Chapter 1323: Banggeng's Pot

In mid-August, the Industrial Exhibition Hall of the Liangma River Ecological Industrial Zone was completed, and Li Huai De attended the ceremony and gave a speech.

Lasting five months, boldly using steel structures and new materials, and accepting the design plan of the French designer team, the Red Star Steel Group finally had its own exhibition and sales venue.

Of course, this was not the group's first exhibition hall; as early as the end of last year, the Jinmen Trade Management Center established an exhibition hall on the first and second floors of the newly acquired office building.

But whether in terms of scale, area, or function, it was not as professional as the exhibition hall built this time.

In his speech, Li Huai De announced a piece of news: the Red Star Steel Group will organize a Joint Industrial Exhibition and Sales Fair at the end of this year.

This was not a whim or a temporary decision; the Red Star Factory had long had experience in exhibiting and selling products.

When Mr. Zhou came to the Red Star Factory for research, the Sales Department organized an exhibition and sales fair for Jingcheng citizens.

The Red Star Factory also actively participated in the exhibition and sales fair located in Yangcheng, as well as the internal exhibition and sales fair held monthly for joint enterprises in Jinmen.

Under the premise of not lacking experience, the Red Star Steel Group can provide a rich variety of products for exhibition and sales.

At the same time, pulling in joint enterprises to hold it together, no one would doubt that this exhibition and sales fair would not be held well; instead, it is full of expectations.

Only, unlike in the past, the person in charge of the exhibition and sales fair is no longer Secretary-General Li Xuewu, but Deputy Director Gao Yaqin, who is in charge of economic work.

This is quite reasonable, but also unexpected.

At the critical period of successive personnel changes in Steel City, at the special moment when Director Li frequently adjusted group cadres, the Secretary-General was absent from such an important activity.

On the surface, everyone should applaud and support, but waves have long been stirred up in their hearts.

Whether Director Li and the Secretary-General have broken up, or the Secretary-General and Deputy Director Gao have split, the situation is too complex.

You all say work hard, don't have factional thinking, and don't stand in line easily, but being in the game, how many can stay out of it?

Those with real relationships and backgrounds are okay, but among those in the government office who want to make progress and carefully drill, which one hasn't actively expressed themselves?

Old people often say, no party within the party, imperial thinking, no faction within the party, strange things, it should be like this.

To say there is no situation of standing in line within the Red Star Steel Group, I'm afraid even the members of the leadership team don't believe it themselves.

But to say it is universally present is also unrealistic, because even if you want to stand in line, you must have enough influence and qualifications.

Let alone staff members, even ordinary section chiefs are not qualified.

To put it another way, an organization, a collective, as long as it develops to a certain scale and period, will have different opinions.

Long-term coordination and organization, different opinions will develop into different factionalism, and will also select representative figures.

If you ask whether Li Xuewu has a place in the factionalism within the Red Star Steel Group, this is purely asking what you already know.

Walking up step by step from the grassroots of the Security Department, participating in all the work of the Red Star Factory's progress toward the group, and experiencing the entire process.

Who in the group doesn't know that the Secretary-General has a unique eye, and his selection and appointment of people have never made a mistake.

Besides this, his means of cultivating talent are also unique; many department heads in the group and branch institutions have received his guidance.

Today, the organizational ecology of the group has changed quietly, and Li Xuewu's "disciples and old friends" have had ideological fluctuations.

Just when Li Huai De was attending the completion ceremony of the Industrial Exhibition Hall, He Yu Shui, representing the Red Star Steel Group Workers' Propaganda Team, was received by *** along with representatives of Workers' Propaganda Teams from other factories.

Afterwards, under the instruction of Li Xuewu, He Yu Shui published an article titled "Initiative Comes from Seeking Truth from Facts" in the Joint Industrial Newspaper on behalf of the group's Workers' Propaganda Team.

Although the article was signed by He Yu Shui, everyone still saw the Secretary-General's writing style in this front-page headline article.

With the importance attached to the work of the Workers' Propaganda Team from above, the group's internal attitude toward this dispatched organization has become increasingly conservative and cautious.

The resume and relationships of the person in charge of the Workers' Propaganda Team, He Yu Shui, were turned over and scrutinized and investigated by countless eyes.

Especially her relationship with Li Xuewu was magnified countless times.

Even the employees and neighbors in the courtyard were subjected to some inquiries and investigations; fortunately, the relationships Li Xuewu managed among the courtyard and surrounding neighbors were proper, and no one talked nonsense.

Coupled with Shen Guodong's relationships and power in the street, no one got any useful information from here.

However, this behavior touched Li Xuewu's bottom line.

What positions He Yu Shui held before, what kind of work she engaged in, what kind of performance she had, that is her personal business.

Now, she is the person in charge of the Red Star Steel Group Workers' Propaganda Team and is a business cadre under his leadership.

What do these people's little actions mean?

The core theme of the article published by He Yu Shui this time is: for a great nation to rise, it must first oppose the "universal" concept; for industry to rise, it must also first oppose the "universal" concept.

In the article, she pointed out that the so-called "universal values" of today are essentially negative concepts.

Anything that deviates from reality cannot enter into effective practice, and practice is precisely the only way to test truth.

Regarding this point, there has long been a conclusion in theory.

At the beginning of Britain's rise, it advocated Bacon's experimentalism; experimentalism does not believe in "universal" dogmas, and all things must be experienced personally.

At the beginning of the United States' rise, there was also Dewey's pragmatism, which is also a philosophy that opposes universalism.

Do not be superstitious, do not worship, do not engage in individualism and dogmatism.

He Yu Shui's article is like a sharp sword; it seems to be an interpretation and promotion of the opinions on the work of her current position, but in reality, it is a quick sword cutting inward, hacking at some monsters and ghosts within the group.

This sword is too sharp, killing without blinking, nowhere to hide, impossible to block.

But if you really get to the bottom of it, facing this article, how many people are blushing, speechless, and angry but dare not speak?

What to say, how to say it; this is clearly the Secretary-General's article; how many pen-pushers in the entire group are tougher than him?

No friendly wooing, no deliberate association; the pen is like a sword, cutting those jumping clowns until their scalps are numb.

This Secretary-General is not a humble gentleman who only knows how to write articles to scold people; if he is rushed, he will use force.

No one expected that at the critical moment when Director Li was gradually perfecting personnel work adjustments and various competent leaders were coordinating work divisions, an article opposing dogmatism was placed in front of them.

The people below dare not move or speak randomly, and what can the leaders above do? The attitude represented by the article published under the instruction of the Secretary-General doesn't need to be asked, and doesn't need to be inquired about.

From the day Director Li took the lead in forming the Management Committee, all policy and theoretical documents were drafted by the Secretary-General.

In other words, all management lines and policies for the Management Committee that Li Huai De is responsible for are formulated by Li Xuewu.

Now, regarding the work deployment for next year, there is no conclusion at the group level, and the people below are panicked first; how can this be?

This slap from Li Xuewu hit everyone in the face, making them, whose heads were hot, instantly calm down.

If you don't eat the literary one, I will come to the martial one.

"I heard Comrade Zhou Miaomiao went to Gangcheng?"

Huang Gan looked at Dou Yaozu with great regret and turned to Li Xuewu: "You are too aggressive in using people."

"Disturbed your interest?" Li Xuewu glanced at him and asked lightly: "Went around a circle, didn't pay the public grain?"

"Sigh—old husband and wife, only that little bit of brotherly friendship is left." Huang Gan has no thief's courage, but his thief's heart has never died; at this moment, he bragged: "I hate young and beautiful girls the most now."

Saying this, he also quite boldly sized up the waiter who came to deliver tea to them, making the little girl blush.

"Go, tell the Security Section that there is a hooligan here." Shen Guodong joked: "Let them prepare chili water and tiger benches."

"Pfft—" The club recruited a batch of waiters, and they all looked unfamiliar, but they also knew they were "big shots."

She couldn't help but snicker at Shen Guodong's teasing, and shyly hid away.

"Oh my—what a pity, what a pity."

Huang Gan didn't know what he was pitying; he smacked his lips watching the little girl leave, and turned to glare at Shen Guodong.

Shen Guodong was familiar with him and didn't care about his attitude at all; he turned to Li Xuewu and reported: "Biao Ge named the first 10,000-ton cargo ship of Dongfeng Shipping 'Dongfeng Jia-A', and asked me to ask you if it's okay."

This ship's trial voyage was at the end of the month before last; Dongfeng Shipping entrusted Yingcheng Shipbuilding to build a 15,000-ton container cargo ship.

How to say it, this is the first 10,000-ton container cargo ship built by Yingcheng Shipbuilding, and also the first large cargo ship of the Dongfeng system.

The happiest person is Ji Weidong; the cargo ships previously rented by Shunfeng Ocean Shipping from Dongfeng Shipping were all in the 1,000-ton class; this time, it went directly to 10,000, one ship being more than fifteen of the previous ones.

Why say so?

Because this is a container cargo ship, which can hold more than a bulk cargo ship.

"I have no opinion; no need to ask me about this little thing." Li Xuewu waved his hand and looked at Huang Gan to remind him: "Chadian Farm must learn to use containers as the main way of cargo transportation."

Li Xuewu and Shen Guodong did not hide anything from Huang Gan in some "private matters," and spoke very frankly here.

Including Dou Yaozu sitting on the side, hearing these private words, he couldn't help but straighten his back; he was still a person Li Xuewu trusted.

"Really can't imagine, it's only been three years, right." Huang Gan sighed and looked at Shen Guodong: "Bird guns changed to cannons; you all have 15,000-ton cargo ships; where can you go to reason?"

"What's wrong, do you have any opinions?" Shen Guodong teased him: "Or should I help you order one too?"

"What for? Go to the sea to blow the wind, or go fishing?"

Huang Gan didn't care; he sat up straight with a smile and picked up the teacup: "I am of course happy to see your success; to tell the truth, I am not jealous at all."

"Hmm, this doesn't sound sour at all." Li Xuewu nodded seriously and looked at Dou Yaozu: "I can testify."

"Hehehe—" Dou Yaozu is a good person, just chuckled, not daring to speak.

Today, he is the most awkward one in this scene.

In terms of status, Li Xuewu and Huang Gan don't need to be mentioned, even Shen Guodong has made a name for himself in the street.

He has been mixing behind Li Xuewu for almost three years, and only mixed a position as vice president of a joint company.

Of course, if you want to say that he has made a leap forward compared to before, isn't it Li Xuewu's care that left him a share in the construction engineering company organized by the Red Star Steel Group and the Santa Ya Group?

But this vice president of the joint company is also far inferior to Shen Guodong, who already has an organizational identity.

In this day and age, it is still one's own people who are reliable.

No matter how high his position is, he is not one of the organization's own people, so after the construction engineering general company was settled, Dou Yaozu also learned from the pain, reined in at the brink of the precipice, and moved closer to the "organization" again.

Who is the organization?

Dou Yaozu also figured it out; his organization has always been Li Xuewu, and must always be Li Xuewu.

"Sour is impossible." Huang Gan smiled and looked at Shen Guodong: "Can the procurement volume in Chadian double this year?"

"You might as well double me—"

Shen Guodong said amusingly: "Doubling last year was because of the centralized procurement of the Jinmen Trade Management Center; there is no such thing this year."

"There is! There is—" Huang Gan pointed his finger at him and emphasized: "The International Business Department of the Red Star Steel Group was established this year."

After saying this, he pointed his finger at Li Xuewu and raised his eyebrows: "Your group's office buildings need to procure office furniture, right?"

"Hehehe—" Li Xuewu smiled and shook his head, "A dignified section chief, even calculating such small profits?"

"Sigh—" Huang Gan shook his head slightly and said: "The situation is difficult; not a single cent can be wasted."

"Do you know what insights I have after going around such a circle?" He looked at Li Xuewu and raised his eyebrows, "Earning more is not as good as spending less; this saying of the ancestors is really reasonable."

"The seven detention centers and four farms of the Jingcheng Labor Reform Bureau have annual financial expenditures as high as millions, sigh—"

Seeming to talk about something worrying, Huang Gan sighed again, looked at Li Xuewu, and asked seriously: "Does what you said to me last time still count? This time, no matter what you say, you have to pull your brother."

"When did what I say not count?"

Li Xuewu took a sip of hot tea, glanced at him, and said: "You are also too dutiful; you became worried about the country and the people after going around a circle?"

"I am of course not crying poor with you here; it's that I didn't expect that the units under my command are really poor."

Huang Gan spread his hands and said: "Don't talk about welfare benefits and equipment updates; even the normal clothing and food are... sigh!"

He said half of his words, shook his hands, full of helplessness.

Li Xuewu looked at Shen Guodong, also lost the mood to watch the fun, put down the teacup, and said: "You say it, which factory do you want."

"Does this still need a choice?" Huang Gan raised his head, looked straight at Li Xuewu, and said: "If you can make the decision, then I want them all."

"Not afraid of choking yourself to death—" Shen Guodong reminded from the side: "Even if the Red Star Factory wants to throw out some tertiary industries, it's not something you can take over entirely; the capital and workers are a big difficulty."

"Choke the bold to death, starve the timid to death; I'm not afraid of being choked to death." Huang Gan looked at him and said: "We are starving to death now; you still tell me we can't take it down?"

"Don't talk about anything else; whatever you can decide to give, I will smash the pot and sell the iron to take it down, but you have to solve the sales problem for me."

He pointed at Li Xuewu and emphasized: "One more thing, I have a little capital, but it's all kept for operation."

"Mechanical equipment is fine, technical materials are also fine; you list a number, and we will definitely pay you back after we make money."

"You bandit." Li Xuewu glared at him amusingly and shook his head slightly: "This is not underworld loyalty, brothers; those tertiary industries are not yours or mine, they are the factory's."

He looked seriously at Huang Gan, who was about to speak, waved his hand, and said: "I know you have no capital; this matter can still be discussed, but I need to discuss it with quality; do you have the authority?"

"Fuck—" Huang Gan knew that Li Xuewu didn't have such cheap things to take, and complained: "I said you weren't that generous."

"Don't use these words to force me; public is public, private is private, and they cannot be generalized." Li Xuewu said frankly: "Supporting you, I have no hesitation; the attitude is certain."

"Don't look at me; I also have to listen to the Secretary-General." Dou Yaozu saw Huang Gan looking at him, and said with a bitter face: "Even if I want to help you, I don't have the say in the general company."

"Old Dou, you've changed—" Huang Gan pointed at him, didn't force him anymore, turned to look at Li Xuewu, and said seriously: "I'll tell you frankly, the above didn't give me an extra soldier or a general, and didn't give me an extra cent of capital; even these two coins in my pocket are from begging."

"I am here now; you say how much it is worth." He looked at Li Xuewu shamelessly, "How much you can trust me, you can accommodate me with how much mechanical equipment; I will start work first and raise the people."

"You don't have to embarrass me, and you don't have to embarrass yourself like this." Li Xuewu sized him up and said calmly: "My trust in you is worth thousands of gold in my eyes, but I don't have thousands of gold."

He didn't care about Huang Gan's anxious attitude, put down the teacup in his hand, and said: "The reason for asking if you can make the decision is to tell you that the Joint Savings Bank can still lend some funds."

"Loan?" Huang Gan frowned slightly and asked: "Is it in the name of our unit?"

"Otherwise? Do you think your face is very valuable in the bank?" Li Xuewu twitched the corners of his mouth and said: "I don't care how you operate; taking the official seal to apply for a loan to purchase mechanical equipment is the procedure."

"Tsk tsk—" Huang Gan smacked his lips, looked at Li Xuewu, and asked: "I apply for a loan from the Joint Savings Bank to buy your factory's mechanical equipment; doesn't this money return to your factory?"

"But you also took away the mechanical equipment—" Li Xuewu looked at him, "You wouldn't want to white-whore from the beginning, would you?"

"Hehe, how could that be—" Huang Gan grinned and said: "It's still your group that knows how to do business; selling loans and selling mechanical equipment, and then the sales side can collect another commission."

"You can also choose not to take a loan, not to buy our mechanical equipment, and not to use our sales channels."

Li Xuewu hummed and looked at him, "I have a lot of personality, and I am most unwilling to do things that force the good to become prostitutes."

"Alright! Who let us be forced by life." Huang Gan knew that he would be earned three times by the Red Star Factory this time, but he still responded by pinching his nose, "That's settled; I'll have someone go through the procedures later."

"Packaging factory, garment factory, glass factory, cement factory, brick and tile factory, we want them all; no amount is too much."

"Take it easy, it's really easy to choke yourself to death."

Li Xuewu stared at him, turned to Dou Yaozu and said: "You need green materials, right? You can talk to Section Chief Huang."

"Talk about what, I won't talk to him." Huang Gan also had a temper; he used to ask Dou Yaozu, but now that he got Li Xuewu's promise and could take over enterprises from the Red Star Factory, he also became crazy.

Dou Yaozu didn't care about his attitude, chuckled and said: "These are all small businesses; how much profit can flowers and plants have."

Once he said this, Huang Gan had even more temper, and didn't even look at him.

"Not necessarily." Shen Guodong looked at Dou Yaozu and asked: "The profit of flowers and plants is not low; the street wants to set up a greenhouse."

"Hi—" Dou Yaozu smiled and said: "We do this as a living; where can Section Chief Huang look at this meager profit of tens of thousands a year."

"Hey! Old Dou, you are wrong to say that!" Huang Gan heard tens of thousands, turned his face, and glared at Dou Yaozu: "Do I care about this tens of thousands?"

"What is our relationship? We are friends! I must support you!"

In late August, the Art Troupe reported the performance plan for the National Day, and also submitted a plan for a cultural propaganda exhibition.

In addition to holding a National Day performance on the afternoon of October 1st, the Art Troupe also wanted to take advantage of the convenience of the Industrial Exhibition Hall, fit the current ideological education situation, and prepare a cultural exhibition on patriotic education themes.

The planned time was set for October 1st to 3rd; Red Star Steel Group employees and their families are free, and citizens' tickets are 20 cents.

Li Xuewu didn't think there would be many citizens actively participating in the exhibition at this time, but the Art Troupe's enthusiasm could not be dampened.

This is also the first time since the Art Troupe was formed that it jumped out of the framework of only preparing literary and artistic performances on May 1st and October 1st, and actively undertook propaganda tasks.

Wang Yajuan, the deputy head of the Art Troupe in charge of literary and artistic work, personally introduced some plan settings to him, and received Li Xuewu's support.

"I don't have any opinions here." Li Xuewu raised his head and looked at her, "Or you, or Jiang Peiqun, should report to Deputy Director Gu, and get her consent and support."

"Then I'll go back and discuss it." Wang Yajuan nodded, understanding the meaning in Li Xuewu's words, "I'll report to you again when there is a result."

"Hmm, how have you been recently?" Li Xuewu picked up the teacup and took a sip, asking casually.

Wang Yajuan glanced at him and replied lightly: "Which aspect are you talking about?"

Li Xuewu didn't speak, just raised his head and looked at her, his eyes full of more concern.

Wang Yajuan packed up the documents, couldn't bear his gaze, and had to look at him, "What do you want to hear me say? Very good?"

"Just tell the truth." Li Xuewu put down the teacup, pursed his lips and said: "I don't mean to probe your privacy."

"And then? Just purely concerned about me?" Wang Yajuan looked at him and asked: "Is it a bit inappropriate to say this here?"

"Concerned about you, but still have to choose a time and a place?" Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, "If I expressed it incorrectly, I apologize to you."

"No need to apologize, it's me who thought too much." Wang Yajuan lowered her eyes and said lightly: "I have already made up the expenses for the guest house, and your money is on your account; that's it."

She took the materials and stood up to leave, but didn't hear Li Xuewu say anything else, and felt unwilling.

After walking two steps, she turned her head and looked at the man behind the desk who was looking at her and asked: "Do you think you are a good man?"

"This question." Li Xuewu's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a smile: "Can I say I am a bad guy?"

"You are a bad guy." Wang Yajuan said this seriously and firmly, turned her head, and went out.

Li Xuewu looked at her back and shook his head slightly, his heart firm about his good man image.

On the 25th, the four central ministries jointly issued the "Notice on Sending Workers' Propaganda Teams to Schools," giving the Workers' Propaganda Team strong political support.

On the 26th, the "People's Daily" published a signed article "The Working Class Must Lead Everything," announcing the latest instructions from above: "To realize the educational revolution of the working class, it must be led by the working class..."

In the article, it requires the Workers' Propaganda Team to be prepared to stay in schools for a long time to participate in the rectification work and lead schools forever.

With the propaganda and instructions rising wave after wave, the Workers' Propaganda Team responsible for by He Yu Shui was broken up into small teams and dispatched to the literary federation, writers' association, news publishing, theaters, sports commission, scientific research institutes, hospitals, and other superstructure units of culture, education, science and technology, and sports, as well as city streets and the May 7th Cadre Schools of the above units.

He Yu Shui doesn't care how the Workers' Propaganda Teams of other factories work; she only acts according to Li Xuewu's requirements and instructions.

Starting from July, the Workers' Propaganda Team of the Red Star Steel Group has arranged for some teachers and students to come to the Red Star Factory for labor study one after another.

It is called labor study, but in fact, they only participated in a one-day enterprise culture education program mainly based on visiting, and then according to the arrangements of the Personnel Department and the Organization Department, they went to the Research Institute and other departments in need to work and conduct research in the capacity of interns.

Don't think about welfare benefits, but they are guaranteed to be full and warm, without any harmful activities.

It is precisely because of Li Xuewu's early layout that relationship units such as the Steel Institute and the Jingcheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital welcomed the Red Star Steel Group Workers' Propaganda Team in advance, mastering the overall situation of the revolution.

In specific work, the group's Workers' Propaganda Team actively cooperated with related units, and after completing the corresponding revolutionary propaganda and work, did not point fingers at these units, ensuring the stable operation of these units to a great extent.

You must know that such behavior, to a certain extent, means the Red Star Steel Group Workers' Propaganda Team is taking risks; He Yu Shui has to bear the main responsibility, and Li Xuewu bears the indirect management responsibility.

But this risk is worth it.

Starting from late August, the Steel Institute and the Jingcheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital signed further cooperation agreements with the Red Star Steel Group respectively.

Both sides completely broke the trust barrier and opened up cooperation channels; under the big environment and situation, they had no choice.

Just as Li Xuewu told He Yu Shui and others, they must keep a clear head and have independent cognition.

The activity is organized by the above, and the benefits must be earned for oneself.

Zhao Yufeng, the former vice president of the Jingcheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, took the position of General Manager of the Red Star Steel Group Baicaotang Pharmaceutical General Company.

The cooperation between the two sides has further developed; thanks to the sincere cooperation in business, this time political mutual trust has been reached.

Li Xuewu had thought about engaging in a medical consortium when the Red Star Joint Hospital was being prepared and created.

The Red Star Joint Hospital is very advanced, and medical resources are very top-notch, and then what?

The medical service system cannot carry out normal business work by fighting alone.

Forming a Joint Hospital based on the Red Star Factory Hospital lacks some necessary experience and means.

This time, a cooperation agreement was signed, one of which is that both sides will send medical workers to each other in the form of exchange and cooperation.

Furthermore, the two hospitals formed a rescue consortium, with the Joint Hospital as the main body, to create a city emergency telephone system.

For this reason, the Red Star Joint Hospital procured 40 ambulances to be used for the dispatch and rescue tasks of the system.

The telephone command center will dispatch the most suitable one of the two medical institutions based on the communication between the patient or the patient's family.

That is to say, those who can call the Joint Hospital, the ambulance will be dispatched, and will quickly carry out rescue according to the actual situation.

Currently, the emergency telephone system only has two hospitals, the Joint Hospital and the Jingcheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and the situations of both hospitals are relatively special.

The Joint Hospital is in a state of trial operation, while the Jingcheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has undergone several rounds of tests, and medical resources are tight.

The cooperation between the two sides this time can be considered complementary advantages and healing each other.

Regarding the emergency system, Li Xuewu is very clear that judging from the current telephone ownership in Jingcheng, the symbolic significance is greater than the actual significance.

But as long as this step is taken, it is equivalent to hitting the brand advancement of the Red Star Joint Hospital.

Before this, no hospital had ever formed an emergency mutual aid system; most of them managed their own patients.

Under this framework, doctors from the Jingcheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital can come to the Joint Hospital for consultations, and doctors from the Joint Hospital can also go to the Jingcheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for exchanges.

Doctors from both sides can interact, and difficult and complicated diseases and complex surgeries can also be carried out in cooperation.

The Joint Hospital still uses Western medicine as the main means of rescue; this cooperation is just right to learn the excellent experience of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Engaging in the combination of Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine did not start from later generations; Li Xuewu has a little bit of insight and cognition in this regard.

His father, Li Shun, also told them about the advantages and disadvantages of Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and talked about which medical means are more suitable for which symptoms.

He of course doesn't remember, but he has an impression of the theory of combining Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Complementary advantages and mutual verification are a major medical direction that will be applied in the future.

Several major projects that Li Xuewu participated in and designed are not his profession, but he can give forward-looking opinions.

He will not over-intervene in specific work and business, but will put forward valuable opinions and draw lines for project development.

In this regard, Li Xuewu's approach is different from some cadres and leaders of the Red Star Steel Group, and it is also more popular.

"I don't want to go to school—"

Li Shu didn't know what she heard, and changed her previous attitude; as the day of school opening approached, she actually had an aversion to going to school.

Gu Ning looked at her quietly, not knowing how to persuade her, or rather, she herself didn't want to send Li Shu to kindergarten so early.

This is all Li Xuewu's fault; Qin Jingru went home on break, but he didn't find a suitable nanny.

It's been more than half a month; he has been sending his daughter and son to the courtyard every morning before going to the unit canteen to eat.

Dinner is a bit complicated; if he works late, he eats at the unit, and if he is early, he eats at the courtyard.

Sometimes when it's the weekend, he also takes his family to a restaurant to eat.

Anyway, the family basically hasn't cooked for more than half a month; the kitchen is the same as when Qin Jingru left.

Han Jiankun wanted Qin Jingru to help for a while longer, but Li Xuewu politely declined; he could see that Han Jiankun also felt sorry for his wife.

On the last day of August, Li Xuewu took his whole family to Yujiaao for a seafood feast; after coming back, Li Shu changed her mind.

"Didn't we agree?"

Li Xuewu patiently pulled his daughter's little hand and said softly: "Don't you want to meet friends in kindergarten?"

"I wanted to before, but I don't want to now."

Li Shu pushed away the new school bag her grandmother made, avoiding it and saying: "Banggeng said, all the kids in kindergarten have snot bubbles."

"Banggeng—" Li Xuewu gritted his back teeth; this was really the first time he wanted to discipline this kid.

"Not all kids have snot bubbles." He took a deep breath, smiled, and explained to his daughter: "Kids in your age group can't take care of themselves well yet."

"I don't have snot bubbles—"

For Li Shu, the most disgusting thing in the world is blowing her nose; her father taught her this good hygiene habit since she was young.

Li Xuewu didn't expect that the good hygiene habit he taught Li Shu when she was young would now become a boomerang hitting his own face.

"Then you can teach the kids not to have snot bubbles, teach them to be hygienic and polite."

He still chose to send his daughter to school; the family really couldn't take care of them anymore, and Gu Ning's study pressure was still very high.

His own work is also getting busier, especially as he is about to enter September; he will be even busier in the coming months.

First, Li Shu has to hire a tutor to teach her piano, and also take her to study and do homework.

Second, the family must hire a nanny; it won't do for the whole family to eat outside all the time; this would be a broken family.

Finally, he is going to work in Steel City next year; Gu Ning cannot follow him, so he must do a good job of the group's layout and stabilize the family.

Now the problem comes; what to do if the daughter doesn't cooperate?

"How about Dad buys you another toy gun?"

Li Xuewu even used the trick of temptation, looked at Li Shu and said: "As long as you go to school obediently, Dad will buy it for you."

"I don't want it, I have a toy gun." Li Shu didn't buy it at all, and even cautiously hid behind, very afraid that her father would sell her to the kindergarten, "I want to go to Grandma's house during the day."

"But Grandma has to take care of Li Tang and brother." Li Xuewu explained helplessly: "Great-grandmother and Grandma can't take care of you anymore; Grandma still has to take care of the family."

"But I don't want to go to school." Li Shu pouted and secretly looked at her mother; she also knew who had the final say.

Gu Ning was also helpless; she wouldn't discuss or compromise with Li Xuewu in front of the children.

Can Great-grandmother and Grandma take care of the children?

This question had been discussed long ago; Grandma had already said that she would take care of all three children the same way, and asked Li Xuewu to send Li Shu to school later.

But Li Xuewu considered a lot; Li Shu would not go to school in the hutong anyway; there was no difference between early and late.

On the contrary, since Gu Ning wants her to go to the hospital's kindergarten, she must get familiar with the environment here as soon as possible.

Children of the same age go to kindergarten at 3 or 3 and a half; she goes at 4 or 5, which is equivalent to transferring.

The environment on both sides interferes with each other; it might not have any impact on ordinary children, but Li Shu is special.

At least in Li Xuewu's heart, she is special.

As a father, he must be responsible for his daughter; the sooner the doubts about her skin color and appearance in the environment are eliminated, the better; the sooner normal senses and habits are built in her heart, the better.

Therefore, like some parents, even if he has to tie her, he must send Li Shu to kindergarten.

The family negotiation completely broke down because of the persistence of Li Shu and Li Xuewu; there was no possibility of reconciliation.

Gu Ning, who should have mediated, never spoke, which earned Li Xuewu the title of bad father in his daughter's mouth.

Tonight for the first time, Li Shu refused his bedtime story reading activity and hid in the quilt alone, secretly wiping tears.

It's really that this family raised her too well; although they taught by example, the Li Xuewu couple educated her and Li Ning very carefully, but compared to other children, Li Shu can be said to have never suffered, let alone been wronged.

Who dares to wrong her? Doesn't her grandfather bully her every time he comes back, and still support her?

Crying doesn't work; Li Xuewu, while feeling distressed, still has to grit his teeth and hold on; this school must be attended.

Tonight, they couldn't talk it over, and tomorrow morning it will be another tough battle.

Before going to bed, Gu Ning also hesitated, hesitating about how to speak to discuss with Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu also saw her hesitation and delay, and took the initiative to say: "Li Shu's personality is too special, and she is smarter than children of the same age, and more willful; she is fully qualified for kindergarten."

He knows his daughter; don't talk about this time; how many children who went to kindergarten in later generations still can't take care of themselves?

But Li Shu knew these things early; Li Xuewu said she was smart, not boasting about his own child at all.

"I'm just afraid she's too smart and her temper is too stubborn."

Gu Ning sighed and worried: "If she can't play with children of the same age, it will restrict her instead."

"Then what to do? Send her to the big class?"

Li Xuewu said helplessly: "This is just the first time going to kindergarten; let her try it first."

"Hmm, I understand what you mean." Gu Ning could feel Li Xuewu's anxiety about Li Shu's specialness.

"She will face this day eventually."

Gu Ning lay in his arms and comforted softly: "She cannot grow up under your protection forever."

"But I will do my best." Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning and said: "I already have a candidate for Li Shu's tutor; after she adapts to school life, I will invite someone to bring her home."
