Chapter 1329: Who are you pitting?

"What are you still following me for?"

Li Xuewu looked at Yan Jiefang, who was following him and wanting to see him off to the car, with some amusement.

Yan Jiefang looked at him helplessly, and then looked at the freight station cadres who also came to see Li Xuewu off.

"Hehehe—" Li Xuewu patted his shoulder with a light laugh and introduced him to Gao Juntong, "This is a little brother of mine."

"However, I must emphasize one thing: I didn't call him to act for you today; it was purely a coincidence."

I really believe that! Gao Juntong examined Yan Jiefang, nodded, and didn't say anything.

He saw Yan Jiefang's little thoughts at a glance; he was afraid that Li Xuewu would be angry if he didn't tell the truth just now, and now he was afraid of being retaliated against.

Li Xuewu could of course see it too; explaining this much to him was enough; saying anything deeper would really be a slap in the face.

What, you Li Xuewu really don't trust me, and feel that our railway station cadres will retaliate?

Don't look down on people; even if there is a heart for retaliation, it won't be aimed at a cripple.

If this really spreads out, forget about him, Gao Juntong, the entire Beijing Railway Station will be famous.

So Yan Jiefang couldn't see it; his heart was already in chaos.

Just based on the fact that Li Xuewu took the initiative to greet him earlier, no one would target him.

A cold attitude is inevitable, who told him to tell the truth.

Regarding the point of taking money and doing things, everyone knows it's wrong; now that the case has broken, everyone is also afraid.

Fear is fear, but who is afraid of money biting their hands?

If you say they could not take it at the beginning, they wouldn't feel sorry, but now Deputy Station Master Gao obviously wants to investigate to the end.

You just say, do they have to spit out what they took at the beginning?

Taking and spitting, it's not that simple.

As the old saying goes, wealth that comes in a crooked way also goes out in a crooked way.

This money didn't come in a good way, and when it was spent, it wasn't in a right way; they don't feel sorry no matter how they spend it.

But what they spit out has to be their own salary; this makes anyone feel sorry.

There are quite a few people who took money at the beginning because they sold favors and relationships, and they had to take it.

Now it's good, the favors are shattered, and the salary has taken a big dive.

For such a long time, probably even they themselves don't remember how much money they took and how much they spent.

If they really have to make it up in one go, they have to dig out their old capital; I don't know how many cadres' old capital is held in the hands of their wives.

Don't even think about it; when they go home today and say it, the whole family will be on fire, and they might even fight.

The situation is here; they dare not hate Li Xuewu, and even less dare to say that Gao Juntong doesn't protect his own.

You Yan Jiefang are making a living at the freight station; we can't clean you up, but can't we look at you with cold eyes?

"Speaking of which, it's all fate." Li Xuewu stood by the car door and didn't rush to get in; he examined Yan Jiefang and said with emotion, "If there wasn't this bitterness, there wouldn't necessarily be today's sweetness."

"I see you've changed to a big truck." He asked, "How is the income now? Is it more than before?"

"It's... it's much more than before."

Yan Jiefang's heart was still empty, and his voice was not very loud when he answered.

Li Xuewu didn't care, nodded, and continued to ask, "Did you buy it in full, or did you buy it with a loan?"

"Full payment." Yan Jiefang felt more confident when Li Xuewu asked about his own affairs, "I sold that car, plus the savings of the past few months, it was just enough for the car money."

"Hmm, it's not easy." Li Xuewu's hand didn't leave his shoulder, and he patted it again this time.

He looked at the truck drivers who were still watching from afar and said, "They are all strivers; roll up your sleeves and work hard. Once you have this first car, you will soon have a second and a third."

"Bulk cargo drivers have indeed solved big problems for the freight station." Gao Juntong also spoke at this time, his eyes sweeping over Yan Jiefang's lame leg, and he was also quite moved, "We are very grateful to them."

"I also believe that the vast majority of comrades at the freight station are good comrades; even if there are some who have no choice, they can be corrected."

Li Xuewu also expressed his attitude at this time; he looked at Gao Juntong and the other freight station cadres and said, "We are all managers; we cannot let comrades sweat and feel cold-hearted."

"If there is any rule in this world that is correct, it is that you cannot bully honest people. What do you all say?"

Without waiting for the freight station cadres to react, he let go of Yan Jiefang's shoulder, shook hands with Gao Juntong again, and got into the car.

As the political and cultural center of the country, the capital has a very high car ownership rate compared to the rest of the country in this era.

The only place that can compare to the capital is probably Shanghai.

But looking at the whole capital, cadres who can use Volga luxury sedans are not seen everywhere; coincidentally, they saw one today.

Otherwise, why would Gao Juntong remind Lao Liang to be careful? How many people who can openly use this car are not easy to mess with?

Looking at Li Xuewu's style, the temperament of his speech, and this set of actions before getting into the car, I don't know how many years it would take for the cadres behind to learn.

Do you think Li Xuewu has been trained, or has specifically studied it?

This temperament is endowed by the status that everyone pursues and the confidence accumulated in daily work; it is definitely top-tier.

Gao Juntong accompanying Li Xuewu for research and inspection has an element of reception, and he is half a level higher in politeness.

But he didn't feel that this half-level meant anything, because he was already forty-five years old; you ask if Li Xuewu is twenty-five.

In front of such a dragon and phoenix among people, playing crooked ways; he stood in place, watching the small car team leave, speechless for a long time.

An Antelope jeep, a Volga sedan, and a 9-seater commercial vehicle; what do you see from such a car team?

Perhaps these cadres at the freight station are still thinking about their salaries, or what Li Xuewu just said.

The station cadres who came with Gao Juntong might have noticed this point; the specification of Li Xuewu's car team this time is very high.

Seeing the small and knowing the big, was Li Xuewu's purpose this time just to handle a Station Master Liang, or the problem of the freight station?

Impossible, Gao Juntong's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and waves had already risen in his heart.

Every word Li Xuewu said here, he was carefully recalling, pondering, and reflecting, trying to figure out what he wanted to do.

Honestly, the Beijing Freight Station has become the most concerned and most profitable project among the three industries of the railway station.

At the beginning, in order to help Yu Haitang, he even disregarded his aunt's wishes, forcibly stood in line, cooperated with Yu Haitang, used the broadcasting station as a position, and supported Lao Li at the meeting.

Of course, he can be considered to have sought benevolence and obtained benevolence, and Lao Li was also very kind to him.

Although the return was not as much as Yu Haitang's, he also made progress compared to before.

These two years, he caught up with the wind of the organization paying attention to propaganda work, factory leaders paying attention to the broadcasting station, and organizational structure changes, so he can be considered to have flown up.

Yu Haitang went from deputy station master to deputy station master, and he also became a small leader at the station.

The edges and corners of the past have been worn down a lot, he gets along well with Yi Honglei, and is very useful at the station.

This time Yi Honglei came out to run relationships and brought him along, which shows that he wants to promote and cultivate him.

Yuan Hua was called by Yi Honglei, so who was Guli Aisha called by?

"The thing I am most gratified about in these two years is that more young people have participated in propaganda work."

Bu Qingfang looked at Yuan Hua and Guli Aisha with a smile, nodded and said to Li Xuewu: "To evaluate the advancement of a department, one must look at the spirit of young people; this is what you said, right."

"Hmm." Li Xuewu nodded, placed his gaze on the two young people opposite, and said with a smile: "With you in the propaganda department, the work is naturally advanced."

"You say I am selling melons and praising them!"

Bu Qingfang smiled, picked up the red wine glass, and teased: "Let's finish it, no return without getting drunk today."

Watching her finish the red wine in the glass in one gulp, Li Xuewu smiled bitterly.

He was really seeing someone drink red wine as white wine for the first time, with such momentum.

Bu Qingfang said her wine capacity was not good; this was being modest in front of Li Xuewu.

Female comrades in the agency, as long as they can mix well, you ask how many can't drink.

Beer and white are the same; when they are ruthless, they are even more willing to let go than male comrades.

And they have advantages, they won't be easily forced to drink, and you can't refuse when they organize it.

Now Bu Qingfang finished it; what could Li Xuewu say? After signaling to others, he also finished it.

Hmm, this glass is toasted to Lao Li.

Although Lao Li was not at the scene, Li Xuewu had always been thinking of Director Li.

He wanted to save any good wine for Director Li; he was just this kind.

"I don't need to praise Master Qian's craftsmanship." Bu Qingfang looked at Li Xuewu with a smile, raised her hand and indicated: "Eat well and drink well, drink well and eat well."

"Hahaha—"

Li Xuewu smiled, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of lotus root to taste, and others then moved their chopsticks.

"How old is Comrade Honglei this year?"

He asked as if casually: "Was it the second factory or the third factory before the merger?"

"Thirty-four, it was the third factory before."

Yi Honglei knew that his business was about to be discussed, and he was grateful for Li Xuewu's straightforwardness, so his answer was more polite.

Li Xuewu nodded, smiled and said: "Director Li was also in the same factory, did you know each other before?"

"I had just started working not long ago." Yi Honglei smiled and replied: "I knew Director Li, but Director Li didn't know me, hehe."

"Director Li hadn't been transferred there for long at that time, right?"

Bu Qingfang was also an old person before the merger, and while eating, she said: "I remember he didn't go to the third factory for long before the merger."

"One and a half years." Yi Honglei nodded, "At that time, Director Li was responsible for ideological education work, and I also saw him at the training meeting."

"Why didn't you take the initiative to contact him?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows with a smile, teased him: "You can also be considered old comrades-in-arms."

"Then Director Li has too many old comrades-in-arms, hehehe—" Yi Honglei also felt it was funny.

At the wine table, only Li Xuewu, Bu Qingfang, and Yi Honglei were chatting; Yuan Hua would stand up from time to time to pour wine for them, and take the opportunity to insert a sentence or two.

Guli Aisha was just here to make up the numbers and eat; however, she was a bit stronger than those post-00s college students in later generations, and she also drank a little red wine.

If you want to praise her more, does it count that she didn't turn the table when the leader picked up the dishes?

Talking about business at the wine table, the topic often starts from reminiscing about the past, which can also be considered a kind of report.

Yi Honglei borrowed Li Xuewu's question about his background to talk about past events.

Starting from the Rolling Steel Third Factory period, all the way to after Li Xuewu started working.

Mentioned his work resume during this period, and slightly mentioned some work achievements and honors.

In fact, Li Xuewu didn't care much about these, just gave him an opportunity to express.

You say Yi Honglei is already the station master of the broadcasting station, a proper section-level cadre, but does he not need to be nervous in front of Li Xuewu?

If you say in the factory, in work reporting, he might be more confident, but now.

He hadn't heard of anyone who could get through Li Xuewu's relationship and get some positions.

Of course, Li Xuewu promoted quite a few cadres in the security department, and even more people in other departments, but this is trust and promotion, not running relationships.

Some ordinary employees asking Li Xuewu for work convenience doesn't count.

If you really investigate carefully, he might be the first person to run work to Li Xuewu.

Everyone says Li Xuewu is strict with himself and lenient with others; he also has no bottom in his heart.

The meaning of being strict with oneself is that he doesn't give these people who run relationships any chance at all.

As Secretary-General, Li Xuewu holds great resources in the group and has a lot of say in the management committee team; if he really supports someone, he can easily get it discussed and passed.

Of course, this right to speak is also his confidence and authority of being strict with himself and not being selfish.

Yi Honglei also doesn't want to engage in private transactions, but his work doesn't enter Li Xuewu's eyes, and he doesn't even have a chance to display it.

So, no gifts, no continuous flattery, only self-introduction.

He brought two young people together, which is enough to show his sincerity and seriousness.

"What is the reaction from the Beijing Railway Station side?" After Yi Honglei finished speaking, Bu Qingfang naturally took over the conversation and asked Li Xuewu: "The influence you caused this time is very big, right?"

"How big can it be?" Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head with a smile, and said: "It hasn't been heard much in the agency, is this called big?"

"People don't care about the freight station's business." Bu Qingfang's eyes flowed, holding the wine glass and saying: "If it really caused discussion in the agency, how big would the matter be?"

"What does Comrade Honglei think?"

Li Xuewu skipped Bu Qingfang's question and turned to look directly at Yi Honglei.

Yi Honglei had long been mentally prepared, paused, and answered: "I have a certain understanding of the freight station's work, and I have also done research."

"Understanding and research alone are not enough."

Li Xuewu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, turned to look at Bu Qingfang and asked: "What do you think?"

"Me? I haven't heard much."

Bu Qingfang shook her head slightly, drank a sip of red wine and said: "If Honglei hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought carefully about why you went to the freight station."

"Dispatch work is actually very important."

Li Xuewu didn't comment on Bu Qingfang's answer, and said indifferently: "Especially Beijing freight, this is the first transportation project we have done, and it has symbolic significance."

"A station master?" Bu Qingfang raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at him and asked: "Not worth it."

"Heh—" Li Xuewu looked at Yuan Hua and Guli Aisha with a light laugh, finally fixed his gaze on Yuan Hua's face, and asked: "Yuan Hua, you are in propaganda management work; if you were asked to be responsible for tracking and reporting this matter, where would you want to cut in?"

"Of course, bulk cargo drivers." Yuan Hua had always been listening to the leaders' conversation, and answered very quickly this time: "Bulk cargo freight drivers are the group involved throughout the entire event."

"And most bulk cargo drivers have kinship with our group's staff."

He looked at Li Xuewu and continued: "If I were responsible, I would start investigating from the side, the price of tricycles, the loan policy of the United Savings Bank, and the income of bulk cargo drivers, and continue to advance to the contradictions and problems this time."

He is indeed responsible for news management work; the angle of looking at the problem is very direct.

Li Xuewu didn't comment immediately after hearing his words, but looked at Bu Qingfang.

Bu Qingfang shook her head slightly and said: "Neither the broadcasting station nor the United Industrial Newspaper can report this matter."

Without waiting for the stunned Yuan Hua to ask, she continued: "The problem is a problem, and if there is a problem, it is only a problem within the freight station; we still have to wait for the railway station's investigation and handling; we cannot be anxious."

"Hmm, in fact, I have also thought about this matter, whether to investigate deeply."

Li Xuewu clasped his hands together, rested his elbows on the table, looked at the few people and said: "Later I thought about it, and gave up."

Yi Honglei, who was sitting beside him, was thoughtful, turning the red wine glass in his hand.

The red wine shaking in the glass was like his mood at the moment, fluctuating and uneasy.

"I understand Comrade Honglei's situation." Li Xuewu turned to look at him, nodded and said: "Being enterprising is a good thing; I support the group's cadres to try more and innovate more."

"Secretary-General, I was a bit radical." Yi Honglei expressed his apology, looked at him and said: "I didn't understand the situation and..."

"No, I'm telling the truth."

Li Xuewu waved his hand, looked at Yuan Hua and Guli Aisha opposite, and said: "My attitude towards young cadres is consistent support."

"Director Li is like this, and the group leadership team is also like this; this is not hypocritical empty talk."

He turned to look at Yi Honglei and said: "You are only thirty-four years old; I don't believe you want to go to retirement, and I never use negative cadres."

Seeing Li Xuewu express his attitude so clearly, Yi Honglei couldn't help but straighten his back, and his confidence increased a bit.

"You've been doing propaganda work for a long time, afraid you can't walk out of this ridge, right?"

"Understandable." Li Xuewu nodded, "Since you want to go for training, go back and prepare more."

"Doing anything is the same; you have to carry a plan to do a career, you can't wait for the career to make a plan, right?"

"Yes, thank you for your trust." Seeing Li Xuewu clarify his attitude, Yi Honglei was also very excited, picked up his wine glass, and after expressing his attitude, finished it in one gulp.

Guli Aisha hadn't understood what the leaders were talking about; she just vaguely felt that the station master's purpose in inviting guests today seemed to have been achieved.

Yuan Hua had a few more years of work experience, and he heard a general idea.

Yi Honglei's age had arrived; even if he was promoted to deputy section chief following the broadcasting station, he would inevitably hit the ceiling and wouldn't be able to climb out for several years.

Thirty-four-year-old section chief, anyone who knows a little common sense in the agency knows how difficult this stage is.

If you don't make progress, your life is over.

If you take the wrong step, your life is over.

You say twenty-four or twenty-five still has the possibility of adjusting the career direction, thirty-four or thirty-five, adjust a fart.

He has been working in the propaganda department from the beginning; if he is promoted to deputy section chief here, he will never want to jump out of the propaganda pool in his life.

Unless he can go to a certain branch company, or branch factory, to serve as a deputy general manager or deputy factory director in charge of propaganda, but this step is too difficult to jump.

Good positions in the group, one radish one pit, many radishes staring at one pit.

He is already thirty-four, only section chief; in Li Xuewu's words, he is clearly a "comrade-in-arms" with Director Li, how come he only has Bu Qingfang's support and relationship, this is not normal.

So, Li Xuewu understood that Yi Honglei wanted to jump out of this circle to accept training and challenges, but the opportunities and directions he could choose were really not many.

Li Xuewu didn't care about the position of a freight station head; what he wanted was influence.

For someone like Yi Honglei who has no foundation, he has to do whatever he is told; if he does well, there is no reward, if he does wrong, wait to be the scapegoat.

You say Li Xuewu has learned to be bad, and doesn't treat people as people?

No, this is the game rule in the workplace, and even Li Xuewu is a person in the game.

Rules are rules; whoever breaks the rules is everyone's enemy.

So you who are new to the workplace can have amazing moves, but don't highlight yourself too much after working for a long time; that's not expressing yourself, that's grandstanding.

"Look, I said it was the Secretary-General's car—"

At the entrance of the Qinyuan Chun restaurant, just as Li Xuewu and the others came out, they saw Cheng Kaiyuan standing under the steps at the entrance, greeting them with a smile.

Li Xuewu also walked a few steps quickly, and only then did he hold the other party's hand under the steps.

"I saw you when I just arrived. I greeted you, but you didn't pay attention to me."

"Oh—" Cheng Kaiyuan's face was red, obviously having drunk a lot; hearing Li Xuewu's words at this time, he said with amusement: "You say this, don't feel guilty—"

"Did you hear it?"

He held Li Xuewu's hand and turned to look at Zhou Zechuan, Zheng Xudong, and others.

Two leaders joking, others had no qualification to mix in, and they were just smiling apologetically at this time.

If you say Li Xuewu is not a good person, obviously using words to frame him, then Cheng Kaiyuan is the same.

How can one stand under the steps and take the initiative to reach out? This old guy was the first to "make a move."

"If I didn't greet you, how would you know I was behind you."

Li Xuewu shook his hand, looked at Zhou Zechuan and others, and said: "You clearly didn't want to take me with you."

"Hehe, you can really—"

Cheng Kaiyuan "hardly" patted the back of Li Xuewu's hand and said: "I only said I saw your car when I came out, when did I say I saw you."

"Furthermore, you are not kind."

He looked at the comrades behind Li Xuewu and teased: "Knowing that we few old men are drinking together, and not saying to bring the comrades over to have fun, huh?"

"The habit of eating alone is not good!"

Look, there are swords and shadows at the entrance of the restaurant, and the leaders are hiding knives in their words.

Li Xuewu let go of his hand and really looked down on this kind of person who learned to rake back.

"I wanted to go over to toast, but I didn't find the location of your private room."

He really knew how to talk nonsense; he specifically asked for the location of the other party's private room when entering the restaurant, and went upstairs after avoiding it; of course, he wouldn't admit it now.

"You ask them, did I say I was going to toast?"

Li Xuewu smiled and indicated the few people behind him, then looked at Zhou Zechuan and said: "Comrade Zechuan, Deputy Director Cheng is drunk, you should believe my words, right?"

He walked to Zhou Zechuan's side, looked at him with a smile, and said: "You are the discipline inspection person in charge who is upright and never bows to evil, you can't tell lies!"

Zhou Zechuan's mouth smiled bitterly; what could he say? The Secretary-General was obviously aiming at him.

Zheng Xudong chose the wrong location for this meal today, and was caught by the Secretary-General.

You just say, what should he say now.

Zheng Xudong stood on the side, his face also full of embarrassment; Li Xuewu didn't even look at him.

In the past, he still had the guts to ignore Li Xuewu, but now does he dare to look down on the Secretary-General?

Sometimes standing in line in the agency doesn't represent absolute; you can't offend this one in order to curry favor with that one.

Thinking about it, one can know why Li Xuewu ignored him.

After the food company was established, he was responsible for technical-related work.

Originally, the three-industry industrial food project was Li Xuewu's project planning; although he was not a person promoted by Li Xuewu, he was also a beneficiary.

At that time, the food company became independent from the three-industry industry to operate, and he could be considered to have risen with the tide.

As the deputy general manager of the food company, he had to face whether to maintain the relationship with the former direct supervisor Deputy Director Jing, or stand in

She is really eloquent; Wei Zaike and Xia Zhongquan both looked at her, their eyes filled with appreciation.

"Our guesthouse completely obeys the leadership of the organization, and everything acts according to the command."

Qin Huairu expressed her attitude while pouring water for the leaders, and added, "If there are really difficulties, it's no problem for us to hold on for a while."

"You can hold on, but this water resource treatment center can't." Li Huai De stood up with a smile and walked to the mahjong table, "Don't worry, once the group's main body project is completed, the construction force that can be freed up will be huge."

"Even if the new guesthouse is eleven stories high and has three building complexes, it won't be enough for the engineering company to do."

"Of course, of course I'm relieved."

Qin Huairu saw that the leader couldn't help but start setting up the Great Wall, so she ended her topic, "With you in the group, we can put one hundred hearts into our work on the front line."

"You—" Li Huai De smiled and pointed at her, then said to Li Xuewu, "Once the drawings are out, announce them, and let everyone understand the progress of our factory's work."

"In fact, it's not just the drawings of the guesthouse that need to be announced." Li Xuewu finished arranging the mahjong tiles and looked at Li Huai De, "The Comprehensive Management Department is organizing research to announce more work content that does not involve confidentiality to the factory staff."

"In the form of a newspaper?"

Li Huai De rolled the dice and grabbed the tiles first, saying, "It's better to be cautious."

"Don't blow the bull out, and then not do the thing."

"It can't go through the United Industrial Newspaper; it's an internal work disclosure channel." Li Xuewu reported while grabbing and arranging tiles, "Announcement boards, daily work reports, work briefings, etc., are still being discussed specifically."

"Hmm, this can be done." Li Huai De pointed at the mahjong tiles in his hand and said, "Work disclosure, trust will naturally come."

Who knows if what he said can be done is the work Li Xuewu just reported, or the mahjong tiles in his hand.

Qin Huairu could clearly see that Director Li's face was happy; it looked like he had grabbed a good hand.

What's the use of a good hand? Some people clearly have a good hand, but can play it into a mess.

Of course, it's not talking about Director Li here; Director Li's mahjong skills are also bottom-lined, after all, he has practiced hard for many years.

Unlike some people, there is no bottom line, and no bottom pants.

"Why did you think of inviting me to dinner?"

At the end of September, Li Xuewu had just finished discussing the reverse of education and medical financial budgets, as well as the possibility of self-financing, with Wei Zaike.

Here, Bu Qingfang knocked on the door and walked in.

She was familiar with Wei Zaike, didn't care about his presence at all, and directly issued an invitation to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu pointed at Wei Zaike with amusement and reminded her, "Don't you want to be polite?"

"Where does he have time to eat my treat."

Bu Qingfang glanced at Wei Zaike and said, "Who doesn't know that Director Wei is busy day and night, busy until he has gastroptosis."

"Her mouth is unforgiving; why did you think of inviting her to the Comprehensive Management Department? It's really confused."

Wei Zaike said Bu Qingfang's mouth was unforgiving, but his mouth wasn't much better.

It's just that the relationship between the three had long had a tacit understanding, and joking was casual.

"Forget it, it's rare to eat your meal, I must give face."

Li Xuewu first responded to Bu Qingfang, then looked at Wei Zaike and asked, "Do you have any social engagements tonight?"

"Yes, if she hadn't spoken first, I would have invited you in a while." Wei Zaike said this, not knowing if it was true or false, raised his eyebrows and said, "Who told her to get there first, and I don't dare to compete with her."

"Look, this conversation can't go on." Bu Qingfang glared at him and said, "Is there a time when you invite people to dinner? Are those people outside so blind?"

"Look, this conversation can't go on."

Wei Zaike finished talking about his business, stood up to say goodbye, and teased Bu Qingfang before leaving, "You wouldn't be envious of me, would you?"

"Go to yours—" Bu Qingfang also scolded with a smile, "When you have surgery, I will definitely go to the hospital to mock you."

"I'll be waiting." Wei Zaike made a fuss and left.

Only the two of them were left in the office, and Li Xuewu asked again, "Why did you think of inviting me to dinner? Is there something?"

"There is something, but it's not my business, it's Yi Honglei's; we'll talk about it when the time comes." Bu Qingfang didn't care too much about the dinner tonight, but instead cared about the work Wei Zaike just talked about.

"The budget indicators for the Education and Medical Administration Bureau this year have already been given very fully; Deputy Director Jing emphasized this at the meeting."

She reminded Li Xuewu, "Don't always listen to him crying poor; he just treats himself as the God of Wealth, and responds to every request from below."

"Isn't the one who responds to every request the king in the wishing pool?" Li Xuewu raised his head and glanced at Bu Qingfang, amused, "Since when did the God of Wealth respond so readily?"

"You can really fix—" Bu Qingfang was amused by him and smiled, shaking her head slightly, "He treats himself as the God of Wealth, and also treats you as a god, and feels that after passing your level, Deputy Director Jing's level will be easy to pass."

"Hmm, he really came to calculate money."

Li Xuewu nodded and explained, "The tightness of education and medical funds this year is due to special circumstances; equipment and resource procurement account for a large part, and the group must understand and support this."

"However, I also told him just now that whether it is education or medical care, it should be self-financing as soon as possible."

"Self-financing? You really dare to think."

Bu Qingfang said hesitantly, "Let's talk about the school side first; with the investment of the past two years, and the newly built discipline projects, how can it be enough to be self-financing just by relying on the tuition fees of basic education."

"Let's talk about medical system construction; the Beijing campus of the United Hospital is just the first step; next, there are the Steel City and Yingcheng campuses."

She said firmly, "Wanting to be completely self-financing is impossible, at least it's not realistic in recent years."

"Even if it's not realistic, it must be done; this is the trend of the future."

Li Xuewu tapped the desktop and explained to her, "Basic education and higher education cannot be free forever."

"Regarding this point, those above have already given experimental policies and foundations, it's just that the group's original intention in creating the United School was to cultivate excellent industrial and management talents, and it has certain constraints."

He spread his hands on the desktop and said, "If we can guarantee the excellence of graduates, work harder on some training projects, and organize school-factory cooperation projects well, we will definitely be able to create benefits."

"Laboratory projects?" Bu Qingfang had learned about this work and frowned, asking, "Some technologies cannot be judged by value, and there is no way to transfer funds; how to determine that the United School has achieved self-financing?"

"This aspect still needs construction." Li Xuewu frankly admitted the insufficiency of this point of view, but still determined, "The Education and Medical Administration Bureau is already making systems and plans."

"It seems Director Li has a lot of confidence in these two projects."

Bu Qingfang looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Was it this matter that we talked about when we called you over to play mahjong that day?"

"Hmm, it's still a financial problem."

Li Xuewu let out a long breath and explained, "Deputy Director Jing has already given the plan for this year's financial settlement; Director Li is considering next year, how to move around when some projects are launched."

"If the education and medical projects can achieve self-financing, I believe a lot of space can be freed up."

"Of course, I know this is very difficult, and Director Li knows it too." He nodded and said, "But everything is difficult at the beginning; you have to do the work first to know whether it is difficult or not."

"For example, medical investment will definitely decrease next year."

Li Xuewu said earnestly, "The scale and direction of the Steel City Hospital need to be adjusted, for example, a sanatorium."

"Yingcheng is the same; internal medicine and complex disease departments are to be built in the Beijing campus, while the other two campuses are still mainly surgery and emergency."

He tapped his fingers and said, "Relevant construction funds also need to be raised with the participation of both places."

"Plus the use of the Beijing campus of the United Hospital, and the implementation of policies such as medical insurance, there will also be a part of the source of funds."

"Haven't thought about joint operation?" Bu Qingfang raised her eyebrows and said with amusement, "Even electronic industry and automobile industry can engage in joint operation and sell shares; why can't hospitals."

"Hospitals can too, and they are very capable."

Li Xuewu sighed and looked at the fountain pen on the table, saying, "It's just that the timing is not very mature yet."

"Is it afraid that the valuation is too low? Or—" Bu Qingfang guessed boldly, "It wouldn't be afraid of problems appearing internally, would it?"

"Still have to walk and see." Li Xuewu didn't answer her question directly, but emphasized, "At least it is like this at present."

"Medical self-financing is really possible in this period."

Bu Qingfang was also thinking about this problem, "The United Enterprise giving up medical construction investment and concentrating more resources on the United Hospital is actually more cost-effective."

"You think so, so how do you let others think?"

Li Xuewu smiled, didn't talk about this topic anymore, looked at his watch and said, "Get busy for a while, we'll talk after work."

"Didn't disturb you, did I?"

Before leaving, Bu Qingfang was still confirming, "I heard you go back to your mother's house to pick up your son every day?"

"No need now, the family has hired a nanny."

Li Xuewu explained with a smile, "The small one is with the nanny during the day, and the big one is in kindergarten during the day; I'm considered worry-free."

"Okay, you can have a third one."

Bu Qingfang made a joke and went out; she also had work to do.

In fact, the purpose of her inviting him to dinner tonight had already been explained to Li Xuewu; it wasn't her business, it was Yi Honglei's.

Who is Yi Honglei?

The former deputy section chief of the first propaganda section, later transferred to the broadcasting station as station master; Bu Qingfang was his former direct supervisor.

Of course, now Bu Qingfang has arrived at the Comprehensive Management Department, and as deputy secretary-general, she needs to cooperate with Li Xuewu to contact the publishing house.

In other words, she is still Yi Honglei's direct supervisor now.

Li Xuewu couldn't guess what Yi Honglei's business was, but it was probably just that little bit of business under his butt.

In the entire group, there really was no one who recommended themselves in front of him, and even less who came to run relationships.

Yi Honglei running relationships in such a roundabout way is more like a work interview with a guarantor.

If he wants to win Li Xuewu's support, he must show enough ability and strength.

But Li Xuewu might not necessarily give him the face to watch his performance, so there must be a guarantor who has the face to invite Li Xuewu.

How difficult it is to invite Secretary-General Li Xuewu, the whole group knows; except for Director Li, he hasn't seen anyone who can invite him.

If there is a polite one, Li Xuewu also uses the excuse of going home to pick up children, which makes people laugh and feel helpless, to block it.

You say he is acting fake, but he really needs to go back to his parents' house to pick up children; it's just that this excuse is placed in the crowd of generally thirty or forty years old, which seems a bit funny and helpless.

Those who come to invite guests, most of the children are already in junior high school, so they wouldn't think that children still need to be picked up.

Li Xuewu can calmly accept Bu Qingfang's invitation, not to give Yi Honglei face, but to give Bu Qingfang face.

After all, she is going to carry out work in the Comprehensive Management Department and needs to establish prestige and interpersonal relationships.

The past is the past; now she is the deputy secretary-general, transferred from the propaganda department, so she is not a direct leader.

A direct supervisor and a direct leader are not the same thing; even the work forms and methods are different and cannot be confused.

Whether Yi Honglei makes progress or stays in place, it is helpful to her.

Li Xuewu helping is just this one time, letting people below know his trust in Bu Qingfang is enough.

In fact, agencies are all handled this way, otherwise leaders don't need to do anything else, and there are people inviting them to dinner every day.

After work, Li Xuewu walked a step slower; when he arrived at the restaurant by car, Bu Qingfang and the others had already arrived one step ahead.

However, walking slower had its gains.

At the entrance of 【Qinyuan Chun】, Li Xuewu saw several cars from the factory.

Nie Xiaoguang was really clever, and his eyesight was good; when he saw the few cars in front, he deliberately slowed down the speed, so that Li Ge had room for relaxation.

In fact, Li Xuewu didn't need relaxation; Zhou Zechuan of the discipline inspection and Zheng Xudong, deputy general manager of the food company, accompanied Cheng Kaiyuan out of the car and went straight to the hotel lobby, not noticing the car behind at all.

It was really because the restaurant was managed well; Li Xuewu glanced at the parking lot after getting out of the car, and it really had the appearance of tight parking spaces in later generations.

Parking spaces are tight, and the group's positions are also tight.
