Chapter 1351: Deputy Director Su really likes me

"Do you think this thing can sell well?"

Gao Gao Yaqin glanced sideways at Li Li Xuewu, who was walking beside her, and asked, "There hasn't been any improvement in the sales data for the previous quarters."

"Hi, who can calculate this accurately—"

Li Li Xuewu walked slowly with his hands behind his back, looking like an old man strolling.

Watching Cheng Kaiyuan "striding like flying" in front, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said playfully, "Just hit three poles whether there are dates or not."

"Mm, there must be dates." Gao Gao Yaqin said helplessly, "But if you do this, can you hit them down?"

"Once these three poles are hit, you don't have to care whether the dates have come down." Li Li Xuewu turned his head to look at her, "Maybe there will be unexpected gains, who knows."

"The drunkard's intent is not in the wine."

Gao Gao Yaqin understood, turned half her body to look at him, and said, "You always have astonishing moves; can't you reveal one or two in advance?"

"Hey—" Seeing her say this, Li Li Xuewu pretended to be a master and said mysteriously, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

"Virtue—" Gao Gao Yaqin glanced around, and seeing no one nearby, she asked in a low voice, "The atmosphere in the team has been a bit wrong recently; is there something going on?"

"No, it's quite normal, right."

Li Li Xuewu asked with a blank look, "What atmosphere is wrong? How come I didn't feel it."

"Hehe—" Gao Gao Yaqin curled her lips, "If you don't want to say it, I don't want to ask anymore."

"Sigh, I really don't know what you are talking about."

Li Li Xuewu was really good at acting, took two quick steps to catch up with Gao Gao Yaqin, and explained, "And you don't know I've been very busy recently."

"Busy, how busy are you." Gao Gao Yaqin said with a tricky tone, "Busier than me, I wouldn't dare to bother you."

"Look at this talk, how cold it is."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and said, "You are busy, you are busier than me. Selling these shares has helped the group a lot."

"I'm telling the truth, Secretary-General." Gao Gao Yaqin looked at him seriously and said, "This work is really not easy to do."

"Your proposal at the meeting, I think about it now, and really feel it's a pit."

"Look, you're complaining about me again."

Li Li Xuewu's mouth was hard and didn't spare idle talk. Gao Gao Yaqin was dissatisfied, but he didn't take it.

"Those who understand know that the factory wants to carry out economic transformation, and those who don't understand are talking behind my back about me selling houses, land, and factories."

"Especially the kind of full asset sale."

She was a bit angry that Li Li Xuewu was standing behind and talking sarcastically, turned her head and poked him a few times to vent her anger, and complained, "People gave me a nickname called Gao Sell-Sell—"

"Hehehehe—"

Li Li Xuewu dared to swear to heaven that he really couldn't hold it back, but he wouldn't have laughed out loud in front of Gao Gao Yaqin if he could.

It was really that this nickname, combined with Gao Gao Yaqin's expression, was too humorous, having a feeling of both anger and joy.

"You're still laughing, you're still laughing—"

Gao Gao Yaqin herself laughed in anger, but poked Li Li Xuewu a few more times to vent her anger, and didn't care that someone was watching them on the way back.

"Cough cough—" Li Li Xuewu almost choked on his laughter, waved his hand to beg for mercy, and said, "I apologize, I shouldn't have laughed at you."

"However, the suggestion at the meeting was not wrong."

His mouth was hard, and he had to insist even if Gao Gao Yaqin was angry, otherwise he couldn't carry this pot.

"You are clear about the situation of the group's team members. There is no problem with industrial system management and financial management."

Li Li Xuewu eased his expression and said seriously, "But when it comes to capital operation and economic management, it's still a bit lacking."

"It's nothing more than selling, selling, selling." Gao Gao Yaqin let out a long breath, put her hands in her coat pockets, and said, "This work could be done by anyone who came."

"Hey, talk is talk, noise is noise, work can't be a joke." Li Li Xuewu emphasized, "The group can slim down quickly and solve development funding problems with the smallest price. You are the first merit."

"Why don't you want this merit?"

Gao Gao Yaqin glared at him and said, "Don't tell me you don't have this ability, be careful I'll beat you."

"We are good comrades, I won't hide anything from you." Li Li Xuewu said with emotion, "You should have some understanding of my current situation."

This was said, and Gao Gao Yaqin was also silent for a while.

Li Li Xuewu's situation was in the same team, how could she not understand.

Promoted in name but demoted in reality—perhaps this is the most suitable interpretation of Li Li Xuewu's current work situation.

Many people are saying that Director Li used the position of secretary-general to exchange for a third-industry industry, a savings bank, and a security group.

This talk is a bit murderous, but anyone with a discerning eye can hear who this talk is about.

Realistically, Li Li Xuewu took one step back after another, from the position of security group leader to the position of office director.

Now that the organizational system has changed, even the position of general management department manager is responsible by Bu Bu Qingfang.

Bu Bu Qingfang, who was transferred to the general management department, also held the position of deputy secretary-general, which means Li Li Xuewu only has a secretary-general left now.

Open conspiracy, everyone jokes that this is Director Li releasing military power with a cup of wine.

Handed over the third-industry industry, handed over the joint savings bank, and further handed over the security group.

These three industries have successively carried out institutional and organizational changes. It was Li Li Xuewu who laid the foundation to have today's achievements.

But Li Li Xuewu didn't enjoy the feedback of influence he should have, and many people were watching his excitement.

If Director Li calculates properly this time, dissolves the Liaodong Industrial Management Group, and Dong Li Xuewen returns to Beijing, but Li Li Xuewu cannot go to Steel City as he wishes, he can basically be cut off for at least three years.

Three years later, the secretary-general is transferred to Steel City, and the situation has long changed. It's hard to say how much he can pick up.

Therefore, Li Li Xuewu said his situation was difficult, and Gao Gao Yaqin also had a deep understanding.

She had heard that Li Li Xuewu was responsible for the work of the propaganda team some time ago, and the work was done very well.

But he was immediately deprived of his existing influence by Director Li, and the work of the propaganda team was transferred to Deputy Director Gu.

Some people felt aggrieved for Li Li Xuewu, only Li Li Xuewu accepted all this calmly, just treating it as the last training before spreading his wings to fly.

"Hehe, don't worry about me."

Li Li Xuewu glanced at Gao Gao Yaqin, who was silent, and said with a light smile, "I am the secretary-general of the group."

"The Gemini car didn't consider the domestic market at the beginning of its design, so there's no need to worry about its sales."

Li Li Xuewu walked with his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly to look at the overcast sky, and said, "But arranging domestic tours will inevitably lead to multi-party discussions among car-making enterprises and car-using units and individuals."

"Its unique design, rich functions, excellent layout, and low price will inevitably become a focus."

He turned his head and looked at Gao Gao Yaqin, saying, "Let more people understand the Red Star brand, understand our car-making sequence."

"The Antelope second generation is ready to go, just waiting for the right time to go online. The three-box sedan has already been approved. It will be online in two years at most."

Li Li Xuewu stood still and said seriously, "Once the Red Star brand forms a public opinion trend, then every half year, the Steel City Automobile Factory will launch several car models to stabilize this trend."

"Not afraid of controversy, just afraid of no one discussing."

Gao Gao Yaqin understood his meaning, nodded and said, "We are still stretching the price of Steel City Automobile Factory shares."

She looked at Li Li Xuewu with a smile, "If this round of momentum is successful, several new car models will be listed one after another, I believe..."

"Hehehehe—"

When did Li Li Xuewu ever command randomly? Everything he asked to be done was premeditated.

At this moment, the two smiled knowingly. Those who understand, understand.

Li Li Xuewu didn't want her to understand, and believed she couldn't understand it at this moment.

"Why did you just come?"

Seeing Li Li Xuewu get off the sedan, Li Li Zhengfeng greeted him very impolitely, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"I didn't tell you, no need to wait for me."

Li Li Xuewu looked at this old man amusedly and joked, "If I didn't come today, would you have waited for me for a day?"

"Who let me be poor and have short ambitions."

The cheap old uncle really had something to say. Li Li Zhengfeng raised his eyebrows, looked at him, and said, "Even if you wanted to take a nap and come later, wouldn't I have to stand in the cold wind and wait for you."

"Hey, I have received your criticism."

Li Li Xuewu really couldn't do anything about him, walked to his side and explained, "The unit was delayed by something. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

Before Li Li Zhengfeng could say anything more, he wrapped his arm around the old man's shoulder and bundled him toward the inside of the hall.

The cadres of the Light Weapons Institute who came out to meet them wanted to laugh when they saw this scene, but didn't dare to laugh.

They were all familiar with Li Li Xuewu, a leader of the Red Star Factory, who often ran to the Light Weapons Institute before.

Later, several cooperative projects achieved results, so he came less often, and sometimes would bring people to shoot.

The shooting here is the proper kind, not kneeling someone on the edge of a pit, with a pistol or long gun on the back of the head.

"I'm telling you." Li Li Xuewu whispered while bundling the cheap old uncle in front, "A restaurant opened by the riverside commercial area of the Liangma River Ecological Industrial Zone."

"I won't emphasize the taste to you. It's a restaurant newly opened by our factory's reception station. The craftsmanship is absolutely authentic..."

Listening to Li Li Xuewu's bluffing, Li Li Zhengfeng didn't continue to argue with him, saying he was waiting for Li Li Xuewu to come and investigate. Actually, he had been very idle recently, had no proper business, and deliberately set a trap here.

Li Li Xuewu took his set, and even if he didn't, he wouldn't have any loss.

"I don't trust your words, but I have to trust your Director Li's mouth—"

Li Li Zhengfeng's words were really dirty, and his scolding was really dirty.

"Your Director Li is famous for not changing his heart for food, and not drinking enough wine. If he wants to ponder a restaurant, I absolutely trust him."

"Hey hey, don't say that when you go."

Li Li Xuewu reminded him amusedly, "Our Director Li is narrow-minded and will give you small shoes to wear."

"Who, he can still manage me!"

Li Li Zhengfeng was just joking, teased a shell, and took Li Li Xuewu to the conference room.

This side was really prepared early, looking like they were waiting for him to come.

"No need for this, we are all one family."

Li Li Xuewu looked at the melons, fruits, and tea drinks on the table and said politely, "Old Uncle, you are too polite."

"Hehehehe—"

The cadres of the Light Weapons Institute who followed in laughed when they heard him tease like this.

If it were in other work occasions, Li Li Xuewu calling him Old Uncle would be really offensive and not knowing the rules.

But in fact, everyone knows that Li Li Xuewu's Li and Li Li Zhengfeng's Li have nothing to do with each other; it's the two of them messing around.

To be precise, it's Li Li Xuewu messing around, forcibly pulling the uncle-nephew relationship. Everyone listens and is happy, and no one will take it seriously.

"You have a lot of face now, different from the past, right."

Li Li Zhengfeng was also able to mess around, let Li Li Xuewu sit at one end, and sat down with him.

He also teased, "You are the secretary-general, your spectrum is bigger than mine, can I not receive you cautiously."

"If you, Secretary-General Li, take care of us, it would be good for our Light Weapons Institute to have good fruit to eat, right?"

"If you want to talk about care, it must be the Light Weapons Institute taking care of us."

Li Li Xuewu replied impolitely, "Our Director Li has repeatedly emphasized that scientific and technological development is the primary productive force."

"Precisely because of the support of the Light Weapons Institute, we have made rapid progress in the new hardware industry."

The several engineers who came with Li Li Xuewu did what they should do. Those who really had nothing to do would listen to them pulling calves.

These two didn't have a useful word in their mouths, and there was no value. If it wasn't pulling calves, what was it?

Of course, every important work starts with this kind of pulling calves.

While they were talking, a researcher brought several weapons and placed them on the conference table. The specifications looked quite large.

Li Li Xuewu took the expression seriously, looked at the weapons on the table, and already had a plan in his heart.

"Flamethrower, is this thing still okay?"

Li Li Zhengfeng had nothing to brag about, and even had to show off this simple weapon.

Li Li Xuewu didn't mind his pride; after all, this was a difficult problem he gave to the other party, and the other party solved it.

A long time ago, he told the cheap old uncle that jungle warfare, bunker warfare, and urban warfare would become the mainstream of the future.

Tanks, cannons, etc., are not impossible to research, but if you want to achieve something, especially with the family background of the Light Weapons Institute, it is better to do the light weapon system well.

Someone asked, what is difficult about a flamethrower? Just get a gasoline drum, insert a tube, and connect it to the sprayer.

Well, that's right, the principle is just that simple.

If you have nothing to do, you can also do it yourself. The raw materials are in life: sprayers, cotton, iron wire, and fuel. Fuel can use alcohol.

I won't explain how to make it here, otherwise there will always be old sixes who will practice it.

The fuel of the flamethrower will use gasoline, but it is not entirely gasoline; there is also a certain thickening agent.

It is necessary to fully consider the use of the flamethrower, more fuel support, longer spray distance, and safer use environment.

So I personally feel that the principle is simple, but in weapon design, there is still a very high difficulty.

Readers who have been on the battlefield should all know that soldiers carrying and using flamethrowers are the most dangerous.

Carrying three fuel tanks is a source of danger that will explode at any time, and once discovered by the enemy, it will definitely become the primary attack target.

Even if you stand with the company commander, the enemy will hit you first.

It's just that the lethality of this thing is too terrifying; people are afraid when they see it, and people are terrified when they see it.

It's not that the power of this thing is how powerful, but the deterrent power to the enemy, and the ruling power of the trench.

Bullets can't turn corners, but fire can.

The flammable liquid sprayed out has a certain burning time. Once stained, it is death.

You say I will roll, roll on the ground once and the fire will go out.

Bullshit, you won't be able to put it out even if you roll into the Pacific Ocean. This thing won't end until the fuel is burned out.

If you encounter it, you are just unlucky, unless you carry a special fire extinguisher with you.

Why did Li Li Xuewu let the Light Weapons Institute engage in this thing? Because this thing has a market.

Besides, research now, catching up with large-scale production in a few years, is just right to burn monkeys.

"It consists of three parts: fuel tank, spray gun, and oil delivery pipe." Without using anyone else, the cheap old uncle took the initiative to introduce it to him: "The total weight is 20 kilograms, and the total length is 850 millimeters."

"The main body uses three fuel tanks, the maximum range can reach 45 meters, and the filling time is 4 minutes."

"20 kilograms?" Li Li Xuewu frowned when he heard this and asked, "Can it be improved for lightweight?"

"Yes, of course." Li Li Zhengfeng answered very happily, "Technology is advancing, and one day it will be lightweight."

"But you and I both know that no matter how lightweight this thing is, the soldier's load will not change."

He pointed to the fuel tank and reminded, "Single soldier load has a limit. If the weapon is lightweight, fuel will be added."

"Our direction of effort should be to increase firepower, not just want to reduce the burden for soldiers."

"What you said makes sense."

Li Li Xuewu had to admit that the cheap old uncle's theory was fine. It is not difficult for a single soldier to carry 20 kilograms of flamethrower.

"I tell you, we have long wanted to engage in this thing." Li Li Zhengfeng touched the flamethrower and introduced, "It's just that the application of this thing is very narrow, and it has never been equipped on a large scale, so it is difficult to have a development market and project funds."

"That is to say, we have money now, and you said this thing can be exported, so we dug it out from the waste paper pile."

This is not mysterious at all. There are many good things in the country that have been falling gray on project books because there is no research and development funding.

Flamethrower is not high-tech, nor is it a new invention. It was used in World War I and World War II, and it is a very, very easy-to-use close-range combat equipment.

It can play a huge role in hiding places, trenches, air-raid shelters, fortifications, and bunkers, and can effectively consume vital forces.

"I won't test the effect; I believe in your professional quality." Li Li Xuewu looked at Li Li Zhengfeng with a smile and said, "Make the production formula as soon as possible. After large-scale production is realized, the Light Weapons Institute will wait for dividends."

"Talking about money is too vulgar—"

Li Li Zhengfeng was not serious. He teased Li Li Xuewu at this moment, really happy to hear that there was money.

Who dislikes money?

Since cooperating with the Red Star Factory, units like the Light Weapons Institute that were struggling to survive in the tide of the era have also become small cows sitting on airplanes—cow-bility to the sky.

Li Li Xuewu provides production requirements, they do design and experiments, and after the products are made, they are handed over to the Wei Third Regiment for inspection.

After having test basis, the weapon manufacturing factory of Red Star Steel Group in Steel City can go online for production.

After the products are produced and boxed, they will never see the sun in the mainland again, and will be shipped directly from the Yingcheng Port terminal.

Don't ask where they were shipped. Anyway, the Steel City Weapon Factory will not lack orders in the next three to five years.

The Light Weapons Institute was very anxious about product sales before, and had been helping to promote to the general assembly.

No need to be anxious now, because foreign trade is done well, and they don't lack this bit of domestic sales.

Besides, Red Star brand weapons have a trend of blooming outside the wall and smelling inside. That kid Atte has advertised for them a lot in Africa.

Just take the 66-6 sniper rifle. Even a fool would have to say that this gun has something to do with SVD.

But in reality?

From design to experiment, the Light Weapons Institute gave a full set of R&D data. Even God would have to admit that this is independent research and development.

It's just that there is a name in the design team that is not very proper. It is said to be the director's nephew, a relationship household.

See through but don't say through, still good friends.

SVD can't be bought for any amount of money. The Russians have just started to equip it. The general assembly has already investigated it. The initial procurement volume is not very large, but there are 3,000.

Three thousand. Although Li Li Xuewu didn't dare to give Atte that price, this thing is really not cheap.

Anyway, after the money arrived, the canteen of the Light Weapons Institute changed from having meat to having seafood and southern fruits.

Li Li Zhengfeng is willing to give the institute food and drink. As long as there is money to earn, everyone is happy, and no one has anything to do to engage in big learning.

So Li Li Xuewu looked at the researchers on both sides of the conference table, each with a bit of oil, and their foreheads were even more shiny.

Let's put it this way, if you don't eat meat for a year, your face won't have oil even if you are fat. If there is oil on your face, you must have eaten oil and water.

"Look at this pistol again."

Li Li Zhengfeng showed off, picked up the black pistol on the desk and placed it in front of Li Li Xuewu.

Like offering a treasure, he pointed out the structure on the pistol, letting Li Li Xuewu see how carefully they designed it.

What is the most produced pistol in the country in this era?

The answer is very simple: Type 54.

Let's put it this way, as long as short guns are mentioned, it is basically this thing, and even later generations have individual production.

Of course, that kind of individual production is illegal.

This is talking about the influence of Type 54 pistol on the use of guns by the Chinese.

Type 54 semi-automatic pistol imitates the Tokarev TT33 pistol of the Russians during World War II, firing the 7.62x25mm Type 51 pistol ammunition that imitates the Tokarev pistol ammunition, with a magazine capacity of 8 rounds and an effective range of 50 meters.

Type 54 semi-automatic pistol also has the same performance as TT-33.

Is this gun good?

Good, very good.

But there is one drawback: the power is too fucking big.

Someone said, isn't it good for a weapon to have great power? Isn't designing and manufacturing weapons for lethality?

Wrong. Weapons are designed for application.

In some specific group application environments, high-power pistols are not needed; instead, great power causes trouble.

For example, in a police environment, there is no need for a pistol with too much power, because the police environment is mostly based on deterrence.

You want to talk about power, isn't it more scary to rush up with Type 56? Type 54 is gradually not satisfying the needs of all aspects.

There was no way before. The industrial production environment was like this, and it was impossible to design and produce a weapon for every industry. 【135

If you're talking about firepower, wouldn't carrying a Type 56 and rushing forward be even more intimidating? The Type 54 is gradually failing to meet overall needs.

There was no other way before; the industrial production environment was just like that, and one couldn't design and produce a specific weapon for every single industry.

Since there's something to use, don't be picky.

It's different now; the world has been at peace for a long time, and although there are minor irritations, it's hard for them to become a major disaster.

"The times have changed, and our thinking must also actively change."

When seeing Li Li Xuewu out, Li Li Zhengfeng reflected on the content he had spoken about at the meeting, and he couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

"Your vision has always been precise."

He looked at Li Li Xuewu and asked, "The future must be a police-use market; it will be very difficult to have further development in the military-use market, right?"

"No matter when, weapons will always pursue the R&D characteristics of high precision and high stability."

Li Li Xuewu did not answer his question directly but emphasized, "Upward compatibility is needed, and downward inclusiveness is also required."

"Take shotguns, for example; do you think they are more suitable for police or military use?" After asking Li Li Zhengfeng this, he walked to the car, stood steady, turned back, and said, "Strive for perfection and grasp the direction of development well."

"Just like you mentioned earlier, the mindset for thinking about problems must change, because the times have changed."

Li Li Xuewu opened the car door and pointed it out to his uncle, asking, "In the past, could you have imagined that a gas cylinder could also be used as a cannon?"

"If you hadn't mentioned this, I wouldn't have remembered!"

Li Li Zhengfeng said with a wry smile, "Ate sent a message asking if it's possible to fill the gas cylinders directly with natural gas."

"Is he out of his mind?"

Li Li Xuewu curled his lip and said, "We are selling gas cylinders, not natural gas; tell him to stop spouting nonsense."

It must have been some genius who discovered that the explosive power of natural gas is no less than that of filled explosives, which is why they asked this.

Heaven knows how many times the danger coefficient would increase for transporting a ship of gas cylinders versus a ship of natural gas.

Come to think of it, Ate is notoriously known for wanting money more than his life.

In the past two years, he has truly earned a lot of "life-risking" money; even Ji Wang Weidong, who is far away in Hong Kong, says he is a madman.

"Leader, you're busy."

Peng Peng Xiaoli knocked on the office door somewhat nervously, and his voice sounded a bit unconfident as he greeted him.

Li Li Xuewu recognized his voice, looked up, smiled lightly, and said, "Peng Xiaoli, come in."

He put down his fountain pen, waved his hand, and said, "How do you have time to come here today?"

"Leader, what you said makes me feel so sad."

Peng Peng Xiaoli said with a bitter smile, "If I were hovering in front of your eyes all day, wouldn't you say I'm neglecting my proper work?"

"How could that be? You've been doing quite well recently."

Li Li Xuewu pointed to the chair opposite him, signaling him to sit, and commented, "Even Manager Wang has been praising you."

"Manager Wang is just being considerate of my youth and saying nice things in front of you to give me an opportunity."

Peng Peng Xiaoli said this with a chuckle, though it was unclear if it was intentional or unintentional.

"Hehe, one only praises when things are done well."

Li Li Xuewu pretended not to notice, praised him with a light laugh, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Why are you here? It can't be that you came specifically to see me."

"Your eyes are like torches; I wouldn't dare to try and fool you here."

Peng Peng Xiaoli flattered him with every sentence, which showed he was nervous and also a bit insecure.

He looked at Li Li Xuewu's expression and, seeing it was still normal, knew that beating around the bush was useless, so he spoke up tentatively.

"Leader, I am here to request progress."

"Oh, is that so?" Li Li Xuewu seemed surprised, yet also understanding; he put down his teacup and nodded, saying, "Tell me about it."

"Actively seeking progress is a good thing; young people should always have some drive."

He sized up Peng Peng Xiaoli and said, "Furthermore, Manager Wang has also praised you many times, saying that your work is very solid."

"Thank you for your recognition, Leader." Peng Peng Xiaoli nodded and reported earnestly, "Since Manager Wang came to work in the Security Group, I have also been actively cooperating, and by now, I should have completed the phased tasks."

He looked at Li Li Xuewu and said, "I am deeply aware that my ability is average and my level is limited; in Manager Wang's upcoming work deployment, I cannot provide better help or performance."

"I am very grateful to have such a rare learning opportunity, and I request that the organization arrange for me to go down to continue training and practicing."

Peng Peng Xiaoli had also prepared early, so his report became smoother as he went on; the pressure mainly came from Li Li Xuewu.

As long as Li Li Xuewu didn't get angry, he could still speak completely.

Li Li Xuewu did not express his stance; he listened very earnestly to his reasons and requests regarding progress.

Logically speaking, Peng Peng Xiaoli belongs to the Security Department, and his progress should be studied and decided by the Security Department.

However, everyone knows he was once his secretary, and staying in the Security Department also had the connection of helping Wang Wang Xiaoqin implement her work.

Peng Peng Xiaoli explained it very clearly; he had already helped Wang Wang Xiaoqin as much as he could, and there was nothing left to contribute.

Now, requesting to be reassigned is something he can come and talk to him about.

After all, it was he who persuaded Peng Peng Xiaoli to stay in the Security Department in the first place, and helping Wang Wang Xiaoqin was also his wish.

Actually, he had been thinking about this problem recently; Wang Wang Xiaoqin had praised Peng Peng Xiaoli in front of him several times, which was enough to show that a small problem had arisen between the two.

Of course, Peng Peng Xiaoli is a subordinate and Wang Wang Xiaoqin is the leader; even if they have problems, they won't be major ones.

Peng Peng Xiaoli is, after all, Li Li Xuewu's former secretary and stayed behind voluntarily to help her.

Now Wang Wang Xiaoqin is also in a difficult position; not using Peng Peng Xiaoli makes her seem ungrateful, while using him forces her to face other pressures.

The Security Department actually doesn't have much affection for Peng Peng Xiaoli anymore; in the process of helping the leader integrate the Security Department, he inevitably had to encounter some resistance, and some people would complain that he was eating inside and out.

They didn't dare say this to Wang Wang Xiaoqin, but they said plenty about him, Peng Peng Xiaoli, so both of them felt the pressure.

The best result is for Peng Peng Xiaoli to leave voluntarily, letting Wang Wang Xiaoqin continue to be the "good person."

Now that Peng Peng Xiaoli has come to find him voluntarily, it shows that this kid also can't hold on anymore.

It's very normal; young people act decisively, especially when taking on heavy responsibilities, and it's inevitable that they will show an active side.

Come to think of it, not handling the relationships between comrades well, especially between old colleagues, is Peng Peng Xiaoli's immaturity.

If this matter had really been handed to Yu Yu Decai to handle, he definitely wouldn't be as miserable as he is now.

You can offend people, but you can't offend everyone.

He spoke very frankly and straightforwardly, which really couldn't hide his sadness and added a bit more wretchedness.

Li Li Xuewu cannot watch a cadre he cultivated with his own hands become disheartened and lose confidence in his work.

Therefore, while Peng Peng Xiaoli was speaking, he had been listening earnestly.

"Leader..." Peng Peng Xiaoli finished speaking, looked at him in a difficult position, and his words trailed off.

"Hmm, I know about your situation and thoughts."

Li Li Xuewu nodded, looked at him, and asked, "Have you thought about where you want to go to train and practice?"

"If I stay in the agency, there's no need."

"I want to go to the grassroots, to the front line."

Peng Peng Xiaoli's answer was very crisp, showing that he already had his thoughts.

He looked at Li Li Xuewu with a firm gaze and said, "I know this time I made a mistake myself, but I should get up where I fell; I need to go to the grassroots to learn this kind of ability and perseverance."

Seeing Li Li Xuewu nod without speaking, he also knew that the leader was waiting for his definite answer.

"Secretary-General, I heard that the Food General Company recently..."

Peng Peng Xiaoli hesitated for a moment and continued, "I don't have the ability or ideas for food R&D."

"But I can try sales and management; after all, I've been influenced by you for so long."

"The sales work of the Food General Company is the responsibility of the Sales General Company; what can you do if you go there?"

Li Li Xuewu glanced at him, picked up his teacup, and said, "Go into management? What position, the Production Section?"

He took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said, "Or maybe the Personnel Section or the General Section?"

"You're not good at the Organization Section or the Propaganda Section, and you're even worse at the Finance Section; think clearly about where you want to go before telling me."

When he came, Peng Peng Xiaoli was very certain that he would go to the Sales Section or the General Section.

After Li Li Xuewu said this, the choices seemed to increase, and his heart became chaotic again.

However, for just a moment, his mind became sensitive again; having followed Li Li Xuewu for so long, how could he not know the leader's thoughts?

This wasn't giving him more choices at all; it was clearly a test for him.

All that talk about the Personnel Section or the General Section was just bait thrown out by the leader; if he hesitated too much, he would have taken the hook.

Since he requested to be voluntarily sent down for training, if he didn't have a clear goal and just blindly asked for opportunities, then he would be finished.

His impression points in front of the leader would be gone, and even if he went down, he would never be able to come back up.

They say you should keep your guard up when talking to the Secretary-General, or you might fall into a pit and die without even knowing how.

He had almost not been careful; he hadn't worked with the Secretary-General for over half a year, and he was a bit unaccustomed to it.

"Leader, I resolutely obey the organization's arrangements."

Peng Peng Xiaoli didn't hesitate much and said firmly, "I am confident I can do management work and sales work; if there is no sales position, then I will do management work."

"That's too general; what management position?" Li Li Xuewu was still testing his former secretary and said with slight impatience, "You should think it through before coming back."

"Leader, a management position is a management position."

Peng Peng Xiaoli was a bit anxious inside, but he tried hard to stabilize his emotions and fought for it, saying, "I heard that the Food General Company is doing research and testing on tea drinks; can I join this project team?"

"What are you going to do in the project team?" Li Li Xuewu asked, as if deliberately making things difficult for him, "You don't understand R&D; are you going there to drink tea?"

"Alright, just go to the Beverage Factory."

Before Peng Peng Xiaoli could say anything else, Li Li Xuewu seemed to lack patience, waved his hand casually, and said, "Go to the Production Section."

"Thank you, Leader; I will work hard."

Peng Peng Xiaoli was such a smart person; how could he not understand the deep meaning and implication of these words? He stood up excitedly and thanked him.

"Don't grin from ear to ear—"

Li Li Xuewu pointed at him with amusement and reminded him, "Management is management, and production management is production management; get it straight before you start the job, don't embarrass me."

"Yes, I'll remember that."

Before leaving, Peng Peng Xiaoli bowed to Li Li Xuewu, and only then did he leave with a smile.

Deliberately making things difficult? No, it was the leader's care.

Sun Sun Wukong took a few hits from Patriarch Bodhi before finishing his apprenticeship; could he, Peng Peng Xiaoli, not handle a few reprimands?

Finally, he got his wish: Deputy Li Kezhang of the Production Section at the Wufeng Beverage Factory.

Why is it a "deputy" position?

Of course it's a deputy position; the leader didn't say it, but Peng Peng Xiaoli didn't need to ask—he had known it in his heart for a long time.

Then why is he still satisfied?

Of course he has to be satisfied, because he is currently a deputy, and a deputy section chief in the agency at that; going to a production unit is considered a gain.

There is a hidden line between administrative affairs and business operations; it's not like you can just say you want to transfer from administrative affairs to business operations and go.

Can you let a deputy section chief of the Propaganda Section go to the Production Section to be a section chief? That wouldn't work; they aren't in the same system at all.

Then why could Peng Peng Xiaoli go and be a deputy section chief?

Because he is young, has strong plasticity, and has management experience; as long as he isn't responsible for comprehensive work, he has time and opportunity to learn.

Never underestimate the Production Section; in any factory, the Production Section is the number one section, with the highest personnel and configuration.

The Red Star Wufeng Beverage Factory has 44% of its shares owned by Wufeng Hong, making it a joint-venture enterprise.

The most popular product is Five-Star Moutai, the kind that never worries about selling; it also has a very good market in Hong Kong.

Recently, they have been developing Yuquan Mountain mineral water, Yuezhou tea drinks, and various flavors of soda.

Peng Peng Xiaoli wanted to go to the Food General Company, so he naturally did research on the related enterprises.

Seeing that Moutai liquor was selling very well, Wufeng Hong had the intention to introduce beer brewing technology and prepare to build the Wufeng Beer Factory.

Of course, Wufeng Hong didn't have much industrial production power in the mainland, so the first thing they thought of was a joint venture.

That Li Li Xuewu could agree to arrange for him to train at the Wufeng Beverage Factory already showed that he valued him highly and intended to cultivate him.

If he really grinds his way up from the production front line, with Li Li Xuewu's support, he will go further and more steadily.

Because most of the cadres Li Li Xuewu brought up were in administrative positions, with very few in production and business positions, he has more opportunities to stand out.

"What are you grinning about? You look like you've eaten two pounds of honeyed excrement."

Gu Cheng was like a lingering ghost, always able to come out and give Peng Peng Xiaoli a blow when he was sad or happy.

Very obviously, the smile on Peng Peng Xiaoli's face disappeared; for the mockery of his "good buddy," even if he was immune to it, he still felt annoyed.

"Why aren't you serving the leader?"

Peng Peng Xiaoli glanced at him, signaled for them to walk together downstairs, and muttered, "I'm afraid he sent you away to do something bad."

"Don't talk nonsense; Deputy Director Su is a gentleman!"

You might not find anything wrong with this sentence, but looking at Gu Cheng's expression, it didn't look like a compliment at all.

Peng Peng Xiaoli was very familiar with this tone and expression; he was an old master of sarcasm, and they used to be like this in the office all the time.

"How about it? Did the Secretary-General agree to you?"

Gu Cheng was very concerned about his work, it's just that he wouldn't say nice things nicely; both of them had this kind of character.

Peng Peng Xiaoli curled his lip and said without showing any pride, "It's not even a sure thing yet; I'll tell you when there's news."

"Hehe—" Gu Cheng laughed, "You really are good at kicking the ladder away after climbing up; I was the one who helped you plan this."

"Save it, keep your thoughts for yourself."

Peng Peng Xiaoli was actually also concerned about Gu Cheng's work; he raised his eyebrows to look upstairs and reminded him softly, "How much longer can your secretary position last? Are you going to be moved down after the New Year?"

"You don't say, Deputy Director Su really likes me."

Gu Cheng also curled his lip and said sarcastically, "He even asked me today if I have any connections in the city."
