Chapter 1396: Planning before acting

On February 21st, Mr. Zhou announced: Our country's domestic public debt has been fully repaid, and our country has become a powerful, independent socialist country in the world without internal or external debt.

On February 22nd, Li Huai De announced at the eighth working meeting of the group's management committee that the Red Star Steel Group had officially launched the specific implementation plan for the "Three-Year Plan" assault stage...

Li Xuewu's return from Liaodong was nominally a vacation, but as a group leader, where would he have a proper vacation?

Important meetings to attend, important leaders to meet, important business to dock.

Zhang Enyuan hadn't been able to catch up with him these past few days; every time he saw him, he would be arranged to run a bunch of affairs.

Not only did he have to have Zhang Enyuan, this secretary, run for him, but he himself wasn't idle either; saying he ran his legs off wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Even if he was this busy, he still had to find time to take his wife and children to visit relatives and pay New Year's calls, with no day and no night.

Fortunately, he only returned to the capital for a five-day vacation; if he had really taken a ten-day or half-month vacation, wouldn't he have been exhausted to death in the capital?

These five days of vacation still had to include the departure and return journeys, otherwise, he wouldn't have been this busy.

Just like what he said to Gu Ning, having just gone to Liaodong to work, he had to sort out the things in his hands.

The responsibility of being a leader in charge is light, but the business is heavy; the responsibility of being the main person-in-charge is heavy, but the business is light.

Various pros and cons, it all depends on oneself.

Anyway, serving as Secretary-General in the group counts as a leader in charge, but one doesn't see Li Xuewu worrying or being troubled.

Now that he is concurrently serving as Secretary-General, it is just an identity, and the Secretary-General's main work has been handed over to Bu Qingfang, unless it is important work that requires assuming main responsibility.

Bu Qingfang has deep qualifications, strong ability, acts cautiously, has a correct style, and most importantly, has a clear head and self-knowledge. She knows very well the significance of the group's leaders and Li Xuewu, this Secretary-General, choosing her to serve as Deputy Secretary-General; she won't think about those things that shouldn't be thought about and find trouble for herself.

This wasn't it; as soon as Li Xuewu came out of the conference room, she greeted him from the big office side.

Li Xuewu was talking to Li Huai De about something, and seeing her come over, he nodded, then asked Li Huai De for instructions.

Li Huai De looked at Bu Qingfang with a smile and said to Li Xuewu: "Comrade Qingfang has been very hard-working recently; you have to find time to reward her; it's really not easy."

"Oh my, someone finally said a fair word for me; Director, you are still righteous—"

Seeing him joking, Bu Qingfang also gave him a thumbs up with a smile, and signaled to Li Xuewu, laughing: "I'm looking for the Secretary-General for this."

"Hahaha—"

Li Huai De laughed, raised his hand and patted Li Xuewu's arm, then went toward the office.

Bu Qingfang stood to one side, waiting for the group's class members who came out of the conference room to leave, before looking at Li Xuewu.

"Let's go, let's talk in your office."

Li Xuewu also greeted the group's class members who came out of the conference room one by one before greeting her.

Saying let's talk in the office, in reality, his office in the group had already been given to Bu Qingfang to use, it was just that the sign of the Secretary-General's office at the door had been changed, with a "Deputy" character added in front.

And Bu Qingfang originally worked in the office of the Director of the Management Committee, but now it had also been handed over to the two Deputy Managers.

Li Xuewu hadn't worked in the group for a long time, the group's office space pressure was high, and the group's office building was already under construction and could be moved into next year, so this office was useless empty, so it was better to give it to Bu Qingfang to use.

Actually, giving this office to Bu Qingfang didn't count as a violation of regulations; the space really wasn't very big.

When it comes to being a person, who can compare to Li Xuewu? When it comes to having many heart-eyes, who can compare to the Secretary-General?

As long as Bu Qingfang sits in this office for one day, it defaults to Li Xuewu's influence and leadership.

As long as Li Xuewu is in the position of Secretary-General for one day, there is no possibility of Bu Qingfang "deteriorating."

With this generosity and benevolence, even if Bu Qingfang has more heart-eyes, she won't treat Li Xuewu badly; this is called an open plot.

Conversely, Bu Qingfang also defaulted to this kind of care and arrangement, and moved into this office without saying anything.

Not only that, even Li Xuewu's former secretary Wang Lu was continued to be used; nominally, she didn't have a secretary configuration, but she was appointed as Bu Qingfang's clerk; could the section be difficult?

The personnel relationship of the Comprehensive Management Department had changed; after the original Deputy Manager of the Comprehensive Management Department, Liang Zuodong, was dealt with, the Director of the General Manager's Office, Sun Jian, advanced one step to take this position, and at the same time, Sun Jian also concurrently served as the Director of the General Manager's Office, looking like Director Li was being reused.

Li Xuewu didn't participate in this personnel arrangement from recommendation to appointment; it was a decision made by Bu Qingfang.

Regarding the other Deputy Director of the Comprehensive Management Department, Bai Changshan, neither Li Huai De nor anyone else had any special thoughts, because this person was from the Municipal Industrial Bureau.

In order to prepare and build the New Beijing No. 1 Factory, the Red Star Plant had an agreement with the Beijing Municipal Industrial Bureau to help the New Beijing No. 1 Factory train a batch of qualified management cadres within two years.

This wasn't one or two people, but a complete set of management personnel systems from top to bottom. They were to undertake the construction of the New Beijing No. 1 Factory, the relocation and installation of equipment, and the organizational system for production management and operation.

When the day of "splitting the family" really came, the Beijing Industrial Bureau only needed to arrange personnel in some important positions to take over, and they could easily support the production and operation work of the New Beijing No. 1 Factory.

Bai Changshan was this type of cadre, who had long been labeled within the group and basically wouldn't be transferred again.

These cadres mainly came from the sixteen enterprises merged by the group, and together with them were the grassroots management and production workers from various workshops and departments of the original Rolling Mill who had long been listed on the roster.

From reaching this agreement and completing the merger procedures for the sixteen enterprises, the Red Star Rolling Mill expanded by more than two times.

On one hand, it was to cope with the group's top-down personnel reform work, expand production capacity, and cope with personnel assessment and adjustment.

On the other hand, it was a supplement to the New Beijing No. 1 Factory's employee training plan.

According to the existing employee recruitment plan of the Steel City Rolling Mill, it couldn't afford so many original Rolling Mill employees; more than 30,000 people, nearly 40,000 people, could only use more than 7,000.

That is to say, two years ago, the Rolling Mill's personnel expanded by more than two times to urgently need strength and expand production capacity. But next year, it has to compress nearly one-third to improve quality.

In the process of compression, it is not only to improve product quality and worker quality, but also production efficiency and management quality, taking a solid step toward a modern factory.

Workers can be transferred, but not laid off.

At the eighth office meeting of the group's management committee that just ended, Li Huai De specifically mentioned this year's personnel work, which is to do a good job in personnel placement and transfer work.

In the detailed rules of the specific implementation plan for the "Three-Year Plan" assault stage, clear arrangements were made for personnel placement.

Now, the Rolling Mill has nearly 40,000 employees, and only 7,000 are transferred to the Steel City Rolling Mill, while the New Beijing No. 1 Factory, after more than two years of construction and planning, is expected to receive 20,000 employees and divert 3,000 local Beijing employees.

That is to say, after completing a series of human resource integration work, there is still a gap of nearly 10,000 employees.

For these 10,000 people, the group must adopt methods such as autonomous selection and reasonable adjustment to place them in various branch plants.

In the process of adjustment, there will be items such as assessment; those who are qualified will be on the post, and those who are unqualified will be waiting for the post.

Another important work for Li Xuewu's return to the capital is to dock with relevant responsible leaders.

On one hand, it is the transfer and placement work of the 7,000 employees received by the Steel City Rolling Mill; after all, this time the migration is not just a matter of 7,000 employees, there are always those who bring their families, and one negligence could chill the workers' hearts.

On the other hand, it is for other industrial enterprises of the group in Liaodong to do a good job in personnel adjustment and placement work.

The nearly 10,000 workers consumed by the Red Star Rolling Mill must be refined and dispersed to every enterprise and unit.

And as an important industrial production base of the group, the Liaodong Industrial Leadership Group, which masters the vast majority of industrial enterprises, naturally became the heavy responsibility of receiving these adjusted workers.

Li Xuewu came to the office with Bu Qingfang, holding notebooks and document materials, docking and discussing item by item.

No way, he can't run between the capital and Liaodong, these works must have someone to help him connect in the capital.

It's not that it's impossible to use others, especially since many of these works are not within Bu Qingfang's scope of duties.

But with his personality of not leaving handles for others, how could he let other leaders in charge get involved in his Liaodong?

Therefore, Bu Qingfang, who seems to have done a lot of work, will complain in front of Li Huai De, but in reality, she is willing to help Li Xuewu and willing to do these trivial works.

Why?

Because people have different aspirations; she doesn't want to be stuck in the position of Deputy Secretary-General for a lifetime; she will have to come into contact with these businesses sooner or later, so it's better to exercise herself at this time and also owe a favor from Li Xuewu.

Being able to let Li Xuewu owe a favor, I don't know how many people are fighting for it; even if you go to exchange it with real gold and silver, you can't exchange it; jokes are jokes, but she won't complain or shirk.

In the office, every time Li Xuewu explained a task clearly, Bu Qingfang would make a record, and call Wang Lu to arrange for special personnel to handle it, one thing at a time, clear at once, and handle it to the end.

So the scene that can be seen in the third-floor hallway is the Secretary-General sitting in the office planning strategies, the Deputy Secretary-General deploying troops in the middle, and Wang Lu running back and forth.

When the two in the office had docked the work almost, they were both tired, their throats itchy and smoking, and their bodies and minds exhausted.

"If it comes once every month, then I won't have all my hair turn white in two years."

This time Bu Qingfang wasn't faking it; she really had feelings in her heart and was quite straightforward with Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu also smiled bitterly while holding his teacup, looked at her and said: "If you have gray hair early, then wouldn't I have to be exhausted and die for the cause?"

"Don't—" Bu Qingfang said amusedly: "Chairman Mao said, the body is the capital of revolution."

"Hey, it's still a lack of manpower, laboring the heart and laboring the strength."

Li Xuewu took a sip of warm tea, put down the teacup, and sighed, then as if remembering something, looked at Bu Qingfang and said: "You actually reminded me."

"Don't tell me you forgot something, is there still work?"

Bu Qingfang said with a bitter smile: "I'm fine, I'm afraid Wang Lu is going to be tired to tears."

"Hehe—" Li Xuewu chuckled and said: "You can still use such a lazy girl."

"You can use her, why can't I?" Bu Qingfang rolled her eyes at him, not caring about his humility and protection; who doesn't know the relative relationship between Wang Lu and Li Xuewu?

Besides, even if you don't look at Li Xuewu's face, you have to look at the group's Chief Engineer Xia Zhongquan's face.

Li Xuewu can say Wang Lu is a lazy girl, and can treat Wang Lu as a child, but who in the group's headquarters can ignore Wang Lu's background relationship?

Even the office was given to her; Bu Qingfang didn't mind borrowing the fox's power to intimidate the tiger, pulling Li Xuewu's tiger skin as a big flag.

Li Xuewu didn't care about this point; it was a situation that was beneficial to both; because Li Xuewu also needed someone to wave the flag and shout for him in the group to maintain his past authority and influence.

She needed Li Xuewu's influence to lay the foundation for her current work and next step arrangements.

Bu Qingfang had long thought about it; she could be Li Xuewu's deputy, plot a position as Deputy Secretary-General, work hard, and why couldn't she follow Li Xuewu to plot a position in Liaodong?

Li Xuewu wants to show his skills in Liaodong, but he can't let go of the group's cake; he is now taking care of both inside and outside, and his strength is not enough, so he needs someone to help him maintain left and right.

But such a situation cannot last long; he will return sooner or later; to whom will Liaodong need to take over then?

She is in the capital, not as close to the water as those cadres in Liaodong, but she also has her advantages.

At least the group's relationship network has enough time to weave during Li Xuewu's term. During this period, she has to actively cooperate with Li Xuewu's work in the capital.

Only by making contributions can she eat the cake.

Li Xuewu returns to the capital, Liaodong must have someone to take over; even if she can't plot the position of the Liaodong Industrial Leadership Group Leader, she can plot a unit of the Deputy Bureau level with the posture of being sent down; she thinks Yingcheng Shipbuilding is very good.

Of course, she didn't think about the position of the Liaodong Industrial Leadership Group Leader, just had self-knowledge.

Although this era emphasizes that women can hold up half the sky, there are almost no female comrades carrying the flag in important positions.

So she had some guesses; in the three-year period, if Xu Sian considers Li Xuewu actively and gets enough results during his term, he has the opportunity to carry this big flag.

After all, in terms of qualifications, Xu Sian is not worse than her, and his local work experience is even stronger than hers.

Since she can't plot the position of Liaodong Industrial No. 1, then be practical and aim for Yingcheng Shipbuilding after promotion.

It's just that Li Xuewu doesn't look favorably on her going to Yingcheng Shipbuilding; he is very clear about how difficult Xu Sian has been these years.

Some people want to ask what is so difficult for Old Xu in Yingcheng; he has the wind when he wants the wind, and the rain when he wants the rain.

Those who have really been the main person-in-charge of acquiring enterprises and merging enterprises are very clear about the ways in this. Not to mention the coming and going of various mountain heads and relationships, he is the person-in-charge who has to be both the referee and play the game, which is quite difficult.

That is to say, the group's investment and management strength in Yingcheng Shipbuilding has always been very strong, constantly arranging technical forces and management forces, as well as diluting the original personnel structure with workers.

Even so, according to Xu Sian's reaction, the small circles within Yingcheng Shipbuilding are not few. He has consumed a lot of energy in internal coordination these years.

Li Xuewu doesn't dare to say that he can do better than Xu Sian in this position; both of them have reached this step and are very clear that the distance from the ground is too high, so they can't be hard; saying that using softness to overcome hardness seems like a child's play, but it is also a fact.

You have to coax, you have to hit, and you have to play.

Li Xuewu had to implement a policy of tenderness when going to Liaodong, let alone Xu Sian, who was so busy that he almost caught fire in the backyard.

Xu Sian, a person who is so refined, was tortured until he was in a hurry; Bu Qingfang had no grassroots management experience, so how could she clear up the doorway here? Anyway, he didn't approve.

From Bu Qingfang's attitude of caring about Yingcheng Shipbuilding, he could guess something, but didn't give an answer.

They are all adults; no answer is actually a kind of answer; Li Xuewu's attitude was very obvious.

"Let's talk about my business first." Li Xuewu crossed his right leg, leaned slightly on the sofa armrest, and said: "The situation in Liaodong is more complicated; I need help."

"What kind of help?" Bu Qingfang raised her eyelids and asked: "Transfer people from the Comprehensive Management Department?"

"It's not that I lack a secretary." Li Xuewu waved his hand and said earnestly: "It's that I lack people who want to do things, can do things, and dare to do things; people who have experience in a certain field."

"Oh, you want some college students?"

Bu Qingfang understood; didn't Li Xuewu's words mean he needed some young people to break the ice?

Want to do things, can do things, dare to do things; these three points look like college students who have just graduated and participated in work for not long, haven't destroyed the ideals and beliefs in their hearts for their careers, and haven't completely consumed the enthusiasm and impulse of young people...

Can't say any more, otherwise some people will cry.

To put it bluntly, Li Xuewu encountered some deep-rooted problems in Liaodong and needed someone to help him charge into the battle.

These young people have energy, principles, and drive; they dare to do anything, and they are afraid of no one; what good cattle and horses.

Li Xuewu is even less afraid of these people causing trouble for him; as long as he stands behind holding the reins and the whip, the carriage of the Liaodong Industrial Leadership Group can truly run.

Of course, for these young people, going to Liaodong for training is not a loss; being able to be trained under Li Xuewu's hands, the road in their career is considered wide.

For Li Xuewu, the process of industrial management is actually the promotion and deepening of personnel reform.

It seems that Li Xuewu's first fire in Liaodong is ready to be burned; it's just that I don't know who is going to be unlucky.

Anyway, the young people Li Xuewu wants will gradually intervene in all aspects of Liaodong's work, and then use a certain fulcrum to pry the entire Liaodong management system.

By then, these young people will also gradually integrate into Liaodong's industrial management system and become the key.

To put it more bluntly, Li Xuewu wants to use young people who are blank sheets of paper to replace the stubborn old people who don't listen.

In Bu Qingfang's view, he is going to form his own imperial guards, and it is also to lay the foundation for going further in the future.

She could think of going to Yingcheng Shipbuilding; didn't Li Xuewu think about what to do after returning to the group?

How could that be? Anyone who knows the Secretary-General knows that the Secretary-General never takes one step without planning ten steps.

How many pre-plan documents are in his office safe is enough to explain all this.

The Secretary-General wants to use people, and it is the layout of Liaodong, which is another system following the cultivation of those cadres in the Security Department.

In the future, Li Xuewu will return to the capital, and he will have at least three parties: the Security Department system, the Secretary system, and the Liaodong system.

Whether other systems of cadres will lean toward him in this process is unclear; perhaps only when he serves as the group's No. 1 can it be seen clearly.

See clearly what? See clearly who is his own person.

"College students can be used, and those with special talents can also be used." Li Xuewu thought for a while and said: "Now I need people who are familiar with foreign trade, industrial management, engineering technology, electromechanical technology, etc."

He sat up straight, nodded, and said: "If you can find a few college students who have been practicing for about two years, it's best; temporarily one for each field, take it slow."

"You want it fast, but I can't do it—" Bu Qingfang said with a bitter smile: "You are really making it difficult for me; this is a job that offends people."

College students who have been practicing for about two years, in which department are they not protected and raised like treasures?

Li Xuewu is good; he even wants one for each field temporarily; this is really having the meaning of forming his own team.

Thinking about it, it's normal; before in the headquarters, under Director Li's nose, he couldn't be too wanton after all.

But now it's different; Li Xuewu has work needs in this aspect, so he can openly foster his team.

In this process, his influence will spread to the entire Liaodong management system and gradually become deep-rooted.

Doesn't Li Huai De know? He is very clear, but he is powerless; this is the game of power.

Li Huai De is the main person-in-charge of the group, but his influence cannot completely penetrate every corner of the group, and the above also doesn't allow this situation to appear.

So following the rules of the game, he must give up a part of the power and give the people below room to display.

Li Xuewu grasped Li Huai De's psychological bottom line very well, which is why he dared to explain such planning to her so straightforwardly.

Bu Qingfang had no objection to this task, because Li Xuewu trusted her so much, which was also an opportunity for her.

Speaking of which, being able to work in the office of the Liaodong Industrial Leadership Group is actually a good job.

In such a big environment as the group, how much time and achievement does it take to get ahead, but it's different when you go to Liaodong.

These years, it is said that college students are lacking, but it also depends on the relative situation. Hundreds are introduced every year, dispersed to various units, isn't that lacking talent? But if you look at it comprehensively?

Early advancement and late advancement for young people are two different things; there are plenty of opportunities and plenty of positions in Liaodong.

Li Xuewu wants those who have been practicing for about two years, which is to have a certain understanding of work, master certain work experience, and have certain career planning and work beliefs.

Don't want new college students, because they are too idealistic and too reckless, not knowing how to cherish opportunities.

Screening according to Li Xuewu's requirements and calling suitable people over for talks one by one, it is almost impossible to be rejected.

Although doing this offends people, is Bu Qingfang afraid of this? Complaining to Li Xuewu is to invite credit, but as long as she takes this task, she is not afraid of those leaders showing their teeth.

Can a fiercer dog be compared to a smiling tiger?

Li Xuewu told her a few more requirements, and seeing that she understood, he nodded and said: "Let's talk about your business."

He said so straightforwardly: "Yingcheng Port Area will definitely be a key project of the group in the future; there are still more than two years before completion, so you can prepare in this aspect."

"Yingcheng Port Area?" Bu Qingfang really didn't expect it, and her surprised expression wasn't fake, "Isn't Director Xu..."

"He can't, I talked to him."

Li Xuewu picked up his teacup and glanced at her, saying lightly: "Yingcheng Shipbuilding is also very important in the future; he can't be busy alone and won't take on this mess anymore."

"That's also—" Bu Qingfang frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but held back and didn't say it.

Li Xuewu understood, just lowered his eyebrows and drank tea, didn't pick up her words, but said: "I'm just giving you a suggestion; how to develop still depends on yourself."

"I naturally need your suggestion."

Bu Qingfang looked at him and said earnestly: "I don't know the leader's arrangement for Yingcheng Port Area."

"You don't need to know so clearly; you just need to know that Director Li attaches great importance to Yingcheng Port Area."

Li Xuewu put down the teacup and emphasized to her: "Not only Director Li, but the entire group attaches great importance to this key outlet for foreign trade."

"Yes, I understand—" Bu Qingfang's frowned eyebrows still didn't loosen, and her answer was a bit hesitant.

Li Xuewu pursed his lips; seeing her so stubborn, he thought for a while and still reminded her patiently: "The entire industrial system of the group in Liaodong is to be integrated in the future."

"Ah? Yes—" Bu Qingfang opened her eyes wide and asked: "Is the Liaodong Industrial Leadership Group going to—"

"This is the direction I am striving for."

Li Xuewu's mouth curled slightly, saying: "The Red Star Plant is to be promoted to the Red Star Steel Group; various branch agencies will have to reshuffle sooner or later; you only have this one opportunity."

"I can tell you clearly that no matter how Liaodong's industrial system is integrated, Yingcheng Port Area will be under the direct jurisdiction of the group; this point is absolute."

"Understood—" Only now did Bu Qingfang truly understand, and her gaze became much clearer.

Looking at it this way, Li Xuewu letting her prepare to go to Yingcheng Port Area was actually the best choice.

Directly under the group, it is also the group's key outlet for foreign trade, and it is also a key node guarding the operation of the entire Liaodong industrial system, so it won't be weak in rank.

It is to consider aligning with other port management agencies; the group absolutely doesn't have any flashy operations that would lose its own prestige.

Even if it is empty, it will align the rank of the main person-in-charge of the port area with peers, so that it is easy to talk about work.

Another thing, a new unit also has the benefits of a new unit; she goes down from the position of Deputy Secretary-General of the group, and also brings certain innate advantages; this is absolutely a proper good thing.

"Still the same sentence, I listen to you."

Bu Qingfang said this very firmly; whether there were other meanings in the words is unknown.

This trust in work is the relationship of "you understand, I understand"; some words are not effective once said.

"Fine, then that's it, you go busy with yours first." Li Xuewu stood up, smiled and said: "I'm going to see Deputy Director Dong; you've worked hard for these works just now."

"What hard or not hard; it's called worth it to be able to help you."

Bu Qingfang's words were very beautiful; she smiled and sent him out the door, and even said: "As long as you don't forget this favor of mine, otherwise I can only go to Director Li to reason."

"Hehe—" Li Xuewu chuckled and looked back at her, saying: "Does Director Li reason?"

According to the itinerary arrangement, Li Xuewu was to see Dong Wenxue; he hadn't visited his home these past few days.

Very simple, at this time the identities of both were a bit sensitive, unless it was a necessary occasion, otherwise try not to meet, so as not to leave any handles for others.

But meeting in the office was fine; it was a proper work relationship, and it could be explained anywhere.

Meeting Dong Wenxue, Li Xuewu was also prepared; it was about his research report in Liaodong.

One of the copies had been presented to Li Huai De, but Old Li was still looking at it and hadn't given him a reply.

Seeing that Dong Wenxue was also related to this research report, after all, it was a summary of Dong Wenxue's work

No matter how much Dong Wenxue supported his work, it was impossible to avoid the entanglements of human hearts; after all, things are done by people.

If Li Xuewu wanted to get things done, he would inevitably have to negate some of his policies and work. Would he be unhappy?

"Your ability and vision have always been trusted by Director Li and me." Dong Wenxue flipped through the report in his hands seriously, nodded slightly, and said, "No one is perfect, and I am not a perfectionist, nor am I one to nitpick."

He raised his head, glanced at Li Xuewu sitting opposite him, and said, "You don't need to worry about my feelings. I had psychological preparations for this aspect from the day I left Liaodong."

Seeing Li Xuewu about to speak, he waved his hand again and said, "The student surpasses the master. I am very happy that you can pick out my flaws and correct and repair them."

Dong Wenxue smiled and said, "I never thought, nor do I believe, that you would follow the old rules."

"Actually, I would prefer to have less to worry about." Li Xuewu smiled and said quite frankly, "It's just that my heart doesn't allow it."

"Of course I understand you." Dong Wenxue first put down the report in his hands, then crossed his hands in front of his lower abdomen and said, "Young people always think about making achievements and realizing their ambitions. This is a good thing. You can't wait until you're seventy or eighty to think about struggling and starting a business; that would be too absurd."

"Let me tell you, you should listen more to that sentence from Director Li." He nodded slowly and said, "Put down the burden, show your skills, and let go to work. We all support you."

As Li Xuewu's teacher, he naturally had this intention, but Li Xuewu could not trust Li Huai De.

At least he couldn't trust Li Huai De the way he trusted Dong Wenxue. Don't look at how Dong Wenxue said it; in fact, did he not know what Li Xuewu was thinking? He knew it very clearly.

He said this to ease the relationship between Li Xuewu and Li Huai De, which was also one of Li Huai De's purposes in transferring him back to the capital, and it was even more of his own subjective wish.

Don't believe that conversations in the office can't reach Li Huai De's ears; there are no walls without cracks in this world.

Wasn't Li Xuewu's trip back to the capital for this research report, to gain the support of the group, so he could go back to Liaodong and show his skills? Dong Wenxue knew this very well.

But the reality was that it was unrealistic for Li Xuewu to get everyone's support.

But Li Xuewu was also striving for it; as long as Li Huai De could nod, plus the few leaders he could confirm.

This was also practicing his influence in the group and testing his actual influence after leaving the group's center.

The first person to see was Li Huai De, the second was Dong Wenxue, and the next was Cheng Kaiyuan.

Why? Because Cheng Kaiyuan was the leader in charge of the group's industrial work and the decision-maker for all the group's industrial enterprises. Li Xuewu was now also his subordinate.

Li Xuewu also held the position of Director of the Steel Mill Management Committee, so he naturally had to be counted as his subordinate.

However, Li Xuewu was also the Secretary-General of the group and the person in charge of the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group, so the relationship between the two was very subtle.

The subtlety was not in the Secretary-General, but in the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group, which was the temporary management organization standing between Cheng Kaiyuan and the group's main industrial enterprises.

From Cheng Kaiyuan's perspective, it would naturally be better to eliminate this temporary management organization so that his management will could be directly implemented and penetrate into various units.

But the actual situation did not allow it, because of geographical distance, the different completeness of industrial enterprises, and other reasons, Cheng Kaiyuan had to give up this opinion.

Just think, the Steel City Rolling Mill hadn't finished construction yet, the Yingcheng Shipyard was still expanding, and the Steel City Mechanical Parts Manufacturing Plant was still integrating resources from Fengcheng and Steel City...

With such a big mess, without this temporary management organization, Cheng Kaiyuan would have to go to Liaodong to sit in command himself.

But with Cheng Kaiyuan's current status, would he be willing?

Of course not. Li Xuewu going to Liaodong was progress, and Dong Wenxue coming out of Liaodong was also progress. For Cheng Kaiyuan to go to Liaodong would be a regression, an exile.

So Cheng Kaiyuan was in an awkward position. He couldn't go to Liaodong to sit in command for a long time, so he could only watch Li Xuewu concurrently hold the position of Head of the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group, taking away a large chunk of his power and isolating his will and influence.

So could he target Li Xuewu?

Of course not. The two were now both superiors and subordinates, as well as partners. Some things had to be discussed.

If Li Xuewu respected him, his work in the group would be easier to do, and his decisions could be implemented.

Once Li Xuewu refused to cooperate, he would really become a figurehead and could only manage the industrial enterprises in the capital.

Didn't Old Li arrange for Li Xuewu to go to Liaodong to divide his responsibilities and power?

If you really calculate it, as the person in charge of industrial work, he could still be responsible for related work after making a mistake, so this Liaodong Industrial Management Group was a punishment for him.

Knowing Li Huai De's intention, he wasn't as targeted toward Li Xuewu, especially regarding Li Xuewu's attitude.

After Li Xuewu knocked on the door and entered the room, the conversation between the two remained in a relatively relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Cheng Kaiyuan was prepared, and Li Xuewu was open and natural; it really had the feeling of a gentleman's friendship being as light as water.

Furthermore, he had also voted in favor of Li Xuewu going to Liaodong, so the relationship between the two was naturally very harmonious.

But if you say how good their relationship was, it wasn't quite there, because the group's leadership team was now like a pile of loose sand.

If it really followed the wishes from above, after Li Xuewu went to Liaodong and Dong Wenxue returned to the capital, the leadership team presented a multi-lateral and multi-dimensional organizational ecological model.

No one could say who was absolutely close to whom, and it was even less clear who was absolutely distant from whom.

Even the relationship between Li Xuewu and Jing Yunong became blurred because of that vote at the meeting.

Therefore, during the process of meeting Cheng Kaiyuan, Li Xuewu talked about the overall industrial situation of the group in Liaodong based on the research report in his hand, mentioned some problems, and stated some plans.

Cheng Kaiyuan naturally understood his meaning. After carefully listening to his report, he really raised several questions.

They covered all aspects, which showed that he had also put in the effort and was not ignorant of Liaodong's industry.

This is called give-and-take, mutual compromise.

Overall, Li Xuewu was satisfied with the conversation with Cheng Kaiyuan, and Cheng Kaiyuan was also very satisfied with his research and subsequent work ideas. That was enough.

For the third stop, Li Xuewu unexpectedly chose Gao Yaqin instead of the more critical Gu Weijie.

Many people were paying attention to Li Xuewu's itinerary, wanting to see his purpose through this dynamic analysis.

In fact, no matter how Li Xuewu arranged it, there would always be unexpected moves; these people were used to making up stories.

However, Gao Yaqin was not surprised by Li Xuewu's arrival, nor was she astonished, because she had long been psychologically prepared.

Although Li Xuewu went to Liaodong, he was still the person in charge of the group's Economic Management Group Office.

There were many working groups in the group, which were temporary institutions set up by Director Li to facilitate coordination between main persons in charge and leaders in charge to discuss work together.

Of course, there was no establishment, but there was real power.

That is to say, as Secretary-General, Li Xuewu held the position of Deputy Head in many organizations similar to the Economic Management Group, so he had the right to inquire about this work.

Including economic work, Li Xuewu was qualified to discuss it with her and provide her with feedback, opinions, and suggestions.

And Li Xuewu came to her office to discuss foreign trade, port construction, mine development, technical cooperation, and other aspects of work with Gao Yaqin, who was in charge of the group's economic work, from the perspective of the Liaodong Industrial Management Group.

Because the Liaodong Industrial Management Group and the group's economic work were related in industrial fields such as automobiles and hardware.

This was a cooperative relationship between superiors and subordinates, especially the scheduling relationship between the Yingcheng Port Area and the Jinmen Trade Management Center.

Gao Yaqin attached great importance to the research report shared by Li Xuewu, but focused on the economic work part.

The two also had in-depth discussions on related work, and from time to time, there were arguments with furrowed brows and loud voices.

But this was normal. Since Gao Yaqin came to work in the group, the two had no contradictions or disputes.

Of course, there was competition last time, but it was fair competition, and she didn't play any dirty tricks.

Li Xuewu specifically mentioned the conflict between the Jinmen Trade Management Center and the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group.

It was also a problem he brought from Liaodong, feeding back some contradictions encountered in actual work.

What did Gao Yaqin think?

Anyway, Li Xuewu didn't come to find fault, nor did he deliberately make things difficult for her or pick on her management flaws.

If there's a problem, just talk about it. Whoever's problem it is, find them. Just come over and clarify it.

While caring about Liaodong's industrial economy, Li Xuewu was also relatively concerned about the construction of the food and medicine sales network, which was also Gao Yaqin's recent work focus.

The two also discussed related work, which finally made the atmosphere of the conversation much more harmonious.

"Do you have time tonight?"

Gao Yaqin sent him to the door and said with a smile, "I'll treat you to a meal, consider it a welcome and a farewell."
