Chapter 1404: The most painful thing in life

"Did you go home for Spring Festival?"

Li Xuewu casually placed his lunch box on the side cabinet and asked Han Zhan, who was following behind him.

Han Zhan smiled and said: "I took a shortcut, rushed back before the year, thinking about looking again after the year."

"Hmm, you were on duty during the New Year, right."

Li Xuewu walked to the sofa and sat down, raised his hand to point to the single seat beside him, signaling him to sit down and talk.

"Didn't your family urge you to go on a blind date and get married? Xu Ning has already found a partner, you also have to hurry up."

"Hehe—" Han Zhan smiled and sat down, nodded to Zhang Enyuan who served him tea to express his gratitude, and then replied: "Xu Ning is two years older than me, it's normal to be anxious."

"So you two are comparing?" Li Xuewu said amusedly: "Can't find one or don't want to find one?"

He took a small sip of the tea cup Zhang Enyuan placed in front of him, and said with a smile: "If you can't find one, then I can talk to the union; there are plenty of good girls."

"Especially the girls in Steel City, I heard they are all good at living; you haven't met anyone you like in the few years you've been in Steel City?"

"I'm dedicated to the public, with no intention to care about other things."

Han Zhan joked: "The girls in Steel City are good, but I haven't met anyone suitable for me; I'll talk about it when I meet one."

"Ghost talk—" Li Xuewu glanced at him and said: "It seems your vision is a bit high; what kind are you looking for?"

He put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "Marrying a wife can't just look at appearance and family; personality is also very important."

"No matter how good the appearance is, it will age; no matter how good the family is, ten or eight years is good, there is no good for decades."

Li Xuewu raised his finger to point at Han Zhan and said: "Living is a lifelong thing; you have to think about this carefully."

"Yes, I will definitely think about it carefully."

Han Zhan responded with a smile; his attitude was very serious; he would never take Li Xuewu's words as wind in his ears.

"I didn't have hope before; now that you've come to Steel City, I don't worry about finding a partner."

He said with a sincere look: "With you caring about me and checking for me, I'll just wait to prepare for the wedding."

"Heh—" Li Xuewu glanced at him, chuckled, and didn't evaluate his pun.

"The girls in Steel City can't keep your heart; it seems your work must be very attentive."

He folded his right leg and nodded, saying: "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Yes, I want to report my work to you." Han Zhan didn't hide it and said frankly: "After all, I've been in Steel City for three years."

"Good, I'm just waiting to hear about your gains in Steel City." Li Xuewu raised his head, signaling he could speak.

Han Zhan's expression became serious; starting from taking over Xu Ning's post three years ago, he talked about the security work of the Steel City Metallurgical Plant.

Li Xuewu also listened very seriously, verifying the work situation Han Zhan reported with what he understood in his heart.

One spoke, one listened; Zhang Enyuan quietly refilled their tea cups with hot water, and then went to organize the materials.

Han Zhan coming to work in Steel City had no friendship with him; the other party was the Security Department Director, and he was the Office Secretary.

It couldn't be said that they were unrelated, but there was no business contact; they just knew each other.

To say they were acquaintances was not even counted, although they worked in the same administration, they almost never spoke.

What business could he have to speak to the other party, and what qualifications did he have to speak to the red man in front of Director Dong.

Even this bit of friendship now was because he took the initiative to contact the other party after serving as Li Xuewu's secretary.

Speaking of Han Zhan, Zhang Enyuan felt this person was very solid, and also very ghostly; ordinary people couldn't handle him.

During Director Dong Wenxue's work in Steel City, his work style was a bit soft, just like the Secretary-General recognized.

But Director Dong's majesty and means were not soft; it was precisely because of the strong support of Security Department Directors like Xu Ning and Han Zhan that the metallurgical plant's security work could be guaranteed.

Everyone didn't talk about how the situation was these few years, but they all understood in their hearts; the metallurgical plant could have today's stable development, it really had to thank the Group Security Department for its support, and also thank the factory Security Department for its courage to take responsibility.

Don't look at Han Zhan laughing and having no serious look in front of Li Xuewu; he was a ruthless person below.

When Xu Ning came to Steel City, he worked under Yang Zongfang; at that time, the relationship was harmonious, and the work started very quickly.

By the time Han Zhan came to Steel City, Yang Zongfang, who was in charge of security work, had work differences with Director Dong Wenxue.

If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't necessarily be able to catch this situation, but Han Zhan relied on means to hold on.

In terms of fighting, the Steel City Security Department had no opponents; in terms of management, he brought advanced systems and budget support from the Group Security Department; in terms of ability, he had too many means and methods for team building and security management, all saying he was both fierce and ruthless.

Now looking at it, Han Zhan being able to take over Xu Ning's shift, stand firm in Steel City, and get support from the general factory, this strong work relationship had been determined, and that was Secretary-General Li Xuewu, who was sitting on the sofa listening to Han Zhan's report.

How big was Li Xuewu's office?

Three sides of cabinets and one side of painting, the inner room was not as big as the outer room.

Coming from Beijing to Steel City, Li Xuewu used the office left by Dong Wenxue, which had a lounge.

Don't think that an office with a lounge is very awesome; could a better lounge be better than the guesthouse? Could a better lounge be more comfortable than home?

This lounge was prepared for being on duty; it was the responsibility and obligation of the factory's main person in charge.

You ask if other leaders in charge don't have to be on duty?

Not really, they are also on duty, but basically there is no situation of being on duty all night, and even less need to eat and sleep in the office.

Often in important periods, the factory's main person in charge has to be on duty continuously, and the whole factory has to listen to his command.

Similarly, almost only the main person in charge will work overtime very late, and leaders in charge rarely work overtime.

This is not the difference between the factory director and deputy factory director, but also the difference between department and section heads.

You see, there will be a simple single bed behind the office desks of department and section heads; that is for being on duty.

So, sometimes deputy positions envy regular positions, and sometimes they don't envy them anymore; it depends on whether they can see it or not.

Li Xuewu is young and motivated, and has high requirements for work, so his office has been changed since he came to Steel City.

It's not that he dislikes Dong Wenxue's old office furniture, but feels that the furniture in the room is not enough.

You say Li Xuewu is just one person working, why use so much furniture, isn't it a waste.

In fact, it's not; Li Xuewu has a lot of work, and the materials and materials related to work are also a lot.

His office desk has to take into account work, study, communication, etc., and cannot place too many documents and materials.

And Li Xuewu is in charge of the group's industrial enterprises in Liaodong, involving all aspects, so there are even more materials.

He has to look at drawings, listen to reports, check materials; one office desk is not enough, so put a conference table.

That's right, there is a large conference table in Li Xuewu's office, filled with various documents he needs to look at at any time.

Sometimes Li Xuewu will also sit by the conference table to review and approve documents, and Zhang Enyuan will do auxiliary work on the side.

And the drawings of several engineering construction projects of the group in Liaodong are placed in one place; the Engineering Construction General Company and the Group Engineering Department and branch factory leaders come here to hold meetings in his office.

There are three sides of document cabinets on the four walls of the room, and one side is a painting; the painting is not landscape, but data charts of various enterprises.

This is also a work that Zhang Enyuan must do every day; he used to be busy, because data is difficult to organize.

But after the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group Office was re-adjusted, this work became much easier.

Apprentice Ma Baosen has learned the skill of putting daily data reports on the wall; he does this as soon as he arrives at the unit every morning.

So the first thing Li Xuewu has to do when he comes to the unit in the morning is to dock with yesterday's work and look at yesterday's daily report form.

Speaking of which, in Zhang Enyuan's opinion, the Secretary-General is a bit serious; Director Dong only looked at weekly reports, but he requires daily reports.

Refining from weekly reports to daily reports only has one benefit, and that is that work progress and responsibility division are clearer.

This week's work doesn't need to be vague, and even less needs to be piled up; if the day's plan is not completed, it must be warned.

If the progress is not completed for three consecutive days, a situation explanation must be submitted; if the progress is really not caught up in a week, then the department and unit head will be interviewed and report to the leader in charge.

Li Xuewu has been in Steel City for more than a month, and the administration is tasting the new leader's work habits and style; have they tasted it in this month? And what have they tasted?

You don't say, Zhang Enyuan listens to all directions, and really heard some interesting sayings.

Someone said the Secretary-General is heavy sword without edge, great skill like work.

How to say this?

It is said that the Secretary-General came to Liaodong, came to Steel City to work without targeting anyone, and even less grabbed anyone and didn't let go as soon as he came up.

This point is said very correctly; Li Xuewu really didn't make any big moves, quite a feeling of moistening things silently.

But looking at the changes in the metallurgical plant and the administration during this period, can you say the Secretary-General didn't do anything?

Joke, there are too many changes!

The administrative management system reform and personnel reform pushed down from the group were stuck at the metallurgical plant level for more than a year, and now there is finally a situation of loosening.

No, it can't be said to be loosening, but a sign and omen of a landslide; everyone is waiting for an opportunity.

The work style in the administration before won't be mentioned; since the Secretary-General came to Steel City, everyone's mentality has changed.

And didn't see the Secretary-General emphasize the regulatory role of discipline inspection, how did everyone have less gossip and more action?

Just one point, no one wants to be the chicken that warns the monkey—

Sometimes it's like this; everyone collects their minds, puts a little more energy into work, and the overall work environment will undergo a qualitative change.

And since the Secretary-General came to Liaodong, everyone wants to see the wind direction and perform actively.

This psychological effect further promoted the change of the overall work atmosphere, and also gave the Secretary-General the promotion work of enterprise organizational structure reform, personnel reform, and other policies immediately after research and visits.

After the meeting this morning, the whole administration boiled over; everyone finally waited for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Looking back at Li Xuewu, he didn't actually contact the heads of various departments and staff of various departments.

He went to the workshop for research and talked with workers, and talked with workshop directors, but he hadn't turned around the administration yet.

Li Xuewu didn't appear very close to the administrative staff, and even had a bit of alienation.

But the more this kind of alienation, the more the people in the administration awe him and respect him.

Li Xuewu only threw out the three-level reform plan of factory, department, and section, which pried the status quo maintained by a group of deputy factory directors before.

No one cared about the past relationship and order anymore, and looked at the management positions of the newly established sections and departments one after another.

Who doesn't want to advance, but the ladder of progress is in the hands of the Secretary-General, so the Secretary-General is the direction they work hard and follow.

So some people say that the Secretary-General didn't do any big moves, but the work he wants to do has already started.

This is called heavy sword without edge, great skill like work.

Look at the effect, the meeting just ended in the morning, and Han Zhan came over at noon; isn't this the effect?

The Secretary-General has been in Steel City for more than a month, why didn't see Han Zhan come to report work.

Yes, it can be understood that Han Zhan is considering for Li Xuewu, waiting for the Secretary-General to truly master the metallurgical plant's work before coming to report, but coming over impatiently now isn't also a change in mentality.

Han Zhan's statement in his words, even Zhang Enyuan can hear it, let alone what he wants to do.

"Still have to do a good job in cadre echelon construction."

Li Xuewu listened to Han Zhan finish speaking, and then put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "No matter how well you do your work, if there is no successor, who is willing to promote you, who is willing to trust you."

"Yes, I understand what you mean."

Han Zhan nodded and said: "I have been grasping the organizational construction work of the Security Department, especially in the last two years."

He said very seriously: "Security management and security talent construction work have carried out a series of reforms under the guidance of the Group Security Department, including management systems and work methods."

"Not enough, you know what I want to emphasize." Li Xuewu pointed at him and said: "The Liangmahe Industrial Zone paid special attention to multi-dimensional management ideas during the construction process; you should still learn more about this aspect."

He pointed at the sofa armrest and said: "Don't think that the difference between the Liangmahe Industrial Zone and the Hongxing Steel City Industrial Zone is big, the situation is different, and management can be neglected."

"I have always emphasized that safety security and security management work should be done in front; the two words 'proactive' are very important."

Li Xuewu put down his right leg and sat up straight, looking at Han Zhan and pointing with his fingers: "The Liangmahe Industrial Zone has a staff residential area, and the Hongxing Steel City Industrial Zone also has a staff residential area."

"The security work of the residential area needs your participation from construction to formal move-in, and this is just the beginning."

He said: "The Group Security Department established exclusion agencies in residential areas and commercial streets; have you thought about this?"

"The professional construction of the Security Brigade and related documents have been given to branch factories and branch companies; have you done this?"

"Don't talk about merit and hard work first; I still want to hear your ideas and methods, and then come to claim merit and complain."

This sentence made Han Zhan's face a bit red; he heard that the metallurgical plant was going to carry out organizational structure reform, and as Li Xuewu's former subordinate, and also having worked in Steel City for more than three years, he felt qualified to fight for the position of Security Department.

But he didn't expect Li Xuewu to listen to him very seriously, but the words criticizing him were also very heart-piercing.

The old leader is still so straight to the heart; he is very kind when talking about life, but changes his face as soon as he talks about work.

"Secretary-General, I have something to report to you."

Liao Jinhui appeared at the office door with a very nervous and serious face, forgetting to knock on the door.

Li Xuewu looked up from behind the office desk at him, his brows frowned slightly, "Come in and talk."

"Yes." Liao Jinhui responded, but his footsteps came to Li Xuewu's side very quickly, and he reported softly.

Li Xuewu's brows frowned deeper the more he listened, until he finished reporting, and then he turned to look at him and asked: "Is the news accurate?"

"It's news from the city." Liao Jinhui nodded seriously and said: "Do you think our factory should..."

"Don't move for now, don't spread the news."

Li Xuewu was giving instructions while picking up the phone and calling Yang Zongfang. After the call was connected and he confirmed that the other party was Yang Zongfang's answering voice, he said: "Comrade Zongfang, come to my office, I have something to talk about."

After finishing, he put down the phone, turned to Liao Jinhui and instructed: "Go to the city, get a detailed situation explanation, and ask if the city has any special arrangements, fast."

"Understood, I'll go right now." Liao Jinhui agreed very neatly, and seeing Li Xuewu had no other requirements, he turned and walked away quickly.

When he went out, he happened to meet Zhang Enyuan coming in; the two almost collided, but Liao Jinhui didn't have time to be polite to him, missed his body and ran down the stairs in small steps, appearing very anxious.

Zhang Enyuan walked into the office, seeing the leader's expression was serious, his heart jumped along with it; please don't let anything happen.

"Call the Fengcheng Machinery Plant, my itinerary to Fengcheng is postponed, please ask Factory Director Xiao to explain to Director Hu Ke on my behalf."

Li Xuewu's fingers on the office desk were tapping slightly, and he instructed Zhang Enyuan: "Contact the Arsenal, get a detailed list of weapon products, attached with production capacity."

"Secretary-General—" Zhang Enyuan widened his eyes in surprise; he really didn't understand what the leader was going to do.

Liao Director running out in small steps was already very scary, and the leader's instructions just now made his scalp explode.

"Notify the Security Section to cancel all leave and be on combat readiness." Li Xuewu didn't care about his panic and continued to instruct: "Notify the Fire Department, Three Defenses Office, and Militia Office to stand by for first-level preparation."

After these were all instructed, he looked at Zhang Enyuan and emphasized: "Do as I say first, and then call Zhang Jing over."

"Yes—" Zhang Enyuan's response voice clearly had a few more tremors, which was fear of unknown danger.

This era is not as fast as later generations in news dissemination, not as transparent, and even less confident than later generations.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the enemy is surrounded, especially in this Northeast, a land of four wars, which can be called the East Asian Monster Room.

Just after Zhang Enyuan responded and was about to go out, there was a knock on the door, and Yang Zongfang arrived.

Zhang Enyuan turned his head with a stiff neck, saw it was him, and greeted him with a numb expression.

Yang Zongfang was a sensitive person; Li Xuewu taking the initiative to call him was very strange, and calling him over must be to talk about the work he was in charge of.

If there was other related work, it shouldn't be just him coming to Li Xuewu's office.

Looking at the performance of Li Xuewu's secretary Zhang Enyuan again, this was losing his past standard; what exactly happened?

"Comrade Zongfang, come—"

Li Xuewu greeted him, didn't get up from behind the office desk, but pointed to the opposite side of the office desk.

With the difference in their ranks and positions, he really didn't need to get up, but workplace etiquette still had to be there.

Yang Zongfang now thought Li Xuewu absolutely didn't look down on him, and wasn't being impolite to deliberately humiliate him.

He nodded to Zhang Enyuan, watched the other party walk out quickly, and even closed the door, and the guess in his heart could no longer be hidden; he walked to the opposite side of Li Xuewu and sat down.

It was just that Li Xuewu was faster than him; before he sat down, he told the situation Liao Jinhui had just reported.

Good fellow, Yang Zongfang's expression was stunned, his hand didn't hold steady, and he fell into the chair.

He really couldn't care about being impolite, and even less about his butt, looking at Li Xuewu with full surprise and asking: "This—is this true?"

Li Xuewu nodded, looked into his eyes and said: "I have already arranged for Liao Jinhui to go to the city to listen to the city's opinions and obey the unified arrangement of the locality."

"In addition, I have instructed him not to leak this news, to ensure production and work situation stability as much as possible."

His fingers were still tapping on the desktop, making Yang Zongfang's heart jump, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

In fact, he didn't know that his face was very white at this moment, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat, appearing a bit embarrassed.

Li Xuewu understood his performance very well; although he was in charge of the metallurgical plant's security work, he didn't have relevant work experience.

"My opinion is to control the situation first, make preparations, obey the unified arrangement, and then move."

"Uh—yes—" Yang Zongfang heard Li Xuewu finish speaking, and then reacted, his face recovered a bit of redness, and he nodded and said: "I agree with your opinion."

"Then you and I will be responsible for this matter for the time being; don't expand the influence anymore, wait for the news to be announced and then see." Li Xuewu saw him like this, and nodded and instructed: "I have already required security, fire, and other related departments to make preparations; you work hard and go down to check the actual preparation situation of each department."

"No matter what happens, the metallurgical plant must form a unified thought, ensuring production as a premise."

"Understood!" Yang Zongfang responded very quickly, only thinking of something when he got up, and took the initiative to ask: "Should this situation be reported to the group?"

"Probably not." Li Xuewu sighed lightly and said: "The group should know before us."

He looked at Yang Zongfang and said: "Wait for the city's news first, and then wait for the group's news."

"There is one point you must remember; I don't care about the outside, but we ourselves must not be chaotic."

Li Xuewu emphasized very seriously: "Especially the discipline department; whoever has a problem at this time, I will deal with whoever."

"Good, I understand." Yang Zongfang stood up, nodded and said: "I will arrange it now; I will be on duty tonight."

"Hmm, go, I will be there tonight too."

Li Xuewu raised his wrist to look at the time; this matter couldn't be finished in a while.

Yang Zongfang had just left for a while when Zhang Jing came in.

"Secretary-General, you are looking for me."

"Hmm, sit down and talk." Li Xuewu pointed to the position opposite him where Yang Zongfang had just sat.

After the other party sat down, he informed the situation simply, and without waiting for Zhang Jing to be surprised, he instructed: "Run to the Steel City Aircraft Manufacturing Plant in a while, look at the working status of the experimental flight helicopter."

"Secretary-General, this is—"

Zhang Jing asked in surprise: "Do you mean to send the plane north..."

"I don't mean anything." Li Xuewu tapped the table and said: "Having preparations is better than not having preparations."

"What if they ask above?"

He looked at Zhang Jing and said: "Calling to ask makes me feel uneasy; it's better for you to go and see the situation."

"Furthermore, other industrial enterprises should have received related early warning information by now; just reply as I instructed, and at the same time ensure duty strength to ensure smooth information."

"Understood—" Zhang Jing nodded, looked at the notebook in his hand and repeated the instructions Li Xuewu had just made, and then looked up and said: "I will go back to the office first, and after explaining clearly, I will go to Steel City Aircraft; I will contact the office by phone and report to you at any time."

"Good, go—"

Li Xuewu nodded, closed his eyes slightly, closed his eyes and pondered, thinking about what else hadn't been arranged for this matter.

He was really confused; he had been too busy recently, so he forgot such an important thing.

Yes, it was March 2nd today; he didn't feel that today was anything special; even if he was going to hold a metallurgical plant work meeting, even if he was going to make many work arrangements and reforms, he didn't take today's work seriously.

Never expected—

Some people say, how can Li Xuewu remember so many things in his head, why not write them in a notebook?

Are you kidding?

The memory in the head is not wrong; writing it in a notebook is a mistake; he doesn't want to find trouble for himself.

He had the habit of marking five-pointed stars on the calendar a few years ago, but later he slowly stopped doing it.

Not leaving traces is the foundation; everyone knows where his office is, so how could they not see those signs.

Not to mention the administrative staff, even those comrades doing hygiene and cleaning work could enter and exit his office.

This was still coming to Steel City; Zhang Enyuan explicitly emphasized to the hygiene service personnel that the Secretary-General's office hygiene was his responsibility, which maintained the habit of locking the door after work.

You let Li Xuewu make marks on the calendar under the office desk, or even make notes, don't you want to scare others to death?

The metallurgical plant didn't look like it had any changes on the surface, just a few discipline departments received the notice of being on duty.

This kind of thing, although not frequent in past work, was not rare; the reason for the special era.

Anyway, whatever they said above, they did; it wasn't that there was no muttering and guessing about the motive of the Secretary-General's decision, but the information surface they could contact was too narrow, and even if they guessed hard, they couldn't guess accurately.

There is no wall that doesn't leak wind in this world; when getting off work in the afternoon, the related news spread out in shadows, but it wasn't confirmed by related departments, and everyone just treated it as a guess when they heard it.

However, looking at the actions of the Security Section, Fire Department, and other sections, everyone seemed to be a bit more certain.

What Li Xuewu said to Yang Zongfang was not an emotion; he really had to work overtime tonight.

After Zhang Enyuan returned from the Arsenal, he went to the guesthouse to order dinner, for Li Xuewu, for Deputy Factory Director Yang, and for the duty room; no one could go home tonight.

In fact, the situation was still okay; Liao Jinhui couldn't bring more news and instructions from the city, and the city was also waiting.

No news is the best news; Li Xuewu knew the situation wasn't as ordinary and simple as everyone thought, but he couldn't appear too nervous, otherwise the people below would be nervous.

Being on duty is an attitude; as long as he is on duty at the unit, the staff of the whole metallurgical plant and various industrial enterprises of the group in Liaodong can go home to eat well and sleep well.

Zhang Jing returned from the Hongxing Steel City Aircraft Manufacturing Plant before getting off work, and the news he brought back wasn't good.

The existing aircraft production line of Steel Aircraft had indeed been assembled, but it would take a while to realize production.

Now there are a few "Little Dragonflies" in the experimental workshop, but this thing is only manually assembled for experimental needs.

Not to mention that the technicians and engineers in the laboratory couldn't guarantee whether it could complete the operation, Li Xuewu didn't dare to send non-compliant products like this; what if something happened?

It's really not a coincidence; if the aircraft had completed production at this time, even if it was trial production.

Li Xuewu considered letting the "Little Dragonfly" become famous in one battle, forming influence in the country, and more importantly, letting the procurement see the role of this aircraft, so as to promote domestic sales.

Unfortunately, the time is wrong.

"Hmm, it's me, I won't go back tonight." Li Xuewu held the phone and said: "I have to be on duty at the unit."

"Do you need me to send bedding over?"

Although Zhou Wang Yamei didn't know why Li Xuewu suddenly wanted to stay at the unit to be on duty, she didn't have the qualifications to doubt or question Li Xuewu.

What she could think of was that Li Xuewu had never been on duty at the unit, knowing that his office had a lounge, but there was no bedding and change of clothes.

It wasn't late now; she asked Li Xuewu's meaning to let Li Xuewu arrange for someone to take it from home.

"Do you need me to prepare dinner?"

"No need, nothing is missing."

Li Xuewu's tone was still as gentle as usual: "The plan to Fengcheng is cancelled; if there is nothing at noon tomorrow, I will go home again, that's it."

"Good—" Zhou Wang Yamei said on the phone: "Then you also rest early."

Li Xuewu didn't answer and put down the phone.

Rest is not delayed; he has a count in his heart, and he can sleep, unlike others who are panicked.

Zhang Enyuan might be really scared; he didn't dare to tell his family, very afraid of mushrooms growing on his head, and the whole family evaporating together.

It would be better if he didn't say it, then there would be no regrets; if he really said it, not only did the discipline not allow it, but if he cried and made a fuss and really had nostalgia for life, it wouldn't look good.

How did that sentence go? If the sky falls, there is a tall one to hold it; he is scared, but he can still endure it.

Before Zhang Jing returned, he had been staring in the office; after Zhang Jing returned, he went to the guesthouse canteen.

Half an hour after the bell rang, he brought the food and returned to the office building, returned to the duty room.

"Go, send it to Deputy Factory Director Yang."

Zhang Enyuan handed the prepared lunch boxes to Ma Baosen and instructed: "Don't forget there is a copy for Secretary Liu here."

"Master, is this money you spent?"

Ma Baosen took the lunch box handed by his master and asked softly: "How to calculate it when the time comes? The finance side..."

"What time is it? Still calculating money?" Zhang Enyuan glared at his apprentice and said: "Do you know what the most painful thing in life is?"

Without waiting for his apprentice to answer, he said lightly: "It's people died, money not spent."

"Uh—" Ma Baosen pulled the corners of his mouth; he heard the nervous emotion in his master's words, and deliberately teased: "I think the most painful thing in life is money spent, people not died."

"Go—roll away—"

Zhang Enyuan laughed and scolded his apprentice in anger, saying: "Can't do serious things, but have the ability to pull idle eggs!"

"Hehe—" Ma Baosen smiled and comforted his master: "This Northeast is big, why must we be afraid?"

He just wanted to comfort his master, but seeing his master glare at him, he quickly stopped his voice and slipped out of the door.

His master gave him a chance, going to send food to Deputy Factory Director Yang, how could he get a thank you.

It's just that he didn't know how to repay his master, and accidentally said his master's thoughts.

This kind of thing, can only be understood, cannot be spoken; saying it is shameful.

You say the duty room is not afraid, but his master is afraid; how is this possible, but he cannot say his master is afraid, because his master didn't say he was afraid, trying to pretend to be strong.

"I think Baosen is right, this Northeast is big."

Zhang Jing came out of the office, called others in the duty room to eat, and comforted with a smile: "Besides, we still have to have confidence; the will like the Great Wall of Steel is invincible."

"You are right, not wrong at all."

Zhang Enyuan smiled and signaled the lunch box in his hand: "Can't let the leader be hungry, I'll send the food first, and talk when I come back."

"You are busy with yours; we gathered together to hold a tea party today, there is plenty of time to talk."

Zhang Jing smiled and waved his hand at him, took out a lunch box from the box and opened it to look, raised his eyebrows and said: "Okay, braised pork with eggplant, Deputy Director Zhang really spent his capital!"

"Really or fake! Let me see!"

Zhou Linghua curiously leaned over and opened the lunch box, but saw another dish, "Pork stewed vermicelli with cabbage!"

He turned his head to look at the figure of Deputy Director Zhang leaving, and looked at others and said: "Deputy Director Zhang is not living anymore!"

"Hmm, it looks like it—"

Zhang Jing looked at the lunch boxes in the box opened one by one; there were indeed more than one dish, but four kinds and eight boxes, plus a few boxes of steamed buns and rice, looking like a gathering.

He smiled and greeted a few people to clean up an office desk, then set up stools, and said: "Don't forget the well-digger when drinking water; understand the rules, wait for Deputy Director Zhang to return together."

"Hehe, I agree with this opinion of the director!"

He smiled and gestured for the others to clear off a desk, then set out chairs and said, "Don't forget the well-diggers when you drink the water. Know the rules; wait for Deputy Director Zhang to return so we can be together."

"Beautiful you, still want to drink—"

Zhang Jing smiled and pointed at him, saying: "The first article of the office management regulations is to prohibit drunkenness and sleeping on duty; how did you learn?"

"This is hope!" Wang Min looked at the others and said: "No matter what tomorrow is, gathering together tonight is a great fate, even if that thing is worth it."

"I don't—I'm not worth it—"

Zhang Jing emphasized amusedly: "I still have a wife and children; what am I worth with these young people!"

While talking, he looked at Zhou Peilan, who had a very beautiful appearance, and smiled at the other young guys.

Youth is really good; youth is infinite, and silly happiness is also a mentality.

All four were university graduates, and they arrived at the Hongxing plant in a batch; some were even schoolmates.

The group only cooperates closely with two universities, one is Huaqing University, and one is the Steel Institute, so there are particularly many students from these two universities in the group.

Last year, Deputy Director Gu Weijie presided over the talent introduction plan, and the group's high-education talents expanded a lot; even branch factories could be assigned university students, which shows the strength of this force.

To say whether university students are easy to use, Zhang Jing has the most say; as the leader group office director, he was in a blank work state when he first started, and these four young people had already started learning and exercising under the Secretary-General's requirements.

Faster than him to enter the work state, high enthusiasm, strong ability, and positive mentality, no need to think about those messy flies and dogs; to be honest, he really envied.

"I smell the fragrance of food."

Ma Baosen returned from outside, signaled the box he was holding and explained with a smile: "The drink given by Deputy Factory Director Yang, today is really a full harvest, full of happiness—"

"Look, isn't the drink here!"

Zhang Jing smiled at Wang Min and said: "Why don't you go help, we will replace wine with tea today."

It is indeed replacing wine with tea; the drink Deputy Factory Director Yang gave them is a product of the Group Food Processing Plant brought back from Beijing.

They also heard that the food company produced several drinks for export, not to mention various sodas, just cold drinks made with tea, and flavored tea drinks were very attractive.

Where are there any drinks to choose from in this era; orange soda can be sold out, it's not bad to have something to drink.

It's just that the drinks produced by the food company basically didn't realize domestic sales, and were used for export trade.

Ordinary people couldn't get such drinks, but for Deputy Factory Director Yang, it was still very easy.

Nothing more than spending money; buying from the group's supply service department, heard that the group established several supply service departments in the Liangmahe Industrial Zone, and the goods inside were particularly complete.

Open supply to enterprise staff, just buy related products with work permits, no supply tickets needed.

This is a unique benefit for group staff, but it hasn't spread in Liaodong yet; the Sales General Company is doing work.

"Go and send two bottles to the Secretary-General."

Zhang Jing instructed Ma Baosen: "By the way, call your master to come back to eat; we are waiting for him."

"Understood, I'll go right now—"

Ma Baosen pulled out two bottles of tea drinks and went to the next door; he happened to see his master talking to the Secretary-General.

"Secretary-General, this is given by Deputy Factory Director Yang; I said I didn't want it, but he insisted on giving it to us."

He knew how to sell well; it looked like he was explaining to Li Xuewu, but in fact, he was afraid his master would scold him.

Zhang Enyuan didn't have the mood to deal with him now, and was about to tell him to go out, but Li Xuewu took two boxes of Da Qianmen from the drawer and threw them to Ma Baosen, "You go smoke."

"Thank you, Secretary-General! I said I wouldn't come for nothing!" ===== CHAPTER 1405 =====

Zhang Enyuan had no mood to deal with him now; he set down his boxed meal and was about to tell him to leave, but Li Xuewu pulled two packs of Da Qianmen cigarettes from his drawer and tossed them to Ma Baosen. "You guys go smoke."

"Thank you, Secretary-General! I knew coming here wouldn't be for nothing!"
