Chapter 1417: Leading Brother

Regarding Zhou Ya Mei's sudden idea of taking the child back to the capital to settle down, Li Xuewu neither forced her nor agreed, and it just passed.

In mid-April, accompanied by Group Deputy General Manager Gao Yaqin, Saint-Aya Group President Chantal visited Yingcheng for research. At the request of President Chantal, a visit to Steel City for research was added to the itinerary. Her purpose of actively visiting Li Xuewu, Secretary-General of the Red Star Steel Group and person in charge of the Group's industrial leadership group in Liaodong, was not concealed at all.

"Welcome, welcome, Ms. Chantal."

Group Secretary-General Li Xuewu personally went to the front of the guesthouse where she was staying to welcome Chantal and her party.

In front of the glass door, both sides shook hands and greeted each other cordially, and Li Xuewu also expressed his welcome to President Chantal and her party on behalf of the Group's industrial leadership group in Liaodong.

In the guesthouse conference hall, witnessed by the staff of the propaganda departments of both sides, President Chantal highly evaluated the cooperative relationship between the Red Star Steel and Saint-Aya groups with an enthusiastic opening statement.

She stated, "Saint-Aya and Red Star Steel have built a solid foundation for cooperation, and our pragmatic cooperation is constantly advancing."

Chantal cited a series of impressive data to support her point of view.

She pointed out that in the past year alone, the trade volume between the two sides achieved an amazing growth, surging by nearly a quarter year-on-year, reaching an excellent result of 4.6 million US dollars.

This figure not only highlights the complementarity and huge potential of the economic construction and development of both sides, but also reflects the close connection between the two groups in the industrial and trade fields.

As Saint-Aya's main partner in the mainland industrial and trade field, Red Star Steel's status is increasingly prominent.

Chantal mentioned, "According to the statistical results of last year, Red Star Steel's ranking in the Saint-Aya Group's trade partner list has risen to third place. This significant progress is inseparable from the key field development plan for industrial and trade cooperation between the two sides approved after our visit to the Steel City Industrial Zone in July 1967 until 1971. This plan undoubtedly played a direct driving role."

When talking about the areas of cooperation, Chantal especially emphasized the importance of energy, construction, and industry, and listed them as priority items for cooperation between the two sides.

At the same time, she also has high hopes for cooperation in high-tech, innovation, technological development, and shipping.

In-depth cooperation in these areas will bring broader development prospects for the Red Star Steel and Saint-Aya groups.

In addition to industrial and trade cooperation, Chantal also mentioned the importance of cultural exchanges. She stated, "According to the agreement reached by both sides, we will hold cross-year activities of French and Chinese culture in 1972-1973. This will further strengthen the understanding and friendship between the employees of the two groups and lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of the relationship between the two sides."

This opening statement by Chantal not only demonstrated the significant cooperation results achieved by the Red Star Steel and Saint-Aya groups in many fields, but also predicted that the two sides will carry out in-depth cooperation at more levels in the future.

In today's era where globalization is beginning to appear, the close cooperation between the Red Star Steel and Saint-Aya groups will undoubtedly inject more possibilities into international trade and development.

Gao Yaqin, Deputy General Manager of the Red Star Steel Group, put forward new hopes for the industrial and trade and economic cooperation between the two sides on behalf of the Group, and Group Secretary-General Li Xuewu put forward an opinion-based cooperation outlook on the development of industrial and shipping cooperation on behalf of the Group.

"The development of United Construction is still too slow."

In the small meeting room, now only necessary staff remained, and Chantal's tone became straightforward.

She looked at Li Xuewu and seriously put forward her opinion, regarding the development of the Red Star United Construction General Corporation in the past year and this year's development plan.

Gao Yaqin frowned slightly and reminded: "Ms. Chantal, you should see our efforts and foundation from scratch. This is an innate condition that cannot be bypassed."

She is the Deputy Director of the Group in charge of economic construction, and is called the Deputy General Manager of the Group externally. She is very familiar with the economic development status of the Group's various departments and units.

"We are very grateful for the support and help given by the Saint-Aya Group to our Group in all aspects in the past few years, and we also cherish the cooperation opportunity with your side very much, and are working hard for the goal of win-win cooperation..."

It can be said that the attitude expressed by Gao Yaqin is very consistent with the current situation and policies of the Red Star Steel Group. As long as you can understand it, you can understand her sincerity.

In foreign trade and economic construction work, the professionalism shown by Gao Yaqin is very consistent with her past work experience, and there is no mistake in her words and deeds.

However, these experiences and conservative attitudes also confined her to these rules and regulations, and she appeared a bit rigid. For Chantal, who is used to the fighting of international trade, she was not enough to watch. She could still give the other party some face in public, but she showed arrogance in private.

That's right, women will make things difficult for women.

No matter how polite Gao Yaqin was, no matter how tactful her words were, they were all hypocritical to Chantal.

She always looked into Li Xuewu's eyes. It was useless for others to say anything; she only wanted to hear what Li Xuewu had to say.

This attitude made Gao Yaqin very ashamed and angry. She was used to dealing with foreign affairs departments, and both sides strictly observed diplomatic etiquette. The more flexible and cunning thinking of foreign businessmen caught her off guard for a while, and she was even speechless.

So she said a few words, and seeing that the other party didn't listen to what she said at all, she frowned slightly and stopped.

The scene was deadlocked for a while. The main leaders didn't speak, and the accompanying staff didn't dare to make a sound.

Last time, Group Vice President Mercedes angered the Red Star Steel Group, and the two sides had a good fight. How much price the Group paid, they didn't know, but what they knew was that the management power of the Group was once again returned to the President.

Vice President Mercedes is a representative of new shareholders. The process of financing and restructuring of the Group is inevitably accompanied by the evolution and replacement of power, which is also a special change within the Group.

This time, the Group President did not call Vice President Mercedes during his inspection of mainland industrial and trade cooperation, which is enough to explain the problem.

The consensus within the Group at present is that Mercedes has lost the authority and future that originally belonged to him. Staying in the mainland is more like dealing with the errand. No one in the Far East branch listens to him, but the President just didn't transfer him away.

Few people can understand the twists and turns here. The only thing that can be felt is that Group President Chantal is increasingly concerned about the mainland market and does not hesitate to come to the front line.

Just at the Yingcheng Shipyard and Yingcheng Port Area, President Chantal wore a safety helmet and went to the construction site to check the construction progress and engineering planning.

In Yingcheng, there is clearly no construction business directly related to the Group, but the President went to see it. On the surface, it is to see the work of the United Construction Engineering General Corporation and the 10,000-ton cargo ship of Yingcheng Shipyard, but in reality?

Almost everyone can see that her goal, besides construction and shipping, is the modern port under construction in the Far East.

If an international trader can get a cooperative relationship with a port area where a large market is located, it will directly determine whether its future can become a large international trade group company.

Chantal will not feel that she has earned enough money, so she is reluctant to give up shipping, and even more reluctant to give up the port area.

Now, she is here to see Li Xuewu's attitude.

When the eyes of everyone in the small meeting room gathered on him, Li Xuewu knew he had to speak.

"I will be very frank: the development of the domestic construction industry is still in the stage of primitive accumulation."

Li Xuewu put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Chantal and said: "I have reason to believe that Red Star United Construction is already in the first echelon of the domestic construction industry."

"Of course, I am talking about technology and development thinking." He waved his hand, interrupted Chantal who was about to speak, and continued to say very domineeringly: "Of course, I also know that this is not the main purpose of your coming here to see me today."

"What I can tell you is that United Construction is a joint industry of Red Star Steel Group and Saint-Aya Group. We both hope that it will develop and grow rapidly, but this requires a certain amount of time and a necessary process."

He raised his hands to signal, and then emphasized: "We will take the initiative to assume the due responsibility and commitment. If your side hopes to see longer-term development, then we also thank you very much and hope that your side will make more efforts."

*Buzz—*

Hearing Li Xuewu's impolite opening, Gao Yaqin's eyebrows moved in surprise. If she hadn't been familiar with Li Xuewu's personality, she would have been furious and stopped him.

So far, she hadn't seen anyone talk to foreign businessmen like this, but the current effect is indeed unexpected.

Especially the last two sentences, neither humble nor arrogant, tricky and direct, translated as: If you can, you do it.

Can Chantal be willing?

She hopes to see the Red Star United Construction General Corporation develop and grow rapidly, but she hopes even more that the Red Star Steel Group will increase investment, not themselves.

Li Xuewu's words were mixed with guns and sticks, truly giving the arrogant and arrogant French woman a lesson.

And his subsequent words pointed out the other party's intentions without any cover.

"Now you can say why you came to Steel City to see me. I am all ears."

The ball was kicked to Chantal's side, and the strength was not ordinary, but it made the French female president very annoyed.

"I came with full sincerity, not to quarrel with you."

She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Li Xuewu and said: "If we can help United Construction grow, we are of course willing to do more."

"For example?" Li Xuewu asked indifferently, picking up his teacup: "How much is more? Practical ones?"

The accompanying staff of the Saint-Aya Group looked at him one after another, and then looked at their own president.

This person is so rude, why treat him with courtesy.

Chantal didn't care about Li Xuewu's bluffing. In business, she can do a lot.

For example, when she was in the capital, she could 360 degrees... forget it, don't say it, those who understand understand.

Now facing the heartless man who pulled out and didn't recognize people, she didn't show a trace of annoyance or resentment, because this is the business world.

Lu Xun once said that the business world is like a battlefield.

"For example, the Saint-Aya Group supports the Red Star Steel Group in building a world-class standard hotel in the capital."

It was shocking. No one knew whether the female president of the Saint-Aya Group was prepared for this opinion before coming to Steel City to see Li Xuewu, or was she forced by the Secretary-General of the founder of economic construction of the Red Star Steel Group.

Now what she said, if it spreads, is enough to cause a tsunami-like influence in the economic and architectural circles of the capital.

"Capital, or China, there is no world-class standard hotel yet, right?"

I don't know if it was intentional, Chantal used a tone that seemed to be a counter-general, slightly proudly: "Anyway, I haven't lived in such a hotel in the mainland."

"That's right, it is indeed as you see."

Li Xuewu admitted the other party's arrogance very frankly, nodded and said: "I am indeed shocked by your speech, but I hope you have thought about it carefully, rather than talking nonsense."

"There is a Chinese idiom called 'one word is worth nine tripods'." Chantal looked at Li Xuewu seriously and said: "What I say now is one word is worth nine tripods, ten tripods, eleven tripods."

Gao Yaqin's mouth twitched when she heard her words. She didn't know how to evaluate the other party's Chinese.

You want to say she learned it very well, yes, people know "one word is worth nine tripods," and can use the scene correctly. But if you want to say she is a China hand, this idiom can be changed randomly?

"100 meters high, it should be the tallest building in China, right? A 100-meter-high international standard hotel."

Chantal was really forcing Li Xuewu, forcing him to retreat, otherwise he would have to admit that the Red Star Steel Group couldn't catch her opinion, and had no ability to talk to her and the Saint-Aya Group on an equal footing.

Of course, Li Xuewu couldn't deny that she was well-prepared and wanted to do it for real, because building the tallest building in China for the Red Star Steel Group would not bring any benefits at all, but the reputation that the Saint-Aya Group could harvest was too much.

If the Saint-Aya Group can really support and help the Red Star Steel Group build the first tallest building in China, then they will become a monopoly foreign enterprise in the country in the next thirty years.

As long as you build a high-rise building, you must think of them, use their standards, technology, machinery, etc. By then, where will there be any room for yourself to speak in the construction industry?

However, for the Red Star Steel Group, being able to prepare for the first tallest building in China is a very rare opportunity. While making the Saint-Aya Group famous, United Construction will also become the first in the country.

This is cooperation, and it is also competition. The resources of the Red Star Steel Group in United Construction can fully fight for the right to speak and the right to decide standards for the future of domestic construction.

Chantal is pulling Li Xuewu to the gambling table, wanting to gamble on the future, gambling on the competition and cooperation between the two sides.

Now everyone can see that she wants to gamble on the luck of the two groups with Li Xuewu, and Li Xuewu can see the changes in the relationship between the two sides after further cooperation.

It can be reflected from the Red Star United Construction and foreign trade cooperation, as well as technology-related cooperation.

Now the Red Star Steel Group is the master, the Saint-Aya Group is the guest, the master and guest cooperate, and the cooperation is win-win. But if one day the situation and policies change, the master and guest are reversed, and the dove occupies the magpie's nest, how should the Red Star Steel Group respond?

Can Chantal really see the development of the country in the next thirty years like Li Xuewu?

No, there is a conclusion in the investment world, that is, don't invest in projects, but invest in people. Chantal happens to be such a person. She is more optimistic about Li Xuewu's persistence and efforts for the Red Star Steel Group. She feels that this young man is not simple.

"The Saint-Aya Group will provide absolute support in international loans and technology, all-round..."

"We can talk about this slowly."

Li Xuewu suddenly interrupted her tempting words and said directly: "Now we can talk about shipping."

"You are really a bit impolite."

Gao Yaqin returned to the office with Li Xuewu and said in a teasing tone: "Is it because you are friends?"

"What friends?" Li Xuewu turned his head and glanced at her, and asked with a smile: "Will you make friends with business partners? This is like seeking skin from a tiger."

"What—no—"

Gao Yaqin looked Li Xuewu up and down, and asked with some disbelief: "Isn't it said that you are friends?"

"Hehehe—" Li Xuewu chuckled and led her into the office, casually placed his notebook on the office desk, picked up the teacup and took a drink, and only then said: "You are too real, saying friends means friends?"

"If you say so, then I have too many friends, I can't count them."

He looked at Gao Yaqin who followed into the room and said: "In our hutong, there are many people who kowtow and worship brothers. Some people turn around and throw bricks after kowtowing. This is still called brothers."

"You are really a—"

Gao Yaqin only said half of the words, and the rest turned into admiration and admiration for Li Xuewu's shamelessness.

Her face is small, she can't say such things, and she can't do such things. The education she received doesn't allow her to do so.

However, these don't delay her expressing endless admiration for Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu didn't care about her complex gaze, casually signaled her to sit anywhere, and stood up and picked up the phone on the office desk, calling the Red Star United Construction Engineering General Corporation.

"I am Li Xuewu of the Group, help me connect to your company's Deputy General Manager Wu Shuping."

He said this to the phone, and then listened to the operator's response, and put the phone aside.

Gao Yaqin raised her eyebrows and looked at him, asking: "Are you moved?"

"Nonsense, didn't you move?"

Li Xuewu curled his lips, walked to the tea cabinet to refill his teacup with hot water, and then walked back and said: "Even if you say you are not moved, I don't believe it."

He placed the teacup on the office desk, walked back to the office desk and sat down, stretched out two fingers to signal Gao Yaqin's eyes, and pointed back to his own eyes.

"Just when she said she wanted to build an international standard hotel, your eyeballs were about to pop out."

"Go—" Gao Yaqin glanced at him and coquettishly said: "Your eyeballs can pop out."

"This is called description, rhetorical device."

Li Xuewu teased her on purpose, and then said with a smile: "I also give you an opinion. In the future, when you meet someone who can brag like this, you should be reserved and don't look like you haven't seen the world."

"Hey, Li Xuewu, you really have it—"

Gao Yaqin was angry and amused, looked at him and said: "You laugh at me for being ignorant, do you have knowledge?"

"At least more knowledge than you." Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and emphasized: "Just now she said those things, did you see me show a little surprised expression?"

"No—"

He tapped the table with his finger and said with a smile: "To talk about bragging, I have indeed seen people who can brag better than her."

"Old Sun in our front yard, he was from the street before drinking, and the earth was his after drinking."

"Is this how you practice?" Gao Yaqin looked at him with more complex eyes, not knowing whether it was envy or surprise. If this kind of knowledge could train such a big heart as Li Xuewu, then their street would produce diplomats.

"This is called what you see and hear." He stretched out his finger and circled around his ear and said: "What you see and hear doesn't count, you have to think about these things clearly in your mind."

"For example, our neighbor Old Sun, who drank big wine all his life and bragged all his life, but didn't even have a decent coffin when he died."

He suddenly became serious and said: "From that time on, I knew that what was said while drinking was useless, and the big words said without drinking don't need to be afraid, because they are not as good as this drinking and bragging."

"You mean..." Gao Yaqin asked with narrowed eyes: "She is cheating you? These words are fake?"

"When fake is true, true is fake, false and true."

Li Xuewu had already heard the connection sound from the receiver, responded to Gao Yaqin, and answered the phone.

"Well, I am Li Xuewu."

The person on the phone was Wu Shuping, the current Deputy General Manager of Red Star United Construction Engineering General Corporation, in charge of financial work.

She was a bit surprised that Li Xuewu would use this channel to contact her, so she performed very professionally.

"Hello Secretary-General, do you have anything to find me?"

"Well, there is a project to tell you."

The phone at this time was not sound-gathering. When talking on the phone, it could be heard from two miles away.

Gao Yaqin was in her office now, and Li Xuewu naturally had to have a sense of proportion when speaking.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said: "You contact the Design and Research Institute and help me produce a comprehensive argumentative report on a 100-meter-high international standard hotel building."

"Why? 100 meters high? And international standard hotel?" Wu Shuping couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Is it a Group project? It's not very suitable in the country, right?"

She reminded Li Xuewu eagerly: "There is no such big consumption in the country, you must be cautious."

Wu Shuping knows Li Xuewu's influence in the Red Star Steel Group very well. He asked her for this argument, which is absolutely not aimless, and it is impossible to be teasing her. There is no use in using this to entertain people.

The only explanation is that the Group is really considering building a 100-meter-high international standard hotel building in the capital, which will become the tallest building in the country.

According to the current development status of the Group, it is really possible to do this. This thing is too fast to get a name.

As long as this project is invested, the reputation of the building will always accompany the Red Star Steel Group, and these leaders of the Group will definitely benefit.

But as Li Xuewu's private think tank, Wu Shuping doesn't want Li Xuewu to make such a decision that destroys his future. She is more optimistic about Li Xuewu's development in the Red Star Steel Group.

Engaging in such a big project, although it can bring fame to Li Xuewu in a short time, it will also overdraw the future of the Group.

The Red Star Steel Group finally tossed out a little family background, it is really a pity to lose it like this.

Li Xuewu understood her reminder very well, but still insisted: "No now, doesn't mean no in the future."

He explained simply on the phone: "This is a cooperation project between the Red Star Steel Group and the Saint-Aya Group, and other investments will be pulled in later. You don't care about these for now, just give me an argumentative report as soon as possible."

What can Wu Shuping say? Li Xuewu couldn't explain more to her on the phone, and she couldn't say more.

Therefore, the conversation between the two ended quickly.

Gao Yaqin heard the whole conversation between the two, and after he put down the phone, she asked with a smile: "I didn't know that you are also friends with this mysterious Deputy General Manager Wu."

Her "friends" should have double quotes, because she was meaningful when she said the word "friends."

Li Xuewu said indifferently: "The Tao is many, the lost Tao is few. If I want to do things, there will be capable people to help."

He sorted out the documents on the table and continued: "What is mysterious about her identity? Just because you don't know doesn't mean others don't know, right?"

"That's right, you are right."

Gao Yaqin smiled and didn't dwell too much on this issue, but asked about the port.

"Good morning, Deputy Factory Director Liu—"

"Good morning, Deputy Factory Director Yang—"

"Yin—"

The security guard on duty at the entrance of the office building on the first floor habitually saluted and greeted every leader who came to work.

Until he saw Deputy Factory Director Yin, his mouth reacted slower than his brain, and as a result, he said half a sentence.

His mouth was used to greeting Deputy Factory Director Yin, but his brain suddenly reacted. Didn't Deputy Factory Director Yin return to the Group's general company in the capital? How did he suddenly appear?

That's right, not only the security guard was stunned for a moment, but even those who came to work in the morning and met Deputy Factory Director Yin were surprised.

Everyone was waiting for him to bring back the good news of victory, but he just appeared to go to work silently?

Who said that! Yin Zhongyao never said such things. How could he pay the price of his life for fame and fortune? These words are all the inner thoughts of some people.

The two situations they most hope to see are either Deputy Factory Director Yin returning in triumph and Li Xuewu leaving Steel City in defeat; or Deputy Factory Director Yin dying to remonstrate with the Group Management Committee.

As a result, this piece of material didn't do either. No wonder those people said how he had the face to come back.

Actually, Yin Zhongyao also felt he had no face, but he couldn't stand eating too many closed doors and cold soup in the Group. He really couldn't eat it anymore, so he had to roll back to work in the Metallurgical Plant.

He also knew that coming back like this would definitely disappoint those people, and he would lose his foundation and hope.

But if he didn't come back, he would have no hope in the Group or the Metallurgical Plant.

So, as everyone saw, Deputy Factory Director Yin ended his business trip plan and returned to the Metallurgical Plant to work.

As for what business trip he went to the Group company for, everyone had a spectrum in their hearts long ago. Now it seems that it was definitely not to complain, and there must have been other preparations.

The half-greeting of the security guard made Yin Zhongyao's face look terrible. He didn't even pay attention to the other party's remedy and went straight into the building.

But after entering the building, he felt that the pointing and criticism behind his back were like wanting to surround him, and he couldn't escape even if he walked back to the office quickly.

Actually, he was too sensitive. At this time, everyone didn't know how to greet him, but they still had awe for the position of deputy factory director.

It was just that the reactions and performances of those people in his circle became a joke and a focus of discussion in the entire circle of the agency.

Since Deputy Factory Director Yin returned to the Metallurgical Plant to work, no "relationship" had disturbed him.

Let's put it this way, unless necessary, even business signatures wanted to bypass him. People below didn't want to touch his bad luck.

Everyone didn't even discuss the results of his trip to the capital in private, because everyone saw it.

If the Group company really had opinions on the Secretary-General, or had other arrangements, then they wouldn't arrange for the President of the Saint-Aya Group to visit Steel City for research. This is not in line with the rules.

Furthermore, Group Deputy Director Gao Yaqin has traveled back and forth between Steel City several times in a short period of time. This is definitely not because she has nothing to do.

With such dense exchanges, the Group values the Secretary-General's opinions so much, who would dare to say that he is going to return to the capital in a gray way?

Therefore, for the sudden appearance of Yin Zhongyao, it is like a verification and result of some predictions.

Some people in a certain circle might be shivering and panicked, while some are continuing to wait and see.

Zhang Enyuan held a stack of documents and came up from the stairwell. His apprentice Ma Baosen saw it and hurriedly came to help.

The master and apprentice sent the documents to the leader's office together, and Ma Baosen took the initiative to go out.

"Leader, documents from the Group."

Zhang Enyuan placed the organized documents on Li Xuewu's desk in layers and reported softly: "Deputy Factory Director Yin is back."

"Well." Li Xuewu just responded softly, and then raised his head, looking at the documents on the table and asked: "Are there documents from United Construction?"

"Yes, there is one." Zhang Enyuan accurately picked out the one the leader wanted from the pile of documents.

Li Xuewu took it and glanced at the document header, but shook his head with some disappointment.

Saint-Aya Group President Chantal only stayed in Steel City for one night and left the next day.

Group Deputy Director Gao Yaqin, who accompanied her, naturally went back together.

Until sending Chantal away, he didn't give the answer the other party wanted. He was still waiting for the plan of the United Construction Company.

Without scientific and systematic argumentation, Li Xuewu couldn't draw a conclusion, let alone talk nonsense.

Of course, it can't be said that Saint-Aya Group President Chantal came to Steel City for nothing.

The two sides held five consecutive meetings and discussed in detail the development and construction of the Red Star United Construction Engineering General Corporation.

With Li Xuewu and Gao Yaqin there, these discussions were real and could be accurately implemented.

United Construction will carry out its first expansion this year according to the opinions and plans agreed upon by both sides.

The original Construction Engineering General Corporation will establish seven subordinate units, namely the Design and Research Institute, the Exploration and Research Institute, the First Engineering Company (Infrastructure, Port Building), the Second Engineering Company (Construction, Steel Structure), the Third Engineering Company (Installation, Decoration), the Fourth Engineering Company (Electricity, Transportation), and the Municipal Engineering Company, seven branches.

The share composition of the general company remains unchanged, still a Sino-foreign joint venture under the Group, just more professional.

The reason for expanding the three-level branches is mainly to facilitate the precise support of the Saint-Aya Group, from technology to funds and other aspects, to promote the rapid development of United Construction.

Therefore, even without the international standard hotel, the relevant cooperation plan would be negotiated. It can be seen that this first tallest building in China does not affect United Construction, but others.

Don't think that foreigners are all straightforward. The world is complex, and there is no such dog-shit talk as simple folk customs and no picking up things on the road.

Simple folk customs only appear in a society with stable public security, and no picking up things on the road only appears under the perspective of monitoring.

This French woman played twists and turns with him, Li Xuewu was not surprised at all, he had long tested the depth of the other party.

The documents submitted by United Construction are opinions seeking drafts for the Group to invest in the construction of equestrian clubs, football fields, tennis courts, badminton courts, basketball courts, table tennis courts and other sports facilities in the Liangma River Industrial Zone.

This was decided by Li Xuewu and Li Huai together earlier, and the construction company just asked for specific plans and construction requirements.

The Group building is very high, there is no need to waste the space and area of the roof. Tennis courts can be arranged, and even badminton and table tennis can be.

Of course, the equestrian club cannot be placed on the roof. This is an entertainment project that the Group has long had.

The horses of the equestrian club mainly come from the patrol team of the Security Section at the beginning, which can be considered a scenery of the ecological industrial zone.

To this day, the Security Section still retains the configuration of mounted police. The patrol team is uniformly dressed and mainly responsible for security patrols near the park, and even more cooperates with citizens who come to play to take pictures.

Actually, it can't be counted as a face project. Even in later generations, some areas still retain the establishment of mounted police, especially in the fields of tourism and humanistic construction.

Since the organizational structure reform of the Security Section, the form and content of work have undergone great changes.

For example, mounted police, originally all male comrades, now all replaced by female comrades, which shows characteristics that are more approachable and have aesthetics.

The Red Star Liangma River Ecological Industrial Zone has become a must-play scenic spot for citizens in the East City District. Here, you can't feel the stiffness brought by industry at all. The river is gurgling and tourists are weaving, more like an industrial theme park.

Li Xuewu wrote several opinions on the opinion book and made comments on the opinions given by other leaders.

He is the Group Secretary-General. This opinion basically reaches the last level here, and the rest is only Director Li. And Director Li just wants to see the Secretary-General's opinion.

How did that sentence go?

If the Secretary-General doesn't comment, Director Li finds it hard to write.

"Old Gou, together, are you going to eat too?"

Zhou Yongyuan pinched the lunch box in his hand and caught up with Gou Zhenbei, the director of the warehousing workshop walking in front.

This greeting not only attracted Gou Zhenbei's white eyes, but also made others who heard this greeting unable to help laughing.

Director Gou's surname has no problems in literal meaning and pronunciation, and will not cause reverie, but it can't stand being called fast, or being called with a little accent.

Those who don't know think it's called Old Gou, the key is that there is really this surname.

"I said, it's the end of the month—"

Zhou Yongyuan approached Gou Zhenbei, tapped the lunch box with his finger, and didn't care about Gou Zhenbei's attitude, reminding softly: "That person of ours has no reaction at all."

That person of ours, which person?

Who else could it be,

"I'm telling you, it's the end of the month—"

Zhou Yongyuan leaned close to Gou Zhenbei, tapped his lunch box with his finger, and without caring about Gou Zhenbei's attitude, reminded him in a low voice: "That person of ours hasn't had any reaction at all."

That person of ours, which person?

Who else could it be but their "mastermind," "big brother," Deputy Factory Director Yin, Yin Zhongyao.

This counts as a secret signal, a conventional specific term; it would definitely not be said wrong, nor would it be misunderstood.

He bumped Gou Zhenbei with his shoulder and reminded him: "It's fine if that person of ours doesn't make a move, but why is there no movement from that person either? Could it be that this wave of wind has just passed?"

That person? Which person.

Just like what was mentioned just now, that person also counts as a specific term, belonging to the category of "those who know, know."

That person naturally refers to the group's Secretary-General and metallurgical plant factory director, Li Xuewu.

"You say, with both this person and that person having no movement, is it possible that our person here is waiting for an opportunity?"

Zhou Yongyuan guessed very suspiciously: "Look, he has been back for so many days, and there is no reaction at all."

"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Gou Zhenbei turned his head to look at him and asked: "Do you want to create an opportunity for him?"

"Me? How much do I weigh? I'm not even enough to fill the gaps in someone's teeth." Zhou Yongyuan mocked himself, then raised his chin and said: "But it can't withstand the 'boiling oil on a hot fire'."

Gou Zhenbei looked forward following his gesture, and it was the audit working group queuing up for food.

"They've been here for almost a month; when will it ever end—"

Zhou Yongyuan stood beside him muttering, not afraid of others hearing, because they were long used to each other's voices; even if they couldn't hear clearly, they could guess clearly.

"Do you think the group has any intention of having a talk with the Secretary-General?" Gou Zhenbei curled his lip and said: "How come I can't see it."

"Nonsense, if even I can't see it, can you?" Zhou Yongyuan retorted unceremoniously; they were really grasshoppers on the same rope, not polite at all. He stared at the queue over there and said softly: "I don't think this fire will be burned out so easily."

"You think so? Hehe—"

Gou Zhenbei chuckled, shook his head slightly, and walked forward; it was his turn to get food.

It's no wonder Zhou Yongyuan was letting his imagination run wild. Li Xuewu's second fire had already been lit, and Yin Zhongyao had also taken the bait, but it was already the end of the month, and there was still no movement. Those of them who were watching the fun and didn't think the trouble was big enough felt that the matter was a bit small.

It doesn't matter if the matter is small, as long as it doesn't disappear.

Look, there were those with heavy curiosity and leisure; they had already opened a private bet, betting on whose fire would burn first.

Just when these people were getting impatient and wanted to test what Deputy Factory Director Yin was waiting for, on April 29th, Sun Jianhua, Deputy Manager of the Group Organization Work Department, and Zhou Zechuan, Director of the Discipline Inspection Division, suddenly arrived in Steel City.

The two first went to see Secretary-General Li Xuewu, and then, led by Office Director Liao Jinhui, went to see Deputy Factory Director Yin Zhongyao.

Just when everyone was guessing what big move the group had, Deputy Factory Director Yin walked out of the office with a gray face, his hands gathered together, holding clothes that circled his wrists, escorted by two young discipline inspection workers.

For a moment, the metallurgical plant's organs were solemn and quiet.
