Chapter 1587: Uncle, No Fish

"It doesn't make sense; you're too low-key."

Li Li Xuewu met Gao Gao Yaqin, who was also preparing to get off work, at the elevator entrance and couldn't help but tease her.

Gao Gao Yaqin rolled her eyes at him, handed the file bag in her hand to her secretary, Wang Da Qiang, who was behind her, raised her hand to signal Li Li Xuewu to go first, and replied, "You just can't stand the group being peaceful, right?"

"You make it sound like I'm happy to see it happen."

Li Li Xuewu laughed, took her arm, sent her into the elevator first, and then followed.

Don't look at the fact that she wasn't as tall as him, but she had no fewer tricks up her sleeve; she was digging a small pit for him here.

Don't talk about Western so-called gentlemanly etiquette of ladies first; didn't China have etiquette of mutual respect?

"Hey, seriously." He glanced at Gao Gao Yaqin beside him and asked, "Are you feeling a bit disheartened?"

"No, don't talk nonsense—"

Gao Gao Yaqin wouldn't fall into his pit; this bastard had a pit in every sentence, so one had to be twelve times more alert when talking to him.

"Hehehe—" Li Li Xuewu tilted his head and continued to tease, "I thought you really cared about this core group matter. I didn't expect you to be so relaxed."

Gao Gao Yaqin looked at him sideways, curled her lips, and said, "Speak if you have something to say, fart if you have something to fart—"

"I found that you and Deputy Director Su are a match."

She didn't have a good temper either; the toxicity of this mouth wasn't inferior to Li Li Xuewu's, "You two must have similar interests."

The elevator door opened. Secretaries Wang Da Qiang and Zhang Enyuan went out first and waited by the elevator.

After looking at Li Li Xuewu, she walked out of the elevator with the corners of her mouth pursed and added, "You two should sit together more; maybe you'll become friends."

"Heh, I'll take your word for it—"

Li Li Xuewu walked out of the elevator with her. It had been more than ten minutes since the off-work bell rang, but there were still many employees leaving work in the first-floor lobby.

Especially at the customs gate, the ordinary employee passage even showed slight queuing.

Of course, the leadership passage wouldn't have this situation; cadres above the deputy department level would basically leave within ten minutes of the off-work bell.

On the contrary, the group leaders located on the ninth floor would usually stretch for ten, twenty minutes, and sometimes half an hour was normal.

"Director Li! Li—"

Li Li Xuewu had just passed the leadership passage when he heard someone calling him. He turned his head and saw Liu Liu Guangqi standing there waving.

The security guards in the lobby had long since thought he was wrong, and seeing him shouting loudly, they rushed up fiercely.

Liu Liu Guangqi was also given a fright. Looking at Li Li Xuewu from the front, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and several security guards in uniforms rushed over from his left and right. His voice was about to crack.

"It's okay, a former neighbor."

Li Li Xuewu reached out and patted Zhang Enyuan, who was blocking in front of him, and explained softly to Gao Gao Yaqin and the others who had surprised expressions.

"You go first; I'll see what he wants."

He smiled and took Zhang Enyuan, who had a cautious expression, toward Liu Liu Guangqi, who was being held by the arms by the security guards.

"Li—"

"Alright, stop shouting." Li Li Xuewu looked him over and nodded to the security supervisor who was looking over.

"Secretary-General." The security supervisor also had a good eye; he knew from the other party's address that they might know each other.

But they definitely weren't too familiar; otherwise, he wouldn't have called him Director Li. That wasn't having a brain.

"How did you find your way here?"

Li Li Xuewu waved his hand and signaled Liu Liu Guangqi to follow. The employees leaving work in the lobby were all watching the fun.

Liu Liu Guangqi shook his shoulder, which had been pinched painfully by the security guard. He had almost died from that just now and had been scared to pee.

However, seeing the security guards dispersing, he still had lingering fears, shrank his neck, and quickly followed Li Li Xuewu.

"Sorry, Director Li. I originally wanted to go up to find you, but the security guards wouldn't let me up, saying I needed a pass."

"Hmm, tell me what you want." Li Li Xuewu had already walked out of the lobby. The evening breeze was blowing, and the smell of summer was in the smoke.

A black Shanghai-brand car was parked at the entrance, and the driver had already opened the car door for him and was waiting to the side.

Seeing this scene, Liu Liu Guangqi felt that if he didn't say something real, the other party would get in the car and leave.

He wanted to say it, but the bitterness in his heart was really hard to spit out. But he knew this was no different from seeking death.

Not to mention what kind of virtue Li Li Xuewu had before, even after he returned and entered the Rolling Mill, he hadn't planned to look at him straight.

What was so great about a small security department officer? Could he compare to his veteran office clerk?

Even if Li Li Xuewu didn't know what means he used to not only take down the inverted room and the west courtyard, but also get the property rights of Xu Xu Damao's house in the backyard, he was just jealous of the Li family's hypocrisy and had never envied Li Li Xuewu's status and success.

Of course, Li Li Xuewu wasn't as successful as him back then; he was the only one in the courtyard who was on the official path.

Even primary school teachers like Yan Yan Fugui had to stand aside. At least half of the glory and spirit his father Liu Liu Haizhong had in the courtyard was earned by him.

The degree of wealth in their family was also top-notch in the courtyard. Li Shun in the front courtyard earned more, but there were many people in the family, and expenses were high.

Another thing, several children in the Li family were studying, which was another huge expense.

At that time, people in the courtyard envied the Li family in their mouths, but they also whispered behind their backs about the school expenses for the Li family's three sons and one daughter.

Counting down from the old lady of the Li family, no one was particular about food or clothing. They looked ordinary, and even the lining of their cotton-padded jackets had patches, but they couldn't compare to the looseness of their family.

Don't look at the fact that their place was narrow; that wasn't caused by a lack of money. Who let the policy at that time be like that?

Even if you had more money, you wouldn't necessarily be able to rent a prince's mansion. His father was a senior worker in the factory; no matter how much money he earned, renting a room was enough. Unfortunately, there was no place to rent; the distribution was just those three rooms.

Saying the Li family was hypocritical was because Li Li Xuewu found a job as soon as he returned, with a house and a bicycle. Saying they were poor and had no money—who were they pretending to be poor for?

Wasn't this guarding against someone—

Anyway, in his view, the Li family, which had suddenly "made a fortune," was wrong everywhere, revealing a kind of hypocrisy.

As Li Li Xuewu's status gradually rose, and as the Li family's situation got better and better, he was even less willing to pay attention, lest people say he was deliberately fawning, which would be beneath him.

Especially after Li Li Xuewu sent his third brother to the police station, he hated the Li family's pose of being a whore while wanting to set up a memorial arch even more.

Wasn't it just bullying people with power? Seeing that their family was doing well, they deliberately bullied his father.

But thinking like that, he didn't dare to say it at the time, because with Liu Liu Guangfu's precedent, he didn't want to lose his job and squat in the police station for a few years.

Not to mention whether he had the guts, his wife and children were all counting on him for a living, so he didn't dare to gamble.

Until the Hongxing Factory developed, he set his sights on the three wing rooms in the courtyard, wanting to exchange them for residential buildings in the Workers' New Village.

If only he hadn't caught up with the good times!

When he thought like that, his second brother Liu Liu Guangtian had gone to Steel City, and his third brother Liu Liu Guangfu wasn't at home. He had almost coaxed his father to transfer the property to him. And the result?

The news of the property exchange came out, his third brother Liu Liu Guangfu came out, his mother and wife quarreled again, one wave after another; his dream of living in a new building was shattered.

When he left the courtyard, he thought that even his father and several younger brothers would be dead to each other in the future, let alone the Li family he was angry with.

He dared to say that he would never have any intersection with the Li family in his life.

Fortune plays tricks on people. The situation had changed day by day over the past few years, and his small office clerk was worth nothing.

It really made him have to beg Li Li Xuewu when he had to. Tell me, was God blind?

"Director Li, I want to beg you to handle something."

Liu Liu Guangqi handed over a pack of Big Da Qianmen cigarettes with a thick face and said with a flattering smile, "The child at home needs to transfer schools. Look..."

"You smoke it yourself." Li Li Xuewu reached out and pressed gently on the hand he was handing the cigarette with, explaining, "I quit early."

Liu Liu Guangqi was stunned. He still remembered that Li Li Xuewu liked smoking Big Da Qianmen the most and often threw cigarettes to his second and third brothers.

Just to curry favor with Li Li Xuewu, he had specifically gone to buy them. If it were for himself, he would only be willing to smoke the united ones.

"Heh—what time is this? I don't even know—" Liu Liu Guangqi smiled awkwardly and said, "Look at this trouble. It hasn't been long since we last met."

He was much older than Li Li Xuewu and two or three years older than Li Li Xuewen. They were never in the same circle since they were young.

By the time Li Li Xuewu was riding Yan Brother Jiecheng and beating him up, he was already in junior high school. He was the most arrogant in the courtyard.

No way, who let his father be awesome, and his family have money.

To be honest, Li Li Xuewu envied Liu Liu Guangqi, Liu Liu Guangtian, and Liu Liu Guangfu when he was young.

Don't look at the fact that Liu's second and third sons were often beaten, but their family never lacked good food; they were the ones who could afford eggs.

You have to know that those who could afford eggs in the courtyard in previous years weren't ordinary families. The key was that you might not be able to buy them even if you had children.

People in the courtyard all said that Liu Liu Haizhong had been like that since he was young, with small wine and good dishes never broken, and his wife tried to please him in every way, after all, he was the family's source of income.

Times have changed. Looking at Liu Liu Guangqi standing in front of him again, he felt he was much shorter than himself.

This was something Li Li Xuewu hadn't discovered before, or rather, had never paid attention to.

Liu's second son was honest, the third was cunning, and the eldest was what kind of goods, people in the courtyard knew in their hearts.

Liu Liu Guangqi hadn't been mixing for nothing all these years. One could tell from his speech that he knew how to flatter and frame people.

What was "it hasn't been long since we last met."

What did it mean? It was both climbing the relationship of old neighbors and hinting to Li Li Xuewu not to pretend not to recognize him just because they hadn't met for a few years.

"What did you just say?" Li Li Xuewu couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him and asked straightforwardly, "The child needs to transfer schools?"

"Yes, there's really no way." Liu Liu Guangqi explained very sincerely, "You also know what the situation is now. If you can't read to junior high school, you have to go to the countryside after primary school graduation, sigh—"

He sighed with emotion and said, "My wife can't bear to part with the child. Even if the child is promising and reads to junior high school, we aren't at ease. Coming out still means going to the countryside, right?"

"You just say it directly, no need to go around in circles."

Li Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and looked at him. At this moment, everyone who passed by him on their way off work would take the initiative to greet him.

He had to nod and respond, and also listen to Liu Liu Guangqi going around in circles; he really didn't have this time.

So he raised his hand and pointed at the other party, asking, "What do you mean by coming to find me?"

"My wife and I discussed wanting to transfer the child to the United School. This is to give him a chance to enter the factory in the future."

Liu Liu Guangqi looked at him pleadingly and said, "I don't have any connections here, so I thought of you. Look, help me out. As long as the United School is willing to accept him, we can transfer."

"There's a process for transferring schools, right?"

Li Li Xuewu turned his head and glanced at Zhang Enyuan. Seeing that he was also at a loss, he looked at Liu Liu Guangqi again.

He didn't know much about the situation of the United School now; he only paid more attention when it was first built.

At that time, the United School was very strict, almost screening students from all over Beijing and the locations of various branch factories.

Because it had independent schooling and stable resources for entering the factory, the enrollment quota was quite tight.

Except for the children of Hongxing Group employees, others transferring from other schools had to fight with their strength.

However, that was three or four years ago. Now the Hongxing Group's education system was already very perfect. He hadn't been to see it for a long time, at most just looking at the data in the briefing.

He didn't pay attention, and Zhang Enyuan was even more at a loss.

Zhang Enyuan was just a secretary. He needed to know daily office work, and he had time to prepare for temporary work. It was just that when asked suddenly, where could he go to check?

Besides, it was just a matter of a student transferring schools.

And precisely because of this, the look in Zhang Enyuan's eyes when looking at the person in front of him also revealed hidden impatience.

The daily official business handled by the Secretary-General was all reported by deputy department level and above. Where would he come into contact with primary school students' affairs? Wasn't this using a cannon to hit a mosquito?

Liu Liu Guangqi of course knew what the process was. He wanted Li Li Xuewu to take over the conversation so he could agree to him, rather than playing dumb.

However, he couldn't see whether Li Li Xuewu was playing dumb or really didn't know the situation, and it was hard to swallow in his heart.

"There is a process..." He hesitated and explained, "But to apply for a transfer, you have to take an exam..."

"Then just take the exam—"

Li Li Xuewu looked him over and asked, "What? Do you want me to open a back door for you to arrange him directly?"

"..." This question immediately stumped Liu Liu Guangqi. He was thinking that, but he couldn't say it directly, right?

In the public eye, with all these people around watching, he was considered a cadre, so how could he say such words?

"Let me tell you, there's no way."

Li Li Xuewu waved his hand and said seriously, "Don't say it's you; even my daughter didn't do it this way."

He nodded and emphasized, "If you have this heart, then encourage the child to study hard and pass the exam. Don't think about these crooked ways."

"No—" Liu Liu Guangqi frowned and explained, "I belong to other unit employees. If one parent works in the factory, or... that would be simple."

"Oh—" Li Li Xuewu suddenly understood. It turned out that the United School was still executing the standards of a few years ago.

Children of Hongxing Group employees have priority for enrollment; this is the most basic guarantee for employee welfare.

Of course, if the parents can have a relationship with the Hongxing Group, it can also be easier to transfer.

What relationship?

You can tell by the name: United Education School. As long as there is a deep cooperation with the Hongxing Group, you can apply.

For example, the Dongcheng Branch, for example, the Wei Third Regiment, Beijing Chemical, Beijing Second Auto, etc., all have actual interest involvement.

After all, the graduates of the United Education School don't all enter the Hongxing Group to work.

Two channels: children of Hongxing Group employees naturally choose to enter the group to work, and children of employees of other united units also choose to work in the units where their parents are.

The Hongxing Group is quite special. In the process of recruiting new employees, it will choose relatively excellent graduates for recruitment.

This involves assessment and selection.

Because it is independent schooling, it has absolute advantages. Graduates officially graduate in June, but the Hongxing Group starts the selection and recruitment work in May.

That is to say, almost all graduates can apply for assessment. Even if they aren't recruited, they can go to the units where their parents are in June, or take the exam to enter other units.

Whether it's children of Hongxing Group employees, children of employees of other united units, or graduates who have nothing to do with it, they all have a fair competitive environment and opportunities.

When enrolling, they will take care of children of employees and children of employees of united units, but they are treated equally when recruiting.

Now looking at Liu Liu Guangqi's situation, he doesn't touch anything. He just wants to find Li Li Xuewu to "touch" it.

This is purely a joke.

If he really wanted to operate like this, Liu Liu Guangqi would be safe, looking like there was no situation, but what about him?

If he wanted to arrange for a student, wouldn't it just be a matter of one sentence? Did he need to take off his pants to fart?

Besides, the one who should take off his pants to fart should be Liu Liu Guangqi!

"You said you wanted to handle a transfer for the child."

Li Li Xuewu pointed his finger at him and asked, "Does your father know about this?"

He stared at the other party's eyes and said, "If the child goes through your father and Liu Liu Guangtian's relationship, it should be very easy, right?"

"Even if the uncle-nephew relationship doesn't count on the United Education side, the grandfather-grandson relationship must count, right? Are you seeking far away?"

"That..." Liu Liu Guangqi lowered his head, stammering, and it was a good while before he said, "It's not convenient on my father's side."

"Are you talking nonsense with me?"

Li Li Xuewu frowned and stared at him, asking, "Tell me, how long has it been since you went to see your father?"

Liu Liu Guangqi couldn't answer. He could use a long time to describe it, or he could falsely say it hadn't been long, or directly lie to Li Li Xuewu and say he had just gone to visit yesterday.

However, he didn't dare. Standing in front of Li Li Xuewu, under the powerful aura, he suddenly found that he didn't dare to lie.

"You—" Li Li Xuewu let out a long breath from his nostrils, looked at him with dissatisfaction, and said, "What should I say about you?"

"If we talk about it from afar, we can be considered to have grown up in the same courtyard. If we talk about it from near, I really don't want to talk about you."

He pointed and asked, "Your parents gave birth to you and raised you once. If Liu Liu Guangtian and Liu Liu Guangfu were standing here, I wouldn't say these words. They were beaten since they were young, but you weren't."

"Second Uncle and Second Aunt held you up to the sky, treating you like a treasure, thinking of you for everything good. You've grown up, married, and have children. What are you thinking?"

Li Li Xuewu's voice suddenly became serious, and he lectured, "I'm not qualified, and I don't want to manage your family's affairs, but I'm telling you, you're nothing to talk about in my place."

"No matter how donkey-like Liu Liu Guangtian is, he still knew to mail tonics to his mother every month before, and he still knew to come back and see them during festivals."

He stared at the other party with dissatisfaction and said, "No matter how much of a piece of trash Liu Liu Guangfu is, he still knows how to earn money to support his parents and send them off. You, Liu Liu Guangqi, are the eldest son of the family. What are you thinking?"

The little things in his own family were all pointed out by Li Li Xuewu. Liu Liu Guangqi's face was flushed, red and white.

Li Li Xuewu didn't want to leave any face. He said straightforwardly, "If you have any thoughts about the friction between brothers, don't tell me you can't go home, can't see your own father, and can't worship your own mother."

The more he looked at him, the angrier he got. Li Li Xuewu didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, stepped into the car, and after the driver closed the car door, he rolled down the window and said, "Go home and beg your father for the child's matter."

After saying this, the car window rolled up again. He didn't want to say another word, and didn't even want to see him.

Zhang Enyuan stared deeply at Liu Liu Guangqi, opened the passenger door, and told the driver to start the car.

The black car slid toward the exit. Liu Liu Guangqi stood in place, his face as red as if he had been slapped a hundred times.

"Who sent the fish?"

As soon as Li Li Xuewu entered the courtyard, he saw Li Shu and Li Ning squatting by the faucet, stirring the water in a large basin with their hands.

He just wanted to remind the sister and brother not to get cold and catch a cold, but when he walked closer, he found there were several fish in the basin.

Don't say, the size of these fish wasn't small, the scales on their bodies were black, and their mouths were opening and closing, full of spirit. Looking at them, they weren't raised in a pond; they were definitely wild.

"Who else could have sent them." An annoying voice appeared in the foyer, a bit smug, a bit arrogant.

"Why are you back again?" Li Li Xuewu raised his head and unexpectedly found Ji Wang Weidong standing there, dressed very flamboyantly.

"Sister—" A little boy ran out of the foyer, pulling up his pants as he ran, and shouted at the same time, "Sister, I've finished pooping, let me touch them."

"..." Li Li Xuewu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, silently reciting "the father's fault for not teaching the son," and raised his head to look at Ji Wang Weidong.

At this time, Ji Wang Weidong also felt like he had lost face. Looking at his son's behavior, he wished he could pinch his mouth shut.

"Heh, so Boda is here."

Li Li Xuewu was truly damaging, damaging to the core. He walked over, smiled, looked at Ji Wang Weidong's son, and said, "Where is your mother?"

"Mom is in the room—Hello, Uncle—"

Ji Bufan raised his head, only then discovering that Uncle had returned, and greeted him very politely.

"Don't call him Uncle; he doesn't have the look of an uncle."

Ji Wang Weidong stood on the steps with his hands in his pockets, looking at Li Li Xuewu sideways with no good look, full of resentment.

"Hehehe—" Li Li Xuewu didn't care at all. Who let the old Taoist priest who raised Ji Wang Weidong choose such a name.

"Did you sneak back?"

He walked up the steps, looked at him, and asked, "Don't your leaders manage you? How many times have you run back in a month?"

"What do you mean how many times in a month? I haven't been back for almost four months. Can't I come home to see?"

Ji Wang Weidong took out a cigarette case and shook it, flicked a cigarette into his mouth, and just as he wanted to light it with a lighter, he vigilantly discovered that someone was staring at him from the octagonal window of the dining room.

"Damn, smoking a cigarette is against the law."

That was all the ability he had left; he didn't even dare to complain loudly, muttering like a woman.

"If you want to smoke, go outside the main gate to smoke."

Han Han Yating pushed open the window, frowned, and said to him, "Didn't you see the children playing in the courtyard?"

"I won't smoke then." Ji Wang Weidong stuffed the cigarette back into the case in a fit of pique, curled his lips, and said, "Smoking is against the law."

Han Han Yating couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him, looked at Li Li Xuewu, and greeted him with a smile, "Secretary-General."

"Hmm, making dumplings?"

Seeing flour on her hands, Li Li Xuewu asked with a smile.

Han Han Yating raised her chin and explained with a smile, "Your Li Shu said she was craving dumplings, and also said she hadn't eaten them for ten years."

"Heh—" Li Li Xuewu also laughed. This girl started using words randomly as soon as she learned time vocabulary.

If she wanted to say something, adjectives would come to mind. How old was she? She hadn't eaten dumplings for ten years.

"What about these fish? Eating dumplings and fish?"

Li Li Xuewu walked into the foyer, put down the bag in his hand, took off the jacket he was wearing outside, and asked, "When did you arrive?"

"After four o'clock in the afternoon. I knew you weren't at home."

Ji Wang Weidong stood at the entrance talking to him, his eyes always watching the children; he was quite careful.

Don't look at the fact that Han Han Yating and the others were also staring from the octagonal window of the dining room, but where could it be as convenient as his side.

"Why didn't you call in advance before coming, so I could have some preparation."

Li Li Xuewu changed into the cloth shoes he usually wore, walked into the living room, and made himself a cup of tea. Passing by the dining room, he saw Er Ya rolling dumpling skins inside, and Zhao Zhao Ya Ping and Han Han Yating wrapping dumplings.

"I was afraid you would hide if I called in advance."

Ji Wang Weidong's tone of voice was always annoying, relying on his brother-in-law being Li Li Xuewu's own younger brother, holding the Emperor hostage to command the vassals, not afraid of Li Li Xuewu's revenge.

"Can you three eat me poor?"

Li Li Xuewu laughed and walked to the phone, picked it up, and asked for the branch bureau.

At this time, Ji Ji Yuxiu was very likely off work, but calling Li Xuecai wasn't necessarily reliable; the hospital was quite busy now.

"I'm looking for Ji Ji Yuxiu; help me see if she's still there."

Being able to call into the branch bureau and ask for the name of the Security Li Kezhang upon opening one's mouth, the duty personnel also knew it in their hearts.

After a good while, the other end of the phone replied, saying Li Kezhang Ji was off work and not there.

Li Li Xuewu didn't say much, and called home again. The old lady in the inverted room answered the phone.

After a few words of explanation, he called the group's security department again. This time, he found Zhou Yao.

With Gu Yan away, Zhou Yao had more time and energy to use on work; she was more diligent than ordinary cadres.

Li Li Xuewu had been home for a good while, and when he called, she was still in the office. Think about how hard she worked.

"Come home for dinner, making dumplings."

"Secretary-General?" Zhou Yao was stunned, recognized his voice, and then said with a smile, "Brother, why so sudden?"

"Is it sudden to call you to eat dumplings?"

Li Li Xuewu said amusedly, "I guessed you were at work. Alright, don't work hard today, hurry up, they're all family."

Zhou Yao on the other end of the phone didn't refuse and responded with a smile.

With Gu Yan not at home, there was basically no hope of others calling her out for dinner. She either ate at the unit or went back to her parents' home. With her personality, she wouldn't be willing to spend time going out to have fun with friends.

She was like this, and Zhao Zhao Yajun was the same.

Li Li Xuewu called Li Xuecai and his wife, called his brother-in-law's wife Zhou Yao, and naturally couldn't leave out Zhao Zhao Yajun and his wife.

Although Zhao Zhao Yajun wasn't his brother-in-law, he was his eldest brother's brother-in-law, and the relative relationship couldn't compare to the closeness of getting along.

Another thing, Wang Lu had a lively personality and didn't feel like an outsider at all when coming home, whether it was with him or Gu Ning, she was very close.

Don't talk about him, this leader; even going to the main courtyard, she was close to Zhao Zhao Yafang, and close to Mother Liu Yin and the old lady.

The old lady said, saying this girl was honest and blessed.

She wasn't a fortune teller, so how could she see she was blessed? It was still seen from her personality.

With Wang Lu's temper and heart, with the family background and relationship taking care of her, where could she be annoying?

However, he didn't call the Security General Team. Wang Lu wasn't the kind of person who would treat herself badly. As soon as the off-work bell rang, she would definitely not work overtime for a minute.

Zhao Zhao Yajun was quite diligent, especially now that he was leading a team, and he worked overtime quite often.

Often, Wang Lu would get off work on time, go to the Security General Team's station to wait for him to finish, and then the young couple would go home together.

So when the phone found Zhao Zhao Yajun and he said two sentences, the sound of Wang Lu chirping came from that end, shouting that she would be there immediately.

"Who is it?" Ji Wang Weidong watched the children playing well, his ears listening to him make several calls, walked to the foyer, and asked, "Who else did you call?"

"My eldest brother's brother-in-law and his wife." Li Li Xuewu put down the phone, picked up the teacup, and took a sip, "They all work in the group."

"Is it Zhao Zhao Yajun?" Han Han Yating took the conversation from the dining room, "He's working in the Security Team now?"

"Hmm, married the year before last." Li Li Xuewu put down the teacup and said, "His partner is called Wang Lu, now in the labor union."

"Oh, I know." Hearing this name, Han Han Yating couldn't help but say with a smile, "Quite famous."

"Heh—"

Li Li Xuewu naturally knew what she meant. Wang Lu's reputation as a non-famous matchmaker was quite loud.

"Wrap more dumplings, there are quite a few people."

He looked at the time, walked into the dining room, looked at Zhao Zhao Ya Ping, and asked, "Do you know where your Qin sister lives?"

"I know, Second Brother." Zhao Zhao Ya Ping put down the dumpling in her hand and looked over.

Li Li Xuewu nodded and said, "You ride your bike and go there, call them over for dinner."

"Oh my, how many dumplings will this take."

Er Ya was startled when she heard there were so many people, and said with a wry smile, "We won't be able to eat dumplings even in the middle of the night."

"Many hands make light work." Li Li Xuewu raised his chin and said, "Qin Qin Jingru's house isn't far from here. If she comes to support you, it will be fast."

Li Li Xuewu was so careful in handling things; who to call and who not to call, he had a count in his heart from Ji Wang Weidong's meaning.

Calling Ji Ji Yuxiu and his wife, but not calling his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Although he didn't call his eldest brother and sister-in-law, he called Zhao Zhao Yajun and his wife, plus Zhao Zhao Ya Ping, could his sister-in-law pick out a reason?

This was originally Ji Wang Weidong's instigation. Seeing the children growing up day by day, Han Han Yating could also let go, wanting to build a bridge for his wife to integrate into Li Li Xuewu's relationship network as soon as possible.

He didn't need to say this purpose; Li Li Xuewu could see it. Han Han Yating's past relationships were still those people in the security section back then.

Later, she went to the International Hotel, and now to the publishing house, her relationship network was relatively narrow, and she had become distant from Li Li Xuewu's side.

Ji Wang Weidong and Li Li Xuewu were the same, a kind of monkey-refined character who didn't stick to hair. After chatting with his wife, he knew what to do.

Han Han Yating was ultimately unable to let go, and unable to open up, especially in front of Li Li Xuewu, where did she dare to talk about pulling relationships.

Ji Wang Weidong didn't care. His relationship with Li Li Xuewu was quite complicated; he said what he had to say directly, without going around in circles.

Wasn't it about wanting a relationship network? Just come to the house directly, and just mention calling everyone who could be called. Recognizing them here was equivalent to tacitly agreeing that they were people in the same circle. Wasn't it saving trouble?

Then who to call became a problem.

Li Li Xuewu called Zhou Yao, called Zhao Zhao Yajun and Wang Lu, called Li Xuecai and Ji Ji Yuxiu, and also called Han Han Jiankun and Qin Qin Jingru. It seemed there weren't many important roles, but they were all important.

If there was any matter, Li Li Xuewu could hand over his home to these people, which would definitely make him feel at ease.

Here, perhaps Qin Qin Jingru was the least conspicuous, but she had been here for a long time and got along best with Gu Ning.

Han Han Jiankun was also Li Li Xuewu's former driver, absolutely his confidant. So his arrangements were all intentional.

Just as Er Ya sighed, this meal of dumplings was quite hard to eat. Counting them, there were thirteen adults and four children.

If it weren't for the fish and other dishes, just eating dumplings would take hundreds, and half a bag of flour would be gone.

"Can you cook fish?"

Li Li Xuewu and Ji Wang Weidong couldn't help, so they were left with the task of watching the children, and simply took two chairs and sat in the courtyard.

Ji Wang Weidong looked at the three children, looking at them with affection, not caring even if they splashed cold water on him.

"I can't cook fish; I only know how to eat."

He turned his head and glanced at Li Li Xuewu, "You wouldn't think that because I manage a port, I must know how to cook seafood, right?"

"That's not possible." Li Li Xuewu said lightly, "You also managed the investigation section before."

"What do you mean?" Ji Wang Weidong reacted quickly, glanced at him sideways, turned his head, and said to Li Shu, "Daughter, how about being my daughter-in-law when you grow up?"

"No." Li Shu pressed her hand on the fish head, raised her head, glanced at the little brat squatting beside her, and really looked down on him a bit.

She looked down on those who cried in kindergarten, so could she look down on Ji Bufan who hadn't even gone to kindergarten?

Ji Bufan didn't know what was going on, his mind was all on the big fish in the water basin, watching his sister play.

He was younger than Li Ning by a few months, but he spoke quite fluently. Gu Ning said Han Han Yating had a way of teaching children.

While they were chatting, Han Han Jiankun and his wife brought their child in. Living close, they came fast.

"Brother, when did you get back?"

Qin Qin Jingru's lively personality, and her voice was bright. Seeing Ji Wang Weidong also in the courtyard, she greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Director Ji."

"Qin Jingru—"

Ji Wang Weidong hadn't thought of her at first. He used to see her often when coming to Li Li Xuewu's house, but hadn't spoken many times. It was Li Li Xuewu who arranged for Zhao Zhao Ya Ping to call people, and only after listening to his explanation did he remember this little nanny.

"Oh, you've become rich."

"You're the one who knows how to praise people." Qin Qin Jingru put down the child in her hand and introduced her to Han Han Jiankun who was pushing the bicycle behind her, "This is Director Ji, Wu Brother's best friend."

"We've met." Ji Wang Weidong stood up with Li Li Xuewu. Seeing Han Han Jiankun coming over, he reached out and shook hands.

He was here to support Han Han Yating, so he wouldn't look down on the relationship network around Li Li Xuewu.

Even if it was just a small driver, he was Li Li Xuewu's driver.

"Hello, Director Ji."

"Hey, just call me whatever in private."

Ji Wang Weidong smiled and patted his arm, "Call me Big Brother, call me by name, don't be so distant."

He also signaled to Li Li Xuewu, "You don't have to be nervous at your leader's house; we're all our own people."

"Heh—" Li Li Xuewu laughed lightly and didn't speak. He really didn't treat himself as an outsider, and could even speak for him.

However, these words weren't false; they were indeed their own people.

"Brother, are you watching the children?"

Qin Qin Jingru had the best eye for things. Seeing the two sitting there, and the children playing, she knew what she should do as soon as Han Chen Lidong came over and squatted beside her sister Li Shu.

"You guys chat, I'll go in and help."

"Go, go, just waiting for your support." Ji Wang Weidong smiled, "We'll clean up the fish in a while."

"No need for you to reach out, let Han Jiankun do it."

Qin Qin Jingru still had that old energy. As long as she entered the door of this house, she could order Han Han Jiankun to do this and that.

Actually, this couple was quite honest. Don't look at the fact that Han Han Jiankun was already a deputy section-level cadre in the unit, but he was often ordered by Qin Qin Jingru to come here to help.

There were all female comrades in this house. Er Ya could do some heavy work, but it just wasn't as good as Han Han Jiankun.

Qin Qin Jingru didn't come for three days, and was early for five days. Li Li Xuewu wasn't at home, so she grew up here.

She didn't need Li Li Xuewu to pay her wages; she habitually treated this place as her maiden home. If there was work, it was naturally Han Han Jiankun's.

The house maintenance was good, and the firewood preparation was also fine. It was the vegetable garden. Han Han Jiankun had helped turn the soil for the past few years.

Actually, Er Ya could do it, but the children were noisy, and she could see Qin Qin Jingru's sincerity, so she didn't have so many petty thoughts.

Er Ya used to be afraid, afraid that Qin Qin Jingru would come back, and she would have to go home. Who could bear this kind of life now?

"Smoking?" Ji Wang Weidong teased, took out a cigarette case from his pocket, signaled to Han Han Jiankun, and said, "Whatever, but you have to go outside the main gate to smoke. This is the rule of your leader's house."

"Thank you, Director Ji, I just threw it away."

Han Han Jiankun smiled, took the initiative to go into the room to take the scissors, changed his clothes, and came to clean the fish.

"Ah!"

Li Shu was the first not to agree. She was playing well with the fish, and now they were going to use a knife?

"Uncle, no fish, okay?"

She begged for mercy pitifully, "Look how cute they are, isn't it a pity to eat them."

"Uncle, no fish—"

Li Ning followed his sister and stood up, reaching out his little hand to stop him, and Ji Bufan also joined in the fun.

Han Chen Lidong didn't know what was going on. She had just arrived, staring with wide eyes, what was Dad doing? ===== CHAPTER 1588 =====

"Thank you, Director Ji, I just threw it."

Han Han Jiankun smiled, took the initiative to go into the room to get the scissors, changed his clothes, and was about to come over to clean the fish.

"Ah!"

Li Shu was the first to object; she was having a good time playing with the fish, so why were they going to use a knife now?

"Uncle, can we not eat the fish, please?"

She pleaded pitifully, "Look at how cute they are; it would be such a pity to eat them."

"Uncle, don't eat the fish—"

Li Ning stood up after his sister, stretching out his little hands to stop him, and Ji Bufan joined in the fun as well.

Han Chen Lidong didn't know what was going on yet; she had just arrived and was staring with wide eyes, wondering what her father was about to do.
