Chapter 1625: Tricked onto a Pirate Ship

"Hmm, you've arrived in Beijing?"

Li Xuewu received a call from his third uncle's younger brother, Li Xuehan. Calculating the time, the procedures should have been completed.

Cross-regional transfers were basically impossible without a legitimate reason and appropriate connections.

Of course, for some people, these were not problems, but the significance for Li Xuehan was different.

On the phone, his younger brother's tone was much lower, carrying deep sadness in his words, but he had also matured a lot.

"Thanks to Political Commissar Wang, otherwise I would have been delayed for another week."

Li Xuehan knew that these people could help him not because he was capable, nor because of the connections his father left behind, but because of his second brother.

When he came, he didn't know what kind of team he was about to be transferred into, but after completing the transfer procedures and walking into the garrison compound, he knew that the regiment his second brother arranged for him to come to was not ordinary.

Or rather, after arriving in Beijing, the atmosphere and living environment he felt had undergone a complete change, from the accent of the speech to the climatic environment, and even the first meal he ate in the canteen.

"Study and train well; don't think about anything else."

Li Xuewu was reviewing documents; several factories had submitted applications to update safety production equipment and facilities, especially fire-fighting facilities.

Affected by the No. 4 furnace, the group's Quality and Safety Department had been keeping a close eye on the industrial park since the beginning of the year, with constant inspections and unannounced visits, exams, and spot checks, as if they would vent their anger on everyone if they couldn't find any problems.

"I know, Second Brother; I've caused you trouble."

"We are one family; don't talk about two families. Since you're here, that's it." Li Xuewu said while working: "Let the past be the past."

Li Xuehan was silent. How could he forget his mother's behavior? He felt like he was struck by lightning the moment he heard the news.

Even though the person his biological mother remarried was his father's comrade-in-arms, it had only been a few months, and his father's bones were not yet cold; how could he understand that?

This was also the reason why he insisted on returning to Beijing regardless of his mother's persuasion, and he had even cut off communication with her.

"Have you been home to see your eldest aunt and eldest uncle?"

Li Xuewu could hear the sadness behind his silence, so he changed the subject, trying his best to enlighten him.

Young people always had many thoughts, especially after encountering changes; their personalities would inevitably change, which was the most helpless thing.

He could only do his best to provide support and help.

"Hmm, eldest aunt made pancakes for me to eat."

Li Xuehan sniffed, as if he was wiping away tears, but insisted on restraining his emotions, even though Li Xuewu could hear his choking on the phone.

"Eldest brother and third brother sent me to the unit."

He tried hard to introduce the warmth his family gave him after coming here, "Li Shu is very sensible, Li Ning and Li Tang are very sensible, and there is Li Yue."

"Hehe—" Li Xuewu listened to his stumbling efforts and asked with a smile, pretending not to know: "Is Li Yue also very sensible?"

"Hehe—" Li Xuehan on the other end of the phone explained embarrassedly: "I came in a hurry and didn't bring anything for my nephews and nieces."

"Hmm, you will work and live in Beijing from now on; there will be times for you to spend money." Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Not to mention those little monkeys like Li Shu, even Li Yue is growing up soon. Wait for your wallet to suffer."

"Hehe—" Li Xuehan didn't speak, just laughed.

Actually, this little brother was quite righteous and honest, with a righteous father like his third uncle as a role model and a mother like Hong Min to restrain him. Li Xuewu had never seen the naughtiness and mischief he once had in him.

This personality made Li Xuewu feel even more sorry for him, so he talked a bit more and for a longer time on the phone.

"I went to your house." Li Xuehan explained: "Eldest brother and sister-in-law, third brother and sister-in-law, we went together."

"Hmm, did you eat anything good?" Li Xuewu asked with a smile, teasing him like a child: "Is your second sister-in-law stingy?"

"No—" Li Xuehan smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law is very nice and even bought me new clothes."

"Hahaha—" Li Xuewu said with a light smile: "Okay, not in vain. Come home more often when you have holidays in the future; this will always be your home."

"I know, Second Brother." Li Xuehan replied. He knew his second brother was busy with work and had talked for so long without noticing.

Before hanging up, he reminded his second brother: "Eldest uncle and eldest aunt set off for my second eldest uncle's house today; they should be on the road now."

"Hmm, I know." Li Xuewu had long known his parents' itinerary, and at this moment, he asked one more question, "Have you seen your father?"

"—Hmm." The tone was lower, but Li Xuewu still had to give a few instructions: "Don't think too much. Now that you are closer to your father, go see him when you miss him; he must miss you very much too."

"Hmm—" The voice on the other end of the phone was very suppressed, trying hard to hold back tears and striving to agree to his instructions.

"Study and train well." Li Xuewu also sighed and said: "If you have any difficulties, tell the leader or call me."

"I know, Second Brother; I won't disturb your work."

"Good."

Li Xuewu hung up the phone and sighed again. Perhaps a man can only truly grow up after shedding tears a few times.

Mentioning the matter of his second uncle's family, Li Xueli set the wedding date for National Day, a festive day with holidays, convenient for relatives and friends to gather.

If it were up to his second uncle's original intention, he wouldn't have made a big fuss, but he felt sorry for the in-laws; after all, there was no problem between the two children.

The reason he didn't want to make a big fuss was that his main family was not in Jicheng, and it was not easy for relatives in Beijing to come once.

On the contrary, his father-in-law had many relatives and old friends here, and with only one daughter, Han Xiumei, how could he not take care of their family.

He was able to gain a foothold in forestry; to say there was no support and help from his father-in-law, how many nails could a poor boy hit even if he were made of iron?

Speaking of which, his father-in-law's family was quite kind to him, not to mention the care in work and life. In fact, as a son-in-law who married into the family, there was no attitude of disrespect, and this family had been under his control from the beginning.

The two children grew up in front of their grandmother and grandfather. If the matter was handled in a stifling way, the two old people who had lived here for a lifetime would not be able to save face.

Even if he could use the serious atmosphere of the situation and other reasons to cover it up, or directly reveal the truth, he couldn't change the reality of etiquette and face.

Either do it big, or postpone it; there was no choice.

According to his father-in-law and the in-laws, even with the seriousness of the situation, it didn't say that young men and women were not allowed to celebrate their wedding.

Jicheng was thousands of miles away from Beijing, and forestry and railways were relatively closed systems, so they really didn't care much about these formal requirements.

So, knowing what was going on, Li Shun and Liu Yin decided to go north to represent the Li family's eldest branch to attend their nephew's wedding.

Li Xuewu was close, and with his second uncle personally inviting him last time, he had to go; otherwise, his second uncle would overthink and think he still cared about the matter of his eldest sister and brother-in-law.

The reason he told his little brother he knew his parents' itinerary was that his parents would first arrive in Steel City to meet him, and then the three of them would go to Jicheng together.

His son had been working in Steel City for almost two years, and the old couple hadn't come to see him yet. This time, it was on the way, which could be considered caring for their son.

No matter how busy Li Xuewu was with work, he remembered to arrange for his parents.

Therefore, on the morning of the second day, after the train pulled into the station, Qi Yan was already waiting on the platform.

If Qi Yan hadn't been holding a sign, and if they hadn't known the carriage number in advance, the two sides might have really missed each other.

Driven by the development of the industrial park, Steel City's industry ushered in development opportunities. The route from Beijing to Steel City often had employees of the industrial park and their family members commuting.

If employees working in Steel City didn't settle their families in Steel City, the group would reimburse round-trip train tickets according to the holiday time.

Of course, the group also provided another way of commuting, which was the passenger ship traveling between Steel City and Beijing.

At the end of September, the weather turned cool, which was a good time for travel, and there were many short-distance passengers. Qi Yan found Li Shun and his wife, confirmed each other's identities, and led them along the exit.

Li Shun and Liu Yin didn't mind at all that it wasn't their son Li Xuewu who came to pick them up. They didn't want their son to delay his work because of their arrival.

Even seeing Qi Yan use the high-end sedan they had seen in Beijing to pick them up, Li Shun felt awkward in his heart.

It wasn't that he was high-minded and selfless, but he was worried that his son would cause trouble because of their arrival.

There was no one in the world who hoped for Li Xuewu's safety and health more than they did as parents, even if they had to pay a little more themselves.

It was just that this worry and concern turned into annoyance and embarrassment when they arrived at the Guanshan Road villa and saw Yu Li waiting at home.

This was not treating themselves as outsiders!

He wasn't talking about Yu Li, but his son, and himself!

He also knew what kind of character his son had; he hadn't managed him less before, and even used family law.

In the situation where he couldn't educate him well, he dared to send his son south to follow his third uncle to join the army in this era.

But even after experiencing so much, the second son had grown up and had a sense of responsibility, but his nature hadn't changed—he just liked women!

If you say he's a romantic seed, he still has principles and has never had any accidents outside. The only child who wasn't born to a daughter-in-law, Li Shu, was a bitter child picked up when he first came back.

Who exactly gave birth to such a son who had a bottom line but no principles?

If it weren't for looking at the photos, the father and son looked almost the same when they were young, he would have been so angry that he would have doubted whether this was his own seed.

He didn't have such romantic thoughts when he was young; there were three sons in the family, and this strange flower came out.

Yes, he was old now, left with only the name of the head of the family, and the power had long been assumed by the eldest daughter-in-law and the second son.

But! Things shouldn't be done like this. Even if they arranged a guesthouse for the old couple, or let Yu Li endure it, why not treat them as outsiders?

Even though he was the father, he couldn't stand his son being so arrogant!

Unfortunately, he was ultimately a father who had lost the authority of the head of the family, left with only one way to confront his son: making a face.

But Liu Yin didn't want Yu Li to suffer grievances. Although she liked Gu Ning's generosity and personality more, she also pitied Yu Li's sensibility and cuteness.

She was the mother; she could teach her son a lesson and say her son was insensible, but she couldn't make a face at Yu Li.

So when she saw Yu Li welcoming them in the courtyard, noticing Li Shun's stiff face, she poked him without a trace.

Behind Yu Li's back, she gave him a look and whispered to him not to make things difficult for her; the fault could only be the son's fault.

What else could Li Shun say, what else could he do!

Except for a sigh, facing Yu Li's enthusiasm and busyness, and the intimate address of uncle and aunt from time to time, what else could he say.

They arrived in the morning. Yu Li didn't go to work but tidied up the guest room and the house, and prepared a table of good dishes and meals, so the old couple didn't lift a finger after entering the house, and rested after eating.

In the afternoon, Yu Li went to work very sensibly, leaving the house for the old couple to visit and adapt, with just the right amount of intimacy and relaxation, making it hard to dislike her.

"Have you been in Yingcheng for so long?"

Li Xuewu didn't go to pick up his parents because Bai Changmin and his team came to Steel City, and he had to receive them.

He originally intended to go to Yingcheng, meet up with Xu Sinian, and then return to Fengcheng together, but Bai Changmin and the others had new ideas after inspecting Yingcheng.

"I went back once and came later."

Bai Changmin pointed to the Chief Engineer Huang Yongjie and Office Director Liu Yongtao and explained: "Old Huang and Old Liu have been in Yingcheng."

This was not Beijing, nor was it their unit; it was just Li Xuewu's office, so his tone was very relaxed.

It could be said that at this time, Beijing Chemical was on the same boat as the Red Steel Group represented by Li Xuewu, and he had nothing to avoid.

If they didn't work together at this time, and had other intentions or tricks, it would be a dream to achieve group formation in such a severe environment.

Another important point was that his understanding of the Red Steel Group was very clear. The object of cooperation he and Beijing Chemical represented was not necessarily the entire Red Steel Group, nor was it necessarily all of the Red Steel Group; the difference here was great.

Honestly, if there were no interest-driven factors, he wouldn't have worked so hard to promote Beijing Chemical's group formation.

You could say he was seeking fame and profit, but he was working for the organization, and it was normal to have his own pursuit while achieving organizational results.

Conversely, it was the same; there were fame and profit struggles on his side, not to mention the Red Steel Group, where the organizational ecological environment was more complex.

The scale of this project was very large, equivalent to building a tertiary industry on the basis of a factory larger than the original Red Star Factory, to promote and form a larger group company.

They were referring to the formation of the Red Steel Group, planning and predicting the scale of the future Beijing Chemical Group, which was definitely larger than the Red Steel Group.

Of course, in terms of profitability, cross-regional industrial development, finance, foreign trade, channels, and even the stability and composition of the industrial structure, it was not as good as the Red Steel Group.

But it could still be seen how many people's interests were involved in this project, and Li Xuewu wouldn't be without pressure here.

From the outside, and from within the Red Steel Group.

At this time, did he trust the Red Steel Group represented by Li Xuewu, or did he trust any representative of the Red Steel Group?

This was not a difficult question to answer.

They brought expert group members and a planning team, which was Li Xuewu's office being spacious enough, and there were square cases specifically for looking at drawings, otherwise, they really couldn't have been received.

"You prepare first; I'll have a word with General Li Zong."

Bai Changmin explained to his subordinates. He used the title General Li Zong here, which was a polite way of addressing him, and only calling him that in front of subordinates was treating Li Xuewu's position as equal to the group's vice general manager.

Just like when you don't know what the other party's position is, calling them Director is mostly not wrong.

Liu Yongtao and Huang Yongjie didn't need to be busy, and under Li Xuewu's greeting, they sat on the sofa.

Zhang Enyuan didn't need his instructions; he had already called people from the office to help pour tea and served them to the Beijing Chemical people one by one.

This three-story office building not only had an office team belonging to Li Xuewu but also had a foundation for the Northeast Company, and various functional departments were expanding and operating.

Some departments only had one or two people, but the sparrow is small, yet it has all the internal organs.

Plus, this year's graduates poured into the group company, and many government and frontline technical positions were filled.

The fierce generals in his office before all led a team; if Li Xuewu were given another year, he would definitely be able to support the Northeast Company.

Red Star Steel Group Northeast Industrial Development General Company.

He had even thought of the name, although he hadn't told anyone, and although many people had seen his intentions, he was patient enough.

"I reported your opinion to Director Zhang." After sitting down, Bai Changmin tapped the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray and introduced: "Especially your views and analysis on future industrial development; he attaches great importance to it."

He straightened his trousers, looked at Li Xuewu, raised an eyebrow, and said: "Now we are people on the same boat; you have to reveal your entire plan to us."

"I can certainly tell you now."

Li Xuewu saw the secretaries bring tea, pushed his hand to signal them not to be polite, and continued: "There is nothing unspeakable about this plan, but it involves the interests of more than just our two sides."

He raised his eyes to look at Bai Changmin and asked: "Are you sure you don't want to wait until you meet the representatives of Liaodong industry before talking about this?"

After saying this, without waiting for Bai Changmin to answer, he picked up his teacup and said faintly: "You certainly think this is nothing, but in my eyes, and in the eyes of the other party, it doesn't count as a kind of fairness and tacit understanding."

"What is fairness and tacit understanding?" Bai Changmin frowned slightly and asked: "What does it have to do with me knowing your plan?"

"It has a relationship, a very big relationship."

Li Xuewu drank a mouthful of hot tea calmly, put down the teacup, and looked at him seriously, explaining: "This project is here; it's not just Beijing Chemical's business, nor is it the Red Steel Group's business."

"So how long do you have to wait?" Bai Changmin looked at him amusedly and asked: "You don't have to wait until we are all at the negotiating table to say it?"

"You have to listen carefully; it's not just you, us, Liaodong industry, and them—"

Li Xuewu raised his eyes and pointed his finger at the coffee table, emphasizing: "You wouldn't be naive enough to think that the construction of an industrial park only needs our few parties, right?"

"What do you mean?" Bai Changmin's brow frowned again, reminding him: "You never mentioned to me before that there were other joint venture parties."

"It's not a joint venture, and there is no joint venture."

Li Xuewu explained very bluntly: "In my plan, your park is managed by yourselves, and no one will interfere or influence it."

Hearing him say this, Bai Changmin and the others were confused again. Wasn't all the tossing about site selection in Liaodong earlier just to prevent this?

Now Li Xuewu clearly told him that he didn't covet their operating rights, which made him feel like he had punched cotton.

Perhaps he now had to suspect that Li Xuewu had been watching them jump up and down to select a site earlier—was it intentional, watching them play monkey tricks?

"In your plan, how long will it take to complete the construction of this park?"

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to their surprised expressions, but threw out a question, just as the expert group was ready.

Bai Changmin hesitated for a moment and asked: "Your meaning is... can the time be compressed?"

"Must be compressed; four years is absolutely not okay."

Li Xuewu said firmly: "If it's built in four years, even if it starts construction successively, there won't be a very good industrial impact."

He pointed his finger at the other party, reminding: "Don't forget the opportunity and purpose of your coming to Liaodong."

"Wait for the park to form an industrial impact, wait for the park to achieve profitability—how many lifetimes will it take for you to complete your group formation goal."

Li Xuewu's words were like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of several people. Huang Yongjie frowned and asked: "How long do you say it can take?"

"I say it must have the support of Liaodong industry."

Li Xuewu looked at him and said seriously: "You must let Liaodong industry trust you and fully support you in building a chemical industry park in Yingcheng."

"At this time, there must be no contradictions that affect mutual trust; you must achieve true trust in each other."

"How is this possible—" Bai Changmin spread his hands and said: "We can exchange opinions openly here because we have cooperated for many years and have such a foundation."

"But you have no choice now—" Li Xuewu also answered very seriously: "And this is also the significance of the Red Steel Group participating in this project."

He said somewhat proudly: "The Red Steel Group will provide a bottom line for both of you; you can completely trust each other just as you believe in us."

"Now you should think about what you want, what Liaodong industry wants, what they can give you, and what you can give them."

Li Xuewu crossed his hands and waved them, reminding seriously: "As the head of the Red Steel Group, I tell you very clearly, I have also reminded the other party of this sentence; don't tell us your thoughts."

"The significance of our work for this project is to promote this project, start construction as soon as possible, and operate as soon as possible."

Bai Changmin fell silent, looked at Huang Yongjie, and the other party also looked at him at this time, waiting for him to make a decision.

Coming to Steel City to see Li Xuewu, Bai Changmin specifically returned to Beijing to report and ask for instructions, and received Director Zhang's trust and support, allowing him to make decisions on his own.

So now it was Bai Changmin who had the final say.

"Can you tell me who else is involved?"

Bai Changmin was still very cautious. Facing Li Xuewu's one layout after another, this situation of only being able to passively accept was really uncomfortable.

But he didn't deny, and had to admit, that everything Li Xuewu said was right, especially about the topic of how long it would take to start operation.

Although Li Xuewu didn't give an answer, they were sitting here, and their location was the answer.

Look at how long it took for the Red Steel Group's Liangma River Ecological Industrial Park to be built, and look at how long it took for the Red Steel Group's industrial park in Steel City to be built.

Now he just wanted to know how many aspects of this cake could be shared.

"This depends entirely on your pursuit of this project."

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said in a peaceful tone: "You want to complete the project construction as soon as possible, operate as soon as possible, and even achieve profitability as soon as possible, then you have to give up some interests."

"During this period, you have to face abandonment, face pressure and challenges from other aspects, and I and the Red Steel Group will always stand on your side."

He crossed his hands and looked at the other party, reminding: "I will give you a goal: the main building of the entire industrial park involving industrial production, completed in 6 months."

"What!" Before he finished speaking, someone from the expert group suddenly spoke, saying in surprise: "How is this possible!"

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to him, still staring at Bai Changmin's eyes and continuing: "You have to coordinate the procurement and installation of equipment; how long it takes to produce depends on your equipment and workers."

"Regarding other supporting buildings, as well as the entire park's project, I will give you another time."

He gestured with his palm and said very seriously: "5 months."

"In other words—" Huang Yongjie looked at him in surprise and asked: "The entire industrial park only needs one year to complete the construction work?"

"That's right, it won't take a year."

Li Xuewu turned to look at him and said affirmatively: "The Red Steel Group Joint Construction Engineering General Company can provide you with planning and construction plans, can provide building engineering construction plans, and even overall decoration plans."

He promoted his group's other products very bluntly, "You have also seen that the construction progress of the Steel City Industrial Park is about to be completed."

"If you can reach an agreement quickly, then we have a winter to design and plan, order mechanical equipment, and train workers."

Li Xuewu said persuasively: "Start the project next spring, and by this time next year, you will be able to trial-run production."

He nodded slowly and said with a smile: "And once this project starts, the group formation process project we planned and designed for you should be implemented, proceeding with the tertiary industry."

"When the tertiary industry starts to make a profit, your group formation process will enter the fast lane, constantly accelerating..."

"Wait a minute." Before he could listen to Li Xuewu painting him a big cake, or in Li Xuewu's words, what was called "planning a magnificent blueprint," Bai Changmin looked at him and asked very seriously: "Where does the construction capital come from?"

He hadn't been stupid enough to get carried away by listening to stories, clearly recognizing that the time points and progress Li Xuewu planned were not conventional means.

Think about it, why did Li Xuewu say he needed the full support of Liaodong industry? Because if they wanted to quickly complete primitive accumulation, they had to integrate resources from existing chemical enterprises in Liaodong.

Never mind whether these chemical enterprises were backward or loss-making; the content involved here was really too much.

How many mines the Red Star Factory stepped on in the process of achieving group formation, he had investigated, and he couldn't help but be on guard.

Having to face Liaodong industry and also having to accelerate—the funds needed here were massive; where could they support it?

Chief Engineer Huang Yongjie's calculation was not wrong; according to Beijing Chemical's economic scale, it would take four years to complete the preliminary construction of the industrial park.

But in Li Xuewu's view, they were just dawdling, kidding.

Four years?

Li Xuewu's plan was to stuff a rocket into their butts; this was the rhythm of going to heaven.

This wasn't leading them to achieve group formation; it was adding a catalyst to their group formation process—this was too... unbelievable.

That's right, if they really followed Li Xuewu's thinking, they would definitely have a great chance of achieving group formation in more than two years.

However, returning to the essence of the problem, where does the money come from?

Li Xuewu had already given the answer, and that was "them."

"Money doesn't come from the wind."

Li Xuewu paused, nodded, and said: "I know your worries, and I know your concerns, but this is the price of development."

He spread his hands and said: "Including us, we are all paying back debts for the speed back then, but we rushed over; at least we have a chance to pay back the debts, right?"

"You might as well tell me the truth." Bai Changmin narrowed his left eye slightly and said: "We can be open and honest, right?"

"Yes." Li Xuewu hesitated for a moment, looked at him, and said: "This content is actually what I planned to mention after everyone sat together."

"But I understand your situation very well; after all, you have to report to Director Zhang, right."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "I can guarantee you that the Red Steel Group will not appear at the dinner table."

His words made the tightly frowned brows of Bai Changmin and the others suddenly relax, replaced by surprised expressions as they looked at him.

What the hell are you saying?

Busy back and forth, serving the people, and not wanting a cent?

"The Joint Savings Bank will do the fund-raising and supervision work for this project, and will be responsible for the equity supervision duties after operation."

"What do you mean?" Bai Changmin frowned again, looking at him and asking: "Only giving money? Won't participate in management and operation?"

"No! Don't misinterpret my meaning, even if I know you didn't do it on purpose." Li Xuewu pointed his finger at him and said: "I said, don't interfere with your operations, but I didn't say don't participate in management."

"The money isn't for you to use for free!"

He emphasized very seriously: "The Joint Savings Bank, as the fund supervision and fund-raising party, implements supervision and regulatory power according to regulations."

"After your project is profitable, you must distribute dividends as agreed in the contract, and operate in compliance and operate properly."

"Of course, the ugly words are said in front."

Li Xuewu didn't wait for Bai Changmin and the others to speak, and reminded again: "You are going to establish a group company; you cannot simply treat this project as a branch factory to manage now. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Still meaning a joint venture?" Huang Yongjie frowned.

"Not a joint venture." Bai Changmin looked at Li Xuewu and said: "This is that set of foreign capital companies."

"Not entirely." Li Xuewu didn't deny it, but corrected: "If it were according to that set of capital companies, this project should divide the cake by capital assessment means."

He picked up his teacup and drank a mouthful, giving the other party time to think, and then continued to explain: "The project must be managed independently. In terms of system, it is naturally collective ownership, a cooperation between the collective and the Joint Savings Bank."

"This is a violation!" Huang Yongjie reminded again: "How can capital..."

"Because the nature of the Joint Savings Bank is also collective."

Without Li Xuewu answering, Bai Changmin had already understood Li Xuewu's layout, one ring after another, interlocking.

"That's right, the Joint Savings Bank only has two joint venture shareholders."

Li Xuewu looked at Huang Yongjie, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile: "One is the Red Steel Group you know."

"The other one you are not unfamiliar with, it is the Dongcheng Credit Union."

Good heavens, the people in the room were a bit stunned; even those who knew this situation were a bit dizzy by his thinking mode.

Clearly it was a capital routine, but looking at it through the appearance, it was Red Heart?

"You have so much money?" Bai Changmin was still suspicious.

"Of course not." Li Xuewu smiled and explained very frankly: "The Joint Savings Bank has the business of holding and operating funds on behalf of others; this is the ability given by the financial system. You don't have to worry about this."

He put down the teacup in his hand and explained very relaxedly: "Even if you are willing, you can go to the Joint Savings Bank to deposit money; I believe the interest will definitely be guaranteed."

"Hahahaha—" This joke couldn't be considered funny, but it was already very easy to understand.

"Also—" Li Xuewu turned back, looked at the expert group members, and didn't know who said it was impossible just now, but smiled and said: "You don't need to do engineering planning; we have a more professional team."

This damn, not holding a grudge overnight, right!

"Xuewu is back—"

Liu Yin was picking small vegetables in the courtyard. Seeing her son's car stop at the courtyard gate, she stood up.

Waiting for her son to enter the courtyard, she walked over with a smile.

"Mom, you didn't get tired on the road, right?"

"No, tired of what." Liu Yin smiled and looked at him, even though she hadn't seen him for half a month, she was still very concerned about him.

"Didn't it disturb your work?" she asked softly: "If you are busy, your father and I can just go."

"It's okay; Second Uncle wants me to go."

Li Xuewu smiled, hugged his mother's shoulder, and whispered: "My second uncle is so vain; he wants me to go over and support his scene."

"Just you think too much—" Liu Yin naturally thought everything about her son was good, and at this moment, she couldn't even take care of the vegetables in her hand.

Until walking into the entrance hall, hearing the coughing sound coming from the living room.

"Why are you so insensible."

Mother's face changed faster than turning a book. At this moment, she pointed at his forehead and taught him: "Even if that's the case, you can't be so shallow."

Mother's reprimand was like a string of beads, not giving him a chance to explain, nor giving father Li Shun a chance to speak.

Walking into the living room, seeing father sitting there with a nose not like a nose and eyes not like eyes, it was clear he was really angry.

Li Xuewu smiled, listening to mother's nagging, and didn't explain much.

After a while, Liu Yin finished speaking, watched him go to take a bath, and then asked: "When does Yu Li get off work? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

"Cough cough—"

Li Shun, who usually had to check his own pulse if he sweated a little, was like a toad stuffed in his throat at this moment. He coughed twice when he heard something wrong.

Liu Yin turned back and glared at him, saying: "If your throat is uncomfortable, drink more water. What are you coughing for!"

Li Shun was so angry; he didn't even get to say a word, and coughing twice was wrong.

"Don't let her come back." Li Xuewu said to mother on purpose, looking at the living room: "Father is angry."

"Go—" Liu Yin was unwilling, glared at her son, and said: "If you don't let her come back, where do you want her to live?"

"There is no one like you; serving you, taking care of you, you treat people like maids, and treat yourself like a landlord—"

After reprimanding her son, she gestured to the living room and said: "Go, call Yu Li and tell her to come back for dinner quickly; the food is ready."

"Wait a while; see if she has any arrangements." Li Xuewu smiled and wanted to take a bath, but was slapped hard by his mother.

Li Xuewu didn't wait until he finished his bath and came out to call. Before long, he heard the sound of Yu Li entering the house.

"Aunt, why did you cook?"

Yu Li entered the house carrying fruit and good dishes from the restaurant, and seeing the figure busy in the kitchen, said embarrassedly: "Are you and Uncle hungry? I'm sorry; I came back late."

"Not late, not late, just right."

Liu Yin waved her hand with a smile and said: "Why did you buy these? Just eat whatever is at home; your uncle and I are not guests."

"How can that be—" Yu Li's mouth was so sweet; she didn't dare talk to Li Shun, just coaxing Liu Yin.

"I haven't seen you for a long time; it's not easy to see you once, so how can it be too simple."

She said this, already snatched the apron from Liu Yin, and said: "You should rest; I'll do it."

"You child, what are you grabbing from me!"

Liu Yin said so, but her face was full of smiles, glared at her son who came out of the bathroom, and went to help Yu Li with a smile.

"Humph—" Li Shun still didn't give his son a good face. Seeing him sit over, he turned his head away in dissatisfaction, not wanting to pay attention to him.

Li Xuewu just found his old father funny; his own stubbornness when he was young was actually following his father.

Like Li Xuehan, both lost their fathers when they were young, and even Li Shun at that time was younger than Li Xuehan.

Think about how helpless Li Xuehan is now, and you know how hard his father was in that living environment back then.

Li Xuewu had patience with his father's temper; he didn't speak, poured tea when he should, and read the newspaper when he should.

For a father who was about to become an old child, he had patience and means. ===== CHAPTER 1626 =====

Li Xuewu only found his old father amusing; his own stubbornness when he was a child was actually inherited from his father.

Just like Li Xuehan, both lost their fathers in their youth, and Li Shun was even younger than Li Xuehan was at that time.

Thinking about how helpless Li Xuehan is now, one can understand how hard it was for his father in that kind of living environment back then.

Li Xuewu was very patient with his father's temper; he didn't speak, pouring tea when it was time to pour tea, and accompanying him to read the newspaper when it was time to read the newspaper.

For his father, who was soon to be an old child, he had plenty of patience and methods.
