Chapter 1646: Ate Gunpowder

How difficult it is to enter the Red Steel Group, anyone in the industrial sector in the capital knows; this isn't something you can just come to by getting a slip of paper approved.

Currently, within the industrial system, the Red Steel Group is the only enterprise without temporary workers.

The entire Group's employment system has achieved closed-loop management; they don't recruit temporary workers, and there are only a few directions for recruitment channels.

You say you are a Group employee and want your child to enter; that's fine, but they must take the vocational technical college exam and go through the normal recruitment procedure.

Even if the parents are cadres, it's no use. You want to say you'll work as a temporary worker first and then become regular when the employment quota comes out? Not a chance.

After the last batch of temporary workers was settled, the Group's personnel system only retained intern positions, and those were for graduates.

Once the three-month internship ends, either become regular or leave; they won't give you an extra day of opportunity.

If you can work at the Red Steel Group in the capital, you are truly something; whether it's a big girl or a young lad, finding a partner is no problem.

Just think, as long as you get the regular employee salary, you are qualified to rent or buy a house in the collective apartment, and your work ID is the voucher to purchase goods at the Red Star Supply and Service Department—not only do you not need coupons, but it's also affordable.

The Red Steel Group's welfare benefits are the best in the industrial system; during festivals, the Red Steel employees are the happiest.

If Gu Yan can arrange his soldiers into the Red Steel Group, he would have so much face in his unit; those who understand the actual situation would wish they could kowtow to him.

Looking at it from Li Xuewu's side, the Group's personnel system has retained channels for receiving transferred and discharged personnel, so his handling of this doesn't violate regulations.

Moreover, the people came from Gu Yan; once they enter the Group, you can't say they are all his people, but at least they have to remember how they got there.

As long as Li Xuewu is in this position, those relationships will all align with him.

He has said there is no need to cultivate confidants, because there truly is no need. When he stands at the peak, naturally there will be people shouting and cheering for him.

Gu Ning doesn't understand these things much. When her brother mentioned this to her, she didn't feel it was difficult, and hearing Li Xuewu agree so crisply didn't make her feel particularly happy. Does she need to thank him for handling things for her own family? Anyway, she couldn't do it.

Li Xuewu had been working hard recently, so she told Li Xuewu directly to go find her mother. Seeing him say no need, she personally called Jin Ling.

Ding Fengxia was also left between laughter and tears upon receiving the call. Her daughter had bluntly stated that her son-in-law had encountered difficult matters recently and needed help.

She asked Gu Ning what difficult matters her son-in-law had encountered and what help he needed. Gu Ning said she didn't know and told her to ask Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu found it amusing when he received his father-in-law's call in Steel City. She didn't even know why he was working hard, yet she tossed her old father-in-law to help.

The two have been married for several years; her personality has matured a lot, but sometimes she truly doesn't consider things when handling affairs, being a bit childish.

Ding Fengxia and Gu Haitao don't dare to say anything to her. Before they were married, they could still nag a couple of times, but now that Li Shu and Li Ning are so big, how can they say anything?

So in this house, they don't care much about what Gu Ning says. If there is something, they talk to Li Xuewu; talking to their daughter is useless.

"You two should go write your homework."

Gu Ning sat in the living room watching the two children play for a while. After finishing a cup of tea, she reminded Li Shu and Li Ning.

Li Ning was actually greedy for play and wanted to play for a while longer, but seeing his sister respond and go get her schoolbag, he had to obediently follow her to the guest room.

Zhao Yaping's self-discipline became Li Shu's model, and Li Ning had no choice but to take his sister as a model, because if he didn't study, his sister would slap him.

This is the benefit of having an older student in the house; children's growth is a process of imitation.

Before Er Ya went back to her room to rest, the sister and brother Li Shu and Li Ning would study with Yaping aunt and finish their homework.

And after Er Ya finished tidying up the kitchen, their homework would be finished, and she would help them wash up and then send them upstairs to sleep.

Usually, Gu Ning would go to the study to read after dinner, but today Li Xuewu was back, so she had been sitting in the living room.

"Hehe, does studying need to be urged?"

Li Xuewu held his teacup, looked at his daughter and son going to find Zhao Yaping with their schoolbags, and asked with a chuckle, "Don't need you to watch them?"

"Don't need me to urge, nor do I need to watch." Gu Ning drank the warm tea and said faintly, "If she doesn't study, she won't be able to get first place."

Li Xuewu clearly saw his daughter's pace quicken by a few steps, and she even urged Li Ning to keep up, and whispered a threat that if he got second place in kindergarten, she would slap him.

With such a proud older sister, who knows if Li Ning's childhood is happy.

A child's year is always longer than an adult's year; their childhood is long and colorful.

Because they are always coming into contact with new things, forever maintaining a spirit of being positive, enterprising, and optimistic.

Even if there is unhappiness today, it is temporary; Mom's company and Dad's surprises will be the source of happiness for the coming week.

"Your royalties were mailed to me."

Gu Ning put down her teacup, glanced at him, and said, "There are over two thousand."

"What royalties?" Li Xuewu was slightly stunned and said, "Weren't the royalties for the last book settled?"

"It's a reprint, the combined edition of 'Criminal Psychology' and the 'Security Trilogy.' You don't know about this?" Gu Ning looked at him unexpectedly.

"Don't know, no one told me."

Li Xuewu shook his head amusingly and said, "Can't blame them; current publishing management doesn't have a standard. Anyway, the first edition is with them, so they can reprint however they want. It's not like they are short of money."

This era is just like this: one is one, two is two; what should be given is not a bit less, and what shouldn't be given is not a cent more.

He said indifferently, "Keep it there. Buy whatever you like, or use it for household expenses."

"There's money—" Gu Ning folded her right leg, looked at her fingers, and said, "Save it, use it for the children."

"Whatever, you decide."

Li Xuewu picked up a fruit knife, peeled an apple, divided a quarter for her, and said, "The interest rate at the United Savings Bank can be a bit higher."

"Mm, Dr. Zhang from the department said so."

Gu Ning took a small bite of the apple. He knew her habits; she always only ate a quarter.

He even knew many of her habits, always revealing them inadvertently on weekdays, giving her a little surprise.

"The eldest sister-in-law asked me to ask you if it's convenient to transfer to the United Hospital."

She ate the apple, wiped her hands, and seeing him look over with some surprise, explained, "She said she wants to transfer to a local unit."

"Why? Really want to transfer?"

Li Xuewu frowned slightly and said, "Don't you feel it's a pity? If we are talking about treatment and conditions, your system should still be better."

Here, the treatment and conditions he mentioned didn't refer to welfare benefits, but the particularity endowed by the status; this is something the United Hospital cannot compare with.

However, apart from the special treatment of status, the welfare benefits of any hospital in the country cannot compare with the United Hospital.

A few years ago, in order to expand medical personnel, the recruitment channels were very relaxed, especially for the establishment of the Steel City Branch and Yingcheng Branch, which needed resources.

Starting this year, the situation Li Xuewu learned about is that the recruitment indicators have started to stick to standards, and there have always been assessments within the United Hospital.

The Red Steel Group's survival of the fittest is not only reflected in industrial management; the entire system operates this way.

If your medical skills aren't good, you can't mix here either.

Of course, Mu Hongyan's medical skills are beyond reproach. Having worked in the capital for so many years, she is also being cultivated as a backbone.

"She said she's tired of the tossing and turning."

Gu Ning also felt it was a pity, sighed lightly, and explained, "Returning to our hospital, she's afraid people will gossip, and she also feels it's meaningless."

Li Xuewu understood; Mu Hongyan felt uncomfortable in her heart. After all, she went for a circle, her rank didn't improve, and she stood on the same level as her sister-in-law.

It would be fine to come back now, but in another year or two, she would have to be a doctor under Gu Ning. Would she be willing?

"That's true. Our Group's hospital has high wages, good treatment, superior welfare, and the medical conditions and hardware facilities are also more excellent."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "There is no such thing as when she wants to come back. If she truly wants to come back, you tell me, and I will arrange it."

He picked up his teacup and said, "However, I still suggest she stay in your system. It's the same if she comes out in a few years."

"She probably doesn't want to toss and turn anymore." Gu Ning thought for a moment and explained, "She said she will return to work in the capital next year, and the child needs to go to kindergarten."

"Then wait until next year, it's in time."

Li Xuewu said indifferently, "The competitive pressure within the United Hospital is not small. I'm afraid she won't be used to it."

"Hm?" Gu Ning didn't understand what he meant.

"Too many capable people came in the past few years."

Li Xuewu shook his head with a smile and said, "Many young doctors can't even get on the surgery list and can only assist, or go to work at branch hospitals."

"Either come to the United Hospital to learn, or have a unique skill, and have absolute confidence and academic achievements in a certain field."

He deliberately teased Gu Ning and said, "When you become the number one knife in your hospital, you will have the opportunity to try your skills at the United Hospital."

"Heh—" Gu Ning glanced at him with a strange expression. That expression was the first time Li Xuewu had seen it; it was a bit unconvinced and a bit proud.

If you say it's familiar, it's familiar; Li Shu is often like this.

"The United Hospital is linked to the Medical College of the Vocational Technical College, and it counts as a comprehensive hospital of a teaching nature."

Li Xuewu explained patiently to her, "You are a number one knife here, so you don't have to bring students, but that won't work over there."

In any era, in any unit, as long as there are many capable people, involution will appear, and the standards for selection and progress will be raised accordingly.

The number one knife of the United Hospital must have both academic and practical abilities; laboratory doctors cannot get on the operating table.

"Moreover, the United Hospital has medical management separation; the power of the department director cannot compare with yours here. You guys should still develop here."

Li Xuewu said with a smile, "If the third brother wants to go, he can take the hospital's administrative route, but this also has to be discussed later."

Gu Ning looked him over and said, "Our leader is preparing to find you, wanting you to help introduce medical equipment."

"Hehehe—" Li Xuewu laughed when he heard her say this and asked, "Is he jealous of the United Hospital's hardware facilities?"

He wasn't stingy. He found a piece of white paper from under the coffee table, wrote an address and phone number, and explained, "The Jilixing Shipping that cooperates with our Group, their general manager also does medical equipment import trade."

"Shipbuilding?" Gu Ning took the paper strip and asked suspiciously, "Also does medical equipment?"

"Her family operates a shipbuilding business, but she herself has other businesses." Li Xuewu explained indifferently, "Equipment from Eastern and Western Europe can be obtained, much cheaper than buying from the port."

He pointed to the piece of paper in Gu Ning's hand and joked, "Remember to let your leader find time to invite me to dinner; this favor can't be done in vain."

Gu Ning curled her lips and said, "You go find him yourself."

"I do have to find him to reason."

Li Xuewu blinked his eyes and said deliberately, "Always talking about cultivating you, only seeing you being given increased learning pressure, but not seeing you being promoted and making progress. We are still waiting to have children here..."

Gu Ning didn't wait for him to finish and went upstairs. She knew that once he got serious, he would have no serious words.

Li Xuewu also stood up and chased after her. He truly wanted to have another child; he always felt that a house with many children was lively.

Er Ya came out of the dining room after tidying up the kitchen. Seeing the couple teasing each other and returning upstairs, she pursed her lips and giggled, secretly thinking they didn't even know how to be shy.

Little Ning sister is relatively conservative, but brother Li is quite open. Sometimes at home, he would say "I love you, I love you," and just hearing it would make one shy to death.

When a big wind blew in the middle of the night, he got up and took a look, knowing it had snowed heavily. Early in the morning, the children's chatter next door woke him up.

Listening to Li Shu and Li Ning, who ran into the room to call him to get up and build a snowman in the courtyard, he raised his head and looked out the window. He didn't expect the snow to be so heavy.

Yesterday during the day, it was normal weather, not cloudy. This snow came in the middle of the night and was quite fierce; looking at it, it must be as deep as a knee.

Don't think that just because it snows heavily in the Northeast, it means the snowy days in the North are all like this.

It's not. There are very few such heavy snows in the capital. He only heard about snow sealing the door when he was in the Northeast.

If this were said in later generations, no one would believe it. The line Yang Bailao said about snow sealing the door for more than ten days is an exaggerated rhetorical device.

It's not; there truly is such a situation.

However, living conditions are relatively better now. The foundations of urban residential houses have been raised to block rainwater from backflowing.

Li Xuewu had heard the old lady talk about what to do when snow seals the door: you have to smash the window, dig a hole, and then you can open the door.

You say push the door hard; that's because you have no experience. If this snow piles up, human power can't push it. The more you push, the firmer it gets.

But now, living conditions are relatively better. The foundations of urban residential houses have been raised to block rainwater from backflowing.

The Sihe Academy in the East City where the Li family lives is very good. That area was where noble people lived early on, so the foundation was built high and sturdy.

You wait for the courtyard in the South City, and it won't work. Before a person enters the room when it rains, the rainwater enters the room first. If the water is a bit big, it can get on the kang.

The foreign-style house in Haiyuncang belongs to the building during the Japanese puppet period. At that time, the little devils were also willing to spend money and waste it hard.

Li Xuewu has never worried about being flooded by rainwater living here, because there is a big lake not far away to store water.

It's the same with snow. You don't need to worry about other places; just clear the part of the path in the courtyard, and the rest will melt on its own.

The snow water will moisturize the land, and the excess part will flow along the drainage ditch and eventually flow into the big lake.

"A timely snow promises a good harvest—"

Li Xuewu was urged by his daughter and son to wash up, changed into a cotton-padded jacket, and was pulled by their hands downstairs.

There were the voices of Er Ya and Zhao Yaping in the courtyard. The two got up early and came out to shovel snow, chattering and lively.

"I want to build a snowman—"

Li Shu couldn't hold back anymore. It was Mom who exhorted them that they must be with Dad, otherwise they would have rushed out to play in the snow long ago.

Li Xuewu changed into cotton shoes, took the children out of the door hall, and the morning sun sprinkled on the snow in the courtyard, so dazzling.

"Ah—hahahaha—"

Li Shu was like a little lunatic, running into the snow pile, jumping and tossing snowflakes, her laughter piercing the world of the winter morning.

Li Ning didn't want to fall behind either, chasing his sister swaying like a little penguin, stumbling and falling into the snow pile, then climbing up and running again.

Er Ya and Zhao Yaping stood there watching them laugh, even the strength to shovel snow was laughed away.

"Give it to me, you go make breakfast."

Li Xuewu took the wooden shovel from Er Ya's hand, smiled, shoveled a lump of snow, and threw it at Li Ning, knocking him down into the snow again.

"Hahahaha—" Li Shu found the fun of bullying her younger brother and grabbed snowballs to play a snowball fight.

Li Ning also knew he could fight back at this time, climbed up, held a block of snow, and started chasing his sister; he wanted revenge!

The snow had just stopped, and when it hadn't been stepped into ice lumps, it was better to use a wooden shovel, but ordinary families were reluctant to use it.

This kind of tool is similar to an iron shovel, but it is used for winnowing. Rice and grain are harvested from the fields for threshing, and they need to be turned and winnowed during the drying process, borrowing the power of the autumn wind to blow away the soil and shriveled grains.

Pure solid wood, very light to use, no effort, and no harsh noise when removing snow. These tools in Li Xuewu's house were prepared by Han Jiankun. He didn't do less of these chores in those two years.

Just the path from the door hall to the main gate, no one went to the backyard, so there was no need to tidy it up, but just this little bit kept Li Xuewu and Zhao Yaping busy until Er Ya finished breakfast.

The snow was still too much and too thick. When clearing to the door, he couldn't help but clear the snow on both sides of the door.

It truly fulfilled the old saying, "Sweep the snow in front of your own door, don't worry about the frost on others' roofs." Early in the morning, many neighbor courtyards were clearing snow, but few went to help others clear their courtyard doors, and some even wanted to be lazy and wait for the cleaning team to tidy up the part connecting to the road.

"Morning, Comrade Li." It was the neighbor next door who took the initiative to greet him.

Li Xuewu smiled and responded, "Morning. This snow is big enough; haven't seen it for many years."

"Isn't it!" The neighbor was a middle-aged man, using an iron shovel in his hand, wearing a sweater, sweating profusely from working alone.

This wasn't the first time the two had met, but every time they saw each other, they just nodded, and there was truly no excessive communication.

He didn't even know where the other party worked, and he estimated the other party didn't know where he worked either. The neighbors on this street all had this kind of personality.

The two families had communication when Qin Jingru was here, often going to the vegetable market with the old lady of their family, which counted as knowing each other.

However, he and Gu Ning were busy on weekdays, and the other party wasn't an idle person either, so if there wasn't a reason, there was basically no communication.

Today was a coincidence. Li Xuewu was piling the snow cleared from the courtyard high and thick in the tree pit by the road, as if putting a big shoe on the big tree.

The neighbor saw it and said with a smile, "Still, many hands make light work. How many people in your family are working?"

"Our family has a clear division of labor, each busy with their own." Li Xuewu didn't answer his question directly. If he wanted to know how many people, couldn't he check himself?

He didn't have the intention of guarding against the other party, but he didn't have to be so active either. Separated by a wall, it's better for each other to have some sense of proportion.

"Hahahaha—" The neighbor said with a smile, "Usually don't see you. Heard you work out of town?"

"Hey—running both ends, busy in the capital too." Li Xuewu smiled and asked back, "Is your unit at your doorstep?"

"Where is it? It's outside Xizhimen, running ten more miles every day."

The neighbor was exhausted and didn't have the heart to tidy up as carefully as Li Xuewu, so he pushed the snow into the drainage ditch and called it a day.

Seeing that Li Xuewu also had little interest in talking, he finished tidying up a little at the door, waved his hand, and said, "You get busy, chat when you have time."

"Alright, you get busy."

Li Xuewu responded casually, tidied up the snow from his door to the roadside, and then walked back.

There is a saying about living in a big or small courtyard. He also heard it from the eldest and third grandfathers chatting when he was a child, saying that the winter snow can best see the family.

You look, the courtyard door is tidied up messily, one step and one foot of mud; the life of this family is absolutely loose and has no energy.

You say how?

Can't even do this little bit of face work well, can they still live a good life?

The big courtyard has a pragmatic one like the eldest grandfather, and a good-mouthed one like the third grandfather. Every household does have to have some face.

It's just that after so many years, there really isn't any family that would be lazy and not take the initiative to clean the snow in front of the door.

When the Li brothers were young, they were asked by their father Li Shun to sweep the snow in front of the deaf old lady's door in the backyard.

However, this statement is not necessarily correct. Individuals have their own way of living. If Li Xuewu wasn't at home, Er Ya and the others wouldn't be able to tidy up so thoroughly.

Li Xuewu tidying up like this is for face on one hand, and for Qi Yan to park the car easily on the other.

Compared to Yu Zhe, even if Li Xuewu returns to the capital, he will bring Qi Yan, and when going to Fengcheng and Yingcheng, he will bring him even if he doesn't drive.

Now his work is busy and there are many things, Zhang Enyuan alone is a bit too busy to handle, so he generally leaves unimportant things to him to do.

Li Xuewu arranged it this way deliberately, having him practice his hands, which counts as cultivating him and giving him the opportunity to come into contact with work.

Qi Yan is different from Yu Zhe after all. It's not that he favors one over the other, but Yu Zhe is simply not that kind of material; even if he cultivates him, it's in vain.

The status of being discharged gives Qi Yan the qualification for further study and improvement, and he is also willing to learn; his initiative is much higher than Yu Zhe's.

Mentioning Yu Zhe, Li Xuewu can think of how fun this kid must be in Steel City. This game of chess can be considered stirred alive by this little pawn.

Who would have thought that he could restrain himself to this extent when facing the aggressiveness of Su Weide and Zhou Wanquan.

It is estimated that the Group and those above are also waiting for his counterattack, but they have to admire and sigh at his endurance and overall view.

Li Xuewu wants this effect, to watch the two jump up and down without making a counterattack, using a pragmatic attitude to let those above see who is the fool.

As for whether someone will associate him with having participated in this layout through the relationship between Yu Zhe and him?

Actually, it's easy to say. If Yu Zhe were intentional, or had problems, then it would confirm his calculation.

Now Yu Zhe is "innocent," who can say he actively laid out the plan and lured the other party into the trap?

Even if one ignores these facts and blindly believes he is a conspirator, so what? Can't he counterattack?

While accompanying Li Shu and Li Ning to build a snowman, Li Xuewu was still thinking about this problem: can Yu Zhe implicate Su Weide's claws to that batch of planes?

Originally, he didn't plan to take this detour. There are many ways to make Sun Ming confess, but who told this person named Zhang Mingyuan not to be honest.

He never actively bullies such small characters, but the premise is that the other party doesn't provoke him.

Last time he came to Steel City, Wang Yajuan was a bit guilty, worried that the other party would lead the contradiction to him.

The key is that the two truly had such a period when they were young. As long as they investigate, they can grasp this situation.

Plus they both work in the Group and have had so many intersections, it's hard not to affect Li Xuewu's reputation.

Li Xuewu actually doesn't care about such flies; he just feels the other party is annoying. Since he has already grasped the situation, then just slap him to death.

Even Su Weide knows that Group office phones can't be used to talk casually, which is enough to show his influence in this regard.

It seems he has long been separated from the Group's security system, but if it comes to the real thing, he can make it so Su Weide can't mobilize anyone.

This is the authority of managing one side.

Many hands make light work, heavy snow is not scary.

Beijing has a population of more than 2 million, and cadres and employees of various units account for at least 25%. These people all have to participate in voluntary snow removal labor.

Li Xuewu didn't go to the Group to work, otherwise he would have to participate in voluntary labor with Li Huai De and the others.

The academy has 4 classes a month, thunder and lightning won't move. He never prepares lessons, but he never misses a class either. Who knows which day he will teach, but he will definitely teach.

The itinerary arranged by Zhang Enyuan includes docking with this side, and he will be notified in advance which day he can return to the capital to teach.

Li Xuewu's criminal psychology course has been taught for a year. The effect hasn't appeared yet, but the number of people attending the class has gradually increased.

Especially after knowing his identity outside the school, such an enterprise executive is also a kind of resource for them.

After 4 big classes, even Li Xuewu can't hold on. It's not physical hardship, but his throat is about to smoke.

Even speaking at a big meeting isn't this tiring. These students are also damn eager to learn and like to ask questions, even pestering him with questions after class.

He doesn't like this, but he can't refuse the students' initiative and can't dampen their enthusiasm.

However, after the morning class ends, he won't leave any opportunity for the students. As soon as the bell rings, he leaves immediately.

Even if the students want to find him, they can't, because he doesn't go to the office at all and drills into the car as soon as he goes downstairs.

However, today is an exception. The vice principal listened to his class and said in advance to have a chat after class.

Li Xuewu had actually almost forgotten to explore the purpose of these people arranging for him to teach at the school. Today, the map is finally revealed, and they have requests?

It's really not, it's to make him write an article.

"Consider it experience sharing."

Seeing his embarrassed expression, the vice principal said with a smile, "Summarize the work you did in the Security Third Regiment, raise it to a certain height, preferably in the form of a thesis."

"Who is going to read it?" Li Xuewu looked at him and said, "There is a realistic plan placed there. If you want to see it, just go to the scene to see it."

"Can anyone go see it?" The vice principal looked at him and said, "Can anyone see the doorway after seeing it?"

"Some things still need to be summarized. By expounding in the form of text, the truth will be deeper."

Li Xuewu doesn't believe him. This old guy is also talking nonsense with his eyes open. If he truly wanted to summarize experience, any one of the people in charge of the Security Third Regiment could be chosen to write it.

Asking him to write, and in the form of a thesis, what to do, who to show it to, it's known without saying.

It's not that Li Xuewu can't write, but he feels it's hard to be confused. Tell him who wants to see it, and what else can it affect?

"Does this count as an academic thesis?"

He was too lazy to explore further, but added a sentence, "I didn't agree to academic research work when I first came."

"Look at you, it's not that difficult."

The vice principal looked him over and said, "No one said to let you do academics, just want to understand the experience."

"Anyway, it won't be written in vain." Li Xuewu didn't take his words and emphasized again, "I have royalties for writing books. Work can't be done in vain."

"Hehehe—" The vice principal pointed at him with a smile and said, "You are truly mercenary. No wonder economic work is done well."

"Protecting labor income and selfless dedication are two different things." Li Xuewu tidied up his things, lifted his chin, and said, "If you can wait, I will write it for you for free next year."

"You really want to teach students full-time?"

The vice principal said amusingly, "If you are truly willing to be full-time, I will immediately give you academic status, guaranteed not to treat you poorly."

"Alright, having your word is enough."

Li Xuewu walked out of the classroom door and said with a smile, "If one day I can't mix in the enterprise, I will switch to your door to work."

"You just pull it—" The vice principal sent him off, saying as he walked, "Guarding the cornucopia, and still able to come to our clean yamen?"

"Even if you don't stay at the Red Steel Group, there are plenty of units fighting for you. How could it be our turn?"

"Who can say for sure about this—"

Li Xuewu walked down the stairs, walked to the car, and said with a smile, "In case I have nowhere to go, you can't pretend not to know me."

"Hahahaha—" The vice principal patted his arm and sent him into the car.

Regarding personally sending Li Xuewu to the car, the vice principal did it without any pressure or burden. Li Xuewu is special in their school.

Just looking at the point of not preparing lessons, it is a treatment that many professors don't have.

Of course, this also has to do with Li Xuewu's ability and strength. Being able to come to their school to teach is already an attitude after compromise. If they force him to do this and that, the person really wants to resign.

Just like he said, he guards the cornucopia, why should he accommodate them? It's not bad that he can come.

Look at these professors in the school, which one comes by car? This is called a capable person.

Capable person Li Xuewu, truly never thought about being so flamboyant.

Sometimes Li Xuewu wishes no one would contact him, just let him have a relaxing vacation, accompany his family and children, visit relatives, and meet friends.

However, the person who contacted him today should count as a relative, and it was a relative he took the initiative to climb up to.

He had almost forgotten that he had an uncle in the Light Arms Institute.

"If I didn't call you, would you not know to come?" Li Zhengfeng tilted his eyes and looked him over, asking, "Now that you are a leader, you look down on our small temple, right?"

"Where would I look down on it."

Li Xuewu looked at him amusingly and said, "I didn't offend you, did I? Coming up and shooting, did you eat gunpowder?"

"You are the one who ate gunpowder—"

Li Zhengfeng turned his head and gestured to the inner room, brought him to the laboratory, and complained all the way, "How long has it been since you cared about weapon R&D work? Do you look down on this income?"

"Did my old aunt scold you?"

Li Xuewu deliberately lowered his voice and joked, "Are you taking your anger out on me?"

"Go, go, go—" Li Zhengfeng waved his hand, brought him to the test bench, gestured to the firearms on the table, and said, "Take a look."

He asked with some pride in his tone, "Have you seen it?"

"How could I not have seen it? Where did it come from?"

Li Xuewu picked up an M16 automatic rifle and fiddled with it, pulled the bolt, and it truly looked like standard equipment, with a mark.

Those familiar with American military equipment know that they will stamp the unit mark on the firearm.

Land is land, sea is sea, and even the gun types are different.

Li Xuewu was also looking at a novelty, and he had already guessed the origin of these pieces of equipment in his heart.

"Sent over from Annan?"

This era is the only time Annan, who is fighting with the Americans, can capture this equipment, and they have sent quite a lot to the interior.

Later generations always say that the American CH-47 heavy transport helicopter, the Chinook, is how awesome it is, and we will never be able to build it.

Actually, this thing was truly captured intact by Annan, and there was more than one, and it was truly sent to the interior, intact.

But, it was sent, it was seen, and it was measured, but with the conditions of this era, it truly couldn't be produced.

Li Xuewu felt it most deeply. The technology introduced from Western countries through the Santa Ya Group would more or less have some water and soil incompatibility.

It's not that we can't afford fine grain, but from the beginning, our industry learned from the North Soviet Union, and the development ideas of the North Soviet industrial system are two different directions from the Americans. You say how to match.

Why is it that as long as we see North Soviet equipment and can measure it with a ruler, we can basically get it out, but American equipment can't.

The reason is this: the systems don't match.

Readers who have played with rifles know that the more basic the configuration in the troops, the better, because the quantity needed is large, and it's impossible to pick and choose.

But the M16 in his hand still reveals the sentiment of a young lady everywhere. Compared with the rough old man like the Type 56 he used, one can see at a glance whose seed it is.

"What do you want this thing for?"

Li Xuewu put down the rifle in his hand and picked up the more familiar M1911 pistol to look at it, then threw it aside.

He wanted to see that M60 general-purpose machine gun, but he was afraid its gun oil would dirty his hands, so he didn't touch it.

What was placed on the test bench was all the individual weapon equipment. There were clothes and gear in the basket at his feet.

"Ahem—research, research—"

Li Zhengfeng looked at his treasures, asked with a smile on his mouth, "Any interest in researching together? Heard the performance of these guns is quite good."

"Hehe—are you senile?"

Li Xuewu looked him over and said, "Even if you figure out the technical production parameters, are you going to produce them for us? Who are you going to sell them to?"

"Besides, even if you figure it out and give it to us for free, we won't produce these delicate young ladies."

He pointed to the M60 and said, "If you want to say research the excellent performance of this thing, I can say you are serious."

"If it's anything else, I advise you to stop wasting your effort. We won't produce American-series equipment. We don't even produce Western European ones."

"Have you never thought about taking the exquisite route?"

Li Zhengfeng looked at the guns on the table somewhat reluctantly and said, "Our institute is preparing to establish a project for a new automatic rifle. Isn't this looking for inspiration?"

"Then I advise you to look more at North Soviet equipment. Throw these things wherever there is space; don't be an eyesore here as a treasure."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "If I had known you wanted me to look at this junk, I wouldn't have come. There is a meeting to attend in the afternoon."

"Look at how crazy you are—"

Li Zhengfeng glanced at him and said, "Can I let you leave on an empty stomach? Come, I've prepared a small stove for you long ago."

"Oh, that's about right."

Li Xuewu smiled and blinked his eyes, coaxing his old uncle, "Did Annan send more helicopters or something?"

"What do you want? Helicopters?"

Li Zhengfeng looked at him amusingly and said, "Where am I going to find them for you? This was still applied for from above."

"Then you help me ask above, can I apply for an AH-1, or a UH-1 is fine too."

Li Xuewu said with a smile, "We aren't picky, and we won't take it for free. We'll trade planes for planes."

"Hehe—" Li Zhengfeng looked at him and said, "Know you regret it? Offended them to death at the beginning, now no connections?"

"Sigh—" Li Xuewu sighed and said, "This isn't my fault. You know me, am I the kind of person who provokes right and wrong?"

"I think you look quite like it—" Li Zhengfeng pointed at him amusingly and said, "You don't look down on American equipment, why are you thinking about their helicopters again?"

"I don't look down on their equipment; I have self-knowledge." Li Xuewu explained on the dining table, "Our industrial system can't adapt to such fine weapon production. There is ready-made homework we don't copy, why do we have to copy the neighbor's?"

"However, helicopters are different—"

He raised his eyebrows and explained softly to his old uncle, "Our Steel Flight, from the beginning, took the exquisite route."

"Our equipment and products are all that system. If you get me an AH-1, our engineers will know what's going on after one look, because the KH-4 currently produced is from the same ancestor."

This is truly not Li Xuewu talking nonsense. The AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter was indeed developed by Bell, and it is of the same origin as the KH-4.

The three helicopters currently produced by Steel Flight can't count as real attack helicopters. He wants Steel Flight to challenge the difficulty.

If even attack helicopters can be built, Steel Flight's industry status in the country will be considered stable.

Moreover, many situations in the future will also change. ===== CHAPTER 1647 =====
