Chapter 1652: A mess

"Oh, you are brothers."

Li Xuewu didn't seem very surprised by the relationship between the two, just smiled.

Zhang Minghua felt more and more uneasy in his heart, not knowing whether the leader already knew or just found out but didn't care about this kind of relationship.

No matter which situation it was, it couldn't be considered a good thing for him or his cousin.

"We are cousins; his father is my second uncle; I can be considered to have watched him grow up."

"Cousins?" Li Xuewu's expression was indifferent, and he asked casually, "He is much younger than you, right?"

"Yes, 9 years younger than me." Zhang Minghua's body remained tense, sitting straight.

He had been observing Li Xuewu's expression changes, but gained nothing.

Zhang Minghua certainly wouldn't doubt Li Xuewu's depth; after all, he was a group leader.

"I originally worked at the Precision Instrument Factory." He nodded and introduced, "We are both graduates of the Mechanical College."

"You joined the factory in '68?"

Li Xuewu's eyebrows raised slightly, he nodded slowly and said, "Is Zhang Mingyuan the same?"

"No, he isn't." Zhang Minghua introduced, "He was recruited by the group on campus."

"Hmm, hmm, influenced by you?"

Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "Brothers fight tigers, father and son go to battle."

"Not entirely." Seeing him smile, Zhang Minghua's tense nerves relaxed slightly; he moved his stiff body and explained, "Our group's welfare benefits are so good; I don't need to persuade him how to choose."

Li Xuewu nodded, but didn't ask anything else. Zhang Minghua instantly felt the pressure, and the smile on his face stiffened a bit.

"Leader..." He hesitated, gathered his courage, and explained, "Mingyuan is too young and lacks consideration in doing things..."

"Elder brother is like a father, after all," Li Xuewu didn't let him finish, looked at him, and said, "But he is no longer a child now."

"At home, you can treat him as a younger brother; in the unit, he is a comrade, a colleague."

Li Xuewu paused and added, "This dimension still needs to be grasped well; distinguish them clearly."

Zhang Minghua's heart skipped a beat; the meaning of the leader's words couldn't be more obvious.

Younger brother Mingyuan didn't know the depth and got involved in the vortex of contradictions between the group's management in Steel City; he didn't even know how to lecture his brother.

He only knew to come to him after something happened; he really wanted to just ignore him, but how could he let go.

Although they weren't biological brothers, how many scholars could a family produce? If they couldn't help each other, who could they rely on in their official careers.

It's just that his foundation in the Red Steel Group was still shallow; he could avoid such contradictions before, and only had work-related contact with group leaders.

Now that the Joint Inspection Working Group was conducting an investigation into his brother, and he came to ask the leader for mercy, who could he find?

Fortunately, at this time, the organization talked to him, and he got an opportunity to be sent down for training.

What's more coincidental was that the unit he was sent down to was exactly the Steel City Metallurgical Plant, which also gave him the opportunity to contact the secretary-general through the opportunity of reporting work.

But obviously, the secretary-general's impression and attitude toward his brother were very bad; he had been mentally prepared for a long time. Where could his brother, a novice who had just entered the group to work, get involved in this kind of vortex.

Even if he advanced further, this trip to Steel City meant his career was entering the fast lane, with a bright future and unlimited prospects.

But in front of the secretary-general, he didn't have the qualifications to speak for his brother, nor did he have the face to ask for mercy.

At least he didn't have this face yet; he hadn't reported to Steel City, let alone created work achievements under Li Xuewu at the Metallurgical Plant and realized his personal value.

This was the most realistic manifestation of the workplace.

Before creating value, he wanted to overdraw "human favors" here at Li Xuewu; even he himself felt bottomless in his heart.

But he still wanted to fight for his brother, and also fight for an opportunity for himself.

Sometimes a desperate situation can turn into a smooth path, and contradictions can also be another kind of opportunity for contact.

"Leader, I don't have any other meaning."

Zhang Minghua straightened his body and said frankly, "I just want to apologize to you on behalf of Mingyuan; after all, he doesn't have this opportunity."

Seeing that Li Xuewu didn't interrupt him, he continued, "He took the initiative to find me, saying he was deceived by others, and confessed what he did in Steel City."

"Deceived by others, huh—" Li Xuewu chuckled and said indifferently, "You treat him as a child, so he is a child; he's an adult, can't he distinguish good from bad?"

"I said the same to him; this matter can't be blamed on others." Zhang Minghua nodded seriously and said, "I have warned him that he must return to Steel City immediately, actively cooperate with the organization's investigation, and confess everything to the Joint Investigation Group without reservation."

Seeing that Li Xuewu's expression finally changed slightly, he knew his statement had an effect, so he continued, "Although I should treat him as a colleague in the unit, I also have responsibility in this matter..."

"Hehe, what responsibility do you have?" Li Xuewu looked at him amusedly and asked, "The father's fault for not teaching the son; he's only 9 years older than him."

He carefully looked at Zhang Minghua, nodded, and said, "Having a sense of responsibility is a good thing, but not everything can be taken on oneself."

"However, he works in the technical department, and you were also in the technical department before; this kind of relationship is indeed not very appropriate."

The smile on Li Xuewu's face disappeared; he looked at him and asked, "Have you reported this relationship to the organization department?"

"Yes, he reported to the organization when he joined the factory," Zhang Minghua nodded and reported, "I also reported to the organization after he came."

"Hmm, good." Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Complete the work handover as soon as possible, adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, and integrate into the work as soon as possible."

Zhang Minghua didn't get the clear answer he wanted, but he also knew that being able to talk to this point today was rare; the secretary-general couldn't guarantee him anything, let alone promise him anything.

"Good, I will as soon as possible, thank you, leader."

Li Xuewu didn't promise him anything, but he still expressed his gratitude; regardless of the result, being able to give him the opportunity to express his attitude was rare.

And a thank you could also be considered his own statement, a tacit understanding between the two.

What he should do and what he should do when he arrives in Steel City were the cause and effect of today's talk.

Li Xuewu watched him leave, snorted, and threw the materials in his hand to the side; as for Zhang Mingyuan, he wasn't worth his great effort; it was entirely this kid looking for death, bumping into it himself.

Since the other party wasn't afraid of death, was he afraid of the trouble of burying him?

One more of him wasn't much, and taking a detour actually made the plan smoother.

However, Zhang Minghua's statement today gave him other ideas; raising his hand high doesn't necessarily mean a favor; it can also be a shackle.

In mid-December, the main persons in charge of the Red Steel Group's branches outside returned to Beijing one after another, returning to the group headquarters to prepare for the year-end summary meeting and the work plan meeting for the new year.

They also needed to attend the Group Employee Representative Congress and the Cadre Representative Meeting.

Li Xuewu is both the person in charge of the Liaodong Industrial Leading Group of the Red Steel Group and a group leader; under the dual identity, he couldn't conduct organizational talks with those in charge of industrial aspects.

Generally speaking, organizational talk is used to describe a communication before a cadre's progress, but in reality, it is part of the cadre adjustment procedure.

Adjustment doesn't mean progress; it could be a horizontal transfer, or it could be a punishment.

And more often, it is a kind of daily organizational work procedure, a channel and way for superiors to understand subordinates' ideological dynamics and work situations.

In the several meetings about to be held, general cadres don't need to participate in the cadre adjustment meeting, which is also the content that cadres look forward to most when returning to the group headquarters.

Li Xuewu holds the vote that determines their fate; no one will underestimate his talk.

However, such large-scale organizational talks generally won't be affected by subjective judgment.

Either two group leaders together, or three group leaders together; there won't be a situation of meeting alone.

Coincidentally, according to the list given by the office, Li Xuewu is in a group with Gu Weijie and Gao Yaqin to conduct talks on construction, literature and art, technology, finance, and the organ mouth.

11 members of the group management committee, plus 12 people including the person in charge of the trade union, Xiong Bencheng.

But Li Huai De doesn't participate in organizational talk activities, and Xiong Bencheng fell ill again without accident.

The 10 people who truly execute organizational talks are divided into four groups to conduct organizational talks on 22 general company-level branch institutions and 13 organ large department units.

Gao Yaqin carried the notebook and walked in front, turned her head and asked Li Xuewu, "Chairman Xiong is ill again; didn't you represent the organ to visit?"

"Hmm, can I visit them all—"

Li Xuewu glared at her amusedly and said, "But speaking of which, Chairman Xiong is also quite something; he falls ill 12 times a year, each time only for 1 month."

"Heh—" Gao Yaqin couldn't help laughing, turned her head and pointed at him, pursed her lips and reminded, "Don't let Chairman Xiong hear it."

"Won't, he still has to thank me."

Li Xuewu said meaningfully, "He might be worrying about our group's work while lying in the hospital bed; he wishes he could send me a banner."

"Then you should speak up—" Gao Yaqin didn't think it was a big deal to watch the fun, raised her eyebrows and said, "We all support you."

"What's the use of your support for me."

Li Xuewu pushed open the meeting room door and saw that Gu Weijie was already sitting inside, talking to the secretary.

He made way and signaled Gao Yaqin to go first.

"I just admire and appreciate this point of yours." Gao Yaqin got the benefit and acted spoiled, pointed at him and said with a smile, "Respecting female comrades."

"Don't raise it to the level of principle; I call this caring for colleagues." Li Xuewu emphasized pretentiously, "I'm not that noble yet; I still need to constantly learn."

"Look, I praised him and he's not happy." Gao Yaqin said to Gu Weijie with a smile, "Deputy Director Gu, you criticize him."

"The secretary-general is being modest—"

Gu Weijie seemed to have realized something, or had already talked to the leader, so she looked very easygoing now, no longer as serious and earnest as before.

She smiled and pointed to the seats on both sides, saying, "You are here, let's start."

"Who talks first?" Gao Yaqin sat on her right, and Li Xuewu could only sit on the left.

"Let's follow the order of the list."

Gu Weijie looked at the list in her hand and then said to the secretary, "Has Comrade Lang Zhennan of United Construction come yet?"

The secretary nodded and turned to go out to invite Lang Zhennan; there was also a secretary doing records in the room.

"United Construction has developed well in the past few years." Gu Weijie looked at the materials about United Construction in her hand and signaled to Li Xuewu, "The secretary-general has put in a lot of effort."

"I'm not being modest." Li Xuewu waved his hand and said with a smile, "To say I didn't put in effort would be too hypocritical, but I still know clearly what work I did myself."

"United Construction developed well; it is the result of the joint efforts of all comrades in the group."

"And no one said it was your effort alone; what are you being modest about—"

Gao Yaqin was joking on purpose; she pursed her lips and said, "It's as if we were hard-praising you, tsk tsk tsk—"

"Hahahaha—" Gu Weijie was amused by her and patted her lightly.

The three were joking when Lang Zhennan walked in somewhat nervously.

To say that a general manager of a general company level, and a person in charge who went down from the Red Star Factory, should have been a bit deep after training for so many years.

However, if it didn't involve oneself, anyone could say they weren't nervous, but this year was Lang Zhennan's critical year; if he achieved results in work, would he be wronged if he fell on the organizational talk?

Li Xuewu had worked with him; during the construction of the Liangma River Industrial Zone, as the office director, he went to the construction management center and the construction site many times to investigate, at that time to master the situation for Li Huai De.

Later he served as secretary-general, and later went to Steel City; the vertical management relationship between the two in work became less.

But to say understanding, to say management strength, the person Lang Zhennan feared most in this room was actually him.

"General Manager Lang is here, sit."

Gao Yaqin was really bad; she called Lang Zhennan General Manager Lang at this level, not on purpose, what else could it be.

It was obvious that the smile on Lang Zhennan's face stiffened, and his body stiffened when he sat down.

Li Xuewu glanced at her, then looked at Lang Zhennan, and asked, "Back from the frontier?"

"Yes, Secretary-General." Lang Zhennan sat straight, looked at him, and reported, "Mining has entrusted us with several projects for acceptance; I was afraid they wouldn't do it carefully enough, so I went over to stare at it."

"Even you, the general manager, have to run to the site; what are your deputy general managers doing?"

Li Xuewu wasn't deliberately making things difficult for him, but this one question made sweat appear on Lang Zhennan's forehead, and his face became bitter again.

Seeing them one by one, Gu Weijie directly stunned Lang Zhennan, and a smile appeared on her pursed lips, but she didn't say anything.

If he couldn't even withstand this bit of test, he couldn't be said to be able to shoulder a heavy responsibility.

"It's the end of the year, after all, afraid of problems."

Lang Zhennan took a deep breath and answered seriously, "After all, our construction company has many risk control points; our management team each covers a direction; whoever's direction has a problem bears the main responsibility."

"Of course, we won't neglect policy work..."

"Who said you neglected work."

Gao Yaqin continued to make things difficult for him, pretending to be serious and saying, "The secretary-general is asking about your attitude and ability toward company management; don't answer the wrong question."

Lang Zhennan really wanted to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Gao Yaqin; when he came back the day before yesterday, he went to the office to visit, and the two chatted happily.

How did she become the image of a wicked mother-in-law as soon as she arrived in this meeting room?

"Division of responsibility is also a management attitude; my management plan for United Construction is to strictly grasp and strictly manage, drawing a red line."

Lang Zhennan tried hard to calm his emotions, looked at Gao Yaqin, and answered, "Ability is reflected in work, reflected in results, not reflected in constraints and restrictions on comrades in the team."

"Talk about your overall impression of the team members of the United Construction General Company."

Gu Weijie finally opened her mouth, leading the topic to the core of the talk, and she added, "Talk about which comrade's work attitude and ability you are most dissatisfied with."

This time he really knelt down; Lang Zhennan heard that this year's organizational talk was unique, and the leaders wouldn't let them go easily, but he didn't expect the difficulty to increase so much directly.

However, from the difficulty of today's talk, one could also see the importance the leaders attached to this talk, and it also indirectly showed that the cadre adjustment this year wouldn't be small, and might even be a large-scale adjustment.

It was also very normal; the Red Steel Group had been established for nearly a year, and there hadn't been a large-scale cadre adjustment in three years; perhaps it would be this year.

Lang Zhennan first reported the main work achievements of United Construction this year, including the Beijing Chemical project he had just obtained; he also specially thanked Secretary-General Li Xuewu for the help he gave United Construction in this project.

Gao Yaqin reminded him that flattery was useless, say something useful.

Lang Zhennan decided that when the talk ended, he would go to Gao Yaqin's office and take back the local products he sent, not leaving a single pine nut for her.

Not sending gifts was for fear of making things difficult; how come sending gifts made things even more difficult? Could it be that he sent too few?

"I am satisfied with the work of the team members of United Construction overall."

Lang Zhennan nodded and said seriously, "But falling on individuals, I still have dissatisfaction in several aspects."

He analyzed the problems exposed by team members in work and organizational life according to the organizational and business management policy documents issued by the group.

Next, he didn't talk about empty things, nor did he make subjective consciousness evaluations, but talked about problems and mistakes that had already been handled.

He couldn't offend people, but he couldn't not say it, so whoever made a mistake in the past year, then sorry, he could only talk about these people.

Anyway, they had already been handled by the group; he couldn't pull them out and shoot them again, right?

Gu Weijie didn't say whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied with his answer, and asked him several questions about organizational work and business work.

Gao Yaqin asked him two questions related to bonus management and personnel.

Only then did it reach Li Xuewu; Li Xuewu didn't make things difficult for him, but asked several professional knowledge questions about construction engineering, which couldn't be considered very deep, but if one didn't study or understand, one couldn't answer.

Lang Zhennan gave correct answers to three questions in a row, but for the fourth one, Li Xuewu raised a question about safety management, which could be considered to have made things difficult for him.

He thought of an answer, but after Li Xuewu analyzed it from several aspects, it was full of loopholes.

Only when he heard the correct answer given by Li Xuewu did he finally feel convinced.

"This is a point in the 'Group Construction Engineering Project Management Rules' updated by the technical department in June; you still have to strengthen business learning."

Li Xuewu nodded slowly, didn't criticize him, just reminded him, "If even you, the general manager, neglect learning, one can see what your team, your company's branch teams will be like."

"Understood, thank you, Secretary-General."

Lang Zhennan nodded solemnly and said seriously, "After going back, I will conduct a review on this issue and organize comrades to carry out learning."

"Hmm, General Manager Gao," Li Xuewu nodded in recognition of his attitude, turned to look at Gao Yaqin and Gu Weijie, and asked, "Deputy Director Gu, do you two have any more questions to ask."

Seeing them shake their heads, Li Xuewu looked at Lang Zhennan again and said, "Then let's stop here."

"Thank you, leader, thank you, Secretary-General, thank you, General Manager Gao, thank you, Deputy Director Gu."

Lang Zhennan stood up, nodded in thanks, and then left under the guidance of the secretary.

The meeting room door closed; Gu Weijie looked at Gao Yaqin beside her and asked, "Didn't he send you local products? Why are you still so serious?"

"The talk is serious by nature."

Gao Yaqin first frowned, then said amusedly, "Just to kill his bad habit; he insisted on sending them, and it wouldn't work if I didn't accept."

She looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Secretary-General, did he send you local products?"

"Sent, I sent them all to the cafeteria." Li Xuewu said indifferently, "I didn't say I wouldn't accept his things, but I didn't say I would let him off."

"That's how it should be!" Gao Yaqin deliberately acted fierce and said, "Those who don't know might think we bowed for those two bags of local products."

"You two—"

Gu Weijie found it funny listening; Lang Zhennan was really something, sending gifts without looking at the measure; these two sitting together didn't look like kind men and women.

The three rested for a while, and the secretary invited Ding Zigui, the general manager of the Literature and Art Publishing House, in.

In fact, just sitting in the lounge, listening to Lang Zhennan sharing, his forehead was already sweating.

Especially knowing that the secretary-general was inside the meeting room, he regretted wanting to slap himself.

He didn't have a grudge against Han Yating, and dared not say he had a grudge against Li Xuewu.

If you ask him if he knew the relationship between Han Yating and Li Xuewu, he certainly knew.

However, Editor-in-Chief Liu Songhua might not know, because Liu Songhua came later.

Han Yating came even later than Liu Songhua; she was transferred from the International Hotel.

Others might not be clear about the specific reasons, but he knew it was purely to take care of Han Yating.

Han Yating's husband's work situation was special; it wasn't easy for her to raise the child alone.

Furthermore, Li Xuewu really promoted her; otherwise, could she have her current position?

But in the process of the group's establishment, especially last year, quite a few cadres were arranged to come down for training, and various departments were replenished with some new cadres.

This caused them to not understand or be familiar with the original relationship of the Red Star Factory.

Editor-in-Chief Liu Songhua was a very professional but also very traditional cadre.

He didn't think a security section chief could do a good job as the general manager of the International Hotel, nor could he do a good job as a deputy editor-in-chief related to text and public opinion.

The first impression was bad, and coupled with Han Yating putting more energy into the child, this further made Liu Songhua dissatisfied with her.

During this period, Ding Zigui took good care of Han Yating, but didn't show it clearly.

And the result?

After Liu Songhua came, the things between the general manager and the editor-in-chief didn't need to be said; Han Yating was uncomfortable being caught in the middle.

However, Li Xuewu got angry, and it wasn't wrong to clean up Ding Zigui, because when Liu Songhua deliberately squeezed out Han Yating, he didn't help.

Not only that, he didn't remind Liu Songhua of the relationship behind Han Yating.

So did Liu Songhua not know the relationship between Li Xuewu and Han Yating as superiors and subordinates?

Certainly didn't know, because the resume didn't write who the superior and subordinate were, right.

Besides, even if he knew, what could he do? Who in the group wasn't a subordinate of the group leader? If everyone had to worry about this relationship, then everyone should just stop working.

Ding Zigui gambled that Liu Songhua didn't know the relationship between Li Xuewu, Han Yating, and Han Yating's husband, so he deliberately tripped Liu Songhua.

It's just that this trip was too big; after Li Xuewu saw it, he got angry and attacked indiscriminately.

Now it's good; Li Xuewu only thought that Han Yating was bullied on his territory, and he didn't manage it.

He had a toothache from anger these days, and even wanted to visit Li Xuewu's house to admit his mistake.

As soon as he entered the meeting room door, he looked at Li Xuewu first, but saw that the other party was looking down at the documents, obviously not wanting to pay attention to him.

He greeted with a bitter smile, but didn't wait for Li Xuewu's question; it was Gao Yaqin, the chief economist, who asked him first.

Gao Yaqin's questions mainly focused on economic aspects, especially the situation of when the three branch institutions of the Literature and Art Publishing House could achieve a balance of payments.

In fact, these questions were enough to make things difficult for him; with his ability, being able to make the publishing house into its current scale and strength was already very hard and not easy.

However, this question was also in his expectation; speaking the abdominal draft he had prepared long ago, he could also make Gao Yaqin nod in satisfaction.

Gu Weijie looked at Li Xuewu, reminding him that it was his turn to ask.

Li Xuewu then raised his head, looked at Ding Zigui, and asked, "How do you view the significance of management attributes on the issue of organizational ecological health."

Here it comes! Here it comes!

Ding Zigui knew that he would inevitably encounter this difficulty today, so the look he looked at Li Xuewu carried deep guilt and self-blame.

"I must admit that there are loopholes and responsibilities in the management of the publishing house."

He nodded sincerely and said, "I have personally realized the severity of the problem, and have already conducted a self-review at the organizational meeting, and also requested team members to carry out criticism and self-criticism."

"At the first time when relevant problems were exposed, we still lacked response means and emergency handling mechanisms; this is also a problem of ours."

Ding Zigui didn't shirk the problem, but instead expanded on this problem.

Not avoiding problems, seeking truth from facts, first talking about problems, then talking about handling, and finally talking about understanding and summary.

Gu Weijie and Gao Yaqin listened and nodded repeatedly, expressing recognition; Li Xuewu just glanced at him, didn't say it was okay, and didn't say it wasn't.

Ding Zigui knew that he was fine for the time being, and just waited for the future.

Don't look at the fact that they also talked and laughed at Li Huai De's card table, but those who know Li Xuewu know that this person's temper belongs to a dog.

He turns his face when he says he turns his face, and he won't give you face when he turns his face.

Playing cards together doesn't count as any private friendship; being able to sit at that table only shows that Li Huai De needs him, and doesn't mean Li Xuewu also needs him.

Some things can be thought but not said; saying them makes even oneself feel disheartened.

In terms of seniority, Li Xuewu is younger and greener than him; he was a section chief when Li Xuewu hadn't even transferred yet; who could have thought of the current situation.

But he still fears Li Xuewu; the other party sits there without anger and prestige, and ordinary people can't bear the aura on him.

Some time ago, Li Xuewu got angry in Li Huai De's office, and Deputy Secretary-General Chen immediately rolled away.

Even Old Li has to endure Li Xuewu's temper; what am I?

However, this problem ends here; Li Xuewu is not so petty that he will chase him and not let go because of this matter.

Besides, what should have been handled has been handled; he received the news at the first time yesterday.

It has to be said that the saying "don't offend anyone, don't offend the secretary-general" is really accurate.

Management budget cut in half, next year the bonuses of everyone in the publishing house will fall to the bottom.

Not to mention the dissatisfaction of comrades toward him, just saying that official cars are not allowed to be changed for 5 years is obviously emotional.

Ding Zigui likes to play tricks when doing things; when he was the director of the office and Li Xuewu was his deputy director, he played many tricks.

This time he suffered a big loss, but he wasn't reconciled to bearing it alone, so he told Liu Songhua about the origin of the problem.

Liu Songhua was also shocked after hearing it; he didn't expect that the two were fighting, taking the most inconspicuous Han Yating as a raft, but kicked the iron plate.

Ding Zigui told Liu Songhua the whole story of this matter, which also hid his own small thoughts.

He used Li Xuewu to suppress Liu Songhua, and also exposed Han Yating, reminding Liu Songhua not to be too presumptuous.

Although he suffered a big loss at Li Xuewu's place, he picked up a cheap deal at Liu Songhua's place.

One round trip, not a big loss.

In fact, when Ding Zigui was adjusted to the publishing house, he knew that he had lost the opportunity and possibility of advancing further.

If there was an opportunity, he wouldn't have come to work at the publishing house.

Li Huai De still has opinions on him; now offending another Li Xuewu doesn't matter.

As long as he doesn't make things difficult for him, he wants to retire here.

If he can hold Liu Songhua, it can be considered a gain.

Gu Weijie seemed to know the problem between the two, but didn't delve into this problem.

In fact, arranging for the Literature and Art Publishing House to have a talk in this group is a bit inappropriate; Gu Weijie is responsible for organizational and propaganda work, which is his competent leader.

The reason Li Xuewu didn't say much was also to take care of Gu Weijie's face.

If he really hit Ding Zigui's face, Gu Weijie's face wouldn't look good either.

Unity of team members is the most important.

Gu Weijie asked about the key work arrangements of the Literature and Art Publishing House for next year, and also asked about the organizational construction and business construction work of the TV station.

Red Star TV Station, this project has been working on it, but hasn't thrown money at the beginning.

Without professional technical personnel, without mature program editing and operation personnel, even if the equipment is bought back, it will just gather dust.

And now technology is developing very fast; equipment changes every year, and buying it a year later is safer.

So the organizational structure of the TV station has been built, relevant programs are also being produced and improved, and supporting equipment is also being purchased bit by bit.

The broadcast of existing programs still borrows the equipment and channels of Beijing TV Station.

Saying it's borrowing is actually learning and training; Ding Zigui was very confident in the introduction, expecting to officially operate next year.

Li Xuewu held a conservative attitude toward this; a TV station is not a radio station, and it's not as simple as adding a word.

Just program review and production is a big article; he doesn't think the Red Steel Group has the experience and ability in this regard.

Except for news, don't think about live broadcasts; it's considered qualified if recorded broadcasts can meet the broadcast standards.

With Gu Weijie letting it go, he passed the test, but almost fell when going out, which made Gao Yaqin almost laugh out loud.

"How is this calculated?"

Seeing Li Xuewu come in, Xu Sinian hurriedly extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray.

He and Kong Xiaobo and others were sitting in Li Xuewu's office talking nonsense, obviously waiting for the leader to return.

Li Xuewu's talk lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon; they were idle after talking.

Bi Yuding just came back from talking, full of sorrow, holding a cigarette without lighting it.

"Leader, are you finished here?"

Xu Sinian and others stood up, watched him walk back to sit behind the desk, and then sat down.

"Hmm, how did you talk?"

Li Xuewu put away the notebook and asked casually.

Before Xu Sinian could complain, Kuang Yusheng sprayed first.

"I have never seen such nitpicking; what 'safety management is more important than Mount Tai'; do I not know this? Do I need him to say it?"

He grabbed his hair angrily and said, "I really wanted to ask him then, do you understand industrial management, do you understand site management."

"Exactly, holding the book to test the regulations, thinking we are taking the college entrance examination?"

Xu Sinian helped out on the side, "We have to memorize the regulations; can we still go down and be safety officers?"

"Who are you talking about?" Li Xuewu frowned slightly and looked at the two, "Deputy Director Zhou?"

"Who else could it be!" Kuang Yusheng had old qualifications and a bastard temper, spat and cursed, "It can't be General Manager Xue and General Manager Zhang."

Zhou Wanquan, Xue Zhifu, and Zhang Jingsong are responsible for organizational talks on industrial aspects.

As long as it is industry, most of it is in Liaodong, so it can't escape Li Xuewu's pass.

Xue Zhifu and Zhang Jingsong are easy to talk to; one is responsible for engineering construction, and one is responsible for logistics business, only Zhou Wanquan.

Kong Xiaobo also pulled out a cigarette, holding back from lighting it, but the deeply frowned eyebrows showed the suffering in his heart.

Kuang Yusheng can curse in this room, Xu Sinian can help, but only he cannot speak.

He has no foundation in the group; although he has worked in Liaodong for so many years and has his own disciples in the technical department, he is an outsider after all.

The 701 project team brought by Kong Xiaobo had long been split up; the one who did best was Shangguan Qi, deputy director of the Aircraft Research Institute.

He couldn't say it, the words could only be blocked in his heart, but the depressed mood could be expressed through his expression.

Kuang Yusheng can curse, and no one will set obstacles on his path of progress.

But he can't; if he says nothing, the obstacles that should be there will still be there.

If he is delayed in progress because of Deputy Director Zhou's difficulty this year, then his future will be hanging.

The progress speed of young cadres in the Red Steel Group is quite fierce; those cadres with university degrees who have been trained for three to five years are top-heavy in job competition, making those old middle-level cadres cry out in pain.

To put it this way, they have to wait to learn the policy documents issued by the superiors, but these young cadres take them and can talk about them clearly, and can also combine the experience of training at the grassroots level to expand discussions.

Especially in business work, daring to do and daring to take responsibility, no burden, no baggage.

What leader's meaning, what consequences at one's own risk, do it first.

These young cadres have received the support of the group management committee; general manager Li Huai De has repeatedly proposed at meetings to give young cadres more opportunities.

This is still giving opportunities; if it continues, there will be no one over 35 below the middle level.

Everyone says the Red Steel Group is developing rapidly and executing thoroughly; these young cadres who rushed up have brains, education, and energy; in another three to five years, Kong Xiaobo is sure that he will have to wait for retirement and let the virtuous.

Enter the group?

Now the position in the group is not easy to do; some persons in charge of large departments are talents dug from universities who can do academic research and management.

Now the situation is not good; these people can come to the Red Steel Group to do management, which is easier than in school.

So these people also show a trend of involution when facing the competition of those branch institution persons in charge below.

Kong Xiaobo himself is a professional talent, can lead teams, and can lead scientific research.

But when facing those big talents in large departments, he still feels powerless.

He even wants to let the virtuous early; mixing in the research institute until retirement is considered a gain.

"Complaining, only know how to complain."

Li Xuewu raised his chin and asked, "Didn't find the reason from yourself?"

"What's wrong with picking regulations?" He frowned and asked, "Shouldn't you memorize them?"

Saying this, no one in the office dared to speak, all listening to his lecture.

Li Xuewu pulled the regulations from the shelf and threw them on the desk, pointed at the thick regulations and said to the few, "If you are not convinced, test me now, test me casually, and see if I can answer."

"If I can't answer, I'll treat you to dinner tonight, and I'll go to Deputy Director Zhou to apologize tomorrow, without you bearing the responsibility."

He tapped the table with his finger and said, "Dare, is there anyone who dares to make this bet with me?"

The few people in the room were still very wise; it wasn't that they were afraid of really testing Li Xuewu, and if he couldn't answer, Li Xuewu wouldn't admit it and would retaliate against them.

It was because they all knew that Li Xuewu was very clear about these regulations.

To put it this way, almost all the regulations of the Red Steel Group were reviewed by him.

And many regulations were written by him; you ask him about regulations, isn't this a joke.

Usually, when Li Xuewu goes down to investigate, he will randomly check the workshop persons in charge and safety officers on relevant questions; if they can't answer, they will be punished.

They didn't dare to ask, and didn't dare to speak.

Li Xuewu's gaze swept over the few, snorted, and said, "Why don't you speak? Mute?"

"We don't have your ability," Xu Sinian lowered his head, grinned and said, "Otherwise, why would you be our leader."

"Ah, the leader must know everything."

Li Xuewu looked at him and nodded, saying, "Was I born knowing how?"

"What did I say when I held the meeting? Did I let you pay attention to details, did I emphasize paying attention to attitude."

He pointed at the few and said with hatred for iron not becoming steel, "When the real chapter comes, you are numb."

"You complain about this and that here, is it useful? I won't help you."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "Go back and memorize the regulations; eat after you memorize them."

"Really?" Xu Sinian looked at him, then looked at the others, and then said, "Then we will all starve to death tomorrow."

"Get out, get out, get out—" Li Xuewu glared at him and cursed, "Still think it's not embarrassing enough!" ===== CHAPTER 1653 =====
