Chapter 193: You're Still Young, Don't Be Too Arrogant

~36 min read 7,064 words

Li Xuewu tried pushing Hu Zhengquan's door, and seeing there were no mechanisms or unusual sounds, he took out the wire and metal sheet he had prepared and fiddled with the lock on the door.

The five security team members who followed left two at the stairwell, and the remaining three stood behind Li Xuewu with guns, watching Li Xuewu pick the lock. The three looked at each other and turned their heads away in unison.

"Click." The door lock at this time was just so-so. This "universal key" Wen San'er gave him was really as "universal" as he said.

Wen San'er had wide connections. As soon as Li Xuewu said he wanted tools to pick a lock, he went out for a while and found this thing back.

He had originally thought about treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor. If he really couldn't open it, Li Xuewu was prepared to smash the lock; anyway, they were almost at the point of tearing off their masks.

He removed the lock, used the long gun to hold the door handle, and pushed it open gently. The three team members behind him were all watching Li Xuewu nervously.

Until the door was completely opened, he didn't see any danger.

It made sense; this guy shouldn't have been prepared to jump the wall, so he wouldn't have put any dangerous goods in a residential building. But his own mouth was "consecrated"—if he said there was nothing, there would be nothing. It was better not to say his guesses out loud.

He pursed his lips and used the long gun as a probe, letting the three team members guard the door while he walked into Hu Zhengquan's home.

This was an apartment-style residence. Entering the door was the living room, inside the living room was the bedroom, and inside the bedroom was the balcony. It was a straight-barrel design with a very simple layout, and the indoor furniture and furnishings were also very plain.

It really looked like what was written in the investigation report: this person was a true gentleman who liked quiet and liked to be alone.

But Li Xuewu wouldn't believe a single word of the investigation report now; that was just something to fool people.

The living room only had a cabinet and a set of sofas. Li Xuewu pulled open the cabinet to look; they were all daily items. He looked at other places where things could be hidden, but there was nothing special. It was just that a set of fishing rods was placed on the cabinet at the door, a bow and arrow were hanging on the wall, and a quiver was hanging on a hook, and there were indeed more than ten arrows in it.

It seemed this guy's interests were quite broad, but the investigation report didn't say this guy liked archery or hunting.

Li Xuewu took down the quiver to look; they were indeed commonly used because the arrowheads were very sharp. He took down the bow and tried it; the bowstring was very tight. It was commonly used; there was no mistake.

He put the bow and arrow back in place and walked toward the bedroom. The quilt in the bedroom was folded very neatly, and he pulled open the wardrobe to look; the clothes were also folded very neatly, completely different from the living environment of a single man in Li Xuewu's impression.

He looked under the bed; it was very clean, and there was nothing, not even dust. He stood at the window that was monitored by the bookstore every day, lifted a corner of the curtain to look out. The view was very open; opposite was the club, and downstairs he could see the guard room of the stationery factory. He could even see the guard smoking in the room clearly.

He looked up at the ceiling. Except for the curtain rack being installed very firmly, there was nothing else. Why did he say the curtain rack was installed very firmly? Because Li Xuewu saw that the curtain rack was nailed into the wall with steel bars.

What was this for? Using the curtain rack to "swing"? There wasn't even a woman; did he need such fancy things?

Seeing that the bedroom and balcony were also nothing special, he searched the cabinets, but besides some daily items, there was nothing.

Li Xuewu walked around with his hands behind his back and found nothing. He turned and walked out. Passing by the eight-immortal table in the living room, he placed a bullet upright on the table.

He looked at the furnishings in the room, turned off the light at the door, and the whole room fell into darkness.

"Click." Li Xuewu locked the door again and took the people downstairs to the bookstore.

After returning to the second floor of the bookstore, he let the few team members continue to rest, while he stood at the window watching.

During the wait, Li Xuewu smoked a few cigarettes to refresh himself. When the club ended, Li Xuewu took the telescope and began to observe.

It was still the same as the first day. The two cars left separately, and some people walked in groups toward the residential area.

Hu Zhengquan was the last to come out. When he walked to the door, he looked toward his home, his body paused for a moment, and he slowly turned around and looked toward the bookstore.

Li Xuewu was looking at Hu Zhengquan, who was standing at the entrance of the club, through the telescope on the second floor of the bookstore.

Although Hu Zhengquan couldn't see Li Xuewu, he could feel Li Xuewu's presence. He gestured with his fingers into the shape of a gun, fired a shot at the bookstore, and turned to walk home.

"Pfft, still playing this with me? Learning from others to play the 'arrogant' act?"

Li Xuewu sneered and shook his head, his gaze continuing to follow Hu Zhengquan until he went upstairs and turned on the light.

He didn't know what reaction Hu Zhengquan would have if he saw his little joke. He was playing fake with him, but what he was playing with him was real.

Not long after, the curtain on the third floor was pulled open. In Li Xuewu's telescope, Hu Zhengquan was holding his arms, holding a glass of wine, standing at the window looking this way.

Not knowing if he could feel Li Xuewu's presence, Hu Zhengquan raised his white wine glass to toast Li Xuewu, and then spilled it on the balcony.

"Pfft~"

Li Xuewu sneered. This old bastard could only play these little tricks. He didn't know what level he was at, playing psychological warfare with him.

Counting it up, the two could be considered "contemporaries." Li Xuewu had no impulse to rush over and beat him up. It was like a cat and a mouse; if you don't play until you're tired, you don't want to eat.

After spilling the wine, Hu Zhengquan pulled the curtain shut again, and less than five minutes later, he turned off the light.

Li Xuewu handed the telescope to the team member, took his water cup, poured a cup of water from the thermos on the cabinet, and sat in the chair in deep thought.

The tricks these rats could play were just these, but there might be other support. Now he only knew of one person, but he could be sure that this wasn't the only one.

The history of the steel mill was very complicated, and the composition of the old workers in the steel mill was also very complicated. Moreover, the base of old workers was particularly large, and there was no way to conduct a dragnet screening. He could only start from a breakthrough point and comb toward both ends.

Thinking of the situation he saw today, Li Xuewu hated Wang Jindong to death. The investigation reports of the last two periods were all issued by Wang Jindong. With Wang Jindong's character, if he said he didn't take black money, Li Xuewu would dare to dig him out of the ground to confront him.

When Liu Zhaolun and Gao Fengkun went upstairs, seeing Li Xuewu sitting in the room, they came to Li Xuewu and reported: "Li Kezhang."

Li Xuewu didn't open his eyes, but continued to lie back in the chair, waved his hand at the two, and said: "Sit and talk."

Both sat opposite Li Xuewu. Gao Fengkun reported first: "Li Kezhang, the target met many people today. Perhaps he discovered us, and he looked at us a few times, but he didn't avoid us when talking."

Liu Zhaolun continued to report: "We heard him speaking foreign languages with those professors and foreigners. We couldn't understand, but a foreigner was speaking broken Chinese, as if saying he was going fishing on Sunday, but I'm not sure if it was a declarative sentence or an interrogative sentence."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "It's okay, he goes fishing every Sunday, so you continue to monitor him on Sunday."

After giving instructions to the few, Li Xuewu opened his eyes, stood up, glanced at Hu Zhengquan's side, and went to the next room to sleep.

He didn't sleep very comfortably this night. The long wooden chair was very hard, and the indoor temperature was very low. He got up at night and drank a few jars of hot water before he could fall asleep.

Arriving at the next day, which was Saturday morning, Li Xuewu looked at his watch. It was 4:10. He stretched his stiff waist, gave instructions to the few people on duty to leave two people to follow in the morning, and let the others take their things and leave first. After speaking, he went downstairs first, rode his bike, and went home.

Today, Li Xuewu planned to send Li Xuecai and Li Xue to school. Although those few scumbags had been caught, he still felt a bit uneasy in his heart, so he returned home early.

Rushing back to the courtyard and seeing that it was still early, he went to the inverted room to take a nap. This sleep was really fragrant. Although it couldn't relieve the fatigue of last night, it gave Li Xuewu some energy.

Getting up and having breakfast with Great-Grandpa and Old Biaozi, he took Old Biaozi and went to the front courtyard home, wanting to send the two to school separately with Old Biaozi.

But as soon as he entered the house, he saw two young men standing in the room talking to Liu Yin, who was a bit stunned.

Seeing his son enter, Liu Yin said to Li Xuewu: "Xuewu, this is... this is the security personnel sent by your unit, saying they are here to protect Xuecai and Li Xue... this?"

Because of what happened last night, the Li family members were all a bit nervous. Although Li Xuewu had handled those people decisively last night, the case hadn't been finished yet, so the arrival of people this morning also caused quite a shock to the Li family.

Those two people saw Li Xuewu enter and turned around. Li Xuewu heard his mother say they were security from the steel mill, but he hadn't seen these two people himself.

The young man who was leading handed a document to Li Xuewu. Li Xuewu opened the document with suspicion and looked at it, but was stunned.

The military unit number starting with 83, also called XX Guard Regiment, why did these people come to the door?

Seeing Li Xuewu stunned, the young man named Qi Xin said: "It was Li Kezhang Dong who called, and Leader Gu arranged for us to come over."

So it was Leader Gu's guards. Leader Gu's guards could also be hung under the Guard Regiment. In this way, Li Xuewu understood.

It must have been his teacher who was worried about the safety of his family, didn't trust the security strength of the steel mill, and directly called his old leader for help, which was why there was this arrangement this morning.

Li Xuewu saluted the two and said: "You two have worked hard. Have you had breakfast?"

Qi Xin returned the salute and said: "Don't bother. We had already eaten when we came out. The leader gave instructions that we will accompany your family these few days, and we have already driven the car over."

It seemed these guards were prepared to use cars to pick up and drop off his family for work and school.

Li Xuewu hesitated: "This isn't appropriate, right? My family and I haven't reached that level."

Qi Xin nodded to Li Xuewu: "The leader gave instructions to handle special matters specially, which is also convenient for us to protect."

Seeing Qi Xin speak with certainty, Li Xuewu couldn't decline, and explained the reason to his father, Li Xuecai, and Li Xue. He also spoke directly about the slight danger this time, and now that his teacher had good intentions, it wasn't easy to decline, which eliminated the family's doubts.

Although Li Shun listened to his son's explanation, he still hesitated and said: "Our courtyard is right at the door, I can just walk there, no need for a car."

Qi Xin replied: "We brought four people. One will follow you walking to work, one will stay at your home, I will take the bus with Li Xuewu's two comrades, and the driver will drive the car to send them to school and send them back in the afternoon."

Qi Xin didn't talk about the safety issue during work hours. In this era, there were armed guards standing at the school gates, whether it was middle school, high school, or even university.

Not to mention bringing guns in, even if you brought cannons in, they could beat you out. The armed forces in the units now were terrifyingly strong. Li Xuewu had seen artillery and anti-aircraft guns in the warehouse of the steel mill.

*Good heavens*, they could hit everything in the sky and on the ground. Whoever dared to go to the unit to make trouble was really an old birthday star eating arsenic—tired of living.

Seeing that his family had already had breakfast, under Qi Xin's arrangement, Father Li Shun went one way, Li Xuewu's two went another way, and Li Xuecai and Li Xue went another way, all leaving the door accompanied by security.

Li Xuewu's two were just curious and didn't ask much. They didn't want to experience the stimulation of their younger brother and sister last night again, so it was nothing; they were just a bit curious about these people.

Li Xuecai and Li Xue were very excited. It was the first time in these years they had taken a small car to school, especially with security personnel accompanying them. In the past, they envied the special classmates in their class who had this treatment, and today they enjoyed it once themselves, feeling that their Second Brother was omnipotent.

Li Shun was a bit unaccustomed to it. Walking on the street, he always turned his head to look at the security. Fortunately, the people Qi Xin brought were all wearing casual clothes, mixed in the crowd, and even if they followed Li Shun, they weren't eye-catching.

Li Xuewu sent the three groups of people away, turned his head to look, and saw that there was still a young man named Ding Sheng left at home. Li Xuewu took out a box of Zhonghua cigarettes and stuffed it into the young man's pocket.

Ding Sheng said he didn't want it no matter what. Li Xuewu stuffed it into his pocket firmly and said: "I didn't expect to alarm Leader Gu. Thank you for helping me watch over this side."

Ding Sheng had no choice but to accept the cigarettes and whispered to Li Xuewu: "You go do your work. We all carry weapons, and we guarantee nothing will happen."

Li Xuewu nodded, gave instructions to Liu Yin to make the lunch better, and went out to work.

He hadn't slept well last night, and he tossed and turned all morning today, so Li Xuewu's energy was a bit insufficient. Even though he rode to the steel mill against the wind, he didn't wake up.

After entering the steel mill, he didn't stay at the door, greeted the security, parked the car, and went upstairs.

He had originally planned to go to the main building to report the action last night to Dong Wenxue and thank his teacher for the arrangement, but as soon as he walked to the door of the main building, he saw that the bulletin board said there was a meeting this morning, and Dong Wenxue, a deputy section chief, was also on the list.

He rubbed his face and walked back, thinking about going back to the office to arrange the work accumulated yesterday afternoon and today's work.

Just after finishing the morning work, he received a call from Dong Wenxue, and the tone was very urgent.

"Xuewu, there's a situation. You need to be mentally prepared. At the morning meeting of the leadership team, the Security Section was named and criticized by Factory Director Yang. The center of the problem is chaotic actions, lack of organization, and lack of discipline. The situation learned by Li Kezhang Fu is..."

Before Dong Wenxue finished speaking, the door of Li Xuewu's office was knocked twice, and then pushed open.

Seeing it was the factory office secretary who entered without waiting for his greeting, Li Xuewu frowned and said to the receiver: "Then let's leave it at that for now."

At this time, the receiver of the phone was like the speakerphone of a later generation, the sound was very loud, so generally, people didn't put the receiver too close to their ears when making calls.

Dong Wenxue on the other end of the phone also heard the implication in Li Xuewu's words, stopped speaking, and said four words before hanging up: "Be cautious in words and actions."

Li Xuewu replied: "I know," hung up the phone, and then focused his gaze on the factory office secretary who had entered.

The factory office secretary came with the order of Factory Office Director Xu Sinian. Seeing the impolite tone of his director when giving him tasks, he felt that coming here was bringing prestige. He didn't expect that he was prepared to give this young section chief a warning, knocking and entering impolitely, but was scattered by that sharp gaze, and his feet were nailed to the door.

This "smiling tiger" was really as terrifying as the rumors said, especially when his eyebrows stood up, the corners of his eyes narrowed, and that look that seemed to choose people to eat, matched with that living centipede-style scar on his face, made him look even more ferocious and terrifying.

Seeing Li Xuewu not speaking but just looking at him, and thinking that his director was still waiting, he couldn't afford to delay. He gathered his courage, hardened his heart, and said: "Li Ke, our director invites you over."

Li Xuewu had already known that the situation had changed after his teacher's reminder just now, but no matter how big the change was, he was still the Security Li Kezhang now, and not just anyone could act wildly in front of him.

Seeing Li Xuewu not speaking and having no reaction, the factory office secretary said again: "Li Ke, the director is waiting anxiously, look..."

But Li Xuewu just sat there motionless, eyes narrowed, staring at the secretary standing uneasily at the door.

The factory office secretary also knew that he had been arrogant today and kicked an iron plate. He knew that he wouldn't be able to get away with it if he didn't soften his attitude today. He took a step back and closed the office door gently.

Just as he wanted to knock, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be someone on his left. He turned his head sharply and saw more than a dozen people, either wearing police uniforms or security uniforms, all looking at him seriously, as if they would swarm up if he had any abnormal movements.

The secretary's face twitched unnaturally, he squeezed out a polite smile, slowly turned his head, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had chosen to soften his attitude just now, rather than standing up to him, otherwise, it might be terrible today.

He reached out his hand and knocked on the door lightly. After waiting for about 1 minute, the factory office secretary was already sweating on his forehead. Seeing that there was no response from inside, he gathered his courage and knocked twice more, only then did he hear Li Xuewu's "Come in" sound.

This "Come in" was like the sound of nature, rescuing the factory office secretary from those cold gazes outside the door.

He couldn't wait to push the door open, and also seemed afraid of provoking Li Xuewu, so he controlled the force of opening the door so that it wouldn't make a "creaking" sound.

Standing at the door and looking at that "smiling tiger" in the office again, sure enough, what was sitting behind the desk was a smiling face full of warm sunshine that had just been raised.

"Something up?"

Seeing this Li Kezhang who was acting so "well," the factory office secretary had no choice but to accompany him.

"Li Ke, hello, I am factory office secretary Sun Jia. Factory Office Director Xu has something to find you, and specially sent me to invite you over."

Li Xuewu put down his fountain pen and said to the factory office secretary: "Oh my, Director Xu could have just called me if he had something. Director Xu is busy with official business, and your factory office could also have called. How dare I trouble you to run here?"

Factory office secretary Sun Jia wanted to cry now. This was too stimulating. It was like changing faces in Sichuan opera, just like two people, his face changed as soon as he said it would.

He even wanted a phone call to notify him? He almost folded here just by coming to invite him personally. If he notified him by phone, he would have to be extra careful when he went out in the future.

Just this made his back feel cold. He always felt that those people outside were looking at the back of his head and his crotch.

Too brutal. When did this Security Section become so fierce? When did it become so united?

"Li Ke, you are too polite. Our factory office is just to serve various departments of the organization, it should be, it should be."

Seeing that the factory office secretary was also a person who could bend and stretch, Li Xuewu didn't make things too difficult for him, giving him a small lesson to grow his eyes, so that he wouldn't know who he had offended if he was beaten with a sap on the road in the future.

"Then don't delay time, let's go, don't let Director Xu wait too long."

Seeing that Li Xuewu was willing to go, Sun Jia was naturally begging for it. He walked out of the office tremblingly, but saw that there was no one in the corridor.

Did he have hallucinations? Impossible!

This Security Section was too damn evil. He couldn't come again next time.

Seeing Sun Jia stunned at the door, Li Xuewu coughed, and Sun Jia reacted, walked downstairs with a red face, and glanced into the room when passing by the Security Section office, seeing a young man look up and smile at him with a crooked mouth, he hurriedly turned his head away.

It was him! It was them! Not a hallucination!

MD, whoever let him come to the Security Section to notify this kind of thing again, he would definitely curse his mother.

Li Xuewu saw that the factory office secretary seemed to have soft legs, almost fell when going downstairs, and if it weren't for Li Xuewu's quick hands and eyes to support him, he would really look like he was coming here to "touch porcelain."

"You factory office secretaries shouldn't just sit in the office and flatter the leaders, you should also come out and move around. Look, these knees are soft, obviously calcium deficiency."

Facing Li Xuewu's sarcasm, Sun Jia didn't dare to reply, and could only try to squeeze out a "polite" smile on his thin face.

It wasn't that he wasn't tough, but he was really afraid of "being fractured" in this auxiliary building, after all, there was no one on the stairs.

Under the guidance of the factory office secretary, Li Xuewu entered the office of Factory Office Director Xu Sinian.

Sun Jia opened the door first. Before Sun Jia could report, Li Xuewu stepped aside from Sun Jia's body and walked in, laughing loudly at Xu Sinian: "My Director Xu, my Old Brother Xu, what kind of play are you playing? Asking the secretary to invite me, what? Did I offend you? Why humiliate your brother like this? Forget it, I've come to apologize with a thorn on my back. Tell me what I did to wrong you, and you can scold me."

Sun Jia stood at the door, stunned. Who was it that just taught someone who entered without knocking? Whose people taught someone who was "impolite"? Was that a hallucination just now? Did this person have any face at all?

Xu Sinian had given instructions to the secretary to give this Li Kezhang a warning when he went over, for the sake of the following conversation. But seeing Li Xuewu say this, and the secretary being in such a stunned state, he thought that this little secretary must have never played with this smiling tiger.

He waved his hand at the useless little secretary to let him get out quickly, while he stood up and personally poured a cup of tea for Li Xuewu.

Xu Sinian was prepared to take this opportunity to clean up Li Xuewu. One was to avenge the last time, the second was to flatter the leader, and the third was habit. Welcoming the top and stepping on the bottom was the consistent style of the factory office.

Now it was good, Li Xuewu looked like he had a very good relationship with him, and he had suffered a great grievance. He recognized the punishment as soon as he entered the room, which made it difficult for Xu Sinian to start.

When did the Security Section produce such a slippery character, it was really impossible to start.

"Brother, you misunderstood. It's not that your brother is playing fake with you, it's really... sigh... you've caused a big disaster this time, you've poked a big hole, and your brother is also following orders, so I can only handle it according to the procedure."

Li Xuewu naturally knew what Xu Sinian wanted to say, but how could he let him follow the topic? He walked behind the tea table, sat on the sofa, and said to Xu Sinian shamelessly: "How big a disaster? How big a hole? Our section chief is Fu Bin, that's my old leader, and you, Director Xu, are my own brother. I've only been here for half a month and handled two cases, how big a disaster can it be to smash me down?"

Xu Sinian wanted to curse. When did he become your brother? I'm almost two generations older than you, and you're climbing up the pole.

He had only met this smiling tiger less than ten times in total, and had only sat together to talk and drink once or twice. How did he become a brother? Where did it come from? Who admitted it?

But this piece of dog-skin plaster was already stuck on his body, and it seemed quite difficult to peel it off. It looked like he was going to act shamelessly. It seemed that coming hard wouldn't work. Forget it, brother is brother.

"Brother, it's not that your brother won't help you. Look at you, you investigate cases, but why did you investigate to Huaqing University? This morning, the Security Li Kezhang of Huaqing University personally blocked Factory Director Yang's door, made a big scene, and said that if he didn't get an explanation, he would go to the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry. He is still waiting for an answer in the factory director's office."

Seeing Li Xuewu listening carefully, he softened his tone again and said: "You said Li Kezhang Fu is your old leader. Li Kezhang Fu was also scolded bloody by Factory Director Yang today. The first one to be criticized was Li Kezhang Fu. There was really no other way, so I found you."

Li Xuewu understood what it meant. It seemed this was to take him out to take the blame, to give the Security Li Kezhang of Huaqing University an explanation by punishing him.

Xu Sinian saw that Li Xuewu had no smile on his face and was already cold. He was afraid that he would go on a rampage in his place, and he couldn't handle this tiger. He hesitated and patted Li Xuewu's thigh, persuading: "You are ultimately a person of our steel mill. People will make mistakes. When you go to the factory director's office, have a better attitude and admit your mistakes voluntarily. The factory director still cherishes young talent, and there will still be opportunities in the future."

Li Xuewu shook the corners of his eyes. It seemed that this punishment was not small, looking like he was going to be removed from his post. Since he was prepared to be removed, what was there to be polite about?

The thing not to believe most is the leader's sentence "cherish young talent, there will still be opportunities in the future." This sentence can hang you until you retire.

Admit mistakes? Accept punishment? Then wait for the leader's pity to reward an official position?

In his previous life, he had suffered this anger countless times. He had traveled through time, and he was still suffering this anger?

"Brother, you just lead me there, I'll go see what kind of character the security cadre of the university is."

Xu Sinian saw Li Xuewu's attitude and knew it was going to be bad. *Damn it*, he had already told the factory director, this matter had to be slowed down.

Where did he think Factory Director Yang would remember the pot of the last ten-thousand-yuan theft case? This time, it was new hatred and old hatred together. He just didn't know if there was any "merit" from Huang Ping of the reception center. *Heh*, this kid couldn't run away.

"Brother, you're still young, don't be too arrogant."

Li Xuewu wasn't aiming at Xu Sinian. This was an old rabbit, but he couldn't hold back his anger. He shouted at the door: "If you're not arrogant, are you still a young person? If you have any tricks, use them, I'll take them..."

Li Xuewu wanted to scold again, but his mouth was covered by Xu Sinian's begging expression.

"I said brother, why do you have such a big temper, like a firecracker, lighting up as soon as it's lit."

While smoothing Li Xuewu's chest, he persuaded him. *Heh*, Xu Sinian felt so aggrieved. He was originally supposed to call Li Xuewu over to scold him according to the factory director's request, to give him a warning, so it would be easy to communicate at the factory director's place. Now it was good, he hadn't given the warning yet, but he gave him a surprise.

Xu Sinian knew what kind of temper this guy had. If he really started to do it, let alone the factory director, even if all the people on this floor added together, they couldn't beat him.

"Calm down, brother, calm down, it's not worth it to ruin your body."

Li Xuewu knew that his scolding must have been heard by Factory Director Yang. Seeing Xu Sinian let go of his hand, he lowered his voice but still used a voice that could be heard over there: "What's wrong with me? Which time did I handle a case with selfish motives? Did I handle the case for myself? Wasn't it for the steel mill, wasn't it for the security mission? Which time did the Security Section not listen to the leader's instructions? Even the cowardly look of the reception center, what did I say? You, Director Xu, said one word, look at my small..."

Xu Sinian hurriedly interrupted: "I know, I know, brother, I beg you, keep your voice down. Who doesn't know your prestige, Li Ke? Just give your brother some face, okay?"

Seeing Xu Sinian speak politely, Li Xuewu didn't act wildly anymore and said to Xu Sinian: "I know you are a good person, a good cadre, the best cadre in the steel mill is you. Your brother will listen to you today. Even if you tell me to go home, I won't say a word of 'no' today. But after today, that's your brother's own business."

Seeing Li Xuewu give him face, Xu Sinian almost wanted to kowtow to Li Xuewu. The time delayed was enough, the factory director must be waiting there. He pulled Li Xuewu to get up, and exhorted him repeatedly: "Brother, you must hold back. If the leader says a few more words, let him say them, hold back."

Li Xuewu knew that the acting was enough. If it was too much, the actor playing the opponent couldn't keep up with his rhythm and emotions, and it would be easy to ruin the play.

Seeing Li Xuewu nod, Xu Sinian was finally relieved. This ancestor, he was really testing his heart.

He brought Li Xuewu to the door of the factory director's office, knocked on the half-open door, pushed it open, walked in, and reported: "Factory Director, Li Ke of the Security Section is here."

Factory Director Yang saw Xu Sinian's attitude and the voice coming from outside the door, and knew that the strategy he had set earlier had been ruined by the factory office, so he couldn't sing the rest of the play.

*Damn it*, it was agreed that the factory office secretary, factory office director, and Security Li Kezhang Fu Bin would sing the red face, and he would sing the white face at the end.

Now Xu Sinian was afraid of Li Xuewu, fearing that this fearless guy would go to Fu Bin and have a gun battle if he didn't agree, so he disrupted the previously agreed order and brought Li Xuewu to the factory director first.

Factory Director Yang was also cursing in his heart. Now it was good. The two who were supposed to sing the red face sang the white face, and they were still singing on their knees. Now how was he, who was supposed to appear last, supposed to sing?

Should he sing the red face?

Are you afraid of him going on a rampage, but am I not?

How to sing now?

All of them are white-faced "Cao Cao"?

"Cao Cao meeting?"

Then why did you call him here?

To comfort and praise him in person?

"Let Li Ke come in."

Factory Director Yang saw Xu Sinian glare at him, and just pretended not to see it. No matter what, he had to pass this hurdle first. He gestured to Li Xuewu outside the door. Seeing Li Xuewu still puffing his cheeks and unwilling to come in, he really had no other way, so he ran out and pulled Li Xuewu into Factory Director Yang's office.

Li Xuewu was pulled into the room by Xu Sinian. He didn't salute Factory Director Yang as usual, but stood there and glanced at the thin, tall man sitting on the sofa. He should be the Security Li Kezhang of Huaqing University, and then looked at Factory Director Yang sitting behind the desk.

Factory Director Yang saw Li Xuewu enter, and that look was like he was aiming. Thinking of the top leader who had his head opened by someone with a Type 54 in the office the year before last, he looked at the leather holster on Li Xuewu's waist, and only felt cold behind his head.

"Cough, cough, Li Ke, sit."

Xu Sinian cursed in his heart: *Damn, is this still what was agreed upon? Just now he glared at me, and when he came to you, you said 'sit'. Then what am I? *

Regardless of Xu Sinian's inner activities, seeing the factory director let him sit, this Li Xuewu didn't pay attention, and was about to go on a rampage with his neck stiff. Xu Sinian pressed Li Xuewu's shoulder and pushed him to sit opposite the factory director's desk.

Factory Director Yang saw Li Xuewu looking at the Security Li Kezhang over there with an incorrect expression, as if he was accumulating anger to release a big move, and hurriedly said: "Li Ke, this is our second official meeting. I still remember the way you walked into my office for the first time, upright, pure, and full of vigor."

Li Xuewu saw Factory Director Yang "reminiscing about the past" with him, so he turned his face to Factory Director Yang and said: "I also remember, it was you who said you believed in my character, let me persist in this character in my own position, and exert my own role."

Factory Director Yang nodded with a smile: "Yes, I have always believed in your character, but this time your approach really exceeded the scope of work. Hearing Li Kezhang Wu of Huaqing come to me and say that our Security Section was acting chaotically, I was also very pained, especially when Fu Bin reported to me, I was also very sorry for you."

Factory Director Yang said this and also said to Li Kezhang Wu of Huaqing: "This is our Security Li Ke Xuewu who joined work this year. He is a combat hero who transferred back from the south, has done a lot of work for our factory's security work, and has made outstanding contributions."

Hearing Factory Director Yang give him a lecture on merit first, then the follow-up must be asking for responsibility.

Sure enough, Factory Director Yang continued to say to the few people in the room: "It was also that I didn't use talent well, was anxious to open up the situation of the Security Section, and pulled up the seedlings to help them grow, letting talent make mistakes. This is a loss for the steel mill. After all, Li Ke Xuewu is only 19 years old, and his grasp of work and the overall situation is still not in place, which has caused such a bad influence. In the next step, our leadership team will also conduct a profound self-examination and discuss and study the work arrangement of the Security Section and Li Ke Xuewu."

These words were for Li Xuewu to hear, and also for Li Kezhang Wu of Huaqing to hear, after all, Li Kezhang Wu came here to want a result.

Li Xuewu knew what he was going to say before Factory Director Yang spoke. Now he focused his gaze on Li Kezhang Wu sitting on the sofa, wanting to see what this Security Li Kezhang of Huaqing had to say.

Wu Youqing, sitting on the sofa, raised his head and looked at Li Xuewu, who had a rebellious look. Thinking that since this person was a military officer from the south, it was normal to be arrogant.

But what kind of place was his unit? Was it a place where a small Security Li Kezhang could mess around? How was his work done? This was such a bad influence. Even if the investigation department wanted to investigate, they had to notify him. How could he tolerate a Security Li Kezhang of a factory going to a top-tier university in the country to act wildly?

Wu Youqing held his teacup and took a sip of tea, slowly saying: "Merit should be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished. This is our tradition, right? I think the young man is very bold and has courage, and the starting point is good, heh heh."

Speaking, he sneered twice, and continued to say to Factory Director Yang: "But what I want to say is that our place is an important unit after all, so we must pay attention to the influence. This kind of unorganized and undisciplined head cannot be opened."

Afraid that Wu Youqing would say something even uglier, Xu Sinian took the topic: "Yes, yes, yes, it is our mistake, we didn't control the case-handling scale well, we will conduct internal criticism and education, and rectify and study."

After apologizing to the proud Li Kezhang Wu, Xu Sinian gave Li Xuewu a look. Seeing Li Xuewu unmoved, he opened his mouth and said: "Cough, cough, Li Ke, you can also say something."

Xu Sinian's original intention was to persuade Li Xuewu to apologize to Li Kezhang Wu, and make a removal decision here, so this matter would pass. Whether it was good intentions or not, being able to do this as a factory office director could be considered qualified.

Li Xuewu looked at Xu Sinian, then at Factory Director Yang, leaned back in his chair, and said: "The words have all been said by you, what else can I say? Let's see the truth in the case."

Seeing Li Xuewu stubborn and really not intending to soften, Xu Sinian said with hatred for iron not becoming steel: "You~......"

Li Kezhang Wu of Huaqing looked at Factory Director Yang with a playful look, and said: "Good, I really want to see where you can investigate the case. After all, young ambition, I am still willing to see figures like Huo Qubing appear in the security department. I'm just afraid your factory director won't give you this opportunity."

Ps: Brothers~ I advise you young people not to be too arrogant, hand over your monthly votes and recommendation votes!

Hahahahahaha!
