Chapter 194: I've Already Thought About Where to Go to School

Facing the "checkmate" of Wu Youqing from Huaqing, Factory Director Yang frowned, softened his tone, and said to Li Xuewu: "Originally, it shouldn't be me talking to you, but your direct supervisor, Deputy Factory Director Li, talking to you. But I, in the spirit of cherishing young cadres, came to tell you about this matter..."

Before Factory Director Yang finished speaking, Li Xuewu waved his hand at Factory Director Yang and said: "Thank you for the leader's 'cherishing,' but I cannot afford it. As the saying goes: 'Knowing mistakes and being able to correct them is the greatest good.' But I didn't make a mistake, so why should I admit it? Want to use the big stick of 'cherishing' to force a confession? I'm sorry, the military merit medal on my chest doesn't allow me to bow my head."

Factory Director Yang was also a person who had the final say in this piece of heaven and earth of the steel mill. Having been the top leader for so many years, he also had his own authority. How could he tolerate Li Xuewu challenging his bottom line again and again, especially in front of outsiders?

"Still saying there's no mistake? Who arranged for students to monitor the professors of Huaqing? Who did you report to? Who allowed you to do this? Do you still have me, the factory director, in your eyes? Do you still have the steel mill? This is lack of organization, lack of discipline, lack of leadership, and chaotic playing~!"

Factory Director Yang's tone also became severe, not polite at all, sentence by sentence. In the end, he even said the criticism to the extreme, and even slammed the fountain pen in his hand onto the desk with a "slap."

Leaders don't say things like "Damn it, how the hell did you do it!" or "How the hell did you do it!" when criticizing people. It's too crude. Saying lack of organization and lack of discipline is already sentencing you to death, don't think about being promoted again. The other few sentences are the last four shots of the five shots of execution.

Seeing Factory Director Yang get angry, Xu Sinian's attitude changed very quickly. Why say he is an old fox? Instantly changed from a "good big brother" to a pawn of the leader.

Some words are not convenient for leaders to say, or they disdain to say them, so they need someone to understand the leader's intention and say it out, then that person is the leader's "confidant."

Seeing Factory Director Yang's encouraging and satisfied look, Xu Sinian became more and more energetic as he spoke. Although he had a slippery side, he really went up when there was something!

Some words are not convenient for leaders to say, or they disdain to say them, so they need someone to understand the leader's intention and say it out, then that person is the leader's "confidant."

Xu Sinian saw Factory Director Yang's encouraging and satisfied look, and became more and more energetic as he spoke. He pointed at Li Xuewu and said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean you didn't make a mistake, what do you mean forced confession? Are you really that impartial? And the security team, don't you have relatives? Don't you have neighbors?"

Xu Sinian said, and his right hand tapped the sofa armrest forcefully and pointed out: "Even the dogs in your relatives' village entered the factory as police dogs! What else do you want to say?"

Li Xuewu tilted his head and looked at Xu Sinian, pulled the chair back, and stood up abruptly.

Factory Director Yang still thought Li Xuewu was going to do something extreme. Looking at the leather holster on Li Xuewu's waist, he showed a nervous look. He also blamed Xu Sinian for being too radical, and he didn't hold back just now, being too excited.

"Speak well if you have something to say, Director Xu's words are a bit radical, not necessary."

Xu Sinian reacted very quickly, stood up and shouted: "Li Xuewu, what are you going to do? Don't..."

Li Xuewu didn't look at Xu Sinian, but said to Factory Director Yang: "Right and wrong are in people's hearts. Regarding my work, I can only say I have a clear conscience. How to handle it and what punishment to issue is your business. Whether I accept it or not is my business. But I reserve the right to pursue the content of today's conversation and those who have ulterior motives to achieve those unspeakable purposes."

Li Xuewu said this sentence calmly while pointing his finger at Factory Director Yang and the Security Li Kezhang of Huaqing. Finally, when he wanted to point at Xu Sinian, this guy had already changed his face and came to his side, following his hand out, not letting Li Xuewu's hand point at him at all.

Factory Director Yang's face was very ugly. Wu Youqing of Huaqing was quite open-minded. He smiled at Factory Director Yang and said: "Okay, I didn't come in vain today, I watched a good show. Let's not delay time, I have things to do on my side, I'll go back now."

Factory Director Yang stood up embarrassedly, shook hands with Wu Youqing, and said: "Ashamed, I will invite you and the two professors to dinner tonight to apologize in person."

Wu Youqing seemed very magnanimous, nodded, and said: "Normal, every unit has this kind of thorn. It's normal for you to encounter it. But I have to say one thing to you: be cautious when using people."

After speaking, he walked out, leaving Factory Director Yang, who had an ugly face, alone in the office. This sentence of Wu Youqing was like a big slap, making Factory Director Yang's face ache.

When Wu Youqing went out, he also looked at Xu Sinian, who was pulling Li Xuewu, and sneered at the two of them, walking downstairs from another staircase.

Xu Sinian was an old fox who had his tail removed. He was calling Li Xuewu brother in front, but "rebelled" as soon as he entered the office. When Li Xuewu released his ruthless words, he was afraid that Li Xuewu, this "resilient survivor," would really play a "dead ashes burning again," and he would suffer the consequences, so he caught Li Xuewu's hand in time when Li Xuewu "named names."

After leaving the factory director's office, Xu Sinian pulled Li Xuewu to the other end of the corridor, saying while walking: "Oh my, this temper of yours, I don't know what to say about you. You're not unaware of our factory director's character, he is particularly concerned about face. You've caused trouble this time, hurry up and talk to Li Kezhang Fu Bin to see if the situation can be saved."

Actually, seeing Fu Bin was a prepared step. Today, Fu Bin must talk to Li Xuewu, which was to set the tone for Li Xuewu's removal. But Xu Sinian was afraid of problems, so he temporarily changed the order of the conversation, and now he could only coax Li Xuewu to Fu Bin's room.

Arriving at Fu Bin's door, this old fox Xu Sinian was very slippery. He knocked on Fu Bin's door, entered the room first, and was ready to report the details of the factory director's office and then retreat.

He didn't expect Li Xuewu not to follow the routine. He didn't need Xu Sinian to invite him like Factory Director Yang's office, and followed behind Xu Sinian's butt into the room.

Xu Sinian was about to introduce the situation to Fu Bin, but saw Li Xuewu walk carelessly to the tea cabinet at the door, pick up a covered teacup, bent down and dug out a box of tea leaves from the tea cabinet to make a cup of tea for himself, and then walked to the sofa with the teacup and sat down.

This scene made Xu Sinian's eyelids jump. Seeing Li Xuewu's "impoliteness," Fu Bin had no reaction at all. He was reporting the situation to Fu Bin while drumming in his heart.

It was said that Li Xuewu was favored in the Security Section, and it was said that this was Dong Wenxue's favorite student. Now it seemed that it was not entirely so. This was clearly Fu Bin's favorite general. No wonder Fu Bin argued for Li Xuewu in front of Factory Director Yang, and no wonder this kid was so arrogant.

"Li Kezhang Fu, the situation is like this. The factory director's side is just saying so. How to handle the matter still depends on your opinion here. I have things to do on my side, so I'll go back first."

While speaking, he didn't even dare to look at Li Xuewu, for fear of being left here by the two, and even more afraid that the two would fight, and blood would splash on him. He left without even waiting for Fu Bin to be polite.

Li Xuewu held the teacup to his mouth and took a sip, then placed it gently on the tea table. At this time, Fu Bin took off his reading glasses, held them in his hand, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and walked over, sitting on the single sofa.

Li Xuewu saw Fu Bin put his glasses on the tea table, so he straightened his body and sat facing Fu Bin.

"What's wrong? Hit by a blow?" Fu Bin asked with a smile.

Li Xuewu didn't have the playfulness he had toward Xu Sinian, nor the uprightness he had toward Factory Director Yang. He said frankly to Fu Bin: "That's not it, I was just thinking about this case."

Fu Bin laughed "hahaha," pointed at Li Xuewu with his finger, and said: "I just like this character and quality of yours. What's rare is that you have a strong heart and a flexible brain."

Li Xuewu took out two cigarettes, handed one to Fu Bin, helped Fu Bin light it, lit one for himself, extinguished the match in the ashtray, watched the smoke drift away, and then said: "Leaders, that's just how it is. There's no need to tell them too much about things they don't need to know in business. Just tell them the result after things are done."

This was a double entendre.

Fu Bin looked at Li Xuewu with a smile, but his heart was secretly shocked. This person grew up too fast. To say that Dong Wenxue taught him well, Fu Bin believed it, because after working together for more than a year, he could see that Dong Wenxue was not a simple character. But to say that it was all taught by Dong Wenxue, Fu Bin would not believe it even if he died.

Fu Bin was a transferred cadre. He knew how difficult it was for transferred cadres to stand out in local units. Adapting to the local rhythm itself was a problem. After entering the organization, they would encounter difficulties in all aspects. It was rare to see someone like Li Xuewu who quickly adapted to the rhythm of the organization and could mix so well in a short time.

Although the opportunity was good and he had a good teacher, Li Xuewu's achievements were also solid. Not to mention other work measures, just talking about the Wang Jindong matter, Li Xuewu handled it beautifully. That Wang Jindong was also a character that gave leaders a headache, but he didn't survive a day in Li Xuewu's hands before being cut down.

Watching Li Xuewu face him calmly, Fu Bin was also moved. How many years had it been since he encountered such a good seedling? There was no shameless feeling that Xu Sinian said, and he couldn't see that Li Xuewu had just made a scene in the factory director's office, nor was he as hysterical as Xu Sinian said.

Seeing Li Xuewu looking at him, Fu Bin knew this old fox was evaluating him, which was normal.

"Do you have any thoughts on this case? You can talk about it," Fu Bin persuaded Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu didn't want to say anything more to Fu Bin, because now, besides Dong Wenxue, he couldn't trust anyone.

He could trust Dong Wenxue because he had an interest tie with Dong Wenxue. Him being good was a good thing for Dong Wenxue, and him being bad was a bad thing for Dong Wenxue. But for Fu Bin, his ups and downs had no impact on him.

Regarding what Xu Sinian said about Fu Bin pleading for him in the factory director's office, Li Xuewu held a skeptical attitude. These words that couldn't be put on paper were useless no matter how much they were said. They were all polite words, clichés, and fooling the silly kid.

"Li Kezhang, I am a sinner now. Aren't you afraid that I will cause trouble for you if I say it?"

Li Xuewu also had a relaxed expression toward Fu Bin, completely unable to see the look of impending disaster.

Fu Bin laughed "hahaha" again. The two of them didn't have the tense, life-or-death confrontation scene that Xu Sinian was worried about.

When experts fight, they play routines, details, and psychological warfare. The trick used in Factory Director Yang's office could only deal with that kind of high-and-mighty porcelain, who couldn't bear to collide with his own earthenware pot.

In front of Fu Bin, there was no need to play that set, lest it become a laughingstock. And don't say, playing that set might not necessarily be able to beat this old man.

"I'm almost retired. If it weren't for your matter this time, the factory director might not have been able to remember me."

Li Xuewu looked at Fu Bin's relaxed appearance, smiled, and narrowed his eyes. He wouldn't believe a word of Fu Bin's words. He had seen too many in his previous life.

One by one, they all said they were going to retire and give the opportunity to young people. Some second-rate guys were not polite to these old men, competing and giving speeches, and then they were taught how to be human by these old men who were prepared to retire.

The more they said they wanted to delegate power, the more they said they wanted to retire and give up opportunities, the more they were greedy for power. If they really wanted to retire, what was there to say? They could ask for sick leave and not come now. In such a big organization, could it not turn without one or two people?

"You're just fooling me. With your great achievements, it's possible that someone like me, a nobody, doesn't know, but to say the factory director or those section chiefs don't know or remember, that's purely you fooling me."

Fu Bin was very happy today, unable to see the look of being scolded at the factory director's place. Li Xuewu also knew what Fu Bin was going to say. This matter wasn't something Fu Bin could decide, at most he was just beating the drums.

He still had to mix under this old man in the future, so there was no need to offend everyone, so Li Xuewu set up a relaxed conversation atmosphere for the two.

Fu Bin also saw Li Xuewu's thoughts, so he didn't play that set of first-praising-then-suppressing with Li Xuewu, and said very straightforwardly: "I don't know how you prepared for this matter, but judging from the current temporary situation, it's not too optimistic. Don't listen to what Director Xu just said about letting me give an opinion. Actually, the opinion was passed over the phone as soon as you left the factory director's office."

Li Xuewu nodded: "I understand, I accept it all."

Fu Bin nodded: "Of course, unlike me, you are still young and have plenty of opportunities. This failure doesn't mean you will always be a failure. Continue to work hard in the new position, and there is still a lot to be done."

Seeing that Li Xuewu didn't want to talk about this case, Fu Bin didn't ask again, and conducted a relatively warm conversation completely according to the official procedure.

Actually, for Li Xuewu, it was the same no matter how it was handled. Why was Li Xuewu very agitated and unconvinced in the factory director's office, but easily accepted this result in Fu Bin's room?

Because just as Li Xuewu said at the beginning, there was no need to tell the leader about some business matters. You said it, but it was useless. The leader might not understand, and even if he understood, he would pretend not to understand.

But as long as you said it, he would have a procedure of knowing, and then he would give you an instruction. Most of the time, this instruction was a shackle, useless, without any benefit, and would only drag you back, so there was no need to tell the leader too much.

Actually, there was no need to pay too much attention to the top leader. They wouldn't care about small shrimp. Whether you did well or not, there were too many people, and they couldn't remember. And by the time you rose up, they would have retired, so Li Xuewu didn't care about his face.

But you have to treat the direct supervisor cautiously. The power in his hands directly concerns your professional life.

Furthermore, success is success, and failure is failure. But where is there such a clear dividing line in the organization? It's hard to say whether a thing is successful or failed. So, just like Factory Director Yang arranged, he was prepared to sing the white face, which was not wanting to offend young people like Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu said very little, didn't say how to do it after breaking the case, didn't say how many achievements he had, and didn't say whose fault it was here, because these couldn't be conditions to save the leader's decision. Now he just needed to do the current things well.

Seeing that Fu Bin had no other instructions, Li Xuewu saluted Fu Bin and went out the door.

Just as he walked out of the main building, he saw Huang Ping driving a jeep and stopping in front of the building door.

This is really a narrow road for enemies!

"Yo~~ Isn't this Li Ke?"

Huang Ping had a strong desire for revenge. After seeing Li Xuewu, even his address carried that feeling of revenge, deliberately using heavy emphasis on the two words "Li Kezhang," sounding strange and weird.

Li Xuewu was also really damaging. He smiled and nodded at Huang Ping and said: "Heh, isn't this Station Chief Huang?"

Learning from Huang Ping, Li Xuewu put the heavy emphasis on the word "Huang," so it sounded a bit imaginative.

Huang Ping didn't care about Li Xuewu's teasing. A dog that has lost its home, a defeated general, that's all. The "smiling tiger" and "little Fu Bin" spread in the factory hadn't persisted for two days in his pass.

"Li Ke, oh, right, soon it won't be Li Ke. Oh my, are we going to call Li Xuewu? Old Li? Little Li? We were brothers once, how can I bear to see you fall into trouble?"

Huang Ping was talking as he jumped off the jeep and reached out to drape his arm over Li Xuewu's shoulder. However, Li Xuewu was tall while Huang Ping was short, so he had to stand on his tiptoes to reach the shoulder, which was quite a struggle and ended up looking rather comical. He put his raised arm down, feeling a bit sheepish, but after looking at Li Xuewu, he regained his confidence.

"Go to my place, I'm still missing a waiter to serve tea and pour water. Don't say your brother doesn't take care of you. My place is a good place, wind can't blow, rain can't drench. As long as you open your mouth, I'll go find the Personnel Section to transfer your post."

Looking at Huang Ping jumping high to find a place for himself, he didn't know if Huang Ping was really that righteous.

"Our section chief appreciates your good intentions, you should leave that post for your sisters. Our section chief is afraid of dirtying his eyes if he goes."

Just when Huang Ping was speaking happily in front of Li Xuewu, a familiar voice came from behind. Huang Ping hadn't turned around yet, and he began to show a smiling face. After turning around, the smile was even more enthusiastic.

"Oh my, Sister Han, why do you have time to find me? Is there anything you need help with? If you have something, just say it. Although I dare not say I can walk horizontally in the steel mill, I still have this bit of strength."

Han Yating rolled her eyes at Huang Ping, saw Li Xuewu smiling and passing by Huang Ping to go to the auxiliary building, glared at Huang Ping, and said: "Who are you calling sister? Stay wherever it's cool. Look at your damaged color, like a potato essence." After speaking, she chased after Li Xuewu.

Huang Ping stood in place, looking at the goddess in his heart chasing his "enemy," feeling awkward no matter how he looked at it. He spat on the ground and said fiercely: "Sooner or later, I'll get you."

Li Xuewu didn't walk fast, and Han Yating soon caught up with Li Xuewu.

"Li Kezhang, why did that big yellow dog shout at you? And why did I hear that you are going to......"

Li Xuewu glanced at Han Yating. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, he said: "I don't know the reason, but the matter you arranged at Huaqing University was known by the Security Li Kezhang of Huaqing. This morning, he blocked our factory director's office door. Isn't this it? The factory is prepared to remove me from my post to give Huaqing University an explanation."

Han Yating was stunned after hearing this, and said anxiously with tears in her voice: "How can it be like this? We are...... No, I'll go find Li Kezhang Fu to reason."

Li Xuewu grabbed Han Yating, who was about to run, and said: "I just came out of Li Kezhang Fu's office, don't go, it's already a decided matter."

Han Yating had already wiped her tears and cried: "Then it can't just be like this. Besides, our case is all......"

Li Xuewu let go of Han Yating's fingers, pointed to the auxiliary building, took Han Yating into the building, and stood at the stairwell and said: "Since it's already a decided matter, it's useless even if you say more. As a leading cadre, you must control your emotions and your temper. You cannot be willful, let alone act recklessly."

If these words were said in the auxiliary building, it would be fine. If they were heard by Xu Sinian and Factory Director Yang in the main building, they would definitely be angered into high blood pressure.

Han Yating had already packed up her tears and asked Li Xuewu: "Li Kezhang, it's all my fault. It was my work error that led to this matter. You just say it was my own claim to do it, it has nothing to do with you, I'll take the responsibility for this time."

Li Xuewu smiled and pointed at Han Yating: "This has nothing to do with who arranged it, this is a matter of level. You are not qualified to take this punishment."

Li Xuewu made a small joke with Han Yating, and then softened his tone and said: "You are also a cadre now. You must learn to endure in everything you do. Every time you encounter a big event, you must have a quiet spirit. This is what you need to learn next. This concerns how far you can go."

Han Yating looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "We are a powerful department, where do we need to endure?"

Li Xuewu shook his head, took Han Yating upstairs to the office, and said while climbing the stairs: "The work we do now, or the unit we are in, to put it bluntly, this is a workplace. In this workplace, there is a set of ecological environment that belongs to it. If you don't adapt to this environment, you will be eliminated by the environment."

"In this ecological environment, you have to understand a survival rule, very simple, that is, endure what others cannot endure, and do what others cannot do. Endurance is a line, ability is a line, and the distance between the two is the opportunity for survival."

Han Yating was confused, but felt that the words her section chief said were very philosophical. Obviously younger than herself, yet understood many things others didn't understand, as if he was like a fish in water in this "workplace" that the section chief called.

Han Yating followed Li Xuewu like a "little fan girl" and wanted to ask clearly, but they had already arrived at Li Xuewu's office. Seeing the section chief open the door, she just wanted to go in with Li Xuewu, but saw Deputy Li Kezhang Dong sitting in the room. She greeted him embarrassedly, and turned back to the Security Section.

Li Xuewu sent Han Yating away, closed the door, and then looked at Dong Wenxue in the room.

"Teacher, why did you come to my place?"

Dong Wenxue sat in Li Xuewu's position, looking at Li Xuewu with a smile and asked: "Come to interview you, what's your mood?"

Seeing his teacher teasing him, Li Xuewu also replied very easily: "Oh my, my heart is cold and cold."

Dong Wenxue looked at Li Xuewu acting weird, and also laughed "hahahaha." Still okay, at least his mentality hadn't collapsed.

Li Xuewu picked up the tea leaves and teacup from the tea cabinet at his door, made a cup of tea for Dong Wenxue, made one for himself, held it, and sat opposite Dong Wenxue.

"Teacher is not kind. I am a person who is about to be removed, and you can still laugh."

Dong Wenxue took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, and smiled at Li Xuewu: "You are very good at writing instant reports, so just treat it as news and tell me."

Li Xuewu pushed the teacup inward. Since his teacher's mentality was still good, he began to tell Dong Wenxue about what happened just now, including the details of the emotional changes of several people.

Dong Wenxue listened while drinking tea, nodding from time to time. Seeing Li Xuewu finish speaking, he pondered for a while, and then said: "Tell me what you think."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "I was just about to ask for your advice, Teacher, and you delivered it to my door."

Dong Wenxue saw Li Xuewu like this, and knew that this student had a plan in his heart, and didn't need his own guidance.

At first, he was worried that the student's mentality was unstable, so he specially came to Li Xuewu's office to wait for him. He didn't expect that his student was young, encountered setbacks, and was discouraged, but now he still had the heart to joke with himself.

"Tell me what you think," Dong Wenxue waved his hand at Li Xuewu and continued to hold the teacup and sip tea.

Li Xuewu saw that his teacher had the intention of examining and guiding, so he started from the beginning.

"That factory office secretary is a stone, thrown into the river by others, that stone to ask the way. I didn't mean to indulge him, which means that this road of mine is not very easy to walk."

Dong Wenxue looked at Li Xuewu and signaled Li Xuewu to continue.

"Xu Sinian should be a megaphone. He doesn't dare to have his own thoughts. He is completely designed by Factory Director Yang. Whatever he tells him to do, he does, so I didn't make things difficult for him, it's not worth it."

Li Xuewu meant that he didn't go on a rampage at Xu Sinian's office, because this person wasn't the main character, and it was useless to say more.

Dong Wenxue looked at Li Xuewu and said: "Xu Sinian has been the factory office director since 1957, and has served three leaders."

Li Xuewu nodded: "I didn't underestimate him, I knew he was also a character, so this time it was a chaotic blow, not aiming at him."

Seeing Dong Wenxue nod, Li Xuewu continued: "I didn't pay too much attention to Factory Director Yang's side. At most, it was for the sake of face. There was a brother-in-law in it, but it wouldn't be to the point of doing anything to me. As long as the case is handled, there won't be any opinion on that side. After all, my level is low, and I really can't reach that high position."

Dong Wenxue looked at his student analyzing this matter with a smile. The organization is like this. The person who is not good to you is not necessarily your enemy. This needs to be discussed on a case-by-case basis, looking at the essence of the problem through the appearance.

Now Factory Director Yang seems to have formed a feud with Li Xuewu because of his brother-in-law. Actually, doesn't Factory Director Yang know what kind of goods his brother-in-law is? Would he offend a section-level cadre for his sake?

This is also why Li Xuewu didn't clean up Huang Ping at the door. That is a clown. Beating him is hitting Factory Director Yang's face. But if you want to play politics to clean him up, Factory Director Yang won't care. This is the game rule. Even the top leader must abide by it.

Li Xuewu finished the last puff of smoke, stubbed it out in the ashtray, and frowned: "I just think Li Kezhang Fu is not right. This old man is playing with me."

Dong Wenxue smiled and extinguished the cigarette butt in that iron ashtray. It was really solid, looking like he wanted to pick it up and smash someone's head.

"What do you think?"

Seeing that his teacher only had this sentence, it was obvious that the previous question had passed. Li Xuewu frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't think of any reason.

"We didn't offend him, and our age difference is so big, and there is no conflict of interest."

It was really impossible to think about what kind of grudge he had with Fu Bin, which led Fu Bin to discuss his punishment result in Factory Director Yang's office, and today's three-level inquiry was completely fooling him.

Secondly, Fu Bin had the most say in his handling result, but this result came out, which meant Fu Bin didn't play an active role in the confrontation between Factory Director Yang and Wu Youqing.

This shouldn't be the reason why that case wasn't reported to him, because these things were business-related. Not touching them was a good thing. Fu Bin wouldn't rush to take the blame.

The last one was the key figure, Deputy Factory Director Li, Li Huai De. Today should have been Li Huai De finding him for the final talk, but in the handling of this matter, Li Huai De had been invisible, and didn't see any opinion from Li Huai De on his handling result, completely like being invisible.

The problem here must be with Fu Bin. I don't know what this old fox is playing.

Dong Wenxue nodded to Li Xuewu and said: "Being able to analyze so much is already very rare. The last question will be today's homework, you have to figure it out yourself."

Seeing Li Xuewu nod with a frown, Dong Wenxue smiled and stood up and said: "What about the case? If it really doesn't work, just put it aside. Just like what Fu Bin said, you are still young, and there are plenty of opportunities. This failure doesn't mean you will always be a failure. Continue to work hard in the new position, and there is still a lot to be done."

Li Xuewu heard Dong Wenxue's words and knew that his teacher was doing it for his own good. Sometimes retreating to advance is not a way to ease workplace pressure. The workplace is also like a spring, you can't always move forward. Sometimes retreating is to move forward better, faster, and more forcefully.

But he knew his own situation, and he was full of confidence in the case he handled. If he could step over this hurdle, his front would be a smooth road.

"Put it aside? *Heh*, didn't Xu Sinian say it would be discussed on Monday? Then I am still the Security Li Kezhang now, and I still have three days. I want to challenge it."

Dong Wenxue looked at his somewhat radical student and said sternly: "Don't be reckless. Endure for a moment, the wind is calm and the waves are calm; take a step back, the sea and the sky are vast."

Li Xuewu stood up and smiled at his teacher: "Why did I hear this sentence differently? Isn't it 'endure for a moment, the more you think about it, the more you lose; take a step back, the more you think about it, the more you get angry'?"

Dong Wenxue was also laughed at by Li Xuewu, shook his head and asked: "What do you want to do?"

Li Xuewu walked to Dong Wenxue's side and whispered: "I don't believe that the Huaqing University side came to block Factory Director Yang's door without the credit of this group of rats."

"He's playing dead, isn't he? He's not coming out of the hole, isn't he? He's not eating the bait, isn't he? Then I'll send the bait to his mouth. If he doesn't eat it, he has to eat it hard. Even if it wasn't stolen by him, I'll make it look like it was stolen by him."

Dong Wenxue frowned and said: "Don't mess around, that would be even more complicated."

Li Xuewu gave Dong Wenxue a look of "don't worry," and smiled evilly: "His office desk is often locked, and I don't know what good things are hidden secretly. This time I will send some good things in for him."

Dong Wenxue raised his eyebrows and asked: "It's useless after he gets off work, do you still have this ability?"

Li Xuewu smiled and replied: "A small trick, that's all. After I put the documents in, I will take people to chase him. I want to see if he can still be as arrogant as he is now."

Dong Wenxue thought for a while with a frown and said: "Then follow this plan for now."

Li Xuewu sent Dong Wenxue away and began to do his own work. He didn't care too much about the morning's affairs. How to do the work, he still did it. If you hear the cicadas chirping, don't you farm?

No matter what difficulties he encountered, he couldn't mess up his own position first. If he really couldn't stabilize his position, then he would mess up the other party's position. If you want to dance, dance together, don't just dance awkwardly by yourself.

He didn't sleep well last night, so he was a bit sleepy during the day. The boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge, if it doesn't straighten, it has to straighten. He didn't finish work in the morning, so Li Xuewu went to the dormitory to sleep, and slept until after 4 o'clock in the afternoon before waking up.

Waking up from this sleep, Li Xuewu's stomach was growling with hunger. It was also true, from morning until now, he only ate one breakfast. Forget it, endure it and eat at night.

Rubbing his eyes, he thought, no, endure what? We have power in the cafeteria! After washing his face, he went to the cafeteria to find Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu wasn't busy. Seeing Li Xuewu hadn't eaten, he made a stir-fried vegetable dish and served it to Li Xuewu, and he also ate another meal.

"What's wrong? Why this face? Lost money or lost face?" Li Xuewu asked, seeing Sha Zhu biting the steamed bun with a look of indignation.

Sha Zhu put his steamed bun on the lunch box lid and complained to Li Xuewu: "Heh, don't mention it, lost money and lost face. I let Qin Huairu laugh at me for nothing, and I've been upset all afternoon."

Seeing Sha Zhu's bitter look, Li Xuewu found it funny. This person lived very simply, wanting to be angry when angry, wanting to scold when scolding, living freely, which could be called "great wisdom looks like stupidity."

Sha Zhu originally thought that he had already said the beginning, so Li Xuewu had to ask, but he didn't expect that he said "don't mention it," and Li Xuewu really didn't mention it, and even ate the stir-fried dish and gnawed on the steamed bun. This was too solid.

No way, without a supporting actor, the monologue had to be said.

"Do you remember the time I bumped into you at the door of the second gate talking about finding a wife?"

Li Xuewu ate a bite of vegetables and swallowed the steamed bun: "Remember, it's only been a few days, and I'm not lacking a string. Didn't you say it when you came out of Third Grandpa's house?"

Sha Zhu didn't correct whether it was coming out of Third Grandpa's house, but said hatefully: "It's this Third Grandpa, he's not a human being. Do you know who I was looking for when I told you about finding a wife at that time?"

Li Xuewu didn't have the heart to chat with Sha Zhu about emotional topics, and he wasn't a sympathetic big sister, just to mix a full meal. He gnawed on the steamed bun and shook his head perfunctorily.

Seeing Li Xuewu didn't know, Sha Zhu smiled and said: "You might not know, it's Banggeng's homeroom teacher, Teacher Ran. It's normal if you don't know her. You were a soldier when she came to our courtyard for a home visit."

Li Xuewu's brain, which was thinking about things, finally remembered who Sha Zhu was talking about. He raised his eyebrows and asked: "Know~ the crooked-mouthed female teacher, pretty?"

As soon as Sha Zhu heard this, he became spirited. He gestured to Li Xuewu and said: "What crooked mouth, Banggeng, that kid's nickname, don't listen to the child's nonsense. Let me tell you, pretty, quite pretty. But pretty is one aspect, she is a teacher, has that temperament, do you understand temperament?"

Seeing Sha Zhu gesturing up and down on his body while talking about temperament, and even asking himself if he understood temperament, Li Xuewu couldn't help but nod.

Actually, Sha Zhu had already entered the state now, and didn't look at Li Xuewu's expression and response at all, but continued to say: "Her parents are both returned students, and she has also received higher education. That is a scholarly family, a lady of a scholarly family, that temperament, that figure, *heh*, I can't tell you more."

Seeing Sha Zhu immersed in his own fantasy, Li Xuewu teased him: "Didn't Qin Huairu introduce her cousin to you? What's wrong, don't want her anymore? Or want to step on two boats?"

Hearing Qin Huairu's name, Sha Zhu was instantly awakened. Remembering that he was bragging to Qin Huairu this morning and was slapped in the face and watched as a joke in the afternoon, he looked at Li Xuewu resentfully and said: "What two boats, that boat didn't even dock at all, I didn't even see her face. Besides, that's a country girl, Teacher Ran has a formal job!"

"We are both
