Chapter 355: I Like It a Bit Spicy

If one were to talk about pulling connections, this wasn't how it was done.

They hadn't met even once, yet he dared to come to the door and beg for a matchmaker; this was truly a strange story.

But the current situation was very special, and Zhang Shuting also knew that Li Xuewu was building a ladder for Yu Huaiyou.

By pulling the matter toward a marriage, the relationship would be closer, and the taboos would disappear.

"This matter is a good thing. Yu Huaiyou will act as your guarantor. As for your Uncle Li, I won't speak for him for now, but I can agree to act as a guarantor for Gu Ning on my side. I watched that child grow up."

"Hey, thank you, Aunt Zhang."

Li Xuewu knew that this matter was connected, and he was also very fortunate that this person was so easy to talk to.

"Your Uncle Li is still at the unit. You live right opposite, don't you? Come here for dinner tonight, and I'll tell your Uncle Li."

"Got it."

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "I won't put on an act with you; I will definitely come."

As he spoke, he pointed to the courtyard outside the door and said, "That, Auntie, Li Ming needs to go with me to explain the situation."

"As he should."

Zhang Shuting nodded and said, "He's so naughty he's reached the sky. You all criticize him well, scare him a bit, and let him learn a lesson."

Li Xuewu smiled and promised, "You are still the reasonable one. Our leader is still worried about this side, so I'll take Li Ming back first, and I'll send him back tonight."

"Go ahead, I'll call your Uncle Li now and have him pick you up tonight."

Seeing Zhang Shuting say she would come for dinner tonight, that meant asking Li Xuewu if this matter was big.

And Li Xuewu had seen Yu Huaiyou's attitude earlier, so he guessed the matter might not be very serious, so he smiled and said he would send Li Ming back tonight.

Why say tonight instead of sending him back after investigating clearly?

It meant leaving a conversational opening for Zhang Shuting, and Zhang Shuting also understood Li Xuewu's meaning, nodding and saying she would have Director Li pick them both up.

Director Li had saved Mr. Z back then and was still Mr. Z's capable assistant; this matter still had to be handled by Director Li.

Seeing that the matter was handled smoothly, Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Good, Aunt Zhang, then I'll go first."

As he spoke, he had already opened the door and walked out.

Zhang Shuting followed him out and said severely to Li Ming, who was standing in the courtyard, "I'll deal with you when you get back."

After scaring him, she instructed, "This is the brother-in-law of your Uncle Gu's house. Call him."

Wang Xueren didn't know what was going on; how did Li Xuewu climb up to be a relative after talking in the room for a while?

But he didn't dare ask about the relatives of this family. But which family was this Gu family?

Li Ming was very obedient; since his mother told him to call him brother-in-law, he called him that.

"Brother-in-law!"

"Hmm."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I'll take you to sit opposite for a while, and we'll come back tonight."

Li Ming didn't know the situation, but he knew he had made a mistake. At this moment, he could only look at his mother for help.

Zhang Shuting didn't scare her son anymore, but patted Li Ming's arm and said, "Follow your brother-in-law. Do whatever he tells you to do. Did you hear me?"

"I know, Mom."

Li Ming also knew to be afraid at this moment. He looked at Li Xuewu and followed him out.

Li Xuewu turned back to the few people who had sent them out and said, "Aunt Zhang, you go back. It's only a few steps away."

Zhang Shuting looked at the group of personnel standing outside the door, and knowing that the situation Li Xuewu just mentioned wasn't false, she maintained her expression, nodded, and signaled the gatekeeper to close the door.

Li Ming, who came out with Li Xuewu, was also scared; how did so many people come to arrest him?

Wang Xueren was already waiting by the car at the door.

"The leader has returned and said he's waiting for you at the unit."

"Hmm."

Li Xuewu nodded, signaled Li Ming to get in the car, and he also got into the back seat.

The car didn't drive for more than a few minutes before it crossed the street and entered the side road of the auditorium.

After returning to the hotel and getting out of the car, Wang Xueren took Li Xuewu and led Li Ming to Yu Huaiyou's temporary office.

"Leader, we are back."

"Good."

There were a few people sitting in Yu Huaiyou's office. Li Xuewu patted Li Ming's shoulder, led him into the room, and had him sit on a sofa with him.

Wang Xueren had arranged for people to come back first, clearly having reported the situation there to Yu Huaiyou.

This could be seen from the few questions Yu Huaiyou asked Li Ming.

Seeing that there was only one person asking him questions in the room, and the attitude was neither warm nor cold, Li Ming boldly told the story he had told at home again.

Although Yu Huaiyou had long known the reason Li Ming fired the gun, looking at this teenager sitting there talking about this matter, he still couldn't help but grin.

After Li Ming finished speaking, Yu Huaiyou nodded, signaled to Li Xuewu, and walked out.

And the people in the room also glanced over here and followed Yu Huaiyou out.

After everyone in the room had left, Li Xuewu stood up and closed the door, then asked Li Ming, who was sitting uneasily on the sofa, "Are you thirsty?"

"Not thirsty."

"Really?"

"That... that... a little."

"Hehehe."

Li Xuewu smiled and looked at this reckless teenager, picked up a thermos from the tea cabinet, opened a white porcelain tea mug, and poured a cup of hot water.

"You have to sit here for a while, drink a cup of hot water."

Li Xuewu placed the teacup in front of Li Ming, then picked up a cup himself and sat on the sofa.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Li Ming looked at Li Xuewu sitting next to him and saw that this "brother-in-law" was already snoring.

"Heh~ Hu... Heh~ Hu... Heh~ Hu..."

Li Ming's mouth twitched. Watching the sound of this person getting louder and louder, he wasn't even afraid that he would run away.

Li Xuewu didn't care about this child's thoughts. Not to mention Li Ming, it would be unlikely for Li Xuewu to walk out of this room.

Just as Li Ming was waiting boredly, the door was suddenly pushed open.

And Li Ming discovered that the person who was snoring on the sofa just now had already opened his eyes and was sitting there.

"Almost forgot you haven't eaten yet."

It turned out to be the head teacher, Liu Zheng. Li Xuewu hurriedly stood up, turned on the light, brought the boxed meal over, and placed it on the coffee table.

"Have the students all eaten?"

"Eaten."

Liu Zheng glanced at Li Ming, then said to Li Xuewu, "Everyone is resting here tonight. Tomorrow is the graduation exam, then come back here to rest. There's a dinner party tonight, and the day after tomorrow is the graduation ceremony. You can return to your original units."

"Good."

Li Xuewu nodded, indicating he understood.

And Liu Zheng patted Li Xuewu's shoulder and said, "Eat, I'll go back first."

After sending Liu Zheng out the door, Li Xuewu indeed saw people standing at the entrance.

Walking back to the sofa, he opened the lunch box and looked; there was actually braised pork.

It seems the treatment for meritorious service is good.

Just as he picked up his chopsticks and prepared to eat, he saw Li Ming sitting to one side looking at him.

"Want some?"

Seeing Li Xuewu ask him, Li Ming hurriedly moved his gaze away from the lunch box.

Then he shook his head again.

"Hehehe."

Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "Thick skin, eat enough; thin skin, eat nothing. If you're putting on an act, I'll eat it all."

Li Ming looked at Li Xuewu, licked his lips, and said, "That, do you have enough?"

Although he had eaten at noon, this was the time when a half-grown boy could eat his father out of house and home.

How to put it, at this age, no matter how much he ate, he felt hungry; he had an appetite.

Li Xuewu placed the lid of the lunch box on the table, divided half of the rice in the box onto the lid, and gave half of the meat to him.

"Divide half when we meet, eat."

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

As he spoke, he took the spoon Li Xuewu handed over and started eating.

Li Xuewu chuckled at this much more sincere form of address and also started eating.

"Drink some water."

Li Xuewu ate a few mouthfuls and said to Li Ming, who was eating with his head down.

Li Ming looked at his own cup, then looked at Li Xuewu's cup, stood up, walked to the tea cabinet, picked up the thermos, walked back, poured hot water for Li Xuewu, and filled his own cup.

Turning around to put down the thermos, he walked back and started eating with Li Xuewu.

The two were just eating when the door was opened again, but a middle-aged man with a broad face entered.

Seeing this person, his posture was upright, standing there with a heroic spirit, possessing a natural bearing.

"Dad."

Li Ming was eating the meal happily with the lunch box in his hands. Seeing his father enter, he was stunned.

Hearing this form of address, Li Xuewu also put down the lunch box that still had a little rice left, wiped his mouth with the paper on the table, stood up, and walked to one side to stand.

Li Deshan looked at his son, who had oil all over his mouth and rice grains hanging on his face, and his serious face also showed some astonishment.

After seeing Li Xuewu stand up, especially Li Xuewu's face, he knew this was the young man his wife mentioned.

Yu Huaiyou, who came in together, said to Li Xuewu, "Did we disturb your meal?"

"No."

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "My teacher saw that I didn't eat at noon, so he sent me a box. It just so happened that this child was hungry, so we ate together."

At this moment, Li Ming heard Li Xuewu's words and also put down the lunch box, about to stand up.

"Finish your meal."

Li Deshan waved his hand at Li Xuewu and the other, and then, at Yu Huaiyou's signal, the two walked over to the sofa.

Li Ming looked at his lunch box, then looked at Li Xuewu, not knowing what to do.

Wang Xueren, who came in together, walked to the tea cabinet, preparing to make tea.

"Really a bit hungry."

Li Xuewu signaled to Li Ming, walked back to the sofa, picked up his lunch box, and ate the rice in a few mouthfuls.

Li Ming also looked at his father and ate the rice on the lunch box lid.

Li Xuewu took the lunch box lid, patted Li Ming's shoulder, signaling him to sit down, picked off the rice grains on his face, and smiled, "I'll go wash the lunch box."

As he spoke, he was about to walk out; Li Xuewu didn't want to make a spectacle of himself here.

Li Deshan looked at his nervous son and turned to Li Xuewu, "Clean up. Your Aunt Zhang said to have you come home for dinner tonight. We'll wait for you here."

"Hey!"

Li Xuewu turned back and smiled in agreement, then went out the door.

He washed the lunch box and looked out the window. It was already dark; the lights here were quite beautiful.

After returning to the dormitory, he saw Huang Gan writing a thesis at the desk.

"Done?"

Seeing Li Xuewu enter the room, Huang Gan looked up and continued writing.

"Hmm, currently receiving education."

Li Xuewu put the lunch box away, walked to Huang Gan's side, and looked; it looked like it was almost done.

"The teacher said it has to be handed in tomorrow morning, but we've been running around these days, where would we have time to write it!"

Huang Gan complained while writing, his mouth even sighing: "This is forcing a living person to hang themselves!"

After finishing his complaints, he turned and looked at Li Xuewu, who was leaning on the bed smoking, and asked, "Is yours finished?"

"Hehehe."

Li Xuewu smiled and didn't answer.

"Damn, I shouldn't have asked!"

Huang Gan threw his fountain pen angrily and said indignantly, "We ran around tired for two days, but you were able to finish your homework while sleeping."

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "I also wanted to work with everyone, but the head teacher didn't allow it."

"Don't even mention it!"

Huang Gan turned and looked at Li Xuewu, saying, "We were tired for two days and didn't find a single hair, just paving the way for you to show your face."

"Don't feel bad saying that!"

Li Xuewu pointed with the finger holding the cigarette and laughed, "Do you remember who I took the blame for?"

"You!"

Huang Gan was also speechless; wasn't this just "getting the benefit and still acting like a brat"?

"Fine, fine, fine, consider me thanking you!"

Li Xuewu's extended hand instantly changed into two fingers, saying, "You owe me two meals!"

"You're ruthless!"

After finishing his harsh words with Li Xuewu, the two talked about this case again.

Huang Gan laughed speechlessly, "Even novels wouldn't dare write this. Novels still have logic, right? But this reality is completely unreasonable."

Li Xuewu looked at the time on his watch, stood up, and smiled, "It's just this absurd and bizarre, right?"

Seeing Li Xuewu change his clothes and prepare to go out, Huang Gan asked, "It's dark, and it's almost time to eat. Where are you going?"

Li Xuewu changed his clothes, took the last puff of the cigarette in his mouth, and pressed it out in the ashtray on the bedside table.

"Someone invited me to dinner, going out for a bit."

Huang Gan guessed who invited Li Xuewu to dinner, curled his lips enviously, and said jealously, "We helped too!"

"Hmm hmm hmm."

Li Xuewu nodded and smiled, "I will definitely pass on the message, just say Young Master Huang said he also wants a favor."

"Be a human!"

Huang Gan threw the paper ball on the table at Li Xuewu, who was leaving the room.

When he returned to the office door, he saw the door was open, and Li Ming was standing by the sofa looking this way.

Seeing Li Xuewu come up, his eyes clearly lit up.

Only the two of them were left in the room; Yu Huaiyou and Wang Xueren had already left after talking.

After reporting this case to Mr. Z, a handling decision had already been reached.

It was about the same as Li Xuewu guessed. From Li Ming's complexion at this moment, one could tell what kind of raging storm he had just faced.

This probably wasn't the end of it; he might get a "bamboo strip stir-fried meat" when he got home.

Looking at Director Li's appearance, he didn't look like someone who could hit a child, but Aunt Zhang looked like she dared to take action.

"Back? Good, let's go home."

Director Li followed his son's gaze to Li Xuewu, then stood up and walked out with Li Ming.

When the three went out, they didn't see a car. Li Xuewu knew they were going to walk back.

It wasn't far, a straight-line distance of 400 meters; walking wouldn't take much longer.

Li Xuewu was completely helping Yu Huaiyou patch the hole now; otherwise, he would have just refused this dinner.

This dinner was very ordinary. Aunt Zhang didn't prepare any extravagant dishes; she just cooked four home-style dishes herself.

Li Xuewu was also very open. At the table, he talked about his own situation and mentioned some things between him and Gu Ning.

At the table, Aunt Zhang also took the initiative to say she would be a matchmaker for Li Xuewu, but didn't mention Director Li being a matchmaker.

Li Xuewu was very satisfied. There was a reason for doing it this way; it couldn't be said much here.

After dinner, Li Xuewu said goodbye to the Li family and returned to the dormitory.

The graduation exam wasn't difficult; theory in the morning, skills in the afternoon.

The content of each subject wasn't much, and there was no break in between; the papers were handed directly to them.

Cheating or using crib sheets wasn't allowed in this kind of exam. If caught, it would involve one's political life, which was much more serious than cheating on the college entrance exam.

Besides, this kind of paper had many subjective questions; how could one cheat?

Li Xuewu looked at the paper and worked busily, from 7:30 in the morning until 12:00 noon.

"Ya~"

Huang Gan walked out of the exam room with Li Xuewu, stretched, and looked at the building outside the window as if it were a lifetime ago.

Because of the temporary transfer, Yu Huaiyou didn't "kill the donkey after the millstone was used," but let this trainee class continue to live in the hotel until graduation.

And the hotel also provided convenience, including exam rooms, food, and accommodation.

"How did you do?"

Li Xuewu turned back to look at Huang Gan and asked, "Don't you know you can't ask about the situation after the exam?"

Huang Gan was stunned by Li Xuewu's words and then asked, "Why?"

After Huang Gan walked up to be level with him, Li Xuewu continued, "Because knowing others' answers or exam situations will make you feel regretful and sad, affecting the next subject's exam."

"Hmm?"

Huang Gan laughed, "Are you that confident?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

The two laughed and ate in the cafeteria, then got on the large truck waiting at the entrance.

The skill exam was arranged at the western suburbs shooting range where they conducted the shooting experiment yesterday.

Wang Xueren provided a few GAZ-69s and 212s as exam cars.

Li Xuewu naturally wasn't afraid of the shooting project; both the Type 56 and Type 54 achieved good results.

During his time in Jinmen, Li Xuewu practiced a lot, and his feel gradually came back.

After firing the bullets in the magazine, Li Xuewu handed the gun to the examiner beside him.

After finishing the exam here, he went directly to the driving exam, just like an assembly line.

When it was Li Xuewu's turn to get in the car, he happened to get a 212.

Although he hadn't driven this thing many times, he was familiar with it.

The driving examiner sat to one side, watching Li Xuewu start the engine, stomp the accelerator to the floor, and the car shot out like an arrow from a bow.

"Slow down, slow down."

The examiner's hand gripped the handle tightly, very afraid of being thrown against the car door.

At this time, there were no seatbelts; riding in a car relied entirely on handles and a hard head.

Li Xuewu turned a deaf ear to the examiner's words, having the posture of "either give me a high score or we die together."

The examiner watched Li Xuewu's long arms turning the steering wheel. At the corner, the car was like a boat; one side's tires gripped the ground, while the other side clearly felt like it was already floating.

It slid for a while, then straightened the car body, and continued to gallop quickly on the road.

The examiner originally wanted to persist, but seeing Li Xuewu still stomping on the accelerator.

"Fine, fine, I'll pass you."

This damn thing, if he kept examining, there would be a life danger. This kid stomped the accelerator to the floor and didn't even touch the brake, relying entirely on the steering wheel to navigate.

The examiner also thought, damn it, it's not his own unit, why risk his life to be so serious with him!

Hearing the examiner's words, Li Xuewu slowed down and drove the car back to the exam point.

The examiner asked Li Xuewu before getting out of the car, "Where do you usually drive?"

"Why?"

Li Xuewu looked at the examiner and then said, "I drive a lot when I'm in Dongcheng, but I rarely drive."

"That's good."

"What do you mean?"

Li Xuewu didn't know why the examiner asked this, so he smiled and said, "Come to Dongcheng to play, I'll treat you."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood."

The examiner said to Li Xuewu, "I'll try to go to Dongcheng as little as possible in the future; there's a life danger."

"..."

In his previous life, when Li Xuewu took the driver's license test, he did exactly this: stomp the accelerator to the floor and only control the steering wheel.

For Subject 3, not to mention the 100-meter acceleration, the engine almost exploded from Li Xuewu's stomping.

It was the examiner in the passenger seat who kept stomping the brake on his side to control the speed, which was how he passed.

This time, Li Xuewu planned to do the same. If you don't actively shout stop, I'll let you experience speed and passion.

The skill exam shooting basically didn't take much time, and the driving only took ten minutes.

The combat exam took a longer time.

Liu Zheng found security guards from the auditorium as examiners to conduct one-on-one combat exams.

Good heavens, they were all young men of 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 years old.

And not to mention how they were selected from the troops, just looking at their physique, they were much stronger than these uncles and aunts sitting in offices.

Li Xuewu watched as the auditorium security guard threw the squad leader Zhou Zhengquan onto the mat.

That's right, he threw him out, flying up, bang!

Throwing him out wasn't enough; the security guard chased after him and gestured two punches toward his face.

This face was lost completely; Zhou Zhengquan also didn't expect this bunch of grandsons to play for real.

Generally speaking, this kind of training class doesn't care much about this course, and the instructors for the exam are also "teaching according to aptitude."

But they never expected that Liu Zheng would find these upright young men to be examiners.

Other trainees also suffered losses in this subject; not many could knock down the examiners.

Li Xuewu saw Wang Zheng knock down her opponent.

This young lady really dared to take action, with every move aimed at the examiner's vital points.

The examiner was a young man. Seeing that Wang Zheng was a female comrade, how could he use his full strength?

Finally, the two tangled together, and Wang Zheng used a clever move to trip the examiner.

The examiner, who should have been annoyed, didn't seem to have that intention when Li Xuewu looked at him. When Wang Zheng pulled him up, his face even blushed.

Huang Gan was quite impressive. This kid relied on his skills to fight the examiner openly and honestly.

In order to get a high score, Huang Gan also became ruthless, his punches never leaving the other's head.

Finally, the examiner retreated, unwilling to fight this idiot and get injured, so he gave him a high score.

By the time it was Li Xuewu's turn, it was considered the last batch.

The examiner opposite had already examined several trainees and was panting a bit.

"Do you want to rest for a while?"

Hearing Li Xuewu's suggestion, the security guard looked at Li Xuewu's physique, waved his hand, and said, "Come on, let's end the battle quickly, you have..."

Before the examiner could finish his words, Li Xuewu took a quick step, threw a punch, and hit the examiner's side face.

Although they were wearing protective gear, Li Xuewu's hit still stunned the examiner.

The trainees also knew Li Xuewu was powerful, but seeing the examiner lineup today, they still wanted to see if Li Xuewu could pass.

But everyone never expected Li Xuewu's fist to be so unreasonable. As soon as the examiner waved his hand, Li Xuewu hit him.

Li Xuewu didn't wait for the other party to say he didn't follow martial arts ethics. He chased after the swaying examiner, gave him a big back throw, and then performed a detention action.

When the examiner was helped up by his companions and Li Xuewu, he was still stunned.

Other examiners looked at Li Xuewu's actions of putting on handcuffs and covering his head, knowing that Li Xuewu was a professional.

So for the combat subject, Li Xuewu got a high score directly.

A morning of writing furiously, an afternoon of hearty fighting, although he was "tricked" by Liu Zheng in the last combat exam.

But the excitement of graduation still made everyone very happy, and they started singing on the way back.

The songs "Unity is Strength" and "Returning from Target Practice" were sung all the way.

Returning to the Auditorium Hotel, the sky was already dark.

Everyone was asked by the training cadres to return to their rooms to rest and go to the cafeteria at 7:00 PM sharp for the dinner party.

The rooms here were much higher grade than the training school in Jinmen, because the rooms had bathrooms and bathing facilities.

Li Xuewu let Huang Gan wash first, then he went in to take a shower.

"Finally done. Why do I feel a bit nostalgic?"

Huang Gan lay on the bed, patting his stomach, looking regretfully at the teaching materials on the desk at his feet.

"People, they are just that worthless."

Li Xuewu wiped his hair with his towel, stood in front of the mirror, and said, "Don't want to come when you come, don't want to leave when you leave."

"Hey~"

Huang Gan sighed and said, "You know me, I'm delicate in thought, warm-hearted..."

"Hehehe."

Li Xuewu turned to look at Huang Gan and casually picked up a wooden comb to comb himself into a "lightning-struck" hairstyle.

"Why do I always feel like you don't want to go home?"

"Nonsense!"

Huang Gan heard Li Xuewu's words and hurriedly looked at the door to see if his sister was at the door.

Wang Zheng was familiar with Li Xuewu now, and sometimes she would come here to visit.

"You're trapping me in unrighteousness!"

As he spoke, he looked like someone who had been through it all, looked at Li Xuewu, and said, "You're still young. When you get married, you'll know the pain of a married man."

"Yo-ho!"

Li Xuewu glanced at the room door and then said to Huang Gan, "Senior, pass on some experience."

Huang Gan was already lying on the bed, curling his lips and saying, "Do you think I'm talking nonsense to you?"

As he spoke, he lit a cigarette for himself with a bitter and deep-seated hatred.

"Women are really... sigh, gentle as water before marriage, after marriage..."

Wang Zheng, who came in at the door, heard this sentence, turned her head, looked at Li Xuewu with her big eyes, and then stood by the wall.

Who was Li Xuewu? He was a master famous for putting righteousness first and helping brothers with two ribs!

Seeing Huang Gan's sister eavesdropping at this moment, what could he do? What would he do?

"Teacher Huang, this needs to be expanded upon, otherwise I won't understand."

As he spoke, Li Xuewu put down the wooden comb in his hand, walked to the desk, pulled out the chair, and sat directly in front of Huang Gan's bed.

"Look at my age, I haven't been in a relationship, and I don't have any experience. Please give me some guidance~"

Huang Gan heard Li Xuewu call him teacher, full of smiles, smoked a cigarette coolly, waved his hand, and said, "Don't look at your grades being better than mine, but when it comes to relationships, you really might not win against me."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Li Xuewu looked like he was being taught, almost ready to take out a notebook to take notes.

Huang Gan said proudly, "I was a handsome young man in the courtyard back then, with a bunch of girls spinning around me, hehe."

Speaking of this, he pointed at Li Xuewu and said, "This is innate personal charm, can't be forced. Don't make things difficult for yourself."

Li Xuewu looked at Huang Gan lying there acting cool, his mouth twitched, thinking this is what you asked for, don't blame me...

"What about sister-in-law? Did sister-in-law chase you too?"

"That's right!"

Huang Gan narrowed his eyes, took a puff of his cigarette, and said to Li Xuewu, "If your sister-in-law hadn't been pestering me to be in a relationship back then, could I have chosen her?"

"Hmm hmm hmm."

Li Xuewu felt he hadn't taken notes, but Wang Zheng behind him had already started taking notes.

Seeing Li Xuewu's "pecking rice" appearance, Huang Gan pointed out, "This woman, you just can't spoil her. You have to be arrogant, you have to be reserved."

Li Xuewu smiled and asked, "Then are you reserved at home too? Sister-in-law must be very gentle to you, right?"

"Of course!"

Huang Gan raised his head and said, "If I say one, she absolutely dares not say two."

After saying this, Huang Gan felt his life had reached its peak, and said quite regretfully, "She's just too gentle, it's boring. I still like it a bit spicy."

"Second brother, so you're living so unhappily. Don't worry, spicy, right? I'll tell sister-in-law what you said!"

"When did you come!"

Seeing Wang Zheng suddenly flash out, Huang Gan's face froze, and he jumped off the bed with the cigarette in his mouth.

"Just when you were talking about the pain of a married man."

"Wang Zheng."

Huang Gan twitched his mouth, not having time to deal with Li Xuewu, who was standing to one side laughing, and walked quickly to the door, saying to Wang Zheng, "Are you my sister?"

Wang Zheng stared and nodded, "Yes!"

Huang Gan said with a smile, "Then is our relationship better than the relationship between your sister-in-law and you?"

Wang Zheng had a thoughtful expression, then nodded and asked, "Why?"

"Still asking why?"

Huang Gan raised his eyebrows and continued, "We have a blood relationship, she is an outsider..."

Wang Zheng looked at Huang Gan and nodded, saying, "So sister-in-law is an outsider!"

"I...!"

Feeling that the more he explained, the darker it got, Huang Gan rubbed his face, looked at Wang Zheng, and asked, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"Second brother, how could you think of me like that?!"

Wang Zheng had an "you wronged me" expression, stared, and said aggrievedly, "I am an upright person!"

"Also! I'm doing this for your own good!"

Huang Gan pointed at Li Xuewu and said to Wang Zheng, "Learn something good from him!"

"Hmm hmm."

Li Xuewu saw Huang Gan pointing at himself while talking, so he nodded and said, "Learn from your brother, look at how good your brother is, he only knows how to play one set in front of people and another behind their backs."

"You're not a good thing either."

Huang Gan looked at Li Xuewu, the culprit who induced him to make a mistake, angry and wanting to take action, but afraid he couldn't beat him.

"Second brother!"

Wang Zheng stared and said to Huang Gan, "When should I send that bag of seafood to sister-in-law?"

Huang Gan turned to look at Wang Zheng and laughed dryly, "Look at what you're saying, that was second brother joking with you in the car. Isn't it natural for you to eat second brother's things?"

"Really?"

Wang Zheng looked at Huang Gan and smiled, "My memory isn't very good. If there's food, I easily forget things. You wouldn't be wanting me to forget something, would you?"

"Hahahaha."

Huang Gan pointed to the sound of gathering in the corridor and said, "Look, it's time for the dinner party. Let's go to the dinner party, forget all the unhappiness today!"

Li Xuewu and Wang Zheng exchanged a smile and followed Huang Gan out the door.

The location of the dinner party was still the cafeteria, as usual, just with richer dishes.

The chef here was still very high-level. Maybe there was a farm specifically supplying this place, so Li Xuewu saw many off-season vegetables in the dishes.

"We really caught a break thanks to Li Xuewu this time, hahaha."

Zhou Zhengquan said this as soon as he saw Li Xuewu enter the room.

Li Xuewu looked at everyone's expressions and then smiled, "It's the leader's command, the Auditorium Security Department and the students' hard work, and the countless grassroots comrades who gave their lives. I only played a role in threading the needle."

Covering Zhou Zhengquan's words, Li Xuewu exchanged polite remarks with several students and sat at Wang Xiaoqin's table with Huang Gan and Wang Zheng.

Seeing Li Xuewu speak politely and be so down-to-earth, everyone withdrew their gazes.

Zhou Zhengquan, however, thick-skinned, sat at their table.

He calculated that Li Xuewu was the key to this case, so Li Xuewu would definitely get the leader's attention at this dinner.

In other words, wherever Li Xuewu sat, the leader's gaze would be there. Sitting at the same table as Li Xuewu, he would definitely get the leader's attention.

Maybe Li Xuewu and the others came as soon as they heard the sound, so many people hadn't arrived yet.

So there were only cold dishes on the table, but the wine and drinks had already been served.

Maybe it really had something to do with meritorious service; what was placed on the table was Xifeng liquor.

This was definitely a high standard. Now Xifeng liquor was even better to drink than Moutai.

This table wasn't full either. Although everyone was hungry, no one moved their chopsticks.

Wang Xiaoqin sat beside Li Xuewu and asked Li Xuewu with a smile, "Xuewu, your combat skills are really good. Did you learn them in the army?"

Li Xuewu picked up the teapot on the table and poured water for the students nearby, saying, "Not entirely. Reconnaissance combat skills were learned uniformly in the army, and Baji Quan was learned on the southern battlefield."

He handed the teapot to Huang Gan, who was sitting across from Wang Zheng, and had him pour water for the students over there.

"But those moves are basically useless after coming back, only the capture moves can still be used."

Hu Jinbu nodded and said, "After all, they are lethal skills. Using them on the people would be a mistake."

"Yes."

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Later, by chance, I met a wrestling expert and learned a lot of useful moves from him."

As he spoke, he told a few people about the "pounce" move in wrestling.

"When I was training the security and guard teams in the factory, I integrated more wrestling moves into the capture techniques."

"This way, it has both the speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness of combat skills, and the stability of ensuring safety."

Hu Jinbu smiled and said, "You have good luck. I see Sister Wang hasn't had enough of the combat class."

"Hahahaha."

Wang Xiaoqin smiled and pointed at Wei Qing sitting opposite, "I actually think it's quite interesting. Ask Wei Qing, he practiced for half a month, and his body has become much lighter."

This could be considered an opportunity. Li Xuewu sat to the side and smiled, "My friend is an idler, has quite a bit of family wealth, and loves wrestling. When you have time, everyone can gather, exercise, and exercise. There is a venue over there."

"Oh?"

Hearing Li Xuewu say this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Although Li Xuewu said it was gathering to exercise, as long as these people gathered, it was a force.

They were all deputy-division-level cadres. Don't look at the rank as not high, but there were many people, and there was strength in numbers.

"I am actually very interested."

Wang Xiaoqin smiled and said, "The one in our family has been sitting in the office for too long. When winter comes, either his legs hurt or his hip bones hurt."

"Exactly, having a place to exercise is really good."

Huang Gan sat to one side and helped Li Xuewu, even saying seriously, "Since Li Xuewu has resources in this area, let him organize it. When we have time, we classmates should keep in touch more."

"Yes."

Everyone sitting at the table nodded in agreement.

There were no fools in this room; no one would push a relationship away.

Especially since Huang Gan mentioned a word: resources.

These people were all classmates, all each other's resources, all in various departments—who wouldn't need whom?

The preciousness of the training class was these relationships.

Even Zhou Zhengquan, who had been sitting over and hadn't been able to get a word in, was moved, smiling and distributing cigarettes to everyone at the table.

When he distributed to Li Xuewu's side, he also smiled and said, "I support your idea. It's rare for everyone to have a fate together. We can't let the fate break just because we graduated. It's good to have a place to sit down and keep in touch in the future."

Li Xuewu smiled and took the cigarette from Zhou Zhengquan's hand, and even took out a lighter to help the other party light it.

Although this old kid had a small heart, it was a collective after all, and the trainees were all in a competitive relationship.

Li Xuewu understood Zhou Zhengquan's psychology very well. After graduation, the way they got along might not be like this anymore.

Isn't university the same? Classmates in the same dormitory also have relationships that aren't very good. After entering society, they might reconnect if they have fate, and they might even help each other.

In his previous life, Li Xuewu had experienced many such training classes—skills, organization, communication, there were many.

Having a good relationship before graduation doesn't mean the relationship will definitely be good after graduation, and having a bad relationship before graduation doesn't mean the relationship will definitely be bad after graduation.

"The address is in Dongcheng. When you have time, please come to guide the work, monitor."

"Hahahaha."

Zhou Zhengquan smiled and patted Li Xuewu's shoulder, saying, "My time as a class cadre ends today. From tomorrow on, we'll all be old classmates. We should help each other."

Wang Xiaoqin glanced at Zhou Zhengquan and turned her head away.

She looked down on Zhou Zhengquan, which might be due to a woman's natural sensitivity or what's called being small-minded.

Just as everyone was laughing and talking, Liu Zheng walked in, accompanying Yu Huaiyou.
