Chapter 386: Wrong! Something's Wrong!

Nie Chenglin knew Li Xuewu was Li Huai De's man, but he hadn't heard that Li Huai De had a relationship with Xue Zhifu.

Furthermore, hadn't the Security Office been pulling at Gu Weijie of the Party Committee recently? How did they hit him again?

It wasn't that Nie Chenglin was timid, nor was he sensitive; it was that the things Li Xuewu had done before made him not believe that Li Xuewu was doing this just for that fire equipment project.

If Li Xuewu wanted to speed up the progress of the fire equipment project, he could have communicated directly with Kuang Yusheng and Xia Zhongquan; after all, they were all division-level cadres.

He could even have made the call directly to him; why be so aggressive?

Wrong! Something's wrong!

Nie Chenglin thought of this, opened his squinted eyes, and asked Xia Zhongquan: "How far has the Security Office's project progressed?"

Xia Zhongquan looked at Nie Chenglin glaring at him, then turned to look at Kuang Yusheng, who was standing, and immediately said: "Just started, cough cough, we..."

Xia Zhongquan's hesitation made Nie Chenglin realize immediately that the progress of this project was extremely unsatisfactory.

"Just tell me how far it has progressed. Are the drawings out?"

Xia Zhongquan knew that Deputy Factory Director Nie was from a technical background and couldn't be fooled by this matter.

"They are out, but they are first drafts. According to the requirements submitted by the Security Office, Zhou Gong's meaning is that this project might need a lot of effort for experiments and modifications."

As he spoke, he used several pieces of steel on Nie Chenglin's office desk to gesture and introduce: "First is the design of the carrier vehicle. The two trucks sent over can basically only use the power and transmission systems; everything else needs to be redesigned and manufactured."

"So troublesome?"

Nie Chenglin listened to Xia Zhongquan's report and couldn't help asking: "Can't we make a surprise attack? Get the final design out as soon as possible."

"I'm afraid not."

Xia Zhongquan smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying to Nie Chenglin: "You don't know, the Security Office's requirements are very high."

As he spoke, he used the steel blocks on the table to demonstrate: "This time, we need to develop two types of vehicles: one carrying a 15-ton water tank, equipped with high-pressure and normal-pressure water guns."

"One is a special vehicle with strong power pushing and shoveling functions, and the ability to break through extreme environments for rescue."

"The first type uses a normal truck chassis, and the second type uses a tank chassis."

"Tank?"

Nie Chenglin doubted he had heard wrong; he leaned forward and asked: "Is it necessary to go that big?"

"According to the usage requirements of the second type, only tank power can meet the standard."

Xia Zhongquan explained: "I can understand why the Security Office made such requirements; this kind of machinery will indeed be applied in the process of actual disaster relief."

"Then design it; come up with a plan."

Nie Chenglin felt this matter wasn't difficult; how could they not overcome it in a short time?

"No, listen to me finish."

Xia Zhongquan pointed to the steel blocks on the table: "This place needs to be able to hold fire tools, this place needs to be set up with high-pressure water guns, this place needs to be equipped with a contact radio, this place needs to..."

Listening to Xia Zhongquan's introduction, Nie Chenglin also understood why the Design Office couldn't come up with a plan in a short time.

"Why is Li Xuewu so troublesome!"

Nie Chenglin tapped the table and directly pointed out Li Xuewu's name to Xia Zhongquan.

No need to think; this matter must have been caused by Li Xuewu.

Why?

Because in the whole factory—no, in the whole of Beijing—there is simply no such strange command vehicle or duty vehicle.

The person who can think of such a strange fire truck must be that guy Li Xuewu.

After saying this, Nie Chenglin's fingers tapped on the table, and his eyes looked at Kuang Yusheng, who had been standing there.

"Tell me, what should we do?"

"This..."

Kuang Yusheng looked at Nie Chenglin in a difficult position and asked: "Should I go to the Security Office?"

"Go for what?"

Nie Chenglin frowned and said: "He's not in the Security Office now; he left right after the drill."

"Ah?"

Kuang Yusheng was stuck now; he hesitated for a moment and then said: "Should you give Deputy Secretary Xue a call?"

Nie Chenglin glanced at Kuang Yusheng, then picked up the cigarette on the table, lit it for himself, and asked: "How to call? Say I know about your violation of regulations? Plead for you?"

Kuang Yusheng was a cadre he had brought up, so some things could be said directly behind closed doors.

"Now there is only one way, and that is to have the Security Office withdraw the coordination letter."

Nie Chenglin reached out and flicked the ash in the ashtray; the smoke sprayed out from his two nostrils, as if he wanted to spray out the anger in his heart.

He had made up his mind: he couldn't go directly to Li Xuewu; that brat might have dug some pit or buried some shit waiting for him.

But he couldn't throw the Production Management Office away; this was his foothold in the Steel Mill.

So he could only glare at Kuang Yusheng and then continued: "Like this, you go directly to Deputy Secretary Xue, report the original situation of this matter, and make a profound self-criticism."

After explaining to Kuang Yusheng, he said to Xia Zhongquan: "You go find Li Huai De, say you want to rectify, but you can't find anyone when communicating and coordinating with the Security Office. In order not to delay work, can the seal be removed first?"

"Yes, I'll go right now!"

Xia Zhongquan agreed very readily, because the responsibility for the fire safety seal wasn't a big problem, and whether the seal was removed or not wouldn't cause big problems for the Design Office.

So hearing Nie Chenglin's arrangement, he went out the door.

And here, Kuang Yusheng was in a difficult position, asking Nie Chenglin with a bitter face: "If I tell the truth, will it...?"

"Do you think you can hide it?"

Nie Chenglin glared at Kuang Yusheng and then said: "Go back and reorganize the team properly. That is a Deputy Division Chief, a Deputy Division Chief in charge of work. Is this how you receive him? Is this how you send him away? How do you lead the team?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Kuang Yusheng nodded and said: "We have responsibility in this matter; it was my management that had loopholes..."

Nie Chenglin waved his hand and said: "Stop talking about those useless things. It's just that you're used to being masters; everything has to be done according to your department, right? Kicked the iron plate this time, didn't you?"

There were only two of them in the room, so Nie Chenglin's words were very straightforward and very unpleasant.

"I understood everything without being at the scene. This matter was originally your problem; you didn't know how to solve it when someone came to the door, and you pushed it away!"

Nie Chenglin was getting angrier as he spoke. Technical personnel who couldn't even fool the security personnel—what else could they do?

Another thing was the reception problem. A division chief came to raise a problem, and they let a section chief receive him. Could this not cause problems?

Angry, he took a puff of his cigarette, didn't even look at how long the cigarette butt was, and pressed it out directly in the ashtray.

"Pushing away is not enough; you knew people were going to find trouble and still dared to let the problem go. Now where do you want me to find someone to coordinate for you?"

Kuang Yusheng coming to find Nie Chenglin now was just looking for a peacemaker. He couldn't talk to Li Xuewu, so the Deputy Factory Director, who was one rank higher, should be able to talk, right?

Just as Nie Chenglin said, the Production Management Office had an arrogance from top to bottom; after all, it was the most important department in the factory.

Even after such a big thing happened, Kuang Yusheng would rather come directly to find the Deputy Factory Director to coordinate than think about going to the Security Office.

No wonder Nie Chenglin said they were used to being masters.

Kuang Yusheng also knew that Deputy Factory Director Nie was telling the truth; standing in front of the office desk being scolded, he didn't dare to make a sound.

But he knew clearly that Nie Chenglin wouldn't give up on these two departments and would definitely help handle it, so he listened to whatever Nie Chenglin said.

"Hurry to the Discipline Inspection Commission and admit your mistakes actively."

Nie Chenglin didn't want to look at Kuang Yusheng now; the more he looked, the angrier he got.

A Technical Office, Xia Zhongquan was from a design background, his brain was not good enough; now, damn it, Kuang Yusheng, who was from a production background, was being stubborn again.

Nie Chenglin picked up the phone and called the Factory Office, preparing to ask Xu Sinian if Factory Director Yang was there, preparing to make an appointment with Factory Director Yang.

This matter might eventually be poked to the top leader; Nie Chenglin was talking to Yang Fengshan now, so there was still room for maneuver.

If Yang Fengshan really waited to talk to him, then this matter would be really troublesome, and he would lose all his face.

The most critical thing was that Nie Chenglin felt there was other content inside.

What he could think of was that this brat Li Xuewu was playing bad again, wanting to take this opportunity to do something big.

At worst, it was a "diverting the disaster" trick, although Nie Chenglin hadn't figured out how Li Xuewu intended to divert it.

But it must have something to do with the new Gu Weijie. Li Xuewu was under pressure and had to play with shifting contradictions; now he might be aiming at him.

From the actions downstairs today, it could be seen that the Security Office in the hands of this bad seed Li Xuewu could never be as quiet and peaceful as when Fu Bin was there.

There are always people who think Li Xuewu is not a peaceful master, and there are always people who speculate on Li Xuewu's intentions.

Actually, Li Xuewu also wanted to be a good cadre loved by everyone, but damn it, the conditions didn't allow it; there were bad people among the leaders.

Li Xuewu felt that everything was going wrong today when he arrived at the Beijing Enamel Factory.

Enamel, also known as enamelware, is a composite material in which inorganic glassy materials are fused onto a substrate metal and firmly bonded to the metal.

The technical requirements for this thing are not that high; this craft has existed for a long time.

In the antique industry, there is an art called Cloisonné; what it actually refers to is this thing.

The Beijing Enamel Factory also constantly updated and developed according to the ancestors' craft, forming enamel daily products as the main product, carrying the memories of a generation of Chinese people.

How popular are these products? At this time, there is a saying: "Porcelain basins, porcelain plates, porcelain mouth jars; giving them as wedding gifts is face-saving."

Washbasins, tea-drinking jars, enamel fruit plates to hold fruit.

As long as it is a daily container for holding things, it can be related to enamel.

And at this time, enamel products can be exported and can create foreign exchange.

Including the Cloisonné that was burned before, the big fools overseas who bought them back as antiques later didn't buy few.

And this thing has a high inventory in European countries, and there are jokes about taking enamel spittoons as fruit plates, so you can imagine how awesome this enamel factory must be.

So a Deputy Division Chief of the Security Office of the Steel Mill coming to give a lecture didn't attract the attention of the Enamel Factory leaders.

Even though this Deputy Division Chief was also a Deputy Division Chief of the branch bureau, the Enamel Factory only let the Security Li Kezhang receive Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu looked at the three or four kittens in the conference room and wished he could change the lecture to playing mahjong.

Playing mahjong could at least be lively together; now he was lecturing in front, and the four or five people sitting below were listening absent-mindedly. Li Xuewu felt like he was a monkey performer.

Not the person leading the monkey, but the monkey itself.

"How about this, let's stop here for today."

Li Xuewu looked at his notebook, really not wanting to waste time like this.

So he only made a start, then said to the Security Li Kezhang of the Enamel Factory sitting below: "It seems the leaders of your Enamel Factory are all busy today, and even the grassroots cadres of the security department don't have time, so let's change the day, okay?"

This Security Li Kezhang knew how to speak; seeing Li Xuewu stop lecturing, he stood up and apologized repeatedly: "Really sorry, Division Chief Li. The factory leaders have an important meeting today, and the Security Office personnel have all gone to help."

"I know."

Li Xuewu smiled, with a very understanding expression, and said: "Which unit isn't busy now? Take us, for example; besides guarding the factory, we also have to help maintain the security of the streets, wishing we could split one person into two."

"Yes, yes, yes. We have already understood your advanced deeds."

Seeing Li Xuewu's secretary go to find the car, this Security Li Kezhang smiled apologetically: "You can understand us, that's really too good. Like this."

As he spoke, he looked at his watch, then invited Li Xuewu: "I'll take you to rest first. At noon, our leaders said they wanted to toast you a few times."

"Forget it, don't bother."

Li Xuewu saw that Sha Qizhi had already packed up, so he said with a smile: "You are busy, and I am busy too. I'm going to rush to the next itinerary. We'll sit down again when we have a chance."

As he spoke, he had already taken Sha Qizhi and walked out. The Security Li Kezhang looked at his colleagues who were looking at him, then followed Li Xuewu and chased him out.

"Division Chief Li, look at this, how about we make an appointment for the evening?"

As he spoke, he had followed Li Xuewu out of the conference room. Seeing Li Xuewu's secretary go to find the car, he invited Li Xuewu: "Our factory's cook used to be from a big restaurant. If you are free in the evening, come and taste the craftsmanship of our small cafeteria."

"Heh, I'm really not being polite with you!"

Li Xuewu waved his hand and smiled at the Security Li Kezhang: "I really want to taste the food of our district's key enterprise, but I have an appointment with my mother-in-law tonight; it's really not a coincidence. We are all brother units; no need to be so polite."

Hearing Li Xuewu be so generous and easy to talk to, this person was also embarrassed. Seeing Li Xuewu's car come over, he personally opened the car door.

"Oh, don't be like this."

Li Xuewu smiled and shook hands with the Security Li Kezhang, saying with a smile: "If you are so polite, I won't dare to come next time. Hahaha."

The Security Li Kezhang shook Li Xuewu's hand and apologized again: "Making you run for nothing, really sorry."

Li Xuewu got into the car, waved at him with a smile, and said: "Alright, mutual understanding. We're leaving, goodbye."

Sha Qizhi heard Li Xuewu's words, closed the car door for Li Xuewu from the outside, and then got into the passenger seat.

When Li Xuewu waved, Han Jiankun started the car and drove toward the Enamel Factory's main gate.

Sha Qizhi sat in the passenger seat, always watching Li Xuewu's expression with the corner of his eye.

But until the car reached the main road, he didn't see any change in Li Xuewu's expression.

Only after the vehicle got onto the main road did Li Xuewu's voice come from behind.

"Go to the branch bureau."

"Yes."

Han Jiankun had said this word the most these days; for any instruction from Li Xuewu, his answer was clean, neat, and crisp.

Although Li Xuewu only said three words, Sha Qizhi still felt Li Xuewu's mood.

He saw this whole thing today; no matter how polite that Security Li Kezhang was, he couldn't hide the Enamel Factory's contempt for Li Xuewu's lecture this time.

Furthermore, it was contempt for Li Xuewu, contempt for Li Xuewu, the dual Deputy Division Chief of the Security Office and the Public Order Office.

It would be one thing if there hadn't been that matter in the Steel Mill this morning, but with continuous problems today, the person behind him was not a good-tempered one.

Especially since Li Xuewu was so polite to that Security Li Kezhang, the more polite he was, the more Sha Qizhi felt that today's matter was big.

Sha Qizhi now didn't dare to steal glances at Li Xuewu behind him; he was really afraid Li Xuewu would come at him.

This was because Sha Qizhi didn't understand Li Xuewu yet; if he understood, he would know that Li Xuewu would never lose his temper for no reason.

And he wouldn't take his anger out on his subordinates; that wouldn't gain the support of so many people in the Security Office.

The few times he did, they all had other purposes, just like this morning, even Deputy Factory Director Nie didn't think Li Xuewu was losing his temper.

Who are you fooling?

Can a leader who manages an office lose his temper casually?

Are you playing?

No matter how you talk about this matter, no one will believe that Li Xuewu was simply losing his temper because the Security Office's project was delayed.

"Why aren't you talking?"

Li Xuewu leaned back in the back seat, looked at the two people in front, and asked: "Am I that scary?"

"No~"

Sha Qizhi pursed his lips; since Li Xuewu asked, someone had to answer.

There were three people in this car; counting on Han Jiankun to answer would take until the Year of the Monkey. So Sha Qizhi had the self-awareness to catch Li Xuewu's words.

He couldn't grasp Li Xuewu's temper at this moment, but he still had to follow Li Xuewu's words.

So he turned his body while holding the seat and looked at Li Xuewu, asking: "Division Chief, aren't you angry?"

Seeing Li Xuewu look at him, he explained: "They obviously didn't take us seriously!"

Sha Qizhi was also a good seedling; after following Li Xuewu for a few days, he had already learned how to speak.

He didn't say the Enamel Factory gave Li Xuewu a hard time, but used the intimate vocabulary "us."

"Hahaha."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Do you think my position as Deputy Division Chief is very big?"

Without waiting for Sha Qizhi to answer, his eyes looked out of the car, looking at the red bricks and green tiles of Beijing.

"The thing this city lacks the least is cadres. Someone like me, you stand upstairs and throw a brick, and you can hit three."

"You really know how to joke. Heh."

Li Xuewu told a joke, but he didn't dare to laugh, and he didn't feel Li Xuewu was joking, so he could only answer lightly.

Looking at Sha Qizhi's restrained appearance, Li Xuewu smiled and said: "I used to tell people in the Security Office that this Deputy Division Chief of mine is nothing once I leave the Steel Mill."

Without waiting for Sha Qizhi to react, Li Xuewu continued: "In Dongcheng, I say the same thing; I don't even need to leave Dongcheng."

Sha Qizhi held the seat, looking at Li Xuewu, who was looking out the window, and said: "I think you have quite a demeanor, more demeanor than any leader I've seen."

"Is that so! Hahaha~"

Li Xuewu smiled quite contentedly and said: "So don't listen to what people outside say, don't be afraid of me. If my comrades are all afraid of me, then wouldn't I be a bad person?"

"Yes."

Sha Qizhi smiled and said: "It's not fear; it's respect, reverence."

"Don't!"

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "Don't use this word; I'll have pressure."

Seeming to be quite in the mood to talk today, Li Xuewu said to Sha Qizhi while observing the Beijing city welcoming spring: "I told you, we are comrades at work, and we are friends in private."

The Beijing city in early spring was still a gray-yellow color, but from time to time, a touch of spring color would bump into Li Xuewu's eyes.

Those were a few branches stretching out from the corner of the wall, dotted with pink and white flowers.

At this time, those who dared to bloom in the wind and snow must be the plum blossoms blooming alone in the cold.

"After getting along for a long time, you will know me."

Li Xuewu crossed his hands on his legs and said slowly: "I dare not say I am upright and unyielding, but I am also upright. Saying I am open-minded and generous sounds like boasting, but I have indeed never done anything to frame others."

After finishing this sentence, Li Xuewu paused, as if he remembered Sha Qizhi's previous question, and answered it.

"I am also a human, and I will have seven emotions and six desires, but I won't make myself so embarrassed because of such a small matter."

Sha Qizhi didn't know if being treated with contempt counted as a small matter to Li Xuewu, but in his view, if this matter were placed on him, he might have flicked his sleeves and left long ago; how could he be so polite to the other party?

This was also where Sha Qizhi admired Li Xuewu, feeling that Li Xuewu had great tolerance.

Hearing Li Xuewu say he was upright, Sha Qizhi felt that these words were not empty.

Even with the matter Li Xuewu instructed him to do, from the observations of following Li Xuewu these days, Li Xuewu was indeed an upright, diligent, and responsible good cadre.

Sha Qizhi felt that Li Xuewu had suffered a great grievance today; he didn't expect the Division Chief to be so tolerant of others.

The jeep entered the branch bureau's courtyard; Li Xuewu waved for Sha Qizhi to follow him and let Han Jiankun go park the car.

Following Li Xuewu upstairs, Sha Qizhi consciously carried the briefcase and walked behind without saying a word.

"This is my office; find a place to sit."

Li Xuewu pushed open his office door, said this to Sha Qizhi, then took the briefcase from Sha Qizhi's hand, took out the documents he wrote last night, and sat at the office desk.

Sha Qizhi was also here for the first time in Li Xuewu's branch bureau office. Although Li Xuewu didn't say what he should do here, he consciously went to the tea cabinet to find a cup and made a cup of tea for Li Xuewu.

The tea leaves here were provided by the office; Sha Qizhi looked, and they weren't as good as the ones in Li Xuewu's office in the Steel Mill.

Not just the tea leaves, everything in this office wasn't as good as the one in the Steel Mill.

"Division Chief, tea."

"Good."

Li Xuewu glanced at Sha Qizhi, then waved for him to sit down, and continued to work on his hands.

Sha Qizhi didn't just sit there, but took out his notebook and began to organize the notes he had made earlier.

The two of them were busy with their own things, and the office suddenly became quiet.

But this quietness was soon broken by a sudden knock on the door.

"Deputy Division Chief Li?"

Tan Lincai held the doorknob and looked into the room, then asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

After saying this, Tan Lincai knew he had said the wrong thing, so he added: "I mean, shouldn't you be at the Enamel Factory at this time?"

Li Xuewu looked up and saw Office Deputy Director Tan Lincai standing at the door.

"It's Director Tan."

Li Xuewu didn't get up either, pinched the fountain pen in his hand, and gestured, saying: "The leaders of the Enamel Factory are all busy and don't have time to listen to the lecture, so we came back."

As he spoke, he smiled at Tan Lincai: "Don't tell Director Zheng; I'm not slacking off today. I'm just taking this time to organize the organization documents for the emergency team."

Tan Lincai blinked in surprise, and then understood what was going on.

But he didn't continue Li Xuewu's words, but walked into the room, looked at the teacup on Li Xuewu's desk, and then looked at the young man who was standing up to greet him.

"Look, I said so. I passed by your door and found out why this door was open."

Seeing Tan Lincai say this, Li Xuewu pointed to Sha Qizhi, who had stood up, and said with a smile: "This is my clerk from the Steel Mill, Sha Qizhi. He heard that the master chef in our agency cafeteria has good craftsmanship and insisted on coming to taste it. Hahaha."

Hearing Li Xuewu's words, Tan Lincai took the initiative to shake hands with Sha Qizhi and introduced himself: "I am Tan Lincai, Secretary Sha, hello."

Sha Qizhi knew what level Tan Lincai was from Li Xuewu's address and attitude just now.

So he shook Tan Lincai's hand with both hands and said with a smile: "Director Tan, hello. Division Chief Li said that there are talents everywhere in our branch bureau, and asked me to follow and learn more."

"Hahahaha."

Hearing Sha Qizhi's words, Tan Lincai patted the hand he was holding and laughed: "The Steel Mill's secretary really has a level. Let's learn from each other."

As he spoke, he said to Sha Qizhi intimately in a low voice: "Division Chief Li is lying to you; our master chef's cooking isn't good."

Seeing Sha Qizhi's slightly stunned expression, he laughed again: "But the portions are generous. Hahaha."

Sha Qizhi didn't know if Tan Lincai was joking with him, so he also said with a smile: "Then I'm in luck today. Hehehe."

Tan Lincai said a few words to Sha Qizhi, and seeing Li Xuewu was busy, he said with a smile: "Alright, Division Chief Li, you get busy; call me if you have anything."

Li Xuewu waved at Tan Lincai, who was walking out sideways, and responded casually.

Seeing Li Xuewu's casual attitude, Tan Lincai's smile became even richer, and he closed the office door for Li Xuewu on his way out.

Li Xuewu glanced at the door and continued to work on his hands.

Sha Qizhi also thought it was fine, so he sat down and continued to work on his own things.

But before he could settle down for ten minutes, the phone on Li Xuewu's office desk suddenly rang.

Everyone in the branch bureau knew there was a person named Li Xuewu, but no one knew when Li Xuewu would come to work.

The person who could call now was either someone who confirmed Li Xuewu was in the office or someone with a higher rank than Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu put down the fountain pen in his hand, picked up the phone, put it to his ear, and said: "Hello, I am Li Xuewu."

"Yes, immediately."

Sha Qizhi didn't know what was going on; he stood up again, looking at Li Xuewu, who was getting up, waiting for orders.

Li Xuewu waved his hand, and while packing the documents on the desk, said to Sha Qizhi: "Sit down; it's a leader looking for me for something. I'll call you when it's time to eat later."

After saying this, Li Xuewu had already packed the documents, walked out from behind the office desk, and walked out.

Sha Qizhi sent Li Xuewu out blankly, closed the door tightly, and looked at Li Xuewu's office desk.

Thinking of what Li Xuewu said to Director Tan just now, and linking it to the phone call just now, Sha Qizhi didn't know if Li Xuewu was doing it on purpose.

Was it intentional to say that, letting Director Tan pass the message to the leader?

He felt Li Xuewu was an upright person in the car just now, but the things he saw and heard now made Sha Qizhi's belief shake slightly.

Was it a coincidence, or was it like what he guessed?

Sha Qizhi didn't know, because he couldn't hear or see what was being reported to the leaders here.

What he could hear and see were the words Li Xuewu said in the car and the things he did at the Enamel Factory.

Walking back to the sofa and looking at the notes he had made, Sha Qizhi felt so lost.

Before becoming the Division Chief's clerk, he envied this kind of glory, envied this kind of busyness, and envied this kind of liveliness of following leaders in and out.

But now he didn't know if he liked this kind of work, or if he could handle this kind of work.

This would have some deviation from his original dream, and this deviation was prompting him to constantly reflect on himself.

He didn't dare to evaluate Li Xuewu rashly, because in his heart, Li Xuewu was still a good person, a good leader; at least that's what he thought.

Li Xuewu didn't go to Zheng Fuhua's office to complain as Sha Qizhi thought, nor did he beg Zheng Fuhua to support him.

Some things don't need to be said by yourself, and some things leaders know but won't ask directly.

This is the tacit understanding in agency work, and it is also the basis for mutual trust between superiors and subordinates.

"I heard you are already preparing the organization structure documents for the emergency team?"

Zheng Fuhua signaled the secretary in the office to make a cup of tea for Li Xuewu; obviously, he wanted to talk to Li Xuewu for a while.

The secretary was also very observant, made a cup of tea for Li Xuewu quickly, and then walked out the door and closed it.

Li Xuewu didn't wait for the secretary to leave before answering Zheng Fuhua's words; that would seem disrespectful to the comrades beside Zheng Fuhua, and also make himself look petty.

"I said I would be seriously responsible for the work on both sides and wouldn't be lazy."

Li Xuewu took Zheng Fuhua's cigarette from the office desk, lit it for himself, and asked with a smile: "You don't think I'm going to hide in the Steel Mill to slack off every day, do you?"

"You are not that kind of person!"

Zheng Fuhua signaled to Li Xuewu with a smile, wanting to see the documents in Li Xuewu's hand.

"The Li Xuewu I know is smart, capable, and responsible, upright, brave, and capable of achievements."

After praising Li Xuewu, he squinted his eyes and continued: "And can unite comrades, help comrades improve their business capabilities, just like helping the two station chiefs learn how to do work."

Hearing Zheng Fuhua say this about himself, Li Xuewu also understood what he meant; those two idiots must have leaked the wind to Zheng Fuhua.

"I haven't finished writing this yet; please give me more opinions."

Li Xuewu handed the document to Zheng Fuhua while flicking the ash in the ashtray on the side.

His mouth was saying: "If you talk about being responsible and daring to achieve, I can only say I'm flattered by your love. I think the leaders of our stations are more suitable, but I dare to accept words like smart and upright; at least I am smarter than Shen Fang. Hahaha."

"Hehehe, look at you!"

Zheng Fuhua took the document and prepared to read it, and looked at Li Xuewu's expression after hearing Li Xuewu say this.

"Tomorrow, Division Chief Li, teach me too, let me learn and improve!"

Zheng Fuhua was obviously confirming whether what Li Xuewu said was the truth and whether he had emotions.

Seeing Li Xuewu still had that... that "diao" look, Zheng Fuhua was relieved.

When he first met Li Xuewu, Zheng Fuhua knew this young man was not ordinary; looking at it now, he really had some skills.

At first, Zheng Fuhua also felt that Li Xuewu had spirituality in business and had command ability in handling tricky cases.

Later, after hearing that Li Xuewu had broken a major case that had embarrassed the ministry, Zheng Fuhua confirmed his point of view even more.

What he didn't expect now was that Li Xuewu also had great talent in management; one could see the depth from the organization structure document in his hand.

Zheng Fuhua let Li Xuewu be fully responsible for the construction of a department from scratch; he had the meaning of giving Li Xuewu power, and also the meaning of testing Li Xuewu.

He just wanted to see if Li Xuewu had the talent for management, but he didn't expect Li Xuewu to give him constant surprises.

Sure enough, someone who can open up the situation in the Steel Mill is not a simple character.

"Not bad."

Zheng Fuhua didn't read it all, but read the main parts.

"Is the address chosen?"

"Not yet; where is the time!"

Li Xuewu held the cigarette in his mouth and didn't miss any opportunity to brainwash the leader, constantly instilling in the leader the consciousness that he was very busy.

He took the document back from Zheng Fuhua's hand, and hearing Zheng Fuhua ask, he reached out and took the cigarette from his mouth and flicked the ash.

As if he had become an immortal, smoke was coming out of his two nostrils, but his mouth was impolitely asking: "When did our people leave?"

"On time."

Zheng Fuhua checked his watch, then crossed his hands on the office desk and said to Li Xuewu: "According to the time you set, they went directly to the training ground to report."

"Hmm, hmm."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "I have arranged the training ground, but you have to have some patience; this kind of training has no shortcuts, and shortcuts are not good."

First, he gave Zheng Fuhua a preventive shot, then continued: "I discussed it with Shen Fang and the others, wanting to rely on the resources of their two stations and choose a site in the middle of the two streets, not far from our branch bureau."

"Hmm."

Zheng Fuhua nodded and said: "This idea is okay; I can give you a few suggestions."

As he spoke, he flipped through the table beside him and found a map and placed it on the table.

Li Xuewu knew that the bureau had preparations; how could the construction of a department be left to him to decide casually?

Zheng Fuhua didn't hide anything and pointed out a few locations on the map for Li Xuewu.

None were far, and one of them met the conditions Li Xuewu mentioned.

"Leader, can this place be used?"

Li Xuewu pointed to a large mansion at the intersection of Jiaodaokou and Beixinqiao and asked: "This place is protected, right?"

"Let me see."

Zheng Fuhua reached out and opened Li Xuewu's finger pointing at the map, squinting his eyes and looking carefully.

This location is in Ju'er Hutong, only two turns away from the branch bureau; if you are in a hurry, you can run there in the time it takes to fart.

The location is a good location, but this place is an ancient mansion, the mansion of Ronglu, a minister in the late Qing Dynasty.

"Your eyes are really thieves; you only peck at fat meat."

Zheng Fuhua looked up at Li Xuewu and then asked: "Why choose this location? Besides being close to us, what else?"

He didn't care about Li Xuewu's impoliteness in his office; the more casual Li Xuewu was, the more he felt Li Xuewu had skills, confidence, and ability.

If it were someone like Shen Fang or Duan Youting, who were timid when they saw him, it would be obvious they had no confidence in their hearts.

Li Xuewu was also "desireless and strong"; he was invited by the branch bureau, not because he wanted to come.

Don't look at Zheng Fuhua as a Deputy Bureau Chief; Li Xuewu didn't feel there was anything to be afraid of. If there is work, do work; if there is no work, chatting about idle things won't delay work.

Li Xuewu pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said with a smile: "I snuck in to play when I was a child; the place inside is not small."

As he spoke, he gestured on the map to explain to Zheng Fuhua: "The houses inside can be used, and there is a large garden to conduct training. The most important thing is that it's really convenient to come in and out of this place."

Li Xuewu pointed to several key protection targets nearby and said very seriously: "As long as there are duty vehicles, Dongcheng is within your ten-minute rapid processing range."

"Hmm."

Zheng Fuhua listened to Li Xuewu say this and was also quite satisfied with this place; he liked Li Xuewu's confident energy and liked Li Xuewu's way of speaking.

Look, within your processing range, hum hum~

After looking at the map in his hand again, he stood up and said to Li Xuewu: "Let's go, let's go see it on the spot."

As he spoke, he had already walked to the office door to call the secretary next door to make arrangements.

Li Xuewu hurriedly bundled the folder and walked to the door and asked Zheng Fuhua: "Leader, are we going now?"

Zheng Fuhua looked back at Li Xuewu and said: "This isn't because Division Chief Li is busy? Since it's hard to have time today, we have to accommodate Division Chief Li's time."

"I really admire you!"

Li Xuewu walked out the door with a smile, not caring that Zheng Fuhua's secretary was on the side, and joked: "If you want to order people around, just order them around; why make the words sound so fresh and refined?" ===== CHAPTER 387 =====
