Chapter 664: Exciting the Masses to Question Crimes

"Not asleep yet?"

Li Xuewu went up to the second floor and asked when he saw Gu Ning still sitting by the desk.

He lowered his head to look at the time on his hand; it was already almost ten o'clock.

"Not sleepy yet."

Gu Ning had already washed up, her hair was still loose. At this moment, she walked out of the study and looked at Li Xuewu, asking, "Is the matter settled?"

"Mm, very smooth."

Li Xuewu explained while taking off his clothes, "Sent older brother home to have a meal, then sent him to the First Detention Center."

Speaking of this, Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning again and explained, "It was decided early on."

"I know."

Gu Ning nodded, took Li Xuewu's clothes, saw him enter the bathroom, and went to the cloakroom to find him pajamas.

"Did Dad go to the mountains?"

Carrying the pajamas and walking back, seeing that the bathroom door wasn't closed, Gu Ning stood at the entrance and said, "When sister-in-law called, she said Dad wasn't at home."

"Mm, left this morning."

Li Xuewu said while taking a bath, "The early construction and medical work should be quite a lot and quite busy. Might not be able to come back once a month."

"Sister-in-law must be worried. I heard Mom asking about it too."

Gu Ning sat by the bed and waited for a while. Seeing Li Xuewu come out, she handed him the clothes.

Li Xuewu wiped his hair with a towel, casually placed the towel on the head of the bed, took the clothes, and explained while putting them on, "Also gave her a fright, but it's fine now."

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Gu Ning and said with a smile, "You didn't see the look on older brother's face when he went to the First Detention Center; he was as happy as a little scholar going to the capital for the imperial examination."

Gu Ning knew older brother-in-law's temper, and even more knew that his dream reading environment had finally been fulfilled.

At this moment, she also smiled with pursed lips, stood up, picked up the towel Li Xuewu had placed aside, and said, "The Public Security Brigade is not far from home. Dad isn't at home, go back and see more when you have time."

"Understood."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly at Gu Ning, thanking Gu Ning for her concern for his family, and also grateful for her understanding of his care for his family.

Some couples often quarrel over such things: you help your family, don't help mine, and so on.

In the end, the couple's feelings fade, the small family scatters, each returns to their own home, and neither home is anyone's home anymore.

When together with the object, they always say "my home, my home," and their own younger brother is also "elder sister this, elder sister that."

But when you leave and return home, is the home you speak of really your home?

Does your younger brother still treat you as a good elder sister?

The female side is like this, and the male side is also like this.

See through the essence of life, and see through the ability to live at home, understand each other, support each other.

Gu Ning thanked Li Xuewu for his care for her, for his concern for her maiden family, and she also understood Li Xuewu's care for his husband's family, for his concern for his husband's family.

Two people together, talking about family matters, is both warm and harmonious.

Li Xuewu didn't tell Gu Ning about the process at the school, fearing she would worry, and also fearing she would be afraid, as Gu Yan was also still at the school.

Universities in Beijing were basically like this now, just didn't know how things were on Gu Yan's side.

The night passed without a word. The next morning, Li Xuewu finished breakfast and was pondering whether to take the bus or drive the jeep to the unit when the command vehicle arrived at the entrance.

Li Shu stood by the sofa, her little mouth still "di-di"-ing.

Qin Jingru went to open the main gate, but the one who entered was Yu Decai.

"Division Chief, morning."

"Did Qizhi call you?"

Li Xuewu chuckled as soon as he saw Yu Decai enter the door, then said, "I was just pondering how to go to the factory."

"Hey~ He told me last night."

Yu Decai reported with a smile, "He told me, you arranged for him to go on a business trip, and little Han is also going, asking me to arrange a car for you. So I came here."

"This immortal~"

Li Xuewu said amusedly, patted Yu Decai's arm, and went out together.

Seeing Yu Decai wanting to go to the passenger seat, he gently pulled his arm and gestured to the back seat.

Yu Decai understood, smiled, and got into the car on the other side.

The driver was also from the division's small car class, but unlike Han Jiankun, who had a fixed leader and small car to serve, he was clearly a bit excited to be driving for the number one person now.

However, drivers in the small car class all had their own depth and wouldn't speak easily.

Seeing from the corner of his eye that the leaders had all gotten into the car, he then slowly drove the command vehicle out.

"It was still a matter from the New Year."

As soon as the car started, Li Xuewu nodded and said, "That time when I went to the frontier with Vice Factory Director Li, I was moved by the rich products in the frontier, so I planned a long-term cooperation."

"I heard Qizhi mention it, seemed quite urgent."

Yu Decai turned his body to face Li Xuewu and said, "Said it was a task you gave after getting off work."

"Because the phone call came after getting off work~"

Li Xuewu smiled helplessly and said, "It's Jin Yaohui, sigh~"

Speaking of this name, Li Xuewu shook his head with emotion, then said, "It's not that I'm criticizing anyone, but this older brother is too steady, doesn't dare to take big steps, doesn't dare to take small steps."

"Yes."

Yu Decai also cautiously probed Li Xuewu, not knowing if something had happened.

Li Xuewu's secretary and driver leaving far away overnight was definitely not a small matter.

If it were based on Li Xuewu's explanation, it would make sense, but he always felt that something was not quite right.

However, since Li Xuewu had said so, he had to follow this line of talk and continue chatting.

"Director Jin has worked in the office for many years, and he is indeed known for his steadiness. It's inevitable that those of us who have done secretarial work for a long time can't adapt to the challenges of the business side."

"Hehe."

Li Xuewu didn't expect Yu Decai to really say that. He chuckled and said, "Letting Qizhi and the other go is mainly because I don't have a bottom in my heart. That place is isolated, and I don't understand many things, making it difficult to make decisions."

"Is it about the joint enterprise?"

Yu Decai rarely took the initiative to participate in these decisions of Li Xuewu; he usually did whatever Li Xuewu arranged for him to do.

Now that he was asking actively, it wasn't that he was seeking anything from Li Xuewu, or seeking anything in the joint enterprise project.

He knew what his own ability level was. Just like what he said just now, being a secretary and office director was fine, but he wasn't convenient for the work of other business supervisors.

Having been a secretary for so many years, and an office director for so many years, at this age, he had long lost the heart to do business.

Probing Li Xuewu so openly, he just wanted to know what Li Xuewu's attitude was toward the biggest contradiction in the factory now, so it would be convenient for him to execute according to Li Xuewu's thinking in the subsequent work.

Li Xuewu also understood his probing, nodded slightly, and then said, "Better safe than sorry; avoid having trouble without preparation."

"That's the principle."

Yu Decai nodded in agreement and said, "I think it's good for Qizhi to take a trip, to see the state of our security division's stationed personnel there. This kind of work inspection is indispensable."

Li Xuewu glanced at Yu Decai, knowing that he still didn't believe what he said and the explanation he gave him.

But it didn't matter. He had made all the preparations that should be made. Whether it was investigation or inspection, Sha Qizhi and Han Jiankun's trip wasn't just for show.

The command vehicle drove all the way to the steel mill. When entering the main gate, Li Xuewu paid attention and saw that the order of the workers was okay, and there was no special situation.

When arriving at the office area, the personnel of the organ were the same; those who should be at work were at work, and those who should be checking in were checking in.

Actually, thinking about it, it was just those few people who were making trouble. If no one was leading, who would be willing to be that bird that sticks its head out?

Besides, among these ordinary workers, how many understood politics, understood what was being said on the radio? It was just people following the crowd, following the trend and making trouble.

No matter how lively you make a scene, this person, when it's time to eat, can't sleep; when it's time to sleep, can't go to the toilet; when going to the toilet, can't eat.

If things get messed up, they themselves feel awkward living. Ugly is ugly; it can't become beautiful.

Li Xuewu didn't stay in the office for long. Yu Decai wanted to arrange a temporary secretary for him, but he didn't want one.

Yu Decai didn't know how long Sha Qizhi and the others would be gone, and didn't dare to ask, so as soon as Li Xuewu said no need, he didn't insist anymore.

Just arranged for a driver from the small car class to drive for Li Xuewu temporarily, which Li Xuewu didn't say anything about.

Coming down from upstairs, Li Xuewu looked toward the Security Section, saw Han Zhan presiding over the work there, exhorted a few words, and went out.

He had to busy himself with a matter of his own this morning, and had already reported it to the competent leader Li Huai De by phone.

"Go to the Iron and Steel Institute."

Getting into the car, he said to the driver, and then asked, "Know how to go, right?"

"Know, leader."

The driver nodded and replied, drove the car out of the office area.

Li Xuewu went to the Iron and Steel Institute because he had received a notice from Han Laoshi that there was an exam today.

On the phone, Li Xuewu also wanted to ask about Han Laoshi's current situation, but hearing her tone, it didn't seem like there was any problem, so he didn't say much.

The situation at the Iron and Steel Institute should be relatively better. It was a professional institution and directly under the ministry, so the situation was relatively simple.

Anywhere could be chaotic, but industry couldn't be chaotic, because if industry was chaotic, the foundation of the workers would be gone.

Now what was being advocated was still the propaganda of workers and peasants as the main body.

The car entered the school gate. Li Xuewu looked and saw that this side was much more orderly than the Huaiqing side; at least the students in the school weren't running around chaotically.

Today was an exam again, so they should all be nervous. He looked and saw that the security environment on campus was okay.

Speaking of Huaiqing, Li Xuewu hadn't called Li Congyun and Wu Youqing all along.

There was nothing to ask about. Regarding the matter of older brother Xuewen, if the two had the ability, they definitely wouldn't stand by and watch.

But if they were powerless, and couldn't even make a warning phone call, Li Xuewu estimated that if he called now, it would just be adding trouble for them.

The situation now was still okay. Huaiqing didn't have Li Huai De, but it also had Zhang Huaide, Zhao Huai De—all were "bad ones"!

Just like what Li Xuewu said, the Security Division couldn't have thoughts, and even less could it participate in politics.

If Wu Youqing had other ideas, then his front would be fog, and after the fog would be an abyss.

Li Xuewu didn't have much contact with Wu Youqing, one was the training ground, the other was the First Detention Center.

If Wu Youqing had special ideas, Li Xuewu wasn't afraid either. The training ground belonged to the steel mill; if something happened, they wouldn't find him.

Besides, the training division wasn't the only one in the steel mill anymore. The cooperating units were becoming more and more complex. Who would dare to go up the mountain after hearing that long list of joint units?

Besides, the First Detention Center was even less of a problem. A printing factory—if they wanted to investigate you, they had to be able to get in.

They weren't in the same system. Huang Gan wanted to cut you off, he would cut you off; they wouldn't even let them touch a hair.

It was only because Li Xuewu was here, and there was a basis and relationship for cooperation, that the things inside that iron gate were still theirs.

In this world, some people pretend to be stupid, but no one really does stupid things.

Even if Wu Youqing had other ideas, he wouldn't dare to pull skin with Li Xuewu and Huang Gan.

Not in the same system, and still had to worry about the big pile of relationships behind the two—how many guts did he have?

Li Xuewu looked at the security guards of the Iron and Steel Institute, but what he was thinking about was whether Wu Youqing would have any trouble.

He judged that precisely because Wu Youqing didn't have special ideas, he couldn't reach out or exert force in older brother's matter.

From the motorcycle that chased him, Li Xuewu could see that Wu Youqing's Security Division must have had problems.

At least Han Jiankun "asked for directions" in their school entrance duty room for a whole night, and Wu Youqing didn't call, which meant his Security Division had lost control.

Li Xuewu could only wait now, wait for Li Congyun's call, or Wu Youqing's call.

The car arrived at the teaching building. Before getting out, Li Xuewu exhorted the driver to wait for him.

The driver was very steady, and Li Xuewu was also very satisfied, walking into the teaching building.

This side was quite lively, livelier than on campus.

On the third floor, Li Xuewu found the classroom according to the exam information Han Laoshi gave him.

At the corner of the classroom, Han Shu was talking to a "very bald" male comrade. Seeing Li Xuewu coming from the corridor, she waved.

Li Xuewu walked to Han Shu's front amidst the strange gazes of a group of young people in the corridor.

"Teacher."

First, he greeted Han Shu with a smile, then nodded to the middle-aged man who was sizing him up.

"Let me introduce you."

Han Shu gestured to the middle-aged man and said, "This is Vice Principal Pei of our school, specifically waiting here for you."

"Hello, Principal Pei."

Li Xuewu smiled, shook the hand the other party extended, and took the initiative to greet, "I am grateful for your wrong love, I am very grateful."

"Your Han Laoshi is being polite."

Pei Dayu smiled and shook hands with Li Xuewu, then said, "You are an excellent young cadre in our system, studying in our school, and have made actual contributions to our school. It is only natural for me to see you."

After speaking, he looked at Han Shu and said, "Li Xuewu is the first student in our school to receive a model worker medal, right?"

"Yes."

Han Shu smiled and nodded, then looked at Li Xuewu with satisfied eyes.

Li Xuewu also seemed to understand the meaning in Pei Dayu's words, smiled and said politely, "Some small achievements, not worth mentioning."

"'How can the water be so clear? Because there is a source of living water.'"

Li Xuewu wasn't influenced by Pei Dayu's words. A few polite words and praise weren't enough to make him lose his original heart.

"I actually hope to have more time in school to study more and learn from all the teachers."

"Rare."

Pei Dayu smiled and sighed, "Although young, the mind is clear. A rare young talent."

"You are too kind."

Han Shu stood on the side and said politely with a smile, "Even if the tree is beautiful in the forest, it needs more wind and rain. Do not hurt Zhong Yong, do not pull the seedlings to help them grow."

"Hahaha~"

Pei Dayu smiled and said, "I don't think so. At least I don't see any proud emotions in Comrade Li Xuewu."

After speaking, he turned to look at Han Shu and said, "Your teacher-student relationship is deep, you should care more and help more. If there is anything I can help with, don't be polite."

"Thank you, Teacher Pei."

Li Xuewu heard the way Pei Dayu addressed him, and also changed the way he addressed him.

When saying goodbye, he also shook hands and watched him go downstairs.

Being addressed as a comrade by Pei Dayu, one could see that he himself didn't treat Li Xuewu as an ordinary university student.

What Han Shu said, that Pei Dayu specifically waited for him here, was a bit exaggerated, but it was also a fact.

Li Xuewu couldn't see what his purpose was for the time being, but with Han Shu here, he wasn't afraid that the other party had any ideas.

Han Shu looked at Li Xuewu's deep gaze, knew what he was thinking, and reminded softly, "It represents the school's attitude, you should consider it."

"What else to consider?"

Li Xuewu looked at Han Shu and smiled, "With you here, what do I have to worry about? Just follow your arrangements."

"Hehe, if it were up to me, I'm afraid you would add many troubles again."

Han Shu chuckled, then looked out the window and said, "Being here, there are always places where I haven't considered thoroughly. You should think more yourself, and tell me directly if you have any ideas."

After speaking, she looked at Li Xuewu again and said, "Since he said so, if you need anything, don't be polite."

"Do I look like someone who is polite?"

Li Xuewu smiled slightly, then gestured to the classroom and said, "I'm going to take the exam."

Han Shu also looked at Li Xuewu walking into the classroom with a full face of smiles, just as confident and calm.

There were two exams in the morning, finished all at once. Perhaps afraid that if the time was long, the situation would change again, the Iron and Steel Institute was also rushing to complete the urgent matters.

As for whether they would have a holiday after the exam or arrange for the students to go for internships, it was unknown.

It seemed that university students here had more internship opportunities than students in comprehensive schools.

Including school factories, rural areas, outside factories, relevant government units, etc., assigned according to the situation.

It seemed that the setting of professional institutions like the Iron and Steel Institute was a bit similar to the junior colleges of later generations, junior college or technical secondary school, emphasizing more on applying what one has learned, the idea of combining theory with practice.

Li Xuewu studied management, which saved a lot of trouble, and no one notified him where to go for an internship. It was estimated that Han Shu had handled it for him.

Now he was famous among the school leaders, and didn't need to bear the responsibilities of ordinary students.

It seemed that this kind of student who didn't come for a semester and only came for the exam was estimated to be the only one in the whole school.

But this time, it seemed that even the leaders in the school began to pay attention to him, and acquiesced to this "willfulness" of his.

No way, the nature of Li Xuewu's work determined his specialty, and the halo on Li Xuewu also gave him privileges in some matters.

From the moment he walked into the classroom, the gazes of the students in the class all looked toward Li Xuewu.

Just now at the entrance, everyone saw Li Xuewu shaking hands and chatting with the department head and the vice principal, so no one would mistake him for a student again.

Although he still looked very young and as dashing as last year, no one would be stupid enough to think that someone who could chat and laugh with school leaders would be an ordinary person.

Even if this person walked into the classroom and sat in the examinee's seat, everyone still didn't dare to think about who he was and what his status was.

Only the class cadres in the class had seen Li Xuewu's name when doing organizational work, but it was just a name, with no other content.

But interested people could still find some clues, such as the new books added to the school library, which all had the words "donated by Li Xuewu" printed on them.

And in the humanities subjects, a book titled "Criminal Psychology" quietly appeared on the bookshelf. The author's name was the same as the name of those book donors, and it was also the same as the name of this mysterious classmate in the class.

If it was said to be the same name and surname, it was possible, but this classmate in the class was too maverick.

Not seen for a whole semester, not only not expelled, but also able to participate in the final exam on time.

This time, he was seen smiling and greeting Department Head Han in the department, and shaking hands and talking with the vice principal in the school.

Some people had discovered some astonishing secret, their big eyes staring at Li Xuewu, and their mouths were also wide open.

The class roster couldn't see the information, and the donated books in the library couldn't see the specific introduction, only that book, "Criminal Psychology," had a detailed introduction about the author.

And it was precisely because of some people's curiosity that they flipped through that book, which wasn't very popular in the library, and understood who this person named Li Xuewu was.

Combined with this mysterious classmate's dress and bearing, if there were no accidents, their classmate was actually...

My God!

Two exams, six sheets of paper, covering the knowledge that should be understood in management this semester.

Li Xuewu carefully reviewed the exam questions on the paper, but there weren't many questions, but there were a lot of subjective questions.

This was also a feature of this era, focusing more on cultivating students' personal thinking and abilities.

Compared to the "eight-legged essay" exams of later generations, Li Xuewu felt that this kind of current one could better stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning and exercise students' thinking ability.

A school should be a starter, not a printing press, and a teacher should be a person who inspires students to think, not an authority, a person who says whatever they say.

Students coming out of school should have their own thinking and ability to judge the nature of things, not parts coming out of a factory, all the same.

Education, the process of changing from "what do you want to learn" to "what do I want you to learn," is actually a regression.

Just look at how the term "university student" was tarnished by various degenerate phenomena in later generations to know how serious this regression was.

Sadly, even colored groups could be labeled as university students—is this a moral corruption or a distortion of human nature?

If they still insisted on the education Li Xuewu was currently in, I'm afraid there would be a few more masters, and they wouldn't be compared to those selling tea eggs and those building rockets.

Li Xuewu actually liked this current education model very much; at least the exam was very simple.

For him, objective questions were his weakness. Even if he took time at home and at the unit to learn the knowledge in the textbook, that was only the effort made in his spare time from work.

But in subjective questions, Li Xuewu's thinking ability, the angle and direction of looking at problems, couldn't be compared by these students in the ivory tower.

It was estimated that the grading teacher would also be surprised by the "alternative" of this exam paper.

Fortunately, the final exam in university was open grading, and his exam paper was estimated to be directly pulled out by Han Shu for separate judgment.

Last time his grades were just barely passing, and he was educated by Han Laoshi for a long time.

This time, it was estimated that Li Xuewu's grades would still be average; at least he hadn't learned anything from the teacher in class.

If everyone was like Li Xuewu, learning by themselves at home, then what were the teachers in the school for, and what was the school for?

During the break between the two exams, Li Xuewu ignored the concerned gazes of his classmates, walked out of the classroom, and stood in the corridor to light a cigarette.

This behavior of his was even more eye-catching: white short-sleeved shirt, straight and slim black trousers, polished black leather shoes, completely out of tune with the dress of the surrounding students.

Look at him daring to smoke in the corridor, and smoking Da Qianmen, using a lighter to light it...

Such things made this person as eye-catching as a crane in a flock of chickens in the corridor.

Li Xuewu didn't care about these; smoking was to relieve his nerves and also to facilitate his thinking about problems.

Including Pei Dayu's contact before the exam, including Han Laoshi's words.

"Classmate, we meet again."

Li Xuewu was thinking when someone greeted him beside him. Turning his head, it was a young man wearing glasses.

This young man smiled and said, "You really are my classmate, just too hard to meet."

As he spoke, seeing Li Xuewu sizing him up, he asked awkwardly, "You don't remember me? It was last time..."

"Classmate Zhou, right?"

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "This time you didn't take me for a teacher?"

"Hehe, you really remember."

Zhou Shusheng smiled embarrassedly and said, "I also remember you, how could I make such a mistake again."

Li Xuewu took out a cigarette from his pocket, gestured to him, and asked, "Smoke?"

"Smoke, I won't be polite with you this time."

Zhou Shusheng was also much more mature than last year. At least seeing Li Xuewu offer a cigarette, he didn't refuse again, nor did he say anything like "I dare not smoke such expensive cigarettes."

Taking Li Xuewu's lighter to light the cigarette, he took a vigorous puff, then smiled and said, "The taste of this Da Qianmen is a bit strong."

"It's okay, refreshing."

Li Xuewu smiled with pursed lips and reached out to flick the ash outside the window.

Zhou Shusheng stood beside Li Xuewu, puffing clouds and mist together, while also sizing up Li Xuewu.

"You've already started working?"

"Mm."

Li Xuewu nodded, his eyes continued to look out the window, and his answer to Zhou Shusheng's words was also particularly brief.

Zhou Shusheng, however, didn't mind, smoked and asked, "I saw your name in the library, and your book."

"Is that so?"

Li Xuewu took a puff of his cigarette, turned to look at Zhou Shusheng, and asked, "How is it? Any suggestions?"

"Hehe, you're joking."

Zhou Shusheng smiled lightly and said, "You are a capable person who can write books, how would I dare to give you suggestions."

"It's just that book of yours, I didn't quite understand it."

Speaking of this, Zhou Shusheng paused, looked at Li Xuewu, and continued to ask, "Are you studying psychology?"

"No, it was also guided by a friend."

Li Xuewu didn't hide anything from him, explained casually, "I'm doing security and public security work, I need this, so I studied it."

"Very professional."

Zhou Shusheng nodded and praised, "Although I don't quite understand it, people in related professions must need it very much, especially in their work."

"Mm, what about you?"

Li Xuewu sized up the young man in front of him again and asked, "Studying Marxism-Leninism, any ideas?"

"I don't have any ideas."

Zhou Shusheng was very humble, smiled and said, "Let's learn what the teacher taught first. I can't compare to you; I won't shake this half-bucket of water."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

After finishing the second exam, Li Xuewu didn't have time to hand in the paper early, writing the last word as the bell rang.

After handing in the paper to the teacher and walking out of the exam room, he suddenly felt much more relaxed, as if even the pressure he had been carrying for a while had been released.

Could it be that exams have the same effect as a big health care?

Walking downstairs with the students who had finished the exam, when walking out of the building door, he saw the driver standing by the command vehicle waiting for him.

The driver was also looking for Li Xuewu's figure. Seeing the Division Chief walk out, he waved.

Li Xuewu didn't make a scene, just nodded, indicating he had seen him.

When he walked to the car, the driver had already opened the car door for him.

"Thank you, I'll do it myself."

Saying to the driver, Li Xuewu got into the command vehicle and closed the car door.

The driver didn't mind the Division Chief's attitude, trotted to the driver's seat, and the command vehicle drove out of the school amidst a crowd of curious gazes.

"Who is that?"

"Don't know."

"You were just smoking with him earlier, how could you not know?"

"I just smoked a cigarette, I didn't do a household registration investigation."

Zhou Shusheng looked at his classmate and said, "At first glance, he's not an ordinary person, why ask about this?"

His classmate, however, was driven by curiosity, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Shusheng, you wouldn't be knowing something and want to eat alone, right?"

Another classmate leaned over and said, "I saw it before the exam. He knows Department Head Han in the department, and even shook hands with our Principal Pei."

"Shusheng, you're not being good like this..."

Everyone was talking at once. Seeing more and more people gathering, Zhou Shusheng also got annoyed, stared, and said, "If you want to ask, why didn't you ask when he was here just now?"

"I only have a cigarette's worth of friendship with him, I really don't know anything else."

After explaining, Zhou Shusheng gestured toward the cafeteria and said, "Quick, quick, I have to go eat, I've been hungry for a long time."

"Hey! Hey~"

Seeing Zhou Shusheng leave as if fleeing, everyone felt even more that this matter was strange. He must be some powerful person, and Zhou Shusheng wanted to climb the friendship alone.

And it seemed that those like Zhou Shusheng, who knew Li Xuewu's identity but didn't go to greet Li Xuewu, seeing Zhou Shusheng act like this, either curled their lips or smiled lightly.

Who said that the pure ivory tower was all peace and joy?

As soon as the command vehicle entered the steel mill's main gate, it was waved to a stop by the guard post. A duty officer trotted over, leaned close to the car window, and reported something to Li Xuewu.

When the command vehicle returned to the office area, downstairs of the security building, Li Xuewu saw many small cars and jeeps parked at the entrance of the main office building.

Looking at the license plates, they weren't from the factory. If they were from the factory, they wouldn't park at the building entrance.

He just took a look and didn't stop at the entrance, walking straight into the security building.

On this side, perhaps seeing his command vehicle enter the gate, Yu Decai was already waiting for him at the stairwell on the third floor.

"Division Chief, a working group has been sent from above, saying they are investigating the work of the steel mill in the recent period..."

Yu Decai's speaking speed was very fast, following Li Xuewu while walking toward the office, talking about the things that had happened in the factory all morning.

Sha Qizhi wasn't there, so these contents were what Li Xuewu needed to understand. Li Xuewu didn't agree to arrange a temporary secretary for him, so he could only go on stage himself.

Finishing the report on the working group's situation, arriving at the entrance of Li Xuewu's office, Yu Decai reported another situation: "Division Chief, someone from Huaiqing has come, they are in your office, accompanied by Director Xu."

"I know."

Li Xuewu opened the office door and walked in. The two people sitting on the sofa drinking tea looked over at the same time.

"Division Chief Li, you're back."

Xu Sinuian stood up with a smile, his eyes glancing toward the Huaiqing working group people who were here to question crimes and clearly had bad intentions.

Li Xuewu nodded at Xu Sinuian, handed the bag in his hand to Yu Decai who followed in, waved at Xu Sinuian, and gestured for him to sit down.

Then he looked at the Director Zhou who was sitting on the sofa without moving, whom he had seen when picking up his older brother at the Huaiqing office.

"Division Chief Li, this is Director Zhou of the Huaiqing working group, here to understand the situation from you."

Xu Sinuian didn't dare to sit down, his eyes moved slightly, and he introduced the person sitting on the sofa to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu also didn't sit down. Hearing Xu Sinuian's introduction, he nodded and said, "Met yesterday."

"Division Chief Li remembers, that's good."

Director Zhou narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Xuewu, while placing the teacup in his hand on the tea table, and said with a feminine tone, "Then, I suppose Division Chief Li also knows the purpose of my coming here, right?"

"Don't know."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, waved at Yu Decai, indicating he could go out, and walked to the sofa to sit down.

Then he gestured in the direction of Director Zhou and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, no need to hide your head and show your tail."

After speaking, regardless of Xu Sinuian's nervous expression and this Director Zhou's sharp gaze, he took out a cigarette and lit one for himself.

As Li Xuewu threw the cigarette box and lighter on the tea table, this Director Zhou also knew that he couldn't defeat Li Xuewu with sharp gazes, so he could only speak.

"Then please explain your actions yesterday, Division Chief Li."

Director Zhou raised his chin slightly, glanced at the steel mill office director Xu Sinuian, and said with a contemptuous tone, "A person in charge of the security division of a steel mill actually impersonated Xicheng public security, took people away from our school, and even dared to beat people."

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Xu Sinuian saw this Director Zhou look at him, and couldn't help but laugh bitterly, thinking: Why are you looking at me! It wasn't me who did it. Besides, you're really seeing something rare; this kind of thing doesn't seem very strange with Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu saw him say this, but raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there such a thing? Why don't I remember?"

"You!"

This Director Zhou was also seeing a deputy division-level cadre acting shamelessly for the first time, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at Li Xuewu, saying, "Deputy Division Chief Li, you wouldn't dare to do it but not dare to admit it, right?"

"You should think carefully before saying this."

Li Xuewu leaned forward, flicked the ash in the ashtray on the tea table, and said, "Did you hear with your own ears that I told you I was Xicheng public security?"

"..."

Director Zhou was speechless. This was what the student cadre told him, saying that Li Xuewu even showed him the document.

But if he wanted to say whether he really saw where Li Xuewu was from, or heard with his own ears where Li Xuewu was from, he really didn't dare to be serious about this, because there was still a person in between.

Calling those students to confront was a joke; who would believe that?

And Li Xuewu took a puff of his cigarette, looked at Director Zhou, and asked, "I went to school to pick up my older brother from work, this doesn't seem to be a mistake, right?"

"Or..."

Li Xuewu looked at this Director Zhou with hanging eyes and asked, "What are you trying to do by detaining my older brother?"

"Don't you spout nonsense!"

Director Zhou patted the sofa armrest with his hand, pointed at Li Xuewu and said, "Li Xuewen is a cadre of our school, a teacher of our school. As a member of the working group, I have the right to detain him and handle him."

"Oh, then what if he isn't?"

Li Xuewu asked amusedly the moment Director Zhou was stunned, "What if my older brother isn't a teacher in the school?"

"What?!"

Director Zhou also didn't understand what Li Xuewu meant, frowned and looked at Li Xuewu, saying, "Don't you change the concept, I am now talking to you about a very serious problem."

"Director Xu."

After finishing speaking with Li Xuewu, Director Zhou turned to look at Xu Sinuian and said, "I see that your steel mill also has a working group down here. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the working group to reflect the problem." ===== CHAPTER 665 =====

Li Xuewu leaned forward, flicked the ash into the ashtray on the coffee table, and said, "Did you hear me tell you myself that I am from the Xicheng Public Security?"

"..."

Director Zhou was speechless; it was the student cadre who had told him this, claiming that Li Xuewu had even shown him his credentials.

But if he were to say whether he had truly seen where Li Xuewu was from or heard Li Xuewu say it himself, he really didn't dare to be so certain, especially since there was another person between them.

Calling those students to confront him would be a joke; who would believe that?

Li Xuewu took a drag of his cigarette, looked at Director Zhou, and asked, "I went to the school to pick up my older brother after work; there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that, right?"

"Or is it..."

Li Xuewu squinted his eyes at this Director Zhou and asked, "What do you intend to do by detaining my older brother?"

"Don't you go spouting nonsense!"

Director Zhou slapped the armrest of the sofa with his hand, pointed at Li Xuewu, and said, "Li Xuewen is a cadre at our school and an instructor at our school. As a member of the working group, I have the right to detain him and handle him."

"Oh, and what if he isn't?"

Li Xuewu asked with amusement at the moment Director Zhou was stunned, "What if my older brother is not an instructor at the school?"

"What?!"

Director Zhou also didn't understand the meaning behind Li Xuewu's words; he frowned at Li Xuewu and said, "Don't try to evade the question. I am talking to you about a very serious matter right now."

"Director Xu,"

After finishing with Li Xuewu, Director Zhou turned his head to look at Xu Sinian and said, "I see that your Rolling Mill also has a working group that has come down. If this doesn't work, I will go to the working group to report the problem."
