Chapter 665: Gods Fighting

"No need, no need."

Xu Sinuian laughed dryly and waved his hand, "I see Division Chief Li is already explaining, right? Don't be anxious or angry, solve problems if there are problems."

He said this to Director Zhou, but his eyes were looking at Li Xuewu.

Xu Sinuian didn't believe Li Xuewu had no backup plan for this matter. This was urging Li Xuewu—if you don't slap his face now, when will you?

Li Xuewu also saw the meaning in Xu Sinuian's gaze, took a puff of his cigarette, didn't even look at Director Zhou, and said, "My older brother is a worker now."

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Director Zhou waved his hand with his chin horizontal and said, "I can't know what Li Xuewen's status is? Don't you try to swap concepts!"

"Whether it is or not, you'll know if you go ask yourself."

Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders, looked at Director Zhou with contempt, and said, "I also heard it from my older brother. Your school transferred him to the school factory long ago, it's just that some work hasn't been handed over yet."

Director Zhou looked at Li Xuewu, who didn't seem to be lying, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Who handled this matter? Why didn't I see this information in Li Xuewen's file?"

"I don't know about that."

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said, "This is Huaiqing's business. I'm not a Huaiqing cadre. I just went to pick up my older brother from work yesterday."

"And..."

Li Xuewu pointed at Director Zhou and said, "Don't mess up the address before determining my older brother's composition. You must call him comrade. In case my older brother is a worker, hehe~"

"Fine, I'll ask about the problem of Li Xuewen... comrade when I go back."

Director Zhou looked at Li Xuewu, who was extremely angry, but didn't dare to easily refute Li Xuewu, so he could only endure it and continue to ask, "Then what about Wu Shuping? Where did you take Wu Shuping!"

"Who?"

Li Xuewu asked pretending not to know, "Who is Wu Shuping?"

Xu Sinuian watched this Director Zhou being so angry that he rolled his eyes, and thought to himself: If you pull nonsense with Li Xuewu, he'll pull you to his grandmother's house!

Director Zhou also knew that Li Xuewu was pulling nonsense with him, but now that he was at Li Xuewu's place, he didn't dare to turn his face, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "It's the female comrade who walked with you yesterday."

"Oh, you're talking about her."

Li Xuewu shook his head when Director Zhou was staring and waiting for his reply, and said, "I really don't know about this. She followed my older brother out herself, I don't know her at all."

"Then where is she!"

Director Zhou didn't want to pull anything else with Li Xuewu now, and had no patience, asking directly about Wu Shuping.

"Where is she?"

"Don't know."

Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders, looked at Director Zhou, and said frankly, "You saw it yourself at the time, she followed my older brother out, and later it was my older brother who arranged for her. I don't know her at all."

"Please have some tea."

Xu Sinuian saw Director Zhou almost pass out from Li Xuewu's words, and hurriedly gestured to the tea on the tea table.

Director Zhou endured a mouthful of old blood in his mouth for a long time, and it took a long time to swallow this breath. He nodded, and regardless of Xu Sinuian's politeness, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Fine, then tell me where your older brother is."

"Division Chief Li!"

Xu Sinuian turned his head, looked at Li Xuewu, and advised, "Look, Director Zhou came from so far away, and is asking about Huaiqing's business. Look, you've explained it, if it's convenient, communicate well with Director Zhou!"

After speaking, he said to Director Zhou, "You also calm down, communicate slowly if there are problems. I see Division Chief Li isn't hiding anything, speak well."

"Fine, one thing at a time."

Director Zhou was advised by Xu Sinuian, nodded, and said, "We'll discuss your older brother's matter slowly when we go back. Now I'm asking about Wu Shuping's matter. You, Division Chief Li, said you don't know, then tell me your older brother's address, I'll go ask him myself."

After speaking, he looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Division Chief Li, you wouldn't tell me you don't know where your older brother is, right?"

"I certainly know where my older brother is."

Li Xuewu nodded and said very frankly, "There's nothing to keep secret about this. He's just an ordinary worker. It's only right for you to find him."

"Then good, let's speak calmly."

Director Zhou saw Li Xuewu was cooperative, breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Say it, I'll go ask him, it has nothing to do with you."

"Mm."

Li Xuewu took a puff of his cigarette, glanced at Xu Sinuian, and then said to Director Zhou, "My older brother is at the Dongcheng First Detention Center."

"You!"

Hearing Li Xuewu say this, Director Zhou stood up abruptly, his body swayed, his hands trembled with anger, and he pointed at Li Xuewu, gritting his teeth and saying, "You are bullying people too much!"

"Director Zhou, Director Zhou~"

Xu Sinuian also stood up, supported Director Zhou, and advised, "Look, you're anxious again. You have to let Division Chief Li finish speaking!"

"Fine, you speak."

Director Zhou stared with wide eyes, his lips trembling, and said, "I'll see how you explain it!"

Xu Sinuian kept winking at Li Xuewu, advising Li Xuewu to slap his face if he wanted to, don't wait any longer, or this old guy would hang himself at your place.

Li Xuewu also raised his chin slightly and said, "My older brother is indeed at the First Detention Center. He is working over there."

"Really!?"

Director Zhou was full of suspicion, looked at Li Xuewu vigorously, as if he could see some answer from Li Xuewu's face.

Xu Sinuian, standing on the side, saw this Director Zhou actually ask this, and advised softly, but muttered in his heart: You believe Li Xuewu's words? You won't even be able to put on your pants by the time you die.

Li Xuewu, however, spread his hands with a full face of seriousness and didn't answer this question, because he had said everything he should have said.

Watching the two of them about to argue, Xu Sinuian advised softly, "Division Chief Li won't lie. I still understand him; he's a person who speaks the truth."

After speaking, seeing Director Zhou not speaking, just standing there angry, he continued to advise, "Anyway, the person is right there, you can go find him and ask."

Director Zhou turned his head abruptly, stared at Xu Sinuian, and moved his cheeks. Clearly, he was still enduring it.

He had a curse he couldn't say, but he wanted to ask Xu Sinuian: You come to the steel mill to see your Division Chief Li and it's this kind of attitude; if you go to the First Detention Center, wouldn't you be embarrassed to death?

Besides, it was obvious that Li Xuewu had arranged for people to go there to protect them. What would it count as if he went?

Delivering himself to the door? Throwing himself into the net?

He almost got beaten at school. If something unexpected happened over there, wouldn't it be very normal?

Director Zhou stared at Xu Sinuian for a while, thinking in his heart: I knew this Xu Sinuian was the same as Li Xuewu, both were people in the steel mill, protecting each other, neither was a good cookie.

Want him to go to the First Detention Center?

Grandmother!

"Fine, Wu Shuping's matter is put aside for now."

Director Zhou turned to look at Li Xuewu, and regardless of Xu Sinuian's advice, stood there and asked Li Xuewu, "What about the beating? You won't deny this, right!"

"Beating? Who beat whom? Who was beaten?"

Li Xuewu also stood up, raised his eyebrows, and questioned, "Hey, you have to make it clear today. Director Xu knows, I, Li Xuewu, have always convinced people with reason, and have never taken action!"

"Hey hey, what are you doing?"

Xu Sinuian saw Li Xuewu stand up tall, a head taller than this Director Zhou, and the condescension was quite obvious.

Plus the momentum of Li Xuewu staring, he hurriedly pretended to block in the middle, as if he was really afraid that Li Xuewu would take action.

Director Zhou saw Xu Sinuian blocking like this, and felt a bit timid in his heart. Before coming, he had inquired that this Deputy Division Chief was the most capable middle-level cadre in Xicheng, or even Si Jiu City.

It wasn't to say how high Li Xuewu's martial arts were, nor how many people he had beaten, but his achievements and results were the most capable—not many, but very outstanding.

Especially paired with the scar on his face and this one-meter-eight-plus height, staring was truly scary.

"I said it very clearly!"

Director Zhou stood behind Xu Sinuian, jumping with his feet and pointing at Li Xuewu, saying, "It was you who beat them. Little Zhou was beaten by your driver, and security guard Driver Xiao Liu and the others were beaten by your driver and your secretary. I said it!"

"Driver? Secretary?"

Xu Sinuian blocked between the two, winked at Li Xuewu, and asked, "Yeah, where did your driver and secretary go?"

"He is spouting nonsense!"

Li Xuewu stared and said, "Why didn't I see them beat anyone? Yesterday, the frontier office called, saying there was work, and asked me to go over and see. I didn't have time, so I let them go."

"Hey~ Isn't this a coincidence~"

Xu Sinuian turned around, looked at Director Zhou with a smile, and said, "Yeah, it looks like it's all a misunderstanding. If you're not in a hurry, wait until they come back and talk about it."

After speaking, he straightened his body and said, "If you're in a hurry, you can go to our frontier office to find them and ask. We will definitely cooperate."

"You! You are all in the same gang!"

Director Zhou pointed at Xu Sinuian, then pointed at Li Xuewu, and said, "Sending me to the frontier with one pole, you guys are awesome!"

After speaking, regardless of Xu Sinuian's politeness, he avoided Li Xuewu and walked out of the office in a hurry.

Seeing the office door slammed shut, and the angry footsteps coming from the corridor, Xu Sinuian quietly followed a few steps to the office entrance and looked out.

"Hey, he really left."

Xu Sinuian turned around, pointed at Li Xuewu in the room, and laughed evilly, "You're really damaging enough!"

"Hahahaha~"

"Hahahahaha~"

The two pointed at each other, thinking of the angry and helpless look of this Director Zhou, and both laughed out loud.

To say about being bad, Xu Sinuian wouldn't do it to people in the factory; he had to leave some face.

He was different from Li Xuewu; he felt he had a bottom line.

And Li Xuewu was different; he was bad to everyone the same, regardless of whether you were inside or outside.

The one who came today was here to be arrogant. Xu Sinuian chatted with him for a while and had long looked down on him.

As soon as Li Xuewu entered the room and said a few words, he knew that he was the one playing the straight man today.

You see, he was also not a human being when he was bad.

Xu Sinuian walked to the window and looked down with interest, saying, "He really took himself for a scallion. What kind of working group is so arrogant!"

After speaking, he turned to Li Xuewu and raised his eyebrows, "You shouldn't have kept him. When I blocked you, didn't I give you a space? Slap him!"

"Why didn't you slap him?"

Li Xuewu rolled his eyes and said, "So you're just watching the excitement and not afraid of big things, right? If I slapped him, wouldn't I be getting into a struggle with my older brother's matter?"

"What you said is also true."

Xu Sinuian put his hands in his pockets, walked back to sit in front of Li Xuewu's desk, looked at Li Xuewu sitting opposite, and asked, "Is your older brother settled?"

"This is also good."

Xu Sinuian nodded and said, "You don't take him seriously either. He just came here to show his teeth, so he can report back. If he says you are powerful, he won't have the responsibility of letting people go. After the fact, he won't dare to provoke you either. He's just here to talk nonsense."

Li Xuewu smiled, took a cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it, then threw it to the opposite side and said, "It's just that the acting is a bit poor. These people in the school are still less trained."

"Tsk~ tsk~ tsk~"

Xu Sinuian lit his own cigarette while curling his lips and said, "You still have the heart to talk about others. Look at the youthful success, arrogance, and self-importance you just acted out—it was too fake."

"Hey!"

Xu Sinuian took a puff of his cigarette, raised his chin at Li Xuewu and asked, "Are you really twenty years old? I think you are more profound than my father."

Li Xuewu looked at Xu Sinuian in a dilemma, hesitated and asked, "Then should I call you Uncle in the future?"

"Go to your grandfather, hahahaha~"

After teasing like this, he couldn't help but laugh himself.

Just laughing on his face, his eyes were sizing up Li Xuewu. Everyone acted very seriously in this scene just now, but Li Xuewu didn't look like it.

People Director Zhou came with "sincerity," just waiting for Li Xuewu to make up a story to brush it off. He didn't expect Li Xuewu to perform a "self-soiling" act.

Look at how disgusted Director Zhou was. He came to wash away his own trouble, but didn't expect to be a foil for Li Xuewu.

This is good now. He not only has to help Li Xuewu build an image when he goes back, but he himself is also hooked up with Li Xuewu. This matter must be handled well for Li Xuewen, otherwise, wouldn't it be like not wiping his butt clean?

Isn't this bullying an honest person!

People were beaten by you, two people were taken away by you, and you slapped people's faces when they went out. Now you let people wipe your butt for you—how shameless!

Xu Sinuian thought very clearly and saw very clearly. Li Xuewu was just bullying people who didn't dare to come hard with him, didn't dare to come for real.

You came to question crimes, right? Fine, I'll give you a show of "using the virtual to be real, using the real to be virtual," using my youthful vigor to exchange for your anger and helplessness.

Since you've investigated here, you can't just wipe it clean. When you go back, you have to say Li Xuewen left his post and was directly fired, right? Otherwise, how can you show your helplessness of not bringing anything back?

Then if you say his younger brother is so unreasonable, so arrogant and unreasonable, wouldn't that show how hard it was for you to retreat unscathed after meeting such a stubble?

Hey! After saying this, wouldn't everyone have to think about it—Director Zhou has worked hard, and it's rare to be able to retreat unscathed after meeting such a stubble.

Conversely, Li Xuewen's matter... ah?... wouldn't everyone have to think about their own wives and children at home, right?

Politics, after all, people have avoided the sharp edge and hid in the detention center to reflect and reform.

Killing people doesn't go beyond the head, right? Just treat it as Comrade Li Xuewen apologizing with a thorn on his back and self-punishing.

Such a light-hearted handling, no matter who it is, can't say it's wrong.

If you are not convinced, you can go to the First Detention Center and see!

Anyway, Director Zhou has seen it. The living environment is so miserable.

Description, Director Zhou is still willing to carry this pot, although he hasn't really seen it, he still understands the days in the Zhazidong.

Regardless, Li Xuewu buckled the spoon on his head, couldn't shake it off, and could only pinch his nose and handle it.

He had no choice but two options. Besides doing this, the other was to top Li Xuewu, report it, make it big, find Li Xuewen, find Wu Shuping, and handle it seriously.

Then what?

Li Xuewu is fine, just wait for his revenge later.

Do you think he's stupid? He's also working, he wouldn't be such a stupid camel.

So Xu Sinuian saw this Director Zhou come and go very clearly, didn't worry at all, and cooperated with Li Xuewu to perform the play.

To say the most stubborn one is this Director Zhou. He came with a script, but people here didn't act according to it at all.

When he went out, he was angry, nothing more than being angry that Li Xuewu caused him trouble, and it had nothing to do with not finding Li Xuewen and the assailant; he wasn't the one who was beaten.

At this moment, Xu Sinuian took a puff of his cigarette, looked at Li Xuewu with a smile, and asked, "Heard about it? A working group has also come to our factory."

"Mm, saw the car."

Li Xuewu nodded and asked, "What's the situation?"

"Sent from above, saying there are many things in our factory recently, heh~"

Xu Sinuian sneered, then said, "A deputy director led the team to organize and rectify the political order of our factory, leading our factory to carry out university study and major discussion work."

"That's not bad."

Li Xuewu twisted his mouth, took a puff of his cigarette, and said with drooping eyelids while organizing the documents in front of him, "You wouldn't think our factory is doing this work well, right?"

Xu Sinuian was silent for a while after hearing Li Xuewu's words, took a few puffs of his cigarette, and then continued, "Mm, everything has to be looked at separately, right?"

After speaking, he frowned himself and said, "But this matter is still not quite right, at least it caught the factory director off guard."

"Off guard? Used the wrong word~"

Li Xuewu glanced at Xu Sinuian and hummed, "This isn't something he knew long ago."

"No, not quite the same."

Xu Sinuian also smiled bitterly and said, "His expression doesn't look like it was deliberately made up. Whether it is or not, I can tell, it was really unexpected."

"Is it the time of the unexpected arrival, or the people who came?"

Li Xuewu raised his head to look at the office building opposite, then turned back to look at Xu Sinuian and said, "Or is it that the person he was waiting for didn't come, didn't bring what he wanted?"

Xu Sinuian pursed his lips and was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "This matter is still relatively complex. He also wanted to achieve success in one battle. Since the problem couldn't be solved in the factory, it was better to hand it over to someone who could solve it."

"Is it complex?"

Li Xuewu looked at Xu Sinuian with a gloomy face, paused for a few seconds, then said with contempt, lowering his head to continue organizing documents, "Better to give to outsiders than to domestic slaves, right."

"You thought wrong."

Xu Sinuian took a puff of his cigarette, frowned vigorously, thought for a while, and explained, "Our factory's own strength ultimately couldn't solve the problem in a short time. The most important financial problem still needs support from above."

"Mm, you're right."

Li Xuewu unscrewed the fountain pen in his hand, looked at the document with his head lowered, and asked, "Then what caused this situation? Is it the financial pressure that has existed for a long time, or is it something he made up himself?"

After speaking, he took the pen and wrote something on the document, and continued, "He must have thought of this day long ago, just playing micro-manipulation, didn't control it well."

This made Xu Sinuian silent, not knowing how to answer and explain.

Li Xuewu's words were a bit damaging, but the truth was still hitting the nail on the head.

To put it bluntly, Factory Director Yang didn't get the support he should have gotten this time; he really didn't control it well.

He relied too much on the words from above, and also trusted the people above too much.

This passivity wasn't the first time. Xu Sinuian himself knew that according to Factory Director Yang's temper, there would be many more times in the future.

Li Xuewu saw Xu Sinuian not speaking, reviewed the document, and then continued, "He neither has the great talent and bold vision of Old Chiang, nor does he have the thousands of troops and horses of others. What kind of micro-manipulation is he playing~"

"Then what if it were you?"

Xu Sinuian looked up at Li Xuewu, his expression stagnant, and asked, "If you were in his position, what would you do?"

"Me? Hehe~"

Li Xuewu chuckled, shook his head slightly, and didn't answer this question.

Xu Sinuian didn't get Li Xuewu's answer, but he had already seen Li Xuewu's answer.

And just by Li Xuewu's expression now, it was more contemptuous and arrogant than if he had spoken and answered.

Of course, it couldn't be said that Xu Sinuian believed Li Xuewu had any great talent and bold vision, could command thousands of troops and horses, or easily settle the mess of the steel mill.

It could only be said that he believed in Li Xuewu's character, believed in his firm and decisive heart.

He had also thought before, if someone else sat in Yang Fengshan's position, whether he could still allow someone like Li Huai De to challenge his authority time and time again.

He didn't know about others, but if it were Li Xuewu, Li Huai De's grave grass would be able to feed cows.

"Division Chief, the meal Driver Xiao Liu sent up."

Yu Decai carried three lunch boxes in and reminded him when he saw Xu Sinuian was still there.

"Put it there, I'll eat in a while."

Li Xuewu didn't raise his head, replied to Yu Decai, and continued to busy himself with his work.

Xu Sinuian took a puff of his cigarette, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Didn't even eat lunch?"

"Went to take an exam."

Li Xuewu raised his head, picked up the cigarette on the ashtray, took the last puff, and pressed it into the ashtray.

"You know me, a bunch of broken things. Today is the final exam for this semester."

"Humph hum~"

After saying this, Li Xuewu also hummed helplessly and said, "I really have no choice. A semester has passed, I don't know the teacher, and the teacher hasn't seen me. This university is awesome~"

"Hahaha~"

Xu Sinuian stood up, smiled, and said, "Fine, won't delay your meal."

Seeing Li Xuewu stand up to send him off, he waved his hand, indicating Li Xuewu not to be polite and eat first.

Just walking two steps, he turned back to see Li Xuewu waving to gesture for Yu Decai to send him off, and knew that this person wouldn't be short of any etiquette at all.

Yu Decai sent Xu Sinuian back and walked to Li Xuewu's office, replying, "Director Xu is really righteous, he actually dragged that Director Zhou for a whole morning here, and didn't let him see anyone else."

Li Xuewu sat on the sofa, nodded, took the chopsticks and gestured to the lunch box, asking, "The food in the cafeteria is so hard today?"

"I don't know about that."

Yu Decai was refilling hot water for Li Xuewu's teacup, turned his head and glanced. Good fellow, the two lunch boxes were full of hard dishes.

Don't ask, it must be a small stove opened by the reception center. Ask around the whole steel mill, who has this condition?

Besides the leading cadres above the deputy factory level, only their Division Chief could have this face at the reception center.

Placing the teacup by Li Xuewu's hand, looking at the four-joy meatballs, shredded meat, old vinegar peanuts, and shredded potatoes in the lunch box, he wondered when he would be able to mix up four dishes.

Li Xuewu waved his hand and asked Yu Decai, "Sit down, eat some."

"I've eaten."

Yu Decai waved his hand repeatedly, politely declining the steamed bun in Li Xuewu's hand.

Li Xuewu, however, pulled him to sit on the side and stuffed a steamed bun into Yu Decai's hand.

"Do you take me for a big-bellied man? If there's so much, wouldn't it be a waste? Eat some even if you've eaten."

As he spoke, he went to the tea cabinet to find a pair of chopsticks for Yu Decai.

Yu Decai was embarrassed and wanted to stand up, but was again gestured by Li Xuewu to sit down.

After handing the chopsticks to Yu Decai, Li Xuewu sat on the side and moved the dishes toward the middle of the two.

"Tell you something."

Li Xuewu ate while gesturing for Yu Decai to use his chopsticks, and said, "Starting this month, strictly grasp the development of university study and major discussion activities, must write the articles hard, and promote them well."

As he spoke, he gestured to the building opposite and exhorted in a low voice, "Especially when facing them, know that?"

"Understood."

Yu Decai saw Li Xuewu winking at him, nodded and replied, "I'll arrange for the cadres in the section to work on this work later."

"Not enough."

Li Xuewu crossed his eyes and exhorted in a low voice, "You must mobilize all the young people in the whole division who have 'ideas' and 'thoughts' to join in."

Yu Decai heard the Division Chief emphasize the tone on the two words "ideas" and "thoughts," and knew what was going on.

"Then... form a special class?"

"Mm, this idea is right."

Li Xuewu blinked his eyes and said, "Talk about composition, talk about politics, talk about learning, talk about progress, talk about improvement."

After speaking, he pointed at the steamed bun in his hand with his chopsticks and said, "Set benchmarks, set typical examples—I don't need to tell you this set, you also understand."

"The key is outward and inward, upward and downward."

Li Xuewu looked at Yu Decai and emphasized, "Outward, this special class must be a business card of our section, representing the excellent image of our section in the university study activity."

"Inward, this special class must be the core and eternal representative of youth university study and all-staff major discussion, and must be the pioneer of our section in pursuing continuous progress in this activity."

"Upward, this is a perfect answer sheet handed over by our section to the leaders and the organization, which is to reflect the excellent role played by the leaders in this activity and reflect the advanced level of their leadership in the security division."

"Downward, this special class will always be a manifestation and stage for young people and young cadres in the section to show themselves and realize their self-worth, and it is an advanced initiative for us to cultivate reserve talents and cadres."

"Understood."

Yu Decai's admiring gaze was very in place, and his understanding was also very in place. In his heart, he was shocked by Li Xuewu's solid theoretical foundation and political sensitivity.

The working group had just arrived, and Li Xuewu had already prepared the response policy, giving a perfect explanation to the superiors and subordinates, inside and outside, while stabilizing the good situation of the security division.

After being organized by Li Xuewu like this, the security division was really impenetrable.

Conversely, this special class also had benefits for Li Xuewu, solving the problem that had been stuck in the security division—how to ensure the stable operation of the security division without being affected

"Upward, this is a report card submitted by our office to the leadership and the organization. It is meant to reflect the excellent role played by the leaders in this activity and demonstrate their advanced level in leading the Security Division's work."

"Downward, this special task force will always be a manifestation and stage for young people and young cadres in the office to showcase themselves and realize their self-worth; it is even more of an advanced initiative for us to cultivate reserve talent and cadres."

"Understood."

Yu Decai's look of admiration was spot on, and his understanding was also spot on. In his heart, he was even more shocked by Li Xuewu's solid theoretical foundation and political sensitivity.

The working group had just arrived, and Li Xuewu had already prepared response policies, giving a perfect account to those above and below, inside and out, while stabilizing the excellent situation of the Security Division.

With Li Xuewu managing the Security Division like this, it really was impenetrable, like a needle that couldn't be inserted and water that couldn't be splashed in.

Conversely, this special task force also had benefits for Li Xuewu, solving a problem that had always been stuck in the Security Division: how to ensure the stable operation of the Security Division without being affected by special activities.

Yu Decai knew that Li Xuewu letting him develop such a special task force throughout the division wasn't about picking people for advancement, but about selecting people to kick out.

Rather than letting unstable factors and young people with active minds mess around in the office, it was better to concentrate them and let them cause trouble together.

Anyway, if they were going to rot, let them rot in that pile. When the time came, he would find a reason to kick them away with one foot.

Yu Decai had a deep understanding of Li Xuewu's ruthlessness. Now, he didn't just feel sad for those activists; he felt even more regret for their future.

In government agencies, at any time, being low-key, introverted, steady, and cautious are all advantages and ways to protect oneself.

Those young people who believe whatever they hear and treat every spark as a firecracker deserve to be used and deserve to be the scapegoats.

If you think about it, can you blame Li Xuewu for digging a pit to bury people?

It's still because their own internal skills weren't practiced well, their temperament wasn't cultivated, and they didn't have a firm heart.

Accompanying Li Xuewu for this meal, Yu Decai heard a lot and thought a lot. It couldn't be said that it was tasteless, but he didn't remember the taste of the four dishes he had initially envied.

What he remembered was the work Li Xuewu had entrusted to him, as well as those core ideas.

In the afternoon, Li Xuewu was indeed called over to talk to the working group.

There were six people in total: one deputy director, one division chief, one deputy division chief, and three staff members.

They were very polite when talking to Li Xuewu. After all, he was such a young Security Division cadre, and they had understood Li Xuewu's background and identity, especially the medal he had just received last month.

Li Xuewu was considered a celebrity in the system, especially Li Xuewu's articles, which were considered top-tier in the industrial system.

He grasped the core ideas very well and very accurately. Most of his articles described grassroots cadres and frontline personnel, showcasing the demeanor of contemporary grassroots workers.

These articles also indirectly reflected the character and traits of Li Xuewu as a person.

He didn't covet credit, understood dedication, followed principles, and had ability.

Such a cadre was a hot commodity wherever he went, especially since the working group had just arrived and needed to grasp this key department, the Security Division.

Although they didn't need to worry about their own authority, the nature and needs of the work itself required the Security Division to cooperate with the working group.

The final part of the conversation with Li Xuewu was also about this content. Earlier, they expressed appreciation and trust in Li Xuewu, and finally, they hoped that the Security Division would actively cooperate with the working group's work during their time at the Rolling Mill.

If you want to talk about playing games, who could play them better than Li Xuewu?

Since they had already said so, wouldn't Li Xuewu just follow the lead?

At the end of the conversation, Li Xuewu also guaranteed that he would actively cooperate with the working group to complete the phased tasks, and would strictly observe discipline and maintain an excellent style...

People in the factory knew his routine, and there was no one left who fell for it, but the people in the working group didn't know. They were very happy to see Li Xuewu's stance.

Heh, they were also blind. Listening to Li Xuewu's guarantees and stance, they treated Li Xuewu like a fool, thinking he was young and that after a few words about the organization, his blood would rush to his head.

When Li Xuewu went out, the six people inside the door were full of arrogance and light laughter, while Li Xuewu outside the door muttered in his heart: "Idiots."

"Finished talking? Come to my place for a moment."

Li Xuewu had just come out and hadn't had time to express his mockery of the idiots inside when he saw Gu Weijie walking over.

She also had a fiery personality; she just greeted Li Xuewu and headed to the office.

Li Xuewu twitched the corner of his mouth, muttering in his heart that he really couldn't come to this main office building anymore.

He didn't want to see Gu Weijie right now, but since they had already run into each other, he couldn't just pretend he didn't see her, could he?

So he had no choice but to follow Gu Weijie to her deputy secretary office.

"Leader, you weren't just squatting there waiting for me, were you?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, smiled at Gu Weijie's secretary, signaled that there was no need to make tea, and then sat in front of the desk following Gu Weijie's gesture, saying, "How is it such a coincidence~"

Gu Weijie's secretary was also used to Li Xuewu's "presumptuousness" toward these deputy factory directors and factory directors. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it, because these leaders didn't think there was anything bad about it.

Besides, didn't this also prove that Deputy Division Chief Li had a very good relationship with all the leaders?

At least with Deputy Secretary Gu, the secretary felt that the relationship between the two was still quite good.

He had once heard Deputy Secretary Gu call Deputy Division Chief Li on the phone and curse him out.

These were all trivial matters between leaders, and he would never go out and talk about them, but he couldn't help but think about it at this time.

"There are plenty of coincidences, why are you the strange one?"

Gu Weijie glanced at him, and seeing the secretary go out, she asked Li Xuewu, "Are they trying to win you over? Or are they vetting you?"

"Both, I suppose."

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "They're treating me like a hot-blooded young man."

"Heh~"

Gu Weijie sneered and said, "A weasel wishing a chicken a Happy New Year; you've met a little fox."

"Hiss~ Hey, I say Deputy Secretary Gu, I didn't provoke you, did I!"

Li Xuewu squinted his eyes and said amusingly, "You're using me as a punching bag here."

"What? Do you have an opinion?"

Gu Weijie was quite good at being unreasonable. She glanced at Li Xuewu and said, "You didn't provoke me, but why are you avoiding me?"

"Look! It's not that I have an opinion about you; it's that you have an opinion about me~"

Li Xuewu said with a smile, "Fine, go ahead and criticize. Who told you that an official one level higher crushes people to death?"

"Li Xuewu, you have to have a conscience when you speak."

Gu Weijie smiled, picked up the fountain pen at hand, and made a gesture to hit Li Xuewu, while scolding, "I was defending you at the committee meeting in vain; it turns out you are an ungrateful person."

"See? An official has two mouths; they can say whatever they want."

Li Xuewu said with a look of resignation, "You can say whatever you want, but one thing: I wasn't intentionally avoiding you. You've seen how busy I am."

As he spoke, he tilted his face toward the direction of the factory director's office, full of helplessness.

Gu Weijie also put away the joking, held the fountain pen in her hand, and said, "The development of this matter to this point is truly inappropriate. The loss of both sides is secondary; the key is that everyone in the factory has been put in a passive position."

"It is not my wish~"

Li Xuewu tilted his chin and said, "What did I say earlier? When they are together, they will eventually reach this step. Who does it benefit?"

"Who does it benefit? No one should expect to get anything good."

Gu Weijie helplessly put down the fountain pen in her hand and said, "The pit he dug, he can fill it himself now. It will take more than a dozen people to fill these people's stomachs."

"If it really kicks off, it might be another round of tossing and turning. The Rolling Mill will definitely be in chaos."

"It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send one away."

Gu Weijie looked out the window and said, "I know the character of these people best. The ones from the Steel Institute haven't been sent away yet. Let's see how he fills the pit."

"This has nothing to do with me."

Li Xuewu said with a serious face, "For what needs to be cooperated with, bring the paperwork. As long as it complies with the procedures, the Security Division will act according to the rules."

After finishing, he signaled toward the factory office and said, "When gods fight, I, this little ghost, have no intention of participating. Just don't hit me."

"You say it lightly."

Gu Weijie frowned and said, "I don't believe you can escape. This matter is not that simple. Let's see what the working group intends first."

The two of them had nothing to say; they were natural allies. Even if Li Xuewu played around in a sloppy way, he could still handle critical matters.

The main thing was that now Gu Weijie and Li Xuewu had no conflict of interest with Dong Wenxue, nor did they have any ideological contradictions.

Li Xuewu was also happy to have his own voice and his own receiver in the factory party group.

The most critical thing was that Gu Weijie came from the Steel Institute, so the two of them were now considered to be from the same school.

In the workplace, this meant they were natural comrades-in-arms, and even more so, comrades-in-arms with a foundation for cooperation.

Li Xuewu tapped Gu Weijie's desk, looked at Gu Weijie seriously, and said, "I'll make a bet with you: the factory director will regret it, but Deputy Factory Director Li won't."

"Why?"

Gu Weijie frowned and asked, "In this situation, does he still dare to confront the working group? Does he dare to cause trouble at this time?"

"He wouldn't dare openly, but what about secretly?"
