Chapter 685: Director Xu is a Bastard

"Old Ma came to see me last week."

At the tea table after dinner, Father Lou took a sip from his teacup and continued, "Asked me what I'm doing now, hehe."

"Is it the one you asked about last time?"

Li Xuewu took the teacup Lou Jie handed him and asked a question. He still had some impression of this person.

He had ability in doing business and was also quite amiable, but in the current general situation, he didn't see things very clearly and thought more about old-fashioned things.

It wasn't that there hadn't been such chaos before. Their response method was more about hiding valuable property like gold and silver.

Either burying it underground, hiding it in civilian houses, or taking it away.

Last month, this person surnamed Ma came to see Father Lou, wanting to seek channels to hide money. Father Lou didn't tell him.

Since the last attempt to probe whether there was an intention to invest was rejected by the other party, Father Lou didn't have any discussion with him on the issue of money.

He even avoided the ongoing plan, and Lou Jie's learning on his side also decreased.

"It's Uncle Ma. Uncle Zhang also came to ask."

Lou Jie sat on the side and explained, "He came to the house to find my father. Seeing only my mother at home, he asked a question, and only then did he know my father had come here to work."

"Oh, oh."

Li Xuewu raised an eyebrow and said, "Is his problem handled?"

"Not handled well, how to handle it!"

Lou Jie twitched the corner of her mouth and explained, "Even if the floating wealth is hidden, how are those real estate properties counted? And there are cars, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, furniture, etc. That's the big part."

"My mother didn't ask in detail, and I thought about it myself."

Lou Jie took the teapot and refilled Li Xuewu's hot tea, saying, "Anyway, I thought, they can't dig holes and bury all those things. Burying them anywhere is a problem. Can they sleep at night!"

Father Lou frowned slightly at his daughter, then lowered his head to drink a sip of hot tea, looked at Li Xuewu, and asked, "How is the house on the mountain being built?"

"The big frame should be no problem."

Li Xuewu moved the teacup at his hand, pointed at the tea water on the table to show Father Lou the terrain, and said, "Your families are all next to each other on the hillside behind the training ground, backed by the big mountain. They are all tile-roofed houses, with the same regulations, quite enough to use."

"Good, good, that's good."

Father Lou nodded and said, "Build it early, and we'll move over early."

As he spoke, he sighed, "It's messy in the city, and staying here isn't comfortable either."

"You also know about the materials on the mountain. It will take a while to finish cleaning everything up."

Li Xuewu explained, "It's not just building these civilian houses for you; we also have to build base stations, including setting up communication antennas and such. The project is still relatively large. Wait a while first."

"If it really doesn't work, just move here to stay temporarily. Compared to living at home, it's safer."

"Let's see first. Too lazy to toss about."

Father Lou frowned slightly and said a sentence, then looked at his daughter again and said, "Mentioning Old Ma just now, I remembered this. Isn't your Uncle Ma's family like this? Isn't our family the same?"

"Didn't I tell you already?"

Lou Jie said indifferently, "If he tells you to leave, you leave. After you leave, he'll help you clean up. Do you really think those pieces of junk of yours are still valuable now?"

After finishing, she explained to Li Xuewu, "Uncle Ma said that the prices of antiques on the market have jumped into the sea. Not to mention whether they can be sold, even these prices can't be said accurately. Whatever price is called, there is one."

"Are they so anxious they've started selling antiques?"

Li Xuewu blinked and looked at Lou Jie with amusement.

"Just listen to what he says. Actually, in my opinion, he wants to buy."

Lou Jie curled her lips and said, "Is he someone who can suffer a loss? At this time, the more chaotic the prices are, the better the time to fish in troubled waters. Anyway, I don't believe him."

After finishing, she looked at her father and said, "Don't listen to whatever he says to you. He just wants to rake things in."

Father Lou lowered his eyes and drank tea, not caring about his daughter's warning.

"He's just envious that my dad has escaped the sea of suffering and went to our house to inquire about news."

Lou Jie turned back and said to Li Xuewu, "Now they all say my dad bowed his head voluntarily, turning from a capitalist identity to a worker role."

"Although he's working for others, he has something to say about his identity. Aren't they all envious?"

"What kind of transformation is this?"

Father Lou looked at his daughter with dissatisfaction and then said, "What identity one should have, one has. Is it something that can be turned just by saying so? They are also confused."

"Indeed, this time is the same as usual. What is looked at is still the historical composition."

Li Xuewu drank a sip of tea, then nodded to Father Lou and said, "You can pay attention to it. The timing isn't mature yet. Let's talk about it later."

Father Lou nodded silently and didn't say anything more about this.

Li Xuewu knew why Father Lou brought up this person—nothing more than wanting to probe Li Xuewu on whether he would let them get on the boat in such a situation.

The price of the boat ticket naturally varies depending on how early or late one gets on the boat. When Father Lou wanted to raise funds, the boat ticket was the most suitable, but unfortunately, their vision was short-sighted and they missed it.

Now the boat has left the shore. If they want to get on the boat, they have to wait a while. How can one not wait until the people on the shore are anxious before selling tickets?

Father Lou provided an introduction and got Li Xuewu's reply, so he knew he wanted to sell high-priced tickets.

It's also true. How can one not slaughter when carrying passengers on a boat? Whether they are panicked or chaotic has nothing to do with the one driving the boat.

"Director, you're looking for me."

"Hmm, come."

Li Xuewu raised his head and looked at Yu Decai, greeted him, then found a newspaper on the desk, placed it opposite, pointed at it, and signaled for him to ask, "Have you seen it?"

Yu Decai walked over, picked up the newspaper, looked at it, and put it down. He looked at Li Xuewu earnestly and said, "I've seen it. Actually, I saw it the day the matter in Jin Ling was reported."

"Hmm."

Li Xuewu's expression was a bit hesitant and a bit serious. He tapped the fountain pen in his hand and asked, "How is the special group for preparing a big study and big discussion that I told you about before?"

"I have already selected a few young comrades, and also selected a few activists and correspondents from various departments and units."

Yu Decai folded the newspaper in his hand and placed it on the pile of documents on Li Xuewu's desk. He reported softly, "According to your instructions, I have already organized two special spirit study and discussion meetings and submitted thirteen special reports and study insights to the working group and the Party Committee."

"Hmm, what about the Propaganda Department?"

Li Xuewu looked at Yu Decai and narrowed his eyes, saying, "You must attach importance to the propaganda front. With the support of Deputy Secretary Gu, this work must be opened up and done well."

"Yes."

Yu Decai frowned slightly and said, "The current main work focus of the Propaganda Department is still the residential area project and the mutual assistance trade. Other content is only selected for important propaganda."

As he spoke, he found the part of the factory newspaper on Li Xuewu's desk, showed it to Li Xuewu, and explained, "Regarding the level of spiritual construction, the Propaganda Department's choice is very cautious. Our manuscripts can't go up for the time being."

Li Xuewu looked at Yu Decai, then tapped the newspaper in his hand and said, "Of course your writing on spiritual construction won't work. Even the working group doesn't understand the current spirit, so you can understand it?"

After finishing, he grabbed the newspaper in his hand, placed it aside, pointed at the People's Daily, and said, "Something like this—write about things that actually happened, write about grassroots young comrades responding to the Party Committee, responding to the call from above, and consciously carrying out big study and big discussion activities."

Li Xuewu pointed at the newspaper he had just placed aside and said, "Write about the Security Department responding to the enthusiasm of young people for learning, encouraging them to establish a youth study assault team for big study and big discussion, and encouraging them to display youth thought and spiritual construction."

"If you write it like this, can they not publish it? They dare not!"

Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Decai, who was a bit surprised, then signaled and said, "You must get close to the mainstream. What are you doing setting up your own shop?"

"Yes, Director. I will change the propaganda strategy when I go down."

Yu Decai understood Li Xuewu's meaning instantly and took the notebook to record Li Xuewu's meaning.

Li Xuewu frowned and looked at the newspaper on the table. He didn't care about other things; he only looked at specific things.

The thing is that above, regarding this matter at the Jin Ling school, they want to increase the intensity of big study and big discussion activities.

If this matter forms a discussion and forms the main development direction of the current activity, then the Rolling Mill will also experience the situation in Jin Ling.

If they really carry out "methods of change," the Rolling Mill will be in chaos.

Li Xuewu knew that the industrial environment was much better than the cultural environment. Just looking at the school and literature side, they were already like this, but the major factories were still in good order.

This has a relationship with the old worker brothers, and also has a relationship with the factory having a complete security order.

But looking at this situation from the other side, it is also the pressure on the security department.

Li Xuewu saw the complex situation above through this matter. The general working group wants to control the situation, while the other side wants to break through this situation by taking advantage of the situation.

The direction of breaking through the situation is to break this limitation, scatter a ball of fire into stars all over the sky, and form a situation where a single spark can start a prairie fire.

The change in the direction of public opinion also represents the change in the spirit that needs to be understood. Li Xuewu didn't emphasize that Yu Decai should strengthen propaganda intensity before, but now it won't work, because if you don't show the positive side, people will think you are negative.

This kind of thing, they don't look at the middle, and there is no such thing as a middle zone. It's either black or white.

"The matter of the assault team must be further operated."

Li Xuewu thought for a moment and instructed Yu Decai, "Select a team leader and three deputy team leaders, who will be responsible for organizing activities, propaganda, and ideological construction work respectively."

"These four people should be transferred out separately, and then select three to four assault team officers to form a youth study assault team. Set up a separate office for them, let them specifically engage in this work."

Li Xuewu thought while instructing, "Put one person in, watch them for me. If I let them in, they must in; if I let them out, they must out. You must control them."

"Yes."

Yu Decai wrote down this instruction from Li Xuewu just now, and at the same time asked, "Which department should it be placed under?"

"No, list it separately. It cannot be placed under any department."

Li Xuewu's hand on the desk lifted, looked at Yu Decai, narrowed his eyes, and said, "It is the Security Department that supports and encourages them to do so, and is willing to see them bravely explore the advanced path of youth big study, but it is not the Security Department that arranges for them to do so."

Yu Decai felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, knowing that these young people in the department with particularly active thoughts were finished.

"You are responsible for docking with this assault team leader, and at the same time provide a certain amount of activity funds."

Li Xuewu looked at the propaganda form outside and waved his hand, saying, "For example, printing propaganda pages, setting up colored flags, etc. It is also an advanced organization, so it must have some appearance."

"Understood."

Yu Decai's fountain pen didn't stop, writing down Li Xuewu's instructions, and also writing his understanding of this work.

Seeing that Li Xuewu had nothing else to do, he nodded, signaled outside the door, and went out to get busy.

Li Xuewu scratched his chin here, remembering the mutual assistance trade Yu Decai mentioned just now. This must be a gimmick Li Huai De made for the three-place trade.

The essence of this kind of trade is the acquisition of worker welfare, using policy support to communicate with related manufacturers.

But on Li Xuewu's side, it was transformed, meaning that the exchanged goods were no longer limited to what workers needed, but expanded to things that workers in other factories needed.

The location was also no longer limited to the capital, and the factories exchanging goods were no longer limited to factories around the capital.

This made it seem a bit out of bounds, so Li Huai De, who had a relatively small courage, put a hat on this trade.

This hat was the same as the previous special train for supporting border construction and disaster relief, but it just changed its name and became a mutual assistance trade.

It was quite complex.

Li Xuewu sneered and said in his heart, because when formulating this plan, he was thinking about this policy matter, and he thought there wouldn't be any situation, so he reported it directly to Li Huai De.

He didn't expect Li Huai De to be so cautious, but this also proved Li Huai De's ability.

Actually, being cautious is right. Li Huai De has taken too many bullets and has to have a few more eyes.

Li Xuewu picked up the briefing issued by the factory and looked at it, sneering at the corner of his mouth, and placed it aside gently.

A notification was written on the briefing, which was also the reason for Li Xuewu's sneer.

"Notification on the Investigation and Punishment of the Implementation of Big Study and Big Discussion Activities":

The Logistics Management Department's study discipline is lax, and the implementation of the spirit is not in place... According to... give the person in charge Zhang Guoqi a demerit, give the supervisor Li Huai De a warning, give the supervisor Gu Weijie a warning...

Li Xuewu saw this briefing when he came in the morning. He had psychological preparation for this punishment long ago. The working group had been busy for so long; they wouldn't raise it high and put it down lightly.

The notification punished several units together. The Logistics Management Department was the most serious, and it also affected the supervisors.

Because the Security Department carried out the activities well, the study traces were preserved sufficiently, and a special study group was established, it received praise in the notification.

Li Xuewu looked at the briefing again, not to see those few words of praise, but thinking that Yang Fengshan's goal was achieved, but also not achieved.

The goal of attacking Zhang Guoqi and warning Li Huai De was achieved, but the goal of rectifying the political order of the Rolling Mill was not achieved.

Now both Party affairs and business work are supervised and influenced by the working group. He can be considered to have "understood" the factory director.

Many people in the office are discussing this matter, saying that the factory director's handling of this matter needs consideration, and they even gave Yang Fengshan a nickname: Yang Big Head.

In Li Xuewu's view, Yang Fengshan's move was that the balance wasn't played well. He thought that those who came down from above must be here to help him stand his ground, but he underestimated the greed of the human heart.

Where are there any good people among these people in the working group? If they don't bring something back after coming down once, how can they report their work to their leaders?

They are all people in the game, and they are all responsible persons. Who can wholeheartedly help whom?

At least what Li Xuewu saw was that the greed of the working group was not satisfied. Where could a demerit for a department-level official satisfy their achievements?

The Rolling Mill's "self-inspection and self-correction" had already caught a deputy factory director. If they only caught a department director, wouldn't that mean they came for nothing?

When Li Xuewu came this morning, he found that two more cars had been added to the parking position of the working group. It was clear that the workload was quite large, and they started calling people.

Looking at this appearance, it was clearly aimed at cadres at the deputy factory level and above. Department directors were just foils.

Yang Fengshan originally invited these people down to stabilize the situation, to eliminate the influence, and to control the chaos.

But he didn't expect that the dragon-slaying boy might become a dragon. Those invited weren't necessarily here to catch ghosts; they might also be ghosts.

The Rolling Mill, which was already in chaos, added another force, and it was a force greater than the Rolling Mill itself, adding another layer of haze to the sky of the Rolling Mill.

Monday morning was very busy. Li Xuewu only stood up and walked to the window when smoking.

Seeing a group of young people gathering downstairs in the factory office, he thought they were going to help and labor, so he didn't care.

But before getting off work in the morning, when Yu Decai led Zhou Yao into the office, Li Xuewu knew that the group gathered by the factory office just now might be the university students who came to report today.

Now they can't be called university students; they should be comrades, because they have finished their internships, completed their graduation, and after reporting, they are workers and cadres of the factory.

"Hello, Director!"

"Hehe, hello."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and signaled for her to sit.

Yu Decai introduced with a smile, "Director, Comrade Zhou Yao has been assigned to the Comprehensive Office of our department. She will still work in the same trench as us in the future, hehe~"

"Thank you, Director Yu."

Zhou Yao smiled shyly, followed Li Xuewu's gesture, sat in front of the desk, and thanked Yu Decai, who helped introduce her.

Yu Decai patted Zhou Yao's shoulder lightly with his fingertips and said to Li Xuewu with a smile, "The material evaluation was written by the Director, so let the Director do the entry talk."

"Go, go get busy."

Li Xuewu knew that Yu Decai was using a joke to help Zhou Yao say good things, and was also expressing his valuation of Zhou Yao.

"I still have things to do. Little Zhou, listen carefully to the leader's words."

Yu Decai instructed with a smile and left.

Li Xuewu screwed the fountain pen in his hand, and after Yu Decai went out, he looked Zhou Yao over.

Zhou Yao was also a bit embarrassed by Li Xuewu's look, but she still insisted on smoothing the hair by her ear and looked up at Li Xuewu.

"Hehe, only after washing away the lead can one see the gold; fading away the vanity and returning to the truth. Training and learning make people grow."

Li Xuewu nodded to Zhou Yao and said, "How is it? Returning to the Security Department, do you have any feelings?"

"Yes, there are many."

Zhou Yao smiled and said, "When I heard Director Xu read my name and the name of the Security Department, I always had a feeling that fate was connected."

"Hahaha~"

Li Xuewu nodded with a smile and leaned back in his chair.

Zhou Yao was also influenced by Li Xuewu's smile. Knowing that the Director was in a good mood, her nerves relaxed slightly.

"Walking into the Security Department building again, sitting in my position again, it's like passing through a dream, with a sense of revisiting an old place."

"It seems this little vacation wasn't taken in vain."

Li Xuewu said with a smile, "How is it? Have you adjusted your mindset, ready to come to the factory to work as a formal worker?"

"Yes, I am ready."

Zhou Yao heard Li Xuewu ask about her state and earnestly gave Li Xuewu a guarantee.

Li Xuewu waved his hand, signaling her to relax. He also sat up straight, put his arms on the table, and asked, "Has the level been set? What is it?"

"It's a Director-level staff member."

Zhou Yao also answered Li Xuewu with difficulty in restraining her pride, and at the same time sincerely thanked him, "Thank you for your attention and cultivation, Director. I..."

She wanted to say some words of thanks, but was interrupted by Li Xuewu's gesture.

"We are all in the same department in the future. Just like Director Yu said, we are all comrades in the same trench, so no need to say these."

Li Xuewu said with a smile, and then nodded, "Work hard. You are a university student, and I have high expectations for you. The Security Department and the Rolling Mill will all give you a stage to display your talents. If there is anything you don't understand or don't know, you must actively ask your seniors for advice."

"Yes, I know, Director."

Zhou Yao knew that her first meeting with the leader after graduation had come to an end, so she took the initiative to stand up and salute.

Li Xuewu looked at her salute and said with a smile, "It's not very standard. Wait until you return from the training ground, and then salute me again for me to see."

"Yes, Director."

Zhou Yao pursed her lips a bit embarrassedly, answered, and seeing Li Xuewu lower his head to work, she turned and left the office.

She knew Li Xuewu's attention to her, from writing the evaluation for her, to arranging for her to return to the Security Department, to arranging for her to go to the training ground to participate in training.

Director Yu had said that these were all personally instructed and arranged by the Director, and his valuation of her was much more than other young people in the department.

During the distribution meeting this morning, Zhou Yao heard that the quota this time was fought for very fiercely. Many classmates' internship units couldn't get them back, and they were all distributed according to the factory office's opinion.

Only she was the only one interning in a department, and she also successfully returned to the original department, so it was a bit conspicuous.

And what was even more conspicuous was that this time the factory didn't set the appointment level for newly assigned university students high. In the past, there were three or four Director-level staff quotas, but this time there was only one, and that was her.

And in the past, there would be about ten Deputy Director-level staff, but this time there were only three, and the rest were set as staff members.

What was as "lucky" as her was that Fu Linfang was set as a Deputy Director-level staff member, but the unfortunate thing was that she wasn't assigned to the Service Department, but went to the Logistics Department.

What was even more unfortunate was that the assigned unit wasn't under the Logistics Department.

Huang Shiwen, who was with them, wasn't so "lucky" and only got a staff member level. Her study grades were originally ranked at the front of the class. She didn't expect that a situation of inversion would appear as soon as she started working.

If there was no luck, that was fine, but the terrible thing was that some people wanted to stay but didn't, while she didn't want to stay but was reassigned to the Service Department.

Is it God playing tricks on people, or is Director Xu a bastard?

After the distribution ended, Zhou Yao wanted to find Huang Shiwen to talk, but saw her leave alone, so she had to say a few words to Fu Linfang and came to the Security Building.

These university students had been interning at the factory for more than two months, so they naturally knew what was what.

But just as Zhou Yao said, returning to a familiar place always has a sense of strangeness of revisiting an old place.

Those who weren't distributed back to their original units had even more of a sense of strangeness. This might be a blow to them on their first day of work.

Being able to get the most enviable level and being able to set it at the position of Director-level staff from the first step, Zhou Yao was far ahead of others from the starting line.

It might take three years for a staff member to rise to a Deputy Director-level staff member, and another three years to rise from a Deputy Director-level staff member to a Director-level staff member. In vain, Zhou Yao saved six years of time.

This is still calculated according to not holding specific leadership positions. If holding specific business positions, three years can also become two years.

But Zhou Yao must be placed in specific positions for cultivation, which will also make the gap between them bigger and bigger.

This is why in the workplace, even if they all come in together, there will be a big difference in rank after two or three years.

This Director-level staff Zhou Yao knew that part of it came from her participation in large projects, and part of it came from the support of the Security Department, especially Li Xuewu's support.

There was also help from Director Yu and Sha Qizhi. Without Director Yu, she couldn't have participated in the compilation work of the double plans. Without Sha Qizhi, she couldn't have learned machine knowledge so quickly.

Things that seem very coincidental are actually walked out step by step. People who look unfriendly and work that looks unfair will give you a satisfactory answer in the end.

Even if it's not as obvious a feedback as Zhou Yao, it will accumulate experience superior to ordinary people in the process of one's learning and growth.

Getting off work at noon, Li Xuewu walked toward the guesthouse alone and happened to meet Xu Sinian walking out of the office building.

Li Xuewu originally wanted to pretend he didn't see him and speed up his pace, but was called by Xu Sinian from behind.

He wanted to pretend he didn't hear it, but those walking in front had turned their heads to look, so he couldn't pretend to be deaf with Xu Sinian.

"Why walk so fast? Chased by a dog?"

"Hehe, indeed~"

Seeing Xu Sinian ask, Li Xuewu twitched the corner of his mouth and answered.

Xu Sinian wanted to slap himself. Why ask anything else? Why ask this?

If it were a real person, how would they answer like this? But who told him he met Li Xuewu?

"You really aren't a thing. Using people when facing forward, not using people when facing backward!"

Xu Sinian pointed at Li Xuewu and accused, "You did things for me today, and you don't recognize people when you turn your butt, and you even pretend you didn't see me."

"What's up? Want to dodge debt!"

"What am I dodging!"

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said, "I don't have any debt at all. What am I dodging? You're the one who thought too much."

"Fine, I've recognized your face."

Xu Sinian curled his lips and said, "I still have a few male university students in my hand who haven't been assigned. Don't you want them?"

"Hmm~~ Don't want."

Li Xuewu shook his head and said, "I'm sensitive to university students now, and the Security Department doesn't need such high-level talent to improve comprehensive quality. Leave it to useful units."

"Hiss~~ You really are~ ah!"

Xu Sinian looked at Li Xuewu's side face, hissed, and then nodded, "Your vision is indeed sharp, and your calculation can be called the top in our factory."

Li Xuewu glanced at Xu Sinian and continued walking without caring.

Whether it's praise or sarcasm, it doesn't matter. His skin is very thick.

Xu Sinian said to himself, "Since when did university students become hot potatoes? They used to be fought over, but now there's a surplus."

After finishing, he looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Hey, do you say the world has changed, or the human heart has changed?"

"I say it's you, Director Xu, who has changed."

Li Xuewu rolled his eyes and said, "You've become motherly and sentimental, developing in the direction of a knowing big sister."

"Go! ~ You're the knowing big sister."

Xu Sinian also laughed out loud, then shook his head with emotion and said, "You say, you say! How to assign the remaining ten or so university students? Should they all be hung in the special study group?"

"You've also been possessed."

Li Xuewu raised an eyebrow and said, "If you ask me, throw them all into the workshop, start from the front line, take root among the workers, and absorb nutrients from the worker masses to grow. By then, the production management department of our factory won't have to be big rough guys like Old Kuang."

"Hey! Good you, Li Xuewu, talking bad about me behind my back!"

Li Xuewu was just talking when Kuang Yusheng's voice came from behind, pointing at Li Xuewu and accusing him of talking bad about him with a smile.

Li Xuewu turned around, saw Kuang Yusheng and Xia Zhongquan walking over, and explained with a smile, "Look how coincidental this is. We were just praising you."

"Go to yours, I clearly heard it just now~"

Kuang Yusheng didn't buy Li Xuewu's account and said with a smile, "This set of yours in front and another set behind won't work! It doesn't conform to your positive image as Director Li."

"Look at you!"

Li Xuewu gestured to Xu Sinian, and while waiting for Kuang Yusheng and the others, he said with a smile, "Just now I said we couldn't praise him; he wouldn't buy our good."

After finishing, he explained to Kuang Yusheng behind him, "We, just now we were saying that Director Kuang is good at management, can care about and lead young comrades to struggle, saying that Director Kuang is generous, worldly-wise, rough but fine, and works seriously, abbreviated as big rough guy."

Xu Sinian listened to Li Xuewu's explanation, nodded to Kuang Yusheng with a smile, and then pretended to say to Kuang Yusheng, "Look, it's a misunderstanding. Hurry up and apologize to Director Li."

"Hahahaha~"

Kuang Yusheng and the others walked up, patted Xu Sinian on the shoulder not lightly or heavily, and said with a smile, "Do I need to apologize to you first, to save you from sending those students to us?"

"Hahaha~"

Several people laughed again about this topic. Li Xuewu also smiled awkwardly. He had just given Xu Sinian an idea and was caught red-handed by Kuang Yusheng.

However, he could also cover it up, signaled to walk forward together, and while walking, said, "I said this to Director Xu, also for your own good."

"University students, after all, are high-culture and high-quality. If cultivated well, they are the backbone force that can change the comprehensive quality of your production management department."

Li Xuewu didn't let Kuang Yusheng refute and continued, "To be honest, scientific technology must be the primary productive force. Learning cultural knowledge and improving professional skills must be important in your unit."

"The basic quality of university students must be stronger than ordinary people. You definitely won't oppose this, right? Then can university students be cultivated to become managers who walk out of the worker ranks?"

"Such managers understand the needs of workers, understand the work demands of workers, understand post skills, understand production systems. Are they not more combat-effective than those who developed from people like you with low culture?"

"Hey! Old Kuang! You must listen to this sentence!"

Xia Zhongquan pointed at Kuang Yusheng and said, "Technological development must not be in the design department, not in the office, but in the hands of front-line workers. They know more specifically and realistically than we do and can consider problems from a practical perspective."

"If you can really use university students well, then your position as director of the management department is a great merit."

Xia Zhongquan also sighed, "The development of a unit or department is influenced by the person in charge. His decisions can even affect the future of the department. You must consider the future of the production management department well."

"Hey! You make it sound like I'm guilty."

Kuang Yusheng narrowed his eyes, looked at Li Xuewu, and said, "Why don't you want these people?"

After finishing, he continued, "You all know the current situation of the production management department. It's hard to control the stable situation on the surface, but its fundamental problems haven't been solved."

"I might have ignored it before, but now the grassroots Party organization is very responsible. The ideological state of young workers is very unstable and easily influenced by external factors, talking about some class and change issues."

Kuang Yusheng frowned when he said this and said, "I am not opposing this opinion, nor am I opposing their direction of struggle. What I want to say is that everything must start from reality and start from the fundamental task. Those who pull teeth can't go write novels, and workers can't go engage in ideological politics, right?"

Li Xuewu gave a light laugh and said, "You still haven't understood the spirit above thoroughly. This is a change from inside to outside. Workers can lead this change and become the vanguard of this change."

"These young workers have the fighting spirit of self-change, have the determination to move toward change, and have the will to fight against capital. They want to display themselves in the new period and the new era. You must give them this opportunity."

Li Xuewu patted Kuang Yusheng's arm lightly and said, "You are an old comrade. I don't need to tell you the truth about compatibility. You must also have the awareness of avoiding the sharp edge, striking the lazy, following everyone's desires, and everyone getting what they want."

"You are the number one person in the production management department, the person in charge of thousands of workers, and the first line of defense for our factory to stabilize production and ensure combat effectiveness. You can't mess up your own formation and fear the enemy without moving forward."

"I understand the matter of young workers you mentioned, and I also understand that you are afraid that the addition of university students will cause a chemical reaction."

"But have you ever thought of a truth, that blocking the mouths of the people is more serious than blocking the river! Can you block them for a lifetime?"

Li Xuewu walked in the middle, with Xu Sinian and Kuang Yusheng beside him, and Xia Zhongquan beside Kuang Yusheng. The four walked and talked, mainly Li Xuewu talking and the three listening.

Regarding this matter of Kuang Yusheng, Li Xuewu also had the intention to chat with him long ago. The Rolling Mill cannot be chaotic, and the workshop cannot be chaotic.

In the construction of grassroots Party organizations, Kuang Yusheng had already tasted the sweetness, not only getting help and support from the Party Committee but also getting support from the grassroots masses.

Now the number of times he goes to the workshop is more than the number of times he goes to Nie Chenglin, and the number of times he talks to workers is also more than the time he reports to leaders. This is a kind of change.

He is an old comrade, an old head-of-household management style. There is no problem with old workers, but for these new young people, it is a kind of restraint, a kind of confinement, and an object of resistance.

Kuang Yusheng is not bad, and Li Xuewu also doesn't want him to follow Zhang Guoqi's old path. In the situation of being able to protect him, he tries his best to give him advice.

The key is that Kuang Yusheng really listens to his words and really tastes the taste of a wise man from his words.

"Sometimes when things are done, it doesn't necessarily have to be said, done, or influenced personally. There is also a kind of subtle support."

Li Xuewu said, "To put it bluntly, if you can't beat them, join them. If these young people do well and make trouble well, then I will join them and study with them."

Seeing Kuang Yusheng surprised by his point of view, Li Xuewu patted his arm again and explained, "At this time, young people will feel surprised, will feel curious about you, and then understand why you want to learn like them."

"At this time, the spirit they advocate and the ideas they strive for will all have a relationship with you, and you can also communicate with them directly. Then do they still have the need to make trouble?"

"Still have to go deep to understand their thoughts. Sometimes it might be very alternative, might be very childish, but you must let them see your mature side, let them see that the organization understands and helps them, rather than scolding and squeezing them out."

Li Xuewu signaled to Xu Sinian's direction and said, "I let Director Xu give you all the people. Actually, it's giving you an opportunity to communicate more with these university students."

"They are also newcomers and need to integrate. If you can integrate with these university students, won't it be convenient to integrate into the worker masses?"

Xu Sinian nodded and said, "Director Li said it very correctly. Integrating university students and these intellectuals into the worker group is a need for change and is responding to the current spirit. If you do this, you will be paid attention to by them."

"Integrating workers with intellectuals, you, Old Kuang, are going to walk in front of all of us."

Xu Sinian said with a smile, "You must also take this opportunity to integrate cadres and organizations, learn this kind of advanced nature, and feel this youth change enthusiasm."

Xia Zhongquan poked Kuang Yusheng's arm on the side and deliberately reminded, "The depth, integration, and combination they mentioned all refer to thoughts, not bodies. Don't learn from someone!"

"Go to yours!"
