Chapter 695: Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors

Saturday morning was as lively as Li Xuewu had thought.

"This... how could this be!"

"This..."

"Where is Deputy Director Feng?!"

"Quickly go find Deputy Director Feng!"

"I heard Deputy Director Feng was frowning when he handled this matter."

Sha Qizhi processed the documents transferred by the factory office one by one, and also handed the documents that hadn't been handled well yesterday to Li Xuewu to handle properly.

He reported the "news" he heard this morning in a low voice, the most explosive of which belonged to the working group.

According to what Sha Qizhi said, the walls, corridors, doors, and windows of the working group's office were all covered with big-character posters, and a small pile of report letters was piled up at the door.

One could say big-character posters were one thing; can things that can be said and posted be called matters?

If one out of ten was true, it would be considered qualified; it was purely nonsense and added trouble to their work.

Investigating these things that were based on hearsay was extremely laborious, and it was a waste of time and energy; it was not as practical as report letters.

At first, the working group thought, Li Huai De had "surrendered" yesterday, so the report letters today must all be aimed at him.

Looking at the big-character posters, one knew they were all about how Li Huai De was this and that, how he was irresponsible in work, how his management wasn't in place, how he occupied the latrine without pooping...

Anyway, what was said was all nonsense. When the working group opened the letters with full anticipation, they discovered that these seventy-odd letters were all reporting Nie Chenglin.

Hey! This was truly a little monk on the roof beam, strange and wonderful!

Nie Chenglin had just had an accident yesterday, and today there were people "kicking him while he was down." Was it that Deputy Factory Director Nie's popularity was too poor, or were there really bad people among the steel mill masses!

This speed was too fast; there is a reason for pushing a wall when it falls, but one couldn't do it like this!

So when Deputy Director Feng saw these report letters, he was also stunned.

Nothing else, he knew about Nie Chenglin's matter yesterday, and even more knew about the contradiction between Nie Chenglin and the workers below; he didn't expect that while he was looking forward to fixing Li Huai De today, a Nie Chenglin would pop out.

Fine! Raising one sheep is raising, and raising two sheep is also raising!

Although very strange, Feng Daozong still decided to dispatch a portion of manpower to investigate Nie Chenglin.

Investigating Nie Chenglin wasn't for any other reason, mainly because the things in these report letters were quite practical, as if this matter were really true.

The most critical thing was that these matters were all from a political perspective, starting from Nie Chenglin's patriarchal work style; don't even ask, one investigation and it's accurate.

Even Factory Director Yang Fengshan, who had just started work, had heard about it and communicated with the secretary for a while.

It was originally a problem of Nie Chenglin's work management; there was no right or wrong in business, it was just that the way and method of doing things were wrong, and the attitude of the handling was also bad, which was why it blew up.

If it were in the past, who would report him!

But now it wouldn't work; the workers were looking for an emotional vent, and Nie Chenglin had just bumped his head into those skilled workers in the workshop.

Yesterday, Secretary Yang talked to Nie Chenglin, seriously criticizing Nie Chenglin for his unreasonable intervention in the projects managed by the two divisions, without doing investigations, and without asking for the opinions of relevant responsible persons and the masses, acting arbitrarily.

This is the most undesirable in organizational work, and even more so, it has no mass foundation, which greatly affects his prestige.

Nie Chenglin also made explanations to the working group members and relevant leading comrades on the secretary's side, and also made a self-criticism regarding this irrational decision.

And on the other side, Yang Fengshan, Gu Weijie, and others held an office meeting with the management personnel of the Production Management Division and the Design Division, seriously criticizing the responsible persons of the two departments.

In handling relevant work, they didn't fully grasp the intention of the superiors, and didn't think seriously about the significance of the superiors' decisions, blindly uploading and distributing, making the problem contradictory and complicated.

Especially individual responsible persons and cadres, who took a stand in this contradiction, which is not allowed in politics, and even more so violates discipline.

Yang Fengshan emphasized that the leading cadres have a distance from the workers below, and each department responsible person needs to take responsibility, improve their political standing, grasp and implement the intention of the leading cadres, and cannot treat it passively, and even less can they stand in the wrong position.

These words were criticizing Kuang Yusheng and Xia Zhongquan, mainly because they stood on the side of the workers and pushed this matter into an unpredictable abyss.

If Yang Fengshan hadn't appeared in time, shelved the contradiction, and stopped more intensified actions, the farce yesterday wouldn't have been able to end.

Because Yang Fengshan called all the cadres of the two divisions over, and stated the problem in front of everyone, that was to hit the board.

Kuang Yusheng and Xia Zhongquan were department responsible persons, so naturally, they had to stand out and take the initiative to make self-criticism and admit their mistakes.

Both sides' matters were settled, and finally, it was time to get off work; Yang Fengshan didn't delay other comrades from getting off work, so he called Kuang Yusheng and Xia Zhongquan to the secretary's office.

Nie Chenglin was still talking here, and when the two sides converged, Yang Yuansong and Yang Fengshan crossed over to comfort and exhort their respective interviewees, and Gu Weijie, who was in charge of the Party Committee's personnel work, also did organizational work for both sides.

The three of them also talked to each other yesterday and made self-criticisms; the steel mill side and the working group both felt that this matter was just like this, but they didn't expect that the cadre team was stable, but the workers below wouldn't let it go.

This matter was truly a matter; yesterday the working group respected the steel mill's leadership and didn't say anything at the meeting, but now that there were reports, they had to do work.

If they didn't do work, the masses' opinions would be concentrated on them.

Therefore, Feng Daozong also conducted a routine investigation into this matter in accordance with organizational discipline and work requirements.

Starting from the morning, the working group's personnel were scattered, following the clues, and conducting investigations on the reporters and relevant clues according to the problems counted in the report letters.

This was a big job; the work of investigating Li Huai De wasn't finished yet, and now they started investigating Nie Chenglin.

Feng Daozong had already asked for people from the ministry once; he couldn't ask for them again, what would that become? It wouldn't look good on the steel mill's side either.

Actually, the faces of Yang Yuansong and Yang Fengshan were already not looking good; Li Huai De was handled yesterday, Nie Chenglin was handled today, and only Yang Fengshan and Jing Yunong were left in the factory office meeting; what was this going to do?

Yang Fengshan thought this way without any mistake, because after Nie Chenglin came today, because of this matter, and yesterday's matter, he had already submitted a leave application.

The reason was also very sufficient: physical discomfort, needing to go to the hospital for an examination.

Clearly, the steel mill had a hospital, and clearly, the steel mill hospital was a top-notch hospital, but the Deputy Factory Director Nie insisted on going to the city to see, and still wanted to see traditional Chinese medicine.

This was already very obvious; Deputy Factory Director Nie "wasn't doing it anymore," acting shamelessly and not going to work.

The people in the office thought, the reasons were nothing more than these few: one was that he had no face to go to work, having been dug by his subordinates, and almost beaten yesterday, so how could he have the face to come.

The second was the report letters; Deputy Factory Director Nie must have felt that those who apologized to him yesterday were unconvinced, so they worked overnight to harm him.

Hey! Hearing this morning that Deputy Factory Director Nie had asked for sick leave, Kuang Yusheng and Xia Zhongquan were more surprised than anyone.

This Deputy Factory Director Nie was from an old worker background, and his body was like the iron lumps in the workshop; how could he be sick just because he said he was sick?

Another thing, how could it be such a coincidence that report letters harming him appeared right after they clashed with Deputy Factory Director Nie?

And what was even more coincidental was that Deputy Factory Director Nie got sick after hearing about this, not even giving them time and opportunity to explain; what kind of business is this?

People in the office knew that the relationship coordinated by the leaders yesterday was in vain, and the contradiction between Deputy Factory Director Nie and the two divisions had no solution.

It was originally coordinated by the leaders, and there was no previous trust and tacit understanding; it was like a husband and wife fighting, and now suddenly a group of people came out saying one side scolded the other; how could this be allowed?!

Therefore, the matter Yang Fengshan was worried about still appeared; he would face the problem of choosing one of two.

Either give the Production Management Division and the Design Division a major blood transfusion, and adjust and disperse the cadres who didn't obey management.

Or adjust the division of labor at the upcoming mid-year work meeting.

No matter which one is chosen, it will cause damage to the current production work of the steel mill and the overall harmonious environment, and will even affect the current stable political ecology.

Yang Fengshan had thought that the Logistics Division would have an accident, had thought that the Security Section would have an accident, but he just hadn't thought that his base camp would have an accident, and once it did, it was a total collapse.

Through the conversation with Kuang Yusheng and Xia Zhongquan yesterday, it was learned that the thinking of these two cadres had been influenced by certain people, and they had a tendency to develop in the direction of pragmatism.

They paid more attention to utilitarianism, emphasizing life, action, and effect, reducing experience and reality to the effect of action, knowledge to the tool of action, and truth to usefulness, utility, or the success of action.

Simply put, the essence of pragmatism is reflected in: the task of cognition is to recognize the effect of action, thereby providing belief for action.

That is to say, what Yang Fengshan sees now is that the responsible persons of the two divisions, and even more divisions, have had this kind of thinking and political tendency through gatherings and conversations with certain people.

They focus on whether action can bring about some practical effect, that is, focus on direct utility and interests.

Simply put, usefulness is truth, uselessness is dog shit.

Yang Fengshan knew that this theory couldn't be more Li Xuewu.

He and Yang Yuansong had chatted about Li Xuewu's political thoughts and tendencies, and the conclusion reached was that Li Xuewu didn't lean toward any side, and was completely a practitioner of pragmatism.

Yang Fengshan was also someone who had been engaged in organizational work for many years, so he naturally understood that more of the masses in the factory were believers in XIN-ism, while the organization he was in paid attention to WU-ism.

Then there would be a contradictory conflict between the two isms, and this contradictory conflict is fundamental and cannot be integrated.

But now there is a kind of thinking that is reconciling the opposing theories about science and life.

This kind of thinking doesn't stick to the logical form of subject-predicate of Aristotle, but tries to change the way of thinking and establish a new logical framework for thinking activities.

This way of thinking doesn't discuss concepts for the sake of concepts, but explores what effects they will produce.

The pragmatic method opposes setting the first existing things, principles, or categories first; it only focuses on the last things.

It sounds complicated, but it's very simple to summarize: people-oriented.

Before starting this matter, one must first consider the demands of several parties, start from reality, coordinate and adjust relevant ways and methods, and then reach a product after compromise.

Saying it this way, Yang Fengshan also understood that it was actually the survival rule in the office, and even more the hidden rule of doing things in the office.

Although these rules exist, they also have the necessity of existence.

However, how can this be put forward as a kind of thinking? This cannot be said, and it is not advocated.

Now what is paid attention to is...

The fundamental reason for this kind of thinking in the steel mill, Yang Yuansong and Yang Fengshan had also discussed, and they couldn't make a conclusion because of the appearance of one person or two people.

It is necessary to reflect on whether there are loopholes in the current organizational work, and whether the work has not been done in place.

For example, propaganda, for example, management, for example, learning and supervision.

This also defined the direction for the steel mill office meeting and the Party Committee's next work.

This kind of thinking is fundamental; freezing three feet is not a day's cold; the premise of handling this matter is to solve the appearance.

The appearance is the contradiction between Comrade Nie Chenglin and the Production Management Division and the Design Division, and the problems currently encountered by Comrade Li Huai De.

Both matters were the focus of Yang Fengshan and Yang Yuansong's current work.

Both of them also communicated with Feng Daozong and others of the working group about these two matters in the morning.

Their opinions and suggestions were all to be taken seriously by the working group, but in specific work, both of them couldn't interfere with the working group's work.

Now Li Huai De's problem was being investigated, and Nie Chenglin's problem had a warm response from the masses, so it had to be investigated; this was their next work, and it was also breaking the situation in the steel mill's big learning and big discussion work.

What Feng Daozong said seemed to make sense, but his attitude on fundamental issues was opposite to the two teams of the steel mill.

What Yang Fengshan and others were seeking was steady progress and solving problems step by step, but the working group didn't agree with this opinion.

The working group's work had a time limit; they couldn't afford the time for steady progress; what they wanted was to dig out the poison, remove the poison root, and consolidate the source.

This way of doing things naturally didn't take into account whether the steel mill would hurt its foundation, nor did it take into account relevant influences.

Because production tasks, ideological dynamics, cadre management, etc., these were all matters of the steel mill's team, and had nothing to do with them.

Both sides stuck to their own words, and the contradiction had already appeared.

Eating at the reception house at noon, Li Xuewu saw the waiter sending meals upstairs, and saw Secretary Yang go upstairs.

But not long after, he saw Yang Yuansong come down, and his face was not right.

Because of the big-character posters and report letters, this meal at noon was very quiet; everyone was thinking about their own things, so there was no discussion like in the past.

After lunch, Li Xuewu, who got Zhang Songying's gesture, invited several deputy division chiefs to the reception house swimming pool to swim.

Because it was truly hot today, and because of Nie Chenglin's matter, everyone wanted a place to talk.

In the past, they could gather together during the noon tea time to talk, but now it wouldn't work, because the sun was too poisonous at this time.

With Li Xuewu's organization, Zhang Songying had already promoted swimming trunks, so these people with intentions all transformed into swimming experts and went to the rooms upstairs to change clothes.

Li Xuewu returned to his room, and Zhang Songying also followed, bringing a piece of news to Li Xuewu:

Deputy Factory Director Li was upstairs, being forcibly interrogated by the working group, and hadn't closed his eyes since yesterday.

Li Xuewu was a bit surprised to hear this news, but also not surprised.

It was Li Huai De himself who wanted to do this, and he didn't know this wind would blow, so it was right for the working group to be anxious, and it was right to increase the intensity of his interrogation.

Zhang Songying brought Li Xuewu's swimming trunks over and watched him change clothes.

When Li Xuewu turned his head, he saw Zhang Songying staring at him.

Zhang Songying saw Li Xuewu's gaze and was also a bit embarrassed; she handed the swimming trunks in her hand over, and went to the bathroom to get Li Xuewu's bath towel and bathrobe.

The swimming trunks at this time were just like that, completely incomparable with the various materials of later generations, and wearing them was like wearing underwear.

At this time, there were also those who didn't buy swimming trunks, but directly wore underwear to swim.

That would lead to the situation of Teacher Yu; if he swam fast, the underpants wouldn't catch up.

The biggest difference between underwear and swimming trunks was that swimming trunks had a tie, which could be tied tight so they wouldn't fall off, but underwear didn't have a tie.

I don't know if the underwear was small, or if some parts of Li Xuewu were big; other places were very suitable, just that a small piece would be exposed in front inadvertently.

When putting on the bathrobe for Li Xuewu, Zhang Songying used her hand to organize it for him, and stuffed the extra piece back.

Li Xuewu drooped his eyelids and curled his lip; he clearly saw the mischievous smile on Zhang Songying's face; wasn't this taking advantage of him?

After going downstairs, Li Xuewu saw that the cadres who ate at noon had also changed into swimming trunks; those who were particular didn't know where they found swimming goggles.

This is truly a poor student with many stationery items; with their old arms and legs, do they still need swimming goggles to protect their eyes?

How fast can they swim?

After coming out of the lobby door, everyone chatted and turned the corner, coming to the swimming pool next to the reception house, and saw the swimming pool was like a big pot, and the people inside were like dumplings.

"This weather is truly hot~"

Xu Si, like Li Xuewu, was wearing a bathrobe and plastic slippers; seeing the scene in the swimming pool, he also sighed.

Li Xuewu looked at him with drooped eyes and asked: "Doesn't it delay your Director Xu from having fun with the people?"

"Go away~"

Xu Si knew there were no good words in Li Xuewu's mouth, glanced at Li Xuewu, and led by the waiter, everyone crossed the ticket gate and came to the rest area prepared by the waiter.

There weren't many people; more than ten people from those who ate together came, and regardless of whether they went into the water or not, they all got the full set of swimming equipment, looking very professional.

Li Xuewu stood under the shed on the shore, took off his bathrobe, and began to stretch his muscles and bones.

Xu Si saw Li Xuewu doing preparation movements, and he also learned, making others follow suit.

It's called swimming, isn't it just coming out to soak in a bath together? Are they really preparing to swim?

But seeing Li Xuewu being serious, they had no choice but to prepare to go into the water.

Xu Si took advantage of Li Xuewu's physical activity to walk closer and ask in a low voice: "How is Deputy Factory Director Li?"

"Splash!"

Before Xu Si could react, Li Xuewu, who had just done a diving action, plunged into the swimming pool, and then Xu Si saw Li Xuewu like a shark, ravaging the swimming pool.

At this time, those who came to the swimming pool to swim were mostly half-grown boys, or young comrades.

Those who were older couldn't swim, and were too lazy to come here to sun their bellies; at noon, only children and young guys and big girls weren't afraid of the heat.

They had this bit of free time at noon; those who loved this would go to the canteen to get meals first, and then come here with them.

They wouldn't eat when they came to the swimming pool first, but would swim a few laps, and they would definitely be hungry, and then eat, and the food would be even more fragrant.

Especially sitting by the swimming pool to eat, watching others swim, eating food comfortably, feeling that this is life.

When the time came, they would clean up and go back to work, just right.

The time Li Xuewu and the others caught was the time for workers to come to swim, so there were especially many people in the water pool.

Don't look at the many people, but there weren't many who could really swim, or who were really swimming inside; they were all soaking in the water to relieve the heat.

Everyone was static, only one shark was dynamic, so it naturally received attention.

Everyone was guessing and discussing who that shark was, and some people had already said it, and pointed to the cadres by the swimming pool, saying that the heads of each division had come.

Those who were quick-witted had already gone over to greet them, and helped those people go down to the pool to swim.

Those who were clumsy also went over to watch the excitement.

More were making way for that shark in the pool, so as not to bump into themselves.

Don't even ask, such a fierce swimming expert, and still a division cadre, it must be the youngest Li Xuewu.

After Li Xuewu swam for a while, and his posture changed to backstroke, everyone recognized that this was the head of the Security Section, Li Xuewu.

The most obvious were the scars on Li Xuewu's face, and the scars on his shoulders.

One was a laceration, one was a circular bullet hole scar, and the remaining scars weren't very obvious, but they were there, all accumulated by Li Xuewu in the past.

Those who knew thought Li Xuewu brought them back from the south, but actually many were from his own mischief when he was a child.

After swimming for a while, when he returned to the shore, these old comrades had already gone ashore.

No way, soaking in the water also consumes physical strength, especially since they had just eaten, and their stomachs were uncomfortable, so they all sat on chairs and chatted.

I don't know when, the waiter brought fruit and ice cream over; Li Xuewu didn't come up from the climbing ladder, but jumped up with his hands on the edge of the pool.

After moving his steps and standing up, he was covered with a bath towel by the waiter Xiao Jin, and then walked back to the rest area.

"Hey, Comrade Xiao Jin, I'm going to make a suggestion."

Xu Si sat on the rattan chair smoking, gestured to Xiao Jin who was following Li Xuewu and said: "How come I only see you serving Director Li, why don't we have this treatment?"

"Hahaha~"

"Exactly!"

Seeing Xu Si use this joke as an opening for the conversation, everyone also laughed and booed, actually just to set the atmosphere and pave the way for the next conversation.

Xiao Jin was at a loss; she just saw Li Xuewu come up, so she took a bath towel to help, and didn't think that much.

She didn't help these people get bath towels because they all came up together, and there were many people following to flatter them, so she couldn't squeeze in.

Now facing the "accusations" of several directors, Xiao Jin was also panicked.

"Hey, are you waiting for this one of mine?"

Li Xuewu picked up the ice cream on the table, which was the portion prepared for him, gestured and handed it to Xiao Jin, then smiled and said: "Knowing I don't eat cold things, are you doing it on purpose? Afraid I won't give it to you, and deliberately flattering, causing several leaders to misunderstand and complain, right?"

Xiao Jin took the ice cream with a blush; she naturally knew Director Li was helping her out of the siege, and she could still afford ice cream.

When preparing fruit and ice cream, naturally it had to be complete; if the leader didn't eat, it was the leader's business, but not preparing it would be "two peaches kill three warriors."

However, now that she had Director Li's help, and got his ice cream, she was truly a bit embarrassed.

She hadn't taken advantage of Director Li less in the past; every time she was on duty, Li Xuewu would give her ice cream to eat.

She had also heard that others didn't get Director Li's ice cream when they were on duty.

Today, getting Director Li's maintenance wasn't the first time; looking at Director Li's strong figure and the body full of "medals," she thought even more.

Normal, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen years old, it's exactly the time when feelings are budding and there are many thoughts.

Reaching out to take Li Xuewu's ice cream, Xiao Jin smiled sweetly, thanked Director Li, and then smiled and left after bowing slightly to the leaders who were laughing.

Everyone was just teasing, stirring up the atmosphere, and didn't hold on to this matter, otherwise it wouldn't be classy.

After Li Xuewu sat down, Xu Si handed him a piece of cantaloupe.

"Not cold, it's been sitting for a while; I know you don't eat cold things, so I specifically left it for you."

"Thank you all, you have a heart."

Li Xuewu smiled and took it, eating while saying thank you to everyone.

Actually, it was just idle chatter; there was no truth in Xu Si's mouth; they were the first to come up, so this fruit naturally couldn't wait for Li Xuewu to come up before being served.

So the fruit on the plate now was naturally "specifically left."

Li Xuewu didn't care about this, ate the melon in the idle talk of the crowd, and also listened to them talk for a while.

The topic was nothing more than these things in the factory, including the fruit from a few days ago, the residential area project, the joint enterprise, and the working group's investigation.

"Wu Shu!"

"Come!"

Banggeng saw Wu Shu waving at him from afar, swam over, and after coming ashore from the climbing ladder, ran barefoot to Li Xuewu's side.

Li Xuewu took a piece of watermelon from the table and handed it to him, saying softly: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

"Thank you, Wu Shu!"

Banggeng took it very happily, listened to Li Xuewu's words, and squatted by Li Xuewu's chair to gnaw on the watermelon.

Li Xuewu's actions and Banggeng's arrival were naturally seen by other division chiefs, but they didn't care and continued their topic.

Xu Si glanced at Banggeng and asked Li Xuewu if he was Qin Huairu's child.

Seeing Li Xuewu nod, he also smiled at Banggeng.

Li Xuewu listened to everyone talking, and precisely because he listened carefully, everyone spoke relatively seriously.

Banggeng saw Director Xu smiling at him, so he also grinned with a mouth full of watermelon.

He couldn't understand what these people around Wu Shu were talking about, but he knew what kind of people were sitting around Wu Shu.

Don't look at how young he is, but he knows a lot, and also knows these people in the factory.

Division chief of the Personnel Division, division chief of the Dispatch Division, director of the Factory Office...

Anyway, they were all middle-level cadres in the factory, all existing as big shots.

He was so happy to take Wu Shu's watermelon just now, not because the watermelon was delicious, nor because he was tired and thirsty from swimming, but because of face.

He had also reached the age of wanting face, and he also knew what was good and what was bad.

The eyes of the whole swimming pool were looking this way; everyone was swimming this way intentionally or unintentionally, wasn't it because the leaders here were holding a meeting.

Is this just a simple rest area?

This is the power circle of the steel mill!

Didn't you see the guys who served these directors swimming hadn't left, all soaking in the swimming pool, just waiting for these cadres to come down to swim again, so they could rush to help.

These people served for a long time and didn't get a piece of melon, but he, a little kid, got the care of the Security Section chief, Wu Shu, and stood in the center of everyone's gaze; could he not be happy, could he not be happy?

Is this melon he's eating?

This is face he's eating!

This is human relationship he's eating!

Banggeng, barefoot, squatted aside, feeling this melon was exceptionally sweet, especially the envious gazes of the crowd, making this melon even sweeter.

After he reluctantly finished eating the watermelon, he saw the Director Xu who had just smiled at him give him another piece of cantaloupe.

He ate this melon yesterday, brought home by his mother, it was so sweet.

It was just that he wasn't familiar with this Director Xu, and his stomach couldn't hold it, so he laughed and said: "Thank you, Grandpa Xu, my mother won't let me eat too much, saying if I eat too much, my stomach will burst and can't be sewn."

"Hahahaha~"

The crowd's conversation was interrupted, and they were amused by Banggeng's words.

Xu Si also smiled and said: "Then take it, give your mother a piece, and say it was given by Grandpa Xu."

Banggeng looked at Xu Si, looked at the melon in his hand, and finally looked at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu took the cigarette pack from the table, pinched it flat, threw it into the trash can on the side, and gestured to Banggeng, saying: "Why don't you thank your Grandpa Xu yet."

"Thank you, Grandpa Xu!"

Banggeng saw Wu Shu respond, so he smiled and took the cantaloupe from Director Xu's hand, licked his lips and said: "My mother said this thing is very sweet, if you eat too much, your teeth will grow big worms."

"Hahahaha~"

The crowd saw his innocent appearance, and they all laughed again.

The interaction here naturally attracted the attention of people in the swimming pool, and they all cast envious gazes at Banggeng.

Everyone knew this kid had no father, only a mother, and his father was a worker in the workshop who had an accident and died.

Now his mother had become the director of the reception house, and he, this little kid, had also become the focus of everyone.

Especially when these division-level cadres in the factory were teasing him, the crowd was even more envious, and their drool was about to come down.

They were greedy for that fruit, but even more greedy for these human relationships.

Li Xuewu smiled and gestured to the reception house direction to the big-faced cat, saying: "Go help us get two boxes of Da Qianmen, do you know what cigarette it is?"

"Know! You only smoke Da Qianmen!"

Banggeng actually remembered this; he often saw Li Xuewu smoking this brand.

It was just that he answered, but didn't move his feet, staring at Li Xuewu with wide eyes.

Li Xuewu deliberately teased him and asked: "Why haven't you gone yet, what are you waiting for?"

"Wu Shu~ buying cigarettes needs money~"

Banggeng deliberately shook his underpants and said: "My pocket is cleaner than my face, I can't go rob."

"Then I don't care!"

Li Xuewu pointed at Banggeng's belly and smiled: "You just ate our watermelon, and now you're holding our cantaloupe, you have to pay us back a little."

"Ah!!"

Banggeng exclaimed in surprise, looked at Li Xuewu in disbelief, looked at the watermelon peel on the table, and finally looked at the cantaloupe in his hand, and was about to send it to Xu Si's hand.

"Grandpa Xu, you'd better take it back, I can't afford to eat this melon!"

"Hahahaha~"

The crowd looked at this big fat child and laughed even more happily.

Xu Si didn't take Banggeng's cantaloupe, but smiled and gestured to Li Xuewu's direction, saying: "You returned the cantaloupe, how are you going to return the watermelon to your Wu Shu?"

"This..."

Banggeng was also hesitant, looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "Wu Shu, do you need watermelon juice?"

"Hahahaha~"

"Hehe"

Li Xuewu didn't wait for the crowd to finish laughing, smiled lightly and glared at Banggeng: "Hurry up, put it on the account, if you're late, I'll beat you into watermelon juice."

"Hey!"

Banggeng also knew these adults were teasing him; now he didn't say he would return the cantaloupe to Xu Si, and ran toward the reception house holding it.

The crowd saw his mischievous appearance, and the smiles on their faces never stopped.

People in the swimming pool all looked at that little black fat kid with envious gazes.

Banggeng had been playing in the swimming pool for these few days, and he was tanned, so he was a little black fat kid.

Just now, the leaders asked him to buy cigarettes; those who were close heard it, and they wished they could climb ashore and ask Li Xuewu to buy them.

What money or not, who would dare ask the leader for money at this time!

Are you stupid!

Letting the leader owe you money is the right truth; this isn't money owed, it's human relationship! A Security Section chief, a Factory Office director, both division-level cadres; how big must this human relationship be, and it was all wasted by that little black fat kid.

They didn't think about it; if this human relationship wasn't because Banggeng was a child, it wouldn't have fallen on him.

Besides, who would dare say that the cigarettes they bought would be smoked by these leaders.

Li Xuewu's words were more useful than money; only the cigarettes they got from the reception house would they smoke, because this was also a human relationship for everyone.

It was just that this human relationship was relatively obscure; they wouldn't say it out, wouldn't brag everywhere Li Kezhang Guoqi because he drank Li Xuewu's wine.

"Hey~ it's only been a few days~"

Wei Zai, the division chief of the Party Committee Department, looked at the melon on the table and said: "This is a taste sent to our table from the frontier after thousands of hardships and thousands of miles; no one mentions it?"

Li Xuewu glanced at Wei Zai without saying a word; Xu Si took the initiative to pick up the topic.

"Division Chief Wei, this melon fruit stays in the stomach for at most one night; even if it stays overnight, you won't remember if you ate it or not."

Xu Si's explanation was very disgusting, but it was the truth, and it also made everyone at the scene frown secretly.

"This melon fruit is hard work, but who is it hard for? Isn't it our own family in the steel mill?"

Xu Si knocked on the table and said: "Our own people eat it and know how to say it's hard work, but some people eat it? Who knows who you are?"

Wei Zai glanced at Xu Si, and then looked at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu sat there without speaking, and had no special attitude.

Several people tried to test him several times, but didn't make him open his mouth, until Fu Linfang walked over with two boxes of cigarettes.

"Hello leaders, hello Director Li."

Fu Linfang first greeted the leaders who had stopped talking, then spoke to Li Xuewu.

"Director Qin is managing the child, so she asked me to send the cigarettes over."

"Hmm, was Banggeng beaten?"

Li Xuewu reached out and took the cigarettes from Fu Linfang's hand, asking a question.

Fu Linfang took back the hand holding the cigarettes, tidied the hair blown by the wind by her ear, and answered with a smile: "No, just scolded, barefoot is dangerous."

"Hehe~ and you, how is work at the reception house, have you adapted?"

Li Xuewu laughed lightly, and the topic turned from Banggeng to Fu Linfang.

This was something the crowd around didn't expect, and it was also something Fu Linfang didn't expect.

She was temporarily signaled by Qin Huairu to come here, and had no preparation for being watched and cared for by these leaders.

Fu Linfang was also stunned for a moment, then answered: "Adapted very well, the work environment here is very suitable for me, thank you Director Li, thank you Division Chief Wei."

Wei Zai looked at Fu Linfang with a smile; his impression of this college student was still stuck in the Service Division, a very quiet, very cautious female student, just that the path was a bit crooked.

He didn't know how she got crooked to the reception house, and crooked to Li Xuewu's side.

Especially when Li Xuewu said he wanted to ask for a relationship for her to solve the actual position problem, he was still thinking if there were any complicated situations here.

Looking at it now, this college student is truly remarkable, not in vain for the training, and even less in vain for eating that hardship.

Everyone says Li Xuewu is accurate in seeing people, and even more accurate in using people; looking at it now, this statement is truly not false, even such people can be utilized, which is truly admirable.

He didn't speak here, Li Xuewu raised the cigarettes in his hand and said: "Gratitude cannot be said with the mouth; come with something practical, go back and pay for these two boxes of cigarettes, we each have one box, consider it as paying back the human relationship."

While talking, he threw a box of cigarettes toward Wei Zai; Wei Zai caught it, opened the cigarettes, distributed them to everyone, and said with a smile: "My human relationship is truly practical, and I can still smoke it."

Fu Linfang was also stunned; she didn't expect Li Xuewu would say this, and even more understood that Li Xuewu was reducing pressure for her and maintaining her face.

These two boxes of cigarettes had already been recorded in Director Li's account by Director Qin, and Director Li had deposited money here.

Now saying this, he was using his own money to help her solve the human relationship.

Not to mention the impression of Li Xuewu in the past, and not to mention the last time Li Xuewu helped her solve the work problem, just this time, Fu Linfang truly felt that Li Xuewu's image in her heart had reached the highest point.

Li Xuewu lit a cigarette for himself, handed the lighter in his hand to the stunned Fu Linfang, and gestured to the few people around.

Fu Linfang hurriedly took it with her hand, then reacted; Li Xuewu was letting her light cigarettes for these division chiefs.

Fu Linfang hurriedly took it with her hand, and only then did she realize that Li Xuewu was asking her to light cigarettes for these division chiefs.
