Chapter 704: Liar, liar, big liar!

~35 min read 6,937 words

"So, go home and take revenge on your brother."

Jing Yunong said with a smile, then picked up the teacup to drink tea, but found that the teacup was empty.

Li Xue saw the Deputy Factory Director's action, hurriedly took the thermos from the tea cabinet, walked over, and refilled the teacup with hot water.

Jing Yunong looked at Li Xue's action, and the gaze in her eyes became more and more satisfied.

She now understood a bit why Li Xuewu wanted to use a "raw hand" and cultivate a secretary himself; the person taught was reassuring and easy to use.

After Li Xue put down the thermos and returned, Jing Yunong asked half-seriously and half-jokingly: "Didn't your eldest brother teach you these?"

"It's my second brother."

Li Xue explained softly while tidying up the things on the table: "Li Xuewu is my second brother; my eldest brother is a teacher at Huaxin University."

After explaining, Li Xue looked at Jing Yunong and said again: "My second brother doesn't teach me this; he only talks about principles."

Jing Yunong nodded and didn't talk about Li Xuewu anymore, but looked at Li Xue and asked: "Any trouble letting you come here to work?"

Li Xue looked toward the Deputy Factory Director, her eyes slightly hesitant. She didn't know if the Deputy Factory Director was sincere or testing her.

She answered Jing Yunong's questions very cautiously all afternoon, including the ones she just asked.

She was very surprised when Director Xu talked to her in the morning. How could she be sent out just by sending a document?

She had only come here for a few days, and she didn't know what to do, especially when Director Xu said that the work was no different, only the division of work was different, and so on.

When she and Fu Ruchen handed over, she clearly saw the other party's astonishment and disappointment. She also heard it when she went to the canteen for lunch. The Deputy Factory Director's original secretary went to support the Steel Mill.

This support was really far, thousands of miles away, which showed how "valued" he was by the Deputy Factory Director.

It was also when she went to lunch that Li Xue discovered that some people in the canteen were pointing at her, as if they were discussing something about her.

She knew what they were discussing, nothing more than her being transferred to be a secretary for the leader.

Although Peng Xiaoli explained the three secretary positions to her a few days ago and said that their status was equal, although the work was different, the positions were the same.

But she could still see from Peng Xiaoli's gaze his expectation for the leader's secretary work. Perhaps the things taught by the leader this afternoon were more useful and more cherished, so many people yearned for this job.

She was considered to have arrived first, so how could she not be talked about?

"Not being envied is being mediocre."

Jing Yunong couldn't tell what Li Xue was hesitating about, and said this very understandingly.

Then she heard the music from the factory broadcast station, and the bell for getting off work also rang. She stood up and said to Li Xue: "The government office is like this. Don't worry about those idle gossip; do your own things well."

"Including those rumors you heard, they will all affect your judgment and interpretation of things, you know?"

"Have your own judgment, use your eyes to see, use your ears to listen, use your heart to think. Not all cognition is true, and not all negation is false."

"Understood."

Li Xue nodded, indicating she understood the Deputy Factory Director's words.

Although she couldn't judge the purpose of the Deputy Factory Director transferring her to be a secretary, and even less knew whether the Deputy Factory Director was caring for her or testing her by doing so.

But the Deputy Factory Director's words still made sense, and she was remembering and thinking about them seriously.

Jing Yunong took the leather bag handed by Li Xue, patted her arm, and said: "Everyone has the experience of participating in work for the first time, and everyone has the experience of taking responsibility for the first time. Be brave."

"Thank you, leader."

Li Xue nodded, also took her bag, and followed behind the Deputy Factory Director downstairs.

Along the way, she met many people who greeted the Deputy Factory Director, and these people who greeted also nodded and greeted her at the same time. This was the first time she enjoyed the attention brought by power. Although she was a bit uncomfortable, she still tried to straighten her back and politely returned the greetings of these people.

Jing Yunong was extremely satisfied with Li Xue's basic quality. This looked like a girl cultivated and educated by a particularly high-quality family, and she was a good seedling for university.

But looking at Li Xue, she couldn't help but think of the person who had made her fail repeatedly. They were all children from the same family, so why was the gap so big!

The one walking by her side was gentle and elegant, quiet and dignified; the one opposite the building was sinister and cunning, didn't talk about martial arts. Comparing the two, it was truly incredible.

Downstairs, Jing Yunong just saw Wang Jingzhang and Peng Yonghong of the working group going to the reception. The flattering look made her feel sick.

She glanced at that side, turned her head back to look at Li Xue by her side, and asked: "How did you come?"

"Riding a bike."

Li Xue replied with a smile, and at the same time waved to the Deputy Factory Director and said goodbye to the leader.

Jing Yunong looked at Li Xue who was still a bit childish with amusement, especially watching her standing on the steps and waving goodbye to her, as if she were standing at the door of her home sending her off.

"Get in the car. If there is a car, don't sit, but walk to the door."

Jing Yunong saw that the driver had already gotten off to help her open the car door, so she signaled Li Xue and got in the car.

The driver was also a bit stunned. He knew that the leader had changed secretaries, but how could she be like a little girl, playing with waving goodbye to the leader?

Especially this kind of work of opening the car door, it used to be done by that kid Fu Ruchen. If he did it, he would be choked by him once.

Now it was good, no one was fighting with him, because this new secretary seemed to know nothing, and was still waiting for him to open the car door for her.

However, the driver was not young, thirty-something, and seeing Li Xue looked kind, he didn't care.

Just about to close the rear car door and go to open the front passenger seat, he was called by the Deputy Factory Director, signaling Li Xue to sit in the back seat.

The driver looked at Li Xue again, and his gaze was a bit surprised. Was this a relationship household of the leader?

He was in the small car class, and the news was relatively blocked. He hadn't found out who the Deputy Factory Director's secretary was, but looking at it, the relationship background wasn't simple.

The driver was still hearing for the first time that the secretary sat in the back with the leader. Strange.

After the car started, he heard the Deputy Factory Director in the back say: "From tomorrow, first go to 99 Nanluoguxiang to pick up Secretary Li, then come to pick me up."

After finishing, she said to Li Xue: "Get up early in the morning, prepare our day's itinerary, determine it in the car, and then remind me at any time, and also note the things that were done today but not finished, and need to continue tomorrow."

The driver looked at the leader in the back tirelessly guiding the secretary, and determined in his heart that this new secretary must be a relationship household, and a big relationship household. He had never seen Deputy Factory Director Jing speak to anyone with such a relaxed attitude.

And there was also that the secretary's work was all learned first to serve the leader. He was also hearing for the first time that the leader directly taught the secretary how to do it.

The small sedan arrived at the factory gate, let Li Xue off, and only then drove out of the gate.

And Li Xue who got off the car was naturally concerned by the people getting off work again, all discussing who the girl who got off Deputy Factory Director Jing's car was.

The entertainment life at this time was extremely scarce, and going to work was even more boring to death, which led to the soil for people to love watching the fun and love chatting about idle topics.

Seeing Li Xue come out pushing that bicycle with a dynamo light, others didn't recognize it, but the people in the Security Department still recognized it.

Those who knew Li Xue said to each other, and they all knew that this was the leader's sister.

This bicycle looked brand new. Li Xuewu hadn't ridden it for many days in total. It was even more miserable when it reached Li Xue here, breaking the usage record.

Two days, Li Xue only rode it for two days and announced that this bicycle had gloriously retired.

And when she got home, the people in the west courtyard's inverted room were also looking at her bicycle with strange gazes.

Sha Zhu came back first and had already "publicized" the news of Li Xue's "progress," so no one in the inverted room didn't know, even the big green horse heard it.

Sha Zhu was happy for Li Xue, and also felt that this news was too shocking, so he told it as news.

And their topic didn't know how, slowly shifted from the angle of Li Xue's progress to that bicycle.

It was as if this was a bicycle with magic, and those who used it could make progress.

Li Xuewu used it for a few days and was promoted three levels in a row, and Li Xue just used it and had a "thunder on the flat ground."

Good fellow, Sha Zhu turned around the bicycle Li Xue had just put away. He had been looking at the position of canteen director for a long time!

Sha Zhu's status in the canteen was unquestionable, and his efforts were enough, and his age and seniority were also enough, but he had never had the opportunity to replace old Guo.

Now he seemed to know what he was missing!

Ability + effort + seniority, if you add a little bit of luck, could it be done!

Yushui looked at her brother who turned around that bicycle several times, and the look in her brother's eyes. She felt that what her brother was missing wasn't luck, but brains.

Everyone smiled and congratulated Li Xue, and Li Xue also thanked everyone somewhat embarrassedly.

Because of Li Xuewu's relationship, Li Xue was like everyone's sister. The little sister achieved results, and everyone was happy.

Li Xue didn't have much contact with the people in the inverted room on weekdays, and didn't have much time to chat. Saying she was a bookworm wasn't appropriate, but the time she spent reading at home was indeed more than the time she went out.

Now that she was participating in work, she understood the feelings of these people gathering together, which was much more comfortable than the people in the government office.

When Li Xuewu's jeep stopped at the gate of the west courtyard, Li Xue had already gone home, and the people in the courtyard were still laughing and making noise, and Sha Zhu's gaze didn't leave that car.

"What are you doing, so lively?"

Li Xuewu first let Han Jiankun send Sha Qizhi away, then followed him to pick up Gu Ning, the eldest brother, and Wu Laoshi.

At this time, Gu Ning, the eldest brother, and Wu Laoshi followed him in, making everyone's gaze look over.

Sha Zhu walked over and pulled Li Xuewu and asked: "Are you selling this car? Sell it to me at a suitable price."

Li Xuewu hung his eyes and looked at Sha Zhu, asking: "Are you sick?"

"What disease do I have!"

Sha Zhu straightened his waist and signaled the car: "Anyway, Li Xue doesn't ride it anymore. She is picked up and dropped off by car from now on, so isn't this car idle? What if it breaks? I'm thinking for you!"

"Don't need you!"

Li Xuewu looked at Sha Zhu with amusement, then asked Yushui standing at the screen door: "What's wrong with your brother?"

"Sick."

Yushui rolled her eyes, folded her hands on her chest, curled her lips and said: "Heart disease, hysterical, wants to make progress."

"Are you making progress, or don't want to walk!"

Li Xuewu looked at the eldest brother Xuewen, smiled and greeted a few people, then took Gu Ning and Wu Laoshi to the courtyard. He himself chatted with a few people in the west courtyard and shared cigarettes, lighting them for each other.

It was rare to see Li Xuewu on Monday. Except for those who were busy, everyone squatted at the gate of the west courtyard and chatted.

There weren't many people today. The store department was already boarding up. Old Da and Second Master saw Li Xuewu was there, and both came over to take cigarettes.

Sha Zhu actually didn't smoke, but everyone smoked, so he also took one and was still asking if this car was for sale.

Li Xuewu was too lazy to pay attention to him, and it wasn't that he couldn't live, so he needed to sell things?

He had a concept that objects for supporting the family couldn't be sold easily; horses were, and cars were too.

After smoking two puffs, Sha Zhu told the reason for wanting to buy the car. It turned out he was aiming for luck.

Li Xuewu couldn't laugh or cry and hammered him, saying directly: "Go to the temple and pray, it's more reliable. To struggle with a car, you really have yours."

Sha Zhu smoked and smiled and said: "Old Guo is looking for trouble again. Maybe one day I'll knock him down and go up myself."

"You?"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "How many people does this Steel Mill lack, and how unlucky does the position of canteen director have to be to be your turn? Do you know what a fat job means?"

"I think he is quite fat."

Sha Zhu muttered fiercely, obviously because some "uneven distribution of spoils" caused idle anger.

They were all in one department. If the relationship wasn't good, it was mostly for this reason. He had it and you didn't, looking down on each other.

Li Xuewu and the others chatted at the door for a while and then went to the courtyard.

Today was the Dragon Boat Festival, a reunion day, and also Li Shu's birthday. Li Xuewu held a birthday party for his daughter in the inverted room, using this name to gather everyone together.

Now added Li Xue's career progress, it was considered a triple happiness.

Li family's whole family, the few families in the inverted room, including Sha Zhu's family of three, sat full in the room, and Li Shu was even more excited, laughing and shouting with everyone.

Sha Zhu came back early today specially to take the ladle. When Li Xuewu and the others entered the courtyard, the food was ready, just waiting for everyone to arrive before cooking.

Dozens of people in a room squeezed at the table, and the kitchen started to serve dishes. The boys had grown taller in the past six months, and their hands had strength, and they were steady when serving plates.

Old Biaozi and Sha Zhu's duo held wine glasses and toasted everyone one by one, celebrating the good life in the first half of this year and celebrating this rare reunion day.

Li Xue learned how to take photos with her second sister-in-law, took the camera Li Xuewu bought last time and took several photos of Li Shu, and took several photos of the excitement of everyone in the room.

After the meal, they chatted for a while, and everyone dispersed.

Taking advantage of sending herself out the door, Wu Laoshi asked Li Xuewu the words she had endured and endured but couldn't help asking.

"Section Chief Li, can you help me contact my husband? I miss him very much."

Wu Laoshi was about to cry, but endured the emotion. Today was the Dragon Boat Festival, and every family was reunited, but she could only watch others reunite, inevitably feeling sad in her heart.

Li Xuewu nodded very understandingly and said: "Whatever you have to say, I will do it as much as possible."

Wu Laoshi saw Li Xuewu say this and was very moved: "Thank you, it's already very troublesome for you. But I'm here, and my husband can't come back. He must be very worried about me. I'm afraid he will do impulsive things."

"If we can talk, it's best. If we can't talk, letters are fine. I just want him not to have an accident, and tell him I'm fine."

Wu Shufang understood that it was impossible to go out now. Although she was in the supervision center, she ate in the canteen, could hear the idle talk of those supervisors, and could see the newspaper.

It had only been a few days, but the situation was becoming more and more severe. She didn't even have the courage to step out of the supervision center gate.

She wasn't afraid of anything, but she still had children and couldn't be careless.

Proposing to contact her husband was also because she was worried about her husband and afraid that her husband would worry about her.

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "This is as it should be. I understand this kind of request very well, but the communication situation with the outside is not very good now. We have to wait for an opportunity."

After finishing, he touched his face, thought for a while, and said again: "You can write the letter first. If there is an opportunity, I will entrust someone to bring it over."

After finishing this, Li Xuewu also instructed: "Because it can't go through the post, please note your husband's detailed information on the cover, which is also convenient for him to find."

"Good, good~"

Wu Laoshi excitedly wiped away the tears that didn't know when they fell, took out the letter she had prepared long ago from the small bag she carried, and handed it to Li Xuewu.

"My husband's surname is Lai, called Lai Jiasheng. We have a house in Hong Kong. You can go there to find him. I have noted the address. Thank you."

"Don't be like this."

Li Xuewu looked at the eldest sister-in-law beside him, signaling her to help Wu Laoshi who was bowing slightly to thank him.

Zhao Yafang had been listening on the side without speaking. Seeing that they had finished talking, she opened her mouth to persuade Wu Shufang: "Can't have heart fire, it's not good for the children, be more open-minded."

As she spoke, she nodded to Li Xuewu, sent Wu Shufang back, and said while walking: "You are fine now, and Teacher Lai is outside..."

Watching the two walk away, Li Xuewu took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and stood at the screen door smoking.

The old lady took Li Shu and Liu Yin to follow Gu Ning to the backyard, saying she was going to call Li Shun on the mountain.

Sha Zhu and Old Biaozi and the others made an appointment to play cards in the west room, saying they were lucky because of the wine and could win money.

Shen Guodong was a person who loved people. After cleaning up here, watching Old Biaozi and the others being lively, he took Chen Xiaoyan and Wang Yamei back.

Actually, Wang Yamei wanted to stay a while longer. She liked liveliness the most, and liked the atmosphere of the inverted room even more.

But it was dark now, she didn't dare to go home alone, and was embarrassed to let Shen Guodong and Chen Xiaoyan stay a while longer.

At this time, she glanced at Li Xuewu who was smoking at the screen door, and still left reluctantly.

"Second Brother."

The liveliness dispersed. The boys were cleaning up the east room, preparing to read and study. They knew the importance of time better than anyone else.

Li Xue walked out from the hanging flower gate again, looked at her second brother and called out.

Li Xuewu smiled and asked: "What's wrong? Didn't go to the backyard to call Dad?"

Li Xue shook her head slightly, raised her head to look at her second brother, and asked hesitantly: "I... am I making it difficult for you?"

"What?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, looked at his sister and asked with amusement: "Why ask like this? How did you make it difficult for me?"

"It's... it's about me being... being her secretary..."

Li Xue hesitated for a moment, but still voiced the torment in her heart; she had been holding it in all night and had not found an opportunity to talk to her second brother about this issue.

She wanted to mention Deputy Factory Director Jing, but was afraid of making him unhappy.

Li Xuewu looked at his sister and didn't answer this question immediately, but asked a question first: "How does it feel? Being her secretary."

The brother and sister didn't mention who "she" was, but both understood in their hearts who they were asking about.

Li Xue pursed her lips. The head she lowered nervously after asking was raised now. She looked at her second brother's expression, wanting to see if her second brother was angry.

But at this time, there was a layer of smoke on her second brother's face. What was concretized was the smoke he exhaled, and what was abstract was that her second brother had a layer of disguise that appeared involuntarily when talking about work.

Even those old oily guys in the Steel Mill couldn't understand Li Xuewu, let alone Li Xue who was just starting out.

Li Xue had only been there for a few days, and she had heard people talking about her second brother behind his back no less than a few times.

There were good and bad, and also simple comments, but there were also strange ones.

For example, the old oily guys mentioned by Peng Xiaoli all said that her second brother was the old oily guy, and he was old.

At this time, she also gave up observing her second brother's face to judge whether he was angry, and said directly: "It's okay~"

After saying this, she was afraid that her second brother would feel she was perfunctory, so she added: "She didn't let the original secretary teach me, nor did she let anyone else teach me, but she taught me herself."

When she said this, Li Xue raised her head to look at Li Xuewu and said: "I can feel that she is teaching me these things very seriously, and there is no impatience or anger toward me."

"Her personality is relatively impulsive."

Li Xuewu smoked a puff, nodded to confirm his sister's words, and also made an evaluation of his impression of Jing Yunong.

Li Xue also nodded and said: "I heard her reprimanding the secretary, reprimanding Section Chief Wang, it was still quite serious."

"Otherwise?"

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and said: "She is a Deputy Factory Director, a Deputy Factory Director in charge of personnel and finance, and also manages the Service Office with a particularly large number of people. Who do you think she is, a Section Chief?"

After finishing, he reached out and hugged his sister's shoulder, walking slowly toward the hanging flower gate, talking while smoking.

"In this world, no one will be good to you for no reason, and no one will be bad to you for no reason. Even parents are good to you because you are their child."

"Now that you have stepped onto the work post and become a clerk, you have to face more people and more things, and you have to learn more principles and knowledge."

"Everyone and everything will be your teacher. Regardless of good or bad, you must have your own thinking and ideas, and have your own principles and methods of doing things..."

"She also said this~"

Li Xue was hugged under her brother's arm. Hearing her second brother say this, she also raised her head to look at her second brother and said: "She also said to use eyes to see, use ears to..."

The brother and sister walked very slowly, but said a lot. In the eyes of people in the courtyard, it seemed like Banggeng was playing with Xiaodang.

At most, they would just sigh at how Li Xuewu and his sister were both so grown up yet still walked with their arms around each other's shoulders; more often, they would recall the past events between their own siblings when they were young.

Walking to the door of the backyard, Li Xuewu stopped, looked at Li Xue and said earnestly: "I am me, you are you. At home, we are brother and sister; at the unit, we are colleagues. Do what you should do, don't care about what others say, think for yourself, what should be done."

"Then..."

Li Xue also looked at her second brother earnestly and asked: "If you are opposite?"

"What if~ hehe~"

Li Xuewu heard his sister ask so implicitly, couldn't help but pat his sister's shoulder, and also teased her.

Seeing Li Xue also smile, he said earnestly again: "Remember, whether it is the Steel Mill or life, there are no eternal enemies, and no eternal friends."

Li Xuewu's expression was very subtle as he withdrew his hand from his sister's shoulder and said: "And don't believe what others say. They say I am opposite to so-and-so, but when have you seen your second brother argue with others, opposite to others?"

"They are all problems of ideology, contradictions of opinions in work, and have nothing to do with individuals."

"Understood."

Li Xue really understood what her second brother said. From the way back from the front yard, what her second brother told her, and what she said, she had been thinking in her heart.

Where is there any opposition? It was clearly a natural conflict of levels, a natural contradiction of positions, and a deeper expression was the conflict of fundamental interests.

Since she understood the main contradiction between her second brother and Deputy Factory Director Jing, she knew how to get along between the two.

Li Xuewu saw his sister was smart, smiled, and took her into the room.

"Called Dad?"

"Just hung up."

Liu Yin smiled and looked at her children, and said to Li Xue: "Your father is praising you, you have more promise than the three brothers."

"Not at all~"

Although Li Xue was learning to be like an adult, she was still a child who couldn't grow up in front of her mother.

Li Xuewu also wanted to be a child who couldn't grow up, but Li Shu standing on the kang was about to grow up, pointing her little finger at the little aunt in grandma's arms to stay away, that was her grandma.

In terms of jealousy, Li Shu was very selective. Only grandma and great-grandmother would care whether others were fighting with her for hugs.

Li Xue saw the little one's barbarism and deliberately teased her, hugging mother Liu Yin and not letting go.

This made Li Shu angry and stomped her feet by the kang.

She was small, and had just learned to walk, so she couldn't stand steadily. Even with Gu Ning watching on the side, it looked dangerous to others.

Liu Yin laughed and pushed her daughter away, walked over and hugged Li Shu and smiled: "Don't hug her, hug my big grandson, my big grandson is good with grandma, right."

"Mm."

The little devil was sensible at this time. When Liu Yin asked, she nodded and agreed, her little hand hugging Liu Yin's neck and not letting go.

People in the room watched Li Xue teasing Li Shu again, and Li Shu went to hit the little aunt impatiently. The two teased everyone in the room to laugh.

Li Xuewu looked at the time on the wall, and signaled Gu Ning to call Yangcheng. At this time, the father-in-law and mother-in-law should have free time.

Gu Ning also glanced at the time, and only then walked to the living room with Li Xuewu to hang up the phone to Yangcheng.

Perhaps because of the holiday, the phone was connected for a long time before it was connected. It was the mother-in-law who answered, obviously waiting for the phone from here.

The phone call between mother and daughter was very interesting. It was Ding Fengxia who was talking, and Gu Ning who was listening, responding from time to time.

Li Shu was carried by grandma and turned around in the room. Seeing Ba Ba Da Mama sitting together talking to that thing, she became curious and reached out her little hand to grab it.

Liu Yin smiled and handed Li Shu to Li Xuewu who was going to take her, watching her son hug Li Shu and lean to the phone to join in the fun, and couldn't help laughing again.

Li Shu heard it. Hearing someone talking in this black thing, she was too surprised. What is this~

Gu Ning put the receiver to Li Shu's ear to let her listen, and Li Shu heard it more clearly.

"Ya!"

Li Shu listened for a few sentences and shouted loudly. She was so surprised that she stared with big eyes and looked at Da Mama incomprehensibly. How did she put Grandma in this thing!

Ding Fengxia on the other end of the phone also heard Li Shu's shout and greeted with a smile: "Who is it, little Li Shu~ Miss Grandma~"

"Ya! Ru ah~"

Li Shu didn't understand, and also learned the appearance of Da Mama just talking on the phone and started talking to the phone. No one knew what she was saying, and Ding Fengxia and Gu Haitao on the other end of the phone were happy to hear it.

Li Shu "talked" to Grandma for a long time before being hugged away by Da Mama, and Li Xuewu took the phone.

"Mom, are you and Dad okay?"

Li Xuewu was more able to talk than Gu Ning, and had things to say and chat with his mother-in-law.

Ding Fengxia was also willing to talk more with her son-in-law. It was tiring for her to talk alone.

Li Xuewu smiled and introduced the party tonight, and also talked about the situation at home. Everyone was at home tonight.

Also introduced that mother was also there, invited mother to talk with mother-in-law for a while, and only then instructed mother-in-law and father-in-law to pay more attention to their health and maintenance.

Ding Fengxia let Gu Haitao answer the phone. Gu Haitao also just said a few words to Li Xuewu on the phone, all of which were family matters, and didn't talk about work and other things.

Both sides of the phone were relatively cautious about this. Whether it was Li Xuewu or Gu Haitao, they understood that at their level, their relationship, the phone would definitely be recorded, so there was no need to say so much.

But from the situation where Gu Haitao, who was used to being silent, said so many words to Li Xuewu, he also knew his concern and care for Li Xuewu and Gu Ning.

Li Xuewu also understood the father-in-law's worry and care, and told him that everything was fine here and he could take care of it by talking about some interesting things in life between him and Gu Ning.

Tuesday morning was very lively. Those who went to work early in the Sihe Academy all saw a novelty.

A red and white Warsaw sedan stopped at the gate of the Sihe Academy, and then a 212 jeep followed and drove in.

The two cars met as if they were very surprised, not much less surprised than the Sihe Academy side, including the neighbors in the hutong.

Sha Qizhi recognized this car, the factory's brand, this color, it must be Deputy Factory Director Jing's car.

After Han Jiankun parked the car, Sha Qizhi jumped out of the car and waved to the driver in the Warsaw car.

"Wait a moment, I'm going in, and by the way, I'll call you."

"That's good, thank you."

The driver was also very surprised to run into Deputy Section Chief Li's car here, and even more surprised to see Deputy Section Chief Li's secretary helping him.

Hey, this courtyard is really cow, two... hm?

The driver thought of this and felt a bit wrong. The new secretary the leader changed wouldn't be Deputy Section Chief Li's relationship, right?

No!

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

The driver just thought of a beginning and shook his head to extinguish this idea, and also mocked himself for being stupid.

Others didn't know, didn't he know what state the leader he served was in with Deputy Section Chief Li?

To put it bluntly, it was that although Deputy Section Chief Li stood in a low position, he slapped Deputy Factory Director Jing's face several times in succession.

What kind of behavior is this? What kind of hatred is this? Could the leader use Deputy Section Chief Li's relatives?

He thought so, but his eyes felt a bit inappropriate with his brain, so the following scene slapped his brain a few times, directly making his brain confused.

What did he see!

Deputy Section Chief Li first sent away a woman driving a Willys carrying an old lady holding a child, and then brought out the girl who was sitting in her car yesterday.

Don't say the driver couldn't believe it, even the neighbors couldn't believe it. Li Xuewu was a Deputy Section Chief, and being able to sit in a jeep was cow enough.

But when seeing Li Xue get into that Warsaw, they felt Li Xue was even more cow!

Looking at the two cars leaving one after another, everyone only then came back to their senses, couldn't help but hiss and suck in cold air. Did the Li family's ancestral grave smoke green smoke?!

The brother and sister went to work one by one, and it was even more cow than the other. This brother and sister were cow to the extreme.

Seeing Li Xue holding Li Xuewu's same black handbag, wearing Li Xuewu's same black and white official suit and leather shoes, and organizing her hairstyle into an adult look, how could these people not know that Li Xue was working.

Thinking back to a few days ago when they asked Li Xuewu how he arranged his sister Li Xue, how did this big liar say it?!

"Liar, liar, big liar!"

Among those standing here watching, the Third Master's resentment was the deepest. He said Li Xue was working, but Li Xuewu said she wasn't, staring and talking nonsense!

Don't ask, when he comes back next week and asks about Li Xue, he will definitely have other excuses, but the result is still that she didn't work.

This is a liar. Before, this kid was like this. Thinking he grew up and changed, learned well, and became a cadre, how could he still talk nonsense?

Now he knows, Li Xuewu did change, did grow up, and became a big liar!

The one who felt cheated was also Jing Yunong's driver. He had looked at the new secretary sitting in the back seat more than once from the rearview mirror.

On the way to drive the car to Deputy Factory Director Jing's house, he also doubted his IQ and eyes more than once.

I am so stupid!

Still in the small car class, why was I so naive and really believed the words in the government office.

Yes, who said the rumors in the government office must be true, and who could say that Deputy Section Chief Li and Deputy Factory Director Jing were opposite?

The two had no intersection in work, and no one had ever seen the two argue. Without evidence, it really made him and everyone feel that this matter was true.

And after the

The two had no intersection in their work, and even less had anyone seen them arguing; with no proof or evidence, it actually made him, like everyone else, feel as if this matter were true.

Afterwards, the Warsaw car arrived at Vice Factory Director Jing's house. The driver wanted to remind this Secretary Li to go and invite the leader, but he had just turned around when he saw that the secretary had already gotten out of the car.

Li Xue followed the way she had seen her second brother's former secretary, Sha Qizhi, pick up her second brother every day, and went to pick up Vice Factory Director Jing.

Vice Factory Director Jing lived in the Steel Ministry family quarters; this was where she and her husband were allocated housing, so they did not go to live in the Steel Rolling Factory's leadership family area.

The floors here were all the same, six stories high, and the area of each unit was not small. Just like those family quarters seen in later generations, at this time, this type of housing was relatively high-end.

Li Xue found the place according to the house number she had noted down yesterday. After ringing the doorbell, she saw that it was Vice Factory Director Jing who opened the door for her.

Vice Factory Director Jing was also already prepared. Seeing her, she nodded without deliberate intimacy, simply handed her bag over, and then took her downstairs together.

Back in the car, Li Xue placed the leader's bag together with her own, took out her notebook, and began to coordinate with Vice Factory Director Jing on the content she had requested yesterday.

This was her first day doing secretarial work; how could she have her own arrangements? It was all Vice Factory Director Jing speaking while she recorded.

This would also be a beginning. Starting from today, coming again tomorrow, it would be her coordinating work with Vice Factory Director Jing.

It is usually the secretary who "directs" the leader; how could the leader direct the secretary?

Although still green, although stumbling, and although slightly flustered, Li Xue's secretarial journey, just like getting into this car this morning, had set sail.

The Warsaw car entered the factory gate, slowed down amidst the saluting gestures of the gate guards, sounded its horn softly, and then drove toward the office area.

When the vehicle stopped steadily in front of the office building, it was still the driver who opened the car door for the leader.

Because Li Xue had opened the car door from one side to get out and then casually closed it, it gave the driver a heart-stopping fright.

And Vice Factory Director Jing, whose expression was somewhat amused, did not say anything to Secretary Li after getting out, which made the driver feel even more that he had stumbled upon a massive secret.

Li Xue was holding two bags and didn't even realize what she had just done; after the leader got out, she followed along, looking just like a little follower.

The agency staff constantly walking into the building on the entrance steps greeted Vice Factory Director Jing frequently when they encountered her, and Li Xue also followed tightly behind the leader, as if she were about to get lost.

Once back in the office, she followed Vice Factory Director Jing's instructions, doing things one by one, not seeking speed, but only seeking to do each thing well.

This serious attitude also made Jing Yunong very satisfied; young people are bound to make mistakes during the learning process, which is human nature, so she just needed to teach her slowly.

There was plenty of time~

Jing Yunong also glanced at the building across the way, the meaning in her eyes very distant, as if she were looking at the opposite side, and yet as if she were not.

Just as Li Xue was busy, Peng Xiaoli knocked on the door and walked in.

"Leader, the documents for this morning."

Peng Xiaoli first greeted Vice Factory Director Jing, but did not directly place the documents in his hand onto the desk; instead, he looked into Vice Factory Director Jing's eyes, waiting for her signal.

This type of work coordination should be done with the leader's secretary, but now that Li Xue had just taken over the work, he was unsure of Vice Factory Director Jing's intentions, or whether she trusted Li Xue, who was serving as secretary for the first day.
