Chapter 705: Copying Homework

"Let me do it."

Li Xue did not wait for Deputy Factory Director Jing to express her stance; instead, she put down the documents in her hand and took the initiative to meet Peng Xiaoli, who had just entered.

Seeing that Deputy Factory Director Jing was looking down at the documents in her hand and ignoring him, Peng Xiaoli knew the leader's intent.

"I've sorted the categories for you."

Peng Xiaoli smiled at Li Xue, said this in a low voice, and then placed the documents in his hand onto Li Xue's desk, which was leaning against the wall.

After receiving a smiling response and a word of thanks from Li Xue, Peng Xiaoli gently patted the top of the document stack and turned to leave.

Receiving the signal from Peng Xiaoli, Li Xue glanced at Deputy Factory Director Jing. Seeing that the leader was still reading the documents, she flipped open the cover of the document folder on top.

Underneath the cover, there was actually a single sheet of paper with quite a bit of text written on it.

Li Xue picked it up with some surprise and read it, her eyes widening involuntarily.

"Be careful of these bad boys."

Just as Li Xue was looking at that sheet of paper, she suddenly heard Deputy Factory Director Jing, who was behind her, say this.

When she turned her head to look at the leader, she discovered that the leader was still maintaining her previous posture, as if she hadn't moved at all, yet she seemed to have insight into everything.

Li Xue pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment. Holding the paper Peng Xiaoli had signaled to her, she wavered, not knowing how to answer the leader's words.

Jing Yunong also didn't speak again until she had finished reading the documents in her hand, signed her name and opinions, and as she set the documents aside, she looked up at Li Xue and asked, "It's not a love letter, is it?"

"No!... It's not~"

Li Xue felt a bit embarrassed by the leader's question, especially given the meaningful smile on Deputy Factory Director Jing's face, which made her feel even more self-conscious.

Seeing Deputy Factory Director Jing curl the corner of her mouth and lower her head to continue reading the documents, Li Xue finally pursed her lips, walked to the side of Jing Yunong's desk, and said softly, "It's... it's about matters in the office."

Jing Yunong looked up at Li Xue, took the sheet of paper Li Xue handed over, and began to read it.

Li Xue didn't know if what she was doing was wrong, and even less did she know if doing this would bring any harm to Peng Xiaoli, but since the leader had already seen it, what else could she do?

At this moment, seeing that Deputy Factory Director Jing didn't say anything because of the content on the paper, but only showed a slight change in expression—looking both disdainful and mocking—she felt a bit relieved.

After Deputy Factory Director Jing finished reading and put the paper back, Li Xue heard the other party say, "Calling them bad boys really isn't an exaggeration."

As she spoke, she tapped the paper lightly with her finger, looked at Li Xue, and said, "This kid is like a loach that bites in the office; his brain turns very fast."

As she spoke, she didn't continue looking at the documents in her hand but explained to Li Xue, "These things are what you need to understand. You are also my ears; you need to help me collect and filter these messages."

"However, there's no rush. These messages are just a pastime for work; you can adapt slowly and learn slowly."

Jing Yunong pursed her lips, paused for a moment, and then continued, "The source of the messages can be from within the office, or even anyone in the factory."

"Of course, since you just arrived and haven't made any friends or connections yet, you can ask him for more advice."

"More directly, you can also go ask Sha Qizhi."

Jing Yunong smiled slightly, glanced at Li Xue, then turned her gaze back to the sheet of paper at hand, saying, "He is taking the initiative to befriend you because he values your current status."

"He sent the things here for you to see, which is also for me to see, for you to remember his favor, and at the same time, he wants to show off in front of me."

When explaining up to this point, Jing Yunong smiled and pointed at Li Xue, saying, "Don't blame him for killing three birds with one stone, being scheming, and even less should you thank him for taking the initiative to provide help. This is the office, and this is an exchange of interests."

"There is no sentiment, let alone friendship."

Jing Yunong pushed the sheet of paper toward Li Xue, then looked at the documents in her hand while saying, "As for what is being exchanged, you will encounter this in your future work. Learn slowly."

"Yes, thank you, leader."

Li Xue picked up the sheet of paper. Now that she looked at it again, she felt much more relaxed and understood much more.

The paper contained some scattered "gossip." Calling it gossip, it was actually quite reliable; otherwise, Peng Xiaoli wouldn't have signaled for Li Xue to see it.

And a particularly major item among these messages was that Deputy Factory Director Li had returned to work.

Yes, after undergoing a series of investigations, Deputy Factory Director Li had resumed work.

The paper said that last night, Deputy Factory Director Li had personally ordered grilled fish and red wine at the guesthouse canteen, and after eating, he rested at the guesthouse.

And this morning, people in the office saw Deputy Factory Director Li taking his secretary, Li Haiyang, back to his office.

This news is too explosive; it is even more shocking than the increasingly numerous big-character posters and the growing pile of denunciation letters posted at the entrance of the working group this morning.

They don't want to care about where those denunciation letters came from right now; they just want to know how Deputy Factory Director Li returned.

Wasn't it agreed that he would surrender himself?!

Wasn't it agreed that there would be an investigation?!

Wasn't it agreed that it was a major case?!

Are you playing with us?!

Is this the ending everyone has been scratching their heads and looking forward to?

They actually wanted to see a shocking turn of events, the working group battling the corrupt element Li Huai De; they wanted to see Deputy Factory Director Li crying and going through the iron bars; they even wanted to see the Factory Director fighting the working group.

Unfortunately, the working group wasn't strong enough, this good show had a poor ending, and Deputy Factory Director Li was back.

It wasn't that the working group wasn't strong enough, nor was it that Deputy Factory Director Li was too capable, but rather that the influence of the Steel Rolling Factory was too great.

With many mid-level cadres opposing it, the Factory Director and the Party Secretary both clearly questioning it, and leaders from above calling to inquire, the working group had no choice but to suspend direct questioning of Li Huai De and change it to a work investigation.

The working group is also feeling wronged; they were indeed planning to do just that, but who told them that Li Huai De came to surrender himself just as they started investigating the denunciation letters?

What was even more infuriating was, if you surrender, have a good attitude about surrendering, okay? Why keep spouting nonsense about work management not being in place, disciplinary requirements not being strict, and execution not being resolute!

Shouldn't these words be what the working group says in their report! Now that you've said them all, what are we supposed to say!

Moreover, these words were just clichés, used when no actual situation could be investigated, yet there were still some problems.

Now that Li Huai De had taken this path first, how was the working group supposed to proceed?

They could only take the path of investigating the actual situation, but the key was that they hadn't investigated anything; they had really only investigated the problems of Li Huai De's work management not being in place, disciplinary requirements not being strict, and execution not being resolute.

Damn it!

It was definitely cheating!

Feng Daozong held a pen in his office, not knowing how to define Li Huai De's matter, and in his anger, he threw the fountain pen in his hand.

If our working group investigates you, and we only investigate these problems that you took the initiative to confess and that others also have, then what does our working group become?

Your repeating machine?

Isn't this just nonsense!

Does the working group still need face? Do I still need face!

Do we still have to issue you a certificate of leniency for confession!

The more Feng Daozong thought about it, the angrier he got, but he still had to face Yang Yuansong, who was entering the room. This Party Secretary of the Steel Rolling Factory was here for a talk regarding the recent work situation of the working group at the Steel Rolling Factory.

Don't look at the fact that the working group was from above; the person in charge of the working group, Feng Daozong, was at the same level as the Party Secretary of the Steel Rolling Factory, Yang Yuansong.

In terms of position, Yang Yuansong naturally had to respect the working group that came from above.

But in terms of ability and seniority, Yang Yuansong could completely ignore him, and even Feng Daozong's investigation at the Steel Rolling Factory had to notify him; otherwise, Yang Yuansong would not support the work of their working group at the Steel Rolling Factory.

This was a very serious political conflict. Feng Daozong was only an office worker in the ministry, not a high-ranking official like Yang Yuansong who governed a region.

After adjusting his mindset and screwing the fountain pen on the table back together, Feng Daozong invited Yang Yuansong, who had entered the room, to sit on the sofa.

Not going to the desk also expressed his definition of today's talk, which should be carried out in a united and friendly atmosphere.

But Yang Yuansong didn't give him much face, because that face had already been given in the past few days; now there were only cold faces.

"Today, I mainly came to talk about the recent investigation situation of the main leading cadres of the Steel Rolling Factory, and to talk about the current work style and methods of the working group."

Yang Yuansong got straight to the point without any nonsense with Feng Daozong.

After confirming that Li Huai De had resumed work, Yang Yuansong also had to draw his sword; he couldn't let the working group act so recklessly anymore.

What they were doing was a weakening of the organization's credibility and influence, and even more so a provocation and questioning of the Steel Rolling Factory's Party Committee and the business leadership team.

After earnestly listening to the exposition and questioning of the Steel Rolling Factory's Party Secretary, Yang Yuansong, Feng Daozong also paused before saying, "First of all, what I can guarantee is that the working group's office procedures are not a problem."

Feng Daozong was the person in charge of the working group sent from above; naturally, he had to express his attitude and stance. How could he let Yang Yuansong take the lead?

"Secondly, I want to say that flies don't bite seamless eggs; all our investigations are reasonable work arrangements based on the voices of the masses and the specific content of the denunciation letters."

"Finally, what I want to tell you is that our working group has indeed discovered some problems with the Steel Rolling Factory's leadership team during the process of checking problems and investigating visits. This is a fact."

Feng Daozong looked at Yang Yuansong and said earnestly, "And our working group's attitude is also serious and responsible—responsible for the work, responsible for the requirements from above, and also responsible for the cadres and workers of the Steel Rolling Factory."

"Checking problems, finding problems, and rectifying problems is all there is to it. I don't think there's any need to make a fuss, and even less need to talk about this through leaders."

Feng Daozong was expressing his dissatisfaction—dissatisfaction with the Steel Rolling Factory using leaders from above to pressure people and hinder their investigation work.

Yang Yuansong drooped his eyelids, listened to Feng Daozong finish speaking, drank some tea, and paused for a long while before looking up at Feng Daozong and saying, "We don't oppose investigation, and we won't hinder the working group's work, but we oppose groundless isolation investigation and interrogation that exceeds the scale."

Speaking of this, Yang Yuansong also showed a rare ruthlessness, looking at Feng Daozong with a firm gaze and saying: "I personally, as well as the vast majority of comrades in the steel rolling mill, do not wish to see the work order of the steel rolling mill affected by some denunciation letters and some so-called investigations."

"If you have really investigated something, or if the work content of the main leadership team members of the Steel Rolling Factory currently affects your work and interferes with your investigation, please also bring it up."

Yang Yuansong nodded and said, "Our Steel Rolling Factory emphasizes unity in treating comrades, but we will not shield any cadres with problems. Deng Zhiwang is a very good example."

As he spoke, Yang Yuansong put down the cup in his hand, stood up, looked at the slightly surprised Feng Daozong, and said, "From now on, I don't want to see any cadres of the Steel Rolling Factory being isolated for investigation before the facts are clearly investigated."

"And I don't want to see the working group playing a role in fueling the flames regarding some disharmonious problems in the existing work order of the Steel Rolling Factory."

Yang Yuansong's words were resonant. After giving Feng Daozong an ultimatum, he went out, leaving behind Deputy Director Feng, who was frowning and whose eyes were flickering.

Outsiders didn't know about the collision and slaughter during their talk; the content of such talks was still very confidential, but in specific work, people in the office could still feel the power of the Party Secretary's anger.

First, the big-character posters on the wall at the entrance of the working group were cleared away by the cleaning team of the service department called by the working group.

Afterwards, a desk was placed at the entrance of the working group's main office. From today on, this became a petition reception post, with people on duty 24 hours a day.

All denunciation letters need to be registered and dismantled on-site. Big-character poster content related to the Great Learning and Great Discussion can still be posted, but only on bulletin boards and designated propaganda areas. The working group will no longer accept big-character poster content; formal reporting methods are required.

These were the measures taken by the working group after facing Yang Yuansong's anger, but the working group didn't stop there; instead, they changed their work methods.

Starting in the morning, working group members moved into many offices and departments, including workshops and laboratories.

And the Factory Director's office of the Steel Rolling Factory had the largest number of people moving in, executing work such as reviewing materials, investigating and taking letters, and conducting interviews.

And in this atmosphere of confrontation and tension, a report quietly appeared in the newspapers subscribed to by the office.

"Knowledge Serves the People, Honor is Attributed to the People"

—Recording the sense of honor and values of Comrade Li Xuewu, a transferred cadre, combat hero, Deputy Director of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Factory, and Deputy Director of the Security Department of the Beijing City D City Branch.

The report was rarely placed on the front page of the second edition, and the editor's note was written very sincerely and directly.

The content of the report was based on the true deeds of the excellent cadre Li Xuewu, citing some previous reports, as well as evaluations of Li Xuewu by relevant leaders and units, and finally making a directional definition and comment.

Li Xuewu's work situation, life style, excellent deeds, honorary awards, academic research, and values were all defined as the most representative knowledge youth cadre model of the contemporary era.

After graduating from high school, he joined the great melting pot to exercise his skills in killing the enemy, made meritorious service, continued to study after being transferred back, and at the same time created excellent results in his professional post, being entrusted with important tasks by the organization.

And in his busy work, he learned new knowledge, summarized work experience, and created a professional book that was regarded as a magic weapon for work by the frontline police of the public security department.

The second professional book he created summarized safety management experience and production management experience, and even won this year's Labor Model Medal, receiving the attention of the organization. Within the entire system, and even other production systems, safety management models began to be promoted.

Now, the royalties obtained from the creation of the two books were all donated to useful people by Comrade Li Xuewu.

One sum was donated to the school library, and one sum was donated to primary school students in the mountains who needed knowledge.

Steel Rolling Factory cadre, Iron and Steel Institute university student, combat hero, Deputy Director of the Security Department, writer... the overlap of so many identities made people have to sigh in their hearts.

The reporter cited the comments of relevant leaders: Comrade Li Xuewu interpreted with his own actions how knowledge youth should realize their own life value in the heat of the great era, and even more so set an example for contemporary youth who are still learning and struggling.

This is the People's Daily, a media with a crucial position in the current public opinion front, and even more so, data that all office units, and even relevant leaders, have to read every day.

Now, the comments and report trends about major learning and major discussion in the newspapers are changing unpredictably.

And such an article expressed with actual cases, about the current application of knowledge and how young people should conduct themselves, was truly a breeze, blowing away quite a bit of hot blood and confusion.

Of course, this breeze also brought Li Xuewu rich rewards and unknown dangers.

Li Xuewu was also reading this report about himself; this was his necessary study material for his morning class every day.

Every morning when Li Xuewu talked with the heads of various departments or held a morning meeting, Sha Qizhi would go through the content of these newspapers, then mark the important content and place it on Li Xuewu's desk.

And Li Xuewu would also pick up these newspapers and browse through them quickly after being busy for a while, in order to understand the current political situation and trend.

He also didn't expect his own affairs to be reported so quickly, and even less did he expect this article to be placed in such an obvious position.

This place usually contained speeches or travel reports of certain important leaders. Placing his affairs here clearly carried political significance.

Li Xuewu could also imagine what this significance was, and even more so knew who had moved the direction of this matter of his, defining him with a directional definition.

But Li Xuewu had considered this risk and definition. Based on what he had done, and the work attitude and values he had shown, there were no loopholes to attack.

Who could say that his protecting the factory and improving the safety production quality of workers was wrong?

Who could say that his summarizing experience and improving the skills of frontline police in cracking down on illegal crimes was wrong?

Who could say that his continuing to study cultural knowledge and donating all royalties to society was wrong?

This is not a question of who can say it, but a question of who dares to say it.

Now he carries many medals on his body, representing the achievements he has made in various posts and work. Denying any one of them represents denying the significance behind this medal.

Meritorious service? Labor? Or knowledge.

Major learning and major discussion is not about not learning, nor is it about not wanting knowledge, but about re-establishing a system of knowledge and cultural learning.

Now Li Xuewu's experience represents that the old knowledge learning path has undergone a qualitative change through the transformation of the great melting pot.

Sha Qizhi watched the leader hold that newspaper and squint his eyes for a long while. The expression was still that same expression, and the action was also that same action. If he didn't understand Li Xuewu's personality, he would really think the leader was complacent about seeing his own report.

Li Xuewu had received many honors; even the Labor Medal hadn't shown excessive joy, so how could he lose his composure over a report?

Even if this report was published in the People's Daily.

What Sha Qizhi thought was also similar to Li Xuewu, paying more attention to the deep meaning behind this report.

"It has spread throughout the office, it has been discussed, everyone is discussing this matter, and the heat is on par with the talk content between the Party Secretary and Deputy Director Feng."

Sha Qizhi took the thermos, and while refilling Li Xuewu's teacup with hot water, he reported the content he heard and understood in a relaxed manner.

And Li Xuewu glanced at him, put the newspaper in his hand aside, and continued to read the documents on the table.

Li Xuewu's work was busy; desk work was just like this, people would feel like they were lacking water.

Sha Qizhi covered the teacup lid. Seeing that Li Xuewu had no reaction, he continued, "It is said that the talk with the Party Secretary was very fast. It ended not long after entering. It is said that the talk was very unpleasant."

Chattering on, Li Xuewu just listened to it as idle talk and didn't care.

These things would not become the main melody of his work; they were just a part of office life.

Li Xuewu also didn't see the people from the working group who came to the Security Department to execute investigation and inspection tasks in the morning, as if it were irrelevant.

And the people from the working group also didn't disturb Li Xuewu, doing whatever they should do, which actually made the gossip in the Security Department office subside, as everyone was afraid that these people would make a fuss.

This kind of feedback and action didn't matter to Li Xuewu, but it made some departments feel uncomfortable, and the heads called the main leaders one after another.

But now Yang Yuansong and Yang Fengshan had respectively warned and disposed of the working group. If the contradiction escalated further, it was very likely to cause irreparable influence.

So Yang Yuansong also decided to appease these departments while talking with Xue Zhifu, asking the discipline inspection department to cooperate with the working group's investigation work.

Saying it was cooperation, it was mainly monitoring, not letting the working group lose control again and conflict with the departments.

Yang Yuansong's decision was a helpless move after compromise, so Yang Fengshan's current situation was a bit passive.

The working group was invited by him after all; all the cadres of the Steel Rolling Factory remembered this point.

And now the actions of the working group would all be remembered by these cadres on his head.

The weakening of the mass base was directly reflected in the execution of the Factory Director's office orders. Yang Fengshan clearly felt the constraints and restrictions from mid-level managers; the work arrangements that were very smooth before now had a sense of stagnation.

This was a very subtle feeling, specifically unable to be said, but it would exist in the process of work execution.

The secretaries of the factory office also felt this tense atmosphere; they also clearly felt that the frequency of document transmission increased, and the number of communication documents increased significantly.

This behavior just proved that the heads of various departments were unwilling to take responsibility, shirked responsibility to each other, and work could not be fully implemented and arranged, so it would be fed back to the Factory Director.

The working group's inspection and moving in, the Security Department didn't have uncomfortable feedback because of Li Xuewu's arrangement; other offices had various opposing voices that were suppressed, but there were also departments that held supportive and active attitudes.

For example, the Service Department.

Now people in the factory office were all betting, betting that Director Wang had heaven-defying luck and would survive a desperate situation.

Now who didn't know that Director Wang of the Service Department had the best relationship with those people in the working group, and who didn't know that Director Wang of the Service Department had the most face in the working group.

And the Service Department also received Director Wang's work arrangement: increase the intensity of cooperating with the working group's investigation work, take the initiative to help the working group execute supervision and inspection work, and at the same time, provide convenience for the working group as much as possible.

What kind of behavior is this!

Isn't this just saying to let the people of the Service Department be the ears and eyes of the working group? Isn't this letting the cleaning team and service team personnel supervise the work situation of various departments in their daily work?

Damn it, Wang Jingzhang is not acting like a human!

People in the office were all scolding Wang Jingzhang. When they saw the people from the Service Department coming to clean, they all shut their mouths and stopped talking, and their eyes were also filled with inquiry.

This made the people of the Service Department also feel very aggrieved. What could they do about the work handed down by the leader? Besides, they didn't want to do this kind of spy work, and the vast majority of people held a perfunctory attitude.

This also caused contradictions and conflicts between the people of the Service Department and the people of various departments in the office, making things complicated.

This Wang Jingzhang is really hateful!

Saying he is deserted by his followers is not an exaggeration; he really walked the road narrow and dead.

Especially this guy likes to copy homework by imitating others. When others engage in major learning and major discussion propaganda and establish models, he engages in service rectification; when others engage in high-standard service quality cultivation, he engages in service special learning activities.

Now the Security Department is engaging in a youth assault team for major learning and major discussion activities, and he also engaged in one, which is also participated in and presided over by those university students who were assigned here.

This is truly the old longevity star drinking arsenic—he thinks he's living too comfortably.

What kind of psychology do those university students who graduated from university have? He doesn't have a clue?

These people have not experienced social exercise, and even less have they experienced long-term political ideological tests. They all rely on hot blood and blind cognition of themselves to face politics.

Wang Jingzhang pushing them to the front now is not giving them a chance to exercise, nor is it giving them a stage to perform; it is sending them to the edge of the cliff, sending them to the guillotine on the road of progress.

University students are precious wealth for every department, and even more so the cornerstone of the department's future development. They should be cherished and cultivated with emphasis. His using them like this cannot be said to be pulling up seedlings to help them grow; it is completely wasting people, achieving some of his goals regardless of cost.

This kind of behavior is not seen by the workers in the office, the cadres and workers of the Service Department have opinions, and the leaders above are also unable to watch.

Too bottomless, too lacking in the reserve and political quality that a leading cadre should have, completely a speculator, a two-faced person.

Yang Yuansong is unwilling to pay attention to him, Yang Fengshan is also too lazy to manage him, and Jing Yunong doesn't even see him anymore.

This also indicates the opinions of these leaders regarding the work arrangement of Wang Jingzhang at the upcoming mid-year meeting.

Wang Jingzhang naturally feels this crisis, but who can he hug the thigh of now? He can only follow the footsteps of the working group closely.

And when his actions affected the work of other departments, Gu Weijie, entrusted by the Party Secretary, found Wang Jingzhang for a talk.

Gu Weijie is the Executive Deputy Party Secretary, a leader in charge of Party affairs, organization, and propaganda. Cadre problems are naturally under her management and restraint. Finding Wang Jingzhang for a talk is naturally also a normal performance.

And when Wang Jingzhang arrived at Deputy Party Secretary Gu's office, he just bumped into Zhang Guoqi coming out of the office.

It was really too coincidental. Two department-level cadres who were both under Li Huai De in the past met here.

Wang Jingzhang heard in the morning that Deputy Factory Director Li had resumed work, and Zhang Guoqi had also resumed work.

Nothing was investigated on Deputy Factory Director Li, and there was even less chance on Zhang Guoqi.

Because Zhang Guoqi had already been punished by the working group once; they couldn't punish the same thing again.

So seeing Zhang Guoqi here, he understood as soon as he thought about it. Cadres who have been investigated and have no problems are to be talked to by the organization.

Whether it is appeasement or warning, it is a necessary procedure.

It was just "coincidental" to meet here. Both of them saw disdain and disgust in each other's eyes, and they didn't even have the false politeness of nodding to each other, as if they had missed each other like strangers.

Zhang Guoqi out, Wang Jingzhang in; Zhang Guoqi left with a cold face, Wang Jingzhang entered with a smile.

Gu Weijie, who had just finished talking with Zhang Guoqi, was not surprised to see Wang Jingzhang enter, but signaled to the opposite side of the desk and asked him to sit down.

Wang Jingzhang could probably guess what Deputy Party Secretary Gu meant by looking for him.

And in the subsequent talk, he also heard the relationship represented by Deputy Party Secretary Gu, and the stance and attitude of talking to him.

Whether it was the Party Secretary or the Factory Director, or various departments, including the cadres and workers of the Service Department, all had opinions on his current stance and work methods.

Deputy Party Secretary Gu communicated with him regarding these opinions. After listening to his explanation and clarification, she analyzed and discussed with him the current severe political situation and production difficulties of the Steel Rolling Factory.

She required him to base himself on the fundamentals, seek truth from facts, have a sense of the overall situation and service, do work in a practical way, and do it better.

He should be as close to work needs as possible, start from being diligent and responsible, speak of principles, keep the bottom line, and strive to complete the tasks assigned by the factory leaders.

Gu Weijie said a lot, and very directly. This degree of talk was actually already very serious.

For mid-level cadres, especially department heads, the main leader talking so much and for so long means his road has gone wrong, gone crooked, and if he doesn't correct it, he will be eliminated.

But Wang Jingzhang agreed very readily on the surface, understood very thoroughly, and spoke very clearly, but the expression when walking out of the door was disdainful.

What's the use of saying so many words now that things have reached this point? All the roads he can take have been walked to a dead end. If he doesn't do anything, is he waiting to die!

He wants to use the power of the working group to tear a hole in the power structure shrouded over the Steel Rolling Factory, to let himself be able to stand out and accept the sunshine and rain.

Actually, Wang Jingzhang's thinking wasn't wrong. He himself had enough seniority and level. What's wrong with thinking about progress?

And if he goes one step further, isn't it the same as Gu Weijie? Now Gu Weijie can teach him a lesson; later, who knows who will say who.

Today you are the Deputy Factory Director; tomorrow, who says I won't be?

Maybe when I am the Deputy Factory Director, you won't be anymore!

Being a person means having ruthlessness; if you don't succeed, you become benevolent!

The slogan Wang Jingzhang shouted was not auspicious, because this slogan was most loved by the people of the Fruit Party in the past. Shouting and shouting, they were finished; either they really became benevolent, or they were passively made benevolent.

And this kind of inauspiciousness seemed to have been cast with magic; it was really effective.

On Wednesday, Li Xuewu was researching the engine R&D center with Xia Zhongquan when Sha Qizhi passed him a message.

"Is that so~"

Li Xuewu shook his head amusedly, expressing a disdainful yet amused emotion.

And Xia Zhongquan, who was standing on the side and clearly heard it, also had a funny and surprised expression.

There weren't many people standing here, and Xia Zhongquan dared to speak, looking at Li Xuewu with his eyes hanging and asking, "Is he crazy?"

"Hehe, you ask me, who do I ask~"

Li Xuewu smiled and didn't continue this topic, but looked at the technical personnel operating the machine tool to process engine parts.

Li Xuewu didn't know much about precision machining, but he knew about CNC machine tools. Many high-precision parts in later generations needed this kind of lathe.

And high-precision and cutting-edge technology lathes were basically in the hands of the little devils and the Germans.

Currently, domestic parts processing technology basically relied on manual work, on the worker's technical level, and on that kind of wonderful hand feel and skill.

The one currently demonstrating the processing technology for Li Xuewu was a fourth-level worker, in his thirties, young and motivated, with steady hands, and the parts processed were also very standard.

However, Li Xuewu still saw the backwardness and helplessness of this technology. If it were a mechanical lathe, why would it be so difficult and slow?

Manual polishing was mythologized in later generations, as if anything made by hand represented nobility and value, including cars.

The little devil's GTR used the engineer's manual creation of the engine to enhance the style of this car and this engine.

But from an industrial perspective, human movements and technology ultimately had limitations, and instability was the biggest problem.

Although sometimes miracles were created by people, industrial production could not rely entirely on miracles to support it.

A top-level GTR engine didn't represent anything, but an engine production line with a capacity of 100,000 units represented wealth and influence.

Moreover, the current R&D center for the Steel Rolling Factory's cars wasn't moving forward with the goal of the GTR engine R&D center, but developing towards the goal of realizing industrial production.

Only when industry developed to a certain degree could one pursue the creation of miracles and continuous experimentation and progress, enhancing the product's scientific and technological capabilities and potential.

Now Li Xuewu only wanted the R&D center to realize the production of an engine with only 60 horsepower like the Willys as soon as possible. This not only represented that the Steel Rolling Factory had the ability to produce engines, but also could use this kind of engine to develop the design and planning of other cars.

Xia Zhongquan naturally could understand Li Xuewu's sense of urgency. He also put most of his energy here, and even more so equipped this side with a more excellent and professional team to conduct R&D.

"How are the new university students?"

Li Xuewu crossed his arms while watching and asked Xia Zhongquan beside him.

Xia Zhongquan nodded and reported, "The foundation is still very good. They are steadily arranging internships and contacting this work. They are a supplement and catalyst for R&D work."

"Supplement and catalyst are not enough."

Li Xuewu's attitude was very serious, and he also said earnestly, "Use these university students well, use them correctly, give them pressure, and give them motivation, and put more thought into work."

Why did the Production Management Department and Design Department have the largest number of university students assigned this time?

If one said there was no Li Xuewu's opinion in this, Xia Zhongquan and Kuang Yusheng wouldn't believe it. Li Xuewu had an absolute relationship with Xu Sinian.

Several of them even vaguely formed a political alliance, with Li Xuewu as the head, Xu Sinian, Xia Zhongquan, and Kuang Yusheng as the support, and even attracted the active leaning of people including Bi Yuding of the Dispatch Department, Gou Zirong of the Sales Department, and Wei Zaike of the Party Organization Department.

Li Xuewu would enter the Party Committee at the mid-year meeting and become part of the Steel Rolling Factory's factory leadership sequence. This was a signal, and also the result of these people uniting together.

This small group had people, money, political background, and connections.

Who couldn't see Li Xuewu's talent in trade communication and enterprise management, and who couldn't see Li Xuewu's political concept and the superiority of advanced thinking?

Extremely high political sensitivity, decisive and capable in handling affairs, and very capable of command.

Especially in terms of personality charm and work style, it made people admire.

Thinking of these, the people in the Design Department didn't feel strange seeing Director Xia standing sideways beside Deputy Director Li to report work.

The existing autonomous management projects of the Design Department were all cooperating with the Security Department, and the main economic source was also raised and allocated through the Security Department. Director Xia reporting work to Deputy Director Li was no problem.

Xia Zhongquan knew even more that Li Xuewu assigning so many university students to him and Kuang Yusheng was because he valued the Steel Rolling Factory's design, R&D, and production work. This was a correct road.

Scientific development and ensuring production were the main ways to continuously enhance production capacity and form a dynamic balance between R&D and production, and even more so the necessary standard to ensure the vitality of the Steel Rolling Factory.

What Li Xuewu was doing now, and the arrangements he made, were all paving the way for the future development of the Steel Rolling Factory and setting up the foundation.

Scientific development could not be separated from political thinking, and even less from high-standard technical talent.

Li Xuewu couldn't solve political thinking for the time being, so he would solve the matter of technical talent.

"Start a skill training class. The old mode of masters bringing apprentices is too clumsy."

Li Xuewu looked at the fourth-level worker manually rubbing parts and still felt the speed was too slow. The Steel Rolling Factory's production equipment must be upgraded and transformed.

And based on the thinking and ability of these people, letting them transform would only be moving steps, not walking far.

Must use these new talents. If not this year, if not next year, the year after next, there must be achievements.

"Let the old masters and senior engineers come down to give them lectures to speed up the speed of integrating into the design workshop." ===== CHAPTER 706 =====
