Chapter 707: I'm also going to be a dad

Li Xuewu's eloquence was always excellent, so naturally, he wouldn't let Zheng Fuhua say he was irresponsible.

After looking at the functional areas of the lobby, everyone was led by Dou Yaozu to the library reading area, which was also called the meeting room, or the activity room.

Anyway, it was a large hall with wooden tables and chairs, and a small stage assembled from multiple small wooden tables.

Rows of bookshelves and newspaper racks, which were temporarily empty, stood against the wall.

Like the corridor and the lobby, the room was also painted white on the ground, and the wall skirt was painted with green paint, which still had the smell of paint now.

Overhead were ceiling fans and fluorescent lights. This facility was much better than the branch's.

This was not said by Li Xuewu, but by Lai Shanchuan.

He was smiling when he said this, but Zheng Fuhua didn't pick up his topic.

Like it?

Change it?

Li Xuewu didn't know if Lai Shanchuan was willing to change positions with him, but he wasn't willing. The department head at this time was not easy to be.

Zheng Fuhua tested the strength of the bookshelf against the wall with his hand. It was hard wood, and it was fixed to the wall, very safe.

And there were tables and chairs, made of solid wood. Looking at it, it wouldn't be a problem to use it for ten or twenty years.

This large reading room was enough to seat two or three thousand people for a meeting, which really fulfilled Li Xuewu's words: how much money you give him, he can do how much money's worth of things.

After seeing the reading room, they went to see the indoor training room. The empty one had nothing to see, just a lot of straw mats piled against the wall, which were used for wrestling.

And it was different in the equipment training room. There were many training equipment here. Except for some equipment that couldn't be realized now, it was no different from a gym in later generations.

This had to be attributed to Li Xuewu's soul painting skills, Xia Zhongquan's super-level understanding ability, and the efforts of several sixth-level and seventh-level workers in the Steel Rolling Factory.

Each set of equipment had an unequal number of settings, and it was divided according to areas, which made Zheng Fuhua dazzled.

Li Xuewu introduced the usage methods of the equipment to Zheng Fuhua, and Zheng Fuhua even tried it with interest.

Someone from the office who followed recorded it with a camera, which was convenient for reporting when going back.

But Li Xuewu laughed at him for "overestimating his ability." How old was he, and he still dared to play this.

Zheng Fuhua shook his head with a smile after hearing Li Xuewu's words, sighing that time was gone, and his body was not as good as when he was young.

The last thing to see was the various offices and duty rooms.

This side of the first floor still needed dormitory management and leadership cadre duty in the future, so a few more offices were left.

The dormitories upstairs were all fully installed. The doors were marked with dormitory numbers in red paint. The interior of the dormitories was still spacious, with only beds, cabinets, and racks for placing toiletries.

The living area was the living area. If there was a need for study, go to the reading room below. This was convenient for management and also convenient for internal affairs management.

Because there was no arrangement for moving in yet, the dormitories were all empty, without bedding, and without toiletries.

Zheng Fuhua looked at the radiator under the window, looked at the connected radiator pipes, and finally tested the strength of the wooden window, nodding to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu invited him to see other equipment and facilities, including the bathroom and shower room, and finally saw the boiler room.

After seeing it, Zheng Fuhua revealed a satisfied smile, pointed at Li Xuewu, and said, "This money was not spent in vain."

"That's for sure. There's no reason for money to be spent in vain."

Li Xuewu invited him to see the special operation store that was preparing to open.

This place was originally the garage in the courtyard, belonging to illegal construction, but no one dared to manage it.

After demolition and maintenance, it regained its youth, opening large display windows and gates facing the street, so one could see what was being sold inside from the outside.

And now the people from the Steel Rolling Factory's Sales Department were placing goods inside. The goods displayed were also the Steel Rolling Factory's own commodities, as well as commodities coordinated by the Sales Department.

Setting up a store here had more meaning as an exhibition area for large commodities, while for small commodities, it had the definition of "mosquito legs are also meat."

"Shields, steel forks, helmets..."

Because there were too many people, they didn't crowd into one room. Only Li Xuewu was accompanying Zheng Fuhua to walk around here.

Zheng Fuhua also looked at the anti-riot weapons placed on the wall shelf and was stunned, turned his head to glance at Li Xuewu, waiting for his explanation.

This belonged to the Security Brigade's armed equipment, how could it be sold?

And in Li Xuewu's place, there was nothing that couldn't be sold, only things that weren't allowed to be sold.

"No logo."

Li Xuewu tapped the forehead position of the helmet, then introduced, "It is still mainly aimed at the procurement of security items by the security departments of various factories and units."

As he spoke, he picked up the shield and showed it to Zheng Fuhua. Sure enough, there was no Security Brigade logo on it.

Zheng Fuhua nodded after listening to Li Xuewu's explanation, expressing recognition, and looking at the clothing and equipment in the room, knowing that this was to use the brand established by the Security Brigade as an advertisement.

This was also understandable. After all, when the Security Brigade was established, the Steel Rolling Factory also contributed. It was set at the time that cooperative sales of equipment would be split 50/50.

Now the Security Brigade was short of money. If he didn't let Li Xuewu think of ways to make money, did he have to go to him for money?

If he asked him, he had to have it. Now the situation was not the same as before.

Being able to get the matter of expanding the Security Brigade was already a great effort.

"This training uniform is also for sale?"

Zheng Fuhua looked at the various models of sailor shirts hanging on the wall, as well as the training uniforms with obvious board green styles, and couldn't help but glance at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu didn't care, signaling him to look at the street.

And when Zheng Fuhua looked at the street through the display window following Li Xuewu's signal, in just this short while, two bicycles had already flown past.

And the people sitting on the bicycles that flew past were wearing clothes of this style.

It definitely couldn't be people from the army, and even less could it be bought from here. Where did it come from?

"This is a kind of clothing form that is gradually rising among young people, board green, but not issued, but made by themselves."

Li Xuewu explained this sentence standing beside Zheng Fuhua, then signaled the clothes on the wall to Zheng Fuhua and asked with a smile, "Do you want to catch up with the fashion?"

"Forget it."

Zheng Fuhua pushed the clothes in Li Xuewu's hand back and said with a bitter smile, "I'm already at this age, where can I still try this?"

This sentence happened to hit the scene of the sentence Li Xuewu used to laugh at him in the training room just now.

Li Xuewu didn't care, re-hung the clothes, and accompanied him to continue turning around.

Besides clothes and shoes, there were also other uniform-style clothing here.

For example, work uniform, men's were shirts plus pants, women's were shirts plus skirts, the style was very novel.

Zheng Fuhua looked at the clothes on Li Xuewu, then looked at the clothing on the sales clerk who was busy in the store, and then understood, saying, "So that's it."

Li Xuewu also smiled knowingly and said, "It was made by Huang Gan of the First Supervision Institute, in order to improve the food for the prisoners and teach them a skill after they come out, so they started a garment factory."

Zheng Fuhua nodded. Obviously, he knew these things. Li Xuewu thought so too.

Just relying on Huang Gan's personality, if he made achievements, could he not claim credit?

Really treat the family as vegetarians? This was done by Huang Gan himself. In the future, it would naturally be a ladder for progress.

Seeing belts, leather shoes, leather bags, etc., he wasn't surprised anymore, and carried his hands behind his back, leading Li Xuewu to the next room.

The main things sold here were small odds and ends, various fitness small objects, and poker, chess, etc., mainly in the style of physical exercise.

The clothes sold here were also mainly sportswear, and the design style was different from the club's side, which was easy for Master Li.

Sports short sleeves, sports shorts, sports long sleeves, sports long pants, sports hats, etc., made the people from the branch open their eyes. Li Xuewu saw that there were people paying to buy them.

Going to the next room was a large through-room, with several cars parked inside.

Zheng Fuhua recognized these cars. Weren't they the ones made by the Steel Rolling Factory?

However, because the room was relatively large, one could see the differences in these car models here.

The light in the room was sufficient, and the lights were on, so it was clear to see.

Besides the Prairie Tiger armored patrol vehicle, Antelope light patrol vehicle, and signal light command communication vehicle, there were fire-type light vehicles with red paint here.

And the vehicles with eye-catching bright red fire logos also had different configurations from patrol vehicles, including demolition and emergency disposal.

This kind of fire truck was more for command and temporary handling, or for transporting personnel and equipment. It was much more convenient than the side-three-wheelers used by most fire units now.

And next to the light fire command vehicle was a bright red fire water truck, which could carry people and water, with strong power. It was a fire vehicle just developed and modified by the Steel Rolling Factory.

Various vehicles were placed in the middle of the venue, while various fire equipment, as well as fire soft water pipes and other equipment and facilities, were hung on the wall.

The most eye-catching were those sets of fire clothing that had been modified and designed. They were much improved compared to the current fire uniforms, at least reducing many burdens and increasing many useful designs.

The room here was spacious, and many people came in, turning around, looking, and being curious, and also asking about the price.

The prices here were only base prices, not including later installation and modification.

Just looking at the complete wireless communication technology on the car, one could know that this car had been modified beyond recognition, and its performance and use naturally had to be closer to the application occasion.

Zheng Fuhua also nodded to Li Xuewu. He was very satisfied with Li Xuewu's serious and responsible attitude, and even more so had confidence in this equipment and vehicles.

The Security Brigade's funds could be relieved a bit. If it sold well, it was even possible to directly bear the expenses of the Security Brigade.

Of course, he also heard the confidence generated after the sales department section chief introduced the prices of these cars.

Like the last time he promoted in the parking lot, Zheng Fuhua only felt that Li Xuewu was really black-hearted.

Zheng Fuhua and others ate working meals in the Security Brigade canteen at noon, and after the meal, they went to see the Security Brigade command center and data room, and finally sat down in the meeting room.

There were too many people, so it was more convenient to talk in the meeting room.

Shen Fang was busy organizing the security company and the Security Brigade personnel to move here with Zhang Chenggong of the 816 Regiment. They would start moving into the new dormitory today.

Including the 816 Regiment cadres who worked here and the duty cadres of the Security Brigade, they would all move over uniformly.

The vacated dormitories would all be re-transformed into offices or warehouses, used to place office personnel.

And the office that was originally in the hall at the door of Li Xuewu's office would also move out, because there were more empty places.

These were all moved according to the pre-determined plan by Shen Fang, without Li Xuewu worrying.

He was now going to report the recent work carried out by the Security Brigade to Zheng Fuhua, who came from the branch, and Wang Xiaoqin would also report the recent political study of the Security Brigade and the situation of new team member selection and recruitment.

Recently, the Security Brigade had no tasks, so they started to practice internal skills, exercise and study both, and finished the training of weapons, equipment, and apparatus.

And because Wang Xiaoqin checked and led the political study, and with the help of those female university students from Huaqing who decided to stay, the Security Brigade's study situation was bright.

In the development of the major learning and major discussion activities, the Security Brigade completed the goals assigned by the superiors very well.

The selection task for new team members had ended. Wang Xiaoqin submitted the specific personnel list and situation introduction to Zheng Fuhua.

Zheng Fuhua listened to Wang Xiaoqin's report while looking at the situation explanation in his hand.

There were nearly 180 high school students, and the rest were all junior high school students.

And there were more than 600 girls selected in this batch. It looked like they were going to form a women's Security Brigade.

This was indeed the first one among the basic security and protection teams in Beijing, but it also represented the advancement of gender equality. Zheng Fuhua could even more see the representative significance in it.

These girls could not only form a special defense force in Dongcheng, but also become excellent frontline case-handling personnel after cultivation.

This was the Security Brigade, but there was a definition of cultivation in the original intention of setting up the Security Brigade.

Zheng Fuhua had no place to be dissatisfied. Lai Shanchuan wanted to speak, but there was no place for him to speak here.

The Security Brigade was already completely responsible to Zheng Fuhua, which meant Li Xuewu didn't need to report work to Lai Shanchuan, and Lai Shanchuan had no qualification to command the work of the Security Brigade.

After hearing Wang Xiaoqin introduce that all new team members would be gathered on Monday and uniformly transported to the Red Star Training Ground for training, Zheng Fuhua had no other opinions.

He was too familiar with the people trained at the training ground, and even more familiar with the combat capabilities of these people.

When Zheng Fuhua asked if Li Xuewu and Wang Xiaoqin had any needs, Li Xuewu also took the initiative to ask Zheng Fuhua for the establishment.

The number of people was close to a thousand, and the whole team was almost 2,000 people now. Even if these old team members returned to their basic posts three months later, there would still be more than 1,500 people.

It was naturally inappropriate for such a large team to be led by the three of them, so Li Xuewu couldn't wait for the leader to speak.

"The special service team needs to be expanded into a special service squadron. I recommend squadron leader Pazile to serve as the deputy brigade leader, adding a deputy brigade leader, which is also convenient for the current team management."

Li Xuewu glanced at Wang Xiaoqin and said, "The female university students from the Political Academy and Literature Academy of Huaqing University who are practicing here this year have all taken the initiative to stay in the Security Brigade to work."

"I discussed with Wang Zhengwei and jointly recommend Zhai Chuchu to serve as the deputy political commissar of the Security Brigade, and Comrade Qin Ruizhen to serve as the deputy director of the Political Department..."

Recommending these university students to serve in the Security Brigade was indeed something Li Xuewu and Wang Xiaoqin had discussed long ago; otherwise, they couldn't have promised support when talking to those university students and inviting them to stay.

The Security Brigade was undergoing structural changes. The most prominent change was that the basic team members of the Security Brigade would gradually be returned to various units.

Even if some were left to serve as small team, squadron, and brigade commanders, they were only a minority. The Security Brigade would face a situation of many soldiers and few generals.

And in order to maintain combat effectiveness, and also for the healthy development of the Security Brigade, Li Xuewu was going to increase logistics and political security personnel while expanding the Security Brigade.

Commanders would be found among transferred, retired, and existing Security Brigade personnel. Political instructors and instructors would be a problem for the Security Brigade.

And after the Security Brigade expanded, the branch would no longer ignore the political guidance situation of the Security Brigade like before, and would definitely arrange people here.

Rather than letting unknown people get involved, it was better to use those he cultivated himself, at least there was still comrade affection.

Graduates of the Political Department and Literature Department of Huaqing University had no problem serving as deputy section-level positions.

As for work experience, didn't they already have internship experience? It was just choosing excellent personnel from these twenty-odd people to set the establishment.

And this time, Li Xuewu wanted to expand all the logistics security and political ideological education personnel of the Security Brigade into place in one step.

Wang Xiaoqin was going to follow Li Xuewu's footsteps, and also knew that Li Xuewu's step was very subtle, challenging the branch's bottom line, and even more so giving Zheng Fuhua a difficult problem.

Before Zheng Fuhua could speak, Lai Shanchuan frowned slightly, glanced at Director Zheng, and then smiled at Li Xuewu, "Is it a bit urgent? Can we slow down?"

As he spoke, he signaled to Director Zheng's side, and said to Li Xuewu, "You know the situation in the bureau."

"Can't slow down."

Zheng Fuhua looked at the expressions of Li Xuewu and Wang Xiaoqin, and knew their attitude, saying this meaningful sentence.

Then he quickly organized his emotions, nodded, and said, "Report the specific cadre appointment list, I agree in principle."

"However."

Under Lai Shanchuan's surprised and anxious expression, Zheng Fuhua pointed at Li Xuewu and Wang Xiaoqin with the cigarette in his hand, saying, "Twice, once for expansion, once for using people."

"Yes."

Li Xuewu stood up with Wang Xiaoqin, saluted, and responded to Zheng Fuhua's words with a serious and solemn attitude.

Zheng Fuhua only said half of his words, the second half being: there is a first and second time, but no third and fourth time.

The achievements created by the Security Brigade were not enough for Li Xuewu and Wang Xiaoqin to act recklessly and meddle in personnel arrangements.

Zheng Fuhua said to let Li Xuewu report the list, which was also prepared to be submitted in his name, not Li Xuewu's. This was also protecting them.

Another point was that the sentence "can't slow down" just now referred to the fact that the Security Brigade's new team member training was imminent, and political education must also keep up; they couldn't lose their heads while carrying guns.

But this sentence was also saying another thought of Li Xuewu and Wang Xiaoqin. In this period and this situation, there was no time to slow down the personnel problem.

Li Xuewu and Wang Xiaoqin saluted Zheng Fuhua so formally, which was also thanking this old leader for his help and support, and even more so feeling his understanding of the two's decision.

Zheng Fuhua also stood up, pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, waved his hand, and said, "Train well, prepare well."

Li Xuewu watched Zheng Fuhua turn and walk away with a slightly regretful and lost expression, and hurriedly followed.

Lai Shanchuan didn't know what was going on. How did it become like this? His...

"Leader, leader~"

Zheng Fuhua walked fast, and Li Xuewu followed fast, leaving the people behind several steps away.

Li Xuewu also leaned to Zheng Fuhua's side and explained, "Lose the land and lose the people, both land and people are lost; keep the people and lose the land, both land and people are kept~"

"Do I need you to teach me?!"

Zheng Fuhua raised his eyebrows and glared at Li Xuewu, then pointed at him and said, "You kid has anti-bones behind your head. Why didn't I see it before!"

Li Xuewu saw it now. Zheng Fuhua's regret was for the Security Brigade, and his loss was for the current situation.

Seeing him start to speak, he said with a smile, "Look for it in the whole branch, there is no one more loyal than me!"

"Tsk~ My Dongcheng Branch, you are the only loyal one?"

Zheng Fuhua walked to the parking lot and stood still, pointed at Li Xuewu's chest, and said, "Don't be self-righteous."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Lai Shanchuan who followed hurriedly, and said with his eyes hanging, "I am definitely more loyal than Director Lai!"

"Heh~"

Zheng Fuhua opened the car door and got in. When closing the car door, he curled his lips and said, "Look at the person you compared!"

"What are you saying about me?"

Lai Shanchuan's legs were not long, but he was fast. He caught up at this moment.

He had just seen it. Li Xuewu glanced at him before speaking. Obviously, he was talking about him.

"Hi, Director Lai misunderstood. I was just saying goodbye to the leader."

Li Xuewu shook hands with Lai Shanchuan, who was squinting, with a smile, and explained this sentence.

Lai Shanchuan looked at Li Xuewu, his face full of disbelief, but he couldn't linger with Li Xuewu here.

After sending the people from the branch away, Li Xuewu turned his head and glanced at Wang Xiaoqin, and Wang Xiaoqin was also squinting at him.

"What are you looking at?!"

"Tsk~"

Wang Xiaoqin didn't pick up Li Xuewu's topic, curled her lips and looked at Li Xuewu, saying, "You smile just like a treacherous official."

"Hey!"

Li Xuewu was inexplicably said this by her. Just as he wanted to ask, he saw her turn and go towards the dormitory building.

"This is really wronged to death. I, such an upright person, would actually be called a treacherous official. Does a treacherous official have someone as gentle and refined as me~"

Because they had to gather new team members on Monday to go up the mountain for training, the Security Brigade was very busy on Saturday.

Shen Fang was busy, and now he was the only deputy brigade leader, so he could only suffer alone.

Fortunately, hearing that Li Xuewu had already reported the cadre expansion personnel, he could be considered to have a day of coming out.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqin taking people to be busy with book procurement for the reading room, Shen Fang took time out of his busy schedule to find Li Xuewu for a cigarette.

"Is it going smoothly?"

"It's okay."

Li Xuewu also lit one. He was reporting work in the meeting room just now, so he couldn't smoke.

"How is the arrangement?"

"Proceed according to plan."

Shen Fang was also tired, like Li Xuewu, trying to keep long words short and short words unsaid.

The two stood here smoking, rested for half a cigarette, and Shen Fang continued, "Knowing that new team members are coming, and it's rumored that old team members are to be gradually returned to their original units, the team members have some emotions."

"Normal."

Li Xuewu took a puff of the cigarette, squinted his eyes and looked at the gate, saying, "No matter who is abandoned, there will be this sense of loss."

After speaking, he looked at Shen Fang and smiled, "But if you take the initiative to ask them if they stay or not, they will definitely hesitate. This is the human heart."

"I don't want it, but I can't not give it."

Shen Fang also understood and laughed. Thinking carefully, it was really the case.

"Organize an art performance."

Li Xuewu tapped the cigarette ash, pursed his lips and thought for a while, signaled the female university students who were laughing and talking over there, and said, "Let them organize, choose programs from the team members, and do it together with 816."

"This is a good idea."

Shen Fang hung his left eyelid, took the last puff of the cigarette, spat out the smoke, stepped on the cigarette butt, and said with a smile, "After the exam, it's time to relax. Can't keep the nerves tight all the time."

As he spoke, he glanced at the new dormitory building and signaled to Li Xuewu, "The venue is convenient, but it lacks a set of equipment. Look..."

"I don't see it~"

Li Xuewu drooped his eyelids and said bitterly, "Director Zheng has already pointed me out. I can't go to him for things in the future, at least I can't go anymore."

Shen Fang nodded understandingly, understanding what Li Xuewu meant.

But he understood Li Xuewu, but how could he organize a program without equipment!

Li Xuewu saw his difficulty, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Just three or four hundred people, choose programs with loud voices, shout with necks, wait until we have money, we will definitely get a set of equipment."

"Wait until we have money..."

Shen Fang curled his lips and said helplessly, "Just now the Political Department asked Wang Zhengwei for relevant books, and Wang Zhengwei also said so. It turns out you are all taught by the same master."

"If I have money, can I not buy it for you?"

Li Xuewu's hand patting Shen Fang's shoulder paused, and he took the opportunity to stop him, persuading him like a son who wanted to buy stationery, "Don't worry, as long as we have money in the account, we will definitely buy it. You can buy whatever you want."

Shen Fang was happy at first. He was a good brother after all, knowing he cared about him.

But the more he listened, the more it tasted wrong. He squinted at Li Xuewu and pushed Li Xuewu away.

Damn it, I treat you as a brother, you want to be my dad!

Li Xuewu was not angry at being treated rudely by Shen Fang, smiled and signaled Wang Xiaoqin who was walking back, saying, "Wang Zhengwei knows how much money is in our account. Why don't you ask her if it's okay?"

"I won't ask!"

Shen Fang drooped his eyelids and wouldn't provoke this idle fart. Shout if you want to shout; it's not like they didn't shout during training.

He actually knew that what the Security Brigade team members wanted to see was definitely not the songs they shouted on weekdays, but the programs performed by these female university student instructors.

The songs they trained were all sung rotten by them, very boring, and it had to be the girls performing.

"Ask what?"

Perhaps Shen Fang's voice was a bit loud, perhaps Wang Xiaoqin's hearing was too good. As soon as Shen Fang finished muttering, Wang Xiaoqin walked over and asked this.

The several female university students from the Political Training Department who walked over with Wang Xiaoqin also greeted Li Xuewu and Shen Fang with a smile.

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, asking, "Are the dormitories all arranged?"

"Yes."

Zhai Chuchu was still very outgoing. Seeing Li Xuewu ask, she also took the initiative to answer.

"The environment of the new dormitory is much better than the original one, and washing and accommodation are convenient."

"That's good."

Li Xuewu nodded again, looked at Wang Xiaoqin and explained, "Just now we were talking about the funding problem. Brigade Leader Shen wanted to get a set of audio equipment for the activity room. Isn't this embarrassing?"

Wang Xiaoqin looked at Shen Fang and asked helplessly, "Don't need me to explain our funding?"

"Sigh~~~"

Shen Fang didn't say anything, just sighed, everything was in the words.

Zhai Chuchu and others also wanted books just now. Seeing that Brigade Leader Shen was rejected, they were also embarrassed and pursed their lips.

Li Xuewu signaled them, said to Wang Xiaoqin, "I have an idea about the books, you see if it works."

After speaking, in the expectant eyes of these girls, and under Wang Xiaoqin's threat of "insufficient funding," he explained, "New books are naturally expensive. Have you considered old books, or accepting donated books?"

"Old books? Donated books?"

Wang Xiaoqin looked at Li Xuewu suspiciously and asked, "Can the quality of such books be guaranteed? We are a serious discipline unit."

"This requires careful selection and verification."

Li Xuewu said helplessly, "I want new books too, but now there's no way. Money is used for infrastructure transformation. If there's no money, we have to think of ways without money."

As he spoke, he said to Shen Fang, "You know the old book stalls at Dong'an Market, right? I think that side should be able to satisfy our needs."

After speaking, he added to Wang Xiaoqin, "And the book warehouse moved away last time, we can go and beg for it, see if they have books they can donate to us."

"Hehehe~ What are you thinking!"

Wang Xiaoqin laughed, "Going to the market to find old books is fine, but you used such a damaging trick to force them away, and now you go to ask them for books. This is a bit too shameless."

"How much is face worth?"

Li Xuewu said with a shameless look, "Go and ask. If I go to apologize and they can donate enough books, I will definitely apologize to their faces, even publish it in the newspaper."

"I'm really afraid of you."

Seeing Li Xuewu's look of "if you don't want face, you are invincible," Wang Xiaoqin really couldn't watch it anymore. She was right to say Li Xuewu was a treacherous official just now.

"Then go and see the old book stalls, find out if there are any we need."

She didn't have the face to use Li Xuewu's trick of asking for books, but old books could still be considered.

Buying one new book is enough to buy ten old ones, which is still very cost-effective.

It's just that old books need to be screened when bought, and screened again after coming back, which is just troublesome.

But people are poor and ambitious. Who let their account have no money.

Now the Security Brigade can only barely maintain operation, and still relies on the branch's financial support.

A dormitory building, plus a boiler room, the whole heating transformation, even if 816 took their part, it wouldn't come down without more than 10,000 yuan, including the canteen building.

The profit sharing from selling cars in the early stage has been used for these few months. Now there is basically nothing left. Otherwise, Li Xuewu wouldn't have thought of imitating sailor shirts.

Fortunately, the store opened today, and the operating profit is split 50/50. Any amount is an income, which is better than staring blankly.

The girls from the Political Training Department got the promise of Wang Zhengwei, so they all went back to work with a smile, but they agreed to go to Dong'an Market tomorrow to see. If there were suitable ones, they would ask Wang Xiaoqin to purchase them.

The three of Li Xuewu chatted about the work arrangements for the next two days while walking to the office, needing to re-examine the plan. Shen Fang must go up the mountain, and Wang Xiaoqin and Li Xuewu would also send these people up the mountain for training on Monday.

And the next three months would be Wang Xiaoqin and Shen Fang taking turns to train, including these people in the Political Training Department who would also be busy.

Wang Xiaoqin finally sighed and said, "If it weren't for those stores supporting, I'm afraid I would have to go begging."

"How is the effect?"

Li Xuewu hadn't gone to see it yet. They were just preparing to open the store just now. It was afternoon now, and it must have been open for business.

"It's okay, after all, it just opened."

Wang Xiaoqin combed the hair by her ear and introduced, "Clothes sell well, red books also sell well, and things like badges."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoqin looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Why didn't you take Director Zheng to see this part of the store?"

"Not very convenient."

Li Xuewu paused, then explained, "Our store says it's sold to units, but it's mostly sold to individuals. It's better not to embarrass the leader."

Wang Xiaoqin looked at Li Xuewu and nodded, "No wonder Director Zheng said that sentence."

"Books sell well, the sales clerks are all busy replenishing goods. Maybe it's because we are facing the street, and because of that excitement, people who came all went to see the car showroom."

"Then is it reading books, or looking at cars~"

Shen Fang smiled helplessly, then curled his lips and said, "But cars are still good-looking, it's just that you can only look."

"This is a propaganda effect. What else do you want?"

Wang Xiaoqin looked at him with a smile, signaled to Li Xuewu, "He is thinking about not opening for three years, and eating for three years after opening."

Thinking of the prices reported by those people in the Steel Rolling Factory Sales Department, Wang Xiaoqin couldn't help but think of Director Zheng calling him black-hearted.

And after laughing for a while, the three entered the office, and Wang Xiaoqin took the initiative to talk about the attitude of Director Lai at the meeting just now.

"He asked me about the situation of our brigade last time. He wanted to arrange people. You blocked it once. He must be unhappy this time."

"Let him be."

Li Xuewu sat on the sofa, shook his chin, and said, "I mentioned it to Director Zheng. Let Director Zheng handle it. After all, there has been a conflict, and it's not suitable to escalate the contradiction."

Wang Xiaoqin glanced at Li Xuewu and said, "You should be prepared for this matter. I'm afraid he still wants to control the Security Brigade, or at least reach his hand in."

Shen Fang picked up the topic, "This is inevitable. You are all hanging positions, and Xuewu is hanging in the Security Department, and he is in charge of security. Naturally, he wants to have a say here."

After explaining this sentence, Shen Fang said again, "The bureau is chaotic now, the branch is unstable. If it weren't for Director Gao and Director Zheng, it would have been chaotic long ago. He wants to control the Security Brigade now to increase his own say."

"Can't give him this chance."

Wang Xiaoqin frowned and said, "I felt something was wrong with the notice that came down last time. We all followed the order to recall everyone for training and cultivation. Why could the working group's order still reach us?"

"Also, he must remember the matter between you and him last time. Just like Shen Fang said, if it weren't for Director Gao and Director Zheng, he would have erupted."

"Erupt if he wants to. Fainting can't stop death."

Li Xuewu frowned and said, "Sending people up the mountain is to prevent people from picking thorns. Too many people are always not easy to control."

"This level of confrontation is not enough to be flustered. Wait for him to make a move."

Li Xuewu was still calm and composed, stabilizing the emotions of Shen Fang and Wang Xiaoqin.

"Whoever makes a move first has no reason. If the one who makes a move first is beaten, he will have even less face to speak."

Li Xuewu's hand tapped the table, signaled the two, and exhorted, "Don't provoke him easily, just pass this period of time first."

Shen Fang frowned, his arms on the table, drooped his eyelids and said, "This person had a large network of relationships in the past and is very good at making things happen. Be careful."

Shen Fang said to be careful, still the method of guarding against thieves for a thousand days. Li Xuewu didn't want to pay attention to him for the time being, just wanted

Shen Fang said to be more vigilant, which is still the method of guarding against thieves for a thousand days. Li Xuewu doesn't want to bother with him for the time being; he just wants to wait for the situation to change and move past it when he can—this period of time is not suitable.

In the afternoon, Li Xuewu and Wang Xiaoqin separately talked to the cadres appointed and promoted this time to prepare for Monday's affairs, and they were so busy they didn't even return to the steel rolling mill.

After work in the evening, Li Xuewu left with Pazile, who had just finished talking with Wang Xiaoqin; he also hadn't taken a vacation for a long time.

Today, he had to return to the Sihe Academy, and Li Xuewu also let Han Jiankun take a detour to drop him off at the entrance of the alley before returning to the Haiyun Warehouse himself.

By the time Li Xuewu returned with Gu Ning and the others, Pazile and the others were already chatting in the guest room.

Sha Zhu was still a bit reserved when seeing his brother-in-law; they had been married for over a month, nearly two, but he hadn't seen his brother-in-law many times.

He was originally busy in the kitchen as usual, but seeing Pazile return, he accompanied him in the room for a casual chat.

Seeing Li Xuewu pass by outside the window, he hurriedly called him in.

Li Xuewu thought something had happened, but as soon as he entered the room, he was pulled by Sha Zhu, who said: "You need to find someone else."

"What? Find who?"

Li Xuewu looked at Sha Zhu, who had blurted out a sentence incoherently, with squinted eyes in confusion, and then looked at the others in the room.

Diliya, who was sitting in the room accompanying her brother, blushed instantly, stood up, and pulled Sha Zhu away from Li Xuewu.

Sha Zhu, however, smiled indifferently and said to Li Xuewu: "I'm going to be a father too!"
