Chapter 740: I don't even know them!

So Li Xuewu's target was Steel City!

This was something Gu Weijie hadn't expected, and Dong Wenxue, the executor, hadn't expected it either.

Dong Wenxue tapped his hand lightly on the armrest, looked at Gu Weijie, and said, "This target and direction of development is truly the first time I've heard him mention it."

Gu Weijie smiled and nodded, saying, "I know, because this target might be for three years from now, or perhaps six."

"Heh heh~ not necessarily~"

Dong Wenxue understood the hidden meaning in Gu Weijie's words and couldn't help but chuckle and wave his hand. "He is skilled at thinking and development planning, but his personality is just a bit cautious."

This was a response to Gu Weijie's words, and also provided a cautious explanation for Li Xuewu's "keeping secrets."

Facing Gu Weijie's gaze, Li Xuewu shrugged indifferently. He didn't care about her words and continued, "What can be confirmed now is that if the engine research and development is completed and there are no major problems with the overall automotive industrial design, it will be settled at the Steel City Steel Mill."

"It's not just because the Steel Mill is more suitable for expanding industrial development, but also because of factors like politics, geography, personnel, and supporting industries."

Li Xuewu didn't provide a detailed explanation, but introduced it from one direction: "Just speaking of supporting industries, some parts don't need to be produced by us. We can order them from the Jicheng 107 Factory and complete the assembly after they return."

In the subsequent introduction, Li Xuewu mainly introduced the current automotive development needs and the matching degree of industrial manufacturing capabilities, which gained unanimous approval from the few people present.

After Li Xuewu finished his presentation, Gu Weijie pointed out the personnel factor and asked him to give an introduction.

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "A car manufacturing plant can provide at least five thousand positions. If five thousand people were transferred from the first-generation children of the Steel Mill workers, what do you think would happen?"

Gu Weijie had been prepared in her heart, but she still couldn't help but be surprised when Li Xuewu said these words.

Isn't this just shifting contradictions? It's also called shifting production. If five thousand people were drawn from the already bloated Steel Mill, it would drive the migration of tens of thousands of people.

After the Steel Mill finishes slimming down, and then turns around to upgrade, wouldn't it be much easier?

"So the shipbuilding, weapon manufacturing, tool manufacturing, production material manufacturing, etc., that you mentioned..."

"That is indeed the case."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "The Steel Mill itself has a steel plant and can complete all the processes of industrial production. Building cars and building ships are the same."

These words made everyone present start to think. If, according to Li Xuewu, it's the same, then building bicycles is also the same, right?

It's just that Li Xuewu isn't talking about building bicycles now, but is heading straight for cars and ships. I'm afraid there's another purpose.

"Is it joint trade?"

Han Shu narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Li Xuewu, asking, "Wenxue said that your factory's trade projects are doing very well, and the Steel Mill is also cooperating."

"Yes, heh heh~"

Li Xuewu glanced at Han Shu and then said, "Land transportation development has constraints, but the sea doesn't, and river transport is also more relaxed."

In later generations, many products from Hebei Province were transported to the Japanese side via river channels using thousand-ton ships, which was very convenient.

Li Xuewu didn't elaborate on this project, which means this part of the content is preparation for the trade project, which is content related to Li Huai De.

This is truly one link after another. All projects are interlinked and connected together, so there won't be a situation where production has no use.

Why did everyone think about why he didn't head for bicycles? With the Steel Mill's massive scale undergoing transformation, small factories probably can't handle it.

How much steel can a bicycle use, and how many workers can it support? It's meaningless to say it and build it.

Steel development is so rapid, and bicycle development is even faster. Bicycle ownership is also continuously increasing, faster than the steel industry is saturating. It's not considered a good direction.

Cars and shipbuilding are different; they are true golden industries.

As for the other weapon manufacturing, tool manufacturing, production material manufacturing, etc., Li Xuewu didn't say, so there is also a way out.

Gu Weijie looked at Dong Wenxue with some envy. One was envy that he had such a capable student, and the other was envy that Li Xuewu could do so much preparation for Dong Wenxue.

The three and six years she mentioned, isn't the true meaning that these things will be realized during Dong Wenxue's tenure and in Li Xuewu's future?

Once realized, it will also become a ladder for the two to continuously progress.

Dong Wenxue six years, Li Xuewu six years, more than ten years of development—everyone in the room couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

This is to rebuild a large factory on the basis of the Steel Mill, a collective body that is even larger than the Steel Mill itself, with more people and richer production products.

Then the status of the Steel Mill will change from the main trunk to an appendage, and Dong Wenxue and Li Xuewu will also change from supporting roles to protagonists.

What is called grafting flowers and connecting trees, turning the world around? This is truly a big game of chess.

But why did Li Xuewu want to say it here, and say it for her to hear?

The reason is very simple. Dong Wenxue and Li Xuewu want to place these industries one by one in Steel City, which requires more people's support and help.

Among the mid-level management cadres, Li Xuewu already has support. The Technical Department and the Production Management Department are now Li Xuewu's vanguard.

And the decision-making layer is waiting for her opinion. No matter who is the factory director, the unanimous opinion of one deputy factory director and two deputy secretaries is crucial.

What is called being able to go out and being able to come back?

Investment in related industries can go out, and costs and profits can come back.

The pressure on Steel Mill workers can go out, and production efficiency can come back.

The internal contradictions of the Steel Mill can go out, and development prospects can come back.

Cadres of Dong Wenxue's line can go out, and bring back achievements.

The game of chess Li Xuewu is going to play in the future is very big, and he can invite many people to play together and profit together.

Just like the joint enterprise at the beginning, as long as they don't hold on tightly like Jing Yunong and Yang Fengshan, Li Xuewu will definitely be able to set up a big game in Steel City.

A comprehensive manufacturing base, a complete trade and sales system, and water and land transportation tools—as long as the products are qualified, there is no worry about not being able to sell them.

Who is in charge of the Steel Mill?

It's not clear now, don't worry, look again in a few years.

Dong Wenxue is also thinking about his student's words. When he first saw the suggestion in the development target to communicate with the local area and merge the shipbuilding plant and freight terminal at the estuary, his thought was that Li Xuewu was crazy.

The Prince River estuary has a shipbuilding plant and a freight terminal, but those were left over from the "Joint Stock Company" period. It's simple to merge in the name of the Steel Mill. The local area wishes the Steel Mill would take over these messes.

Is the idea good?

Good!

Shipping saves money. The transportation of raw materials and the transshipment of coal and other materials are all convenient.

It's even better to have big ships. After all, there is only a short railway transport left from the estuary to Steel City.

Shipbuilding and the shipping and freight extended by the terminal can create even broader profits for trade projects.

From the perspective of personnel development and placement, it is also an advantage: shipbuilding, ship repair, terminal positions, shipping schools, etc.

At that time, I'm afraid the children of the Steel Mill's own workers won't be enough, and they will have to go outside to recruit people.

The idea is good, but what about the money?

Development requires money. Without money, how can the shipbuilding plant and terminal be restored?

Now he has figured it out. Li Xuewu has already sent the "money."

The development of shipping is unlimited. He knows that Li Xuewu's recycling station has ships in Steel City, and he also knows that the people there are engaged in shipping. He also knows the thought Li Xuewu put into this game for the recycling station.

But after figuring it out, he still has to support Li Xuewu's idea, because this is beneficial to both the steel plant and the Steel Mill.

Especially the manufacturing base. If it really succeeds, his right to speak in the Steel Mill will already exist without needing to be transferred back.

Ren Xiaoyu is not from the Steel Mill, but he can still see Li Xuewu's words today and the reactions of these people in the Steel Mill.

So when Li Xuewu finished speaking, and these people were thinking or excited, he pointed at Li Xuewu and reminded him: "You are a typical pragmatist. You need self-criticism and self-reflection~"

……

"Hahaha~"

Everyone was awakened by his words, and then they all burst into laughter. Even Li Xuewu, who was holding a teacup and drinking water, laughed after a pause.

If you say you are a pragmatist, then why did everyone sitting here today come?

Ren Xiaoyu's words were not criticizing Li Xuewu, but summarizing Li Xuewu's words and what everyone said today.

It's all serious talk, but it can only be said that it's wrong and needs reflection.

As for whether to reflect or not, that's hard to say.

Li Shu had been coaxed by her mother just now, so she didn't notice what her father and the others were doing. Seeing everyone laughing, she didn't know what was going on. She looked blankly and followed suit, laughing and clapping her hands.

Seeing Li Xuewu's daughter so cute, everyone laughed even more happily.

Han Shu stood up and busied herself going to the kitchen. When passing by Li Xuewu, she patted his shoulder with great appreciation.

She was extremely satisfied with this student. His academic achievements couldn't explain his potential and ability; they only showed that he was even more formidable.

Being able to do well in his studies without delaying his work shows his talent.

Han Shu wanted to go to the kitchen, and Xie Dajie wanted to help. Gu Ning wanted to stand up, but her shoulder was pressed down by Xie Dajie.

"Just watch the child, you don't need to."

Xie Dajie smiled and said to Gu Ning, "The kitchen is only so big. If you go, you won't be able to turn around."

She is indeed working in the Personnel Department; she rounded off these words. She was taking care of Gu Ning, but these words were also said for Gu Weijie to hear.

Speaking of women, Gu Weijie's relationship with Han Shu, and the fact that they were all here to play today, she was afraid she would overthink, and also afraid she would be embarrassed, so she killed two birds with one stone.

After she left, Gu Weijie looked at Gu Ning with great kindness, and nodded when Gu Ning noticed her gaze.

Everything that needed to be said had been said, and the atmosphere in the living room became a bit more active.

Because Li Xuewu and Gu Weijie were both there, Dong Wenxue talked about the main work and contradictions of the Steel Mill.

Li Xuewu listened for a while, and combined with what his teacher said at Li Huai De's place yesterday, he knew where the focus was.

It was still Yang Zongfang and the other deputy positions. Because of the mid-year meeting, because Dong Wenxue was moving forward, and because of the background changes of these people in the Steel Mill, the overall situation of the Steel Mill was affected.

Li Xuewu treated this problem very seriously. When Dong Wenxue finished speaking, he clearly expressed his attitude: whoever jumps, hit them; absolutely no leniency.

Gu Weijie wasn't very surprised by Li Xuewu's attitude, nor was she surprised that he expressed such aggressiveness in front of her.

Because Li Xuewu had always had this attitude in internal management; he thought this way and acted this way.

And look at which cadre in the Security Department dared to cause trouble or pick a fight. When the Armed Forces Department and the Security Department merged, Ding Xuebo from the Logistics Office made a scene once.

And that was with her support. He was directly sent to the training ground, and he is still doing logistics work now.

This is a person who doesn't suffer losses, doesn't get fooled, and is hard to provoke. Could he allow Dong Wenxue to leave him a big mess?

However, regarding the content Dong Wenxue mentioned, Gu Weijie also held the same attitude as Li Xuewu.

Development requires stability. If the people under him all have other ideas, that would be terrible!

Hit them, just like Li Xuewu said, whoever dares to jump, hit them, and without mercy.

Li Xuewu said it this way, so it included everyone, including Yang Zongfang.

What about Yang Zongfang? What does he have more of!

Don't look at Li Xuewu kindly persuading him to assist Dong Wenxue, and also guaranteeing that he would definitely have a position for development at Dong Wenxue's place.

The relationship between the two was still good; there was the comradely feeling of work, and also private friendship.

But none of this could become a reason for Li Xuewu to hinder Dong Wenxue from strictly managing the Steel Mill, and he wouldn't become an obstacle to Li Xuewu's normal succession.

No one has this qualification!

Ren Xiaoyu was sharp, Dong Wenxue was weak; no wonder the two had a good friendship.

But in terms of Steel Mill management, he didn't need Ren Xiaoyu to remind him, nor did he need Li Xuewu to support him; Dong Wenxue knew the pros and cons.

Saying this today was all for Gu Weijie to hear, because Gu Weijie was in charge of the Party Organization Department, and he would have to deal with Gu Weijie more in the future.

Gu Weijie understood, but didn't promise anything. Look at specific things specifically; saying this today was meaningless.

The lunch was very sumptuous. In this era, it had already exceeded the standard for guests, mainly because summer vegetables were cheaper and easier to get.

However, the minds of the few people who came as guests were not on eating. Not much wine was consumed at the table, but a lot of words were spoken.

They didn't talk about work anymore, but changed the topic, talking about the current political and economic situation, and the children who were lively at the table.

There were many people eating today, so the children were arranged at the coffee table. The food was the same, and the liveliness was on par.

Dong Mengyuan could finally be considered happy today; the house was far too lively. He was quite enthusiastic, taking the initiative to host the older brothers and sisters from Uncle Ren's family, and from time to time, he would even join the adults' table to join in the fun.

But liveliness eventually has a time to disperse. Lunch was the liveliest time today. After a cup of tea after the meal, everyone dispersed.

Ren Xiaoyu and his wife lived nearby, so they walked back with the children. Gu Weijie was picked up by a driver. Li Xuewu and Gu Ning were kept by Han Shu for a while, but they also stood up to say goodbye after Li Shu woke up from a nap.

Pinching the slightly lonely chubby face of the little junior brother, Li Xuewu took his wife and daughter to rush back amidst Li Shu's excited shouts.

It was hot at noon. Thanks to driving the command vehicle; if it were the Willys, wouldn't it be roasted to oil?

Even so, when they got home, they were complained about by his mother, saying the heat roasted the child, and also saying he was tossing Gu Ning around. In short, it was the son's fault.

Li Xuewu couldn't talk back to his mother, and he also knew how to cherish his wife and daughter, so he turned his mother's complaints into awareness.

Awareness is that at this time, he should go back to the backyard for a nap. Mainly because he got up early, and was talking all morning, so he was a bit tired at noon.

Li Shu couldn't sleep, and didn't want to stay at home. Seeing her father yawning, she knew her father wanted to sleep.

Seeing her mother also looking like she was going to sleep with her father, her little legs scrambled and she begged her grandmother for a hug.

After the old lady picked her up, she pointed outside with her little finger, wanting to go out for a stroll.

This is the consequence of Li Shu taking a short nap; her battery recovered to 60% and she was excited.

Li Xuewu couldn't take it anymore, and Gu Ning also started to feel tired after becoming pregnant, so the couple saw Li Shu making a fuss and very simply went out the door, turned left, and went back to the backyard.

Seeing her father and mother leave, Li Shu clapped her little hands happily. She quickly directed her grandmother to walk outside, play quickly, and don't delay time.

The old lady didn't go out on weekdays. Holding her, where could she go? She could only go to the Bai Bai Xiyuan.

The store in the Bai Bai Xiyuan was lively, because the doors and windows were all open, so it was cool.

Seeing many people inside, the old lady found a chair near the door, put Li Shu, who was wearing little shoes, on the ground, and let her stand by holding her legs.

The second-hand store here mostly had old furniture and refurbished furniture, and there were also those that needed to be newly made, but most were as supplements.

At this time, the area of each family's room was not large, so they had to measure the size before asking a carpenter to make furniture; otherwise, they couldn't put it down even if they bought it, and it wouldn't be convenient to use.

Grandfather here was worried that the furniture wouldn't sell if made, so he only made daily-use ones, inevitably tables and chairs. This size was fixed, and also movable, and sold quite well.

Yu Li also saw the old lady holding the child over, but there were many people at this moment, so she couldn't take care of them.

Until she sent a wave of guests away, she took the time to ask for a small piece of heart-tip from Xiao Yan next door and handed it to Li Shu to gnaw on. Her mouth was busy with the old lady: "Is Li Shu's clothes small again?"

"Go be busy, don't worry about us."

The old lady smiled and patted Yu Li's arm lightly with her hand, signaling the guest who came in at the door for her to entertain.

Diliya and Wang Yamei were busy, and she just said a word and went to receive customers.

Diliya was also pregnant, and Yu Li didn't dare to let her get tired, so she arranged for her to sit behind the counter to collect money and issue tickets, while she ran back and forth between the front and back yards with Wang Yamei.

The space in the front store was not large, and what was displayed were samples and hot-selling items. If customers had other needs, or liked other styles, they had to be led by them to the back yard warehouse to see.

Sometimes when coming to order a whole set of furniture, they had to ask Grandfather to come over to discuss details such as style, type, wood, size, etc.

This side supported home delivery. Large items like furniture needed transportation and strength even more. Finding the transport team on the street cost at least five more cents. This service made this small store have customers every day.

Seeing Yu Li go to be busy, the old lady lowered her head to look at Li Shu, who was standing on the ground holding the heart-tip and observing the people in the store, and teased her: "Who gave you the delicious food? Was it your aunt?"

Li Shu looked at her grandmother, raised her hand to signal the food in her hand, then said "Ah", took her hand back, and put the heart-tip in her hand into her mouth to gnaw.

Her little teeth were all baby teeth, only those few, where did she have any strength? It was just that she didn't want to keep her mouth idle.

It was the same as eating fruit, all relying on grinding, grinding the food into fine dregs and then chewing and swallowing in the mouth. Children are all like this.

Because the marinated food had flavor, although Li Shu didn't know what this thing was, it was true that it was delicious to eat.

Her little hands were small, and the heart-tip was also small. Fortunately, she ate slowly, all as killing time.

The old lady knew that Yu Li protected Li Shu. This had a relationship with Li Xuewu, and also had a relationship with Li Shu not having received less care from Yu Li since she came back. These little clothes were basically made by Yu Li.

She herself was busy with the work here, and the cloth tickets and such were all left over from daily life. She couldn't bear to make clothes for herself, but she could bear to make them for Li Shu.

At this time, fine cotton cloth was expensive, and Yu Li used this for Li Shu, and made several sets at a time.

Don't say the old lady maintained Yu Li; she saw clearly and reasoned clearly.

How could a child's clothes be newly made every piece? They grow fast, and change fast. They dare not recognize them if they don't see them for three months.

There are children who grow fast; isn't it just changing a batch of clothes every three or four months?

The practice at this time was basically passing down. Adults' clothes were changed into children's, older brothers' clothes passed to younger brothers. Sometimes if not handled well, younger brothers could also receive clothes from older sisters, such as skirts and such.

This is not up to you. It's not bad to have something to wear. If you get a skirt to wear today, you can go out. If you don't get it, you can stay at home with your bare bottom.

It's rare for Li Shu to have no worries about food and drink, and no worries about clothes. After all, no family's child has such a good father, good mother, and good family, and even fewer have these aunts who love them.

Used to this side, Li Shu was not afraid of people. Whoever caught her would hold her for a while. Diliya also held her before, and now Wang Yamei would come over to tease her when she had time.

Their family had two children, she was the youngest, and didn't have any younger brothers or sisters to play with. Seeing Li Xuewu's child, she was so fond of her.

The old lady was not very familiar with this girl who was wearing flower cloth sandals, blue pants, white top, and two pigtails. She only knew she was found by Biaozi.

Actually, until today, the old lady knew very little about the bottom of the recycling station here, and didn't care much about this.

Said it was an in-law's, but where did she not know the actual situation? But how much her grandson held shares here, and how much he managed, she didn't know at all.

However, she also asked less, and didn't even listen. Listening too much made her annoyed.

Young people always have young people's ways of living, just like Li Xuewu buying soda by the box at home.

Waiting for Wang Yamei to be busy, when Yu Li came over, the old lady asked her softly who the girl with the double pigtails was.

Yu Li of course knew the old lady wasn't asking what Wang Yamei's name was, and wasn't asking where she lived, but asking about the relationship.

It was normal for the old lady not to know Wang Yamei's relationship since she hadn't come many times in the past few weeks, but how could she explain it?

Li Xuewu's sister-in-law?

"It's... it's her sister."

Yu Li glanced at Wang Yamei, and took the opportunity of coaxing Li Shu to whisper to the old lady: "Relationship with Xuewu and Biaozi and the others is good."

The old lady twitched the corner of her mouth, finally knowing the girl's background. It turned out she was really a "relationship household."

Her guess of course had roots and basis. After all, who working here wasn't a "relationship household"?

Even Second Master Ye had contact with Erhai, and later helped Old Biaozi several times, which led to today's decency.

Without relationship, could one enter this kind of unit?

The old lady understood and didn't ask anymore. Since she was here, she must have been arranged by Li Xuewu. What could she, as a grandmother, say about the specifics?

She could maintain the one right in front of her eyes, and she couldn't manage the others she didn't know.

Yu Li was also a bit embarrassed when talking about this, mainly because of her relationship with Li Xuewu. Saying this always felt like that kind of meaning.

But it was the old lady who asked, and the relationship between the two was good, so there was nothing else.

"Have you gone home recently?"

"No~ where is there time!"

Yu Li squatted on the ground, her arms around Li Shu. Li Shu stood by her side, and the two were very intimate.

"Tossing back and forth takes half a day, and staying at home for a night, busy running back, it's not worth it."

After finishing, she smiled and looked at the old lady: "I don't know if I'm used to staying here, I always feel my own home is good, and I always feel uncomfortable going back to my mother's home."

"Heh heh~"

The old lady smiled without speaking. She understood Yu Li's current mentality very well. Her own house was more spacious and comfortable than her mother's, and she could also earn money to support the family. This mentality naturally was more independent.

Compared to those women who ran back to their mother's home crying for warmth, she had too many reasons to say this.

Yu Li asked for a kiss from Li Shu, smiled and gave Li Shu a kiss, saying: "My younger brother often comes, and doesn't go home even on holidays, always running here."

"Being close is still..."

The old lady's sentences were sometimes inverted, sometimes colloquial. Anyway, they were all sitting and chatting, and they could all understand.

"Working at the Steel Mill, is it tiring?"

"Tiring what~ running here to hide in peace~"

Yu Li smiled and explained: "Isn't this it, seeing him enter the factory, and it's in the security department, there are people introducing marriage in the family, he doesn't want to, so he doesn't think about going home."

Speaking of her younger brother, Yu Li was also worried. It wasn't worrying about the previous kind of recklessness, but her younger brother's current thoughts.

What kind of family were they? Her father was a reckless person in the village. What the old reckless person gave birth to was a small reckless person.

Younger brother Yu Zhe caused trouble from small to big. Compared to Li Xuewu, he would also spoil people.

Li Xuewu was naughty, but it was all purposeful. Yu Zhe wasn't; that was reckless and reckless, just doing reckless things.

Because of her father, it was hard for her to find a husband's family. If it weren't for her good appearance, it would be impossible to find the East City side.

The Yan family originally liked her because of her good appearance, and the bride price was low.

Her father originally wanted to ask for more, but was slapped by her second uncle, telling her father that if he dared to harm his children again, he would break his legs.

At this time, the concept of the eldest brother being like a father still existed. Yu Li also married into the city because her second uncle made the decision and asked for less bride price.

It was in the suburbs, and the family was an ordinary farmhouse. What Yu Li worried about most was not Yu Zhe's object problem, but the life problem.

It was also caught up. Li Xuewu arranged for her younger brother to enter the factory to work. With a job, he had a human appearance.

But after going to work, this kid didn't cause trouble, but his attitude towards marriage changed, a bit looking down on the village girls.

What is called a toad that has gone ashore not liking the toad in the water? Her father almost introduced a small widow in the village to Yu Zhe, but now he is a bit cocky.

However, Yu Zhe's jumping is jumping, but his temperament has changed a lot. It's not the kind of messing around before, and he has his own ideas.

Left and right is her own younger brother. What can she do? Her father came to look for her once, was persuaded by her, and didn't manage his son anymore.

Used to worry about work, now worry about objects. Finding one in the village who knows the roots and bottom is still okay. If he shakes like this in the city, any pair of eyes will be blurred.

Is the little girl in the city easy to get along with?

Yu Li lives here, how could she not know? The hutong here is not lively. Going further in, that side is the Central Drama, and there are other schools and units. There are plenty of little girls passing by the hutong entrance every day.

The little girls now are different from the previous ones. Not to mention pursuing progress, they also have to pursue ability and fashion.

Not mentioning others, just say her younger sister Yu Haitang, how many objects has she changed?

This one is not progressive enough, that one is not romantic enough, and meeting another one, she dislikes the person's background is not good. In short, there is no stability.

If he really found one like Yu Haitang, their family would really be lively.

"Take it slowly, whose family isn't?"

The old lady nodded and said understandingly: "A family with a daughter is sought by a hundred families, a family with a son worries about breaking their head. Isn't every family in this courtyard living like this?"

"You are still saying!"

Yu Li saw that there was no one here, held the old lady's legs and whispered: "Second Aunt in the backyard entrusted someone to introduce a blind date for Liu Guangtian. Looking at that appearance, she is also anxious and angry."

"Can she not be angry? Their family is like that~"

The old lady sighed and said: "Her illness won't be good for a while, and the family is in such a situation, it's not easy to find."

"If you don't find it, it's really hard to find."

Yu Li pursed her lips and said: "Liu Guangtian is addicted to playing cards, playing cards at the gatehouse every day. His parents dare not manage him. First Master sees it and pretends not to see it. It's going to be ruined."

The old lady frowned, lowered her head to look at Yu Li, and said: "You must teach your younger brother well. A man cannot touch two things most: one is gambling, one is opium. Once touched, the person is ruined."

"I know. He is more refined than anyone, the one who loves money most. Where is he willing to go play cards?"

Yu Li smiled and nodded, and said to the old lady: "Last time he came, he told me that his children must be taught well in the future, must have upbringing, must go to school, and cannot learn from the child's grandfather."

"Ha~~~"

Liu Guangtian came out of the house with a huge yawn, shaking his head and swaying as he did stretching exercises with both arms, only to see Li Xuewu come out of the room wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and khaki pilot training pants.

"Ah~~~ Wu Ge didn't go out?"

"Went out in the morning, slept for a while at noon."

Li Xuewu looked at Liu Guangtian and asked: "Are you just getting up too?"

"Ah... yes, I also took a nap."

Liu Guangtian was stunned when Li Xuewu asked this, but his mouth answered quickly.

Where was he taking a nap? He was waking up.

Knowing that he didn't have to go to work today, he played with a few kids on the street until midnight last night.

The light at the gatehouse didn't need to be turned off, and it was hot, just right for playing cards.

"How is the branch factory?"

The sun outside was a bit strong. Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes and dodged two steps into the cool shade behind Sha Zhu's room.

Liu Guangtian enjoyed this big sun very much, which gave him a feeling of being in the human world.

Playing cards for a long time would freeze time in his thinking, not knowing the passage of years, not distinguishing between black day and white night.

Now the big sun was shining, making all the cells in his body come alive.

"Sigh~ nothing interesting. Said it's busy, actually there's more time staying."

"That's not good?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "People want to take a vacation but can't. You want to be busy now?"

"Not really..."

Liu Guangtian narrowed his eyes and stretched his shoulders, saying: "It's just that the idle time is too long, and there's no bottom in my heart."

After finishing, he looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "Wu Ge, this tool factory won't go yellow, right?"

"Heh heh, if it goes yellow, don't you still have a post? Can it delay your salary?"

Li Xuewu took out a cigarette box from his pocket and signaled to Liu Guangtian. Seeing that he was a bit moved, he shook one and threw it to him.

Liu Guangtian caught the cigarette in a flurry and said a bit embarrassedly: "My post in the original workshop was quite good. If I go back and don't have a post, and become waiting for a post, I'll be embarrassed."

This was indeed the truth. People at this time were relatively motivated and responsible. Even if the salary didn't change, if the post was gone, they would panic in their hearts.

The key is that this post has nothing to do with salary. You can take 27 yuan to go to the workshop to turn parts, or you can go to the health team to sweep the toilet. How to compare this?

Li Xuewu's heart moved when he heard Liu Guangtian finish speaking, and then his eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "I can't say for sure. It's all decided by the leaders."

"However..."

After finishing the push-off words, Li Xuewu hesitated for a moment and continued: "The tool factory has an old foundation, and our factory needs it, so it won't go yellow."

"But it's hard to say!"

Liu Guangtian smoked the cigarette Li Xuewu gave him, stared with big eyes and said: "I see they don't engage in production every day, just engage in some big study and big discussion. The effort to post big-character posters is more than the time to cast tools!"

"Is that so~"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and nodded: "This is all engaged in. Didn't you join any team?"

"I..."

Liu Guangtian was asked by Li Xuewu and hesitated. He wanted not to say, but who was standing right in front of him? That was Li Erbala who solved big cases!

Who could hide from him?!

Liu Guangtian didn't dare to look at him directly, fearing that if he was glanced at, he would confess the shooting last night.

"Uh... yes, there is that..."

Liu Guangtian's mouth was like mixing garlic, stuttering, and finally said: "It's a study group organized in the workshop. I'm also following the study. I don't understand what this or that is."

"Quite good, study~"

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded: "Only study can progress. Who said workers can only bury their heads in work? Learn thought, use thought, think in work, work in thinking~"

"Still you say it thoroughly!"

Liu Guangtian gave Li Xuewu a big thumb very dog-leggedly, his face full of flattering smiles.

Li Xuewu raised his hand and pressed the kid's arm, smiling and saying: "Just like this, we are all in the same factory. If there is any problem, come find me."

He didn't dislike flattery, but Liu Guangtian's flattery and smile made him think of one person.

"Thank you Wu Ge!"

Liu Guangtian just stood in the backyard, watching with a grateful smile on his face as Li Xuewu crossed the veranda and exited through the moon gate.

After confirming that Li Xuewu had left, Liu Guangtian restrained the smile on his face, but his narrowed eyes didn't open.

His not-so-huge brain was thinking about Li Xuewu's words just now, and the reason for Li Xuewu's two shows of favor.

He wasn't a child anymore. What people say is what it is?

Besides, with his current status and position, what things couldn't he see clearly, what problems couldn't he understand, and could still be fooled by others?

But coming back to it, what exactly was Li Xuewu doing this for?

Club, billiard room.

Because the heat of the sun wasn't so sufficient, the temperature in the room dropped.

The window facing the street was half-open, and the passing pedestrians could only guess the liveliness upstairs from the figures flashing past the window.

Everyone knew that this big house had changed owners, but it wasn't clear who took it.

However, they heard that an engineering team was constructing here every day, and also saw someone digging drainage pipes and sewage pipes.

Most of the people passing by here were from the neighborhood or hutong, and were all familiar with this side.

This big house was also deep, and many movements couldn't be heard. Only the two-story building newly cleaned up facing the street had some movements recently.

It was just "bang bang click click," and they couldn't guess what was happening inside. It seemed like chiseling stones, but they felt the sound was a bit small, and the frequency didn't match.

Also, someone saw from the window that there was a woman standing on the second floor. What she looked like couldn't be seen, but the braids could be seen.

"I say, aren't you hot leaving your hair so long?"

"Still okay, all used to it."

A girl with a beautiful face and double pigtails sat on the sofa. She had been here for a while, but her eyes were still not enough to look around the room.

Maybe there were too many people playing billiards, the tables on the first floor weren't enough, and the tables on the second floor were already occupied.

There were waiters wearing uniforms with flower patterns on their chests wandering among the tables, helping to serve fruit or tea, and also going down to play together.

This table in the corner was very lively, four people surrounding the case laughing and making noise, but their movements on their hands were becoming more and more standard.

"Click! ~ Bang!"

One shot into the hole, Ma Jun smiled and straightened up, pointed at Zhong Jingxue with his hand and said: "Learn a bit, this is my unique skill."

"Isn't your unique skill running away~"

Zhong Jingxue didn't pay attention to Ma Jun's showing off, but leaned on the cue, looked at the few girls sitting on the sofa side, and asked Huang Gan: "No way, big brother, how is the age getting smaller and smaller? This makes me feel guilty!"

"Beautiful you! These today are not brought by me~ I don't even know them!"

Huang Gan rolled his eyes, waved at the sofa side, and said: "Xiaobai, sitting dry is boring, come accompany brother to play for a while~" ===== CHAPTER 741 =====
