Chapter 745: Night Banquet

If the budget is not approved, you have to endure it even if she slaps the table with you; if you are not convinced, then you go manage finance.

Who wants to manage it?

Li Huai doesn't want to manage it anyway, so saying Jing Yunong stayed in the team and he went out, he doesn't envy Jing Yunong at all; he knows he can't do this position, and he doesn't want to do it.

Let him guard the budget pass—not to mention half a year, maybe in three months it would be spent, and he wouldn't manage finance at all.

So saying Jing Yunong looks a bit mean and demanding, the people below don't understand, but other leaders understand very well.

If it is said from the perspective of joint enterprise or personnel department management, then Li Huai must be arm-wrestling with her.

But on financial problems, he doesn't approve of anyone daring to criticize Jing Yunong's management, and he won't recognize it even more.

Li Xuewu also admits that this finance and economic management Jing Deputy Factory Director is indeed very powerful; otherwise, why would people say she is the deputy factory director in charge of finance?

After Jing Yunong notified the financial budget situation, she made work deployments for financial management and financial security management: learn lessons, strictly guard the pass, and prevent micro-problems.

Financial work is one aspect; Jing Yunong highlighted personnel management, combined with the employment situation of projects like the Joint Enterprise (Tertiary Industry), and made explanations.

All newly established projects are not allowed to recruit new people or expand recruitment in principle; all are based on existing employees for cultivation and use.

According to the current employee usage standards and the production work situation of the Steel Rolling Factory, the number of employees satisfies production needs, so in the next period of time, except for special projects or special tasks, the Steel Rolling Factory will no longer recruit workers on a large scale.

Jing Yunong's explicit expression of this attitude also made the hearts of the worker representatives at the scene tighten.

They also have families, so naturally, they would think about whether their children at home could smoothly enter the factory.

And from the current situation, in the short term, the Steel Rolling Factory has no ability and position scope to recruit workers again.

This also made Jing Yunong's subsequent speech attract the attention of the crowd at the scene even more.

"The Joint Enterprise (Tertiary Industry) Management Office is a supplementary plan prepared to solve the personnel problem of the Steel Rolling Factory."

Jing Yunong clearly felt the murmurs off stage, looked at the crowd below with a rational and calm gaze, and explained: "One direction of establishing the joint enterprise is the supplement of material and production condition materials to enrich the material life of Steel Rolling Factory employees."

"Another direction is to alleviate the increasingly serious employment demand and resettlement contradiction of worker families; this is complementary. If the joint enterprise cannot be built, then recruitment and resettlement will never be put on the agenda."

The warning meaning in Jing Yunong's words was very strong, telling the representatives at the scene not to affect the preparation and construction of the joint enterprise anymore; this is affecting subsequent employment and resettlement problems.

"The Steel Rolling Factory has a need for employment, so naturally, it should select and recruit workers from the families of Steel Rolling Factory employees. However, this is just a choice direction, not an inevitable result."

Jing Yunong expressed her attitude strongly again, looking at the crowd below with a sharp gaze and saying: "Who to choose and who to use is the execution direction decided by the Factory Office meeting research, not decided by any individual. If the Steel Rolling Factory needs an engineer, it won't choose a middle school student who just graduated."

"No need to mention family difficulties, and no need to mention personal situations; talking about difficulties, the Steel Rolling Factory is also difficult—the financial data is all here. I want to recruit everyone's families into the factory, but is this realistic?"

Jing Yunong should have been angered by the actions of some workers some time ago, and now she took advantage of this opportunity to vent it out.

"The Steel Rolling Factory belongs to everyone; only when the Steel Rolling Factory is good can everyone be good. How many people to use, what kind of people to use, and how to use them should all be based on maximum benefit and interest, not on talking about situations and looking at special cases!"

"Now the Steel Rolling Factory is cooperating with the textile factory in textiles, needing one hundred textile workers; I want to start production today—do I have to recruit one hundred people from our worker families and train them for half a year before producing?"

"Shouldn't it be gradual, using mature workers from the textile factory to do the foundation, first getting the machines moving, first letting everyone enjoy preferential and suitable cloth, making the cooperative textile factory alive, and having the ability to survive independently, before having the ability to expand personnel and develop and progress!"

Jing Yunong looked at the crowd below and said very strictly: "If the textile factory cannot be run, then how can we talk about recruiting workers? If the Steel Rolling Factory is destroyed, then where will you go?"

"When talking about welfare and treatment, I can talk about conditions and difficulties with everyone, but on production problems and economic development problems, if everyone talks about difficulties and conditions with me, then who should I talk to?"

"This is the last time I will reply to the recruitment problem of the joint enterprise; in the future, if anyone asks again, if anyone makes trouble again, everyone should think about whether the current economic situation of the Steel Rolling Factory allows him to make trouble, and whether everyone is willing to give up their positions to him."

Jing Yunong's sharp gaze swept across the audience, then she withdrew her gaze to look at the document in her hand and said: "Now I will talk about the preparation and development situation of the joint enterprise, including tertiary industry business."

"Since March this year, the Steel Rolling Factory has prepared to build seven joint enterprises and five tertiary industry enterprises; up to now, two joint enterprises and three tertiary industry enterprises have been completed..."

She separated joint enterprises and tertiary industry enterprises here, which is correct, because joint enterprises and tertiary industry enterprises are not the same thing.

The joint enterprise was proposed by Li Xuewu, a variant proposal regarding joint-stock enterprises; factories at this time were all sole proprietorships, and there was no such thing as joint-stock enterprises, so Li Xuewu combined the spirit of the document to create a joint enterprise.

The purpose of establishing the joint enterprise is also as Jing Yunong said, it is a supplementary setting to solve the rich products needed by Steel Rolling Factory workers and production, as well as to solve personnel problems.

Because of the special convenience of border trade, Li Xuewu wanted to use the joint enterprise as a production base for development.

However, things went contrary to his wishes; the development of the joint enterprise had twists and turns, and it was not in his hands, so the development direction was also not under his control.

Li Xuewu didn't ask about the cooperation with other factories anymore, nor did he manage it anymore; what kind of contract was signed with whom and what terms were set had nothing to do with him.

Li Xuewu naturally didn't know when the factory's tertiary industry enterprises were also planned into the joint enterprise.

Tertiary industry enterprises are actually purer in purpose than joint enterprises; they are for resettling personnel, and by the way, producing some products, so that they don't have to be supported by the Steel Rolling Factory.

Cold drink factory, labor protection factory, etc., were established by the Steel Rolling Factory, used to resettle some workers who could not engage in heavy physical labor.

Of course, later, because the allocation pressure of worker children increased, these factories also began to receive worker children.

However, it was still better before; the factory controlled personnel management very strictly, and like other factories, the Steel Rolling Factory didn't recruit workers either.

Li Xuewu listened to Jing Yunong talking, thinking in his heart that this person was really sharp, daring to lose her temper directly at the big meeting—she really wasn't afraid of problems.

However, what she said were all true words, honest words; everyone had a book in their hearts, and everyone was calculating.

If it were really like what she said, it would be good if everyone's relatives could come to work, but where would the money come from?

Can't everyone just lie on the ground and wait for death? One position for ten people?

Although the words were a bit intense, they were very consistent with reality, speaking with data, so there was no opposing voice at the scene.

Do you think there were no personnel from those small organizations at the big meeting scene today?

They weren't afraid of who the leaders on stage were; the reason they didn't dare to oppose Jing Yunong's words was because what the other party said made sense, and they couldn't oppose it.

Even if Jing Yunong's attitude was bad, one couldn't find any mistakes from the attitude alone.

Compared to the anger just now, Jing Yunong still used data to expound on facts, talking about the development direction and existing foundation situation of the joint enterprise and tertiary industry enterprises.

She also highlighted that the two enterprises that had already started production would realize expansion recruitment at the end of the year, and confirmed that this recruitment scope would only face Steel Rolling Factory employee children.

Note: Jing Yunong said the two enterprises that have realized production now, the time is the end of the year, and the recruitment scope is Steel Rolling Factory employee children.

This shows that Jing Yunong is realizing her promise, and also shows that she is working hard to solve the employment problem of Steel Rolling Factory employee children.

The first phase of recruitment for other factories of the joint enterprise will still be selected and recruited according to actual needs.

Li Xuewu could clearly feel the relaxation of the workers' emotions at the scene and the change in attitude.

This sharp leader, who was like a strong woman, didn't seem to be inflexible on the surface; she showed the family assets to the representatives at the scene, then said her requirements, and finally reported the achievements.

Between this push, hit, and pull, she explained her image and work direction to everyone, and also knocked open a gap in the work situation that had been restricted all along.

Li Xuewu's expression changed for the first time; Xu Si, seeing Li Xuewu raising his eyebrows, couldn't help but chuckle.

He didn't say anything, but that meaningful chuckle already fully expressed his teasing of Li Xuewu's surprise.

You have today too?

Hehe~ Li Xuewu was indeed a bit surprised, but not as intense as Xu Si felt.

This person couldn't stand to see him doing well; he was only happy when he made a fool of himself, so Li Xuewu couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.

After Jing Yunong finished speaking, Li Xuewu gave applause at the right time, and also welcomed Li Huai's subsequent speech.

Li Xuewu was looking forward to this appearance of Li Huai; it could be said that this was Li Huai's most important speech in a public occasion, and it was also his first work deployment speech after the new team division of labor.

Li Huai looked the same as usual, his face always carrying a faint smile; he swept a glance at the venue, picked up the manuscript, and began to read.

What was very surprising was that Li Huai didn't launch any speech regarding the "Great Learning, Great Discussion" campaign, but very routinely spoke about the current situation of the logistics office, scheduling office, and sales office, and made work arrangements for the three offices respectively.

This seemed to be the style or rhythm of Li Huai's work in the next half year, or was he intentionally concealing something?

Very plain and unremarkable, just expounding on the importance and development direction of the Joint Trade Project in the second half of the speech.

Taking the logistics office as the foundation, create a management and service system with production, resale, coordination, and service as the goal.

In the future, the logistics office will pay more attention to procurement and internal and external commodity service mechanisms, optimize the internal supply and demand commodity structure of the Steel Rolling Factory, strengthen external commodity supply and sales management, and realize the long-term goal of comprehensive logistics.

Taking the scheduling office as the axis, create a transportation management system with efficiency, service, function, and comprehensiveness, stick to one's own duties, and create more value.

The scheduling office will cooperate with the Beijing Railway Station this year to coordinate the transportation of vehicles, ensuring the industrial transportation, personnel transportation, and joint trade of the Steel Rolling Factory to realize more efficient and more comprehensive multi-functional transportation and service goals.

Li Huai mentioned in his speech that the scheduling office will cooperate with the Beijing Railway Station this year to obtain more railcar indicators.

What to cooperate on, how to obtain the railcar indicators—Li Huai didn't say this, but Li Xuewu could guess.

Last time in Li Huai's room playing mahjong, when Li Xuewu was deploying tasks, Li Huai said this problem would be handled by him; it seems it was handled.

This kind of person has a tight mouth; if it wasn't handled, he wouldn't speak about it at the meeting. Since he dared to say it, he wasn't afraid of others asking.

The content of the cooperation was nothing more than the commodities traded from outside, and the profit sharing generated during the transportation process.

To put it very simply, before, the Steel Rolling Factory's scheduling office applied for railcar tasks without spending money, because this was an indicator allocated by those above.

The number of railcars was just so many; once you used them up, they were gone; if you wanted to apply for railcars again, you had to wait and spend money.

Now Li Huai doesn't want to wait, and even more so cannot wait; he cannot let the trade railcars occupy the Steel Rolling Factory's own transportation indicators, so he can only cooperate with the Beijing Railway Station.

As for why "Joint Trade" was added in front of trade, Li Xuewu could guess that there must be units from outside involved.

However, looking at it this way, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing, or that the profit will decrease because of this; relying excessively on long-distance transportation to engage in trade, the Steel Rolling Factory doesn't have any innate advantages, nothing more than having a better brain than others.

Before, engaging in trade once required the scheduling office to calculate railcar indicators tightly and compress the number of tasks; now it's not needed, and it can be used openly.

Since they are cooperative units, if the Steel Rolling Factory wants to engage in trade, the railway station will definitely provide railcar and locomotive indicators for scheduling.

While the railway station creates transportation profit, it can also complete procurement projects for welfare commodities and other needed commodities for its own unit—why not do it?

Li Huai won't do a losing business; the trade project is the foundation for him to stand up again, and it is also one of his legs; he won't do things that are bad for the Steel Rolling Factory.

Enterprise management at this time is still very transparent; at this kind of meeting, the factory director has to make a work report, and representatives all have the right to review; if he says your work in the first half of the year is not good, you have to listen and change.

Li Huai wouldn't dare to dig his own grave, letting everyone feel that he lost money for the Steel Rolling Factory to create personal achievements; he won't take Jing Yunong's old path.

Hanging the Joint Trade with the construction of the residential area project is the development goal Li Xuewu gave him that is most suitable; all the money earned by Joint Trade is given to the residential area to build residential buildings—who can find trouble with him?

Now that Li Huai is doing this trade, there is a large group of firm supporters waiting for him to make big money, so that the residential area construction can be faster and they can move in quickly.

So when Li Huai talks about coordinated development, talks about the sales office expanding outward, walking out of the Steel Rolling Factory, and taking root and developing all over the country, it doesn't appear very blind.

With a coordination center, a scheduling center, and transportation ability, as long as you find suitable commodities near the railway station in the country, and can sell the products produced by the Steel Rolling Factory, then you can take root there and build the Steel Rolling Factory sales office network.

The representatives at the scene felt a kind of blood-boiling feeling; after all, if the sales office develops like this, does it mean more people are needed?

This is natural; the sales network designed by Li Huai and Li Xuewu cannot be managed and responsible by a group of people in the workshop or children; there is a complete training and management system.

How to do market investigation, how to talk about cooperation, how to choose network locations, how to arrange network environments, how to carry out sales and trade projects—all have been prepared for training.

Next, the Red Star Training Ground will open a sales training class to cultivate specialized sales management talents.

Then what about the people already sent out?

Of course not; most of the people running business outside now are old comrades from the sales office; Li Huai and Li Xuewu didn't hold much hope for their role, just letting them do a basic investigation.

The investigation is also very simple: find the county annals, carefully communicate and register with the local commercial departments according to the form, and bring back samples.

Then where do the students of the sales training class come from?

Very simple: select from within the Steel Rolling Factory; those with junior high school education or above can sign up, and those who pass the training can take the post; there is no such thing as an apprentice.

Select relatively excellent ones from existing cadres who are willing to go out for development, and combine these personnel to form a sales management team to go to the predetermined goals to carry out work.

New unit, new position, new opportunity—it must be stronger than being stuck in the workshop; then will capable people with brains want to do this work?

Secondly, it is the selection and recruitment of worker children; this has to start from those with high school education; even if it is junior high school education, it must have certain grades.

As for the finance and logistics departments built together with the network, that requires the cooperation of other units.

But this is a job of using people; which unit doesn't want it? At this time, as long as there is an indicator, there are good graduates waiting to enter the factory.

Just heard Deputy Factory Director Jing say that there is no recruitment this year, but here Deputy Factory Director Li opened a gap—is this called slapping the face?

Of course not; Deputy Factory Director Li said that it is necessary to fully select personnel from within the Steel Rolling Factory for training and exercise, and the next step is to select and recruit personnel from worker children.

This statement is completely consistent with the personnel content stipulated by Deputy Factory Director Jing; can such a loophole appear at this kind of meeting?

However, Deputy Factory Director Jing gave a recruitment gap, and now Deputy Factory Director Li gave another recruitment gap; the atmosphere at the scene finally became active.

Although the recruitment standard of the sales office is a bit high, it doesn't hinder the worker representatives from being happy.

Compared to the countryside, compared to ordinary urban families, the financial situation of Steel Rolling Factory worker families is still relatively good; it is not a problem to support several children to study.

As long as one has ability and motivation, is it difficult to pass junior high school?

It's just afraid of those like Bang Geng, who hasn't even graduated from elementary school and has already decided what to do after graduating from elementary school.

The children of Yan Fugui's family don't have much promise, but they are all junior high school graduates; this shows that even if the brain is not very good, as long as one is diligent, one can learn well.

At this time, which worker family doesn't have children, which family doesn't have junior high school students? Arrange one by one.

The workers now also see clearly: it's not that the Steel Rolling Factory has positions and doesn't recruit people, but that existing positions are crowded, and there is no ability to recruit people again.

Being able to solve the crowded state of existing people is the goal of these leaders in charge of personnel in the Steel Rolling Factory.

Looking at it now, building factories, developing tertiary industries, and expanding functions—isn't it just creating opportunities for this situation?

As long as there is an opportunity, one can wait; one cannot ask for everything—who dares to guarantee that changing to another person will be better than the current one?

Anyway, none of the crowd sitting off stage dared to stand up and say: "You are difficult, then you go down; I will go up and solve it."

Don't say, if there really was someone who dared to say this, at this time, he would really be used.

This is an era that strictly observes rules, and also an era with creativity.

In the subsequent time, Deputy Factory Director Nie Chenglin simply spoke about the work of the engineering office and service office, requiring grasping construction, grasping service, grasping ideology, and grasping skills.

It was just the same old talk, but without Jing Yunong's ups and downs, and even less of Li Huai's hidden mysteries; it was really plain and unremarkable.

However, this is not surprising; Nie Chenglin was adjusted down from the production supervising factory director who was "root-red and seedling-straight," and was also pulled off the horse by the department person in charge; his spine was broken, so where would he have the confidence?

Furthermore, the two departments he manages now are not easy roles.

The engineering office and service office both had their first and second in command changed; it's a big reshuffle; the new people aren't familiar with the work yet, and he can be familiar with it?

Another thing, the service office was noisy before; now Wang Jingzhang has patted his butt and left, leaving such a big mess—how is he supposed to clean it up?

Not to mention subsequent work arrangements; first boost the morale of the engineering office, and then beat down the arrogance of the service office.

Dong Wenxue was the second to last to speak, and also spoke quite a bit, mainly about the reform and transformation of the Steel Rolling Factory.

He works in the Steel City; although the Steel City Steel Rolling Factory has also raised its level now, it is far away after all; if he wants to obtain support in projects and work, he has to seize every opportunity to sell and promote his ideology and work direction.

From the current situation of the Steel Rolling Factory, he spoke about transformation and development, and then spoke about the development direction of tertiary industries and hardware small commodities.

He spoke very meticulously and also had content; the leaders on stage were looking at the materials about the Steel Rolling Factory in their hands, listening with their ears, watching with their eyes, and thinking in their hearts.

Until Dong Wenxue's speech finished, he didn't mention the work deployment and arrangement of the security office for the second half of the year.

People with clear eyes know that this is Dong Wenxue leaving room and opportunities for his students; he is in charge of the security office now, but intentionally doesn't make deployments, which is supporting Li Xuewu to do work according to his own ideas.

This kind of support can be said to be unique, which is appearing in the situation where he has taken on more important duties and has no time to preside over the work of the security office, handing over all authority to his students.

Especially when a second deputy chief appeared in the security office, Dong Wenxue had to deepen the Steel Rolling Factory crowd's understanding of this profound impression.

Dong Wenxue's speech implicitly released comprehensive support for Li Xuewu, and also made a strong feedback on the sudden addition of a deputy chief to the security office.

Xiao Zihong was originally a chief, presiding over the work of the engineering office; now demoted to the security office—how he will get along with Li Xuewu is hard to say.

But the result is certain: Dong Wenxue is the chief of the security office, but he is also the Deputy Secretary of the Factory Party Committee, a Party group member, the Party Secretary of the Steel Rolling Factory, and the Factory Director.

Li Xuewu is the Deputy Chief of the Security Office, Party Group Secretary, but he is also a Party Committee member and Deputy Secretary of Discipline Inspection.

How to fight?

Others don't know clearly, but Xiao Zihong is already numb; he is on the roof, and there are "Dragon Brothers" all around.

Dong Wenxue not talking about the work of the security office now is also protecting himself; he has a bit too many duties on him now.

This is also the reason why it was decided at the team meeting that in the next three years, his duties would be "slimming down."

Resign from the position of Chief of the Security Office within two years, and resign from the position of Factory Director of the Steel Rolling Factory within three years.

Slimmed down, maybe the duties will go a step further.

Dong Wenxue's speech seemed to have exhausted the patience and tolerance of the crowd at the scene, because it was already five o'clock, and it was time to get off work soon.

Xiong Bencheng started speaking in this situation, and coupled with this old man's extremely slow speaking speed, and drinking hot tea from time to time, the meeting scene appeared very dull.

Fortunately, he also knew he wasn't an important person, no one listened to his speech, and the content was dry—talking about unity, development, learning, labor glory, etc.

However, after his speech ended, the applause he obtained was the most enthusiastic, particularly enthusiastic, which also made this old man almost spill tea leaves on himself when drinking tea.

On the main stage, Yang Fengshan covered the microphone and discussed with Secretary Yang Yuan beside him, and asked for the opinions of other leaders, then made a brief summary, and then announced the formal closing of the mid-year work summary meeting, the Representative Assembly, and the "Great Learning, Great Discussion" dissemination meeting.

Applause rang out again in the venue, sincerely rejoicing at the victorious closing of this assembly.

This assembly was an assembly that carried on the past and opened up the future.

The assembly realistically summarized the main work and basic experience since the beginning of the year at the Steel Rolling Factory, objectively analyzed the situation faced and the problems existing, and scientifically planned the development ideas, struggle goals, and work focus of the Steel Rolling Factory for the second half of the year.

The assembly deliberated and passed the work reports of the three departments, based on the new situation, new tasks, and new opportunities, focusing on the new goal of comprehensively building the Steel Rolling Factory at a higher starting point.

At the same time, it also expressed the common wish of all cadre employees of the factory to pursue higher and faster development, displayed the beautiful prospects of future development, and is an important document guiding the development of various units and departments of the Steel Rolling Factory in the second half of the year and even for a longer period.

The goal positioning of this assembly is high and far, inspiring people, and the establishment is consistent with reality and feasible...

"Chief..."

"Hmm, let's talk when we get back."

Li Xuewu and others stood up to send the leaders on stage away and also began to disperse and leave with the music in the venue.

The auditorium has many entrances and exits; as early as in the meeting manual, it was stipulated which area's people should enter and exit from which door, so Li Xuewu and these mid-level management cadres all came out from one door.

Sha Qizhi had been waiting here for a long time; seeing Li Xuewu coming over, he took the notebook and bag from Li Xuewu's hand.

Because the venue was too big and there were too many people, it was not convenient for Sha Qizhi to go in to pick up Li Xuewu, so he could only wait at the door; otherwise, these things should have been taken by him.

Li Xuewu just handed the bag to Sha Qizhi, but kept the notebook in his own hand; seeing him about to speak, he waved his hand to signal the direction of the security building, not letting him say the words.

"Deputy Secretary Li~ Deputy Secretary Li!"

Li Xuewu was walking when he suddenly heard someone calling him, but he didn't stop his pace until someone appeared in front of him blocking the road.

"Deputy Secretary Li, I am Xiao Gao from the factory office."

A cadre wearing "White plus Black" (a common cold medicine) was a bit out of breath and blocked Li Xuewu, introduced himself, and reported: "Director Xu asked me to notify you that there is a dinner party tonight to welcome the new leaders, and it is also a meeting between the team leaders and the heads of various departments."

"Oh?"

Li Xuewu frowned slightly, looked at this secretary, and said: "Help me ask for leave from Director Xu, just say I still have work at the Security Brigade tonight, I need to go over, so I won't attend the dinner party, please help me explain to the leaders."

"This... alright, Deputy Secretary Li."

Xiao Gao answered with difficulty and was about to run away to continue notifying other leaders.

But before he left, he was pressed on the shoulder by Li Xuewu; when he looked at Li Xuewu in surprise, he heard the leader say: "Call me Chief Li, or Deputy Chief Li is fine."

After Li Xuewu finished speaking, he smiled and pointed to the Party Committee building, signaling: "Haven't taken over the work yet, the title is not very appropriate."

"Ah!... Alright... Chief Li."

This Factory Office Director Xu Si is an old monkey, and these secretaries in the factory office are all little monkeys; they are very clever, and Li Xuewu just said one sentence, making the other party understand the meaning in his words.

Watching this secretary leave, Sha Qizhi reported softly: "It's the secretary who connects with the Party Committee, named Gao Tiecheng."

"Hmm, this name is good."

Li Xuewu nodded with a smile, looking very appreciative, which made Sha Qizhi also laugh.

"Then are you saying my name is not good?"

Sha Qizhi followed Li Xuewu's pace, tucked the bag under his arm, and made a small joke.

Li Xuewu patted Sha Qizhi's arm while walking and said with a smile: "Your name is even better; Director Xu said it's especially good, especially in the security office."

"That's Director Xu teasing me~"

Sha Qizhi replied with a smile, while also observing Li Xuewu's complexion.

This leader Li Xuewu is actually very easy to get along with, has a sense of proportion and boundary, and will never make things difficult for them, the people who do the work.

Take the shoulder-patting that leaders often use; Li Xuewu would never easily pat someone else's shoulder.

For those older in age and seniority than Li Xuewu, generally speaking, he uses gestures; if special contact is needed, he just lightly touches the arm.

Like them, the people working by his side, at most he pats the arm—that is expressing closeness.

Sha Qizhi had seen Li Xuewu pat someone's shoulder, and that was the captain of the cycling guard team of the security office, named Zhao Yajun.

Others hadn't been seen; if it was a female comrade, there was even less physical contact, and very few gestures were made.

And trying to obtain enough information from the face of such a leader to judge his emotions is very difficult.

Sha Qizhi naturally wanted to observe Li Xuewu's emotional changes, because the security office had relatively big changes.

Director Yu was transferred away, he was promoted, a deputy chief came, and an office director came.

Suddenly there were four position changes, but not a bit of wind had been transmitted before, and suddenly it was adjusted.

He was very confused, not knowing why a deputy director was promoted for him alone; although the level was enough, what was the situation with this move now?

In the office, he didn't need this deputy director to enhance his influence; as long as he was Li Xuewu's secretary, there wouldn't be other problems.

But if it was a deputy director, that would mean being responsible for specific management work and duties.

With duties come positions and responsibilities, so he could be considered the person in charge of the comprehensive office.

He wasn't thinking about what the deputy director was like now; he was mainly thinking about what this deputy chief was like.

The change in the leadership structure of the security office would naturally cause changes in the management structure below, and even cause a series of changes.

A deputy chief could affect the management structure, so what about adding an office director?

Sha Qizhi followed Li Xuewu back to the security building; at this time, the murmurs inside the office were relatively loud, it was about to be off work, and the radio was playing songs again, so everyone had no mood to continue working.

Li Xuewu didn't care about the office matters, but went up to the third floor and went straight to his office.

There were very few office documents on the table, because the eyes of the whole factory had been on the mid-year meeting for these three days, and related business had also been processed in the past few days.

So even if the meeting lasted until the off-work time point, there wasn't much work left today.

Li Xuewu took the tea Sha Qizhi had served and looked down at the documents on the table.

He didn't look at them carefully, just flipped through the registration form to see if there were any particularly urgent ones.

Generally speaking, particularly urgent documents of the security office were reported from below, such as those regarding cases.

It might be that before the meeting, Li Xuewu required the security office to strengthen training and security during the meeting, so there were no case-type document registrations in the registration form on the table.

There were some application-type documents, such as applying for materials or finance; these could basically be moved to tomorrow to handle.

He didn't plan to stay in the factory today, and even less planned to attend that dinner party; whether it was Dong Wenxue or him, they were famous enough at today's meeting, and he didn't want to be too ostentatious.

Li Huai definitely had to go; if he didn't go, it would be a problem—that would be not united.

Li Xuewu was very casual; he wasn't a main leader, and he held other work, so leaving also had reasons.

As for whether Li Xuewu was really going to the Security Brigade, that didn't need people here to worry about.

Just as he put down the teacup in his hand, footsteps came from the door.

"Deputy Chief Yu."

"Qizhi."

It was Yu De; Sha Qizhi, seeing Yu De walking into the door, took the initiative to greet him, and also changed the title to the current one.

And Yu De didn't have as big a reaction as Li Xuewu, just smiled at Sha Qizhi, and his attitude was the same as usual.

But when facing Li Xuewu, his expression became formal; his footsteps stopped at Li Xuewu's side, and he reported in a clear and gentle tone: "Chief, Director Tingzhi knows you can't attend the dinner party tonight, and wants to invite you to gather a bit later tonight; together with..."

Li Xuewu didn't let Yu De finish his words, but turned slightly and placed his hand on Yu De's arm, saying: "Help me say sorry to Director Xie, and explain that there might be a situation at the Security Brigade tonight."

After finishing, he looked at Yu De again, pursed his lips, nodded, and said: "Comrade De, congratulations."

"Chief..."

Yu De looked at Li Xuewu very contradictorily, then reached out and shook hands with Li Xuewu.

"Work hard; you should have walked to this position."

Li Xuewu smiled and shook Yu De's hand, saying very earnestly: "The roc rises with the wind in one day, soaring up ninety thousand miles; I believe your work in the service office will definitely be a bright future and step-by-step promotion."

Yu De pursed his lips and listened very earnestly to Li Xuewu's words; after Li Xuewu finished speaking, he gave a very standard salute.

Li Xuewu didn't return the salute, but patted his arm again and sent him out of the door.

Sha Qizhi didn't quite understand the implication of Li Xuewu doing this, not knowing why Director Yu came back to express his heart but was sent away by the chief.

However, the chief doing this must have deep meaning; what he couldn't see clearly didn't mean the chief did it wrong; it was very likely that there was another intention.

After Li Xuewu returned, Sha Qizhi had already tidied up the bag and office; once Li Xuewu washed his face, the two went downstairs together.

So what if he is a deputy director? Deputy director doesn't mean he is not Li Xuewu's secretary.

To say it, Sha Qizhi really didn't want to exchange secretary work for this deputy director position.

So he didn't think about wanting to exert influence on the comprehensive office during the time Yu De was away.

Even when following Li Xuewu downstairs, he occasionally heard people greeting him, calling him Director Sha.

He was already used to it; he was called this by others before, and he now still treated these as the treatment he received when he was promoted to deputy director section member.

Thirty years old, what can't he understand? He is just a director, and that is also because of Li Xuewu; it has nothing to do with himself.

If he really had ability, then why was he huddled in the corner of the office gnawing on data and wasting time before?

He is still him; Li Xuewu's mentality hasn't changed, so what qualification does he have to change?

Looking at the leader's low-key style of doing things, can he still not know what he should do and what to do?

Does he not know whether the Security Brigade has things or not?

Li Xuewu told him before going to the meeting to call the Security Brigade in the morning and afternoon to ask about the situation and work, and if there was anything urgent, go to the Security Brigade to get documents for him.

Before getting off work, Sha Qizhi was worried and called one, and the result was calm and peaceful, with nothing happening.
