Chapter 757: Working Man

"Need to report something to you."

Li Xuewu waited for Li Huai to drink his tea before continuing, "I have a convenient condition here, able to transfer an art troupe over as a complete unit."

"Art troupe?"

Li Huai put the teacup he was holding on the table and raised his eyebrows, asking, "What are you doing with this?"

After speaking, he sized Li Xuewu up and asked with a smile, "Could it be that the Security Division has reached the point of needing an art troupe?"

"The Security Division naturally doesn't need one."

Li Xuewu didn't care about Li Huai's probing words, but smiled and signaled toward Li Huai's direction, "But you need it, the trade project needs it, and the development of the Great Study and Great Discussion activities needs it."

"Oh?!"

Li Huai was suddenly startled, then narrowed his eyes slightly, his brain thinking rapidly.

Once it was about himself, especially related to the trade project and the Great Study and Great Discussion activities, Li Huai truly became serious.

Li Xuewu moved the teacup in front of him away, tapped the table, and explained softly, "Propaganda work is also key work. You can't just put your eyes on business!"

After speaking, he even reminded with a tone of blame, "Even if you are an old ox, you have to lift your head and call twice, letting people know you have paid!"

Having said that, Li Huai naturally understood, but this didn't mean he needed to transfer an art troupe over.

How many people are in an art troupe?

Good heavens, big ones have more than two hundred people, and small ones have dozens. These are people who are just kept without engaging in labor production.

If Li Huai really listened to Li Xuewu and transferred the art troupe over, he would be bearing a lot of public opinion pressure.

But Li Xuewu's words had never made a mistake. This was an extremely cautious person. You absolutely couldn't understand the things he did, and you couldn't understand them even more.

But don't worry, you'll understand in a few days, but by then it'll be too late; he's already done it.

Li Huai had suffered a lot from Yang Fengshan when he made his own decisions before.

But ever since he had Li Xuewu to help him advise, this was a success every time, and everything was successful.

Even if there were some setbacks, Li Xuewu's precautions and multi-path development hadn't been affected at all.

This time Li Xuewu spoke up, which meant it must be useful and crucial; otherwise, he wouldn't have talked about it in person.

What about the pressure?

As long as the benefit to him was greater than this pressure, then this matter had to be done!

"Tell me about it."

Li Huai threw the cigarette box on the table to Li Xuewu. He didn't smoke anymore himself, saying he would quit, which made Li Xuewu feel that his own smoking was meaningless, as if he didn't cherish life.

"This troupe is from the railway, not the general troupe, fifty-something people."

Li Xuewu took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but didn't light it, holding it with his hand instead, explaining, "Today is not the same as yesterday. The ways and methods of work, and the direction and methods of propaganda, are also changing."

"Why did the development of this activity develop so fast?"

Li Xuewu asked Li Huai a very key question, then didn't wait for him to answer, raised his eyebrows, "Because someone is doing propaganda."

"Right."

Li Huai nodded, frowned slightly, "The little brats are a force that cannot be ignored. It's being done everywhere, and development cannot be separated from propaganda."

Taking advantage of Li Huai's speaking, Li Xuewu lit the cigarette.

Blowing a puff of smoke, Li Xuewu said seriously, "The Steel Rolling Mill also had art work teams before, mostly spontaneously organized by workers, and the factory gave some support."

"But?"

Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes and said, "This force is not convenient to control, so it was placed in other units in several mergers."

"I see, next the work team is going to change its work direction. Whoever masters the workers' propaganda masters the right to speak."

Li Huai frowned slightly. The problem Li Xuewu mentioned was the main problem to be discussed today.

The two analyzed and prepared for the power vacuum after the work team left. But before they left?

Li Huai really hadn't thought about this carefully.

"Then... we can't do it ourselves, right?"

"Of course not!"

Li Xuewu flicked the ash in the ashtray, raised his eyebrows, "I see, it's appropriate to hang it under the Propaganda Division."

"Funds can be supported by the Security Division, counted as the construction participation of the Youth Commando, the trade project can also support a part, and the rest will be solved by the Propaganda Division."

Saying it's supported by the Security Division means Li Xuewu supports it; saying it's supported by the trade project means Li Huai supports it; what about the Propaganda Division?

How could Gu Weijie be left out?

Li Xuewu naturally understood the principle of three monks having no water to eat. This matter must pass through Gu Weijie.

Not only because Gu Weijie was the leader in charge of propaganda work, but also because this was the foundation and condition for the cooperation of several people.

Benefit sharing, right to speak sharing, don't engage in internal division and contradiction; unity is the hard truth.

"The small auditorium has been empty. I see it can be used as a training venue for the Steel Rolling Mill's art work team."

Li Xuewu took a puff of smoke and continued, "Choose a few themes to compile some programs, and perform reports for the workers after rehearsing."

"You can also compile the content of the trade project."

Li Huai narrowed his eyes and thought, saying, "Other projects can also be compiled in. It's a kind of propaganda both internally and externally."

"I see it can be done."

Li Huai tapped the table with his finger, then pointed at Li Xuewu and raised his eyebrows, "You do it, use your people, understand?"

"Understand."

Li Xuewu took a hard puff of smoke, and while pressing the cigarette butt into the ashtray, nodded in agreement.

Li Huai's meaning was very clear: he invested in this project and could make the decision to bring it up at the meeting.

Communication and cooperation with Gu Weijie would be done by Li Xuewu, and the management work of the art work team was also handed over to Li Xuewu for management, to avoid the problem of mutual distrust between him and Gu Weijie.

Of course, saying it was handed over to Li Xuewu for management didn't mean letting Li Xuewu concurrently serve as the manager of the art work team, but to control this team and control its management rights.

Li Huai had already figured out Li Xuewu's purpose in doing this; it was consistent with his development direction and was also strengthening his shortcomings.

Fifty indicators weren't difficult for him here. With the agreement of him and Gu Weijie, the Personnel Division wouldn't block it.

Jing Yunong naturally had no reason to block it. If she dared to block this, Li Huai would dare to block her construction.

After talking to Li Huai, Li Xuewu got up to say goodbye, signaled toward the next room, meaning he had to go back to communicate with Gu Weijie.

Li Huai wanted to get up to see him off, but was refused by Li Xuewu. He walked out of the office quickly and said two words to Li Haiyang.

In terms of being a person, Li Xuewu wouldn't easily give people a handle.

When he returned to the Security Division, Sha Qizhi greeted him from the comprehensive office and reported softly that the person who came was waiting in his office.

Because it was a female comrade, Sha Qizhi followed her in.

On the sofa in the room, Wang Yajuan sat uneasily. Because of the tension after observing Li Xuewu's office when she first entered, she was holding a teacup and hadn't moved yet.

It was different from what she had in mind. The office was large, with a dedicated secretary, and the desk was also large, matched with the file cabinets on the wall, looking very solemn and dignified.

Especially the meaning represented by this office made her feel that the person she was meeting today didn't overlap with her previous impression.

But when Li Xuewu brought the secretary into the room, her tension and thoughts were interrupted all at once.

"Sit."

Li Xuewu wasn't very enthusiastic, nor was he very cold, only walking behind the desk, while waving his hand at her, signaling her to sit.

The secretary carried the thermos to refill her water, but was refused by her, because she hadn't drunk this cup of tea yet.

Li Xuewu didn't talk to her, but picked up the phone and said, "Help me get Deputy Secretary Gu."

Wang Yajuan didn't know why Li Xuewu called her here. Her sister had said it mysteriously, telling her she must come.

It was precisely because Li Xuewu called her that she came; otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to go out lately.

It was just that she didn't know whether Li Xuewu was really busy, or if he had called her here on purpose and left her hanging.

"Hey, leader, it's me."

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Just came back from Deputy Factory Director Li's side, saw Secretary Hu."

"Hmm, yes."

Li Xuewu held the phone and said, "There's such a matter. I just communicated with Deputy Factory Director Li, and feel that our factory's propaganda power needs to be strengthened."

Gu Weijie was also surprised to receive Li Xuewu's call. Just now the secretary told her that she met Li Xuewu in the corridor and asked if the leader was there.

Hearing Li Xuewu say that propaganda work needed to be strengthened, she couldn't help but laugh lightly, "Then is Deputy Secretary Li coming to work in the propaganda department?"

"Hehe~ suggestion~"

Li Xuewu said with a light laugh, "It just so happens that I have such a resource here. An art troupe from the railway is going to be disbanded. I thought the opportunity was rare."

Wang Yajuan was naturally able to hear Li Xuewu talking on the phone in the office. Before she had heard two sentences, she heard this.

Thinking like this, it turned out that Li Xuewu called her here to talk about her work.

No wonder her sister went back and said it mysteriously, and even said it was a good thing.

"There's such a good thing?"

Gu Weijie wasn't easy to fool, and said on the phone with a smile, "This opportunity shouldn't be very rare, right? Art troupes outside are everywhere, and they aren't as rare as before."

"That's the truth, but isn't there a comparison?"

Li Xuewu explained with a smile, "You have a comparison when you go to the street to buy radishes. The radishes I have here are more solid and reliable than others."

Gu Weijie naturally knew what Li Xuewu meant by his nonsense. Since it was agreed by Li Huai, and it was Li Xuewu's relationship, she thought about arranging people.

But Gu Weijie's worry was the same as Li Huai's: would this art work team bring influence to them in this situation?

Whether it was positive or negative, she needed to consider it.

But she also knew that Li Xuewu was steady and wouldn't mess around, and wouldn't make such a big move just because of arranging personnel.

"Tell me about it, what's the plan?"

"Simple, hang it under the Propaganda Division, combine it with the Security Division's Youth Commando, the theme is trade projects, Great Study, Great Discussion, and other activities, and at the same time cooperate with the propaganda team to do propaganda work."

Li Xuewu's eyes didn't focus on Wang Yajuan when he was on the phone, but looked at the void.

But Wang Yajuan was looking at Li Xuewu, especially when he talked about the nature and significance of this art work team.

She didn't know why Li Xuewu wanted to help her. It definitely wasn't because of the old feelings, and it couldn't be because of the relationship that her sister worked for him.

Now hearing that the whole troupe was going to be taken in one pot, it wasn't just her work, but others too.

But hearing him mention radishes, she felt as if Li Xuewu was pointing at something. Was it like using them to do something?

"Oh, just this little use?"

Gu Weijie's meaning on the other side was dim, not looking like she agreed to this matter.

After Li Xuewu finished speaking, she asked after a long pause, "Let me consider it."

Consider what? Li Xuewu didn't have time to grind with her. If this matter was to be done, it would be done; if not, forget it. It couldn't be dragged out.

"Leader, other considerations don't need me to say more, right? You know it clearly in your heart."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "What is the propaganda team for? If it's not put on the horse now, someone else will put it on the horse. By then, the initiative won't be in our hands."

After speaking, he reminded like a joke, "You can't let the workers organize that kind of non-professional propaganda team again. Our factory's establishment and indicators are still there."

Gu Weijie knew Li Xuewu handled things crisply. Things that could be said on the phone must have been prepared, including subsequent problems.

It was just that she was still hesitating about the gains and losses inside, but seeing Li Xuewu say it to this point, she had to nod, "Then do it, but it must be carried out under the leadership of the Propaganda Division."

"That's for sure."

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "But I have already decided on the person in charge, so I'll just say it to you."

"Why?"

Gu Weijie asked with a laugh, "Are you really planning to take my position?"

"Wait another ten years."

Li Xuewu replied, and explained, "After all, it's people who pay, people who come, and people who are responsible for coordinating with the other side, right?"

Gu Weijie didn't care about this, only habitually retorted, but seeing Li Xuewu say so, she gave a sentence before hanging up the phone: "Fine, you're awesome."

Li Xuewu looked at the phone in his hand and hung up the desk phone.

Looking at Wang Yajuan who had already sat over, he asked, "How many people are in your troupe?"

"Ah?"

Wang Yajuan was still observing Li Xuewu and was stunned. She didn't expect him to hang up and ask.

"That... counting the dance, chorus, quyi, and instrumental music teams, there are sixty people."

"Sixty?"

Li Xuewu told Li Huai fifty, and told Gu Weijie fifty. This was his estimate.

When he went to see Wang Yajuan's performance that time, he looked at the number of people backstage and it was about that many.

Furthermore, the Steel Rolling Mill wasn't unlimited in number. The previous art team had an indicator of fifty people.

This was mainly because there were workers participating in it. At this time, there were many people who spontaneously and voluntarily supported performances, or contributed art.

Later generations see elderly people living exquisitely, which is because their mental state is good.

"The number of people is a bit too many."

Li Xuewu nodded, said a sentence, and then picked up the phone to ask for the D City District's phone number.

"Hey, godfather, it's me, Xuewu."

Li Xuewu talked about this matter with Zheng Shusen in front of Wang Yajuan.

"Hmm, it's the Beijing Railway Art Troupe, a small troupe, totaling only 60 people."

"Don't want them all, throw away 10 people. We also have indicators here."

Li Xuewu said to Zheng Shusen on the phone, "I've confirmed it here, and have already negotiated with the leaders, and decided on a person in charge."

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Yajuan and said, "Called Wang Yajuan, she's from their troupe."

"Hmm, let her decide who to want and who not to want, which counts as doing the preliminary reception work."

Listening to what Li Xuewu said on the phone, Wang Yajuan's heart couldn't help but thump. What did she hear!

It seemed he was letting her be responsible for this troupe...

Zheng Shusen understood Li Xuewu's meaning: he wanted to receive the establishment of that side as a complete unit and do the allocation directly from the personnel side.

"Wait for my call."

After saying this, he hung up Li Xuewu's phone and went to the Beijing Railway Section.

Although the railway formed its own system, the railway section was in the locality and had to have a good relationship with the locality. The phone on the East City side had to be answered.

Hearing that a local big factory wanted to allocate their art troupe, the people there were also stunned. After hanging up the phone, they inquired about it and called Zheng Shusen back.

According to the railway's idea, this troupe was to be completely abolished, and the personnel would be dispersed to do whatever they could.

Now that someone wanted to receive them, it seemed that someone in the troupe had walked through the back door.

They were eager for someone to receive them now, so they could throw away the things that were least advocated now.

The railway didn't lack this kind of art troupe, and was even less willing to cause trouble, so they agreed very readily to Zheng Shusen's words.

As for the requirements Zheng Shusen mentioned, the other side also agreed. Settling ten people compared to settling sixty people—which one was more relaxed?

Zheng Shusen heard the meaning in the other side's words. This was his godson's matter, so he naturally wouldn't not handle it.

Not only did he negotiate the establishment problem, but he also negotiated all the equipment of the art troupe.

Since it was a complete unit, the railway had no use for those things anymore, so they were all allocated together.

After Li Xuewu received his godfather's call, he said to Wang Yajuan with a smile, "Go back and prepare. Come to work in a few days."

"Ah?!"

Although she had listened for half a day, she still couldn't believe Li Xuewu's words.

When the notice of the art troupe came down, her sky was about to collapse. After running in vain for several days, she only felt there was no hope, and she had no hope of going on stage again in this life.

Wang Yamei said she cried, which was true; she cried for her fate, how it had become like this.

The shock came suddenly, and the surprise also came suddenly. Wang Yajuan didn't know what to say.

The railway system was certainly very good, but the Steel Rolling Mill wasn't an ordinary unit either.

Furthermore, it was the railway that didn't want them now, and the Steel Rolling Mill was forming a professional art team.

They only knew these talents. If they really went to the train to clean, what would be the point? Wasn't the point of coming to perform art?

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to her surprise, raised his hand to take the document handed over by Sha Qizhi, pointed at Wang Yajuan and said, "You go back and wait for the notice. It should be your appointment document first, and then the document for the overall transfer."

After speaking, he reminded seriously, "You are in charge. Cut off all the managers first. There is no shortage of cadres here, and you can handle the rest yourself. You must know in your heart who is making up the numbers."

"I..."

Wang Yajuan looked at Li Xuewu blankly, not knowing how to respond to Li Xuewu's words.

She had only been in the art troupe for a few years; how could she have the intention of being a manager, and she hadn't expected Li Xuewu to hand over this kind of power to her.

Li Xuewu lowered his head to look at the document, but said, "The factory's personnel department will handle the procedures. I will ask them to find you. Just provide the list to them by then."

"It was just transferred from the office."

Sha Qizhi pointed to the document Li Xuewu was reading, because Li Xuewu had already delayed for a long time, and there were urgent documents, so Sha Qizhi brought them over.

"Director Xu said Deputy Factory Director Cheng wants to see the work plans of each division for the second half of the year."

"At this time?"

Li Xuewu frowned slightly and glanced at Sha Qizhi, saying impolitely, "Personnel have just been adjusted. I have a plan, but what about Deputy Division Chief Xiao's?"

"Isn't this driving a duck onto the shelf?"

After saying the dissatisfied words, Li Xuewu signed his name on the document, handed it to Sha Qizhi, and said, "Tell Deputy Division Chief Xiao, and at the same time tell the factory office that if it can't be handed in today, then tomorrow."

"Yes."

Sha Qizhi knew Li Xuewu's meaning. The Security Division valued unity. Xiao Zihong had just arrived and hadn't mastered the work yet; how could he make a work plan for the second half of the year?

If Li Xuewu handed in his own alone, wouldn't that be disunity? So he had to hand them in together, waiting for Xiao Zihong for a day.

Wang Yajuan watched Li Xuewu busy, and opened her mouth several times but couldn't say anything.

Originally, she had the intention of going to the third industry, going to the station to sell ice cream, sunflower seeds, etc.

Now that Li Xuewu had coordinated the Steel Rolling Mill for her, she was naturally willing to come here.

No matter the reason, she wanted to say thank you to Li Xuewu, but didn't know how to open this mouth.

And seeing her look of wanting to speak but being embarrassed, Li Xuewu picked up the phone with a smile and said, "Go back and wait for the news. It should be very fast."

After saying this, he started making phone calls again, listening to him going to the Personnel Division.

He had already said he would coordinate it himself, so Gu Weijie wouldn't move, and it was said that all arrangements had to be handled by him.

But there was also a benefit. He handled it, so this art work team had to listen to him.

Wang Yajuan was led out the door by the secretary who had brought her, and looked at Li Xuewu, who was busy behind the desk, again before going out.

She felt Li Xuewu had changed. He wasn't the green youth from before, nor was he the young man who smiled at her in the street courtyard, but a mature, political person.

Today's unexpected joy didn't seem so joyful because she hadn't spoken a few words to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu seemed to be helping her, but also seemed not to be, like wanting to use her and these people in the troupe.

Saying Li Xuewu was mature meant she was still childish.

Isn't it very obvious?

Even if Li Xuewu had old feelings to help her, he wouldn't have meant to help more than half of their troupe because of her, right?

She didn't have such a big face, and those girls in their troupe didn't have old feelings with Li Xuewu.

If old feelings were used like this, then old feelings would be too worthless.

What's wrong with being used by others? This shows they still have value to be used.

If it were really like the railway's decision, they would have lost their value to be used in the eyes of the railway, and the only value they could embody would be labor value.

Today's Li Xuewu performed very officially, more like talking about work with Wang Yajuan, without any private feelings inside.

This also fits Li Xuewu's style of handling things: public is public, private is private, no need to mix them together.

Li Xuewu doing this was telling Wang Yajuan—he hadn't even hidden it from her when making the phone call, isn't it obvious enough?

I just want to use you, use your artistic value, to help him, help these people he is associated with to realize their respective purposes.

She had no room for negotiation in this matter, and Li Xuewu's official attitude didn't give her a chance to negotiate. Letting her serve as the person in charge had nothing to do with private feelings, but that Li Xuewu was more familiar with her.

That's all.

Letting a familiar person handle insignificant things, saving effort, this was Li Xuewu's initial thought.

Yes, in Wang Yajuan's view, an opportunity to continue pursuing art was insignificant in Li Xuewu's place.

Letting her remove those ten people seemed very cruel, but this was the first lesson Li Xuewu gave her, named power and reality.

Could Li Xuewu ask for ten more quotas?

Of course he could, it was nothing more than making a phone call to Li Huai and Gu Weijie to re-determine the number of people.

But why?

Li Xuewu felt that fifty people were enough to meet the work needs of the Steel Rolling Mill, so why bother raising ten more people?

Especially the managers of this troupe, Li Xuewu didn't have the energy to play any conquest game with them, just cut them off directly.

Just like he said, the Steel Rolling Mill didn't lack cadres, and it lacked even less people who did art. At this time, those who did art were the least valuable.

Of course, art is also divided into what kind of art. If it were really used by Li Xuewu and endowed with a certain theme and significance, then this art would be different.

To put it bluntly, there was nothing in Li Xuewu's place that couldn't be used. The artistic ideal that Wang Yajuan hoped to pursue for a lifetime was just a tool in Li Xuewu's place.

What to perform, what theme to propagate, all had to be decided by him.

Why?

Because he had the right to transfer these people, and also the right to withdraw the establishment.

Of course, Li Xuewu didn't hope to do so. He had brought such a professional team over, naturally, he wanted to make good use of it.

What?

You say ex-girlfriend?

So what if it's an ex-girlfriend? His own brother was working for him at the First Detention Center. In the face of survival, don't think about other unrealistic things.

Li Xuewu admitted that the world needed art, and even more needed people to explore and research art.

But he wasn't that piece of material. He just needed a pair of eyes to discover artistic beauty, and the rest could be left to the working man!

Some people and things just can't stand being nagged.

Look, what did Li Xuewu say? The changes in the work team didn't even wait for a day before they really came toward his words.

On Wednesday morning, Li Xuewu had just signed his name and was talking about work with Sha Qizhi when news came over the phone.

That was yesterday, Tuesday, when the work team issued a document, meaning to continue to carry out the Great Study and Great Discussion activities, combine with the four cleanup activities, deepen the inspection intensity, and continuously carry out the investigation activities.

But the document was issued, and news came yesterday afternoon that some members of the work team had been transferred away.

The work continued, but the number of people decreased, and the intensity naturally became smaller.

Empty city strategy?

It really wasn't. Kuang Yusheng called him, saying the sky was about to change.

Li Xuewu curled his lips. He didn't feel Kuang Yusheng was exaggerating. The sky was about to change, but it wasn't a sign that appeared right now.

Kuang Yusheng mentioned a situation. Starting today, the work team was making new tricks again.

It wasn't Deputy Director Feng; Deputy Director Feng had returned to the above yesterday. Now the person presiding over the work team's work was Peng Yonghong.

It was said that Peng Yonghong went to the workshop to hold an on-site meeting, talked about the work team supporting the workers, and said that the first thing the Great Study and Great Discussion needed to solve was the ideological problem proposed above.

He required workers to adopt a bottom-up approach and conveyed the latest trends of the work team, requiring them to must extensively gain the support of the masses.

Peng Yonghong emphasized that basic-level organizations must break various conventions and dare to hold an opposing attitude toward the above.

This was just what Peng Yonghong said in the workshop. In the conference room, Peng Yonghong held a meeting for the Production Management Division and mentioned that the above had already said that even if this caused a certain degree of change and chaos, it wouldn't matter even if the basic-level organizations stopped activities for a while.

Good heavens, this really gave Ku

If Li Xuewu had to say, in politics, Li Huai was more mature than Yang Fengshan and understood management art better.

Of course, in terms of business, it could only be said that Li Huai was just so-so. After all, he was his own leader, and it wasn't very good to say that people didn't understand anything.

But Li Huai really didn't exceed Li Xuewu's psychological expectations much. This piece of material was really suitable to be a leader, the kind of leader sitting in the office.

Li Huai also felt that it was very suitable to partner with Li Xuewu. He didn't need to manage any detailed business; he only needed to propose a general direction, and Li Xuewu could arrange everything clearly.

On the surface, Li Xuewu was still a deputy division chief, only managing the business of the Security Division, but in fact, Li Xuewu could mobilize the resources of more than six divisions to handle things.

Relatively directly, the three divisions under Li Huai's hands must listen to Li Xuewu's mobilization and opinions.

Production Management Division and Technical Division Li Xuewu could also have influence, and Personnel Division handling things wasn't a problem, after all, there was Sister Xie.

Propaganda Division and Party Organization Department he also had a certain influence. After this mid-year meeting, auditing and discipline inspection were under his direct leadership. This influence was even more arrogant than Li Huai's deputy factory director.

Why Li Xuewu walked more and more steadily was because the road was getting wider and wider, and he had more to do.

At Li Huai's place, he couldn't pretend. This old guy was shrewd. You talk about business, he nods; you talk about what to do, he does what you say. But if you talk about ideological construction, he could definitely express his own opinions and insights.

Li Xuewu couldn't say what he compared with him, but at least he could say he wasn't confused, and even harder to fool.

Li Huai also told Li Xuewu a situation, that was Wang Jingzhang.

This brat was like he was possessed, and started planning to return to the division sequence again.

He felt that the joint enterprise had no future, or he concluded that he couldn't open up the work situation over there.

Anyway, it was just these few directions. He was shut out at Li Huai's place, but he constantly tried to contact these leaders to express his loyalty.

The big tree of the work team hadn't fallen yet, but the monkeys were about to scatter. Li Xuewu thought about why the work team didn't tidy up this brat, saving Zhang Guoqi from doing it when he came back.

He wouldn't do it himself; he thought it was dirty.

Zhang Guoqi was different. The two belonged to chickens pecking at each other, fighting vividly. How much trouble they made was within the range of understanding.

Old Zhang was coming back soon, Li Huai said. The wine business in Yuezhou was handled well, and the person was already on his way to Beijing. The office in Yuezhou was also in the stage of site selection and preparation.

Coming back this time, Zhang Guoqi should report on the site selection work, and at the same time, he would preside over the personnel recruitment and training work.

Gou Zirong of the Sales Division was also going on a business trip next, going around each development direction. This work was operated by him next.

In Li Huai's office, Li Xuewu received a call from the Security Division.

The people he asked Sha Qizhi to wait for had arrived.

He told Sha Qizhi to bring the people to his office to wait, then hung up the phone.

Watching Li Xuewu skillfully and impolitely using his phone to arrange work, Li Huai said with a laugh and a cry, "You are busier than me. You brought work here when you came to me."

Perhaps because Li Huai didn't manage the Security Division's business anymore, it seemed more relaxed when getting along with Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu didn't dare to treat Li Huai with a casual attitude. He took the thermos by his feet to add hot water to Li Huai's teacup, which made Li Haiyang, who walked in the door, apologize repeatedly.

"Alright, brother, we are not outsiders. I'll talk to the leader for a while, help us block the guests."

Li Xuewu smiled and patted Li Haiyang on the arm, signaling that he didn't need to care about him serving the leader.

Li Haiyang glanced at Li Huai. Seeing the leader smiling very satisfactorily, he also nodded and agreed with a smile, and walked out the door.

The secretary naturally had to do these things, judging how much tea the guest had drunk, coming in to add water, and also giving the leader time to react and rest.

Li Xuewu was different from others. Now Li Xuewu's status was getting higher and higher. As Li Huai's secretary, he didn't dare to be big with Li Xuewu.

Don't look at Li Xuewu still calling Li Huai leader and calling him brother; that was because Li Huai liked this kind of Jianghu spirit and liked young people like Li Xuewu having vitality.

Li Haiyang took Li Xuewu as a learning direction. It couldn't be said that he was an idol to be worshipped, but he was also a guiding light.

Look at him, he had progressed without any proud expression, getting along with the leader more and more humbly and cautiously, and being more and more polite and gentle to people like them.

Who could have imagined that this was the Security Division Tiger who personally carried a gun to spray the foreign spies, raised his hand to sweep off Fu Bin's hat, and grabbed the collar of Deputy Factory Director Deng from the small car?

Now this title didn't have the meaning of ridicule, but truly became a role that everyone needed to be in awe of in their hearts.

Fox-like cunning, tiger-like strength. ===== CHAPTER 757 =====

The letter contained some instructions from his father-in-law, some concern from his mother-in-law, and finally entrusted Li Xuewu to visit several relationships, not to miss the etiquette during festivals.

Li Xuewu had visited these families with Gu Ning before they were married, so he remembered them clearly. After reciting them once and reading the letter, he put it back in the envelope and went to the master bedroom.

Gu Ning was lying on the bed, obviously not wanting to pay attention to Li Xuewu. Li Xuewu didn't ask her, but walked directly into the bathroom and lit the letter in his hand with a lighter.

It was in the sink, a very convenient means of destruction.

Watching the letter burn, he threw it into the basin, and after it turned to ash, he turned on the faucet to flush away the last bit of residual flame.

"Is it Yangcheng..."

Perhaps it was the smell of paper ash; Gu Ning didn't know when she had stood at the doorway, looking at Li Xuewu worriedly and asking.

Li Xuewu didn't want to hide it from Gu Ning, and he wouldn't hide it from her. People's psychology was like this: the more secret something was, the more curious they would be if you didn't say it.

Rather than letting her worry, it was better to say it lightly and clearly, so she could have a transition.

"It's Dad's letter."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "The situation in Yangcheng has suddenly deteriorated. He warned us not to do anything wrong. He might need to stabilize things over there and avoid the current whirlpool."

Listening to Li Xuewu's explanation, Gu Ning also felt a bit panicked. Yangcheng was so far away; she couldn't take care of her parents if anything happened to them.

Li Xuewu could feel Gu Ning's worry, stepped forward to hug her, patted her back gently, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here. Dad isn't a person who likes to get involved in those things."

"Set your heart at ease. Mom said the most about you in the letter, worrying that you won't know how to take care of yourself and the child as a first-time mother."

Li Xuewu touched Gu Ning's hair and said, "We have to set an example, let Mom and Dad rest assured, and prove to her that you will be a good mother."

After speaking, he held Gu Ning's face again, smiled and comforted her, "Li Shu even said you are a good mother, right?"

Gu Ning pursed her lips and nodded, took the initiative to hug Li Xuewu, and said softly, "I'm a little afraid."

She was afraid because she knew her father's position, knew that it involved many relationships, and knew even more how severe the current situation was.

She was in the hospital, in the capital; the things happening on the street were right in front of her eyes. How could she not worry, how could she not be afraid?

Ordinary people weren't afraid of this, because they had nothing; they went to work to make money. What could it have to do with them?

But Gu Haitao was different. What he said, what he did, even a look, might represent his opinion or have an impact on certain things.

Gu Haitao wasn't someone who liked to get involved, but sometimes things found people.

He didn't want to participate in it himself, but there were always people pulling him, or deliberately trapping him in it. Were there few such things?

So in the letter, Gu Haitao gave Li Xuewu a very tactful signal. Like the big leader's choice, he also chose to endure, even if it meant going all the way to the bottom and going home to farm.

In fact, he was just thinking about it. The Gu family had urban household registration; where would they have land at home? Even the house wasn't theirs.

Li Xuewu understood his father-in-law's intentions very well. Taking a step back at this time didn't represent anything; on the contrary, it showed his father-in-law's great wisdom.

Reaching his step, it could truly be said to be sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you retreat.

But just advancing wouldn't work either. To this day, if he really didn't have that intention, retreating in the face of danger would show his realm.

And don't say that there would be no chance after retreating. According to Li Xuewu, just like what Mr. Guo said, what do artists fight for in the end?

The body!

The body is the capital!

See who lives long, compare who lives long and far.

A bunch of people are waiting here to compete. If you die first, then there's no way. I'll stand on your grave and curse, and you can't jump out to refute me.

Competing for length for a moment, on the contrary, traps oneself within the framework. Taking a step back, you can't really feel that the sea and sky are vast, but you won't be in danger, and you won't lose your bargaining chips for a counterattack.

This energy, Li Xuewu felt his father-in-law did the right thing; it's better not to compete. ===== CHAPTER 756 =====

"Do you want to call the Security Section?"

"No need, it's fine."

Li Xuewu put down the telescope in his hand, handed it to Sha Qizhi on the side, smiled at Xiao Zihong, and said: "I'm sorry, you just arrived at the Security Division, and I let you experience this."

"Sigh~ time and fate."

Xiao Zihong sighed and said to Li Xuewu: "I'm doubting whether I can be competent for this job."

"Take it slow, who wasn't like this?"

Li Xuewu comforted him, then said to Sha Qizhi: "Tell the factory Security Section, don't manage this kind of thing during the day, but must resolutely execute the safety management regulations at night."

"Understood."

Sha Qizhi naturally understood Li Xuewu's meaning. During the day with light, people's thoughts and means would be restrained.

But if something happened in the dark of night, it would be hard to say.

Isn't there a saying: on a dark and windy night...
