Chapter 761: He

Li Xuewu was not being mysterious, nor was he playing hard to get to test anything.

Xiao Zihong had been at the Security Division for a week now; those who needed to leave had left, and those who needed to observe had observed. He could now officially intervene in the Security Division's work.

Li Xuewu would not restrict his authority, nor did he have any intention of playing power games with him. If it was his job, he had to take responsibility for it; if it was his burden to bear, he had to bear it.

When there wasn't a second deputy division chief, Li Xuewu had to shoulder everything himself, which was both mentally and physically exhausting. Now that he had a deputy, why not put him to work?

Of course, while power should be delegated where appropriate, control must still be maintained. Li Xuewu would not loosen his grip on the "single-pen" authority, nor did he intend to give Xiao Zihong or Sun Jian, who was standing before him, any room for illusions.

"From now on, please consult Deputy Division Chief Xiao first regarding the operational work of the various departments in the Security Division, and Deputy Division Chief Xiao will also be responsible for the specific execution."

Sun Jian recorded Li Xuewu's instructions. Although the Security Division currently had one chief and two deputies, the chief was not at the Steel Rolling Mill, so Li Xuewu, as the First Deputy Division Chief, was the person in charge of the Security Division.

The appointment document was very clear: the word "(concurrent)" followed Dong Wenxue's title as division chief. This meant his primary work was at the Steel Smelting Plant, not the Security Division.

Li Xuewu's name was also followed by parentheses, which contained: "Responsible for the comprehensive work of the Security Division."

The meaning was simple: Li Xuewu was already the Party Group Secretary of the Security Division. By also being responsible for the comprehensive work, he had everything except the title of Security Division Chief.

Xiao Zihong was a deputy division chief, but he was a deputy in name and deed—he was to do the work Dong Wenxue used to handle when Fu Bin was the top leader.

His work was basically as follows:

1. Assist the division chief in handling various affairs of the Security Division, providing decision-making support and suggestions.

2. Coordinate and supervise the work of the various departments of the Security Division, ensuring tasks were completed on time and supervising the execution of work.

3. Assist the division chief in administrative and educational management, including personnel, training, inspections, command, and so on.

4. Formulate and implement policies, participate in formulating the organization's policies and rules, and be responsible for implementing them into specific work and actions.

5. Assist the division chief in budget and resource management, and track and supervise the execution of projects.

To put it plainly, Li Xuewu had gained an executive under his command. This executive position had the authority for general coordination and management, assisting Li Xuewu in better managing the Security Division.

Being both a manager and an executive, Li Xuewu no longer had to lead teams personally to execute tasks as he did before; he could hand them over to the deputy division chief to handle.

Of course, taking the blame was also an option.

Li Xuewu didn't have any blame that needed to be taken for the moment. Working in the Security Division, he had never made things difficult for any subordinate—this might be the only comforting thing Sun Jian had managed to find out.

"Does that include the training ground and the collaborative projects?"

Sun Jian's question was tricky. He asked from the perspective of being on Li Xuewu's side, but his attitude was very vague; it was unclear what his stance was.

Li Xuewu raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Did Deputy Division Chief Xiao not go to the training ground for research? Or did the materials provided to him by the General Office not contain the project details?"

"No..."

Sun Jian was momentarily speechless. He hadn't expected Li Xuewu's attitude to be so sharp, and his gaze was so piercing that he didn't dare look him in the eye.

Li Xuewu sized him up, his fingers moving slightly, and continued, "The training ground's operations are quite special. Since they aren't at our mill and involve cooperation with other units, you should learn more about them and communicate and report more to Deputy Division Chief Xiao."

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "There are only a few collaborative projects within the mill. Previously, I was the one liaising with Division Chief Kuang of the Production Management Division and Division Chief Xia of the Technical Division. These should remain unchanged for now."

"But you still need to understand them."

Li Xuewu pointed at Sun Jian and said, "I cannot give you, or Deputy Division Chief Xiao, a long time to adapt to the new environment, nor can I say which work is more important."

"But when these projects need to be executed, I won't have time to let you learn about the project situation. Since you have arrived at the Security Division, you are people of the Security Division."

"Understood, Leader."

Sun Jian nodded very earnestly. Li Xuewu's meaning was clear; it could be considered a reassurance for him.

The work arranged for Xiao Zihong hadn't been obstructed at all, so there would be even less difficulty regarding his own work.

Work is work. Do what needs to be done. Don't take yourself too seriously, but don't take yourself too lightly either.

If it's someone's job, it's their job. Li Xuewu had no intention of holding onto things and not letting go.

Of course, when it was time to take responsibility, they also needed to take the initiative to step forward.

As he got up to leave, Sun Jian mentioned one more thing: "Leader, I received some news..."

The news wasn't accurate, but it was within Li Xuewu's expectations, and it concerned the working group.

It was unclear which channel Sun Jian had learned it from. Li Xuewu didn't express anything. After watching Sun Jian leave, he began to ponder while looking at the documents on his desk.

There were a few too many study documents recently, which took up a lot of Li Xuewu's time. What was troublesome was that these documents all required written ideological reports.

His status had changed; he not only had to care about operational matters but also had to handle ideological construction and study content.

The Discipline Inspection work had already been reported to him. The person who delivered the documents was a secretary from the Discipline Inspection Office.

When they held a meeting last Saturday, Xue Zhifu had chatted briefly with Li Xuewu about his division of labor.

Discipline Inspection was mainly responsible for two offices: Discipline Inspection and Auditing. Each office had two sections, namely the First Section and the Second Section.

Due to the nature of the work, these two offices didn't have many staff members, but they were all sharp and capable.

Under Discipline Inspection, there were also Discipline Inspection Committee members for each workshop and branch committee. For example, there were inspectors in the workshops in charge of Discipline Inspection business.

In all organizations, including grassroots organizations, a Discipline Inspection Committee member would be set up, and these people were also led by the Discipline Inspection Committee.

Some were part-time, but they still had to do actual work in their daily routines.

This period was different from later generations; cadres with supervisory functions really did things and really were conscientious and responsible.

Carrying out Discipline Inspection work was also much easier than in later generations, as the supervisory power was sufficient.

With supervision, there were fewer mistakes, so Discipline Inspection personnel were rarely seen in daily work because their main energy was still focused on maintaining supervision.

Just like the business Li Xuewu arranged for Xiao Zihong, Xue Zhifu also wanted Li Xuewu to be responsible for all the business of the Discipline Inspection Committee, but Li Xuewu refused on the spot.

Working one job and holding one concurrent post was enough. After all, the branch bureau really paid, but Discipline Inspection didn't say they would pay another salary.

Li Xuewu communicated with Xue Zhifu, citing his unfamiliarity with Discipline Inspection work and his heavy workload. It was better for his work to be focused on execution.

Discipline Inspection actions also required execution, and they likewise had arrest missions.

Previously, such matters were either handed over to the Security Division for assistance or handled by carrying guns themselves.

There were also interrogation and investigation tasks, all of which were included in the scope of execution.

Li Xuewu's meaning was that he would not participate in daily management work, but he would participate when there were cases that needed execution.

However, Xue Zhifu disagreed, saying that one must have more contact with unfamiliar business to become familiar with it, and if the workload was heavy, it could be coordinated.

Last Saturday was the meeting convened by the working group. Time was very tight; they were discussing the strong and excessive opinions from workers caused by the investigation work.

Deputy Director Feng proposed a comprehensive review of cadres below the mid-level at the Steel Rolling Mill, which was rejected by everyone during the discussion. The factory director even expressed clear opposition at the meeting.

This also triggered Deputy Director Feng's strike and backlash, leading to what happened later.

At the time, neither of them had the time to talk about this. Now that Discipline Inspection had sent the work over, Li Xuewu had no choice but to accept it.

Fortunately, there weren't that many management documents. That side also knew Li Xuewu's workload, and the cases were mainly for the purpose of understanding and becoming familiar with the work.

When Sha Qizhi returned to report after finishing his business, it was already past noon. He talked about the venue arrangements and mentioned the rumors about the working group.

His news channel was a bit later and more vague than Sun Jian's.

However, the main content was more or less the same: last night, or to be precise, early this morning, the person above met with the five main persons in charge, as well as the head of the working group.

In the conversation, it was stated that the working group had played a negative role in the work below and hindered the activities.

The wording clearly expressed that the working group was not wanted, and that the masses below should carry out the revolution themselves...

When eating lunch, he saw that the room reserved for the working group was quiet. When he came out, Li Xuewu glanced at it; not many people were eating.

When he talked to Wei Zai, this guy explained with a wicked smile that the working group had a meeting and had all gone back above for the meeting.

Based on their tacit guess, these people must have gone back to find out the truth.

There was no meeting at all; they just had no confidence in their hearts, didn't know how to carry out the next work, and didn't know if staying here would mean taking the blame, so they all wanted to run.

With the things they had done, and what they were doing now, if there really came a day when the working group was revoked, they might be in trouble.

The few who stayed behind also lost their former arrogance, each of them listless, and they were no longer seen going to the workshops to carry out propaganda.

These days, Gu Weijie was also assigning tasks to various offices and holding special meetings for branch secretaries. The goal was only one: to maintain the stability of the situation.

The grassroots organizations and work in the workshops were once again facing challenges. Whether they could get through this hurdle depended entirely on Gu Weijie's command and the efforts of those below.

Liu Guangtian hated his father to death. If his father hadn't said those things yesterday, would he have taken the initiative to stand up and post those things?

Now it was fine; he had become a typical example.

Zhang Guoqi led the Youth Youth Youth Tujidui and brought the people from Dongfeng to their base—the Seventh Workshop.

There was a study room here, but the place was too small to hold so many people, so Zhang Guoqi simply stood on a machine.

"Comrades~"

"... instructed us that seeking truth... we must correctly face the Great Study and Great Discussion. This is absolutely not a simple activity!"

"We are all worker brothers. We must see clearly the essence of the Great Study and Great Discussion activity and think deeply..."

Zhang Guoqi didn't come from a political work background, but having been a cadre for so many years, and being the Party Group Secretary of the Logistics Division, such speeches and propaganda were naturally a piece of cake for him.

He first highly emphasized the essence of the activity and reiterated the importance of the masses, guiding everyone to rethink and study the essence of the Great Study and Great Discussion from the perspective of the workers.

Afterward, he arranged for Captain Kang Ruxuan of the Youth Youth Youth Tujidui to go up and preach the essentials and direction of the activity.

Zhang Guoqi had been organizing everyone in the Seventh Workshop to study and discuss. After the Youth Youth Youth Tujidui finished speaking, he invited the original person in charge of Dongfeng to go up and speak.

When it came to business and economy, he wasn't as good as Li Xuewu, but when it came to management, propaganda, and building a team, he had been doing it since he was a youth.

The original person in charge of Dongfeng was a young worker. How could he compare to Zhang Guoqi, let alone the people from the Youth Youth Youth Tujidui? After going up, he stammered and couldn't get to the key points.

Previously, they really relied on their hot blood and followed the propaganda in the newspapers, walking to this day in a daze. Even Zhang Guoqi admired the blind obedience of these people.

Of course, it was different now. With Zhang Guoqi here, they had thoughts; with Zhang Guoqi here, they knew where to charge.

The remarks made by Liu Guangtian this morning were naturally brought up in this study and discussion.

Zhang Guoqi skillfully didn't criticize him directly, but let everyone think about where the mistakes in what he said and did were after today's study, and they would see each other on the bulletin board tomorrow morning.

Did this count as homework?

This homework was quite special. Zhang Guoqi allowed and encouraged them to form study pairs or groups, and the big-character posters tomorrow morning could also be posted in the form of groups.

Zhang Guoqi didn't set a limit on the number of people in the groups, because this team was truly full of "Crouching Tigers and Hidden Dragons."

As long as one person understood and grasped it, the group they formed could listen to them continue to explain.

The benefit of doing this was that Zhang Guoqi was continuously expanding his influence, directly eliminating Dongfeng's original organization.

Because the study groups directly replaced the various groups in the original organization, the original groups no longer existed, so there was no such thing as group leaders or captains.

In other words, Liu Guangtian's group leader position was gone~

This was truly a sad story. He had never held any official position in his life. When he was in school, he didn't even manage to become a group leader. This time, he had finally managed to get an unofficial one, only to be removed.

This feeling of grief and indignation hadn't even reached home before he vented it on his father on the road.

In the winter, Li Xuewu organized a severe crackdown on crime targeting Jiaodaokou, seizing a lot of stolen goods.

At that time, together with the neighborhood office and the Jiaodaokou station, they handled these items by entrusting them to a third party—the name was too long to read, so it was abbreviated as the Recycling Station.

Because Liu Haizhong was close to the water, he bought a "Pinduoduo" version of a bicycle from the Recycling Station, becoming a true car owner in the courtyard.

Their family actually had a car, but because the eldest son got married and his work was far away, it was ridden away by the eldest son.

At the time, there was no explanation, and this car was occupied by the eldest son.

Liu Haizhong buying this second one was a matter of no choice, because their eldest son had told all the neighbors that the first one was rewarded to him by his father because he had found a good job.

Since this established fact had already been bragged about, he couldn't be too serious with the eldest son, so he had the second car that made the second and third sons jealous.

The principle of "three monks having no water to drink" was very simple; when it fell on a family, it was a big problem.

It didn't matter when Liu Haizhong was the final authority in the family, but now that his status and position had plummeted, it seemed a bit "excessive" for him to ride a bike past his son.

Liu Guangtian turned his face immediately when he saw his father pass by without saying he would give him a ride. He chased after him and grabbed his father's handlebars.

The result was a disgraceful performance by the father and son on the main road.

Liu Guangtian said his father ruined his future; Liu Haizhong said he was half-full of water; Liu Guangtian mocked his father for pretending to understand; Liu Haizhong said his son didn't understand anything...

The road from the Steel Rolling Mill back to the city was the only way for all workers of the Steel Rolling Mill to return to the city. The verbal sparring between the father and son on the main road naturally became a hot topic.

The father and son hadn't even reached the courtyard before the excitement had already entered the door.

Seeing Sha Zhu was idling by the window of the Daozuofang. He was also a worker at the Steel Rolling Mill, and those who knew naturally told him when they returned.

If Seeing Sha Zhu knew, it meant the whole courtyard knew.

Everyone he could talk to knew that Liu Haizhong and his son had fallen out on the street.

Even the Third Master, who usually didn't have much popularity, knew about this and kept twitching his mouth while looking at Liu Haizhong entering the courtyard.

When he saw Liu Guangtian enter the courtyard, he drooped his eyelids, looking as if he was ashamed to be neighbors with such people.

The father and son naturally understood the expressions and attitudes of the people in the courtyard.

They didn't notice people from the courtyard passing by when they were sparring on the main road, and it was too late when they knew it upon entering the courtyard.

Liu Haizhong was a man who had committed a crime; how could he have the face to explain to the neighbors? Liu Guangtian wanted to act tough, but now he was nothing, and he had no confidence left.

Especially since he had written content attacking Li Xuewu, he was even more despised by the people in the courtyard.

Counting house by house in this courtyard, who hadn't received Li Xuewu's favor? Even if they hadn't received Li Xuewu's, they had received the Li family's.

Not to mention others, just take the Liu family—when something happened, it was Liu Yin who organized the help, and the car that sent them to the hospital was from the Daozuofang.

Today, Liu Guangtian named Li Xuewu, which was equivalent to tearing his own face off.

Liu Haizhong didn't know that his son had written those things yesterday, and he didn't know that he had named Li Xuewu above. If he had known, he would have gone to report it overnight.

Now it was too late to say anything. The eyes of the people in the courtyard looking at the father and son were filled with contempt.

Qin Huairu didn't say it directly, but she chatted with the First Master while washing dishes after dinner.

At this time, people were sitting in the middle courtyard, and this topic naturally became the focus.

It was hard to find a hot topic on weekdays, but today, the evening cooling-off session was turned into a criticism meeting for Liu Guangtian.

Of course, Liu Guangtian didn't even leave the back courtyard, and he wasn't present, which didn't affect the intensity of the criticism meeting.

It wasn't because of the criticism meeting that Liu Guangtian didn't come out, but because the "homework" left by Zhang Guoqi today made him feel like he was on pins and needles, unable to eat, so he had no energy to play cards.

Based on the current situation and the character of those people in their organization, the criticism from those people in the courtyard tonight was nothing; tomorrow would be the main event.

Everyone was neighbors in the same courtyard, and there were even those who had been beaten for being naughty when they were young. He didn't have the heart to listen to the ugly words said today; anyway, he wouldn't lose a piece of flesh.

What about tomorrow?

Tomorrow's would really cost him flesh and affect his progress and future.

Don't look at the fact that he joined Dongfeng; he had ambition. He wanted to climb up with the help of Dongfeng. What if he became a cadre?

The idea was good, but the gap was a bit big.

He didn't sleep much all night. After the middle courtyard dispersed, he tossed and turned for half the night. He had just fallen asleep at dawn, only to get up at seven o'clock to go to work.

Sometimes when he left early, he could catch a ride with his father to the mill. After the sparring yesterday, he could only run to work.

He hadn't slept much, was lacking energy, and had run so far; by the time he reached the mill, his body was basically hollowed out.

But it didn't matter; Zhang Guoqi had already prepared a "sobering-up package" for him today.

Entering the production area, the bulletin board was still surrounded by people.

This time, Liu Guangtian was certain it must be a big-character poster about himself, and it was a critical article posted on his own big-character poster.

He didn't even try to squeeze to the front on purpose; those surrounding him gave way one after another when they saw him coming.

This treatment was the same as Zhang Guoqi's yesterday, but the eyes of the people around him were different.

He had intended to pretend he didn't see it and pass by, and pretend he didn't see it if anyone mentioned it later.

Now it was impossible. The road had been cleared for him, and the people behind were also surrounding him with their eyes. If he didn't go in, he would truly be digging his own grave and cutting himself off from the Steel Rolling Mill.

Good heavens, there were many big-character posters on the bulletin board, mostly trivial matters made out of nothing, with many signatures for every person who wrote them.

Of course, there were also big-character posters that were posted back and forth like a discussion.

And right in the middle, bright and clear, a circle of new versions of big-character posters had been posted around his big-character poster that no one dared to cover.

"Liu Guangtian, who are you pointing your spear at?"

Cold sweat broke out on Liu Guangtian instantly.

"Where does Liu Guangtian stand?"

Liu Guangtian felt his legs trembling and couldn't stand steady.

"Liu Guangtian is deceiving the leadership!"

Liu Guangtian: Someone help me, I want to pee!

The wind direction changed too fast. Overnight, Dongfeng had changed its tune.

Previously, it was to oppose everything, but today's Dongfeng had a broader goal.

Watching Liu Guangtian's dejected appearance, those standing in front of the bulletin board waiting to watch the show naturally left in triumph, feeling satisfied.

A mere young man, and he dared to write such content?

Liu Guangtian stared blankly at the content on the bulletin board, truly feeling lost and sweating profusely.

Yesterday, he had thought for half the night, not knowing what kind of questioning he would face today. He had never thought of such a sharp result.

These big-character posters were all posted by three or five people, or a dozen people jointly, representing that these people had voluntarily formed study groups.

Liu Guangtian looked at the content above, mostly what Zhang Guoqi said while standing on the machine yesterday. Even if it wasn't the original words, it was the same meaning.

Especially on the last one, they put a very serious hat on him, saying that he incited mid-level cadres to oppose the leadership of the factory Party Committee. This was a criticism of quite a vile nature.

Liu Guangtian knew that with these big-character posters posted, he had become a rat crossing the street, never to lift his head again.

"Get up."

Just as he was dazed, he suddenly heard someone calling him. He looked up blankly, only to see Zhang Guoqi, whom he had seen yesterday.

He didn't know what Zhang Guoqi wanted him for; he only knew he was very afraid of him now.

Zhang Guoqi had no expression on his face. He had waited until the people dispersed before coming to call Liu Guangtian. This silly boy had been sitting here for half a day.

It was truly the content on the bulletin board that had given him a fright. If this were confirmed, he would truly be doomed.

Zhang Guoqi naturally understood his thoughts. Seeing him sitting there stupidly, he kicked him and shouted at him to stand up with his eyes wide open.

Liu Guangtian dared to act tough with his father, but he didn't dare with Zhang Guoqi. There were several people from the Youth Youth Youth Tujidui following in the distance.

Seeing him stand up, Zhang Guoqi frowned and looked at him, signaling him to follow.

Liu Guangtian didn't know what this person who had criticized him yesterday wanted him to do today, or where he was taking him.

There was still much he didn't know or understand: why Zhang Guoqi praised him for writing well when he first came yesterday, only to criticize him after turning around.

Why he recruited the Dongfeng team after criticizing him, why he targeted him, a small fry, during the preaching process, and why he pointed the contradiction of the homework at him.

What he didn't understand most was why this person still came to find him and wanted to take him away even after he had been criticized.

Was it to continue criticizing him in another place?

Liu Guangtian had thought about running, but he didn't dare. Not only were there people following behind, but also because "the monk can run, but the temple cannot."

He was a person of the Steel Rolling Mill; where could he run!

"Stand straight."

Zhang Guoqi didn't take him far. They were on the open space next to the experimental workshop. There was no one here, which was convenient for talking.

"Zh-Zh-Zh... Director Zhang."

Liu Guangtian's mouth was stumbling. It took him a long time to finish Zhang Guoqi's title.

"I really, I really didn't think that much. I just listened to what my father said and..." *Sob~*

Zhang Guoqi had never seen such a person who was both tough and cowardly. If you said he was cowardly, he was a fool who dared to name Li Xuewu on the bulletin board.

But if you said he was tough, it had only been a few moves, and he was already crying.

But thinking about it carefully, it wasn't Liu Guangtian's fault for being scared to tears. In this era, anything that was truly linked to ideals and beliefs was more important than life.

You say this era is full of enthusiasm and courage, but there are also those who are timid and afraid of trouble.

You say this era is full of passion and hot blood, but there are also those who stand by and watch.

You say this era is full of those who make up the numbers and are hot-headed, but the next few years will belong to them.

An era has very complex characteristics and content, just like a person's life cannot be interpreted by a few words on a tombstone. Those who haven't experienced it cannot clearly say what is good or bad.

Liu Guangtian had no patience for his parents, no ambition for his work, and no tolerance for human relationships, but spiritually, he still felt he should be close to the organization and not be abandoned or marginalized.

Even though this organization had just criticized him, the inner helplessness and loss were what he feared most.

"I really, I..."

Liu Guangtian squatted on the ground again, holding his head with both hands and crying: "Our family, me, we all came from the old society~"

"I was born in the old society and grew up under the red flag. I've suffered so much bitterness and endured so much pain. I firmly support the organization!"

He also gained confidence as he spoke, stood up again, and explained to Zhang Guoqi: "I heard the news from above and was greatly encouraged. I firmly support smashing the opposition fortresses of the bourgeoisie one by one!"

"We can't suffer the second bitterness again~"

Liu Guangtian wiped his tears and said everything he could judge and wasn't very taboo about, combining his own difficult conditions to complain to Zhang Guoqi.

Zhang Guoqi nodded and said to him: "I know some of your situation. Your father was also a worker in the mill and actively supported the organization."

"Yes!"

Liu Guangtian said with a crying voice: "My heart is good, but where is this 'fortress'? How can we know!"

Saying this, he wiped his tears again and said to Zhang Guoqi: "I just thought, we don't know, then the mid-level cadres and leaders must know best. But what about them? They only call for it, but don't act. What's wrong with what I wrote?!"

"You are wrong to think that way."

Zhang Guoqi didn't look cold in the face of Liu Guangtian's accusation, but patiently enlightened him: "You say they all know, so they must know?"

"I don't think so. Many people don't know, many people know but pretend not to know, and many people are representatives of the bourgeoisie themselves. How can they act!"

This made Liu Guangtian freeze, and then he suddenly realized: "Did I express the wrong direction?"

"Hey~ you need to study more!"

Zhang Guoqi patted Liu Guangtian on the shoulder and said: "Our tasks are arduous, our activities are lasting, and you are the main force of this activity. You must have patience and perseverance."

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Guangtian's decadent appearance and encouraged: "You can't lose confidence just because you took the wrong path. Everyone is helping you correct your mistakes~"

"I... ~"

Liu Guangtian opened his mouth but couldn't speak. His mind was a mess, and he just felt he couldn't figure it out.

This Director Zhang was hot and cold, making him feel neither up nor down. He didn't know if he was a good person or a bad person.

If you say he's a good person, he's the one who led people to take him down.

But if you say he's a bad person, he's the one comforting and encouraging him.

Especially what he said, it seemed like he was really wrong.

Thinking about it this way, Director Zhang is actually a pretty decent guy!

"Your angle on looking at problems is problematic. You can't attack a broad front."

Zhang Guoqi walked with Liu Guangtian and said: "You must plan before you act in everything you do. You must be clear about what you are doing, what you want to do, and what you can do."

As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Guangtian beside him and continued: "You want to practice the organization's ideals and requirements now, so you have to think about how you should do it."

"Director Zhang."

Liu Guangtian's big eyes were filled with stupid confusion, but he felt he had found a guiding light.

"Please teach me what I should do. I really want to contribute my youth and strength to the organization."

"Good job."

Zhang Guoqi patted Liu Guangtian on the shoulder and nodded with a smile.

He knew that smart people were hard to lead; only this kind of stuff was easy to fool. Tell him to do whatever, and he would dare to do it.

As long as you set the rules for him and tell him that what you say is right and what opposes you is wrong, then he would be your absolute force.

These two days, he had also been observing who was young and hot-blooded, and who wasn't simple and had other purposes.

He hadn't been receiving Dongfeng for long, so he had to slowly screen and re-establish the strictness of the organization.

At the same time, he also had to guide and train these loyal hot-blooded youths.

To put it plainly, it was brainwashing.

It wasn't easy for those above to open this gap, so he must seize this opportunity to establish his own camp of supporters.

The requirements of the situation forced the mill to fully open up the control of the Great Study and Great Discussion, leaving the mill workers to study and discuss freely.

In this process, the intentional guidance of the working group caused the opposition of the two camps.

The result of Yang Yuansong and others' discussion was: if you can't beat them, join them. If you can't eliminate this opposing emotion, don't let its development direction be out of control.

Therefore, targeting the force influenced by the working group, Wang Jingzhang, Yang Fengshan decided to arrange for Zhang Guoqi to go to Dongfeng, preparing to use this force to eliminate the force on the opposite side.

Anyway, they weren't formal units or organizations. Consuming most of their energy below, even if they were affected by external influences, the backlash wouldn't be too strong.

And Zhang Guoqi, even if he cleared the threat on the opposite side, he was still just a deputy director and not in the formal sequence of the mill, so he could be properly disposed of.

It had to be said that the mill leadership played a good game of chess, using force to fight force, hitting the cow across the mountain, truly achieving the goal of not violating instructions and not causing trouble.

But there was a big loophole here, which was the mill's misjudgment of Zhang Guoqi.

They felt that Zhang Guoqi was influenced by Li Huai De, which was a form of punishment and adjustment for taking the blame, and he would have different intentions toward Li Huai De.

Of course he would have different intentions. Zhang Guoqi wasn't a fool, but precisely because he wasn't a fool, he wouldn't express his resentment toward Li Huai De at this time, because he didn't have the qualifications to vent his resentment toward Li Huai De yet.

Yang Fengshan and others also felt that it was they who passed Zhang Guoqi's appointment, and now they gave him trust, so Zhang Guoqi should be grateful to do things.

Of course he would be grateful, but he wasn't grateful to these leaders, because they were the ones who agreed when he was adjusted.

He was grateful to Li Xuewu, who helped him when he was most helpless and supported him when he made a comeback.

Zhang Guoqi communicated with Li Xuewu the first time he returned; otherwise, how could he be doing what he was doing now?

Who stipulated that Li Huai De could accept suggestions from Li Xuewu, but he, as a brother to Li Xuewu, couldn't ask Li Xuewu what to do next?

Now he had asked, and he was doing it: first act like a grandson, then act like a grandfather.

Several people in the Youth Youth Youth Tujidui, the team assigned by Li Xuewu to support Zhang Guoqi, were following behind the two, and they were also discussing.

What was Director Zhang saying to that big head, why did he want to accept such a person, why did he say he couldn't expand, why did he say he wanted to accumulate strength, solve internal problems first, then unify opinions, and finally upward...

"Leader, the morning meeting is about to start."

Sha Qizhi walked in from outside the door. Seeing Li Xuewu still looking at documents, he reminded him softly.

Li Xuewu looked at the time on his hand and sighed lightly: "Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, it's the end of the month."

As he spoke, he closed the documents in his hand, looked at Sha Qizhi, and instructed: "Tell Director Sun that there is a lot of work this month, so prepare the work for the end of the month and the work plan for next month in advance."

"Okay."

Sha Qizhi organized Li Xuewu's notebook and documents for the meeting and handed them to him.

"Director Sun already arranged this work early this morning, saying that tomorrow is the weekend, so we will start this work next Monday."

"Hmm."

Li Xuewu stood up and said while walking out: "The art propaganda team is moving in today. You go over and keep an eye on it. After the meeting, I will go over with Deputy Secretary Gu."

"Understood, Leader."

Sha Qizhi responded, sent Li Xuewu out the door, and then turned back to continue tidying up Li Xuewu's desk and documents.

These things couldn't wait until after work to be tidied up together. There were too many documents and too many registrations; it would definitely not be finished by the time they got off work.

He had to be busy with this whenever he had time. Because Li Xuewu had a lot of work, he might have to leave at any time, and he would have even less time to tidy up if he followed him out.

Li Xuewu had meetings every day, and this time was when he did this.

Although he was the Deputy Director of the General Office, he knew clearly that his main responsibility was to serve Li Xuewu.

Sun Jian had just arrived. The General Office had some business to seek his opinion on, but it wasn't said that he was arranged to do it.

Just as Li Xuewu said, if it's someone's job, it's their job. Don't fight, don't grab; if you move around randomly, you'll get beaten.

The core of the Security Division's unity and stability was that everyone performed their own duties. Each position had its own requirements and standards. Although they were updated, as long as they were executed according to the standards, no one would say anything to you.

Going over levels and overstepping authority were resolutely not allowed in the Security Division, unless it was within the specified emergency situations. This was also the reason why Sun Jian confirmed with Li Xuewu whether Xiao Zihong was responsible for many projects.

Sun Jian's primary work upon arriving at the Security Division was to study the "Security Division Cadre Manual" left by Yu Decai, which had relatively perfect requirements and regulations for the office systems of various departments of the Security Division.

Strict disciplinary requirements and norms created Li Xuewu's comprehensive management of the Security Division and also enhanced his confidence in walking within the Steel Rolling Mill.

Today was a Party Committee meeting, held on the third floor of the main office building, presided over by Secretary Yang Yuansong, so those who came to the meeting were all Party Committee members.

Except for Dong Wenxue who wasn't there, all other factory leaders were present. Among the mid-level cadres, except for Wei Zai, Bu Qingfang, Kuang Yusheng, and Li Xuewu, none were present, because only these four were Party Committee members.

Among them, Li Xuewu was the youngest, but his seat was arranged in front of Wei Zai, because he held a position within the Party Committee.

It was hard to define what kind of affairs required what kind of meeting, but what was certain was that a Party Committee meeting must be to study very important matters.

If it were general affairs, they would be decided by the factory director and deputy factory directors at the factory office meeting.

And when it involved organizational affairs, they could generally be solved at the secretary office meeting.

What was brought to the Party Committee meeting for discussion must be of relatively large influence, or it could even be said that the factory leadership wanted to expand this influence or couldn't bear such a large responsibility. **CHAPTER 762**
