Chapter 768: A dog in a hurry

~34 min read 6,607 words

"You really can talk to these young people!"

Ding Zigui smiled and said to Li Xuewu, but his eyes were cast toward the playful scene at the swimming pool.

Li Xuewu shook his bath towel to sweep off the water on his body; in this hot weather, staying wet would surely lead to catching a cold.

"Just playing around~"

As he spoke, he sat down beside Xia Zhongquan, waved his hand to refuse the cigarette Kuang Yusheng was about to toss over, and took a sip of tea.

"Hmm, this tea is good."

Li Xuewu nodded to Xiao Jin and asked, "When did your guesthouse change to new tea?"

"The supply and marketing cooperative gave it."

Xiao Jin smiled and said, "Biao-ge mentioned it to Section Chief Qin last time he came, saying he could help coordinate more goods with the supply and marketing cooperative."

"Damn, this kid has even maintained human relationships over here~"

Li Xuewu scolded with a smile and teased Xiao Jin: "Tell your Biao-ge later to introduce a partner for you."

"Just lying~"

Xiao Jin covered her mouth and smiled; seeing that several leaders were looking at her, she felt a bit embarrassed, signaled toward the guesthouse, and ran away.

Wei Zai looked at Xiao Jin's back with a smile and said to everyone: "This little girl is really pure~"

"Hehe~"

Everyone chuckled for a while and then put their attention back on the table; this was just a small interlude; they all knew Li Xuewu was intentionally clearing the area.

They came here to swim naturally because they wanted to find a place to talk; although sitting here also made people suspect what they were discussing, it was still better than opening a conference room at the guesthouse.

They all liked swimming, so gathering together to chat was always justifiable.

Work is sometimes like this; as long as it's justifiable, others might not care where you are talking or how you are talking.

The people sitting here had been together for a long time, each had an understanding and basic trust in the other; the circle was only so big, and there were only so many people who could talk.

Li Xuewu didn't need to think to know roughly what they were chatting about just now; it was nothing more than the question of whether to advance or retreat.

Following Wei Zai's words, Li Xuewu said straightforwardly: "Sometimes it's hard to be pure, but being too pure makes it easy to be bullied."

He naturally wasn't talking about Xiao Jin's single-minded desire to find a good partner to marry, but was pointing at the policies implemented by the Rolling Mill in the previous stage.

Facing the working group that came down, these management layers of the Rolling Mill all appeared very humble and dutiful, which easily gave people the image of being easy to bully.

What was the result?

People made trouble at your place for a long time and then took a dump before leaving; it was disgusting enough.

Wei Zai and the others' smiles gradually faded; they knew Li Xuewu had something to say, so they all became serious and listened to Li Xuewu continue.

"The working group left today; tomorrow another working office might come, and the day after tomorrow another working bureau; do we have to stay this pure forever?"

Li Xuewu placed the teacup in his hand on the coffee table; his voice was a bit tired from splashing in the water just now.

But after drinking a few sips of tea, his moisture had been replenished, and his eyes still swept across the crowd sharply: "If we keep being this pure, I think we can hold a gathering at the cleaning team tomorrow."

"Hahaha~"

Everyone let out a knowing laugh; the laughter was somewhat helpless, but also somewhat unexpected.

Li Xuewu wouldn't have spoken so thoroughly in the past; he used to reserve more and express less regarding problems.

What happened today?

"Section Chief Kuang complained to me this morning."

Li Xuewu pointed toward Kuang Yusheng and said to everyone: "He said the feeling of being beaten passively is not good, and that work hasn't been this aggrieved."

"I told Section Chief Kuang that hitting people isn't necessarily a bad thing."

As he spoke, Li Xuewu picked up his teacup with a smile and talked nonsense: "A good person hitting a bad person, deserved; a bad person hitting a good person, the good person is glorious; a good person hitting a good person is a misunderstanding, not knowing each other without fighting."

"However!"

Li Xuewu took a sip of tea, and while putting down the teacup, he said: "Don't hit people in the future."

"Damn~"

"Hahaha~"

Everyone laughed again; these words weren't said by Li Xuewu, but by "that person"; when the middle school student representative meeting was held at the exhibition hall yesterday, this sentence was mentioned.

The news also reported this, and it even distorted the "reasonableness of hitting people," forming a reason for indulgence.

Li Xuewu quoting it here had a somewhat comical feeling, and it also made everyone think.

The current environment had already deteriorated to a certain extent; this was still because the Rolling Mill had walls separating it; if there were no walls at the Rolling Mill, would there be hitting incidents?

They could endure big debates, but they couldn't endure big whips.

Li Xuewu paused, giving everyone time to think, and then continued: "I believe everyone has discovered that whether it's East Wind or Red Flag, they both have the intention to organize inspection teams and propaganda teams; this is a very dangerous signal."

"Indeed."

Kuang Yusheng nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, and frowned: "The Production Management Division has a headache about this; once it spreads, it will definitely be an unstable factor."

Others had also discovered it to a greater or lesser extent, so after Kuang Yusheng spoke, they all nodded in recognition of Li Xuewu's words.

Li Xuewu leaned back in the rattan chair, swept his eyes over the crowd, and asked: "What to do?"

Yes, what to do? They were department heads; once these two civil and martial teams were pulled up, it wouldn't be easy to disband them; who would the civil ones face, and who would the martial ones face?

"Hard tactics are useless."

Li Xuewu saw Kuang Yusheng was about to speak, waved his hand, and said: "The current situation is like a pot of boiling hot oil; is it useful to pour water into it?"

"Then what to do?"

Kuang Yusheng waved his large hand resting on the armrest of the rattan chair and said: "The Production Management Division has a large jurisdiction and the most people; even a small problem will be infinitely magnified."

"Strike first to gain the advantage!"

Li Xuewu answered the doubts in everyone's hearts with a firm tone; seeing everyone look over, he said with a subtle expression: "They want to organize inspection teams, so we will organize them too, and we must organize them first; it's best to organize them as soon as we go back."

"The propaganda team is the same."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "I believe everyone has received the documents issued by the Propaganda Division; this is an opportunity; Deputy Secretary Gu will naturally support everyone; it's not difficult to open up the situation in propaganda."

Everyone's expressions became as subtle as Li Xuewu's; they looked at each other, as if they had all found the answer to cracking the problem.

Wei Zai rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "This move is truly absolute; the inspection teams formed by various units connected together form a large net, taking care of each other, trapping all prominent problems within the net."

"The key lies in control."

Bu Fangqing was a female comrade; she was wearing a bathrobe now, holding a cigarette in her hand just like the men; after Wei Zai finished speaking, she flicked the ash and said: "I say propaganda is better than inspection; you wouldn't disagree, would you?"

"Hehehe~"

Xia Zhongquan laughed with the crowd, scratched his somewhat bald head, and said: "Control plus guidance, breaking and solving problems and contradictions one by one, not letting them form a collective state, naturally there will be few conflicts."

Li Xuewu listened to them talk, holding his teacup and savoring the tea; they naturally knew clearly what to do next.

Departments like the Propaganda Division and the Party Organization Department naturally didn't need to go to that trouble; they were government units themselves, didn't have that many people, and naturally didn't have that many things.

Production units like the Technical Division and the Production Management Division had to do the work; Li Xuewu had chatted with Kuang Yusheng, but he hadn't spoken to the others yet.

Today was also taking this opportunity to push Gu Weijie's next actions, as well as laying the groundwork for what Li Huai De needed to do.

Ding Zigui sat a bit far from Li Xuewu, already at the edge; if it weren't for the fact that he was with Li Xuewu before, he probably wouldn't have been qualified to sit here.

Feng Xingke from the Logistics Division came; he was chasing after them; last time Feng Xingke wanted to find an opportunity to integrate into their circle, but was influenced by Wang Jingzhang.

Today was also a "coincidence" that he met them after eating, so he chatted a few words and joined in.

Li Xuewu's circle naturally had no boundaries, and he wouldn't set any thresholds.

But who could come and who couldn't, they knew clearly themselves.

If it were in the past, Li Xuewu would absolutely not have pulled so many people together for a gathering; even sitting together for lunch wouldn't have been allowed.

It's different now; the problems above are quite prominent, and if there are contradictions below, then there's no need to work.

Li Huai De supported Li Xuewu in expanding his influence among mid-level cadres; Yang Fengshan had another view on Li Xuewu doing this and didn't say anything about it.

Xu Sinian was also a regular visitor to this circle; today it was because the working group "ran away" and he went to clean up the mess that he didn't make it, otherwise he would definitely be sitting here.

Production Management Division, Technical Division, Sales Division, Logistics Division, Service Division, etc., were all large production and labor divisions with many people and complicated matters; the problem Li Xuewu pointed out to them was very thorny, and they would have to act as firefighters for a period of time next.

In the past, they could stand on the side and watch the fun, because someone was stirring up trouble and they couldn't take a stand.

Now there were no such problems, and their goal was the same as the factory leaders; everyone had to ensure their own area wouldn't have problems.

After the gathering broke up at noon, Xia Zhongquan stayed until the end to walk back with Li Xuewu; he was nearly two rounds older than Li Xuewu, so naturally he didn't have Li Xuewu's physical strength and walked slowly.

"I thought about what you said; the propaganda team is easy to talk about, find some young people who love to jump and move, and they'll be suitable; this inspection..."

"What's wrong?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, looked at Xia Zhongquan with a smile, and said: "What's there to be embarrassed about? Find those with families, those in their thirties, those who want to be evaluated as excellent; don't tell me you don't have this stuff in your hands; it's just a matter of a few certificates."

Xia Zhongquan looked at Li Xuewu speechlessly; he only felt that Li Xuewu was a bastard.

Being evaluated as excellent became a bargaining chip in Li Xuewu's mouth to lure people into doing things, and it also became bait for managers to fish, saying it so cheaply.

At this time, being evaluated as excellent and receiving honors was highly valued; the domestic industrial system learned from the Soviets, who had already entered industrialization, and their material supply and material cultural life were already highly developed.

However, if the country wanted to complete industrialization, it had to pay with this kind of incentive means; compared to material rewards, the domestic production level and productivity really couldn't keep up.

What to do?

Then value honor, cultivate people's sense of identification with honor; even if it's cherishing a part, it can be talked about like a flower.

Whoever protects public property and property safety is a model to be learned from; everyone's advanced model, using certificates, enamel mugs, towels, undershirts, etc., simple goods printed with honor slogans, became precious incentives.

Li Xuewu naturally was willing to spend such inexpensive things; if it could truly solve the problem, Li Xuewu was willing to provide one hundred certificates to the Technical Division, just like in later kindergartens, where every child could get one.

Even those who came to sleep every day could get a "Best Sleeper Award."

"I have thought about the scene of the Rolling Mill ten or twenty years later when you take over."

Xia Zhongquan pointed at Li Xuewu amusedly and said: "That must be a glorious period."

"Thank you, wish you good health, live to a hundred, and watch me make progress."

Li Xuewu's mouth twitched, just like Xia Zhongquan's nonsense; the bullshit in his mouth came very conveniently.

After teasing Xia Zhongquan, Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked: "I say, Section Chief Xia, when will this engine go offline? You know the money we threw in could pile up into ten engines."

"Soon, soon."

Xia Zhongquan waved his hand and said: "Don't you see I'm forgetting to eat and sleep just to ponder this? Stop nagging."

"Good!"

Li Xuewu twisted his lips and said: "You find me annoying now, right? Wait until you need money again."

"Hey! Speaking of money~"

Xia Zhongquan pulled Li Xuewu and said: "I say, the gearbox project has started; should the research funding be increased a bit? I'm working overtime according to your wishes."

"Add it, no problem."

Li Xuewu patted Xia Zhongquan's arm and said: "If you want money, I'll give it, but we have to agree: if I don't see the sample car before the end of the year, you'll have to earn this money for me."

"Good heavens, you're a bandit!"

Xia Zhongquan teased Li Xuewu amusedly, then nodded and said: "Before the end of the year, there will definitely be no problem with the sample car."

After finishing, he raised his eyebrows and asked: "Where will production be placed? Really going to Steel City?"

"Otherwise?"

Li Xuewu said helplessly: "Thousands of parts, do you really think we can produce them all ourselves?"

After finishing, he patted Xia Zhongquan's arm again and said: "In Steel City, there is a steel mill that can set up engine and gearbox production workshops, and special steel is supplied at any time."

"The car frame can also be produced by ourselves; the remaining parts can be purchased from brother units like Factory 17 and the Beijing Automobile Factory, and then assembled when they come back; this is the optimal solution."

"I understand, I understand."

Xia Zhongquan nodded, as if trying hard to keep up with Li Xuewu's rhythm and direction of thinking, just like he was walking with Li Xuewu now.

Li Xuewu said very seriously: "Factory 17 produces cars and produces various parts itself because they have no choice; they also bear the nation's hope and political tasks."

"We are different."

Li Xuewu looked at Xia Zhongquan and asked: "Are you sure you know our purpose?"

"Profit maximization, right?"

Xia Zhongquan nodded and said: "I understand, I understand; what you said is indeed correct; if I eat an egg, I can't raise a chicken myself, right?"

"Completely correct!"

Li Xuewu praised: "You just need to be sure you need eggs; a screw looks inconspicuous, but if you produce it yourself, it requires a lot of cost; purchasing is different."

"Let's first mark out the parts that other brother factories are producing and that we can use, and then modify the replaceable parts to be included in the normal procurement item."

"For the rest, look at production needs and costs; if we have existing production capacity, we produce it ourselves; if we can't produce it, we entrust it to Factory 17 or the Beijing Automobile Factory."

Li Xuewu pointed at Xia Zhongquan and said: "I won't command the process flow, but you must do a good job in the design of the assembly line; this is the key to the success or failure of our project."

Xia Zhongquan felt that the pressure on him was heavier after talking to Li Xuewu; he originally wanted to nag Li Xuewu to reduce some pressure.

Never talk to Li Xuewu about work again.

Although this kid doesn't understand technology or production business, he really understands management and the way of using people.

Too scary!

"Engine production is in Steel City, gearbox and car frame are too, then assembly?"

Xia Zhongquan looked at Li Xuewu, raised his eyebrows, and asked: "Also in Steel City?"

"Yes, although there are many inconveniences in Steel City, there is one thing."

Li Xuewu looked at Xia Zhongquan, tilted his head, and said with a smile: "Land is plentiful and people are cheap."

"What?"

Xia Zhongquan looked at Li Xuewu suspiciously; he suspected he had misheard; this is what a capitalist would say.

Li Xuewu amusedly signaled upstairs, indicating he was going upstairs, but before going upstairs, he explained to Xia Zhongquan the reason for this sentence.

"Getting a piece of land in Steel City is much more convenient than in Beijing; the assembly line doesn't need specially trained workers; just having hands is enough."

After finishing, he raised his eyebrows at Xia Zhongquan standing on the second floor, and while walking to the third floor, he said: "Don't you think there are too many young people in Beijing? It's noisy; going to Steel City to screw bolts on the assembly line is just right."

Xia Zhongquan stood speechlessly at the corner of the second-floor stairs, watching Li Xuewu disappear upstairs, not knowing what to say.

Is this person truly a peerless genius who calculates everything?

He also knew that Li Xuewu put the automobile industry in Steel City for another purpose, because Dong Wenxue was in Steel City, and it was normal for Li Xuewu to have this calculation since he would go to Steel City in the future.

But he didn't expect Li Xuewu to have prepared the groundwork for the next step; personnel problems are like a snowball; the factory's employees are so capable of giving birth that the pressure to recruit will become greater and greater in the future.

What to do?

If they are all piled up in Beijing, these people will constantly cause pressure on the Rolling Mill.

The automobile production industry Li Xuewu is planning now, as he just said, doesn't need a very smart brain, let alone professional technology; just having basic hands-on ability is enough.

Those who screw bolts won't go to do the work of installing wheels, those who install glass don't need to do the business of sticking rubber strips; the workstations on the assembly line will train people into machines, only needing to do one thing.

At this time, there are assembly line operations, but they are basically in light industry, because heavy industry has relatively high requirements for the design and manufacturing of assembly lines.

The guarantee he gave Li Xuewu to see the sample car before the end of the year didn't guarantee that the assembly line could be designed for him before the end of the year; this is a big job.

He is not unfamiliar with assembly lines; they have been in use since 1956, and the Rolling Mill is producing tracks for the Beijing Tractor Factory; the production workshop for that project is an assembly line workshop.

Cars are of course not as simple in structure as tractor tracks, so it is very complex to design; the entire line needs him to do it workstation by workstation, process by process.

Including during the production process of the sample car, he has to make a plan to verify whether his design program is qualified during the assembly process of the sample car.

A car production line requires thousands of people to cooperate; three shifts mean more than three thousand people, which fully meets the plan Li Xuewu mentioned.

Isn't the Rolling Mill full of workers? Aren't there many children of workers? For those waiting to enter the factory, just pull them directly to Steel City.

Enter the factory?

If you enter the factory, you must obey the distribution and arrangement; you must bear the conditions of being assigned to Steel City and bear the objective fact of being far away from home.

This is an influence and intervention on the psychology of those workers who are anxious to arrange employment for their children, and it is even more a good prescription for solving the Rolling Mill's urgent personnel arrangements.

If you ask if this method is a once-and-for-all solution, of course it is not; the speed of building factories can never catch up with the speed of workers giving birth.

But as long as the production base in Steel City is built and maintains a positive development speed, it is a good place to improve employment conditions.

Splitting the Rolling Mill's workers is also an excellent choice; Xia Zhongquan can foresee Li Xuewu's future.

He just joked that he saw the glory of the day Li Xuewu took charge, but he didn't expect Li Xuewu to really show him a corner of the future glory.

"Ah~ Hu~"

Zhang Songying let out a long breath, as if her soul had left her body and then returned; it took a long time for her to come back to her senses.

She turned her head to look at the man leaning against the head of the bed, only feeling that at this moment she possessed the whole world.

Li Xuewu turned his head to look at the woman with stars in her eyes and said with a smile: "If you don't wake up, I'll think about whether I should take you to the factory hospital."

"Hmm~~~"

Zhang Songying pushed Li Xuewu somewhat embarrassedly, but didn't expect to push the wrong place, almost causing a fire.

There wasn't much time at noon; they spent more than an hour at the swimming pool, so Li Xuewu couldn't go back too late this afternoon.

Although he was still in the factory, it was inevitable that work would find him; it didn't matter if he was late for work by an hour or two, but he couldn't not show up.

"Change into a set of clothes."

Seeing Li Xuewu get up, Zhang Songying followed him up, took a bath towel, followed Li Xuewu to the bathroom, quickly helped Li Xuewu wash, and then busied herself finding clothes for him from the wardrobe.

"Last time I went shopping, there were short sleeves of new styles in the mall; I looked at them, bought the fabric, and made them myself."

As she spoke, she handed Li Xuewu a khaki short-sleeved shirt with a waist and collar, and also found the black pants Li Xuewu usually wore.

"Seems like a uniform."

Li Xuewu took the clothes and tried them on; the style seemed like his flight suit, only this was short-sleeved, and that one was long-sleeved.

Zhang Songying explained while helping Li Xuewu put on his belt: "You didn't go to the mall; now many counters are selling clothes modified from uniforms."

After explaining, she handed the pants to Li Xuewu, and after seeing him put them on, she helped him tidy up the collar of his top.

"The ones they sell aren't as good as the ones I made myself; I specifically bought breathable fabric, and I added support material to the collar and cuffs, so it looks spirited when worn."

While speaking, she stepped back a few steps, looked Li Xuewu over, and said with a smile: "The ones they sell aren't waist-cinching; they are tucked into the pants, the waist isn't breathable, and it looks quite uncomfortable."

Li Xuewu only felt that the styles of clothes at this time were just a few, over and over; women's had more collars, and men's couldn't escape the uniform logo.

However, wearing this piece of clothing was different from a shirt; it wasn't so stiff, and there was space for movement in the back and shoulders; the wind from the air conditioner could be felt.

His clothes sources were nothing more than these few; in the past, Yu Li and Qin Huairu both made clothes for him, and Lou-jie also prepared them from time to time.

But now basically none of them helped him make clothes, only Zhang Songying persisted; many of her fabric coupons were spent on Li Xuewu.

As long as she saw clothes of a fresh style, she thought of preparing one for Li Xuewu; it didn't matter if he wore it or not, but what others had, Li Xuewu's wardrobe must have.

Li Xuewu bent down to put on his socks himself; when he stood up, he reached out and patted Zhang Songying's butt, signaling her to hurry up and tidy herself up; she was only wrapped in a bath towel now, busy with him.

"It's hot, Qin Huairu is downstairs; I'll go to work a little later, I need to catch up on sleep."

Seeing Li Xuewu was ready, Zhang Songying smiled and helped him tidy his hair, and only then did she nod with satisfaction.

Li Xuewu looked at her expression amusedly, as if she wouldn't let him go out if she didn't tidy him up properly.

"The meat cans from last time are finished, right? Should I get you some more?"

Li Xuewu reached out and pinched Zhang Songying's smiling face, asking as he walked out.

Zhang Songying didn't think about sending him out, fearing someone would see, but she replied: "Don't bother, I'm really tired of eating them; now I just want to eat something light."

Li Xuewu walked to the door and grasped the doorknob, turned his head to look at the woman behind him, and raised his eyebrows: "For example, like just now?"

"Go to hell!"

"Hehehe~"

Li Xuewu walked out with a light laugh, leaving behind a trace of unusual charm.

Just finished talking to those people about the Rolling Mill's situation not being optimistic at noon, Li Xuewu received Sun Jian's report as soon as he returned to the office in the afternoon:

Zhang Guoqi requested the Youth Youth Youth Tujidui to act as the leader, cooperating with the Party Committee, Party Organization Department, and Propaganda Department to go to various departments and workshops to guide the construction of industrial inspection teams, as well as organize the selection and preparation of propaganda team members.

This speed was too fast; Li Xuewu couldn't help but look toward the main office building.

Yang Yuansong's attitude changed quickly, Li Huai De's speed of action was fast, and Zhang Guoqi's corresponding execution was also very fast.

It looked like Li Huai De was cooperating with the Party Committee to control the work of industrial inspection and propaganda with Yang Yuansong's tacit approval.

This is truly...

Over there, Yang Fengshan was still bearing the pressure from Red Flag and several other parties, and over here, Yang Yuansong was already interfering with his influence.

It had to be said that Yang Yuansong was truly a master of controlling the situation, mainly focusing on balance and compromise.

No wonder every time Deputy Factory Director Li set up a mahjong game, he invited Secretary Yang; business may fail, but friendship remains; both were masters of the push-and-pull game, and they even sympathized with each other.

Don't think about it; Li Xuewu would absolutely not use the phrase "great minds think alike" to describe them; it was already very polite not to use "birds of a feather flock together."

Perhaps because what Li Xuewu said at noon played a role, Zhang Guoqi took the force behind the Youth Youth Youth Tujidui that had Li Xuewu, and carried out this work very quickly, basically occupying the two main resources of civil and martial.

Doing this was Li Xuewu's active suggestion and promotion, mainly for the control of the situation in the next stage.

Of course, wanting to control the situation at this time must be done through appropriate prevarication and special means, which will definitely dirty one's hands and wet one's shoes in actual operation.

Li Xuewu wasn't willing to have these things stained on himself, so if the Youth Youth Youth Tujidui wanted money, they could have it, but it wouldn't work for him to endorse them.

"Tell Deputy Director Zhang that I have already communicated with Deputy Factory Director Li; the Youth Youth Youth Tujidui doesn't need to coordinate with the Security Division for future actions; it's all up to him."

Cutting the Gordian knot, the next month would be crazy and uncontrolled; Li Xuewu didn't think he could maintain purity after controlling the Youth Youth Youth Tujidui to complete the necessary effects.

But the two organizations, civil and martial, in the next stage were the necessary conditions for controlling the Rolling Mill and maintaining its stability.

If there were no experience in the next month, there wouldn't be the situation in the future, so this was a multiple-choice question: participate or exit.

Li Xuewu chose to exit, handing this task, which was both "glamorous" and "glorious," to Zhang Guoqi, who had long been selected, to complete.

Why could Li Huai De use Old Zhang as a tool, but Li Xuewu couldn't?

Both are surnamed Li; Li Xuewu is even more reliable than Li Huai De.

At least Li Huai De is the kind of person who throws you away after using you; Li Xuewu is not; he even gave positive incentives and encouragement while using them.

Before getting off work in the afternoon, Zhang Guoqi found Li Xuewu with two boxes of tea.

Li Xuewu also "turned his face" as soon as he saw him carrying things.

"What do you take me for?!"

"What do you take our relationship for?!"

"I'm a brother of the same rank as you; you take this stuff to humiliate me?!"

"No... no! Listen to me!"

Zhang Guoqi was truly embarrassed by Li Xuewu's words; he pulled Li Xuewu to sit on the sofa and handed the things in his hand to Sha Qizhi.

Turning his head to look at Li Xuewu's dissatisfied expression, he said somewhat embarrassedly: "Look at you, what a temper; Old Brother has it, so I brought it; if you didn't have it and asked me, I wouldn't give it to you."

After finishing, he waved at Sha Qizhi, who was still standing awkwardly to the side, signaling him to quickly help Li Xuewu accept the things.

"You have it, but we brothers don't do this."

Li Xuewu was criticizing Zhang Guoqi very "seriously," looking just like he took Zhang Guoqi as a brother.

Zhang Guoqi was naturally very moved; at this time, the relationship with friends was valued extremely highly; it wasn't the kind of friend in later generations who borrows money and doesn't pay it back, but the kind who can be entrusted with the family.

"Yes, yes, I didn't say anything else."

Zhang Guoqi smiled and said: "This business trip to Yuezhou, I got some good tea; there were too many people at the time, so it wasn't convenient to give it to you; after coming back, I was busy for a while; this is just the time I found to send it to you."

"Taste it, Old Brother's heart."

As he spoke, he nodded to Li Xuewu, whose expression had relaxed, and then signaled to Sha Qizhi again.

Sha Qizhi saw the leader agreed, so he put the tea in the tea cabinet and brought two cups of tea over.

After Sha Qizhi left, Zhang Guoqi sighed with emotion: "They say that strong winds know the strong grass, and raging fires see true gold; I, Old Zhang, have seen through and understood many things after this incident."

As he spoke, he took a sip of tea, looked at Li Xuewu, and said: "Brother, please bear with me if I did anything wrong in the past."

"What are you saying!"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, crossed his legs, sat on the sofa, and looked at Zhang Guoqi: "Why can't I understand?"

"Hehehe~"

Zhang Guoqi didn't believe Li Xuewu couldn't understand, but Li Xuewu had indeed helped him twice, truly pulling him out of the abyss.

Not to mention Li Xuewu's purpose for doing so, just based on the relationship between the two, he felt he should thank Li Xuewu.

At least he didn't feel Li Xuewu was harming him or using him.

When he was dismissed, it was Li Xuewu who set up a banquet to encourage him; when they gathered again, it was Li Xuewu who treated him sincerely; when there was an opportunity, it was Li Xuewu who protected him in front of Li Huai De.

This trip to Yuezhou was truly easy, and there was Li Xuewu's help and support in it; it could be said that Li Xuewu supported him to his current position.

After coming back, he gave people when asked, gave money when asked, truly supporting him to walk back to the front stage selflessly.

And Li Xuewu? He didn't claim credit, didn't ask for favors, as calm as if he had done nothing.

I don't know how many people came to flatter him, the controller of the Rolling Mill's important forces, after he came back.

But Li Xuewu wasn't among these people, and there was no one from Li Xuewu coming to ask him for help.

Originally, he wanted to return the Youth Youth Youth Tujidui to the Security Division, but this team was extremely handy to use; it could be called professional among professionals, and progressive among progressives.

Combat effectiveness was extremely fierce, with the excellent style of the Security Division and the powerful armament of progressive ideology; it was an important support for him to quickly control East Wind.

He couldn't bear to part with this team, so he coordinated with the Security Division to use the Youth Youth Youth Tujidui to cooperate in guiding various units to build industrial inspection teams to cultivate his own people.

He didn't expect Li Xuewu to take one step to the end, directly allocating the Youth Youth Youth Tujidui to him for use.

This is such a selfless brotherly feeling; even if Li Xuewu asked for something now, it wouldn't be too much.

"Old Brother's comeback this time was truly not easy, thanks to Brother's care, I..."

"Hey~"

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about this; it's all work; helping you is not helping others!"

This sentence pointed out the significance of handing the Youth Youth Youth Tujidui to Zhang Guoqi, but he pulled the words back: "However, you have to pay attention to some things."

Seeing Li Xuewu's serious expression, Zhang Guoqi knew he was talking about serious business, so he also straightened his expression and listened to Li Xuewu continue.

"I don't need to tell you how fast the situation is changing; what is being done today doesn't necessarily mean it will be right tomorrow."

Li Xuewu tapped the sofa armrest lightly and reminded Zhang Guoqi: "Today's person might be a ghost tomorrow; think more about everything, caution is the best policy."

"I understand."

Zhang Guoqi's eyebrows frowned slightly; Li Xuewu's words were words of warning and words from the heart; he naturally understood.

If it weren't for their close relationship, who would pour cold water on him when he was riding high?

Actually, after getting off the train and finishing talking to the leaders, he was thinking about the relationships and dangers inside.

Why was it him doing this? Why use him to show off? And under Li Huai De's support, how could he forget Li Huai De's ruthlessness last time?

After sending Zhang Guoqi away, Li Xuewu glanced at the tea bucket he brought, his mouth twitched slightly, and he walked back behind the office desk.

Sha Qizhi walked in and reported softly: "At the meeting held by Deputy Factory Director Li, Deputy Director Zhang has another task, which is to coordinate the study linkage work of other cooperative enterprises."

Li Xuewu's eyebrows jumped; Zhang Guoqi's purpose for coming here was truly subtle; Li Huai De "sent an order," and he came to Li Xuewu's side; did he really take Li Xuewu as... that thing in the wishing pool? Executing tasks and coming here to pray for protection?

Damn, this Old Zhang is also not a good cake; once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope; he is so careful even when moving, will he really follow his design steps?

No, must swing the little whip; if you don't hit him, he won't move forward!

"What is Wang Jingzhang doing?"

"..."

Sha Qizhi was very surprised; he couldn't keep up with the leader's train of thought; they were talking about Deputy Director Zhang, how did they get to Deputy Director Wang?

"That..."

"What?"

Li Xuewu looked at Sha Qizhi's hesitant appearance and raised his eyebrows: "Deputy Director Wang didn't withdraw with the working group, did he?"

"No~"

Sha Qizhi replied with a dry laugh, then walked closer and reported softly: "Deputy Director Wang arranged for people to squat on Factory Director Yang, saying they would continue to hold a big meeting tonight."

"Heh~"

Li Xuewu sneered; he had already guessed why Wang Jingzhang was holding onto Yang Fengshan and wouldn't let go.

"Tell the Security Section, on the grounds of receiving reports from the masses, strictly check the night use of various departments and workshops, but let the Seventh Workshop pass and don't check it."

"Understood."

Sha Qizhi's mouth twitched slightly; he knew the Seventh Workshop was East Wind's base; if other places were managed but the Seventh Workshop wasn't, wouldn't it be the Seventh Workshop reporting it?

The Security Division naturally wouldn't interfere with their activities, but the use of lights and venues at night also had to be constrained.

Security checks one way, public security checks one way, fire safety checks one way, inspection checks one way; with constant interference, he didn't believe their activities could be held peacefully.

Differentiation can show unequal contradictions; to put Wang Jingzhang and Zhang Guoqi together, one must start with what Wang Jingzhang wants to do.

He wants to squat on Yang Fengshan, so Li Xuewu must arrange for Zhang Guoqi to save Yang Fengshan; it's not convenient to use the Youth Youth Youth Tujidui, so arranging an inspection after receiving a report is fine, right?

Wang Jingzhang takes rectifying Yang Fengshan as his life-saving straw to maintain his authority; if someone interferes with him, do you think Wang Jingzhang will bite people when he's in a hurry? ===== CHAPTER 769 =====

Wang Jingzhang is treating Yang Fengshan as his life-saving straw to maintain his authority; if someone interferes with him, do you think Wang Jingzhang would bite like a cornered dog?
