Chapter 781: It's a deal!

~38 min read 7,421 words

Human feelings and worldly wisdom: first human feelings, then worldly wisdom.

In the past, Qin Qin Jingru came to the courtyard, it was for her sister's human feelings, but it didn't go well, so accidents happened.

This time, returning to the courtyard is different. It's still for her sister's human feelings~

But her hands are not empty, she has both the lining and the face, so naturally, it is worldly wisdom—generations of old acquaintances.

You are capable, you have ability, then the next generation will continue to come and go.

What if you are not capable?

"My Uncle Jules" could possibly become "My Little Aunt Qin Qin Jingru."

Qin Qin Jingru doesn't want to have "accidents" anymore. She has no worries now, she is not alone, and she is not in a situation where she can just throw a tantrum and go home if things don't go right.

She has roots in the city, has landed, and has hope in her heart. Just like hanging a carrot in front of a donkey, she doesn't feel that city life is much more restrictive.

Especially in her relationship with her sister, although the Jia family is still a widow's door, her sister's conditions are better now.

She doesn't have a city household registration, and she only has one relative in the city. Getting married also means having a reliance.

So Li Li Xuewu mentioned it, letting her take Han Han Jiankun to the Jia family first, and then letting her sister go to the village to set the engagement. Giving her sister face also counts as not leaving gossip in the village.

Qin Qin Jingru is very grateful to Li Li Xuewu, although the other party had scared her, disliked her, and didn't want to pay attention to her before.

But from the time she contacted Li Li Xuewu, she saw that the other party is a very particular person. Of course, he is also that person who is not suitable for her.

The initial yearning for city life was all pinned on the comparison between the affluent life of the Li family and the poverty of her sister's family. She had the thought of standing on this mountain and looking at that mountain, but she was beaten to pieces.

She doesn't regret the absurd period between her and Sha Zhu. With Han Han Jiankun, she understands very clearly what a precious happiness it is to be able to choose what she likes while choosing life.

Even if Han Han Jiankun has a "problem" of being able to talk more than her, she also feels it is a kind of life.

So, facing the old lady and Li Li Xuewu's concern, she has shy emotions and also expresses her thoughts.

"Are you going to be trained for a month?"

"Yes."

Li Li Xuewu nodded with a smile when he heard her ask, and explained: "Starting next Monday, I will only come back on Sundays."

"So please take care of the family."

Li Li Xuewu picked up the chopsticks Li Shu threw and put them aside, and said to Qin Qin Jingru: "Han Jiankun has nothing to do this month. You can go out more, or go back to the commune. Drive the family car."

"Thank you, Wu Ge."

Qin Qin Jingru nodded with a blush and stood up to get clean chopsticks from the kitchen.

Just now, Li Shu threw the old lady's chopsticks. This big devil felt that everyone at the dinner table was talking and ignoring her, so she wanted to make trouble.

Children are like this. If a smile can't attract everyone's attention, they use trouble.

Gu Ning has also been busy recently, hospital matters, her own matters, and taking care of herself and work, which is very tiring. With the old lady and Qin Qin Jingru here, she is also at ease.

This time, without the threat of Ma's eyes, Li Shu, the big devil, is like the Monkey King overturning the Five Finger Mountain.

Especially since her little uncle came to the house, he really coaxed her and played with her. Dangerous actions that the old lady wouldn't let her do before, and Ma wouldn't let her do, were all realized with the help of her little uncle now.

Sometimes when the weather was hot, her little uncle would take her out for a ride on a motorcycle, which was very joyful.

There was only one thing: her little uncle, like her little aunt, liked to love her too much sometimes.

After dinner, everyone was drinking tea and chatting. Gu Yan turned out the camera that Old Lao Biaozi had returned, saying he would use it to go out and play tomorrow.

Seeing him fiddling with the new toy, Li Shu couldn't help but want it too. As a result, the big devil became her little uncle's model.

Gu Yan found the film Li Li Xuewu had bought from the basement. He didn't feel pain selling his grandfather's field, and took Li Shu to practice his skills.

He took photos of the whole family, with Li Shu's being the most. There were those sitting by the piano, those standing by the fireplace, and those driving cars and riding motorcycles. As if she knew it was fun, Li Shu also cooperated, doing whatever she was told.

The whole family was lively for more than an hour. Li Li Xuewu drove to send Li Xue home, and also had to pick up Old Lao Biaozi.

On the road, Li Xue felt the cool breeze at night, gathered the long hair by her ears, and looked at the thousands of lights and the starry sky, only feeling that life should be like this.

The noise and quarrels of the day subsided with the arrival of the night. For the first time, she told her second brother about her hardships.

"If only there were no such struggles~"

"Impossible."

Li Li Xuewu held the steering wheel, turned his head to look at his sentimental sister, and then explained: "Where there are people, there is a world; where there is a world, there are disputes and entanglements of interests. This is a net. Once you enter, you can't escape."

Li Xue rubbed her forehead and said helplessly: "I can already feel it. No one can escape."

After sighing with her second brother, Li Xue looked at her second brother and asked: "If, I mean if I receive the threat of the 'Great Learning Activity,' what should I do?"

"Hehe, the 'if' you used is really good~"

Li Li Xuewu chuckled and asked: "You don't want to play tricks on your second brother, do you? If you have something to say, just say it directly."

Li Xue curled her lips and said: "I just asked casually. Tell me~"

"Not saying."

Li Li Xuewu refused directly and said: "You asked casually, but I lost a lot."

"What is it~"

Li Xue pushed her second brother and complained: "I didn't ask for your money, what is there to lose~"

"Hmm, this loss is more serious than losing money."

Li Li Xuewu twitched his mouth, glanced at his sister, and said: "You've learned to be bad. You know the attitude of the Party toward traitors. Think clearly before you use means on me~"

"Ah ya~"

Li Xue was a bit speechless, then she was clawing and scratching, complaining that her second brother had wronged her.

Li Li Xuewu, however, said amusedly: "You were playing tricks on me when you came back. Now you want to trick my words again. Your leader also looks down on me too much. Just sent such a rookie?"

"Second brother~!"

Li Xue twisted her body, looked at Li Li Xuewu, and said righteously: "You wronged me~ I really just asked casually."

"Fine, fine, fine~"

Li Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Then I refuse to answer, okay~"

"No!"

The noise of the siblings spilled all the way, adding a bit of liveliness and fun to this midsummer night.

Courtyard, Bai Bai Xiyuan.

Li Li Xuewu parked the car well, looked at his sister who was still pestering him, and said helplessly: "Let your leader show some sincerity. If you want to use personal relationships to handle things, be more generous. Who recognizes her."

After finishing, he pressed his big hand on Li Xue's head, forcibly twisted it in a direction, then pushed his sister's shoulder into the Bai Bai Xiyuan.

Yu Li, who opened the main gate for them, followed behind and watched with a smile, until Li Li Xuewu pushed Li Xue past the screen wall and into the hanging flower gate before returning to the inverted room.

Li Li Xuewu had called in the afternoon, asking her to notify the family that he wouldn't be coming over at night. When he got off work, Sha Zhu brought back the news that Li Xue had gone to her second brother's house.

Knowing that Li Li Xuewu would definitely come at night, everyone in the inverted room was waiting for him.

Li Li Xuewu first went home to explain to his mother that he wouldn't be able to accompany her back on time for the next month.

Liu Yin didn't care about this. Her son wasn't going to another place, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law weren't far away either. She could take the bus to see them. It's the same whoever sees whom.

It was just that like the old lady, Liu Yin was also worried about whether her son's job change would bring him danger.

Li Li Xuewu told his mother what he had said to the old lady again. With sister-in-law Zhao Zhao Yafang and Ji Ji Yuxiu helping to explain on the side, Liu Yin understood the relationship here very quickly.

Ji Ji Yuxiu finished speaking to her mother-in-law and also congratulated Li Li Xuewu, but then expressed her helplessness at not being able to work with her second brother.

Li Li Xuewu didn't say anything about the future, just encouraged her to do her work well and steadily. The two units were close, so he could take care of what should be taken care of.

Ji Ji Yuxiu knew what Li Li Xuewu's function of coordinating local work represented, but she didn't know how great the influence could be.

To put it bluntly, she was the director because of her second brother's protection and relationship. Who in the branch bureau didn't know she was Li Li Xuewu's sister-in-law?

On the contrary, few people knew about her family's connections. Everyone thought Li Li Xuewu was taking care of her.

Li Li Xuewu wasn't afraid of others guessing like this. One was that she and the third brother weren't married yet, and the second was that the two weren't in the same branch unit, so there was no need to avoid suspicion.

Chatting with her about the work in the office and the situation in the street, he also talked to his sister-in-law about work.

Liu Yin also didn't know what her eldest daughter-in-law was doing for the second son. The two talked about things she mostly didn't understand, only thinking she was helping the Bai Bai Xiyuan manage accounts.

Because Zhao Zhao Yafang didn't leave the courtyard easily, just doing daily writing and calculating, it didn't delay her pregnancy, so she didn't say anything.

On the kang, there were clothes patterns. She was preparing for the two grandsons who were about to be born. They were winter months, so she had to prepare.

These children grow very fast. They have to change a set of clothes in a month. If they are big, they won't fit; if they are small, they won't fit even more.

Li Li Xuewu talked for a while, then went to the outer courtyard. After greeting the people in the room, he knew that the fourth brother had accompanied Old Lao Biaozi to the mountain. After teasing a few words, he went out.

When he met Old Lao Biaozi outside the city, he saw Old Lao Biaozi's face was wrong, and the fourth brother was also swaying his eyes, not daring to look at Lao Biaozi's appearance.

"What's wrong?"

Li Li Xuewu flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, looked at the big brother with a bitter face under the car light, raised his eyebrows, and asked: "Did you run into something unclean?"

As he spoke, he looked at the fourth brother. Seeing that he had no reaction, it shouldn't be like that.

Old Lao Biaozi didn't pull him to see the car bucket as usual, but stood aside, stammering and telling his problem.

"So, do you really have an object?"

After listening to Old Lao Biaozi's narrative, Li Li Xuewu didn't care about the things he said in his words first, but looked at the big brother up and down in disbelief, and asked this question he had asked many times.

Old Lao Biaozi rubbed his big fat face helplessly, saying don't tease him.

Li Li Xuewu nodded, patted the big brother's shoulder, and said: "I'll handle this for you, but there is one condition."

"You say~ you say~"

Old Lao Biaozi saw that Wu Ge was willing to help, so he hurriedly put down his hands covering his face, stared with wide eyes, and nodded repeatedly.

Li Li Xuewu looked at Old Lao Biaozi seriously and said: "The condition is that you must guarantee that you really have an object."

Old Lao Biaozi: "..."

Li Li Xuewu saw him frozen there and knew he was anxious, so he didn't tease him anymore, smiled, patted his arm, and comforted: "Rest assured, this doesn't count as a big deal."

After finishing, he pinched his arm, frowned, and asked: "But I heard you say before, you have two objects, this one if it's true, then the other one...?"

Old Lao Biaozi knew Wu Ge never believed what he said, so he said helplessly: "If you are not busy tomorrow, I'll take you to see them?"

"Forget it~"

Li Li Xuewu really couldn't think of any reason to specifically see the object in the big brother's mouth. Whether it's true or false, whatever he says is what it is.

"But do you want this one, or that one?"

Li Li Xuewu looked at the big brother's appearance. He really looked like the landlord of the early days, with the fat virtue of enjoying the blessings of all, but the times have changed.

Old Lao Biaozi started stammering again, looking like he couldn't bear to part with either.

Li Li Xuewu twitched his mouth, pointed at the big brother, and urged: "If you want to live a proper life, then choose one. If you think you have the ability to raise two, don't be like a chick, or those two will tear you apart!"

After finishing, he poked him and went to check the goods on the car.

Old Lao Biaozi stood in place not knowing what he was thinking. After Li Li Xuewu finished checking, he sighed and took the fourth brother who got off the car to the jeep.

Li Li Xuewu started the fire, drove to the side of the jeep, shouted from the car window: "Nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I'll come to the courtyard to pick you up."

After finishing, he stepped on the accelerator to the end, roared the car and ran far away, leaving the romantic Old Lao Biaozi still considering the problem of choosing one or fighting for two.

The fourth brother seemed to have heard a number, climbed into the passenger seat of the jeep, and teased with a smile: "Biao brother, if you feel tired, I can help."

"Hmm? Help with what?"

Old Lao Biaozi looked at him with drooping eyelids. The boys have grown up, and the days of getting along have been long, so they all dare to joke with him.

Before, he was the one teasing these boys. Recently, he has been away from home, and this group of rascals is going to turn the sky upside down.

Old Lao Biaozi said while twisting the ignition knob next to the steering wheel, but he deliberately only twisted it halfway. The engine stuttered, called twice, and stopped.

"What's going on?"

The fourth brother, who was joking just now, was nervous now. If the car couldn't start, and there was no village in front or shop behind, did they have to push the car back?

It was pitch black, there were no cars on the road, and no one could be called. Especially this remote road, it was scary black.

Old Lao Biaozi also said worriedly: "Don't tell me it's out of gas? Did Wu Ge forget to refuel?"

After finishing, he signaled the fourth brother in the passenger seat: "You get out of the car and push from behind, try to see if it can start."

The fourth brother looked at the pitch-black road. The stars in the sky could be seen, but the moonlight wasn't very bright, after all, it was only past eight o'clock.

"That... Biao brother."

The fourth brother knew Biao brother was a prankster, and he was also afraid this bad guy was deliberately teasing him, but he couldn't see the other party's face at this moment, so he couldn't doubt or judge.

He could only move to get out of the car while urging: "Biao brother, don't tease me, I'm most afraid of the dark."

"Why would I tease you! Do I have the heart to tease you?!"

Old Lao Biaozi shouted dissatisfiedly, and at the same time twisted the ignition knob again anxiously. The machine still stuttered twice and stalled, as if it had a problem.

The fourth brother had no choice but to get out of the car and go to the back, pushing the car hard, while still urging: "Biao brother, once the car starts, don't leave..."

"Clatter~ Boom~!"

Before his words were finished, the car he was pushing started, but it roared and rushed forward.

Watching the car about to run far away, the fourth brother cried and waved his hands, shouting: "Biao brother! I haven't gotten on the car yet!"

"Wuwuwu~"

"Stop crying, you're a big guy~"

"Wuwuwu~"

"Oh my~ are you done yet~ I was just teasing you~"

"Wuwuwu~"

"Fine, fine, fine! I was wrong, okay!"

"Wuwuwu~"

"If you do this again, I won't take you out next time!!"

"Okay, Biao brother, it's a deal!"

When Li Li Xuewu parked the car in the garage, he happened to meet his grandfather feeding the horses in the Bai Bai Xiyuan. He helped him carry a bucket of warm water, chatted about his own affairs, and also asked about the recycling station.

Grandfather was still the same, saying what he had, and not saying what he didn't have. He kept talking about how autumn was coming, and he had to prepare winter grass for the big green horse.

Or saying that the wood at home wasn't enough, and he had to cut more from the mountain to dry, but he was afraid of the autumn rain on the mountain, which would rot it.

Since the grandson moved away, the time for the grandfather to talk to him was less. Even if Li Li Xuewu came back every week, the time belonging to the grandfather and grandson wasn't much.

Grandfather's eyes were full of concern and pride when looking at Li Li Xuewu. The pension he had agreed to let Li Li Xuewu provide at the beginning was more of a kind of love.

Naughty in childhood, talented in adulthood, the elderly like this kind of prodigal son who returns.

Grandfather's support for Li Li Xuewu was also consistent. Hearing that his grandson was going to be busy for a month, he nodded and agreed to take care of the family, so that he had no worries.

Whether it's the courtyard or the Bai Bai Xiyuan, there is a mother busy at home, and there are second grandfather and Lao Biaozi and others in the Bai Bai Xiyuan to preside over the work, but grandfather can see it in his eyes, so he can play a crucial role.

At least he can ensure that during the time Li Li Xuewu is away, everyone will not have contradictions and problems.

The grandfather and grandson entered the inverted room. Everyone in the room was waiting, even Chen Xiaoyan and Shen Guodong were there.

However, Wang Wang Yamei and Sha Zhu's family weren't there. Yu Li said they had all gone back. Wang Wang Yamei is now picked up and dropped off by her sister, which is on the way.

Knowing that Li Li Xuewu would definitely come at night, everyone in the Bai Bai Xiyuan was waiting for him.

Li Li Xuewu sat cross-legged on the kang, first listened to the reports of several people in charge, and also talked about his work changes. He didn't explain as carefully as he did to his family, but he talked about the changes in the steel mill.

After that, he talked to several people about the work arrangements for the next period, mainly Old Lao Biaozi's trade activities, as well as the preparation work in Steel City.

Autumn is coming soon, and the trade train is already making plans. The goods in Beijing and Steel City are all sold by the recycling station. The order is to do trade by borrowing the freight train.

This work is very important and cannot be missed, especially the hardware factory and other production units to be prepared in Steel City, which will definitely affect the business of the recycling station.

Now the people who contact trade business and management in the recycling station are Old Lao Biaozi, Lou Yan Jie, and Wen San. They have many contacts, but Li Li Xuewu still has to grasp the general direction.

Especially facing the storm attack in the next month, he has to make full preparations.

First is the recycling of scrap and waste, changing from one person per group to two people per group, preferring to sacrifice efficiency to improve safety guarantees.

Second is the safety issue of related personnel. He is still very at ease with the Bai Bai Xiyuan side. Those who dare to rush into the alley to make trouble mostly have a purpose.

And those with a purpose are nothing more than those few aspects, which are all within Li Li Xuewu's consideration.

The focus is Steel City, as well as Jilin City.

He planned to use a few days this month to go there to check the development of these few months, and also make autumn project preparation arrangements.

But heaven doesn't follow human wishes. Steel City and Jilin City can't be gone to. Even if he goes, it will be September, and there might be delays.

So while telling Old Lao Biaozi, let him notify Steel City and Jilin City to tighten business and preserve strength, while arranging for Old Lao Biaozi to go to Steel City and Jilin City with Lou Yan Jie recently.

Things are a bit troublesome and a bit complicated. He couldn't move because he had to wait for the Security Brigade's news earlier, and now he is tripped by training, so his actions are even more inconvenient.

Old Lao Biaozi is naturally willing to go to the Northeast, but he also raised a question, that is, who will do the work at home during his absence.

Li Li Xuewu pondered for a moment, his eyes swept over everyone in the room: grandfather, second grandfather, Shen Shen Guodong, Chen Xiaoyan, Yu Li, and Yang Erhai.

"Shen Guodong, you are not a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child anymore, you have to take on housework~"

"Thank you, Wu Ge. I'm nineteen this year."

Shen Shen Guodong saw Wu Ge pointing at him, knowing that he was arranging for him to take over Biao brother's business.

Actually, he had already been taking over this aspect of work recently, but it was mostly at the execution level. He didn't have much contact with related unit personnel, but he knew them all.

Li Li Xuewu smiled, his fingers pointed at Old Lao Biaozi, and urged: "Starting tomorrow, Yang Erhai will take over the waste recycling business, and you will take Shen Guodong to familiarize himself with the business."

Watching Old Lao Biaozi nod, he took two cigarettes from the cigarette box and distributed them to everyone.

After lighting them, Li Li Xuewu pointed his finger holding the cigarette at Yu Li and said: "Tomorrow I will take you to the club, and you will be responsible for the business there in the future."

Yu Li was happy, knowing that he finally arranged for her, but thinking of the Bai Bai Xiyuan, she was a bit embarrassed.

"There is a shortage of manpower here. It's all easy to say at ordinary times, but when there are many people..."

"There are only a few time periods when there are many people."

Li Li Xuewu explained: "Grandfather is still responsible for the furniture, but don't do so much. Hand it all over to the Xicheng Third Prison to process."

Grandfather nodded. This business was also planned long ago. He went there often, which can be considered a guidance teacher, and also a Party A grandfather.

"Daily manpower in the store includes grandfather, second grandfather, Shen Guodong, Chen Xiaoyan, Diliya, and Wang Wang Yamei."

Li Li Xuewu nodded to Yu Li and said: "Cultivate Wang Wang Yamei well. That girl is very smart."

Yu Li pursed her lips and said: "I listen to you."

Seeing that she had no problems, Li Li Xuewu pointed at Shen Shen Guodong and urged: "The most important thing about trade business is not how much you sold, nor how much you earned, but how much of the human relationship Lao Biaozi handed over to you can you maintain."

Shen Shen Guodong knew Wu Ge was talking about serious things, so he sat very straight and listened seriously with a serious face.

"Spend what should be spent, use what should be used, don't feel sorry for the money."

Li Li Xuewu gave Old Lao Biaozi a look, and Old Lao Biaozi nodded and said: "I will teach him."

"Chen Xiaoyan."

Everything was arranged, Li Li Xuewu looked at this little sister again, smiled slightly, and said: "Logistics work is handed over to you. Take good care of everyone's diet, and communicate more with Diliya and Wang Wang Yamei."

Chen Xiaoyan smiled and nodded, saying: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the family for you."

Li Li Xuewu pointed at her and reminded her with a smile: "You understand what I mean."

"I understand."

Chen Xiaoyan smiled and nodded very positively, giving Li Li Xuewu a clear reply.

She naturally understood what it meant. Wu Ge pointed out the names of Wang Wang Yamei and Diliya. Did she still need to guess?

After the family affairs were arranged, Li Li Xuewu knocked on the table again, reminding Old Lao Biaozi to take a batch of red books and related items when going to Steel City. Now this thing is a hot commodity.

In the next batch of trade cargo lists, all materials produced by the East City First Prison and the Xicheng Third Prison have been included.

Including the fruit canned food being made on the mountain, and the canned pickles that are about to finish fermenting.

Industrial products are exchanged for raw materials, manufactured into commodities, and sold back. What is earned is a technical fee.

The recycling station has nothing—no mature workers, no machines for processing and production, and no specialized procurement and sales departments.

However, the recycling station has various relationships. By threading the needle, it can connect various units and departments together.

Commodities from other cities entering Beijing will be scattered to all walks of life such as Beijing Railway Station, Steel Mill, Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Regiment 3, Prison, Procuratorate, Security Department, Investigation Department, Red Star Training Ground Joint Enterprise, Steel Mill Industrial Production Joint Enterprise, etc.

This is a kind of trade, and also a kind of welfare. All units on this trade line connected by the recycling station will give as much help and support as possible to this trade line.

Correspondingly, whoever dares to target this line is smashing the rice bowls of all units on this line.

It doesn't matter if you affect the work of various units, but if you affect the welfare benefits that can be specific to individuals, then the matter will be big.

No one can tell which unit the short, thick, and fat man who comes to various units to visit is from, or what his identity is.

But they all know very clearly that as long as this fat man comes, the unit's welfare goods will be distributed again.

Everyone respects this fat man very much, at least with a welcoming attitude.

He can enter places others can't, such as the Procuratorate, Prison, and various powerful departments. He can see people others can't see, including the big shots of various units.

No one will refuse a fat man who enriches their unit's welfare goods, even if he looks really ugly.

When Li Li Xuewu went out, Old Lao Biaozi wanted to go with him. He lived in his own house and had to guard his girl.

Glancing at the East Room, seeing the fourth brother's eyes were still red, Li Li Xuewu turned and pointed at Old Lao Biaozi.

He heard about the night's events after he came back, scolded him with a smile, and was too lazy to talk about him at this moment.

Just after going out, he reminded Old Lao Biaozi: "Being so bad, the family is fine, but aren't you afraid of people talking about you outside?"

"Afraid of what?"

Old Lao Biaozi went out with his face to the sky, shrugged his shoulders at Li Li Xuewu, and said: "One person speaks ill of me, that's his problem. A group of people speak ill of me, that means... they know each other."

"If this group of people gang up to speak ill of me, do you say I'm bad, or they are bad?"

Old Lao Biaozi touched his chin and asked Li Li Xuewu shamelessly.

Li Li Xuewu, however, patted him, pushed him out the door with a smile.

Watching Old Lao Biaozi ride his bike out, Li Li Xuewu went to the Bai Bai Xiyuan, starting to go to the underground warehouse to move the antiques prepared by the second grandfather.

When he came back at night, the large truck had already been placed in position. He just needed to move the things below and load them onto the truck to transport them out.

Just after opening the door of the North Warehouse, Yu Li's voice came from behind: "Always mysterious, why don't you call everyone to help?"

"You didn't go to sleep?"

Li Li Xuewu turned and glanced at Yu Li. Seeing it was just her, he continued the work in his hands.

Yu Li put on her gloves, twitched her mouth, and said: "Don't know if you just like to work hard, insisting on doing this alone."

"One is for confidentiality reasons, the other reason is not wanting you to follow and work hard."

Li Li Xuewu explained: "In name, these things are going to be destroyed. If too many people know, it's not convenient to manage."

"Even if it's our own people, there are times when things slip out."

"But they all know you are transporting this~"

Yu Li followed Li Li Xuewu into the warehouse and asked: "How can you keep it secret like this?"

"Of course it can be kept secret."

Li Li Xuewu stood under the ladder, turned his head, raised his eyes to look at Yu Li, and said: "Do you know where I sent them? Do you know what I sent?"

Yu Li didn't know how to say it for a moment. When they were collected, they were collected one by one, truck by truck. But if you want to say specifically what things they were, these accounts are all in the second grandfather's hands.

The ones sent away?

No one knows what Li Li Xuewu pulled away, how many trucks there were, or what things they were.

Is it confidential?

Even if you know, you can't say it. This is called confidentiality.

It's just that the people in the Bai Bai Xiyuan said it, and Li Li Xuewu could also use the name of recycling to brush it off. But if someone intervened in this, it wouldn't be clear.

After all, they participated, so whatever he says is evidence.

Which city doesn't have those confidential units? Do they not communicate with the outside world?

How is that possible? But have you seen anyone talk about this?

Only those who stare at these things will be curious. You just catch them.

Confidentiality is relative, not absolute. This is confidentiality work.

Yu Li pointed to the top embarrassedly and asked hesitantly: "Then should I go back to sleep?"

"Come down, I trust you."

Li Li Xuewu opened his arms, looking like he was going to catch Yu Li.

Yu Li pursed her lips and smiled, opened her arms, and jumped down, steadily caught in Li Li Xuewu's arms.

Holding Li Li Xuewu's face, Yu Li said gently: "I miss you~"

"Do you choose to work first, or do... first?"

"You! Mmm~"

"Is it moving the metal first?"

Yu Li patted the bronze tripod she was just supporting. The two handle-like tripod ears were quite suitable. She didn't know if the ancients used them like this.

Li Li Xuewu put away the few paintings Yu Li had just flattened. One of them had already spread out, and the words inside were exposed.

Yu Li walked over to help him tidy up, looked at the words on the painting, didn't recognize them, pointed to Li Li Xuewu, and asked: "This is the signature, right? Who is it?"

Li Li Xuewu turned his face to look, and said: "Fan Kuan? Seems like it."

"You don't recognize it either?"

Yu Li's gaze seemed as if Li Li Xuewu knew everything and could do everything.

"

Jia Jia Zhangshi's family didn't have any relatives to brag about. This time, she could finally raise her face. It was Li Li Xuewu's driver, so she felt at ease and could brag as much as she wanted. ===== CHAPTER 781 =====

Ran Ran Qiuye looked at the empty office and the traces he had just left. She felt her brain was a bit dazed. She couldn't stand steadily all at once and fell back onto the sofa.

Covering her face, she questioned herself over and over again: What happened today? What did she say? Especially his reaction, which made her even more embarrassed.

She picked up the teacup and took a big gulp. The tea was already a bit warm, but it was just right to cool herself down. She didn't know if it was from crying or from shame; her face was burning hot.

"Now reading the reorganization of the Jingcheng D District Security Brigade..."

The morning meeting was very urgent. Li Li Xuewu and Wang Wang Xiaoqin, who had returned from duty, changed into uniforms first and went to the branch bureau together for the meeting.

And at the meeting, Li Li Xuewu saw Qi Qi Yaowu and Zhao Zhao Zhenhua, as well as several leaders of the branch bureau who were at home.

And the person presiding over the meeting wasn't Gao Zhen, but the second-in-command of the municipal bureau, as well as the third-in-command of the Garrison District.

The meeting was held very quickly. There was no discussion, no solicitation of opinions, just reading orders and issuing instructions.

These instructions included the procedures for the merger of the 816th Regiment and the Security Brigade, the lifting of the personnel freeze order, and the explanation of the situation after the merger.

With the 816th Regiment as the main body, the Security Brigade was reorganized and merged into the Garrison management sequence, belonging to the Garrison District management.

The personnel on the Security Brigade's roster were decided according to the previously established plan and the solicitation of the branch bureau's opinions: the personnel in active duty, that is, the security brigade members from the early stage, were all returned to their original units according to the established procedures.

And the more than 1,500 newly recruited people in training were reorganized according to the sequence, becoming the foundation of the new team.

The Security Brigade's organ management personnel were transferred to the Garrison management sequence together with the management cadres.

The reorganized team was named the Garrison Division 2, Regiment 3.

Regiment 3 Commander Qi Qi Yaowu, Deputy Regiment Commander and First Deputy Political Commissar Li Li Xuewu, Deputy Regiment Commander Chu Chu Nanfang.

Political Commissar Zhao Zhao Zhenhua, Deputy Political Commissar Wang Wang Xiaoqin, Chief of Staff Zhang Successful, Deputy Chief of Staff Shen Fang.

The cadres of the Security Brigade all served as deputies, fully embodying the reorganization plan with the 816th Regiment as the main body.

There were also other reasons such as the 816th Regiment, which was the main body, having more people, a complete structure, and clear affiliation.

Other Security Brigade management cadres were transferred together, including Pazile serving as Deputy Battalion Commander of the Special Service Battalion 1, Zhai Zhai Chuchu serving as Deputy Director of the Political Department, Qin Qin Ruizhen serving as Deputy Director of the Logistics Department, etc.

The original team Li Li Xuewu had prepared for the Security Brigade was all transferred, and the graduates of the Huaqing system who were recruited later were also adjusted and assigned according to the positions determined before the personnel freeze order.

After the meeting at the branch bureau was over, everyone moved to the Security Brigade together.

More than a dozen jeeps drove directly into the courtyard. After getting off, they were guided by Shen Fang, who was waiting here, and everyone went to the newly renovated dormitory building.

There was a large conference room in the dormitory building that could accommodate all active-duty personnel for a plenary meeting.

And at the general meeting, Regiment 3 Commander Qi Qi Yaowu, who had just been formed, read the reorganization order, Deputy Political Commissar Wang Wang Xiaoqin read the personnel cadre appointment document, and Li Li Xuewu made a statement on behalf of the original Security Brigade.

And what caught Li Li Xuewu and others off guard was that after his speech ended, the third-in-command of the Garrison District, who hadn't said much, announced a piece of news: all transferred cadres of the Security Brigade had to accept a one-month political study training.

This was truly...

Li Li Xuewu and Wang Wang Xiaoqin looked at each other and saw the unexpectedness in each other's eyes.

Li Li Xuewu had planned to go to Steel City for a vacation when he came out, but he didn't expect to have a vacation on the spot.

And the next words of that person also pointed out the reason for this requirement: the management personnel and organ personnel of the Security Brigade hadn't accepted systematic training and education after all, and there was a gap with the current Garrison management system.

However, they were regiment-level cadres after all, and it was impossible to accept such a long period of closed training.

So Li Li Xuewu, Wang Wang Xiaoqin, and other regiment-level cadres only accepted one month of training, and it wasn't closed-off.

Pazile and the others had no choice; they all accepted closed training, and after this month of basic training ended, they had to participate in basic military training.

When sending off the Garrison District cadres and the city cadres, Zheng Zheng Fuhua said helplessly to several people: "It hurts my heart. These are good seedlings we worked so hard to cultivate."

The leaders from the Garrison side smiled and glanced at Li Li Xuewu. They didn't expect the Security Brigade cadres here to be so valued by local leaders; they had already been transferred, yet they were still being praised.

Of course, this also reflected from the side that the Security Brigade cadres were very excellent. He shook hands with Zheng Zheng Fuhua, didn't thank him, just said a few whispers, and then got in the car and left. ===== CHAPTER 780 =====

Wang Wang Jingzhang didn't know about these things, and even if he did, he wouldn't care, because the answer he had been looking forward to for a long time was about to be revealed.

News had come that the higher-ups were already preparing; they might notify them next week, and an organization to control the Steel Rolling Mill through the Great Learning Activity was about to be established.

Even if he couldn't compete with Li Li Huai De and couldn't be the number one, he held the Red Flag Society in his hands, so he could always get the number two spot, right?

Not to mention the number two spot, even if he successfully landed ashore and got a chair in the decision-making layer, it wouldn't have been in vain.

As for what positions he had promised to others in the Red Flag Society, that was hard to say; when the time came, everyone would look out for themselves, and there would always be big and small pieces when dividing the cake.

Now was a critical period, so he naturally cared about and valued the generals in his hands, because if he wanted to obtain that position, he had to show his influence.

If he didn't show his influence, how could he fight for the position? Would people care about him?

Bringing down Yang Yang Fengshan was the first step, and the next was to aim at Li Li Huai De, forcing him to negotiate with him; only when the East Wind and the Red Flag walked together could they fully control the Steel Rolling Mill.

This was a compromise choice Wang Wang Jingzhang made after considering all the conditions; what made him compromise was the rapid expansion of the East Wind, as well as the Workers' Correction Team and the Cultural Propaganda Team that had already been formed.

He knew very well that the assault teams he had put together couldn't withstand the attacks of these people, so the most suitable method was to aim directly at Li Li Huai De, just like dealing with Yang Yang Fengshan.

As long as Li Li Huai De couldn't hold on, they would be able to sit down and talk slowly when the time came; he didn't want much, and Li Li Huai De was a smart man—the two of them joining hands to talk to Yang Yang Yuansong would be much easier.

Speaking of caring about his generals, Wang Wang Jingzhang had already turned to the workshop side; naturally, he encountered the people from the Security Department watching him at the entrance, but he didn't care.

He greeted the two guards who were expressionless and didn't look at him directly with a smile, muttering in his heart that these two were just like Li Li Xuewu, looking down on people.

Ever since he met Li Li Xuewu, that guy had never looked up to him; Wang Wang Jingzhang felt fire in his heart, thinking that sooner or later he would have to pay it back.

Seeing that the workshop door was closed and there was light inside, he muttered: "What's with closing it in the middle of summer..."

Before he could finish speaking, his ears moved; listening to the movement inside, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

After gently pushing open the small workshop door and leaning in to take a look, seeing that it was the large conference room usually used for propaganda work, his guess became even more certain.

Waiting for the figures of Fang Lining and Fu Linfang to appear in the window, Wang Wang Jingzhang slowly retreated, and at the same time gently pulled the small workshop door shut.

You can't have both fish and bear's paw; at this time, Wang Wang Jingzhang needed them to put in the effort to support his rise.

Especially after what he had just seen, in Wang Wang Jingzhang's view, it wasn't a bad thing.
