Chapter 797: Sentiments

"Still resting? There's work that hasn't been finished yet~"

Li Xuewu stood up with a smile, looked at her coquettish expression, and thinking of the sensation from just a moment ago, he was truly quite stirred.

Now he understood what it meant to say that the buttocks determine the brain!

These words were just too damn reasonable!

Zhang Songying said with dissatisfaction: "You haven't rested for a whole month, can't you take a break?"

"Another day! Definitely another day!"

Li Xuewu smiled and pointed outside the door, while leaning close to the ear of Zhang Songying, who had walked over, he whispered: "Just got back, there's a lot of work, and many people are keeping an eye on me."

After finishing, he tapped Zhang Songying again and said: "Work hard, next month I'm going to Yangcheng with Director Li, and I'm taking you."

"Really!"

Zhang Songying's eyes were full of surprise, but then she asked with some hesitation: "Is it appropriate for me to go?"

"It's appropriate."

Li Xuewu explained with a smile: "We're going to Yangcheng to inspect and learn about the management and operations of advanced guesthouses and hotels."

"That would be great~ I've grown up this big and have never even left Jingcheng!"

Zhang Songying first said happily, then reacted and asked: "What operations? Isn't it a guesthouse? How come it's also with hotels..."

"You'll know slowly."

Li Xuewu said with a smile and was about to leave, but was held back by Zhang Songying.

"That..."

Zhang Songying asked hesitantly: "Fu Linfang has left, what should be done about the guesthouse side? Right now only Huairu is busy alone, I still have to go back to help after I finish here."

"How was it done before?"

Li Xuewu looked at her and said: "Keep it like this for now, it's not the right time to move on personnel issues."

"Also~ we need to use the small conference room this afternoon to host a few leaders, tidy it up."

After finishing, he lifted the lunch box in his hand and turned to leave the private room.

The second floor was already empty, but there were still a few people eating downstairs, and they greeted Li Xuewu with smiles when they saw him.

Li Xuewu also responded with a smile, took the washed lunch box, and returned to the Security Building.

Saying there was work wasn't because he couldn't do it anymore, nor was he putting Zhang Songying off, but he was truly busy.

Arriving at the office, he spoke a few words with Sha Qizhi, then picked up the phone and dialed over to the Huaqing side.

It was September, and usually, school should have started, but Huaqing was currently a mess, and it was unknown how things would play out.

Li Xuewu's call wasn't made directly to Li Congyun, but to the Huaqing Security Division.

Having just returned, he had only called a few close relations to send greetings, and for Li Congyun's side, he had only called his home.

At that time, the call was answered by his wife, and Li Xuewu asked a few questions before hanging up.

Li Congyun's wife still remembered this cheap nephew of hers, and still remembered Li Xue.

However, after all, they had only met once, and he didn't have much contact with Li Congyun usually; for official business, it was best to take a roundabout way.

Wu Youqing was very surprised when he answered the phone and asked with a bitter smile: "I thought you had gone missing!"

"Damn! If you, Division Chief Wu, had even a little bit of a heart to think of me, you could have known where I was just by calling and asking!"

Li Xuewu scolded with a smile, then turned serious in tone and asked: "How is it? Is the situation on your side okay?"

"Just dealing with living~"

Wu Youqing's words were very subtle, but Li Xuewu could hear his helplessness.

The situation at Huaqing was even more dangerous and severe than at the Steel Rolling Mill, and Wu Youqing was in such a position; being able to persist until now could be considered a miracle.

"As long as you're alive, as long as you're alive~"

Li Xuewu also said with emotion, then asked: "Are there any difficulties? Anything I can handle here, I definitely will."

Wu Youqing sighed and said: "A few people who need protection have already been arranged to go to the First Detention Center for labor; you just need to help take care of them."

"I know about this matter."

Li Xuewu agreed very seriously, then asked: "Are many people affected?"

"Sigh~ too many~ it's truly impossible to take care of them all!"

Wu Youqing said helplessly: "You can tell from your eldest brother's situation; our situation here is different from your factory's, those people... why did you call today?"

"Our situation here is the same, hmm."

Li Xuewu said in a low voice: "I also just returned from training, and after hearing some bad news, I thought of you all."

After finishing, he paused, as if organizing his emotions, and said again: "I applied with the factory, wanting to start a cooperative project with you all, needing some high-quality research-oriented talent, including in the automotive and industrial aspects."

"Really!"

Wu Youqing asked in surprise, then added with worry: "Won't it be affected? I mean..."

"It won't."

Li Xuewu clearly stated: "Our factory has already stabilized, the leadership attaches great importance to this aspect of work, setting up a separate project, establishing a separate research institute, managing personnel separately; you can rest assured regarding safety."

Wu Youqing asked hesitantly: "Then... living conditions?... We can also persist..."

"You can also rest assured about this."

Li Xuewu said: "Since I dared to make this call to you, it's already been arranged; the situation on your side must be very bad, looking at our factory, you know how difficult it is for you."

"Let's not talk about these."

Wu Youqing said: "I'll report to the leadership in a while, then I'll go to your place; you just wait for me."

After finishing, he asked again: "Do you only need industrial research personnel? Don't you need people in architecture or atomic energy?"

"Yes!"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "As long as you, Division Chief Wu, speak up, we need them, but please help me tell the teachers and students studying atomic energy that scientific research and teaching are both fine, but they can't play for real!"

"Thanks, brother~"

Wu Youqing's voice was choked with sobs when he hung up the phone, and his words were full of emotion.

Of course, he had to be moved; could Li Xuewu ask someone for a favor and let himself suffer a loss in human sentiment?

Of course, he had to make the other party feel they owed him!

After finishing this call, Li Xuewu thought for a moment, then dialed the Steel Institute, of course, looking for his own class teacher.

"Division Chief..."

Sha Qizhi walked in with Zhou Yao, just about to greet him, but seeing Li Xuewu was on the phone, he stopped his words.

Li Xuewu looked at the two, gestured to the opposite side of the desk with the phone, and answered again upon hearing movement on the phone.

Zhou Yao hesitated whether to wait a while before coming up, but since Division Chief Sha had already gestured for her to go over and sit, she had no choice but to follow in.

Sha Qizhi listened to the leader's call, seemingly talking to the Steel Institute side, didn't pay attention, took a teacup, and went to help Li Xuewu get hot water.

After Zhou Yao sat down, she glanced at Li Xuewu, and seeing the leader wasn't paying attention to her, she opened her notebook, preparing the words she would say to the leader in a moment.

Li Xuewu's call wasn't very long; she heard the general meaning was to cooperate with the Steel Institute to research automobiles and smelting.

She didn't quite understand the specifics, but she thought, weren't all universities currently having classes suspended?

"Talked with Huang Shiwen?"

After Li Xuewu put down the phone, he glanced at Zhou Yao, and while taking the teacup handed over by Sha Qizhi, he asked a question.

Zhou Yao nodded and said: "Talked, she told me the whole story of the matter."

"Hmm."

Li Xuewu nodded and asked: "Seeing her mental state isn't very good, how is she now?"

"Yes, she's already much better."

Zhou Yao pursed her lips and said: "After she ran out of the hospital, she didn't remember many things; by the time she could remember, she was already at the Liangma River beach."

Li Xuewu opened the case report Sha Qizhi had found for him and looked; it said the Security Section had also looked for people, but hadn't found her.

Regarding the search scope, the Security Section recorded it very clearly, which was a search inside the entire factory; it didn't go outside, because the guards at several entrances all said they hadn't seen anyone run out.

Waking up at the Liangma River beach, that meant she had run out from the Joint Enterprise construction site.

That side had stopped work, no wonder they couldn't find her.

"After waking up, she didn't know what she had done, just wandering around nearby; maybe someone gave her food."

"Heh~~~"

Li Xuewu let out a long breath, lay back in his chair, head tilted up, eyes closed, pinched his brow with his hand, and asked in a muffled voice: "Do you believe these words she said?"

Zhou Yao looked at Li Xuewu, then lowered her head and said: "She has an alibi; although she caused harm to Fu Linfang, it wasn't a crime directly constituted by her."

"I know."

Li Xuewu said softly: "If it were a crime directly committed by her, the Security Section would have arrested her long ago."

"What I want to ask is,"

Li Xuewu raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Yao, and said: "What has she been doing these days, who has she been with, why did she hide and not come back? Doesn't she know what this means?"

"Yes."

Zhou Yao raised her head and said: "When I accompanied her to take a bath, I also discovered that she had many bruises on her body, some old, some new."

Li Xuewu sat up straight, tapped the case file with a pencil, and said: "You must pay attention, there are two people in this case you haven't come into contact with yet."

"I know."

Zhou Yao explained: "I just accompanied Huang Shiwen to the Personnel Division to make a record, and sent her back home; judging from her parents' agitated emotions, she hadn't gone home after the incident happened."

"Also, my colleagues in the section are still tracking Wang Jingzhang's whereabouts; I plan to take people to Fang Lining's hometown this afternoon."

"Hmm, go, drive."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "This case can be considered a typical one among the casualty cases last month."

"You also know that our division is carrying out source-tracing crackdown investigation work on these cases."

Li Xuewu pointed at Zhou Yao with the pencil and said: "Wang Jingzhang in your case counts as a key figure, and Fang Lining is a person who knows about many cases."

"Handling cases requires timeliness, but also seeking truth from facts, bold analysis, and careful verification."

Li Xuewu found a copy of "Criminal Psychology" from the drawer and handed it to Zhou Yao, saying: "A gift for you."

"Thank you, Division Chief!"

Zhou Yao accepted the book very seriously, then said with a smile: "Actually, I already went to the bookstore and bought a copy, but I'll accept this one as a gift."

Li Xuewu smiled, stood up, and said: "Pay attention to team cooperation, listen more, think more, learn more."

"Yes!"

Zhou Yao gave Li Xuewu a salute, then left with a smile.

Sha Qizhi sent Zhou Yao back, smiled and said to Li Xuewu: "You even called the Steel Institute's teacher; if they knew you were training the institute's top talent as security personnel, would they complain about you?"

"That would have to be blamed on Division Chief Xu."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Who told him to assign people to the Security Division? I actually wanted students from the Public Security University, the key is he couldn't get them."

"Don't think about these good things~"

Sha Qizhi said with a smile: "Hearing from people at the branch, there are many monks but little gruel; they can't even get two a year there, and us?"

"Hey! That's not necessarily true!"

Li Xuewu pointed at him with a smile and said: "Just finished contacting Huaqing and the Steel Institute, this time I must catch a big net and thoroughly solve the problem of our factory not having enough university students."

"Division Chief...!"

After hearing Li Xuewu's words, Sha Qizhi reminded him with worry: "University students... now... you must be cautious, our factory has just calmed down."

"What are you afraid of!"

Li Xuewu drooped his eyelids and smiled: "At home, they have parents to spoil them, at school, they have teachers to spoil them, once they get here!"

As he spoke, he took the gun from his waist, slapped it onto the table, and said: "If they are dragons, they must coil for me; if they are tigers, they must lie down for me!"

"Once people get to us, you can absolutely rest assured."

Li Xuewu smiled and took the visiting Li Congyun and others to tour the Steel Rolling Mill's large canteen and dormitory buildings.

Sha Qizhi followed behind, looking at the leader's warm smile, and remembering what the leader said just after starting work in the afternoon, he only felt that the earlier human traffickers should have been like this.

What is this!

Little did he know that some school leaders in later generations were not actively selling students under the name of internships?

Those with conscience, of course, let students handle their own cards to receive internship wages; those without conscience scrape a layer off themselves; those worse than pigs and dogs even send students to bath centers for internships, and damn it, they even arrange massage services!

Such people have truly lived their lives like dogs; even Confucius, who spoke of being a teacher, would want to jump out and pinch them to death.

Of course, Li Xuewu couldn't arrange for Huaqing's teachers and students to do massage services, although their school name was the same as the most famous bathhouse in Jingcheng.

But they were a proper university, not a bathhouse technician training school.

Although a few art students with quality not even as good as bathhouse workers appeared in later generations, the flaws didn't obscure the virtues; Huaqing was still the highlight of this era.

Li Congyun didn't come alone; Wu Youqing and Jing Rong accompanied him. Coming out of the large canteen, they got into the refurbished Willys, and the group walked toward the Joint Enterprise side.

In the car, Li Congyun patted the Willys he was sitting in, and asked with slight disdain on his face: "Just producing this thing?"

"That's still better than the things your school produced!"

Li Xuewu retorted without yielding: "No matter what, we are going to build a factory; have those things you designed hit the road?"

"Hiss~~~"

Li Congyun glared at Li Xuewu and said: "That's engineering research, can it be the same as yours!"

"Also!"

Li Congyun asked Li Xuewu again: "Is this how you talk to your uncle?"

"Sorry, there are no fathers and sons in the marketplace, no brothers in the casino~"

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said: "You can scold me, but you can't disdain our products."

"This is sentiment!"

Looking at Li Congyun's expression as if he had been fucked by a dog, Li Xuewu pretended to explain seriously: "You have to understand, this is the heart of an industrial person, the dream of a large factory with over ten thousand people, this is..."

"Isn't this plagiarism of yours~"

"Plagiarism of yours~"

"Of yours~"

"Also~"

Li Congyun ruthlessly tore through Li Xuewu's passion: "You damn high school graduate, now you're also studying Marx, where did this industrial sentiment come from?!"

"Alright~"

Li Xuewu turned his head to look at Li Congyun and confessed: "You scold me, I can still live; you scold our products, if they can't be sold, you won't be able to live."

"Hey! You could have just said that earlier!"

Li Congyun was also in a good mood, patted Li Xuewu on the shoulder and said: "It's fine, borrowing and learning, it doesn't count as anything; imitation runs through the entire history of human development."

Seeing him speak so well, Li Xuewu said with a smile: "I can really learn a lot of knowledge being with you."

Han Jiankun and Sha Qizhi, who were driving in front, couldn't help but want to laugh; the leaders in the back were speaking too interestingly.

The factory area was large, and the afternoon time was limited; Li Xuewu couldn't take them walking around the courtyard.

So he used the Security Division's official vehicle, two Willys, doorless and breathable, very cool, feeling like a sightseeing car.

Li Congyun seemed to have come to the Steel Rolling Mill to relax, especially after hearing Li Xuewu's preliminary introduction, and seeing the arrangements for their living environment first, he could better appreciate his nephew's intentions.

The two cars arrived at the Steel Rolling Mill Engine R&D Center—which was a laboratory converted from an idle warehouse.

The environment and conditions inside were very average, mainly because Li Xuewu was tight on money in the early stages; although he threw countless money in, it was all used on materials and experimental R&D.

Xia Zhongquan didn't dare to spend Li Xuewu's money recklessly; spending other people's money recklessly meant paying money, spending Li Xuewu's money recklessly meant paying with one's life.

Knowing Li Xuewu was bringing people to visit, Xia Zhongquan took the time to come over and wait, also to show Li Xuewu the current research progress.

Upon seeing the group get out of the car, Xia Zhongquan took two engineers and actively greeted them.

Li Xuewu smiled and made a simple introduction for the group, then let Xia Zhongquan take everyone to start visiting this R&D—get rich—research and get rich center that Li Xuewu had high hopes for.

Li Congyun was still chatting idly with Li Xuewu in the car, but became serious once he entered the workshop.

This place might become another school location for their university, or rather, a primitive educational model of returning, preserving the seeds of scientific research and teaching, letting those who are willing to teach and willing to learn come here to continue carrying out work.

"The direction we are currently mainly attacking is the reverse industrial production of the Willys engine and gearbox..."

"Engine inline four-cylinder, 2.2 liters, gearbox is three-speed manual..."

"Why did you choose this little thing as the production direction?"

Li Congyun stood in front of a disassembled Willys jeep and asked Li Xuewu this question.

Li Xuewu tilted his head and asked back: "Otherwise?"

"There are many objects that can be learned from."

Li Congyun said: "Currently, the country lacks large engineering transport vehicles, lacks..."

"No~ not lacking."

Li Xuewu shook his head and said: "You might not know, the Sichuan Automobile Manufacturing Factory has already developed and started production of two models of heavy-duty trucks."

"One is the CQ261 type 6X6 heavy-duty off-road vehicle, 200 horsepower, off-road load 6 tons, towing 10 tons, road load 10 tons, towing 15 tons."

"One is the CQ261Q/25 type saddle tractor, 250 horsepower, road trailer driving load 40 tons."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "Heavy-duty engineering vehicles are no longer lacking domestically; the fire truck modification our factory is going to do is prepared to use these two types of chassis."

"Light trucks have the 17th Factory's Liberation and the Jingcheng Automobile Factory's 130."

"Sedans have Red Flag and Magic City..."

"But the jeep has the 212 already~"

Li Congyun looked at the Willys in front of him again, shook his head and said: "Your own car is a 212; you should know that this car is already outdated, much smaller than the 212."

After finishing, he said quite proudly: "Our teachers and students also participated in the design of the 212."

Li Xuewu pursed his lips, not feeling there was anything to be proud of; gathering the nation's strength to run a school, having unique school-running history and talent advantages, it was normal for the students cultivated to be involved in all walks of life, wasn't it?

"Small doesn't mean not excellent; what's outdated is the thought, what's eternal is the classic."

Li Xuewu reached out and patted this old car, explaining: "The direction we are researching now is big and comprehensive, the more people pulled the better, the greater the horsepower the better."

"But in my view, it's not the same thing~"

Gesturing to the car in front of him, Li Xuewu explained: "First of all, it only has ten less horsepower than the 212, but it runs as fast as the 212, and pulls as many people, still sitting four; why waste fuel with such high horsepower?"

"The design of the 212 has political and other factor requirements, but our factory doesn't need to care about this."

Li Xuewu looked at Li Congyun and said: "Lightweight, fuel-efficient, convenient, easy to use, durable; these are enough."

After finishing, he pointed to the radio and other things being tested in the car and said: "We pay more attention to the auxiliary value of the vehicle, such as listening to the radio while driving, such as heating during the vehicle's driving process, such as seat comfort, and sound insulation effects, etc."

Taking the blueprint handed over by the engineer, Li Xuewu pointed to the effect analysis diagram and explained: "Calling it plagiarism is not as good as calling it an upgrade."

"Because of the changes in usage scenarios, the body structure, chassis materials, electromechanical systems, etc., we are all prepared to upgrade."

"For example, the body structure."

Li Xuewu chose another place to introduce and said: "Our factory's steelmaking enterprise has developed alloy steel, making the overall body strength lightweight by 40% without changing the original standards."

"Even if we designed an integrated body and added more functional components, the body weight and fuel consumption won't change."

"Instead, it has been greatly improved in terms of high strength, high toughness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, low-temperature resistance, and high-temperature resistance, especially in terms of driving comfort, the feeling will be very obvious."

"Hmm, it indeed has unique features."

Li Congyun nodded and said: "It seems you are very familiar with the design ideas of this car."

Hearing the Vice President say this, Xia Zhongquan, who was standing on the side, said with a smile: "Vice Division Chief Li is our chief designer."

"Is that so~!"

Li Congyun had just learned that this Division Chief Xia was the person in charge of the Technical Division, and also a top student who graduated from Huaqing, but that was a long time ago.

Li Xuewu accepted Li Congyun's surprise completely; after all, the blueprints were drawn by him!

No matter what, this car was also drawn by Li Xuewu!

The leaders stood in front and engaged in commercial mutual boasting, while the technical personnel stood in the back and chatted idly.

"No wonder he tried so hard to make us draw effect diagrams, and also had to draw cross-section diagrams and technical sample diagrams."

"It turns out this was specifically for leaders who don't understand technology to look at!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Hearing the two arranging the leaders, the engineer of the Technical Section glared at the two and said: "Who said leaders don't understand technology? Does Division Chief Li not understand?!"

The person before smiled and said: "What else is there to say about Division Chief Li~ calling him a genius designer wouldn't be an exaggeration~"

Seeing him tease Li Xuewu, the engineer smiled and hit him, saying: "He is looking at problems from the height of overall leadership, expressing opinions from the perspective of users and sales; what do you know!"

"Hiss~ Senior Engineer, I found that you are also not pure like the Division Chief!"

This person grinned with a face full of regret and said: "Look at the Division Chief's appearance, and he even said Division Chief Li is the chief designer~~"

"Exactly~"

The person who spoke just now helped out: "The world is going downhill~ the upright Division Chief bent his waist~ the pure Senior Engineer revealed a smile~"

The engineer smiled and glared at the two, saying: "You know shit; if the Division Chief hadn't bent his waist, could you earn subsidies? Could you have money to marry that little girl from the Finance Division!"

"Now you're all high and mighty~"

Senior Engineer smiled and said a few words to them, then gestured to the group of people talking with blueprints over there and said: "Our Division Chief is polite to Division Chief Li because he brought money; we have to draw however he wants us to draw, and Division Chief Li still has to take what you drew to cheat..."

"No! He has to go explain to other leaders how to build cars and how to spend money!"

The engineer pointed at the two and reminded: "Don't talk nonsense when you go out; you know in your own hearts how the Division Chief treats us, and you also know how Division Chief Li treats us."

As he spoke, he specifically pointed at the kid who had just gotten married and said: "Your wife was given by Division Chief Li!"

That young technician also teased: "If that's how it's calculated, he must be my father-in-law!"

"You're thinking beautifully!"

"This is our factory's Director Li, and also the Vice Factory Director in charge."

Li Xuewu's introduction was very skillful; first, he introduced Li Huai's Management Committee status, then introduced his office status.

When introducing his office status, he specifically added the word "in charge," and it was unclear whether it was Li Xuewu's supervising leader or the factory's supervising Vice Factory Director.

Li Huai received Li Congyun's group in the small conference room of the guesthouse, with Jing Yunong, Xia Zhongquan of the Technical Division, and Li Xuewu accompanying.

Because of Li Xuewu's advance notice, this side had already been set up in the style of a reception, and the attendants had already prepared tea and fruit plates before they entered the door.

"This is our factory's Vice Factory Director Jing, in charge of finance and personnel, as well as the Joint Enterprise project work."

Following Li Xuewu's introduction, the three main leaders shook hands with each other and politely took their seats.

Having already introduced them before, knowing this was the Vice President of Huaqing, Li Xuewu had already told both sides about the situation.

Li Xuewu first took Li Congyun to see the site, just to give Huaqing enough confidence, and also to lay the foundation for this talk.

The Steel Rolling Mill urgently needed design talent, not only was the automobile factory lacking, but other industries and projects also lacked professional technical talent.

Huaqing University urgently needed to settle those teachers and students who were under threat, as well as those experimental instruments that urgently needed to be preserved.

In the past, it was all the school transporting talent to the factory; catching a time when the old Russians came to support, they even messed up half, and the rest all relied on these engineers raised by the factory to grow wildly.

If the relationship between school and factory wasn't affiliated, or managed within the same system like the Steel Institute, there were very few direct collaborations.

This time was truly a rare opportunity, letting two units that were unlikely to cooperate walk together.

Cooperation between Security Divisions couldn't serve as a solid bridge; that was only cooperation on security, and if they really wanted to carry out technical cooperation, it would inevitably be a big project.

For example, those teachers and students in the atomic energy major...

This was impossible; they could move the research institute over, but Li Xuewu absolutely couldn't stand playing with those things.

Both sides were interested in cooperation, so it was much easier to talk.

Several engineers from the Technical Division took turns, using the prepared mobile blackboard to simply introduce to Li Congyun's visiting group the projects currently being carried out by the Steel Rolling Mill, as well as the various positions and directions urgently needing talent support.

After listening to the explanation carefully prepared by the Steel Rolling Mill, Li Congyun expressed praise for the Steel Rolling Mill's multi-directional development of progressive industry, and also expressed congratulations for the development achievements already obtained by the Steel Rolling Mill.

Steel Rolling Mill Management Committee Director Li Huai spoke: Those who eat the fruit think of the tree, those who drink the water think of the source; the continuous progress and development of the Steel Rolling Mill cannot be separated from the technical and talent support of various colleges and universities.

In the development history of the Steel Rolling Mill, excellent workers represented by Comrade Xia Zhongquan have continuously emerged, working hard and struggling continuously for the construction of the Steel Rolling Mill.

The Steel Rolling Mill stands in the basic industrial industry, has a relatively systematic and complete production and processing system, and focuses on a broader light and heavy mixed industrial manufacturing industry.

In the changes of the era, it establishes corporate culture with the thought of serving the people; whatever the people need, the Steel Rolling Mill produces.

The ocean accepts hundreds of rivers, and it is great because it is tolerant; in the process of progress, the Steel Rolling Mill needs to continuously absorb the strengths of hundreds of families, and eagerly hopes to obtain support and help from more friends.

It also welcomes ambitious teachers and students from Huaqing University to join the development process of the Steel Rolling Mill, to progress, improve, and learn together, and create brilliant achievements belonging to both the Steel Rolling Mill and Huaqing University.

Comrade Li Huai's speech received unanimous praise from the group from Huaqing University.

Huaqing University Vice President Li Congyun stated that the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is a star in the heavy industry of North China, a cornerstone in the national key industrial development, and a pillar in the steel industry.

Being able to not forget the original intention on the basis of existing honors and achievements, striving for comprehensive development, and creating broader value is in itself a great determination and great perseverance that is very rare.

The relationship between colleges and factories is like a big tree and water; water nourishes the big tree, the big tree protects the water, and it also proves the importance of water.

Mutual benefit and mutual assistance are in themselves the relationship between schools and factories.

Huaqing University is currently in the choice of era changes; as experiencers of the era, we are more willing to be ascetics, willing to contribute our strength to the factory and the cause of change.

Huaqing University and the Steel Rolling Mill already have relatively rich cooperation experience, and I believe that the cooperation in the next steps will be smooth sailing.

At the business negotiation meeting, Vice Factory Director Jing Yunong, as the person in charge of personnel and finance of the Steel Rolling Mill, and also the supervising leader of the research institute jointly established by Huaqing University and the Steel Rolling Mill in the future, made a statement regarding future development and cooperation.

Starting from the perspective of common development and win-win cooperation, both sides will carry out professional breakthroughs and rectifications regarding the Steel Rolling Mill's existing technical difficulties and industrial production improvements in the next steps.

And they will carry out broader cooperation and development in other fields, including but not limited to semiconductors, long-distance automatic control, fuel turbines, the automotive industry, radio, etc.

As the main body of development, the Steel Rolling Mill will strive to guarantee the operation and development of the research institute, and provide safe and perfect living guarantees for scientific research and technical personnel.

The meeting was undoubtedly successful; it could be seen from the sincerity and intentions shown by the representatives of both sides that everyone had confidence and a foundation for cooperation for the first meeting, and held a positive and affirmative attitude toward the subsequent cooperation and research.

Li Xuewu accompanied Jing Yunong to send Li Congyun and others to the car to leave.

Standing at the entrance of the guesthouse, Jing Yunong looked at the departing car and smiled slightly, saying to Li Xuewu: "I really don't know where you found so many connections."

"Those who follow the Dao have many helpers?"

Li Xuewu turned his head to look at the Vice Factory Director and also smiled slightly, saying: "Maybe men who are kind-hearted and have a good face have better luck."

Kind-hearted?

Jing Yunong was a bit speechless as she sized up Li Xuewu, nodded and said: "You are quite kind-hearted."

"Honk~ honk~ honk~"

Just as Li Xuewu entered the courtyard, Li Shu stood by the low fence in the courtyard and gestured toward Li Xuewu.

This wasn't calling him; Li Xuewu clearly saw his daughter gesturing a shooting motion at him.

"Where did you learn this?"

Li Xuewu squatted in front of his daughter with amusement, letting his daughter gesture an execution for him.

The old lady smiled and glanced at the father and daughter, explaining: "Her mother's unit organized a welfare movie viewing; because it was close, Jingru and I carried her and went, and she learned it there."

Li Shu was still gesturing and playing shooting with him, but only saw him take out a real one from his waist.

"Ah!"

She was quite smart, recognizing that the people on the canvas also held the same thing as him.

Li Shu didn't care whose it was, stretched out her little hand toward her father, and her overbearing attitude clearly told Li Xuewu: if you don't give it to me, I'll cry!

Seeing Li Xuewu playing for real, the old lady hurriedly scared her: "You can't let her play with this, it's too dangerous."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "It's fine, I've unloaded the bullets."

As he spoke, he took out the magazine, checked the bullets in the gun, fired a shot toward the vegetable garden, and only then gave the gun in his hand to the little devil king Li Shu, who had been anxious for a long time.

Where could Li Shu's little hand hold such a big gun? She just hugged it in her arms after taking it from him, playing with it like a new toy.

Li Xuewu smiled and hugged her, kissed her hard; perhaps because she got something to play with, she didn't mind him kissing her anymore.

After entering the room, Li Shu saw her mother sitting on the sofa reading a book, and began to babble.

Gu Ning raised her head and looked at the father and daughter, especially Li Shu holding the pistol, and said with a smile: "She's been like this ever since we came back from the movie, gesturing at whoever she catches."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "My daughter has my hot blood and style from back then; she'll definitely be a good soldier in the future."

Gu Ning pursed her lips; ever since she became pregnant, her personality had changed a lot, even more than after she got together with Li Xuewu.

Maybe this is a mother's instinct, which makes people become kind and gentle, and even emotional.

The books she read before, now that she picked them up again, were a new understanding and perspective; she truly liked the study Li Xuewu prepared for her upstairs.

In this era, at this point in time, collecting books was also a difficulty, or even an original sin.

But Li Xuewu gave her full protection; she could read whatever she liked, and the study upstairs was the safe house for her thoughts.

He even found some foreign language materials or novels from other places for her, which was an incredible thing at this time.

She liked Li Xuewu, liked him caring for her, liked him loving her, loving Li Shu, loving all her family members.

Her previous self-protection consciousness was gradually disintegrating in front of the strong confidence Li Xuewu gave her, often revealing a gentle, shy, and life-loving side.

Li Xuewu also felt that Gu Ning had more feminine charm, or rather, was more like a normal wife.

"Pa! Pa!"

Seeing Qin Jingru walk out of the dining room, Li Shu stood by the coffee table, holding the pistol and gesturing, her little mouth babbling with effort.

Qin Jingru pretended to be fierce and said: "You dare to scare your aunt? Forgot who took you to see the pa-pa-pa? You stand still!"

Seeing her coming over, Li Shu ran back, wanting to find her father, but the pistol in her arms was too heavy, and she lost her balance in her anxiety.

Well, she fell directly onto the carpet, person and gun together.

Qin Jingru was startled, but before she could run over to hug her, Li Shu climbed up by herself.

"Eh~!"

Her little finger pointed at the pistol on the ground, signaling Qin Jingru to look; Qin Jingru was with her every day, how could she not know her little tricks.

This was saying: Look! Chase me! Tease me! Drop the toy! If it's broken, it's all your fault!

"You little bad egg!"

Qin Jingru secretly glanced at Li Xuewu and Gu Ning, seeing they didn't pay much attention to this, she teased Li Shu to go wash her hands.

Li Xuewu and Gu Ning weren't unconcerned about Li Shu, but it was inevitable for children to fall while walking; as long as there was no injury, it didn't count as a matter.

Even if they took care of Li Shu themselves, they couldn't guarantee the child wouldn't have such situations.

What's more, Qin Jingru was truly good to Li Shu, following the old lady to take care of her every day, washing and cleaning; Li Xuewu and Gu Ning weren't the kind of harsh people.

This family was very wealthy and had conditions, but they weren't landlords; the children in the family weren't princesses or young masters, they were just a part of this family.

Watching Qin Jingru take Li Shu to wash her hands, Li Xuewu stood up, picked up the gun, packed it away, and tucked it back into his waist.

This child Li Shu was going to become a spirit; she would even find scapegoats when she made mistakes, doing things with a hundred tricks in her mind; who did she learn it from? No one in their own family was like this. ===== CHAPTER 798 =====
