Chapter 801: Selling Art

"What is this called?"

Li Xuewu sneered: "Shouldn't it be called hugging Buddha's feet at the last minute?"

Sha Qizhi's face showed mockery: "Station Chief Shan is also one who can calculate. When 'Wang Hongqi' went to the broadcasting station before, he was fawning over him, very conscientious."

"This time 'Zhang Dongfeng' went. If he doesn't fawn over him, wouldn't he be following in Wang Hongqi's footsteps?"

Li Xuewu really didn't care for these witty remarks circulating in the office. What kind of nicknames are these?

"If your stance is not firm, that's a problem. Can treating someone to dinner and a meal solve it?"

"You don't know about this~"

Sha Qizhi was good at talking: "You don't even look at who he is treating. Director Li's right-hand man, the instructor of the Worker Correction Team and Propaganda Team, and the Office Director of the Steel Mill Management Committee."

This was said ironically, jokingly expressing the other impression the lower-level cadres had of Zhang Guoqi.

Wei Zaike and the others had the ability and seniority to despise Zhang Guoqi's character, but the lower-level cadres didn't.

Depending on Director Zhang's momentum now, it was too late to fawn over him. Just a station chief of the broadcasting station, would Shan Nanqi dare not listen?

Of course, Zhang Guoqi accepting Shan Nanqi's treat was not without a target; there is no such thing as a free lunch.

First, the factory leaders had already communicated, and it was determined that Xu Sinian was going to take over the burden of the Yingcheng Shipyard.

And the candidate to take over as the Factory Office Director was first set as Zhang Guoqi, the Office Director of the Management Committee. This was pushed by Li Huai De.

Others also understood Li Huai De's intention. After all, the momentum of the Management Committee gradually replacing the Factory Office meeting was very obvious. He wanted to intervene in the factory's administrative management business; how could he let go of the Factory Office?

Cheng Kaiyuan disagreed. Zhang Guoqi holding two office director positions at once made him very passive, so he proposed Ao Yuhua, the Deputy Director of the Factory Office, to take over at the meeting.

But Ao Yuhua had just been transferred from the Personnel Department to the Factory Office. It wouldn't be appropriate to adjust again. The principle set at the last personnel meeting was that cadres adjusted at the mid-year meeting would not be adjusted again.

So Cheng Kaiyuan wanted to oppose, but had no reasonable excuse. This matter was basically set in stone.

It was just waiting for Jing Yunong to complete the preparation work for the shipyard acquisition case, and Xu Sinian would officially take the transfer order and follow Jing Yunong to receive the shipyard.

That was when Zhang Guoqi's personnel order for Factory Office Director would come down.

Don't say that Li Xuewu asked Xu Sinian to learn to show weakness and learn to cry about grievances.

Regardless of whether going to the shipyard was half a level higher to deputy factory level, it was ultimately an external appointment and he was squeezed out.

If his relationship wasn't strong, he might have gone to other department-level departments, so he had a good result now entirely because of his old relationship foundation. He had every reason to be aggrieved that others squeezed him out.

Everyone knew who squeezed him out. Some scolded, some mocked, and naturally, some fawned.

The lower-level cadres didn't see it comprehensively, thinking Director Zhang snatched Director Xu's position, but didn't notice there was still a deputy factory-level position, so they "felt sorry" for Brother Zhang~

The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds.

Li Xuewu waited at the entrance of the office area for less than two minutes when Li Huai De walked out accompanied by Zhang Guoqi and others.

And on the side of the Party Committee building, Gu Weijie was also walking towards this side accompanied by several cadres from the Propaganda Department.

After the two came over, Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Both leaders are followers of the path, but I am alone, pitying myself."

"Hehehe~"

Li Huai De stood still, waited for Gu Weijie to come over, and smiled: "A big guy of 1.8 meters, telling me he is alone~ Hahaha~".

Watching Li Huai De laugh, Gu Weijie also smiled and looked at Li Xuewu, saying: "Director Li has a majestic figure and is talented and capable. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he can resist a thousand troops."

In the office, a dangerous situation often faced is meeting two leaders at the same time. You must greet them, but you can't hide.

Regardless of the status of the two, you cannot neglect either one. Even the order of greeting and the order of answering the greeting will affect the impression you leave in their hearts.

Li Xuewu was now in the most awkward position. Leaders from both directions were coming towards him. He greeted both leaders in one sentence, and the two leaders replied to his greeting one after another.

How to take care of both while continuing to reply?

"It's still the two leaders who have unique vision, knowing that my only strength is that I am long~"

"Hahahaha~"

Li Huai De laughed loudly and patted Li Xuewu's arm, then raised his hand to gesture for Gu Weijie, ladies first, and invited her to walk first.

Gu Weijie naturally wouldn't walk in front of Li Huai De, let alone the current bizarre situation of the steel mill, there was no need for the two to compete for high or low.

Li Huai De walked in the middle, with Gu Weijie on his left and Li Xuewu on his right. The three talked very casually as they walked towards the broadcasting station.

Behind them were Zhang Guoqi and a group of people following. They were three steps away from the leaders in front, and they couldn't hear what the leaders in front were saying. This was the embodiment of status.

Zhang Guoqi looked at Li Xuewu, who was walking with the leaders in front, his eyes almost turning red.

Calling it accompanying, it was actually a bit short of status, but Li Xuewu was enough to walk in front.

Regardless of whether the occasion was formal or not, and not talking about the relationship between Li Xuewu and Li Huai De and Gu Weijie, just based on Li Xuewu's own status.

A Deputy Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, although still a deputy department-level cadre, had raised Li Xuewu's status to a certain height.

The key was that Li Huai De needed Li Xuewu to walk with him and communicate with him, and he, Zhang Guoqi, didn't have this status and ability.

Two people sit together at a table. If he has studied longer than you and has better grades, you will definitely not be jealous of him.

But if he has studied for a shorter time than you, is even more playful than you, yet has better grades than you, will you not be jealous?

Zhang Guoqi got the emergency method from Li Xuewu and had already reported it to Director Li.

Director Li instructed that this work is of vital importance, fully handed over to him to handle, and it must be expedited to complete the purchase and renovation tasks as soon as possible.

This matter was a trouble from the beginning. He couldn't handle it, and it would definitely make the leader look down on him.

But he wanted to handle it but didn't have the ability. Hearing Li Xuewu's method, how could he let Li Xuewu get there first, so he crashed into Li Xuewu's idea first.

And then such trouble appeared again, and he was also exhausted in his heart, so he could only take one step at a time.

But don't say, the trick Li Xuewu gave him was really quite damaging.

You don't even need to doubt it. Just by turning it in his heart, he knew it could be used and was easy to use. It was just... damaging, very damaging!

However, he wouldn't say this trick was taught to him by Li Xuewu. How embarrassing would that be? He would just take it as his own cleverness.

Seeing that they were arriving at the small courtyard of the broadcasting station, Zhang Guoqi made a gesture to Shan Nanqi and others standing at the door, reminding them to pay attention.

Shan Nanqi had long seen them. Seeing Director Zhang give a gesture, he smiled and greeted them.

"Hello, Director Li, Deputy Secretary Gu, Deputy Secretary Li."

"Let's go, look at your broadcasting station first."

Li Huai De was diligent in his work and didn't intend to have more pleasantries with Shan Nanqi; he didn't care for this person himself.

It was Old Ding before who was considered capable, this one?

A few days ago, Wang Jingzhang had borrowed the broadcasting station to read his little essays, targeting him.

If Li Xuewu hadn't protected him and named Zhang Guoqi, asking him to act as soon as possible, he would probably be in danger too.

Doing things is like this: early stage paving and propaganda, or big newspapers, or report letters, then follow up with propaganda to create a fait accompli, and then it's time to drag people out to speak for themselves.

Wang Jingzhang had played this set to death, and Li Huai De knew what he was going to do as soon as he stuck his butt out.

Otherwise, could he have called Li Xuewu to protect him after work?

Old Li is very cautious!

Wang Jingzhang ran away, but the tree fell and the monkeys scattered. Li Huai De didn't look favorably upon Shan Nanqi, this wall-grass.

However, Zhang Guoqi said a lot of good things for him and expressed some intentions on his behalf, which was considered not having erupted.

But it's not that simple to say Li Huai De accepted him. You have to do the work first and show an attitude.

Otherwise, how could she call Li Xuewu to protect her after work?

Looking at Shan Nanqi's bitter face, his eyes glancing at himself from time to time, Zhang Guoqi felt a sense of hatred for iron not becoming steel.

He now felt about Shan Nanqi the way Li Huai De felt about him... huh? Why would he have this cognition!

But meeting a fool is indeed exhausting. You think that just because you sent something, the leader must smile at you?

What do you take the leader for!

Glaring at Shan Nanqi, Zhang Guoqi walked two steps quickly, arrived behind Li Huai De's side, and whispered: "Please ask the comrades of the broadcasting station to introduce the basic situation."

"Good."

Li Huai De just nodded, then continued to talk to Li Xuewu and Gu Weijie about the radio station.

Shan Nanqi didn't know how to take the opportunity Zhang Guoqi threw to him and followed behind the leader, anxious.

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, pulled Shan Nanqi, and pushed him to the side front.

This made Li Huai De and Gu Weijie see him, and they also stopped the topic just now.

Seeing that the leaders stopped talking, Shan Nanqi didn't have time to thank Deputy Secretary Li, and smiled to introduce the basic situation of the broadcasting station to everyone.

"Leader, the broadcasting station has two sets of broadcasting equipment, one set of wired broadcasting equipment and one set of wireless broadcasting equipment, all of which are currently in use."

Shan Nanqi guided everyone into the broadcasting building while introducing: "Wired broadcasting is mainly applied to factory information notification, work propaganda, literary reporting, and news broadcasting, etc."

"Its working method mainly relies on wired speakers covering the whole factory, broadcasting information at fixed times and points."

"Please walk this way."

Shan Nanqi invited several main leaders to look at several offices on the first floor and introduced the functions and effects of some equipment.

Then he took everyone upstairs, turned around the office, and introduced the basic situation of the broadcasting station staff.

"There are 18 staff members in the whole station, divided into editing and broadcasting group, machine repair group, and line group. The editing and broadcasting group is divided into three positions: interviewing, editing, and broadcasting."

Shan Nanqi took Li Huai De and Gu Weijie to look at the broadcasting duty room and introduced the broadcaster on duty.

"This is our excellent broadcaster, Yu Haitang."

"Hello, leaders, welcome to the broadcasting station to inspect the work."

Yu Haitang was upstairs and had long seen the leaders coming to the broadcasting station. According to Station Chief Shan's requirements, the indoor hygiene was very good, and the floor of the duty room was even sprinkled with clear water.

At this moment, under Shan Nanqi's introduction, she was a standard tall girl, and the voice she answered with was youthful and spirited, which made Li Huai De's smile increase a lot.

"Good, good, good."

Li Huai De smiled and waved his hand, asking: "What song is playing today?"

"It's 'We Walk on the Great Road', leader."

Yu Haitang smiled, answered appropriately, and the voice was mainly very pleasant.

Broadcasters are all like this; the voice when they are serious is different from daily speaking.

As far as Li Xuewu knows, Yu Haitang's voice is a bit rough, which might be a dark injury from broadcasting for a long time.

But at this moment, when answering Li Huai De's question, Yu Haitang's voice was much more pleasant.

Li Huai De was obviously very fond of this, stood in the room and asked a few questions about the broadcasting console.

Others were watching and listening, letting Li Huai De and Yu Haitang talk.

Shan Nanqi didn't appreciate Yu Haitang very much, but his own sedan chair must be carried by himself. Yu Haitang is a person of the broadcasting station. When the leader comes, even if he doesn't like her, he has to praise her.

Unexpectedly, Yu Haitang was quite appreciated by Director Li, which made Shan Nanqi feel as uncomfortable as eating fly shit.

"Should play more songs like this to enrich the entertainment life of factory workers."

Li Huai De asked a few questions, then said to Gu Weijie and Li Xuewu.

Gu Weijie nodded without speaking, and Li Xuewu echoed: "It would be even better if workers were allowed to request songs."

As he spoke, he looked at Shan Nanqi and suggested: "Arrange more people to walk into the front-line workshops, listen to the hearts of the masses, choose positive content according to the leader's requirements, and at the same time take into account the interests and hobbies that the masses love to see and hear."

"Yes!"

Shan Nanqi answered seriously: "I will arrange for people to visit the workshops later and listen to more suggestions."

"Hmm, this method is good."

Li Huai De pointed at Shan Nanqi and said to Li Xuewu: "Propaganda work is not leading an ox by the nose; this won't go far. We must follow the situation, respond to the call, and encourage and guide the masses to develop positive interests and hobbies."

"Director Li always has some novel ideas, but can win by surprise."

Gu Weijie smiled and said, then looked at Shan Nanqi: "Communicate more with the Propaganda Department. It is easier to do work through the propaganda groups of each workshop."

"Yes, I will definitely handle it according to the leader's instructions."

Shan Nanqi agreed hurriedly. This was work exhorted by three leaders together, and it must be his top priority.

Li Xuewu looked at Li Huai De and suggested with a smile: "The literary and art teams of each workshop should be more active, select some excellent communication members with good writing skills, write about the stories of reform in the workshop, and talk about the masses' inner thoughts on reform, which will be more moving and intimate."

"Look, there are always more ways than difficulties~"

Li Huai De smiled and said to everyone: "Gathering wisdom and gathering fur, everyone's thoughts gathered together, and the propaganda work has been pushed forward a big step."

"It's still your suggestion that is good."

Zhang Guoqi squeezed in at this time and smiled: "On-site office meeting, look at the site, raise questions, say answers, next I will be responsible for coordinating this work, and I will definitely do the propaganda work well."

"Good."

Li Huai De was snatched by Zhang Guoqi to take the task, smiled and didn't care about this, and took everyone out of the duty room and went to the big office.

Except for the initial performance, Yu Haitang was a background board for the rest of the time. She looked enviously at the three leaders standing and talking in the duty room. Everyone was talking around them, and they couldn't even squeeze into the door.

Especially Li Xuewu, young, tall, and with an eye-catching bearing, made Yu Haitang's eyes nailed to him.

Director Li is certainly powerful, but after all, this is an "old man" in his forties. Even if she likes progress, she has a bottom line now.

With Li Xuewu there, how could she think of Li Huai De?

Also, don't look at Director Li talking to her politely, as if he appreciates her very much, but this is an inspection.

She understands the leader's temper very well. He talks to you nicely now, but it won't take long. In three days, if you see him privately, he won't even ignore you.

So what appreciation~ politeness~ are all flowers in the mirror, moon in the water, very empty.

She can actively perform in front of Director Li, but the ultimate goal is to let Li Xuewu see the highlights on her, even if it's just a little interest.

She doesn't want him to marry her, why can't he look down on her!

She is sure that Li Xuewu's eyes fell on her, but it was different from Director Li's. It was not very enthusiastic, just like looking at an ordinary employee.

Even if Li Xuewu nodded to her when he left, this was not the result she wanted.

Is there no appreciation at all?

Is there no jealousy at all?

She has worked so hard, what does it mean for you to give her an encouraging look!

Aren't men all selfish? Where is the instinct for possession and snatching that you advocate?

Li Xuewu didn't know that Yu Haitang thought so much, and even less knew that her purpose was to attract his attention. He only felt that this girl was quite on the road and was a good seedling.

Of course, boys should also pay attention to protecting themselves outside. After all, danger is everywhere.

Fortunately, Lou Jie helped him at noon... No! He helped Lou Jie get a vaccination, so his resistance now is not generally strong.

After turning around the broadcasting station upstairs and downstairs, everyone walked out. Under the big tree outside the broadcasting station courtyard, Li Huai De looked back at the three-story building of the broadcasting station and said: "The place is enough."

"A mountain doesn't have to be high; it's famous if there's a fairy. Water doesn't have to be deep; it's spiritual if there's a dragon."

Li Xuewu smiled and looked at Gu Weijie and said: "Propaganda work still needs spirituality and necessary means."

Gu Weijie nodded and followed Li Huai De's gaze to look at the small building, pondering: "It's a good time to apply for a radio station now."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Li Huai De and said: "It's unrealistic to intervene in the national radio network, but it's no problem to cover the capital."

Li Huai De was also weighing in his heart. In fact, the project of establishing a radio station had been promoted by the Propaganda Department since last month, and Li Xuewu's efforts were also involved here.

Of course, he was not surprised that Li Xuewu advocated promoting this project, because the Security Section also had a wireless communication center on the mountain.

Now the main contact method for the trade project is this line, and his text contact with the border office is also communicated through this line.

Based on the wireless communication center, and then developing a wireless radio station, this is also a work idea.

He is still hesitating now, mainly because there are really quite a few projects launched recently. Even with Jing Yunong's support, the budget is not blown by the wind and can be used at will.

As for the good time Gu Weijie mentioned, he also understands. This is a small storm in a professional field.

The cause has to start from May 1962. At that time, there were really too many radio and television stations in the country, of uneven quality, and the management of propaganda work was chaotic.

In order to implement the adjustment opinions of the "adjustment, consolidation, enrichment, and improvement" eight-character policy of the Ninth Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee, the adjustment policy for the broadcasting system was proposed as "tightening the scale, reasonable layout, streamlining personnel, and improving quality."

In terms of wired broadcasting and broadcasting industry, it was adjusted from the original 2404 broadcasting stations to 2029, and the number of broadcasting speakers was reduced from 6.04 million to 5.48 million.

Most of the local broadcasting industries were abolished, leaving only the Beijing Broadcasting Equipment Manufacturing Factory and the Shanghai Record Factory.

This time the steel mill wants to run a wireless radio station, it must also place an order from the Beijing Broadcasting Equipment Factory.

In terms of wireless broadcasting, it was reduced from the original 135 local radio stations to 81, with 134 radio programs, and the total broadcasting time was also reduced by 40%.

This is also why there are few programs and short broadcasting times in the box sound.

There is also a special one, television stations. Why did Li Xuewu's little monster become a chicken rib even though it can watch TV?

During the adjustment in 1962, there were only five television stations left in the country, namely: Beijing, Shanghai, Yangcheng, Fengcheng, and Tianjin.

With the signal transmission capability at that time, it was good that local people could receive TV signals, let alone think about other local stations.

But it's better now. There are 12 television stations in the country, more than half of which only show movies on weekends.

So don't say that people in this era don't like watching TV because they can't afford TV sets, but because they don't like watching snowflakes.

Just having a TV set, no TV station, and no enough TV programs, just like you suddenly find that your favorite switch has dropped in price, but you are told that there is no game, or you can only play one game for a limited time, are you still willing to buy it?

Every industry is the same, content first, quality is king.

Obviously, Li Huai De also understands this truth. Even if a radio station is set up to cover the whole capital, what is the meaning? What is the core?

"The focus is still on propaganda."

Li Xuewu scratched his eyebrows and looked at Li Huai De and said: "The significance of a radio station is not how much profit it can create for the steel mill, nor can it be like a trade project to obtain returns quickly."

With Li Xuewu's opening, the eyes of Li Huai De and Gu Weijie both looked at Li Xuewu, and others were scattered around, but they were also listening carefully.

There are no small projects promoted by Li Xuewu, all of which can drive jobs and create benefits.

Don't look at Li Xuewu saying now that the radio station cannot obtain returns immediately, but this does not mean that Li Xuewu does not value it, or that the leader does not value it.

If Director Li didn't value it, he wouldn't have invited Gu Deputy Secretary, who is in charge of propaganda work, and Li Xuewu, the most trusted cadre, to see the situation on-site.

Everyone present, more or less, has some connection with propaganda work, which can be considered an opportunity. When selecting cadres later, it depends on how much they understand the significance of this work.

Progress is for those who are prepared, and opportunity always favors those who are serious.

Li Xuewu faced Li Huai De and Gu Weijie, the three stood in a triangular position, and the three happened to face the office building of the broadcasting station.

This made Shan Nanqi, who thought the inspection was over, break into a cold sweat. He thought the three leaders were studying whether to replace him, standing on the outermost periphery, not daring to breathe.

At this moment, he heard Li Xuewu continue: "In the second half of the year, or even for a long time in the future, the main work of the steel mill is to deepen the organization, reform, and construction of the university study activities, promote the steady improvement of industrial production, strengthen development and exploration in multiple angles and fields, and continue to promote the innovation and progress of trade projects and production relations."

"From the perspective of work promotion and development, the steel mill urgently needs a medium to display the construction achievements of university study activities, express the steel mill's determination and powerful strength for industrial progress, and highlight the steel mill's emphasis on talent and technological development."

"What is important is"

Li Xuewu gestured to the broadcasting station direction and said to Li Huai De and Gu Weijie: "We can harvest more trade objects and cooperation directions through the broadcasting network covering the whole city."

This is indeed something Li Huai De didn't consider. Seeing Li Xuewu finish speaking, he asked first: "So our broadcasting station should be internal and external, right?"

"Of course."

Li Xuewu looked at Li Huai De with burning eyes and said: "A gentleman is open and honest. The steel mill is the capital's steel mill and also an important part of the industrial system. If you have made work achievements, why can't you say it out?"

"Also"

After explaining to Li Huai De, Li Xuewu looked at Gu Weijie and said: "The reporting work of the phased construction achievements of university study activities is also a key point. There are so many factories in the capital. Whoever occupies the propaganda initiative is the brightest star."

"This is indeed true."

Gu Weijie looked at Li Huai De and explained: "The end of the year must be the time when the propaganda competition pressure of various enterprises and units is the greatest. The focus of this year's work must be university study activities, after all, it has the special nature of continuous development."

"Hmm."

Li Huai De frowned and responded, then looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "As for the trade project..."

"Advertising."

Li Xuewu faced Li Huai De's hesitation and answered directly: "It is not advertising in the traditional sense, but should start from the perspective of positive propaganda, such as introducing our factory's cars, fire trucks, various industrial products, etc."

Li Huai De narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously balancing and thinking in his heart, and said softly: "It is very necessary to have a radio station to promote products. This is beyond doubt."

After speaking, he looked at Shan Nanqi, who was standing on the periphery with his eyes rolling around, and beckoned to ask: "Station Chief Shan, what do you estimate the influence of wireless broadcasting on the families of steel mill workers can be?"

"This..."

Shan Nanqi didn't know how to answer. This question was a bit too general. How to judge influence?

"It's how high the listening efficiency is and how much acceptance there is."

Zhang Guoqi was not a stick; he knew Li Xuewu was promoting the construction of the radio station, so he took the initiative to give Shan Nanqi a chance to contact him.

Before the inspection, he had made up his homework, had some understanding of the radio station, and also got the direction he was concerned about from Li Huai De.

At this moment, he whispered a reminder to Shan Nanqi, don't let the leader have a too bad impression of him, otherwise he really didn't know how to protect him.

Shan Nanqi's face started sweating again. Li Huai De is a big leader who is out of reach for Yu Haitang, and also for him.

He was still several levels away from reporting work to Li Huai De, so he really felt a lot of pressure facing Li Huai De's questioning at this moment.

"It's hard to say specifically. After all, we don't have survey data on the ownership of radio sets in factory workers' families."

Shan Nanqi first buffered a sentence, and then emphasized: "But I think, factory workers and their families all rely on the factory for a living, and they must be very concerned about the existing work and situation of the steel mill..."

"Still that sentence."

Li Huai De didn't want to listen to him anymore, and said to Gu Weijie and the propaganda cadres behind her: "We must make programs, reflect value and effect, and have content and core."

While speaking, he pointed at Zhang Guoqi and said: "This work should be combined with the newspaper office work, together with the in-depth interviews with the masses just mentioned by Director Li, as well as the propaganda focus of the steel mill's work achievements and products."

"Must take into account."

Li Huai De raised his hand, signaled everyone to go back, and said as he walked: "The steel mill's budget is also limited. If you launch a radio station, you must show the attitude and determination to do this work well."

Hearing Li Huai De say this, Gu Weijie knew that he held a supportive attitude towards this project.

"Director Li, I will arrange for Comrade Qingfang to host this work, and I will let her report the progress to you at any time..."

"No, no~"

Li Huai De waved his hand, interrupting Gu Weijie's words, and said: "This is propaganda work, you are still responsible. I only emphasize project funds and final results, and the work still needs your hard work."

After speaking, he pointed to Li Xuewu, who was walking aside, and said to Gu Weijie with a smile: "Tell the comrades in the Propaganda Department to ask for more suggestions and opinions from Director Li. His attitude towards this work is still relatively positive."

"Yes, this matter itself also needs the support of the Security Section and Director Li."

Gu Weijie smiled, looked at Li Xuewu walking aside, and said: "In some issues' handling methods and views, I really admire Director Li's unique vision and thinking."

"This is nothing."

Li Xuewu smiled modestly: "Just like what Director Li said, one person's plan is short, ten people's plan is long. I am just looking at problems from the perspective of an outsider."

"Hey! This is very rare!"

Li Huai De smiled and pointed at Li Xuewu, gesturing to the Steel Mill Workers' Club in front and said: "Sometimes looking at problems and work requires the thinking and angle of an outsider."

"For example, transferring the art troupe to do propaganda, stones from other hills can polish the jade of this one. This step you took is especially correct!"

"Hahaha~"

"Wrong! This step is standing on tiptoe!"

"Good! Control the rhythm!"

"Pay attention to expression, good, do it again, remember the emotion now!"

The art troupe was transferred to the steel mill and renamed the Steel Mill Workers' Literary and Art Propaganda Team more than a month ago.

They first accepted a week of military training to emphasize management discipline, and then began to resume training and rehearsals.

Because of the influence of university study activities, many previous programs could no longer be performed, which meant they had to be cut.

And during the training period, they received tasks from the Propaganda Department, which was to help the literary and art propaganda team members of each workshop and unit train.

Some of these people knew some literature and art, and some were just hobbies, which made them very embarrassed.

But the cadres of the Propaganda Department also said that this is a political task and is a front-line personnel who must complete the propaganda of university study activities. They must treat it seriously.

So it caused most of their time last month to be used for training, and the training recovery was very slow.

Fortunately, entering September, the training work ended, and most of the propaganda team could enter the state, and the Propaganda Department came with tasks again.

This time the preparation time is nearly a month, and the goal is the Mid-Autumn Festival party at the end of September.

This Mid-Autumn party is the first formal literary and art performance since the university study activities were carried out, and it is also a stage to show the excellent performance and propaganda ability of the literary and art propaganda work team.

The steel mill raising so many people is definitely not to be used as a canary, but to achieve propaganda goals.

What is the propaganda theme this time? It is "The Steel Mill in Reform," and all declared literary and art programs must also be closely tied to the theme.

What to do?

The programs rehearsed before were basically scrapped. Even if there were any, they were "The Railway Bureau in Reform." Is it possible to change the core content and hang it up?

Of course not. Not to mention that the Propaganda Department doesn't allow it, even they themselves don't want to compromise like this for the first reporting performance.

Transferred from the railway to the steel mill, in the past month, the mentality of everyone in the art team has been changing.

The environment has changed, the workplace has changed, the leaders have changed, and the work requirements have changed.

Everything is changing, and they have to change even if they don't want to.

Compared with before, the steel mill has more people, a larger factory area, a more complex organizational structure, and a broader space for development.

Before, their space for progress was limited to the art troupe of the road bureau. This time, arriving at the steel mill, they know that the progress of propaganda work can go up a step further.

With hope, there is the drive to work; with expectation, there is the goal to strive for.

When the dance teacher said they could take a break, Zhou Miaomiao collapsed her shoulders, tired like a broken-line puppet, walked to the wall, leaned against the mirror and sat down.

Han Lu handed her a water bottle, took a sip of water herself, and sat down next to Zhou Miaomiao.

Zhou Miaomiao took a sip of water, then closed her eyes, leaned her head against the mirror, leaving a trace of sweat.

"You are too desperate, is it necessary?"

Han Lu was also very tired, straightened her legs and tapped the muscles on her thighs lightly.

They only wore red short sleeves, black shorts, and gray dance socks when training for the dance team.

Even with such cool clothing, in the cool breeze of September, they were still sweating and soaking their whole clothes during training.

Feeling the sweat beads sliding down her face, Zhou Miaomiao asked softly with her eyes closed: "Did you forget the punishment we are carrying?"

Han Lu's hand paused, turned to look at Zhou Miaomiao and asked: "Isn't the unit changed? Does this follow?"

"Don't know."

Zhou Miaomiao tried to shorten the conversation to give herself more energy to rest.

But Han Lu's question was still her heart disease, a heart disease that tormented her from winter to summer.

The time when the skating accident happened, if it wasn't for the troupe having an important literary performance, they might have really been retired.

Although the troupe didn't fire them afterwards, it also gave them a big disciplinary punishment. Zhou Miaomiao herself pulled the curtain for a long time.

When hearing that they were transferred from the railway to the steel mill, some people were stunned, but she was relieved.

Although there would be their mistake records in the file, the troupe leaders were all changed, and the impression of them would inevitably be re-established.

But who would have thought that things would be unpredictable? Wang Yajuan became the troupe leader, and she really had the urge to hit the wall.

It's been more than a month, she has gotten used to the life of the steel mill, and she has also seen the development prospects of the steel mill, but this makes her even more worried about Wang Yajuan's revenge.

Since that incident, no one dared to provoke Wang Yajuan, but no one talked to her either. In fact, Wang Yajuan was isolated.

Wang Yajuan's temperament changed a lot after she came back. Except for rehearsing programs with them, there was basically no communication.

Looking back now, they are not as smart as Wang Yajuan, holding onto a big thick thigh and not letting go, having everything.

Han Lu looked at Wang Yajuan who was pressing her legs and said softly: "It's just selling 'art,' she is really powerful, started selling since high school."

"Don't be mouthy."

Zhou Miaomiao frowned and reminded: "Do you want to make it difficult for yourself?"

Although she said so, she couldn't help but open her eyes, narrowed them slightly, and swept her gaze towards that figure.

They were all there when Wang Yajuan met Li Xuewu by chance. They knew what happened between them without asking.

Especially the last time at the skating rink, Li Xuewu pulled a gun for Wang Yajuan and arranged for a relationship to help Wang Yajuan settle those juniors. How deep must this relationship be.

Afterwards, they were whispering about what benefits Wang Yajuan gave Li Xuewu that made it worth helping her so much.

Women's whispering wouldn't be in their hearts, but would form rumors. They wished the whole troupe knew.

This time it's even more so. The troupe is in crisis, everyone is facing unemployment. To solve Wang Yajuan's work problem, Li Xuewu even moved the whole art troupe to the steel mill.

Is Wang Yajuan's attraction to Li Xuewu really that big?! ===== CHAPTER 802 =====

They were both present during the few times Wang Yajuan ran into Li Xuewu; there was no need to ask what was going on between the two of them.

Especially last time at the skating rink, when Li Xuewu drew a gun for Wang Yajuan and arranged connections to settle those young punks for her—that must be a very deep relationship.

Afterward, they all whispered to themselves about what kind of benefits Wang Yajuan could have possibly given Li Xuewu to make him think she was worth helping like that.

Women's whispers don't stay in their hearts; they turn into rumors, and they were itching for the whole troupe to know.

This time it's even more so: the troupe is facing a crisis, everyone is facing unemployment, and to solve Wang Yajuan's employment problem, Li Xuewu even moved the entire cultural troupe to the steel mill.

Is Wang Yajuan really that attractive to Li Xuewu?!
