Chapter 805: Recruitment

~36 min read 7,154 words

Dong Dong Mengyuan was naturally happy to be a guest at his aunt's house, and he was eager to let his mother pack his clothes and toothbrush.

Of course, seeing his mother's expression, he very sensibly stuffed his homework into his schoolbag.

"Listen to your aunt when you get to her house, don't make trouble, you know?"

"I know, Mom!"

Dong Dong Mengyuan was very afraid that his mother wouldn't let him go. Carrying his small schoolbag and his clothes, he ran to the car first.

Han Shu sent Li Li Xuewu and Gu Ning out, stood at the door and said to Gu Ning: "He knows how to do everything. You don't need to take care of him in life; just keep an eye on his studies."

Gu Ning nodded and said: "I know, Sister."

Li Li Xuewu stood aside without speaking. Han Shu's calmness and composure made him feel helpless and unworthy for Dong Wenxue.

Just by looking at Han Shu's reaction, he could tell that this matter was probably something Dong Wenxue still thought he had hidden from everyone.

And from the calm arrangement of letting them take the child home, and asking him to arrange the train to Steel City, it showed that she had been prepared for a long time.

It was for Dong Wenxue, and it was for this matter. She was just waiting for the Steel City matter to break out, so that Li Li Xuewu would come to beg her to solve this landmine.

Don't say that women with children are ruthless; women with children and high psychological quality are even more ruthless.

You like red sleeves adding fragrance, you like youthful romance, fine, whatever you want.

As long as you don't have an accident and don't bring danger home, it's all up to you.

But if an accident happens, divorce is impossible. You can only bow your head, and this bow will be for a lifetime, so you won't have the heart to touch flowers and grass again.

Divorce is the most incompetent way to handle it, and it is also a manifestation of her admitting defeat. She has the courage to let the man go, and the ability to take back that heart.

Hysteria is also impossible. Li Li Xuewu could guess Han Shu's actions when she went to Steel City this time. It would definitely be Dong Wenxue feeling guilty and turning over a new leaf.

Before, he could perceive that Dong Wenxue was somewhat dependent on Han Shu, but Han Shu knew men's minds very well and gave way to Dong Wenxue everywhere.

This time, it was a reveal of the dagger, killing without seeing blood.

As for Wang Wang Shumin's threat, Li Li Xuewu didn't even think about it. Could a woman who could think of using a report letter to threaten others beat Han Shu at this level?

Wishful thinking.

The biggest threat of a report letter is when you can write it but haven't written it, just like when a missile is on the launch pad, it is the most dangerous time.

Would Han Shu let her marriage break up and her family scatter for an unrelated woman?

Would she let the other party destroy the pillar of the family she had cultivated with one hand?

If Dong Wenxue wanted to leave, that was possible. She wouldn't mind breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats, cutting off the wrist to survive.

But today Li Li Xuewu came, and Gu Ning, the daughter of Dong Wenxue's godfather, came. The young couple came to plead, which was already an attitude. Today, no one else would work; only Li Li Xuewu and Gu Ning coming would work. Dong Wenxue also knew this, so Han Shu was so decisive.

Everyone is an adult, and it's unfilial to need parents and elders to worry, especially in this kind of thing, which is a rift between husband and wife.

Saying that it made Li Li Xuewu embarrassed was exactly what it meant.

From beginning to end, maybe only Li Li Xuewu bore everything, running around, and still had to be this guarantor.

Sending Gu Ning into the car, Li Li Xuewu looked at Han Shu before getting into the car. Maybe she was the one who hurt the most now.

The stronger the appearance, the more fragile the heart. The other side of strength is called pain.

After arriving home, the old lady had already coaxed Li Shu to sleep, and Qin Qin Huairu was tidying up the toys thrown by the big demon king on the sofa and the floor.

Seeing Li Li Xuewu bring a child back, Qin Qin Huairu even teased, saying that this big fat face was comparable to Bang Geng's.

Li Li Xuewu let her take Dong Dong Mengyuan upstairs to settle down, while he took the toy box and crawled on the ground to find toys in the gaps of the sofa.

Gu Ning sat by the chair and asked softly: "Is Ning back?"

"Hmm... how should I put it..."

Li Li Xuewu hesitated and said: "It's about Teacher Dong."

After explaining the premise to Gu Ning, Li Li Xuewu said again: "You also know that he is shouldering the heavy burden in Steel City..."

Hearing Li Li Xuewu say this, Gu Ning closed the book in her hand and looked at Li Li Xuewu with a calm expression as he narrated the facts he had already processed.

Li Li Xuewu looked at her expression of "I already know everything" and smiled bitterly, saying: "It's a helpless matter. I shouldn't have gotten involved, but I really couldn't avoid it."

"He has another woman."

Gu Ning said her guess, or assertion, in a calm tone.

Li Li Xuewu nodded and said: "It's the service staff who takes care of him. I don't know the specific situation."

Gu Ning saw Li Li Xuewu eager to distance himself from the relationship, narrowed her eyes, and said: "Lies."

"Haha~"

Li Li Xuewu curled his lips and said: "I just saw her when I went to Steel City to handle a case. It was just a guess at the time; it's not good to intervene in this kind of thing."

Gu Ning ignored Li Li Xuewu's explanation. She knew that men protect men. As long as nothing happened, Li Li Xuewu would naturally protect his teacher.

Of course, Li Li Xuewu's teacher was also her big brother, and this relationship was messy enough.

Gu Ning didn't feel anything. In foreign novels, especially those from the Sun Never Sets and France, weren't there plenty of things messier than this?

As long as they are men, there will be the danger of this behavior. This is nature, regardless of the level of cultural quality.

What can catalyze this kind of thing is when men have more social resource allocation rights.

Li Li Xuewu had just explained it, and she had already guessed what would happen.

"Is that service staff pregnant?"

"Probably not."

Li Li Xuewu also became serious at this moment and said: "But she used this as a pretext to threaten Teacher Dong and even said she would report him."

After speaking, he spread his hands helplessly and said: "You also know what the situation is now. I can't ignore it."

"Especially."

Li Li Xuewu pursed his lips and said: "His situation is not good, and the pressure is very high. Seeing that I was unwilling to use extreme methods to handle this matter, he even lost his temper at me."

Gu Ning looked at Li Li Xuewu, held his hand, and expressed understanding and support.

Li Li Xuewu held Gu Ning's hand, looked into her eyes, and said: "Regardless of right or wrong, this matter needs him to reflect and examine himself."

"But he needs our help at this time."

"I know."

Gu Ning nodded, looked at Li Li Xuewu, and asked: "What do you want to do?"

"Tell Teacher Han."

Li Li Xuewu looked into Gu Ning's eyes and said very straightforwardly: "This matter must be told to Teacher Han, and only Teacher Han can come forward to properly solve the problem."

"That... service staff is really not pregnant?"

Gu Ning frowned slightly, looked at Li Li Xuewu, and asked: "Did you investigate?"

"It was Xu Ning, from the Steel City Security Department."

Li Li Xuewu explained frankly: "He went to check the unit of the test sheet, and the result given there was forgery."

Gu Ning nodded and said: "Then go and tell her, so as not to embarrass Sister Han Shu."

After speaking, she looked at Li Li Xuewu and said: "You did the right thing."

Li Li Xuewu pursed his lips, patted Gu Ning's hand, and said: "Family, we should help each other and understand each other. Let's go to Teacher Han's place after dinner."

"Good."

Gu Ning nodded, withdrew her hand, and said: "You go, I want to read. Call me when it's time to eat."

Li Li Xuewu kissed her, stood up, and went downstairs to make a phone call.

Waiting for footsteps to come from the stairs, Gu Ning then moved her sight away from the book.

Her gaze followed the sunset light toward the window. It was September, the third autumn. The trees hadn't put on autumn colors, and there was only the setting sun outside the window.

The light wheel changed, the shadow of time had no trace, ancient and modern in the four-nine city, looking west, the herdsman drove the calves back, and the hunting horse brought the birds home.

It is said that in other people's homes, don't boast in your mouth. It's the same bottom of the well, the same toad.

Gu Ning praised Li Li Xuewu for handling the "matter" well, but wasn't she also saying that he handled the "matter" well.

Saying that he left room for Sister Han Shu, wasn't it also asking for room from Li Li Xuewu.

Smart people are together, and everything is easy to talk about. She believes that Li Li Xuewu understands everything she said, and she also understands Li Li Xuewu's mind.

Li Li Xuewu had never embarrassed her, so she would never ask about Li Li Xuewu's affairs.

Today is Dong Wenxue, who will save him tomorrow?

Who says she is isolated and alternative, but perhaps she sees more clearly this way. Seeing her own big brother, whom she respected very much, could be like this, let alone him who is excellent.

Marriage was love before, and respect after marriage. Without respect, love is not love. Without the nourishment of love, respect also becomes hypocrisy.

Li Li Xuewu could have called Han Shu, or gone to Han Shu to reason alone.

Explaining clearly to herself, making it clear, and asking for her company, it seems to be an attitude given to Han Shu, but it is actually a promise given to her.

Is she so stupid that she can't see Qin Qin Huairu and Yu Li in the courtyard?

Otherwise, how did Qin Qin Jingru come to the house, and how did Yu Li make clothes for Li Shu?

Li Li Xuewu is not a book, nor is he a cake that needs her to fight for.

That is an unruly man, an lover who is fickle but opens his heart to her. It is that she doesn't want to live too shrewdly.

So everything is hers, including Li Li Xuewu's heart.

Is it really better to live like a big brother and sister-in-law?

Sometimes love is really not as magnificent as written in books, but some people are as complex and difficult to understand as written in books...

When receiving Li Li Xuewu's call, Han Shu was a bit surprised. Today is Friday, why do this young couple plan to come to the house?

Either they have something, or she has something here.

What could she have? If there is, it's Dong Wenxue who has something, or someone related to the young couple has something.

She said she would be at home and made an appointment on the phone to come over.

Han Shu put down the phone, thought for a while, heard her son shouting that he was hungry, and didn't care, got up to cook dinner.

When Li Li Xuewu's car arrived at the gate, the mother and son had just finished their meal.

Dong Dong Mengyuan heard his mother say that his big master would come, and he had already run out to open the door.

Thinking of his mother's instructions, he was also very clever and didn't make trouble with his big master, afraid of hitting Aunt Ning.

Li Li Xuewu smiled and rubbed his little junior brother's pot-lid head, and handed the vegetable basket in his hand to him.

"Why is it green vegetables~"

He thought his big master would bring something delicious, but he didn't expect it to be food, but not the kind he thought.

Li Li Xuewu pinched his big face and said: "If you get any fatter, you won't be able to walk out the door."

"Impossible!"

Dong Dong Mengyuan carried the vegetable basket and swayed to the door, and even gestured with his little fat hand at his stomach.

Han Shu came out of the kitchen and said to her son: "Why don't you let your master and aunt in."

Dong Dong Mengyuan ran into the kitchen carrying the vegetable basket, shouting: "Master said if I get fatter, our house will have to change the door!"

Han Shu ignored him, smiled and looked at Gu Ning, and said: "It doesn't look too big, it's easy to give birth."

Gu Ning smiled and didn't speak, following Li Li Xuewu into the living room.

Li Li Xuewu went to the tea cabinet to brew tea himself and brought it to the two who had already sat down.

"She said she was uncomfortable, the child is moving."

"It's just that he has to move~"

Han Shu smiled, took Gu Ning's hand and comforted her: "There's nothing now. It's more troublesome when it gets bigger, and you want to go to the bathroom."

Li Li Xuewu divided the teacups and sat on the sofa, listening to Han Shu telling Gu Ning about her experience with a smile.

Dong Dong Mengyuan walked to Li Li Xuewu's side and wanted to ask if there was anything else delicious, but Li Li Xuewu gave him a flick on the forehead with a smile.

He was used to being naughty, and he was about to make trouble with Li Li Xuewu with his teeth and claws, but was scolded by his mother again.

Looking at the wilted Dong Dong Mengyuan, Han Shu glanced at the study and said: "Played enough, ate enough, what should we do now?"

"I know... homework..."

Children in the world are all the same, difficult to choose between playing and homework, especially when there are guests at home.

"I'll go with you to see if your homework is done well."

Gu Ning stood up with a smile, touched Dong Dong Mengyuan's little head, and went to the study together listening to his excited boasting.

After she couldn't hear her son's chattering, Han Shu looked at Li Li Xuewu and asked: "Is there something? Why did you come here in the dark?"

The smile on Li Li Xuewu's face disappeared. He hesitated and told Han Shu everything he knew and had judged from beginning to end.

Han Shu was very calm, or rather very calm. Her emotions didn't fluctuate significantly until Li Li Xuewu finished speaking.

Li Li Xuewu looked at her and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid Teacher will go to the extreme, so I asked you to come forward to handle it."

"It's hard for you."

Han Shu moved her lips and then said: "He doesn't even have the determination to admit his mistake to me, so how could he have the courage to die."

After speaking, she looked at Li Li Xuewu, who had a stunned expression, and said frankly: "Entrust the child to you, help me arrange the train to Steel City tomorrow."

After finishing, he added with a bit of embarrassment: "After all, we are the vanguard for testing training standards and defining emergency responses. Only when we are excellent will there be more people buying our equipment."

"Hehe~"

Li Li Xuewu nodded with a chuckle. After finishing writing the document in his hand and closing it, he pulled the Fire Department's application in front of himself.

"Three fire trucks, three light fire command vehicles, and several other new types of equipment..."

While reading, he muttered to himself. Wherever he paused, Han Zhan would explain.

"The others are fine, but the light fire command vehicles are denied."

Just as Li Li Xuewu finished speaking, Han Zhan was about to argue for it again, but seeing Li Li Xuewu wave his hand, he stopped his words.

"It's not that I'm stingy with the money, but our factory's new vehicles are about to come out. There's no point in wanting this kind of command vehicle now."

Li Li Xuewu explained, then looked at Han Zhan and said: "If you want this kind of vehicle now, then don't even think about the new ones later. It's not the same as a fire truck; this doesn't need testing, right?"

"Then we'll take the new vehicles."

Han Zhan changed his application quite decisively and asked with a smile: "Then, Leader, when will our new vehicles come out?"

"You'll have to go ask Li Kezhang Xia about that."

Li Li Xuewu picked up his fountain pen and annotated the application section for the light fire command vehicles with a denial, then wrote his opinion below allowing the update of the other equipment, and finally signed it.

Han Zhan couldn't help but laugh as he listened to the Li Kezhang's words, teasing: "If you keep pressuring him like this, he might just jump into the Liangma River."

"Hahahaha~ He wouldn't dare!"

Li Li Xuewu laughed out loud and said: "He spent so much of my money and just wants to die to end it all? He wishes! Even as a ghost, he'd have to come back to preside over the work!"

Han Zhan took the application and said with a smile: "He was telling me just yesterday that you singled him out at the meeting, brought him students from Huaqing, and told Li Kezhang Li to recruit engineers from other car factories. He's under a lot of pressure now, and his hair is falling out in clumps."

"It's fine, he's already bald anyway."

Li Li Xuewu drank a sip of tea with a smile and said: "Once it's all fallen out, he'll be spared the trouble."

"You're still the best!"

Han Zhan said with a chuckle, went to the door to get the thermos, refilled Li Li Xuewu's teacup with hot water, and only then left with the application.

Applications always run the risk of being rejected. Generally, more complex or important documents are brought by the section chiefs themselves, or they only dare to submit them to Li Li Xuewu for review after clarifying things with Sha Sha Qizhi.

Li Li Xuewu rarely rejects applications brought by section chiefs, and they wouldn't dare to ask for money recklessly either.

Moving the teacup aside, Li Li Xuewu continued to process documents. Today is Saturday; once he finishes today, he won't have to deal with documents tomorrow.

Being busy is a certainty; the closer it gets to Sunday, the busier it gets.

And it's not just him who is busy; everyone is busy.

On Sunday, those with things to do at home are busy, and those without will come out to help the collective.

I don't know when it started, but the common people have begun to "involution."

Logically speaking, Sunday is a statutory rest day, and except for those on duty, no one needs to work.

However, now, as soon as Sunday arrives, you will find that there are more people doing voluntary labor on the streets—sweeping the main roads, scrubbing railings and stone pillars, helping to direct traffic, and even groups going to the production teams to feed the pigs.

Of course, the "involution" here has a different meaning than in later generations; this belongs to spiritual involution.

Everyone competes to study the Red Book, everyone competes to be a good youth, checking their own ideological situation step by step according to the clauses in the Red Book, and if there is anything wrong, they must self-examine.

People at this time are very strict with themselves, setting high standards, not being sloppy at all, and yearning for a bright path.

Some workshops in the factory do not operate on weekends, mostly for repairing machines and tools.

At this time, many workers doing voluntary labor will appear, and they will compete for heavy tasks, as only then can they embody their determination to study ideology.

Li Li Xuewu doesn't think they are stupid; he only thinks they are very cute, the most hardworking, simple, brave, and kind laborers under the background of the era.

Although he does not have the consciousness to go to the factory on Sundays to participate in voluntary labor, it does not hinder him from being a person useful to society.

At least a person useful to the Rolling Mill.

From the intensity of his work, one can tell how useful he is. Now, on his desk, there are not only documents from the Security Department but also documents related to the trade project, the Steel City project, the Yingcheng project, and the joint enterprise project.

This is not what Li Li Xuewu requested, but what Li Huai De requested; every time these projects hold an office meeting, they call Li Li Xuewu.

Those attending the meeting also understand that Li Li Xuewu is actually Li Huai De's business strategist.

To put it more bluntly, they can just communicate directly with Li Li Xuewu on business matters, and for the rest, Li Li Xuewu will annotate his opinions on the documents for Li Huai De to see.

This phenomenon has now been created: when these people submit documents to Li Huai De, they will first annotate "Forward to Deputy Secretary Li for review."

If it wasn't forwarded to Li Li Xuewu first, then your document can just wait; basically, what gets sent back is a "soul review."

Li Huai De is truly busy now and rarely annotates directly without looking at Li Li Xuewu's opinions.

With Li Li Xuewu helping with business matters, he is spared the worry; recently, he has been busy running around with Xiang Jingyu Nong regarding the joint unit.

Sha Sha Qizhi walked into the office and reminded: "Leader, the office meeting is in twenty minutes."

"Got it."

Li Li Xuewu replied, his head still buried in the documents; Sha Sha Qizhi will help him prepare the documents for the meeting.

The office meeting was arranged after Li Huai De and Xiang Jingyu Nong discussed it; it's the same group of people as last time, and the meeting agenda is basically the same content.

It is mainly to carry forward the spirit of the last meeting, combine it with the current project progress, and study the work arrangements for the next steps.

While helping Li Li Xuewu organize the documents needed for the meeting, Sha Sha Qizhi said: "The Discipline Inspection side sent a letter requesting assistance in the investigation, saying there is some content in some whistleblower letters that needs our help to verify."

"Hmm."

Li Li Xuewu responded; he is clear about this matter, as it was arranged by him. Sha Sha Qizhi's words were not about the work of the Discipline Inspection, but that his work was completed.

This work has been arranged for several days, and Sha Sha Qizhi has been gradually increasing the volume of whistleblower letters according to Li Li Xuewu's requirements, making it appear more natural and real.

Of course, one cannot dump a dozen letters all at once; that would look problematic at a glance. Gradual increases are more in line with the laws of facts.

This time, he wants to set up an ambush on all sides for Zhang Zhang Guoqi, so he doesn't fear that he can crawl out of the pit.

Sha Sha Qizhi also understands what the leader wants to do; after saying this, he didn't continue, but changed the topic: "I had people check; Chai Chai Yongshu didn't get into trouble, but is instead very carefree."

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed: "His neighbors all say Chai Chai Yongshu is very wealthy and often goes out to have fun; they all call him 'Third Master'."

"How did he get such a nickname?"

Li Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, threw the document in his hand aside, and picked up another one to continue reading.

Sha Sha Qizhi explained with a smile: "Because he has three hobbies, which can be summarized as the three 'zi's': eating at restaurants in the morning, playing dice in the afternoon, and visiting prostitutes at night."

"That's really something."

Li Li Xuewu chuckled and asked: "Do you know where his money comes from?"

"I don't know."

Sha Sha Qizhi was slightly startled; how would he dare to continue investigating? Isn't that just asking to make a mistake?

Besides, Li Li Xuewu only told him to find the other party, not to investigate the source of the money.

Li Li Xuewu must know where the money comes from, and he himself knows it too; it's better not to investigate.

Li Li Xuewu nodded and asked again: "His money isn't inexhaustible either. What will happen if he runs out of money?"

"He'll probably go crazy."

Sha Sha Qizhi said in a low voice: "It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but hard to go from extravagant to frugal."

After finishing, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "If I were used to this kind of life and suddenly couldn't continue enjoying it one day, I'd definitely go crazy."

"Psychological gap, huh~"

Li Li Xuewu nodded and didn't say anything more. When the meeting was about to start, he stood up, took the documents Sha Sha Qizhi handed him, and went out.

Sha Sha Qizhi shrugged his shoulders; he knows the leader's work habits very well—rarely will one task be handed over entirely to one person.

Since he is responsible for the investigation, then the specific execution will basically not be him.

As for who will execute it, that's hard to say; it could be others in the department, it could be unrelated outsiders, or even people with conflicts.

The leader is good at using people, especially in layout and planning; sometimes "enemies" are also people he can use.

Just like the missing Wang Wang Jingzhang—even though he's missing, he's still "helping" the leader, very dedicated and hardworking.

He is now the Deputy Director of the Comprehensive Office and also Li Li Xuewu's secretary, so he has contact with a lot of the Comprehensive Office's work.

And the Comprehensive Office has the widest scope of business in the entire Security Department, having to deal with all sections, which also allowed him to see the rhythm and context of the Security Department's operations more clearly.

Li Li Xuewu is intentionally cultivating him, giving him opportunities to train in both business and comprehensive abilities.

Sometimes when going to the Third Guard Regiment, he doesn't bring him along, just to give him more time to come into contact with the management of the sections.

There is no need to maintain interpersonal relationships; Li Li Xuewu is his greatest connection. As long as he diligently trains his own talents and business level, and lets Li Li Xuewu see his ability, that's enough.

Having been Li Li Xuewu's secretary for almost a year, his growth is visible, and with the increase in ability and experience, and the increase in the business managed by the leader, he himself knows that he is going to be sent out.

The position of secretary really has limitations; leaving too early makes it seem like one isn't valued, and leaving too late will delay one's own development.

So, following the right leader is as important as finding a famous teacher.

Li Li Xuewu is not a person who likes to be a teacher, and he dislikes pointing fingers at others even more.

But since he is sitting in this position, and it is forced by the situation, he can only do his best.

"The cooperation factories that have been negotiated now include the No. 3 Textile Factory; all textile machines have been re-calibrated and started."

Xiang Jingyu Nong sat at the side of the conference table making a work report: "The textile factory's technical workers are already in place, and the workers originally allocated by the Rolling Mill to the joint factory have also taken up their posts."

"The Marine Products Company and the Aquatic Products Company have completed preliminary negotiations; there will be no problems with raw material supply."

"The Leather Factory and the Chemical Plant have an appointment to meet and talk next week; the main concerns and sticking points are on profit sharing and personnel deployment."

Xiang Jingyu Nong looked at the document in her hand, then raised her head to look at Li Li Xuewu and said: "Finally, there is the Glass Factory; they agreed early, but have been unwilling to sign the cooperation agreement."

"This is a problem extended from the last office meeting."

Li Huai De rested his hands on the conference table, his gaze sweeping over everyone as he said: "Deputy Factory Director Jing has been very hardworking and is also very serious and responsible in her work; the achievements are also substantial."

"Now let's discuss the current cooperation situation and also set the work plan for next week's negotiations."

Li Huai De is the person presiding over the meeting; his summary remarks set the tone for today's meeting.

Because Li Li Xuewu does not like long-winded speeches, he now supports meetings that emphasize efficiency.

It's not that he has nothing to say, but his time is also very tight; office meetings should focus on business.

"The Marine Products Company and the Aquatic Products Company side are related to our Logistics Department."

Feng Feng Xingke took the initiative to volunteer: "Deputy Factory Director Jing has already negotiated the plan, so let the follow-up docking work be handed over to our Logistics Department."

"Good."

Li Huai De saw Xiang Jingyu Nong nod and affirmed: "The Aquatic Products Company is not as closely linked as the Marine Products Company cooperation; it's still about joint participation in the production of canned products, so the details of the cooperation must be controlled well."

"Understood, Leader."

Feng Feng Xingke himself is a business leader and also a young cadre, full of drive and determination.

One can tell from his proactive approach to Li Li Xuewu that he isn't thinking about retirement.

With Li Huai De, useless people don't live long; he has no choice but to work hard.

Taking the initiative to accept a task is always better than having it assigned; when the time comes, there will be no choice.

Seeing him work hard, Gou Gou Zirong also spoke up: "The Sales Department's main trade products are clothing and food, so we will be responsible for the follow-up coordination work of the textile factory."

Li Huai De nodded and looked at Li Li Xuewu, signaling to see if he had any arrangements or instructions.

Li Li Xuewu, however, looked at Xiang Jingyu Nong and asked: "Factory Director Jing, when are you setting off for the Yingcheng Shipbuilding side?"

"Next Monday."

After Xiang Jingyu Nong gave Li Li Xuewu her reply, she looked at Li Huai De and introduced: "The relevant investigation and preparation work is basically completed; I plan to lead the team to Yingcheng next Monday."

"In that case..."

Li Huai De also heard the meaning in Li Li Xuewu's words and said: "How should next week's negotiation work be arranged?"

"Please have Deputy Secretary Li take over."

Xiang Jingyu Nong took the initiative to say: "If I go to Yingcheng, it will take at least ten days to return; the negotiation work cannot be delayed."

Now the only person she can trust is Li Li Xuewu; although the two are not political allies, she believes Li Li Xuewu will not sabotage the work of the joint enterprise.

This is something Xiang Jingyu Nong is responsible for, but it is also something Li Li Xuewu pushed for single-handedly.

It is a tacit understanding that Xiang Jingyu Nong will allow Li Li Xuewu to arrange cadres and some personnel relationships in the joint enterprise.

This doesn't even need to be said; the cadre composition of the joint enterprise will definitely be a cake divided among four people: Li Huai De, Xiang Jingyu Nong, Li Li Xuewu, and Gu Gu Weijie.

Li Li Xuewu handed the Yingcheng Shipbuilding project to her to host, and she is also reciprocating, fully trusting Li Li Xuewu and handing the joint enterprise over to him.

The foundation of cooperation is formed this way: you give me a part of the benefits, I return a part to you, and when the time comes, you have me in you, and I have you in me.

Not all allies are like Dong Wenxue and Li Li Xuewu, or have the natural relationship like Gu Gu Weijie; such cases are too rare.

Basically, it's all about mutual benefit; when there is more mutual involvement, they become friends.

Li Huai De also trusts Li Li Xuewu very much; he glanced at him, and seeing that Li Li Xuewu had no obvious intention to refuse, he nodded and said: "Then that's how it will be; next week, Comrade Li Xuewu will be responsible for the negotiation work with the Chemical Plant and the Leather Factory."

"And the Glass Factory."

Xiang Jingyu Nong reminded: "Now that the packaging factory has started production, the workers and machines were provided by the Glass Factory."

"Forget about them."

Li Li Xuewu frowned and said: "After the meeting, make an appointment with the Chemical Plant and the Leather Factory to talk about cooperation next Monday; let's settle it quickly."

"At the same time, send invitations to other glass factories in the Dongcheng area; the cooperation projects include but are not limited to the content currently being cooperated on with the Glass Factory."

"This..."

Feeling Li Li Xuewu's overbearing and domineering attitude, Xiang Jingyu Nong said with some worry: "They still have the intention to cooperate; they just want to see if the products can stand firm."

"Whether they can stand firm is not for them to judge."

Li Li Xuewu frowned and said: "I'm afraid that because of the Glass Factory, the sincerity and willingness of other cooperation factories will be constrained."

"Then let's do it that way."

Li Huai De made the final decision: "It's not like we're running a huge factory; if we can cooperate, we do it; if we can't, we break it off. It's too dawdling."

Old Li has grown capable now; he is no longer the forbearing Old Li of the past, but the "hairy" Li Kezhang Li.

The Rolling Mill did not suffer much loss in this storm of great study; the economy and order have recovered quickly, especially the production industry, which is booming.

Starting three major projects is equivalent to the achievements of three large factories; this face is very solid when drinking with other unit heads.

Now he doesn't even look at small projects; he feels they are meaningless, unless they are at the same level as making guns, cars, and ships.

If that's the case, the only thing left that can pique Li Huai De's interest is building airplanes.

The Rolling Mill itself is a large factory; Li Huai De used to be a deputy factory director and could still be humble and polite, sitting and drinking with people from those small factories.

Now?

Not anymore; no time, busy~

His drinking parties are all full now, full every day; either in the city or at the guesthouse.

The achievements in business have also made his mentality float; Li Li Xuewu said we shouldn't spoil them anymore, so he has a bottom line in his heart regarding this matter.

Confirmed the look; he is a person who can show off.

Since Li Huai De has spoken, Xiang Jingyu Nong couldn't say anything more; since it was said that the project would be handed over to Li Li Xuewu, she could only listen to Li Li Xuewu.

However, she is not worried about not having the Glass Factory's cooperation; Li Li Xuewu's connections in the Dongcheng are much broader than hers.

Since Li Li Xuewu dares to say so, he must have confidence; after all, it was Li Li Xuewu who advocated for this project in the first place.

With the negotiation plan arranged, Li Li Xuewu tapped the table and asked: "Has the recruitment work already started?"

"Yes, Deputy Secretary Li."

This time, without waiting for Xiang Jingyu Nong to answer, Xie Xie Lan Zhi, the Deputy Director of the Personnel Department who attended the meeting, replied: "Internal recruitment already started on Wednesday."

Xie Xie Lan Zhi is "Big Sister Xie," the personnel cadre who brought Li Li Xuewu to report for duty, and also the wife of Ren Ren Xiaoyu, a classmate and good friend of Dong Wenxue.

The fate of the two can be said to be very wonderful, representing Li Li Xuewu's bumpy road and steady rise since coming to the Rolling Mill.

Now at the conference table, she is sitting near the end, while Li Li Xuewu is sitting next to Li Huai De, who is presiding over the work.

The difference in status is clear at a glance; this contrast is the result of Li Li Xuewu constantly helping her progress during his own advancement.

Xie Xie Lan Zhi's ability and qualifications were sufficient, but her background was enough to limit her development.

Now that the children are all grown up, she has more energy to develop her career, so she has progressed rapidly.

Holding the personnel documents prepared long ago, Xie Xie Lan Zhi reported to the three leaders: "According to the phased recruitment plan and the separate recruitment management training plan for high school graduates, the personnel recruitment work is being carried out in an orderly manner."

"The separate recruitment plan is recruited by each unit itself and reported to the Personnel Department for review and filing."

"The unified recruitment plan is hosted by the Personnel Department, first targeting all children of workers on the job who are of appropriate age and meet the recruitment conditions within the factory."

Speaking of this, Xie Xie Lan Zhi raised her head and looked toward the end of the conference table to explain: "Because it is recruitment by stages, by work location, by position, and by type of work, there is no limit on the number of workers' children."

Li Li Xuewu understands this explanation; what is not limited is how many people from one worker's family can be recruited into the factory, which was limited before.

Now, work positions are very difficult to arrange; one cannot just prioritize one family, and equal distribution is reasonable.

But this time, the scope of recruitment is wide and the indicators are many, fully meeting the requirements for recruiting workers' children.

Of course, such a large expansion of personnel has also been approved and reported.

The city's personnel department approved it very quickly; they wish the Rolling Mill would recruit ten thousand people, as this would also alleviate the employment pressure in the city.

The Rolling Mill certainly cannot recruit that many this time; the joint enterprise and the shipyard are in urgent need, and the first phase opened up two thousand work indicators, and the whole factory was boiling.

The workers certainly heard the news about the recruitment; the work content was already decided at the trade meeting held at the beginning of this week.

They just didn't expect the recruitment to come so quickly; the work was unfolded in just two or three days.

The Personnel Department organized ten registration points to satisfy the enthusiasm and excitement of the factory staff to sign up.

Two thousand indicators—this was something one wouldn't even dare to think about in previous years, not to mention that there are recruitment plans later on.

The recruitment of high school graduates separately was not as crowded as that side.

Because they are high school students, they belong to the cream of the crop in this era, and they are also the first choice for other factories to recruit.

However, the Rolling Mill has a large base of workers, and the number of children who are high school graduates is also large.

Thanks to the hopelessness of university this year, with no recruitment news even in September, these high school students all chose employment.

It was precisely because they caught up with this time point that the recruitment of trainees for several departments went very smoothly.

Xie Xie Lan Zhi's voice was also excited when reporting, unable to hide her joy at the huge breakthrough in personnel work.

Over the years, the employment problem of factory staff's children has become a huge burden, pressing on the shoulders of the Personnel Department; whoever is in charge of this household has a headache.

This time, it can be considered as solving a big problem; Li Huai De's stabilization of the damage caused by the Rolling Mill's great study also has the credit of this large personnel recruitment.

With the problem of children's meals solved, what else do they have to make trouble about? With graduates all working, the little brats have also decreased a lot.

Of course, these two thousand indicators are not the only employment indicators this time.

There are nearly three thousand employment indicators; the one thousand preset indicators are to be given to transferred and demobilized personnel, to workers' children who have made huge contributions to the Rolling Mill, and also to the temporary workers of the Rolling Mill.

Temporary workers are a big burden; the main personnel composition is workers' children recruited earlier, without formal positions, or apprentices in the apprenticeship stage.

Among these people, some have been working in the cleaning team for three years, with positions unable to be arranged, and apprentices have no positions to take over after completing their apprenticeship.

This time, the position arrangement must first prioritize these people with technical experience, and arrange the newly recruited people to apprentice positions.

Layer-by-layer progression ensures that talent cultivation does not break.
