Chapter 846: If you need to be cowardly, you must be cowardly

Li Li Xuewu heard from Big Brother's tone that he was satisfied with life here.

Could there really be study partners?

Originally, he thought about arranging for teachers and students from Huaqing to work and intern at the Rolling Mill. If Big Brother wanted to return to school and life, he would arrange for Big Brother to go to the Rolling Mill.

Now that he saw it, it was better to extinguish this thought.

Big Brother didn't want to go to the Rolling Mill, and Sister-in-law wasn't at ease either.

With such a character who is sober while everyone else is drunk, wouldn't he cause some trouble?

From the attitude of Sister-in-law when talking about Big Brother at home today, it could be seen that not only was Big Brother satisfied here, but Sister-in-law was also satisfied.

Hehe, Li Li Xuewu was really convinced by this couple.

If he hadn't personally sent Big Brother in, he would really suspect if Sister-in-law had someone else outside.

Taking the initiative to send her own man into prison, changing to another scene, everyone would have the same thought as Li Li Xuewu.

After asking clearly, he was relieved. Seeing Big Brother staring at him after speaking, he also knew it was time to say goodbye.

Big Brother's meaning was, the brotherly affection is over, shouldn't you go do what you need to do?!

What?

Do I have to provide your lunch too!

Li Li Xuewu smiled and signaled to the room next door, saying he was going to find Teacher Wu for something.

Big Brother really trusted this younger brother; there was no awkwardness at all about being alone in a room with a man and a woman.

And he didn't accompany him over to break this awkward situation.

Really capable! Truly my good Big Brother!

Li Li Xuewu sighed admiringly; Big Brother knew at a glance that he was a decent person!

He could only use this to comfort himself, otherwise, could he go back and beat Big Brother again!

"Director Li is here~"

Hearing Li Li Xuewu knock on the door, Wu Wu Shufang opened the door from inside. Seeing it was Li Li Xuewu, she greeted him very warmly.

"Came to see you; just came out of my Big Brother's room."

Big Brother didn't accompany him over, so Li Li Xuewu could only explain it like this.

He couldn't say he came just to find her!

Big Brother would be so awkward if he heard that!

Wu Wu Shufang was obviously familiar with Li Li Xuewen's personality and invited Li Li Xuewu into the room with a smile.

Li Li Xuewu didn't let her pour tea for him, saying he had already drunk some in Big Brother's room.

The two sat down. Li Li Xuewu looked at the furnishings in the room; they were very clean and orderly.

"Zhao Yafang is doing well, right?"

Wu Wu Shufang asked with a smile: "She said your wife's pregnancy is less than two months apart from hers; double happiness."

"She's also resting at home."

Li Li Xuewu nodded with a smile, simply talked about Sister-in-law's situation at home, and also asked about her life here.

Just like what Big Brother said, it was very good, very regular, and very healthy.

Big Brother was Huang Gan's god of wealth, and Wu Wu Shufang was Huang Gan's goddess of wealth.

The treatment given to Big Brother was no different from what was given to her; they were both being served.

The two talked for a while, and Wu Wu Shufang clearly saw that he had come for something, so she took the initiative to ask.

"Director Li, you have something, right?"

"Hmm, that's indeed the case."

Li Li Xuewu nodded and said with a smile: "I encountered a troublesome matter and wanted to ask for your opinion."

"You are too polite."

Wu Wu Shufang said with a smile: "If there's anything I can help with, just say it; I'm duty-bound."

"Then I will respectfully obey."

Li Li Xuewu smiled honestly and said: "Actually, I'm a bit embarrassed. This request is a bit rude, but if there's any offense, please forgive me."

He first put a patch on it before opening his mouth to Wu Wu Shufang: "I want to ask you to be my lover for a period of time."

"Ah???"

Hearing Li Li Xuewu say this, Wu Wu Shufang was stunned for a moment.

This kind of help can be asked for?!

She looked at Li Li Xuewu's past behavior and didn't think he was this kind of person, so how could he...

Yes, he was really polite, saying in advance that it was a bit rude and a bit offensive!

"But this..."

She just wanted to speak, but Li Li Xuewu waved his hand and explained: "Acting, I'm a decent person, not what you think!"

He also had the intention to test Wu Wu Shufang's temper and her acceptance of this matter.

If he had directly asked the other party to act, he wouldn't have achieved the effect of the conversation.

Li Li Xuewu explained his situation at the Rolling Mill with difficulty, as well as the cause he and several like-minded comrades were working on.

He tactfully expressed that in this special period, he had to use some special means to achieve the goal of continuous and stable development.

Wu Wu Shufang finally understood Li Li Xuewu's words.

"Pretending to be a couple?"

"More than that."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and pointed at her belly, saying: "It's best if it's 'mother is honored by the child'."

"Whoa! You this..."

Wu Wu Shufang shook her head in a daze and sighed: "It's really a good play!"

"That's why I'm begging you."

Li Li Xuewu said seriously: "You are a colleague of my Big Brother and Sister-in-law; I am at ease leaving this matter to you."

"At the same time, I was forced to have no other choice, so I came to tell you this."

He said with difficulty: "That side offers a garden villa at the first shot, and occupies the right time and place. If I don't follow this game, the next move will be difficult."

"You might have some understanding of me."

Li Li Xuewu spread his hands and said helplessly: "I just got married; where can I find such a... right~"

"I understand."

Wu Wu Shufang nodded understandingly and said: "You look just like Big Brother Li Xuewen, a decent and upright person."

"I also know that in this special period, it is very difficult to do things, and there are always villains in high positions playing with power."

She looked at Li Li Xuewu understandingly and said: "Since you found me, I will definitely give you an answer."

"But before that, I want to confirm with you first: in this relationship, or during this period, will I be in danger?"

"I guarantee I will protect your safety."

Li Li Xuewu said seriously: "Just like protecting my own family."

"Also, don't be nervous. What we are facing is just a political stage goal; don't think of it as the 'Shanghai Storm' of the past."

"Good."

Wu Wu Shufang also knew she was thinking too seriously. She thought of the spy movies of old Shanghai and thought it was like that.

"Then, can you tell me what I need to do?"

"Life, just normal life."

Li Li Xuewu knew she still had some stereotypical impressions, thinking he was doing some kind of investigation department activity.

"Our factory has a trade management center in Tianjin, and I am the person in charge of trade, so I will go there on business."

"That is to say..."

Wu Wu Shufang looked at Li Li Xuewu and asked: "During your business trip, you are going to live in that house, and the neighbor is someone he arranged, who will monitor you?"

"Can't use the word 'monitor'; it hasn't reached that level yet."

Li Li Xuewu kept correcting her cognition, hoping not to turn it into that kind of mission.

Wu Wu Shufang herself was a foreigner; if she really did something mysterious, it would bring fire to herself.

"The other party will definitely arrange for people to live there too; this is called mutual restraint, and it is also the basis of trust."

Li Li Xuewu paused and explained: "He might feel that I am not under control and have a background, so there is no other way to achieve mutual trust."

"It's nothing now, but he will definitely target me and guard against me in the future. Do you understand?"

"I can understand."

Wu Wu Shufang nodded and said: "I'm just going to live a normal life, a lover who has a child with you, arranged by you to live there, right?"

"Exactly!"

Li Li Xuewu said with a smile: "It's better not to think too complicatedly. You are an intellectual, with a scholarly air and demeanor; they won't easily test you."

"Also, there will definitely be social interactions over there. We just need to be natural when the time comes."

"Of course."

Li Li Xuewu spread his hands and said: "I will show you the proper care and attention; I will do this well."

After explaining, he emphasized: "You can also keep in touch with Hong Kong. In the future, trade between Tianjin and Hong Kong will open up, and information transmission will be much more convenient."

"That's good."

Wu Wu Shufang nodded and said: "I understand after your explanation. I'm not good at acting, but I have no problem being a woman."

She looked here and said to Li Li Xuewu: "You are someone who helped me, so it is right for me to help you."

"Hearing you mention the garden villa, the environment must be countless times better than here. I don't care, but I don't want the child to suffer."

"Beijing is not very friendly to me. I need your protection to survive here, but it's not a long-term solution."

Wu Wu Shufang said seriously: "If I can live in Tianjin without delaying contact with my husband, it will be good for the child's future over there."

As she said this, she stroked her belly and said: "Going to Tianjin means I don't have to give birth in prison."

"Don't worry, I will give you support in terms of living conditions and the child's upbringing."

Li Li Xuewu guaranteed seriously: "I have reported and communicated this matter with my wife and some leaders in the unit; it will not affect your reputation."

"I can write to Hong Kong, appoint a special person to explain, and when the child is older and conditions are ripe, I will arrange for you to go to sea for reunion."

"Good, I agree to this matter."

Wu Wu Shufang looked at Li Li Xuewu and smiled: "Being able to get such a good living environment and conditions, and ensuring the child's healthy growth, I should be the one thanking you for giving me this opportunity."

"You are too polite."

Li Li Xuewu bowed slightly and formally confirmed this cooperative relationship with the other party, aiming directly at Li Huai De.

He wrote down the basic situation of Tianjin and his own growth experience on paper in Wu Wu Shufang's room.

Of course, the appearance time he set for Wu Wu Shufang was when he came back and contacted her while going to Big Brother's unit.

He wrote the scenes he scheduled and the compiled emotional experience on paper so that Wu Wu Shufang could understand.

Of course, the two are lovers, and the experience is not complicated—just an impulse between young people.

Seeing that he was prepared, Wu Wu Shufang couldn't help but sigh in her heart: how bad must the environment outside be to force a young man to this extent.

Looking at the psychological sketch of the leader Li Li Xuewu wrote on the paper, as well as the judgment and interpretation of the environment, Wu Wu Shufang nodded, indicating she understood.

Li Li Xuewu chose Wu Wu Shufang because he valued her calmness and wisdom.

When he saved Big Brother, she dared to ask him for help and dared to follow him out, which showed her courage.

Being arranged to live here, helping him manage accounts, helping the prison create an electronic factory, and not actively asking about these things showed she had thoughts and could adapt.

And there was her identity, which was Li Li Xuewu's killer move to hook Li Huai De.

A foreign woman who accidentally got pregnant—in Li Huai De's view, Li Li Xuewu could show him too much.

It would inevitably lower Li Huai De's vigilance against him and deepen the basis for cooperation between the two.

Compared to killing Li Huai De, causing chaos in the Rolling Mill, and then having another round of competition and fighting.

Finally, having another bastard who doesn't get along with him disgust him, Li Li Xuewu would rather wrong himself than disgust others.

September 29th is Mid-Autumn Festival.

Monday, no holiday.

It's really not easy for people working in this era to have a holiday.

No seven-day May Day holiday, no Golden Week in October, and even less a happy New Year.

Mid-Autumn reunion day, official production time.

The radio broadcast in the morning said that the whole country is united to make changes, engage in production, and want to...

Li Li Xuewu actually didn't want a holiday, because a holiday is too tiring, even more tiring than going to work.

He started visiting relatives yesterday after coming out of the prison.

Early on, there was a focus on the three festivals and two birthdays, and now people's lives also pay attention to this.

If you don't visit relatives during the festival, it means you are arrogant and don't recognize your relatives.

Li Li Xuewu only needed to visit a few families personally, but he couldn't stop the long time he spent there.

Catching up with lunch, his godmother's family kept him for a meal, and in the afternoon, he went to visit relatives on Gu Ning's side.

His father-in-law's family wasn't in Beijing, and Gu Ning's body was inconvenient, so he could only come forward.

If the son-in-law didn't have this heart, people would talk about the father-in-law.

However, this son-in-law of his was still presentable, and every family looked at him highly.

Although the situation outside is not optimistic now, the interaction between relatives is still convenient.

Li Li Xuewu wouldn't say anything deep, just talked about the father-in-law's health and the mother-in-law's situation in the south.

When elders asked about Gu Ning, he used the doctor's advice as an excuse.

It wasn't that he was afraid of these relatives visiting, nor was he afraid of interacting with them.

It was just that Gu Ning didn't want to deal with these things; she had little interaction with these relatives, and it was awkward even sitting together.

It wasn't Gu Ning who was awkward; it was the relatives who were awkward.

So Li Li Xuewu took the initiative to sit in every family, so as not to let people pick faults and not to cause trouble for himself.

That's how people live; how can you throw away all your relatives and close your doors to live your own life.

That wouldn't make you the Monkey King jumping out of a stone crack!

As soon as Li Li Xuewu went to work, he was called to the Discipline Inspection Commission to handle appeal cases.

Note, it's an appeal.

When Li Li Xuewu entered the interrogation room, he felt that Zhang Zhang Guoqi at this moment was like a monkey.

Hair messy, face full of mud, sitting there hunched over, just like a big macaque.

Looking at his eyes again, they were swollen like rotten peaches. After seeing Li Li Xuewu enter the room, his big eyes were watery, closer than seeing his own father.

"Deputy Secretary Li, he requested to have you handle this case, and Secretary Xue agreed."

Old Wang reported the origin of the matter to Li Li Xuewu, not wanting to get involved in this matter.

A person detained by the Discipline Inspection Commission daring to appeal with a hunger strike as a condition, if not handled well, would be a big deal.

And Yang Shuji didn't listen to this, but Director Li had his secretary, Li Li Haiyang, come over to ask about the situation.

He really couldn't hold on anymore; Zhang Zhang Guoqi was poisoned once, and he received a disciplinary action.

If this guy dies here, wouldn't he have to pay with his life!

Zhang Zhang Guoqi is now a life of rotten fate, biting his mouth and not letting go; he knows that if he lets go, he will die faster.

And the secretary's side is constantly exerting pressure, completely in the posture of "let Zhang Zhang Guoqi die, just don't let me die."

Xue Xue Zhifu knows how to do things; he listened from the beginning, listening to whoever spoke, as long as someone spoke.

So the secretary requested, and he did it.

However, in the process of doing it, he still hinted that the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission gave a discount.

Without a discount, Zhang Zhang Guoqi would have died long ago; not letting him sleep, his heart and blood were all exhausted.

Xue Xue Zhifu, of course, wouldn't let Zhang Zhang Guoqi die in his hands; this wasn't carrying the thunder for Yang Shuji.

So very directly, he didn't intend to do it for real.

Old Wang received Secretary Xue's meaning and was already releasing water, but he couldn't stand Yang Shuji coming to the scene to "chat" with Zhang Zhang Guoqi.

In this fight between gods, Zhang Zhang Guoqi finally bore everything.

So he couldn't hold on anymore, and despite the pressure of increased disciplinary action, he had to appeal.

Li Li Xuewu guessed that he might have heard that Li Li Haiyang had been here and understood Li Huai De's meaning.

By this time, he hadn't confessed, nor had he died; he could be considered to have withstood the test and lived up to Li Huai De.

Although Li Huai De wouldn't use him again, he wouldn't really force him to die either.

He didn't die after such rounds of bombing, so Li Huai De couldn't help him either.

This old guy hadn't slept for several days, but his heart was still so full of schemes; he knew that the only person who could talk was Li Li Xuewu.

Whoever he points to, no one will act impartially, except for Li Li Xuewu, who cherishes his feathers and won't trip him up.

In the disputes between several parties, Zhang Zhang Guoqi also understood that although Li Li Xuewu seemed to stand on Li Huai De's side, he was actually standing on the side of relative justice.

In this quagmire, don't think about absolute justice; Li Li Xuewu is the only one in the Rolling Mill who can do this.

"Speak, you called me here, it's not to talk about brotherly affection, right?"

Li Li Xuewu looked at Zhang Zhang Guoqi, his mouth consistently sharp.

Zhang Zhang Guoqi saw that he didn't care and actually started crying loudly while covering his face.

This cry was truly earth-shattering, earth-shaking, and mountain-shaking.

A big man, hunched over there, covering his face and crying loudly, crying so much that Old Wang and the others couldn't bear to watch.

Killing someone is just a nod of the head!

Old Wang and the others understood in their hearts that Zhang Zhang Guoqi was stuck in a dead end, with wolves in front and tigers behind, with no way to live.

If you really want to point out his red name, dying is also painful.

But it's this kind of interrogation; Old Wang and the others are all wheel battles.

One person can't stand it after four hours of interrogation, let alone Zhang Zhang Guoqi, who doesn't sleep or rest.

Li Li Xuewu looked at Old Wang and asked with a frown: "Have you asked a doctor to see him?"

"Yes, the doctor from the factory hospital just left."

Old Wang scratched his head, also full of dandruff; he had also suffered these days.

"Said to rest in bed and not be tired."

"Then follow the doctor's orders; what's the use of finding me?"

Li Li Xuewu looked at Zhang Zhang Guoqi and said with some dissatisfaction: "My psychology is aimed at criminals, and it can't treat heart wounds; you found the wrong person."

"Wuwu~ don't tease your brother."

Zhang Zhang Guoqi endured the crying, wiped away his tears, and his eyes, which had just finished crying, were red and swollen.

Li Li Xuewu twitched his mouth when he saw it, saw the eye drops on the table, and signaled to drop a few drops quickly.

Old Wang walked over helplessly, and while giving Zhang Zhang Guoqi eye drops, said: "Old Zhang, you must be strong. Deputy Secretary Li is here; say whatever you want to say, don't make trouble for me!"

They had been fighting fiercely for so many days, and Old Wang and Zhang Zhang Guoqi knew each other before, so there was no airs in their speech.

This made Zhang Zhang Guoqi close his eyes, rest, and stabilize his emotions before speaking.

Zhang Zhang Guoqi took a few breaths and said: "I regret it..."

"Get! ~"

Li Li Xuewu pointed at him and said: "If you want to say this, you have to tell Old Wang; I don't have the right to listen to this."

Zhang Zhang Guoqi's words were interrupted by Li Li Xuewu, choking his throat.

Opening his eyes to look at Li Li Xuewu again, he said: "I want to appeal. I have already truthfully confessed my problems; they can no longer continue to treat me inhumanely!"

"Hmm, be specific."

Li Li Xuewu lit a cigarette for himself and raised his hand to signal Zhang Zhang Guoqi to continue.

Zhang Zhang Guoqi looked at Old Wang, his words stumbling, not knowing how to say it.

"Just say it directly."

Old Wang nodded and said: "I'm the one who interrogated you; the inhumane one is me, right?"

After speaking, he signaled to the outside of the door and said: "If you are embarrassed to say it while I'm here, I'll avoid it."

He wasn't afraid of this; interrogating Zhang Zhang Guoqi was an order from the secretary. If Zhang Zhang Guoqi accused him, he could also go to the secretary to argue.

So he didn't care whether Zhang Zhang Guoqi was talking about him or not.

Seeing Old Wang say this, Zhang Zhang Guoqi gritted his teeth and said: "I don't blame you, but I can only say you."

He nodded and said: "I accuse everyone who interrogated me, as well as the person in charge who ordered non-stop interrogation!"

Zhang Zhang Guoqi looked at Li Li Xuewu and said seriously: "I accuse Yang Yang Yuansong; he comes to talk to me every day, inducing me to frame and attack Director Li."

"Anything else?"

Li Li Xuewu listened to his appeal very calmly. He couldn't make the decision on this matter either, just pass it on layer by layer.

Zhang Zhang Guoqi pointed out his name, and Xue Xue Zhifu nodded in agreement, so he could only take this pot.

Of course, taking the pot doesn't mean carrying the pot; this matter has nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Zhang Zhang Guoqi had nothing else to say, repeating these two things, Li Li Xuewu signaled Old Wang to get paper and pen for the other party, letting Zhang Zhang Guoqi write these into materials.

Zhang Zhang Guoqi knew that Li Li Xuewu was doing things officially, and he was relieved. At least he didn't have to keep his eyes open and not sleep for the time being.

He excitedly wrote down the crimes he suffered and the difficulties he endured into several materials, the kind with words dripping with blood.

Li Li Xuewu read it once, didn't say anything, just asked him to sign his name on every piece of paper and press his fingerprints.

When pressing fingerprints, Li Li Xuewu specifically requested him to press them on the seam.

The more formal Li Li Xuewu was, and the stricter the requirements, the more relieved Zhang Zhang Guoqi was.

After everything was done, Li Li Xuewu instructed Old Wang and the others: "Just like this for now; find a doctor to give him an IV, give him nutritional medicine, let him rest well, and wait for the leaders' opinions."

Hearing Li Li Xuewu say this, both Old Wang and Zhang Zhang Guoqi breathed a sigh of relief.

No one wants to be cannon fodder, and no one wants to exhaust their energy here.

Li Li Xuewu said so, which means the matter is not far from being settled.

They don't need to do anything, just wait for the news.

Whether they live or die will be decided after the leaders discuss it.

The key to this is the disagreement between Yang Shuji and Director Li.

Zhang Zhang Guoqi also knows that it depends on who the final winner is.

If Director Li wins, he lives; if Yang Shuji wins, he dies.

Li Li Xuewu didn't say anything more at the Discipline Inspection Commission, went upstairs to report the situation in the interrogation room to Xue Xue Zhifu, and also explained his arrangements.

It was mainly based on Zhang Zhang Guoqi's physical condition; if he continued to be interrogated like this, who would take responsibility if something went wrong?

So Xue Xue Zhifu took the appeal letter and nodded in agreement without saying anything else.

Li Li Xuewu came out of the Discipline Inspection Commission building, looking at the bright red propaganda notices in the courtyard, and the bustle of the workers celebrating the festival, and then thinking of Zhang Zhang Guoqi's situation, it was as if he had returned to the human world.

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and two days later is National Day. The two festivals are celebrated together, and the factory prepared a celebration party early on.

It seems that in order to dispel some kind of evil atmosphere, the Propaganda Department made it very lively, and even the radio station was broadcasting the announcement of tonight's party.

The country has always liked to use some kind of bustle or celebration to summarize the encounters of a stage.

For example, the end of love is marriage, which requires firecrackers.

For example, the end of life is a funeral, which requires firecrackers.

For example, the end of the New Year is New Year's Eve, which requires firecrackers.

Mid-Autumn Festival, although it didn't happen to coincide with National Day, the consensus in the factory is to let them celebrate the festival together.

The celebration of double festivals can increase the degree of happiness and forget the bitterness that the celebration of one festival cannot eliminate.

"Hello, Deputy Secretary Li!"

"Oh, Comrade Feng Juan."

Li Li Xuewu withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked at Feng Juan who greeted him.

"Is there happy news?"

"Thank you!"

Feng Juan bowed slightly to Li Li Xuewu very gratefully.

Then she explained: "My transfer order has arrived. Thank you for your love and support; thank you!"

"Hehehe~"

Li Li Xuewu laughed lightly and said: "I didn't put in any effort; what are you thanking me for? You should thank the organization for its cultivation."

"Hehe~"

Feng Juan laughed very happily. Seeing Li Li Xuewu say this, she joked: "I thanked the organization~"

Li Li Xuewu said he didn't put in any effort, but he hadn't even asked where she was going, so saying this meant he knew the situation.

Besides, she wasn't stupid; could she have been selected to be a cadre at the reception center without Li Li Xuewu?

The deputy director of the Personnel Department didn't have the guts to intervene in the reception center.

Thinking of the complaints she made to him a while ago, Feng Juan felt a bit embarrassed again.

But this matter was indeed done by Li Li Xuewu, so she should come to thank him.

In the past, there was a possibility of developing a friendly relationship between the two, but now it's basically impossible.

He is running too fast, and even if she jumps and runs, she can't catch up.

So instead of feeling sorry for herself, it's better to thank him sincerely and face it bravely.

Going to the reception center, without Li Li Xuewu's support, she couldn't carry out her work.

Having seen this side and talked again, it would be easier for her to communicate with the reception center.

Li Li Xuewu didn't care about these unspoken rules in the agency; he had reached this step and didn't need to worry about these things.

Feng Juan greeted him, whether it was a deliberate encounter or a real encounter, he understood her attitude.

Feng Juan was not a young girl who had just started her job. Having not made progress herself in these past few years, had she not seen others make progress?

Having seen it often, she had learned how to do it; how could she not understand the rules?

Li Li Xuewu didn't really care about these unspoken rules in the agency. Having reached this step, he no longer needed to worry about such things.

Whether Feng Juan greeted him out of a deliberate chance encounter or a genuine one, he already understood her attitude.

"What are you busy with?"

"The evening program~"

Feng Juan was in high spirits due to the happy occasion, and her manner was radiant as she spoke.

"For tonight's Mid-Autumn and National Day gala, our department has also prepared a program."

She giggled and said, "Our section chief said that although my transfer order has arrived, the program can't change people; I have to stand my last post well."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, saying, "Then I look forward to your excellent performance tonight."

After speaking, he gestured toward the Security Building and walked away.

Feng Juan stood where she was, watching Li Li Xuewu walk away. Looking at that figure, she felt her heart rippling with excitement.

It was Monday, the first day of formal work after two consecutive weeks of business trips.

Li Li Xuewu was so busy he was about to smoke. Going to the Discipline Inspection side in the morning was considered a break; after he returned, the people coming to report to his office never stopped.

During this time, Zhou Yao came to report that the investigation into those people the Security Division was assisting Discipline Inspection with, as well as the situation regarding public security crimes, had already been clarified.

A report on the handling opinions for the personnel involved in these cases was also submitted.

Those who should be fined were fined, those who should be detained were detained, and those with serious circumstances were reported to the factory's Personnel Division for further handling.

And the personnel involved who held cadre status had all been transferred to Discipline Inspection.

According to what Zhou Yao reported, the work on the Discipline Inspection side had not yet ended; they would have to wait a while before transferring the personnel who needed to be handled by the Security Division.

The nature of the work of the two departments was different, and the types and directions of the cases they targeted were also different.

This resulted in some types of misconduct needing to be handled by Discipline Inspection, while other types of crimes needed to be handled by the Security Division.

There were even cases that were relatively complex, requiring both departments to handle them together.

Li Li Xuewu listened to her report and looked at the work report submitted by the Security Section, which had Xiao Xiao Zihong's opinion and signature on it, and finally signed his name.

"This work was done very well. Continue to work hard, make persistent efforts, and create even better results."

He only had time to give Zhou Yao these few sentences, which counted as words of encouragement.

The phone on the desk rang, and Zhou Yao saluted and left with the documents.

"Yes, I am Li Li Xuewu."

While picking up the phone, Li Li Xuewu still had to look at the documents.

The call was a request for help from Wu Wu Youqing, the person in charge of the Huaqing Security Division.

On the phone, he asked him if he could invite a professor from the Architecture Department of Huaqing to come here for training and study under the identity of the Steel Rolling Factory.

This request left Li Li Xuewu stunned. The Steel Rolling Factory did indeed have a need for architecture, but it wasn't as if Wu Wu Youqing lacked channels for coordination.

There were quite a few teachers and students coming to the Steel Rolling Factory for training and study; why was this one missing?

"Can't you just have him come directly~"

Li Li Xuewu frowned and asked, "Is his status special?"

That was the only reason. The other party's status was special, and someone was watching him.

"It's like this."

Wu Wu Youqing said hesitantly, "It's Mr. Liang. His current situation is not very good."

"Mr. Liang? Which one?"

Li Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, and the fountain pen in his hand stopped.

He didn't seem to know anyone named Liang, and his eldest brother hadn't mentioned any such connection to him either.

"It's Mr. Liang Sicheng."

Wu Wu Youqing explained, "The progressives in the school have targeted him..."

Li Li Xuewu listened on the phone, and only after Wu Wu Youqing finished speaking did he understand who this Mr. Liang was.

He was the husband of Lin Weiyin, who was hailed by later generations as the greatest talented woman of the Republic of China, and he was currently a professor in the Architecture Department at Huaqing.

At this time, those who could be called "Mr." all had a certain academic status or were close relatives.

Li Li Xuewu had initially thought it was a connection on his side; he hadn't expected it to be a true academic master.

Of course, one cannot judge a person's academic status by their life and personal experiences.

Later generations mostly used their life experiences to shape the taste of their own petty-bourgeois lives.

You look at the trivial love stories of this couple, but in fact, what famous person doesn't have a mess behind them?

The difficulties Mr. Liang encountered at Huaqing were indeed troublesome.

After Wu Wu Youqing finished explaining this wave of crazy operations, Li Li Xuewu, sitting on this end of the phone, was dumbfounded after hearing it.

Can theory and practice really be played like this?

If you want to demonstrate whether the Security Division has professional security capabilities, do you have to pull out a few real people for target practice?

"This..."

Li Li Xuewu hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"Division Chief Wu, why don't you tell me what you mean first."

How the hell is he supposed to arrange this? If those little brats followed him to the Steel Rolling Factory, would he have to let the workshop help Mr. Liang build an Iron Great Wall?

The kind that can't be kicked down?

Whoever came here would have to say "Damn" right?

"You see if there is any construction need on the mountain, or just some safe manual labor work."

In the end, Wu Wu Youqing lowered his standards. As long as there was a way to survive, even if it was sweeping toilets, it was better than just wasting away at Huaqing.

Li Li Xuewu understood. He wanted to send these professors away, the further the better, so that those little brats couldn't reach them.

"Architecture..."

He hesitated for a moment and said, "I do have a safe way."

"The construction contracting unit of our factory has a need for architectural technology; we can contact them."

Li Li Xuewu specifically asked, "Is it okay if the work location is not in Beijing?"

"Yes, yes!"

Wu Wu Youqing nodded in agreement hurriedly, "It's better if it's not in Beijing, as long as it's safe."

"I can't absolutely guarantee safety, but it's definitely not as crazy as your school."

Li Li Xuewu was helping out, not doing things for himself; how could he make any guarantees?

"I'll have the people from Dongfeng Construction contact you later. Our factory has construction tasks in both Steel City and Camp City."

"Good, good!"

Wu Wu Youqing said happily, "Northeast is good. The Northeast is wealthy, and living conditions are guaranteed."

"Hehe."

Li Li Xuewu chuckled, which counted as agreeing.

When he hung up the phone, he couldn't help but shake his head. These intellectuals are just pretentious; they've been reduced to this point, and they're still particular about their lives.

According to Wu Wu Youqing, Mr. Liang's monthly salary of over 300 yuan had over 100 yuan used for buying tonics.

They said his health was poor, but who knows what all that money was used to supplement.

He wouldn't talk nonsense about these things without having experienced them himself, let alone comment on other people's lives.

He supported several families on a monthly salary of over 300 yuan; who said anything about him?

So, interfere less in other people's business; they didn't eat your rice or flour.

Arranging for these professors to go to Dongfeng Construction was considered a professional match. For Dou Dou Yaozu, it was truly the ancestral grave smoking; only then could he invite so many industry masters to join.

No need to say anything else; as long as they were protected properly in these few years, the future disciples of these professors would all have to remember this friendship.

Li Li Xuewu wouldn't think too much about how much energy these people had. Anyway, regarding professional matters, he could only help Dou Dou Yaozu this much.

After eating lunch and returning, Sha Sha Qizhi reported some of the situation in the factory to him.

Taken as a whole, the Steel Rolling Factory had been surging with undercurrents these past few weeks, really as if something big was about to happen.

Rumors were spreading that Discipline Inspection had found evidence of Director Li's corruption.

There was also news saying these were all slanders, fake news, and deliberate smears against Director Li.

People said everything; in the agency, as long as there was any disturbance, it would be like this.

Tonight's gala was destined to push this evil wind to its peak. When the main leaders of the factory arrived, it would inevitably be another dragon-and-tiger fight.

And the focus of the topic, what sparks would fly when Yang Shuji and Director Li met, was the focus of attention for those in the agency who loved to watch the excitement.

To put it bluntly, they just wanted to know how the anti-corruption storm started by Yang Shuji would end.

When two tigers fight, one must be injured. Whoever was injured was a brilliant fireworks display for them, and there would be more gossip after dinner.

Li Li Xuewu didn't think much of Sha Sha Qizhi's report, and he didn't believe that Discipline Inspection had grasped clues to Li Li Huai De's corruption.

If they really had them, it would be impossible for them to leak them and let them talk nonsense.

It was possible for other departments in the Steel Rolling Factory to have loose lips, but to say Discipline Inspection leaked secrets? That's not a joke.

Some work in the factory could be discussed casually after getting off work, but some work couldn't be finished without staying late; how could anything leak out?

However, Li Li Xuewu also thought that this wind might not necessarily be spread randomly by those below; it was also possible that someone with a heart was deliberately muddying these stagnant waters.

You say it's Li Li Huai De, Li Li Xuewu couldn't be sure; you say it's Yang Yang Yuansong, Li Li Xuewu felt it was also possible.

Anyway, everyone involved in this game had a share; even if he suspected Xue Xue Zhifu was making trouble, he believed it was possible.

Because Xue Xue Zhifu was placed in the front to suffer, he also wanted to end this storm early.

No!

This Steel Rolling Factory can't be stayed in!

Li Li Xuewu was approving documents in his office, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt.

Don't let the city gate catch fire and bring disaster to the fish in the moat!

Yang Yang Yuansong was red-eyed now, deliberately looking for trouble; don't let him start from his side!

"Tell Han Jiankun that we'll go to the Third Guard Regiment in ten minutes."

Damn it, if you should be cowardly, you have to be cowardly; run away first if something happens!
