Chapter 855: My Rules Are the Rules!

"Liar!"

"Hmph!"

Zhou Xiaobai didn't believe Li Xuewu's nonsense at all!

If it were anything else, she might be confused, but she could recite the information about Li Xuewu backward.

An idol, after all! One she chose herself!

Even if he talked nonsense with a straight face, she had to endure it and continue to like him!

Li Xuewu teased her and asked: "Do you want to join the army too?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Xiaobai gave a particularly clear answer and turned to look into his eyes: "I want to become someone like you!"

"Someone like me?"

Li Xuewu pursed his lips amusedly and said: "Do you know what kind of person I am?"

After saying this, he raised his eyebrows and said: "What if I'm a bad person?"

"For example?"

Zhou Xiaobai really couldn't imagine how bad Li Xuewu could be; in her heart, Li Xuewu was a role model, a perfect person.

"Hmm..."

Li Xuewu hesitated and said: "For example, if I'm someone who hides a knife in a smile, is honey-mouthed and sword-hearted, is insidious and cunning, and is a lecher?"

Zhou Xiaobai looked at Li Xuewu carefully, thought about it, and shook her head: "Impossible, you couldn't be! You're nothing like the bad guys in the movies!"

"Hahaha."

Li Xuewu laughed out loud and asked: "Is it because I don't look as good as the bad guys in the movies?"

"No!"

Zhou Xiaobai shook her head and said: "Even if you really behaved the way you just described, I would still feel that you had hidden bitterness, or that you needed to do so."

Seeing Li Xuewu slightly surprised, she said very confidently: "I know you are a good person; good people also need to use some means to do things; I understand!"

"..."

There were five people in the car, and four of them were silent.

Luo Yun covered her face in the face of her little sister's fan-girl behavior; it was really speechless!

Li Xuewu was also stunned when he heard her words; he didn't expect that in the vast sea of people, he would actually meet someone who understood him!

If it weren't for the fact that he still had a bit of shame and still wanted a bit of face, he probably would have said "Only you understand me" by now.

Seeing Li Xuewu stunned, Zhou Xiaobai nodded very seriously and said: "I really understand you."

"Alright, alright, alright."

Li Xuewu nodded; he couldn't let her go on, otherwise the substitute driver in front and Sha Qizhi would both be unable to help laughing.

"Actually, we are all the same, just ordinary people; I joined the army partly to seek progress, and partly because I didn't get into university."

Li Xuewu told Zhou Xiaobai the truth: "When I was in the army, I also made mistakes, and I also thought about danger and fear; I am just an ordinary young man."

Zhou Xiaobai looked at Li Xuewu, her eyes shining: "Really good, being able to speak the truest self, facing the heart directly, you are really brave."

"I..."

Li Xuewu looked at this girl speechlessly; he really didn't know what to say.

Am I really that good?

I am still too excellent!

Too low-key, even letting others see these things!

Too inappropriate!

"What a malicious act!"

"Despicable! Shameful! A tumor!"

Yang Yuansong's angry voice echoed in the conference room.

His eyes were severe, and every word was bitten very clearly, as if to achieve the effect of a heavy hammer, knocking on the hearts of everyone present.

His fingers tapped on the table, the sound clear and powerful.

"Zhang Guoqi's behavior seriously violated organizational discipline, damaged the interests of the Steel Mill and all staff, and must be handled seriously!"

Yang Yuansong's voice was almost biting: "The Discipline Inspection Department must dig deep and investigate thoroughly; we must not tolerate evil, and no one involved can be let go!"

The atmosphere in the conference room was heavy; Li Huai De sat there silently, his eyes deep, with no intention of speaking.

The situation was basically clear; Yang Yuansong was a grasshopper after autumn, unable to jump for a few more days.

Now the more he jumped, the more it proved how anxious and cowardly he was, eager for quick success.

Li Huai De calculated the timing; now he would respond to change with constancy, no need to clash head-on with him, just wait for him to wither away on his own.

Now Yang Yuansong was acting crazy with small moves just to make him take the bait, so he could show how brave and upright he was.

But he just wouldn't take the bait, letting him sing a solo, letting him be a monkey-show performer in front of all the factory staff.

This incident had already spread widely, and the future of the Steel Mill was full of variables.

What Li Huai De had to deal with was not Yang Yuansong, but the vibration and feedback caused by what Li Xuewu said.

If this caused resonance, the situation would take another form; for the Steel Mill, for him and Li Xuewu and others, it was a challenge.

Of course, Li Xuewu also mentioned in the discussion that it takes time for the wind to blow down, and it also takes time for it to blow back.

During this period, it was best to stabilize the overall situation within the Steel Mill and meet the test with the posture of the whole factory working together to grasp production and reform.

Saying it's responding to change with constancy is actually change itself; one must make oneself stronger and more powerful.

Eliminating discordant voices is the first step to becoming stronger, and Li Huai De was waiting for this day to come.

You say Li Huai De is a bad person, so Yang Yuansong is a good person?

There is nothing absolute in the world; Li Xuewu never looked at it that way.

In the execution of management tasks and responsibilities, there are no good people or bad people, only good policies and terrible decisions.

If a person's character is bad, but he makes a decision beneficial to the whole factory, are you saying he is a good person or a bad person?

If a person's quality is more excellent than a saint, but he causes losses to the factory's interests, then is he a good person or a bad person?

In dialectical materialism, one always starts from reality and looks at this problem from a rigorous angle and thought.

When Li Xuewu can control Li Huai De, Li Xuewu sees him as a good person, a very good person!

And when Li Xuewu cannot control him, and the two people's thoughts and actions go in opposite directions, then in Li Xuewu's eyes, he is a bad person, with a conscience that is very bad!

Good people and bad people have never had a standard judgment meaning in subjective ideology.

Just like Zhou Xiaobai looking at Li Xuewu; she likes Li Xuewu, admires Li Xuewu, and everything about Li Xuewu is good and correct.

Li Xuewu is her good person, and those who oppose Li Xuewu are all bad people.

Today, Li Huai De sees Yang Yuansong as a bad person, Yang Yuansong sees Li Huai De as unforgivable; the two used to drink together, and now they both want to feed each other poison!

Remember one sentence: in the process of political entanglement, there will be no unjust, false, or wrong cases.

Because there is no right or wrong, only winning or losing.

Xue Zhifu stood up, his face a bit obscure, but his tone was firm: "I am willing to take full responsibility for the security work negligence in this incident and make a profound self-criticism to the organization."

"I guarantee that the case-handling process will strictly follow the procedures and will never tolerate it."

His words were calm, but everyone could feel the self-reproach and determination in his words.

No one could stay out of it; everyone was looking for their own foothold.

In Zhang Guoqi's ward, the doctors were busy doing the final physical examination for him.

This person who once called the wind and rain in the Steel Mill was now haggard, his eyes dull.

He knew very well that everything about him had become the past, and all his power and status had been stripped away by a piece of paper.

The Discipline Inspection had completed his interrogation work, and the disciplinary problems he committed in his work had also been investigated clearly.

This morning, four Discipline Inspection cadres brought him to the hospital for a physical examination to prepare for the final handover.

His appeal still had an effect, at least the Discipline Inspection Department had a reason to let water go.

Zhang Guoqi hadn't experienced that kind of high-intensity questioning after Li Xuewu left.

Old Wang from the Discipline Inspection Department was like dealing with a chore; he went but didn't ask questions, sitting there drinking tea, smoking, and grinding time.

Regarding the handling result, Zhang Guoqi had his own psychological preparation.

Although it was a mistake produced in work, the money found in his home could already judge everything.

It's hard to say how much Director Li can protect him, but since he didn't confess, the other party at least wouldn't fall into the well and make things difficult for him.

Execution is not to that extent, and it's even possible he won't have to squat in the fence.

After all, this is just a simple disciplinary error; at worst, it's expulsion from organizational status and expulsion from the cadre status of the Steel Mill.

In that chaotic situation, who could say clearly where he was wrong, what things shouldn't have been taken, and who shouldn't have been beaten!

If it were all shaken out clearly, I'm afraid the Steel Mill would have to arrest many people.

Li Huai De wouldn't let Yang Yuansong do this, and Yang Yuansong wouldn't dare to do this either.

Therefore, the law does not blame the masses, and he basically won't have too much trouble and danger.

The Discipline Inspection cadre accompanying him to check his body didn't use detention means; the handcuffs were removed, and the people from the Security Department had already withdrawn.

This just explains the handling opinion and direction of his problem.

The doctor at the Steel Mill hospital finally gave the diagnosis result: he is very healthy.

Zhang Guoqi was stunned for a long time after hearing this; he gritted his teeth and wanted to give this young doctor a slap; I am fucking healthy now?

Would a healthy person have blood in their urine!

You guys are just hoping I'll roll away early, so as not to cause you trouble!

No wonder the department director didn't appear and found a young one to give him a check-up; this is a scapegoat!

Forget it, very healthy is very healthy.

People say you are healthy, this really can't be argued; do you want to say you are sick yourself?

He walked out of the hospital slowly accompanied by Discipline Inspection cadres, followed by various discussions and disdainful gazes.

He didn't care, nor did he have the mood to care, just lowered his head and followed the Discipline Inspection cadre back with stumbling steps.

Old Wang told him privately this morning that his handling result had come down, and the Discipline Inspection could close the case after checking his body.

This is a good thing; the work and status are gone, but at least the life is still there; as long as he is given time and opportunity, where can't he mix a meal.

Because the storm he caused was far from subsiding, Zhang Guoqi was already calculating his own way out, and others were looking for the future in the undercurrents.

The big study activity had been going on for several months, and those with slow reactions had also reacted.

This is a test, and also an opportunity.

Only by grasping this opportunity, even if it's a pig, can it fly if it stands at the wind outlet.

Zhang Guoqi prepared to walk out of the Discipline Inspection, walk out of the Steel Mill, and go find his own wind outlet.

Followed the Discipline Inspection cadre back to the Party Committee building, back to the interrogation room where he had suffered for several days.

When he sat on the cold chair again, listening to Old Wang from the Discipline Inspection Department reading the organization's handling decision regarding his disciplinary behavior.

It was just as he thought: removal from office, expulsion from status, expulsion from the Steel Mill...

Stripped to the end, skin peeled off, nothing left.

He thought he was ready to accept this handling decision, but when Old Wang read these, he still couldn't help but regret and blame himself.

The pen in his hand hesitated for a moment, and finally signed his name on that thin document.

This might be the last time he signed a document in the Steel Mill; the action that used to feel very hard now became the attachment he found hardest to cut off.

The Steel Mill gave him glory, gave him status, and gave him the power of a pen.

Today, when he violated the discipline of the Steel Mill, these things would all be taken back.

This is the organization, this is discipline.

Zhang Guoqi's mood was complex, a faint sense of powerlessness permeated his chest.

He thought this moment was the end of his career in the Steel Mill.

Removal from office, reputation swept to the ground, but at least he could keep his last freedom.

However, just as he stood up, preparing to say a proper goodbye to this interrogation room that was once full of resentment and entanglement, footsteps came from the entrance.

The Discipline Inspection cadre opened the door, but it was the people from the Security Department!

There was no expression on their faces, as if they were just here to execute an ordinary task.

"Zhang Guoqi, you are under arrest."

The leading Security Department cadre read the arrest decision expressionlessly; every word was like a nail knocking on Zhang Guoqi's heart, making him completely desperate.

"Suspected of threatening, intimidating, coercing, beating, and insulting others, causing the death of the other party, as well as corruption in office, etc., the charges are established."

The voice of the security cadre was cold, without a trace of fluctuation, as if reading an insignificant statement.

Zhang Guoqi's face turned pale instantly, his hands trembled slightly, and he let the security department's public security personnel put handcuffs on his hands again.

He was shocked and liver-trembling, but a trace of irony hooked on the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Guoqi looked at the Discipline Inspection cadre who retreated to the side, then looked at the security cadre who came to take over him, and spoke slowly, his voice carrying a trace of mockery: "You guys cooperate quite well, seamless!"

His words were full of helplessness and sarcasm, but more of it was a clear understanding of this game.

What fucking intimate comrades-in-arms, what fucking Director Li will protect himself!

He was just a pawn to be sacrificed, while the real black hand was still hidden behind the scenes, manipulating everything.

The people from the Security Department didn't respond to Zhang Guoqi's sarcasm; they just mechanically dragged him from the chair, then escorted him out of the interrogation room, out of the Party Committee building, and walked toward the Security building diagonally opposite.

Really just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth!

Zhang Guoqi's heart was full of bitterness; facing the strange gazes of the office staff in the courtyard, he endured and didn't reveal any sadness or despair, just followed the people from the Security Department silently, walking toward that unknown future.

At this moment, everything about Zhang Guoqi had ended, and the storm in the Steel Mill was far from over.

October 3rd, Friday.

The air in the Steel Mill suddenly became tense, as if every corner was full of buzzing sounds like electric current.

A directive document forwarded by the higher-ups for supervision, like a heavy bomb, exploded in the factory unexpectedly.

After the document was issued, the atmosphere inside the Steel Mill became unusually complex.

Some people who were not very conspicuous on weekdays began to become active; they spoke wildly in group discussions.

In the name of this "negation is reasonable," many behaviors that didn't dare to openly cross the line on weekdays began to become unscrupulous.

Some people even began to openly defy rules and regulations.

At the same time, the Steel Mill's organizational organs and their persons in charge, including Li Xuewu, felt unprecedented pressure.

The Security Department was still okay; Li Xuewu sat in command personally, and the disciplinary department he built and trained with one hand maintained a tough style and excellent quality.

The discipline of other departments was uneven, some good and some bad.

The authority of the person in charge was seriously challenged, and the power and instructions on weekdays were no longer listened to.

Some cadres began to worry about their future and fate; once they were labeled, it would be a stain that could not be washed away.

In this chaotic situation, Li Xuewu felt unprecedented challenges.

Compared to the twists and turns in the early stage of the big study activity, this time it came more fiercely and suddenly.

Li Huai De communicated with him about this matter; only when necessary could actions be taken, and one couldn't intervene easily.

He understood Li Huai De's decision and deployment very well; any mistake in any step could lead to them being drawn into this vortex, unable to extricate themselves.

Security Department, 3rd Floor.

Director's Office.

Li Xuewu closed his eyes and took a deep breath; he knew that he and the Steel Mill had reached a crossroads, facing a difficult choice.

He could choose to follow this trend of "negation is reasonable" to protect himself; but his conscience told him that this was a betrayal of principles and a threat to the long-term development of the Steel Mill.

He could choose to stick to his position, but this would very likely make him a target of public criticism, and even lose everything he had.

The most difficult choice was not which road to take; Li Xuewu had the correct answer in his heart, so he certainly wouldn't go the wrong way.

However, he could choose, but how should the Steel Mill choose?

The trend is coming fiercely; his individual strength is ultimately limited.

In the early stage of the big study activity, he could still use his influence to move around inside the Steel Mill, creating one conflict after another, suppressing the risk to the minimum limit of explosion.

But now people's hearts are moving, and the movement is like a tide; the external situation is changing drastically; how much can one person's influence do?

Now Li Huai De saying words to avoid the sharp edge already explained the danger of the situation.

Yang Yuansong is the shield he pushed out, the core point of undertaking this storm, and also the final scapegoat.

In the current wind and rain, whoever stands out to say it's not good, it's not right, will be struck by lightning.

No one can withstand the blow of this power, unless they have already given up their political life and turned to seek other ways out.

But even if these were given up, what is the significance of his so-called sacrifice to the Steel Mill?

The Steel Mill is like a big round ball, and everyone is supporting it and walking forward slowly.

Now it has encountered a downward slope, and the round ball is rolling faster and faster, about to crush the people living around it.

Even if someone stands out to block this round ball, it is only a negligible resistance to it and cannot block the general trend of its forward movement.

Unless everyone unites, with one heart and one mind, not afraid of sacrifice and difficulties, and resolutely prevents its wanton behavior.

But who is willing to stand out and bear this kind of sacrifice?

At such a historical moment, Li Xuewu can feel the heavy responsibility given to him by the era.

He needs to find a road that can both protect himself and maintain the stability of the Steel Mill.

This requires wisdom, courage, and also opportunity.

He opened his eyes suddenly and decided to start by stabilizing the emotions in the factory.

"Qizhi, notify the persons in charge of all departments and the backbone forces to come to the conference room for a meeting in ten minutes."

"Leader."

Sha Qizhi didn't agree immediately, but suggested softly: "Should we slow down a bit? After all, it has just begun."

Yes, the influence after the document was issued had just fermented and hadn't formed a greater destructive power and effect.

However, once this trend is formed, it is not something Li Xuewu can intervene in.

He must guide and destroy its core power in the early stage of the storm, so that the damage received by the Steel Mill is reduced to the minimum.

"Go do it; I have a count in my heart."

Seeing the leader insist, Sha Qizhi nodded and turned to give the notice.

Li Xuewu is not a reckless person; he wants to gather all the middle-level cadres and backbone forces for an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

The Steel Mill is not his, nor is it the Security Department's, but the Security Department guards the last line of defense of the Steel Mill.

One cannot wait until the flood is drowning the neck to think of disaster relief.

If the Security Department really sees the need to execute the last line of defense, the Steel Mill has also reached the last moment.

The meeting was held in the large conference room on the third floor; those attending included Li Xuewu, who was in charge of the Security Department's work, Deputy Director Xiao Zihong, and the persons in charge and backbone of several departments.

Li Xuewu first emphasized the responsibilities and discipline of the Security Department, as well as the work principles he had always been talking about.

The main person in charge can have thoughts and talk about politics, but the Security Department cannot have political thoughts.

Subsequently, he analyzed and made decision deployments regarding the current severe ideological situation in the Steel Mill and the security problems that would be caused.

Finally, he named the persons in charge of each department to discuss, study, and speak on these issues.

He needed to let these cadres understand that although the situation is complex, work must be carried out in an orderly manner, and the Steel Mill cannot be allowed to become a victim of the struggle.

Of course, this is only a temporary countermeasure; the real challenge is still behind.

He needs more allies, more wisdom, and more time.

If one room is not swept, how can one sweep the world? If the roots of the Security Department are not stable, how can one stabilize the foundation of the Steel Mill?

Regardless, Li Xuewu will not give up; having insisted for so long, how can he give up halfway because of a storm that was expected.

What he shoulders is not just his personal fate, but the future of everyone in the Steel Mill.

Yang Yuansong's mood was very heavy; yesterday he was still talking loudly and killing people in the meeting.

Today he discovered that his speech at the meeting had become a piece of empty paper and no longer had weight.

He felt unprecedented isolation and helplessness; the members of the leadership team used silence and evasive eyes, and used their feet to vote, silently expressing their positions.

The change in the situation made him a bit panicked; he realized that his authority was rapidly dissolving.

This was a curtain call he had long expected, but it was also a storm that caught him off guard.

He had thought that Li Huai De would use the big study activity to target him, but he hadn't thought that before Li Huai De made a move, the situation outside would change suddenly, and he would become a target of public criticism.

Cheng Kaiyuan has already become accustomed to keeping his mouth shut at meetings, and Nie Chenglin is even more so claiming illness to recuperate every few days.

Xue Zhifu...

The feedback he gave Yang Yuansong was blurred; one couldn't see his political position, let alone understand his ideology.

Gu Weijie's position was very clear: take development as the premise, and take the interests of the Steel Mill and the vast number of staff as the premise.

This is a high-profile team-standing, and also a wise choice.

Standing on the side of the majority is already invincible.

Gu Weijie had the conditions to do so, and also the capital to try this road; she didn't want to fight for administrative management, and Li Huai De would inevitably have to make concessions in organizational management.

Not fighting is instead a prerequisite for gaining support and compromise.

Yang Yuansong envied her; he also wanted not to fight, but the position he was in didn't allow him to choose this road.

It can be said that the one standing on the opposite side of Li Huai De is not Yang Yuansong, but the position Yang Yuansong is in.

Or it is the collision and struggle of their respective positions and the ideologies they represent.

Who wins is not important; what is important is what the Steel Mill will face next.

Li Huai De wins, it doesn't mean the Steel Mill will be smooth sailing from now on.

Yang Yuansong wins, it doesn't mean the Steel Mill will be doomed from now on.

The universe is not yet decided; anyone could be that dark horse that doesn't care about the life or death of others.

Yang Yuansong was forced onto this road; he chose to die together, but the fish wanted to die, yet the net was slow to fall.

Now the water is smelly, the fish has to die, and he wants to hit the net actively and drag the net into the water.

He decided to talk to Yang Fengshan, hoping to get some support from this old comrade-in-arms, or at least some sincere suggestions.

However, when he arrived in front of the factory club entrance, he found Yang Fengshan was quietly sweeping the floor.

He seemed to have adapted to the work of the cleaning team, put down all the struggles for power, and became like a sweeping monk who is a crane in the clouds.

Yang Yuansong naturally knew that the big leader had a judgment and talk about the situation with Yang Fengshan before leaving.

Or was he listening to the big leader's words and choosing to hibernate?

"Comrade Fengshan, I came to find you to talk to you." Yang Yuansong tried to break the silence.

Yang Fengshan stopped the work in his hands, leaned on the broom, and looked up; his eyes showed a trace of fatigue, but there was no surprise: "Yang Shuji, is there anything?"

"The sky is about to change, do you still have the mood to sweep the floor here?" Yang Yuansong tried to probe Yang Fengshan's thoughts.

Yang Fengshan sighed lightly and picked up the broom to continue sweeping: "Yang Shuji, the sky is about to rain, and the mother is about to marry; some things can no longer be forced."

"The current situation is not something that you and I can control together."

He looked up again, looked at Yang Yuansong, and reminded: "Sometimes, taking a step back is a vast sky."

He still had one sentence he didn't say: If I had known today, why bother in the beginning!

After saying this, he shook the fallen leaves on the broom and said as if unintentionally: "Just like me now, I am also making a contribution to the Steel Mill."

How could Yang Fengshan not hate Yang Yuansong; if he could have obtained his support at the beginning, how could he have fallen to this point today.

No matter how fierce Li Huai De played, it would be more than enough for the secretary and the factory director to clean him up together.

After all, at the beginning, the two represented the opinions of all the management of the Steel Mill.

The situation at that time was not as dangerous and severe as it is today; everything was possible.

Now... now it's too late.

One is that the situation is not up to people; Yang Fengshan has already been defeated and has no conditions and advantages for competition.

Yang Yuansong was forced to stand in front, so he had to fight back.

Li Huai De became the person who mastered the overall situation; now dealing with him is equivalent to dealing with the entire management of the Steel Mill.

How to fight?

Yang Fengshan hates Yang Yuansong; from the unhappy parting of the last meeting, one can see his disappointment in the secretary's indecisiveness and having plans but no courage.

What he can think of when facing Yang Yuansong is the famous saying that Fan Zeng, the sub-father, said to Xiang Yu in the past:

The sub-father received the jade bucket, placed it on the ground, drew his sword and smashed it, saying: "Alas! The boy is not worth planning with! The one who will take the world from Xiang Wang must be Pei Gong. We are now his captives!"

Now, isn't he Li Huai De's captive?!

Today Yang Yuansong also saw that he would have such a day, so he panicked and came to find him.

Yang Fengshan doesn't pity him at all, let alone regret that he has today; it's a day that will come sooner or later.

Yang Yuansong was silent; he looked at Yang Fengshan's calm back, and a sense of loss that was hard to describe surged in his heart.

He didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

He thought it was fine if Yang Fengshan really hibernated, or if he really lost his fighting spirit; since he wanted to sweep the floor, don't disturb him.

Looking at his current situation, it's not very good; even if he stands out, how much influence can he have.

When the two met, their mentalities were different, and the reason was that their positions were different, and their angles of looking at the problem were also different.

While Yang Yuansong wanted to use this storm and general trend to set off a stormy sea and find allies, Li Xuewu was doing the same thing.

The difference is that Yang Yuansong is for re-controlling the overall situation of the Steel Mill, while Li Xuewu is for stabilizing the overall situation of the Steel Mill.

It looks like one thing, but it is far apart, and even mutually contradictory.

Yang Yuansong was afraid that the Steel Mill would be chaotic at the beginning, and was afraid that Li Huai De's making trouble would affect the stable situation of the Steel Mill.

Now he also wants to learn from Li Huai De to borrow the trend, first make the Steel Mill chaotic, and then seek stability and control the situation.

Li Xuewu naturally wouldn't support him in doing this; the stable situation of the Steel Mill now is the effort and contribution he made.

Now someone has smashed the plate and re-set the rules; where should his rules be placed!

My rules are the rules!

After the Security Department meeting ended, he didn't stop and went directly to the Party Committee building.

He had already made preliminary communication with Xue Zhifu on the phone; having stabilized the Security Department, his second goal was to settle the Discipline Inspection Committee.

Grasp with both hands, both hands must be hard; the Security Department controls public security, and the Discipline Inspection Committee controls discipline.

Wasn't Li Xuewu mentioned to the Discipline Inspection Committee at the beginning to guard against today; he was about to exert his function.

Li Xuewu first held an ideological work meeting with the main persons in charge and business backbone of the Discipline Inspection Committee together with Xue Zhifu.

At the meeting, both emphasized the diversity and severity of the situation changes, calling on everyone to stick to their posts, remain rational, strictly observe discipline, and maintain the normal order of the Steel Mill.

Subsequently, the two also separately found cadres whose thoughts were relatively active and who had appeared to have large fluctuations in their work to carry out organizational talks.

One sang the red face, one sang the white face, coaxing and scaring, finally stabilizing the Discipline Inspection Committee.

Lunch time, Li Xuewu truly moved the conference room to the small canteen.

On the second floor, the large restaurant where they usually ate, the atmosphere today was very serious.

In the private room, there were cadres who usually ate together, as well as persons in charge of other departments.

Not only because problems appeared in the Steel Mill, but also because some of them had ideological fluctuations.

Some people's thoughts were skewed, some people produced feelings of fear of difficulty, and even more, they actually wanted to use this wind to vent the evil in their hearts.

Li Xuewu criticized these kinds of wrong thoughts and chaotic actions without naming names at the dinner table, and seriously indicated that whoever dared to let their thoughts slide, he would dare to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.

If you dare to make trouble, we will make you first!

Li Xuewu's speech still had strength; the most important thing was that the heart of the Security Department didn't scatter, maintaining absolute combat effectiveness.

At this time, who dared to talk back to Li Xuewu? Who dared to act wild in front of him?!

If he really wants to handle you, one hand is the Discipline Inspection Committee, and one hand is the Security Department.

Zhang Guoqi's self-deprecating words this morning were giving them a warning.

What the hell is seamless cooperation; that's because Li Xuewu is carrying two burdens on one shoulder, left hand pouring to right hand.

If you dare to jump, I will first investigate your discipline, then investigate your law!

I don't believe you are as clean as water and as bright as a mirror; I will catch you and press you to the ground to rub.

When he shows power, everyone has to listen and has to act according to his instructions.

Even if he is only a deputy director of the Security Department.

Even if he is a deputy director hanging the title of deputy secretary.

But the deputy director speaks, and the director has to listen.

Look at the private room now; those who got seats sit and listen, and those who didn't stand and listen.

So what if it's a big director; Lu Yuanshen from the Finance Department came late, and still had to stand at the entrance and listen to his lecture.

This private room is holding a middle-level cadre meeting, and the whole small canteen is silent.

Everyone's hands holding chopsticks are cautious and careful, very afraid of making a sound; he just has this kind of majesty and absolute suppression.

Li Xuewu said to the first and second leaders of the units who were standing or sitting in the private room:

The future of the Steel Mill, the future of everyone, is hanging on a thin line.

Everyone must unite closely and use their own wisdom and courage to find the road that can lead everyone out of the predicament.

Under the overturned nest, how can there be intact eggs.

If problems appear in the Steel Mill, everyone will have to suffer.

Now this trend is clearly aimed at their management layer; if they don't unite and don't contribute at this time, are they waiting to regret it after they go down?

One factory director sweeping the road is enough; there is no need for all the first leaders of all departments to accompany him to sweep the road.

Hesitant, looking forward and backward, the failed example of giving up the struggle is right in front of their eyes; everyone is not lacking the courage to struggle.

They are just lacking the reason to unite as one and the leader who is the first to shout this sentence.

Now Li Xuewu wants to be this leading big brother, and no one dares to say anything.

The key is that you dare to say it, and he dares to beat you now; he is just worried about not having a chicken to kill to warn those monkeys.

Li Xuewu set a goal for everyone with a firm gaze: "Today and tomorrow are critical periods; department leadership cadres must withstand the pressure and control the situation."

"The Security Department and the Discipline Inspection Committee will fully cooperate and resolutely crack down on those who spread rumors and make trouble in the chaos."

"Find one, handle one; find a group, I will handle your person in charge!"

He slapped the table and said severely: "I, Li Xuewu, mean what I say, and I do what I say!"

Therefore, the lunch hadn't ended yet, and the loose small group with Li Xuewu as the core suddenly united.

After work in the afternoon, all departments and units of the whole factory held ideological work meetings one after another.

The Security Department and the Discipline Inspection Committee made cooperative moves.

Strengthen public security control and maintenance from the whole factory scope, and the Discipline Inspection and Style Inspection Group carried out a major inspection of organizational discipline.

The two departments followed Li Xuewu's requirements and instructions, and both means came out, first beating down the arrogant flames of those active elements.

Li Xuewu anticipated that these people would have a counterattack in the wind, but he was not without preparation and defense.

All Security Department personnel were on standby, and they even started militia training for the whole factory from Friday afternoon.

The light machine guns in the armory were all brought out to show their faces; he just wanted to show his fist and warn these active elements that if they dared to make trouble, the Security Department would dare to handle them.

Li Xuewu sat in the Security Department, his face cold, his eyes narrowed, looking like a fierce god about to eat people, and the whole factory was solemn because of this.

This fierce god had too much murderous aura; ordinary people would tremble when they saw it; who would dare to hit his muzzle at this time.

Li Huai De also squeezed a cold sweat for his behavior and constantly clarified his attitude within the Management Committee to support Li Xuewu's work.

At the same time, he also coordinated Gu Weijie to strengthen ideological propaganda and public opinion guidance work.

The Management Committee's Workers' Correction Team and the Cultural Propaganda Team were fully mobilized; one strictly enforced worker discipline, and one promoted correct thoughts, fully cooperating with Li Xuewu's work.

Li Huai De originally wanted to give up part of the stable situation, or even sacrifice part of the interests, in exchange for using more gentle means as a transition.

But this bastard Li Xuewu didn't care about wealth, and in dealing with the current stability and development problems of the Steel Mill, he was even stingier and more extreme than him.

Li Xuewu chose this more direct method to hard-clash with this trend.

You want to brag, I won't stop you, but I can make it so you can't brag!

Of course, he also saw his calculation and strategy from Li Xuewu's actions.

That is to protect stability, not oppose reform; protect the overall situation, not oppose the spirit.

Still need to closely follow the era's overall situation and the current core value thoughts, and the industrial department strictly follows the idea of grasping reform and grasping production to carry out ideological work.

You can discuss route problems, but you cannot affect the overall situation of the Steel Mill.

You can change the direction of reform, but you cannot take destruction as the premise.

Li Xuewu gave the direction of compromise and also drew a red line that must be punished if touched.

Today and tomorrow, the Steel Mill can be considered to have truly entered the cold autumn, with a solemn and killing atmosphere.

The Tiger of the Steel Mill finally revealed its fangs! ===== CHAPTER 856 =====
