Chapter 862: If you can't handle it, take them down!

Li Xuewu had seen many young people who liked to talk big; the one right in front of him wasn't the most formidable.

But!

It was rare for Li Xuewu to see someone who didn't answer the question asked, whose response didn't match the inquiry, and who answered about the "hip joint" when asked about the "front gate tower."

When asked if he would cooperate and if he needed to be handcuffed, he gave a burst of youthful bravado.

Li Huai twitched the corner of his mouth, only feeling that this slap was truly unjust.

Even if Nie Chenglin had hit him himself, he wouldn't have felt it hurt this much.

Who wouldn't have made more sense hitting him than this "second-rate" youth!

Li Xuewu had walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and encountering this goods was also hard to handle.

You could hit someone like this eighteen times and it would be useless; their proud head would absolutely not allow tears to fall from the corners of their eyes, and they would inevitably look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, letting the tears flow into their heart.

"Nie Xiaoguang, right?"

"That's right!"

Nie Xiaoguang tilted his neck, very afraid that Li Xuewu wouldn't see his formidable face, and said brazenly, "That's me!"

Li Xuewu frowned, looked at Li Huai, and tested whether he should say, "Let's forget it," because this was clearly a "second-rate" goods!

Even if he took him back, what could he do? Beat him? Scold him?

This was clearly the kind of goods that couldn't be reasoned with!

Should they just pretend they were hit by a fool? Stepped on dog shit when going out?

Nie Chenglin usually looked very dignified; what was this situation of failing to teach his son?

What kind of family was it to raise such a "middle-school" youth?

And he even said "That's me!"

Should I beat you to the ground!

Li Huai was looking down at his documents and had no mood to pay attention to him anymore; he felt so disgusted he could die.

Li Xuewu tilted his head, looked at Nie Xiaoguang, and said, "Then come with me."

After speaking, he didn't bother with him anymore and turned to walk out.

Nie Xiaoguang was really dull; after hearing Li Xuewu finish speaking, he didn't look at the two people behind him who had been guarding against him, and pointed his finger at Li Huai with his face tilted toward the sky.

In front of Li Huai, he issued a threat and warning exclusive to young people.

Just you wait!

It wasn't until he saw Li Huai's complexion looking as uncomfortable as if he had eaten dog shit that he followed Li Xuewu out the door with the pace he thought was the most dashing, like a crab.

The two young cadres standing by the sofa glanced at the "second-rate" youth who had gone out, then looked at Director Li, and didn't dare to speak, leaving quietly.

All the way, Li Xuewu was like walking a dog, bringing a Husky back to the Security Building amidst the attention of everyone.

All the way, people were pointing and discussing, all talking about the young man's audacity.

And Nie Xiaoguang seemed to enjoy this attention very much; he didn't feel ashamed, nor did he feel he was a Husky being walked by Li Xuewu, and even had the heart to wink at pretty girls.

If this kid had even a bit of heart and lungs, he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.

Calling it innocent is a nice way of putting it; calling it "second-rate" is a bit of an understatement.

"Second-rate" youths have a lot of joy~

Returning to the office, Li Xuewu walked straight to his desk and waved his hand, signaling Nie Xiaoguang, who had followed him in, to go sit on the sofa.

Nie Xiaoguang was quite calm; he really had the look of waiting to be shot, slumped on the sofa, and crossed his legs.

Sha Qizhi, who had followed him in, glanced at him, thinking to himself, where did the leader dig up this kind of goods?

"I know who you are!"

Nie Xiaoguang shook his feet, lay on the sofa, and said to Li Xuewu, "Li Erbala from the East City, right! The one who handled Wei Min, caught Wei Guo, and hit Zhao Weidong!"

Sha Qizhi was so frightened by his full mouth of "nonsense" that the thermos in his hand almost fell to the ground.

In the Steel Rolling Factory, it was truly unheard of for anyone to dare call him Li Erbala to his face, and even more unheard of for anyone to dare count these underworld affairs in front of Li Xuewu.

What was the background of this kid? Don't tell me he's the son of some big shot.

But looking at this appearance, he didn't look like he had any family tradition.

Since when did underworld ruffians also put on airs in front of leaders!

Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes and sized him up for a moment, pondering in his heart how to throw away this hot potato.

Li Huai felt he was stinking dog shit, but didn't Li Xuewu feel the same?

A student who hadn't graduated yet, and the child of a factory leader involved, having reached this point, if he really cleaned him up, who knew what kind of talk would arise.

That was why Nie Xiaoguang could sit in Li Xuewu's office now, instead of the detention room downstairs.

"Don't doubt me."

Nie Xiaoguang was afraid Li Xuewu would misunderstand that he had investigated the other party's background, and explained indifferently, "My grandmother's house is in Jiaodaokou; I'm familiar with all the affairs on the street!"

Li Xuewu's eyelids drooped, and he had no intention of looking at him anymore; this was just a "hooligan," not quite a "tough guy," and not quite a "thug."

Seeing Li Xuewu pick up the phone on the table to make a call, Nie Xiaoguang braced his body, waved his hand, and said heroically, "I said one person does the work, one person takes the responsibility! No need to call my dad!"

This kid isn't quite stupid after all!

As soon as he picked up the phone, he knew who he was going to call; it looked like he had some brains!

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "How old are you?"

"Seventeen."

Nie Xiaoguang tilted his neck, also mimicking Li Xuewu's squinting look, and said, "What's wrong? Afraid you can't bring yourself to hit me?!"

"Come on! I'll take it all!"

He seemed very honored, spread his hands, and gestured to Li Xuewu, saying, "You were... when you were sixteen..."

"So you're still a minor~"

Li Xuewu really couldn't listen anymore; he couldn't let this little bastard continue talking. If he continued, all his own affairs would be shaken out by him.

Sha Qizhi also couldn't listen anymore and turned to leave the office; he was afraid that if he heard anything else he shouldn't, he would be silenced by the leader.

Nie Xiaoguang, who had been interrupted by Li Xuewu, tilted his chin and said, "So what if I'm a minor! Can't a minor..."

"Right!"

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "If a minor makes a mistake, they have to find their parents."

On one side, he asked for the phone number of Nie Chenglin's home from the operator.

While waiting for the call, facing Nie Xiaoguang's dissatisfaction, Li Xuewu explained seriously, "According to the Steel Rolling Factory's Public Security Management Regulations, I have to find your parents to handle this problem of yours."

Li Xuewu knew these brats too well; if you talk to them about regulations, they talk to you about the underworld; if you talk to them about the underworld, they talk to you about morality; if you talk to them about morality, they talk to you about the "thirty years east of the river"!

The best way to deal with these brats is to call their parents!

It's not that you need their parents to come and beat them, or to do it in front of their parents.

When it comes to doing it, does Li Xuewu care if your parents are there or not?

Calling parents, for the children of the underworld, is the greatest and most severe insult.

They are young and hot-blooded, they put righteousness first, and they yearn to be acknowledged and treated as adults.

Therefore, they believe that being called by parents is a sign of immaturity and a sign of not being acknowledged by society.

It can be said to be a means with little physical harm but extreme insulting power.

Nie Xiaoguang had just been acting arrogant, but now he was hit directly in his dead spot, looking at Li Xuewu speechlessly.

He really wanted to say: Li Erbala, you are so vicious!

You are imposing the suffering you endured back then on the younger generation of brothers, right!

If it weren't in Li Xuewu's office, he would definitely shout at the outside: Betrayal is shameful!

"You don't plan to detain me?"

Nie Xiaoguang looked at Li Xuewu and said in a probing tone, "I can cooperate; the detention room is no problem either. Why don't you use some means on me?"

Li Xuewu twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't bother with him; you say whatever you want?

Then do I still want to mix in the Steel Rolling Factory?!

"Mm, I'm Li Xuewu."

The call was connected; Li Xuewu drooped his eyelids and looked at Nie Xiaoguang, saying into the phone, "Director Nie, your little Guang is here with me; I'll have to trouble you to come over."

No need to say much; Nie Xiaoguang is with the Deputy Group Leader of the Security Group, and he has to come over—what could it be?!

Nie Chenglin agreed very readily and didn't say any polite words; it was clear he was waiting to arrive at the scene to understand the situation before making a judgment.

He believed in Li Xuewu's character and organizational discipline; before he arrived, he absolutely wouldn't make things difficult for his son.

Of course, falling into the hands of the Tiger of the Security Division, the matter wouldn't be a small one.

Nie Xiaoguang also seemed to have discovered that the problem was serious; seeing Li Xuewu didn't bother with him after hanging up the phone, he sat back down on the sofa.

He certainly wasn't angry, nor had he given up, but he didn't know how to talk to Li Xuewu anymore.

He didn't play by the rules, and this Li Erbala was the same, giving him a set of "lost-track punches."

He stared at Li Xuewu, and Li Xuewu stared at the documents; the two of them were deadlocked like this.

The office was extremely quiet, and one could even hear the voices of office staff in the corridor outside the office.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Nie Xiaoguang shrugged his shoulders, slumped back on the sofa, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, "Don't worry! I won't cause you trouble!"

He seemed very magnanimous, and also like he was giving Li Xuewu a lot of face and a big favor, shaking his head and saying, "My dad said you're a good person."

Li Xuewu flipped a page of the document, just glanced at him, and lowered his head again, without any intention of responding.

"I know you treat me like a child~"

"I don't blame you~"

Nie Xiaoguang sat there talking to himself like a mental patient, not caring if Li Xuewu was listening or not, just saying, "I have a grudge against Wei Guo, so we can be considered to have a common enemy."

"Then I thank you~"

Li Xuewu's fountain pen swished a few times, writing his opinion and signature.

He changed to another document and continued reading, finally responding, but it was full of sarcasm.

Who the hell is your common enemy!

If you say it like that, aren't all the enemies of Wei Guo my friends?

Then I've cleaned up a lot of bad guys; wouldn't the whole street be full of friends!

Nie Xiaoguang also heard the impatience in Li Xuewu's words, pursed his lips, and spread his hands, making an expression of "I won't say anything, okay?"

Li Xuewu finally understood Li Huai's mood when looking at this kid.

It's more uncomfortable than stepping on dog shit!

The office returned to quiet, and Nie Xiaoguang didn't disturb Li Xuewu's work anymore, just sat there quietly waiting for his dad.

It seemed like he really wasn't afraid of his dad coming here to beat him, but rather felt it was a bit shameful that Li Xuewu had called his dad here.

After more than twenty minutes, the office door was knocked on again.

Li Xuewu greeted them to come in, and Sha Qizhi brought Nie Chenglin in.

"Director Nie."

"Group Leader Li, I've caused you trouble."

Nie Chenglin clearly had figured out what his son had done before coming.

So after entering the room and seeing Li Xuewu take the initiative to stand up and greet him, he looked somewhat helpless and shook hands politely.

Li Xuewu nodded and didn't act polite; Nie Xiaoguang had indeed caused him trouble.

Today's matters were already many, and then this kind of thing happened.

Letting go of Nie Chenglin's hand, Li Xuewu gestured to Nie Xiaoguang, who had stood up from the sofa, and said, "Take him back and communicate more; young people are impulsive, and they have quite a lot of ideas."

Nie Chenglin looked at his son, who was whole and uninjured, standing by the sofa and still performing his unyielding act for him.

It looked like he hadn't been cleaned up, and hadn't suffered any losses.

Was this a good thing?

That depends on how you say it!

If you consider it from his son's perspective, not being beaten or cleaned up is naturally a good thing.

Hitting Li Huai and being able to walk out of Li Xuewu's hands without anything happening is naturally enough for Nie Xiaoguang to brag about for a year.

However, from his perspective, Nie Chenglin, this wasn't a good thing.

If Li Xuewu had taken action against Nie Xiaoguang, it would mean there was still room for negotiation between him and Li Huai.

Now, Li Xuewu didn't even want to get involved, and didn't even want to touch the edges; could this be a small matter?

His trouble was big; he and Li Huai had formed a grudge, and a personal one at that.

Of course, the person was hit by Nie Xiaoguang; whether you call it being young and ignorant or young and brave, if the son takes action, the father has to bear it.

So Li Xuewu saying "let him off lightly" while carrying a comforting tone really made him feel moved.

How to say it?

His son did this all to vent his anger, but things aren't thought of or done this way.

Comparing him to Li Xuewu by his side, both are young people, less than four years apart, yet worlds apart.

Especially Li Xuewu's way of handling his son and this matter of his really made him admire him.

Nie Chenglin watched his son slowly lower his proud head under his gaze, then slowly nodded, beckoned to his son, and said, "Let's go."

He first nodded to Li Xuewu to thank him, then walked out.

Nie Xiaoguang looked at Li Xuewu, not understanding why Li Xuewu had called his dad here but didn't scold him a single word, nor did he make any decision on punishment, just letting him go directly.

Did this have anything to do with his father's position and status?

Not very likely; everyone in the factory knew his father had gone down, and not stepping on him was already considered merciful.

Was it because Li Erbala had a good relationship with his father?

That was even more impossible; although he didn't work in the Steel Rolling Factory, he had heard that Li Erbala was with Li Huai.

What was the reason? Don't tell me he and his father were acting for him!

Li Xuewu watched the father and son go out; Nie Chenglin's back was desolate, one old and one young, leaving one after another, truly giving a sense of helplessness.

Actually, this slap by Nie Xiaoguang hit hard; it didn't hit hard on Li Huai's face, nor on Li Xuewu's butt, but on his father's future.

This slap directly broke his father's path; people in the factory might feel relieved, and might pity them, but absolutely no one would support them doing this.

Li Xuewu not moving Nie Xiaoguang, but instead handing him over to Nie Chenglin, counted as protecting him on Li Huai's side; otherwise, Nie Chenglin wouldn't have been so polite.

Whether he remembers the favor or not, Li Xuewu doesn't care; it's just for peace of mind.

Can anyone say clearly whether Nie Chenglin is a good or bad person?

Say his temper is bad, but he handles work well.

Say his work is excellent, but he is stubborn.

Say he is arrogant and domineering, but he supports development.

People are all contradictory, and Li Xuewu doing this is also contradictory; Li Huai handing this matter to him is wanting to shake off the trouble without wanting to swallow this anger.

But Li Xuewu also didn't want to get involved in the trouble, so he sent the trouble to the father who was troubling him.

What do you call this?

This is called trouble coming home!

Because of this matter with Nie Xiaoguang, Li Xuewu specifically called Zhou Yao, the Deputy Li Kezhang of the Security Section, took the map of the office area, and carefully studied and redeployed the security work for the office area.

Moreover, he also signed the first order after the establishment of the Security Group:

The Steel Rolling Factory Security Group would fully enter the work of rectification and discipline construction and major training, and this work was handed over to Xiao Zihong to be responsible for.

And for the security work in the office area, it was raised to a certain level.

First, coordinate with the personnel department to formulate identity cards for the government personnel working in the office area; the cards must mark personal work information and black-and-white photos.

Li Xuewu gave Zhou Yao one month to handle the production and coordination of the identity cards, including setting up the gate duty system for the office area.

Second, coordinate with the engineering department to supplement and build the gaps and loopholes in the office area; where walls should be built, they shouldn't be left empty, and where there is a road, there must be a gate, and where there is a gate, there must be a post.

Finally, coordinate with the propaganda department to use various propaganda means to seriously enforce the Steel Rolling Factory's office system and work discipline; during daily work hours, unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from entering or leaving the office area.

At the same time, it was reiterated that within the production area of the Steel Rolling Factory, the families of staff and workers are strictly prohibited from entering, and if there is business, it must be handled through the gate post.

If they enter the factory area and office area without regulations and reporting, the Security Group will order the Security Section to handle it seriously according to the Steel Rolling Factory's Public Security Management Regulations.

Li Xuewu himself wanted to grasp the discipline of the Steel Rolling Factory, and now he had a suitable reason.

Other reasons might have caused complaints from workers, but this time Li Huai was hit, so no matter how serious the Security Section made it, it wouldn't be too much.

If there are any complaints, go complain to Li Huai; just think about it, making it so serious is mostly what he requested.

Li Xuewu had formed the habit of letting others take the blame; anyway, he wouldn't do the things that would get him scolded, and if he did, he would let others take the scolding for him.

Of course, this matter itself was caused by Li Huai; if he didn't make a big fuss and toss the people in the office area, how could the leader step down?

Does he still want face!

In order to let the leader step down, no matter how inconvenient it is for the comrades, they have to endure it; anyway, Li Huai's slap couldn't be taken in vain.

"Hey, is that Director Sun?"

"Old Zhang, Old Zhang, I was just saying I was looking for you!"

Sun Jian walked past the maintenance workshop and saw the maintenance technician Old Zhang smoking at the door, so he walked up with a smile and greeted him.

Old Zhang was even more surprised and unexpected; Sun Jian used to be the factory director's secretary, and even if he wasn't arrogant, at least his rank was there.

If it were in the past, how could he take the initiative to greet him?

Even if he went to the Security Division to be the office director now, it wasn't like he was down and out.

Being stopped by Sun Jian, Old Zhang looked somewhat fearful.

Sun Jian took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Old Zhang; Old Zhang raised his hand and signaled, "I just lit one!"

"Continue, continue."

Sun Jian saw that the cigarette in Old Zhang's hand had almost burned to the end, yet he said he had just lit it.

This was the maintenance workshop, mainly for repairing the factory's cars, including the transport team's trucks, so naturally, it included the small car team's cars.

There was a "No Smoking" sign at the door, and Old Sun felt somewhat embarrassed when he saw Sun Jian.

Now that he was being handed a cigarette by Sun Jian, he felt even more timid, afraid he would bring up safety management again.

Sun Jian didn't bring up the work of the Fire Section or the Inspection Section, as if he had really met him by chance and had something to ask Old Zhang.

Old Zhang didn't really dare to continue smoking right there, but instead tucked it behind his ear, somewhat guiltily saying, "Director Sun, do you have business?"

"Mm, mm, there is a small matter I want to trouble you with."

Sun Jian was like that; he was used to it. Whatever you asked him, he would say "mm, mm" twice, and only then would he speak of the main point.

This Old Zhang was simple, but he also had some crooked ways.

Just take this maintenance workshop; in the past, they secretly took a few outside jobs, and as long as it didn't delay the factory's work, no one bothered with him.

It was hard, dirty, and tiring technical work, and the leaders all turned a blind eye; who would talk about him?

Who would have thought that Old Zhang had wild paths and could actually connect with Li Xuewu, who was serving as Deputy Director of the Security Division back then, and started car maintenance.

Although this project was later pried away by the Technical Division, he had been eating dividends here all along, and his work had moved from underground to the bright side, with the Security Division giving him an endorsement, and it was going on in full swing.

Just look at the cigarette butt he was holding; being able to smoke "Da Qianmen" showed at a glance that it was Li Xuewu's connection.

Who in the Steel Rolling Factory didn't know that following Li Xuewu meant at least having "Da Qianmen" as a standard configuration!

Two mao seven per box; even when cursing on the street, you'd have energy with one in your mouth.

Former Production Management Division's Kuang Yusheng, Technical Division's Xia Zhongquan, Party Committee's Wei Zai... and so on; go look, they all smoke "Da Qianmen" now.

What the leader likes, the subordinates will inevitably follow.

What is called following the organization, what is called actively leaning toward the organization!

If the leader smokes "Lotus" and you smoke "Soft Zhonghua," isn't that being a "traitor"!

The one Sun Jian handed to Old Zhang was also "Da Qianmen," just like a secret code.

Ah, "Da Qianmen," you're also a connection of Director Li!

Ah, right, right, right, you are too!

Old Zhang subconsciously touched the "Da Qianmen" behind his ear and said with a smile, "Director Sun, you're too polite; if you have business, just speak."

He gestured to the workshop behind him and asked, "Do you want to repair a car?"

"Mm, mm, no."

Sun Jian was like that; he was used to it. Whatever you asked him, he would say "mm, mm" twice, and only then would he speak of the main point.

"I have a matter I haven't figured out; who is in charge of the small car team now?"

"What's up?"

Old Zhang had many tricks; Sun Jian asked like this, but he didn't answer first, instead asking Sun Jian back.

Sun Jian saw him like this and couldn't help but smile, saying, "It's like this; the small car team wants to change cars for our leaders, and I don't even know who to talk to."

Sun Jian was also an old hand; he only said half of what he meant, leaving the other half for Old Zhang to guess.

Old Zhang wasn't a person from the government side; how could he guess everything?

But!

He was the maintenance class that directly docked with the small car team; he might know less about other things, but he couldn't avoid things about the vehicle fleet.

"Director Li's business?"

Old Zhang could be vague about other things, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense about things related to Li Xuewu.

Sun Jian was deliberately saying it this way, knowing that Old Zhang was getting benefits from the Security Division, and this could also be considered borrowing strength to strike.

"Mm, mm, just understanding it, after all..."

He was really good at talking, deliberately raising his hand and saying, "You know, right~"

What do I know~

Old Zhang was also confused; he just knew this matter had a relationship with Director Li.

He glanced at Sun Jian, thinking that the other party wouldn't dare to use Li Xuewu's name to set him up.

The cost of doing so was too high; if Li Xuewu found out, he would definitely mess with him.

So following Sun Jian's words, he said whatever he had: "The small car team has always been managed by Li Kezhang Xu, belonging to logistics."

He scratched his cheek, glanced at Sun Jian, hesitated, and continued, "But with the structural changes these few days, the Zhou staff member sent from the Party Committee side came to my side and turned around."

"Who?"

Surname Zhou, and came from the Party Committee side; Sun Jian shouldn't not know him.

He frowned slightly, looked at Old Zhang, and pursued, "Is it Secretary Yang's secretary, Zhou Yong?"

"Yes, his name is Zhou Yong."

Old Zhang said softly with lowered eyebrows, "When he came, he looked at the maintenance workshop and asked about the situation of the small car team here; it seems he is in charge."

"Mm, mm, is that so~"

Sun Jian pondered and raised his eyebrows, asking again, "What's the situation with Li Kezhang Xu Shibiao?"

"Not very clear."

Old Zhang only said so much because of Li Xuewu's face; saying any more would be offending people.

It was fine to help Li Xuewu handle things, but the premise was that he couldn't get himself involved.

If Li Xuewu had come personally, naturally he would know everything and say everything.

However, Sun Jian used to be the factory director's secretary, and he hadn't heard that his relationship with Li Xuewu was very good in the Security Division.

Saying so much now was already enough; he wasn't willing to help Sun Jian do any tricks.

Sun Jian glanced at Old Zhang and nodded, considering he understood his meaning.

"Mm, mm, okay, I know about this matter."

He turned to leave, but still glanced at Old Zhang and said, "There's no need for what we said to be... right."

"Understand, I understand."

Old Zhang smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Just chatting~"

As he spoke, watching Sun Jian about to leave, he hesitated, but still opened his mouth, "Staff member Zhou came to my side from Deputy Group Leader Wang's side."

Sun Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, turned to look at Old Zhang again, and found that the other party had already entered the workshop.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking: This Old Zhang doesn't show his face on weekdays, but his grasp of the situation isn't low.

Being able to know that Zhou Yong came to this side after coming out of Wang Zongli's office, even if there was no one in the office, it was a convenient relationship.

Don't underestimate anyone; a small person doesn't mean small energy.

Sun Jian returned to the Security Building, first turned around the large office, and only then arrived at Li Xuewu's room.

He didn't sell any more mysteries and told Li Xuewu everything he had found out one by one.

This kind of thing should actually be done by Sha Qizhi, but he took the initiative to perform, and Sha Qizhi also hid away.

Of course, Sun Jian couldn't do this for everything; this matter just happened to be a coincidence, giving him a chance to offer flattery.

Li Xuewu naturally wouldn't refuse this kind of leaning, but he really didn't take his flattery to heart.

The art of governing subordinates lies in words and virtue.

Settle them in their positions, make them happy in their groups, attend to their duties, and build their names.

Although Li Xuewu wouldn't fish, his fishing technique was superb, especially skilled at fishing for people.

He had no special reaction to what Sun Jian said, even though he pointed out Wang Zongli's name, the pen in his hand remained very steady.

"Sorry, Director Sun, there's an emergency."

Just as they were talking, Sha Qizhi knocked on the door and walked in, stepped aside, and invited Xiao Zihong and Chu Yougong in.

Sun Jian's performance was interrupted, and he was very unwilling in his heart, but seeing both deputy group leaders of the Security Group come over, he knew something had happened.

He didn't stand on ceremony with Sha Qizhi and gave up his seat to the two deputy group leaders together.

Sha Qizhi walked to Li Xuewu's side and made a brief report: "Leader, someone is making trouble at the residential area housing distribution site, questioning the unfair distribution, with the focus on the housing area."

"Mm?"

Li Xuewu frowned when he heard this, glanced at Sha Qizhi, and asked, "Is it time to distribute houses again?"

"Yes, the project progress has accelerated, and the second batch of residential buildings can be delivered."

Sha Qizhi explained, "Deputy Director Gu is presiding over the work at the scene, and someone is leading the shouting in the crowd; the scene is in a mess, and the house distribution activity has been interrupted."

"Then..."

Li Xuewu looked at Xiao Zihong and Chu Yougong, paused, and asked, "Is this matter to be transferred to our side?"

"Cough, cough, it's a call from Deputy Director Gu, asking the Security Group to assist with the work."

Chu Yougong had already met Li Xuewu yesterday; today was their first time working together.

Seeing Li Xuewu put on an attitude of presiding over the work without giving way, he naturally had to answer if there was a problem.

"I'm responsible for security work for the first time and am somewhat unsure; I discussed it with Deputy Group Leader Xiao, and still decided to ask for your opinion."

"Yes."

Xiao Zihong nodded and said, "I haven't handled this kind of situation either, especially since it relates to the vital interests of the factory staff, so I'm also unsure."

Li Xuewu looked at the two of them, his eyebrows moved, and he didn't open his mouth in a hurry.

First, he threw two cigarettes to the other party, let them light them, and he himself grabbed the phone and asked for the Construction Management Office.

The Construction Management Office was now composed of some project management personnel from the original Engineering Division; they had just started work, and the sound of the phone was a bit chaotic.

But when Li Xuewu reported his name, the other side of the phone instantly became quiet.

"Is Deputy Group Leader Lang there?"

"Hello, Group Leader Li, our leader has gone to the scene."

The section chief who answered the phone changed, explained Lang Zhennan's whereabouts, and then began to introduce the situation of the residential building distribution to Li Xuewu.

Residential building construction belonged to the Construction Management Office, and the distribution work was also divided to this side.

Problems occurred today, the leaders above were angry, and their work wasn't easy to do.

Hearing it was Li Xuewu calling, this section chief was also panicked and hurriedly explained the situation.

After Li Xuewu finished listening, he hung up the phone; his face wasn't very good. Dealing with this kind of wide-ranging influence problem was a difficult problem no matter whose hands it was in.

Distributing houses to staff was originally a good thing, but first come, first served, and big or small houses, it was always hard to cut with one knife and satisfy everyone.

When the housing construction was being prepared, it was mentioned that the first three buildings to be built had to compress the housing area and reduce the installation cost of doors and windows.

This was to revitalize the residential area project; only by giving hope to the staff and those anxious for housing distribution could it roll like a snowball.

Now it was rolling, and with the feedback from trade projects and the commissioning and construction of several major projects, the residential area project didn't seem to be a problem anymore.

Gu Weijie proposed at the Party Committee meeting to accelerate the construction pace of the residential area project, so this batch of residential buildings appeared with buildings that didn't compress the residential area as usual.

Everything is afraid of comparison; they were happy looking at the twenty-square-meter residential buildings before.

Now that thirty-five-square-meter ones appeared, their hearts were unbalanced first.

Those who had already been distributed houses were making trouble, those who were distributed twenty square meters were also making trouble, and those who were lined up behind and afraid of being distributed twenty square meters were also following suit.

Otherwise, why would Gu Weijie be unable to suppress the scene? It wasn't to the point of public indignation, but there must be someone making trouble here.

The current Steel Rolling Factory doesn't allow chaos, and even less can it be swayed by factory staff on key issues.

That matter with the documents a few days ago had just been suppressed; if given wind again, who knows how many people might float up.

Li Xuewu frowned and thought, tapping his fingers on the table, looking at the two people sitting opposite, as well as Sha Qizhi and Sun Jian standing by the desk.

"Leader, should we ask the Engineering Planning Office to give an explanation?"

Sha Qizhi gave a suggestion from the perspective of the project, thinking that the Security Group should try not to intervene.

Chu Yougong didn't understand Li Xuewu's working style during his time in the Security Division; this time he came with the attitude of learning and understanding.

And Xiao Zihong was afraid, afraid that Li Xuewu would arrange for him to take the blame again, so he pushed Chu Yougong out directly.

Sha Qizhi spoke, and both of them glanced at Li Xuewu without the intention of discussing it.

Li Xuewu didn't answer Sha Qizhi either, but threw the fountain pen in his hand, which landed on the table with a clatter.

"We can't go on like this; there will be chaos."

He looked at the two opposite and said, "What is fairness, and what is unfairness, hmm?"

"Is it fair to live in a building first? Is it fair to enjoy housing benefits first? Is it fair to build houses the same way?"

"Absurd!"

Li Xuewu drooped his eyelids and said, "Then should the positions in the workshop also be made the same, with everyone having neither more nor less!"

"Everyone knows that the division of labor is different; don't they know that the benefits are different!"

Xiao Zihong looked at Li Xuewu, took a puff of his cigarette, and said, "This matter is somewhat troublesome. The order of housing distribution has already been set according to the points, and now that there are large and small numbers, there are always questions."

"Then eliminate the questions."

Li Xuewu tapped the table lightly and said, "Aren't you going to release the numbers? Tell the Construction Management Office to release the large-number buildings first; whoever pays more lives in the large-number buildings."

"Then... what about those who were distributed houses before?"

Chu Yougong opened his mouth and said, "They also feel it's unfair to do this; after all, they all spent money."

"Then move out of the current buildings and re-rank the numbers."

Li Xuewu said impatiently, "If you want to live in a large-number building, re-rank from behind; if you want to move forward, just spend more money."

"Spoiled habits!"

He looked at Xiao Zihong and said, "Chu Yougong just arrived at the Security Group and is still understanding the situation; it's more appropriate for you to come forward for this matter."

Xiao Zihong's eyebrows moved slightly; he wanted to avoid trouble, but didn't expect this matter to turn around and come to his side again.

He wanted to refuse, but didn't have a suitable reason.

Li Xuewu was the person in charge, Chu Yougong had just arrived, so it was really most appropriate for him to go.

Li Xuewu naturally wasn't letting Xiao Zihong take the blame; there was no blame to take for this matter.

"Show an attitude, don't be polite."

Li Xuewu drew a red line for Xiao Zihong and said, "Tell Deputy Director Gu that it's my opinion."

"Whoever thinks the current building is small, then automatically give up the current housing distribution qualification and re-rank behind!"

"Maybe there are foreign-style villas waiting for them behind; take your time!"

Seeing Li Xuewu say this, Xiao Zihong took a hard puff of his cigarette and asked, "The scale of handling the scene problems..."

"I said, don't be polite."

Li Xuewu emphasized, "You can talk to handle problems, and you can go through regular channels to reflect problems."

"But making trouble is not allowed!"

He tapped the desktop and explained to Xiao Zihong straightforwardly, "If someone makes trouble, catch them if you should, fine them if you should; if necessary, you can go through the detention and serious handling process!"

Li Xuewu's words were very serious and very earnest; the responsibility he should bear and the red line for handling problems were all clearly divided for Xiao Zihong.

Xiao Zihong didn't feel it before, after all, he had the experience of being pitted, but now seeing Li Xuewu truly in charge of the Security Group, the responsibility and dominance of a factory leader were revealed without doubt.

The three of them discussed the solution to the problem; Xiao Zihong, as the person in charge of emergency handling, took Sun Jian and Zhou Yao to the scene to preside over the work, and Chu Yougong was responsible for the subsequent investigation and pursuit of the problem.

Li Xuewu went out with his notebook after the two left.

Chu Yougong had just arrived at the Security Group; when a problem occurred, he didn't come to report to him, but went to Xiao Zihong's side first.

Xiao Zihong learned his lesson, knowing he couldn't fool Li Xuewu, and brought the other party to proactively report work.

Li Xuewu understood Chu Yougong's little thoughts and also saw Xiao Zihong's meaning; neither of them were good cakes.

When Xiao Zihong was alone with him before, he still had the look of a little daughter-in-law who was wronged.

Now that another concubine had come, did they really think they could restrain him by joining forces?

The poison beating Xiao Zihong received when he first arrived at the Security Division wasn't in vain; it seemed the projects that should be given to Chu Yougong couldn't be less.

People, sometimes, just don't have faces; only when it hits their bodies do they know it hurts, and know they shouldn't do it.

Li Xuewu had already pointed out the two just now, saying he wouldn't spoil those who made trouble, so naturally, he wouldn't spoil the two either.

This time it was considered opening the door to see the mountain; next time, what they see when opening the door will be a big stick.

The problems that appeared at the housing distribution site were also reflected to Li Huai; when Li Xuewu arrived at the office, he was getting angry.

"If you can't command, take them down; the Steel Rolling Factory isn't short of cadres."

Li Huai's eyebrows were also wrinkled, and he tapped his fingers on the table, speaking impolitely to Wang Zongli standing on the side, "Go coordinate with the Political Group and draft a list; each unit, department, and workshop, first get 30% of the people down to temper themselves; let's see if there's still trouble!"

"Leader."

Li Xuewu heard this tone didn't seem right; what was this about 30% of the people, and even letting the Political Group draft a list.

Seeing him enter the room, Wang Zongli turned around, a smile appeared on her face, and she greeted, "Deputy Director Li."

"Deputy Group Leader Wang."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and returned the greeting to her.
