Chapter 892: Heart aches for big brother~

"Third Aunt, you're doing quite well, aren't you~"

"Good, Li Xue has grown into a fine young lady."

Third Aunt smiled and took Li Xue's hand, glanced at Li Xuewu, and asked, "On another business trip?"

"Went to Yuezhou."

Li Xuewu only learned on the car that Third Uncle and Third Aunt's family had come to the station to see them last night.

But since Li Xuewu wasn't there, they had arranged to eat together tonight.

Third Aunt smiled and said it must have been hard work, urging Li Xuewu and Li Xue to go upstairs quickly, wash their hands, and eat.

It was dumplings again, but today's dumplings were clearly better than the time he came before.

It wasn't that the filling was better, nor the dough, but the atmosphere was better.

The knot in Third Aunt's heart had been untied, Third Uncle looked happy too, and during the meal, he kept urging them to drink, insisting they have some.

Li Xue knew her second brother's drinking capacity; she had watched him drink an entire table of people under the table the day before yesterday, so she quickly stopped Third Uncle.

Mentioning the banquet from the day before yesterday, Li Xue only thought of it as Third Uncle's home; the speaker had no intention, but the listener did.

As Third Uncle listened to her talk about who was there that day and what the scene was like, he only felt that his nephew was climbing higher and higher, with a limitless future.

Third Aunt's expression flickered slightly; clearly, she had still underestimated the second son of the eldest brother's family.

Her job had been arranged, so naturally, she was convinced of the influence of Li Xuewu's in-laws, but she had also overlooked the significance of the matter itself.

If Li Xuewu didn't have this status, even if his in-laws had more influence, how much face could they give her?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Li Xuewu a few more times.

Li Xuewu didn't mind these things; Li Xue had become much more cheerful over the past half-year, learning to be serious and rigid at work, and rarely relaxing at home.

Third Uncle's family were all his own relatives, there were no taboos in their speech, so he let her chat away.

Li Xuehan listened with great interest, especially imagining the table full of big shots, his second brother dominating the scene, settling them one by one—how remarkable.

He kept exclaiming in wonder, asking his second brother how he managed it.

Li Xuewu just smiled and looked at him, saying he wasn't at the age to learn how to drink yet.

Li Xuehan was no obedient child; he usually acted that way for his mother to see, but in reality, he had long since tasted his father's liquor.

He just thought it tasted spicy and wasn't anything wonderful.

Hearing his sister talk about things at the drinking table, he finally understood what drinking was used for.

So it was used to "dry" people!

Otherwise, why would they say "Gan" (Cheers/Dry) when they clinked glasses!?

Li Xue might have been homesick, or perhaps she was happy to see Third Uncle's family, her little mouth chattering away.

Li Xuewu didn't say much; after the meal, he stood on the balcony with Third Uncle, smoking and talking about the impending departure.

Li Xue, meanwhile, was chattering away happily with Third Aunt and Li Xuehan in the living room.

The distance from Jingcheng to Yangcheng was the rarity of Li Xuewu meeting Third Uncle's family a thousand miles away, and also his short letter of deep affection for his hometown and relatives.

In this era, even with fast transportation, the difficulty of balancing loyalty and filial piety always existed among relatives.

Li Xuewu understood Third Uncle's mood, accompanied him in talking a lot, and talked a lot about home.

The feeling of homesickness was a comfort; when sending the brother and sister back, Li Gan couldn't help but have moist eyes.

He was a man of iron, but looking at his nephew and niece, he couldn't help but miss his old mother.

The heart of a wanderer was a longing that the honey of a foreign land couldn't trap; it was the procedure whether one had achieved success or was lost and confused.

Li Xuewu was the same; away on business for half a month, missing relatives, friends, and good buddies.

The 27th, Monday.

In the morning, Li Huai De, accompanied by Jing Yunong and Li Xuewu, held a morning meeting for all resident personnel at the station.

He encouraged them to stick to their posts, do a good job in sales support for the trade fair, and create new achievements.

Afterwards, resident representative Gou Zirong made a statement, resolutely executing the leadership's expectations and requirements, with high standards, strict management, and striving to complete the trade fair tasks excellently.

After seeing the trade fair personnel off on the bus, Li Xuewu, together with Li Huai De, held the final work meeting in Yangcheng with Jing Yunong, who was in charge of the trade fair work.

At the meeting, Li Xuewu explained the key points of the projects he was in charge of and handed over the follow-up keys for continuing the trade fair work.

Especially in terms of continuous cooperation and relationship maintenance with foreign merchants and brother units, he made key explanations.

The trade fair work of the Steel Rolling Mill had to continue, connections needed to be maintained, especially with the several units in Yangcheng that had already finalized cooperation intentions, relationships needed to be maintained even more.

One couldn't just leave and let the relationship go cold; it wouldn't look good when trying to carry out cooperation later.

Before leaving, Li Xuewu also called these units separately to say goodbye and issue invitations to visit Jingcheng.

He was a very straightforward person, promising to cover everyone's food and lodging in Jingcheng, inviting them to come and have fun.

Regardless of whether people really intended to go, such an active invitation made people feel warm inside.

When you talk to them about cooperation again, even if they didn't go to your place, they would still remember your favor.

Interpersonal interaction was a very troublesome, yet very necessary social activity.

If possible, Li Xuewu would just want three or five confidants, eight or ten friends, and simple exchanges between relatives.

But as long as one engaged in social activities and participated in political work, lacking social interaction was equivalent to self-destruction.

What is social interaction?

Social interaction is face; it is when Li Xuewu accompanied Li Huai De to lead the team to wait for the bus, and many unit leaders came to see them off.

Today the Steel Rolling Mill was leaving, tomorrow it would be another unit leader leaving early; in Yangcheng, as long as the relationship was good, one had to go and see them off.

You say, is wasting this time useful?

Some people think it's useful, because at the railway platform, there were still people talking about work with Li Huai De.

And some people thought it was useless, like the girls from the cultural troupe; they had already packed their luggage and sleeper berths, watching those old men on the platform exchanging pleasantries, only feeling it was fake.

"Xiao Ling, are you washing your face?"

Zhou Miaomiao returned from the restroom at the end of the carriage, still holding a plastic washbasin in her hand.

This was something they bought at the trade fair; it looked very fashionable now, light and sturdy.

She called Zhou Xiaoling, mainly to ask if she wanted to use her soap; before getting on the bus, Zhou Xiaoling was still muttering about forgetting to bring soap.

Zhou Xiaoling sat on the seat by the carriage window, her hands supporting the small table, her gaze looking out the window, as if she hadn't heard her speak at all.

Zhou Miaomiao glanced at her, and followed her gaze to look out the window; it turned out that Deputy Division Chief Li was accompanying Director Li, standing there talking about things with leaders from other units who had come to see them off.

"Your eyes are full of him~"

Zhou Miaomiao deliberately waved her hand in front of her, causing Zhou Xiaoling to be startled, and then she began to act coquettishly.

"Ya~ what are you saying~"

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

Xiaoxiao kept clicking her tongue, holding the book she hadn't finished reading when she came, leaning against the bed, shaking her head at the two of them.

"You're still making fun of me~"

Zhou Miaomiao tapped Xiaoxiao's forehead, whispering in her ear: "Your hero is about to be snatched away by her!"

Xiaoxiao, however, didn't mind, looking at the book in her hand, pursing her lips and replying: "A hero has never belonged to just one person; I'm willing to see more people like him."

"You're quite noble~"

Zhou Miaomiao was tickled by Zhou Xiaoling, muttered a word, and turned back to laugh and play with Zhou Xiaoling.

Xiaoxiao glanced at the two of them, and looked out the window again; the pleasantries over there had ended, and the leaders had also boarded the train.

They were in the hard sleeper carriage, the leaders were in the soft sleeper carriage, separated by a door, separated by a mountain.

The train slid slowly along the tracks, heading north.

The return journey was not as tense as the trip there, but it was still very busy.

Li Huai De and Li Xuewu made full use of the conference room and office on the train, organizing the work brought back from Yangcheng.

October was about to end, the harvest brought back from the trade fair had to land steadily, and the work in Jingcheng had to be picked up again.

Li Haiyang and Sha Qizhi were also busy with people from the office; on one side was the material organization and summary handed down by Li Huai De and Li Xuewu, on the other side were the contents of the work meetings the two leaders had to carry out after arriving in Jingcheng.

During this period, Li Huai De and Li Xuewu held several small meetings, communicating and exchanging views on the issues of the Steel City industrial production base and the Jingcheng light industry production base.

And regarding the trade management center that had begun to be laid out in Jinmen, it also had to achieve overall adjustment and supplementation before the end of the year.

When the two were together, their work efficiency was surprisingly high.

One could see further, one was proficient in business; the problems submitted all had clear answers in the communication.

As the Deputy Director of the Management Committee, Li Xuewu also presided over the organization and formulation of Li Huai De's work plan for the next month.

Combined with the year-end summary, the work he arranged for Li Huai De was scheduled directly until the end of December, and even some long-term work had its deadline delayed until next year.

Li Huai De looked at that long list of work plans and also regretted letting Li Xuewu preside over this work.

This was just the basic work plan, not including what he requested to be done, nor including temporary changes.

Li Haiyang didn't dare to do this when making plans for him before; wasn't this the rhythm of tiring the leader to death?

But Li Huai De held a pencil and picked out work that could be handed over to other leaders, or thrown directly to Li Xuewu, but he couldn't find any.

It wasn't that projects couldn't be found, but the comments and reference information Li Xuewu noted at the back didn't allow him to let others do it.

In the middle of the night, he sat on the train, his mood the same as the noisy train sound, clattering.

To tell the truth, he really regretted thinking Li Xuewu was good material for a secretary before.

Arranged like this, which leader could stand it? No entertainment, no recreation?

Li Haiyang watched him frown, and his heart also clattered.

He submitted the overall framework to Deputy Director Li, including the work Director Li had to do in the plan.

But when the plan was returned from Deputy Director Li's hands, it had changed.

From a thin stack of paper, it had become a thick book.

You could say it was a work plan, but you would feel it was more appropriate to call it a work guidance opinion book for the Steel Rolling Mill for the next month and a half.

Actually, in Li Haiyang's view, if one really followed the work plan formulated by Deputy Director Li, Director Li didn't even need to be there; even tying a dog would work.

Just when Li Huai De was struggling, a "zila" sound suddenly came from the broadcast station on the train.

Before Li Huai De could recover, a full-train broadcast suddenly came from the usually quiet broadcast:

Today, our country successfully conducted a missile payload test, the missile operated normally, and the payload hit the target precisely at the predetermined distance, achieving an explosion.

"Weng~!"

The report in Li Huai De's hand fell onto the desk at once, and he could clearly hear enthusiastic cheers coming from the carriage in front.

Li Haiyang turned around abruptly, opened the compartment door, and the cheers came in more clearly.

And Deputy Director Li next door also walked out of the compartment at this time, looked at him with a face full of joy, and then walked into the leader's compartment.

"Good news~"

"Yes."

Li Xuewu responded with a smile, looking at Li Huai De with a face full of smiles, watching him mutter about the good news incessantly.

Li Huai De also couldn't sit still, listening to the cheers in the front carriage, and took Li Xuewu towards the conference room.

Just as they entered the conference room, they saw the Steel Rolling Mill employees pouring over from another carriage, everyone's faces full of cheers and excitement, extremely moved.

"Good news!"

Li Huai De waved his hand and said: "This is a response I have been thinking about for a long time, it is the proof of the Steel Rolling Mill's silent dedication!"

"Good! ~~~"

Actually, quite a few employees knew that the factory had taken on a secret project; regarding which aspect, they could guess it.

It was just that life scope and work environment were limited, so even if everyone knew, they didn't say it, only mentioning it a word or two during casual chat.

Now, this earth-shaking sound finally gave an answer to this topic.

And after this sound was earth-shattering, their spines suddenly stiffened, and their waists no longer needed to bend.

In this world, no one can bully us or intimidate us anymore!

In the carriage, everyone cheered, applauded, and some were moved to tears, biting their teeth and clapping their already red palms hard.

And the front carriage of the train was also cheering and celebrating; this moment was not only the victory of the Steel Rolling Mill people, but the victory of the people of the whole country.

Facts proved that what foreigners could do, our people could also do, and even do better.

Today we are lagging behind, tomorrow we will strive, and the day after tomorrow we will be determined to catch up!

Without the spirit of not admitting defeat, there would be no achievements today; without the efforts of the whole industry, where would the straightened spines come from?

People all say that when you are away from home, face is given by yourself; if you ask Li Xuewu, this face really must be given by yourself.

Returning from the conference room, Li Huai De couldn't suppress his excitement, called Li Haiyang to take some white liquor, poured a cup for Li Xuewu, and the two clinked glasses lightly; everything was in silence.

At the beginning of the year, the two went to the frontier, which was the best witness to this sound.

The monument of the era had taken root and stood firm; they were all witnesses and participants of history.

This cup of liquor from Li Huai De was a celebration, and also a thank you for Li Xuewu's support and accompaniment along the way.

After drinking it all, Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Our confidence is stronger, the industrial development process has turned a page starting today, entering a new era."

"Hmm."

Li Huai De smiled, naturally understanding the meaning in Li Xuewu's words.

He wasn't saying that after the sound, factories across the country could achieve technological innovation and industrial progress.

But that the development goals and directions, self-reform, and confidence in striving had to change.

Before, we were guarding; now, we have to strive, we have to fight.

Where the hearts of the people go, where the sword points, it is invincible.

After Li Huai De laughed, he sighed deeply: "Economic work might be even harder to do."

Li Xuewu's smile also gradually converged; thinking of the current international situation and the impact brought by this sound, he also clearly felt the pressure on trade cooperation.

This sound was still different from the previous one.

The previous one didn't have wings, now this one had wings, and who knows where it might fly.

What period is the most difficult for people?

It is the process of you standing up, bearing the pressure of yourself, and the external pressure.

The faster you stand, the greater the pressure.

During this period, all projects and all external environments will undergo qualitative changes.

"This is bound to appear."

Li Xuewu said with a firm gaze: "Nothing can stop it, and it cannot stop us from standing up."

"Even if it means giving up, even if it means striving for a few more years or decades, we must first solve the problem of the spine."

Li Xuewu's words went straight to the heart, making Li Haiyang and Sha Qizhi, who were standing at the door, feel like they had been enlightened, from their scalps to the soles of their feet.

Li Huai De also nodded to acknowledge this point, but he felt more sorry for the current excellent situation.

The rise of China today is bound to affect the change of the whole world pattern.

And the outside world, which has long been watching, will definitely make necessary responses to today's events.

He wasn't afraid, nor was he heartbroken about money, he just felt it was a pity.

But if you really want to discuss it, no matter when this sound rings, it is deserved.

The sooner the better, even without the trade fair, even without the opportunities gained this time.

Patriotism does not distinguish between high and low, rich and poor.

"Must be vigilant."

Li Huai De said slowly: "Find a way to contact Comrade Yunong, tell her, resolutely defend the basic principles of trade, treat the changes caused by this matter cautiously, and be vigilant at all times against interference from external factors."

"Understood."

Li Haiyang heard the leader finish speaking, and there were no other instructions, so he turned and went to the radio room.

Sha Qizhi walked into the compartment, poured tea for the two, and retreated to the door again.

Li Xuewu thought for a moment and said: "After returning to Jingcheng, the organizational structure of the Economic and Trade Leading Group Office should be improved as soon as possible."

"I suggest that a special office should be established for foreign trade work, fully responsible for intelligence collection, trade management, cooperation coordination, and other organizational work."

"Especially when docking work with other project management offices, it must play the role of managing what should be managed and providing comprehensive service."

"Hmm."

Li Huai De nodded, frowned and said: "You grasp this matter, see who is more suitable to be responsible for this business, and do it after going back."

After promising Li Xuewu's request, Li Huai De also reminded: "Pay serious attention to changes in the external situation, and have certain restrictive means when necessary."

"Especially in foreign trade, there must be no phenomenon of sewage flowing backward."

He was still relatively concerned about changes in ideology and consciousness, and even more worried that the development of foreign trade would cause some local negative feedback.

Li Xuewu took notes seriously, promised to organize research after going back, and carry out business learning and discipline learning for related problems.

Grasping ideology, grasping discipline, is not giving up foreign trade, but adjusting one's own form to cooperate in a better way.

Money was earned by Li Huai De himself through hard work, how could he bear to discard it?

Being so serious and so earnest is to protect these projects from landing steadily.

Denying this work is denying his trip this time, and also denying the factory management policy he has always insisted on.

Li Huai De won't be wrong, Li Xuewu won't be wrong, even if the external situation changes wrongly, they have to straighten these winds before blowing.

The train arrived in Jingcheng at one o'clock in the afternoon, and the two went to work at two o'clock.

Yes, the train arrived at the Steel Rolling Mill, met with the welcoming team, and then went to work.

Of course, only Li Huai De and Li Xuewu, as well as several cadres executing relatively important work, went to work; others had a day of rest.

Even the strictest factory has a human side.

They went on business, not for travel, so naturally, they had to have rest time.

Then why didn't Li Huai De and Li Xuewu have it?

They were still factory leaders!

Precisely because they were factory leaders, they couldn't rest, and they had to be busy.

Before getting off the train, Li Xuewu actually suggested Li Huai De rest for a day, even if he was busy, he had to adjust.

But Li Huai De just waved his hand and refused; although he didn't say anything, anyone could see the helplessness on his face.

The big pancake Li Xuewu drew for him was too big; if he didn't get busy, he really couldn't eat it.

Plus the conversation between the two in the carriage, he became anxious.

Li Xuewu said he wouldn't rest today and had to go to work, so he couldn't slack off even more.

So, except for Jing Yunong who wasn't home, Li Huai De called the leaders who were home together and held a briefing meeting.

On one hand, it was to report the achievements made in this trip to Yangcheng and the progress of trade work.

On the other hand, it was also to put forward work instructions in response to the current excellent situation and the external impact that would follow.

Old Li was clearly a bit anxious; returning to hold the meeting changed his previous principle of procrastination, omitting the pleasantries and formalities at the beginning, and going straight to the topic.

Li Xuewu made a project briefing at the meeting; as one project after another was proposed by him, the leaders at home were a bit numb.

So many big projects, and they were export-oriented projects that had already solved the approval procedures, which really gave them a fright.

In Jingcheng, they also learned that Director Li led the team to fame in Yangcheng and achieved results.

It was just that they didn't expect the results to be so good and the fruits to be so rich.

Cheng Kaiyuan's face was stiff, holding the project report and looking at it, really unable to speak.

And Xue Zhifu was relatively concerned about the work he was currently responsible for.

Regarding the infrastructure part, as well as service and logistics work, he put forward several suggestions and opinions.

The secretaries who went to Yangcheng with the Management Committee Office had all trained their combat effectiveness; as soon as he finished speaking, the other side had already made records, preparing the repair plan.

This kind of execution ability also spread throughout the Steel Rolling Mill organs as one meeting after another proceeded.

Everyone was spreading the report card brought back by Director Li, and also spreading that the Steel Rolling Mill was about to take off this time.

More people saw a different kind of spirit on the cadres who returned from Yangcheng with the group.

It was tension, it was speed, it was competence, and it was also a sense of crisis that time waits for no one.

Some people jokingly called this the Yangcheng phenomenon, and one had to adapt for a few days after returning.

But with a coordination order from the Management Committee Office, everyone's hearts were infected by this tense atmosphere.

Coordination:

The engineering department establishes an infrastructure office, establishes project groups for each project, and immediately executes the preparatory work for project infrastructure engineering.

The financial department establishes a project fund management group, divides and builds corresponding management accounts for each project and each management department, and completes the business docking work with the Oriental Times Bank of Hong Kong as soon as possible.

The personnel department adds 8,000 recruitment indicators to the recruitment plan, the recruitment standard is still strictly stuck at junior high school education or above, with professional skills preferred.

The recruitment time is unified and adjusted, divided into four times, and the recruitment and training plan is completed within one year.

No need to look at other coordination orders; just this long list of project engineering and the recruitment indicator of 8,000 people mobilized everyone's enthusiasm.

Who doesn't have a child at home!

As long as they have graduated from junior high school, they don't need to wait for distribution anymore; the factory's quota is here!

Workers naturally kept a close eye on the factory entry quota, while cadres kept an eye on these project management positions that were established.

The food industry is about to establish three branch factories at once, the electronics industry is about to establish more than a dozen production workshops, the small commodity and hardware factories have already started three shifts, and the Steel Rolling Mill's prosperous days are coming.

This doesn't count the auto parts production workshop that will cooperate with Jingcheng Chemical, and the yacht and cargo ship project in cooperation with Bincheng Shipbuilding and Italian yacht merchants.

The project contacted by Jing Yunong, Bincheng Shipbuilding and Yingcheng Shipbuilding cooperation, test development of ten-thousand-ton cargo ship project.

It is a test, not that they really want to build ships now; the infrastructure of Yingcheng Shipyard will be completed in March next year, and the official start of construction will be in May at the earliest.

The orders received in hand now are already scheduled for three years later; if they really want to build big cargo ships, it's really not worth it.

There is pressure on funds, and there is also pressure on the technical level.

Being able to build doesn't mean it's advanced; lagging behind means no competitiveness.

So Bincheng Shipbuilding combined with Yingcheng Shipbuilding, combined with the resources of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill behind it, started the project research of ten-thousand-ton cargo ships.

Both sides share technology, share results, and share resources.

Including mechanical parts that Yingcheng Shipyard cannot produce, all are provided with technical support by Bincheng Shipbuilding.

Bincheng Shipbuilding needs the support of special steel supply from the Steel City Steel Mill, including ship steel refined by the Steel Mill later.

It also needs product support including electronics industry, hardware industry, and other industrial fields.

Now the workers in the factory no longer mention the problem of children's employment arrangement; with such a large recruitment base, if you can't get in, you can only say your child is not excellent enough.

If you don't even have a junior high school graduation level, other people's children are clicking their way in, do you still have the face to find the factory and make trouble?

Li Xuewu only used one afternoon from getting off the train to getting off work to ignite the work enthusiasm of the whole Steel Rolling Mill.

It was equivalent to a big piece of fat meat placed in front of everyone, the kind that can be reached with effort.

After the bell for getting off work rang, Bu Qingfang took Wang Yajuan and Zhang Li into the office.

"Team Leader Li, really sorry."

Bu Qingfang greeted with a smile, shook hands with Li Xuewu who stood up to welcome them, and said: "I know you just came back today, it's very hard work, but we have an urgent matter here we want to ask for instructions on."

"Sit, sit down and talk."

Li Xuewu waved his hand, signaling Wang Yajuan and Zhang Li who followed her in to sit.

Wang Yajuan and Zhang Li saw Deputy Team Leader Bu sit down, so they thanked him and sat by the edge of the sofa.

"We have already done the inspection and research on the supplementary opinions for the cultural troupe you gave before you went to Yangcheng."

Wang Yajuan handed a document to Li Xuewu, explaining: "Professional colleges recruit 60 people, art groups absorb 40 people, and professional art outstanding talents 20 people."

"No need to be so strict."

Li Xuewu flipped through the list directory and related material introductions.

"Be bolder, the opportunity now is very rare, Director Li also has instructions, focus on investment for propaganda work."

He took the opened fountain pen from Sha Qizhi's hand and signed his opinion and name on the document.

Then he looked up at Bu Qingfang and the others and said: "Including personnel indicators, activity funds, logistics needs, etc., all can be floated a bit."

"Thank you, leader!"

Wang Yajuan and Zhang Li both laughed, especially Wang Yajuan, who took the initiative to thank Li Xuewu and took the application to look at it carefully.

Bu Qingfang also smiled slightly, didn't thank him, but her gaze was very sincere.

Li Xuewu supporting propaganda work is support for her.

Now the Steel Rolling Mill is a pen; without Director Li's promise, many businesses can't come down.

It is precisely because Director Li started to organize and rectify the office system that the deputy directors have also become serious.

Applications with relatively large consumption or weak business nature will be blocked.

Applications for new projects and special matters must go through the Management Committee Office, and the first step is to come to Li Xuewu to sign.

If Li Xuewu wants to block anyone's work and business, he can set obstacles just on the application.

This is also why Bu Qingfang followed when the propaganda mouth came to sign the application for the first time.

Zhang Li knew that the leaders still had things to talk about, pulled Wang Yajuan to take the initiative to say goodbye, saying they were going to prepare for the next step of work.

Li Xuewu pointed to Sha Qizhi, asking him to call the Management Committee Office to ask if Director Li was there; if so, let them go directly.

Bu Qingfang naturally understood the meaning in Li Xuewu's words, smiled and looked at the two.

Zhang Li also smiled and thanked him very sensibly, and also thanked Sha Qizhi for his hard work.

Sha Qizhi smiled and took the two to his office to make the call.

Li Xuewu could speak, which meant that this matter would definitely pass on Director Li's side.

So Bu Qingfang also thanked him, saying that with Li Xuewu in the Management Committee Office, their office's work would be easier to do in the future.

Li Xuewu smiled and teased her words, saying that if Factory Manager Xu heard this, he would be annoyed.

Bu Qingfang, however, wasn't afraid of the other party, smiled and said, let's drink together when he comes back to report on his work.

This heroine in the Steel Rolling Mill propaganda mouth has stood firm for so many years, absolutely having her superior skills.

This time the organizational structure adjustment, although she is not the main team leader, she is still the deputy team leader responsible for propaganda work.

Saying it is an organizational structure adjustment, actually it is Director Li setting up the frame, dividing the powers of the deputy factory manager and deputy secretary.

Now the five main team leaders are equivalent to the previous deputy factory manager and deputy secretary.

It's just that there is no factory leader title, but the work done and the scope managed are all at the deputy factory level.

Of course, there is also a difference between team leader and team leader; Dong Wenxue is still a team leader, who compares shoulders with him.

Li Xuewu is still a deputy team leader, isn't Bu Qingfang still coming to find him to report work?

Zhang Li and Wang Yajuan both saw this very clearly, knowing that after Li Xuewu concurrently served as Deputy Director of the Management Committee Office, his status was different.

Especially Wang Yajuan, who felt it most obviously; every time she came to find Li Xuewu, the other party would give her a different feeling.

This time coming to see Li Xuewu, she was a bit uneasy, especially since everyone in the factory was discussing the changes after the leaders returned.

After seeing Li Xuewu with Section Chief Bu, the first thing she saw was Li Xuewu's somewhat exhausted expression.

At that moment, even if he was young and promising, in a high position with great power, Wang Yajuan only felt heartache for big brother~

"Baba! Baba!"

As soon as the jeep stopped steadily at the courtyard gate, Li Shu's shouting came from inside the courtyard.

And when Qin Jingru opened the gate, her little figure flashed out from the door.

Seeing that the one standing by the car was Baba, she swayed and rushed over.

"Aiyou~"

Li Xuewu bent down and picked up his daughter, who looked like a meatball, saw her little face was red, and smiled and kissed her.

Li Shu was also very face-giving, not rushing to push him away, but reached out and touched Baba's face, as if confirming whether it was real.

Qin Jingru stood by the gate, watching Han Jiankun and Sha Qizhi move things into the courtyard, smiled and explained to Li Xuewu: "Knowing you were coming back, she started fussing about wearing clothes to wait for you as soon as the sun set this afternoon."

"Is that so~"

Li Xuewu bounced his daughter in his arms and asked: "Did you miss Dad?"

"Miss~"

Not having seen him for half a month, Li Shu's little mouth was quite nimble, and she could understand adults' words.

When Dad asked her if she missed him, she even knew how to use her little hand to indicate her chest, indicating that she missed him there.

The old lady watched the things being moved into the house constantly, kept saying it was hard work, and also smiled watching her grandson return.

"It went quite smoothly, right?"

"Smoothly, busy at the unit for a while."

Li Xuewu smiled and greeted Grandma, and smiled at Gu Ning who walked out wearing a thick coat.

Gu Ning also smiled slightly, looking dotingly at the interaction between father and daughter.

Li Shu was still wearing a plush hat on her head, paired with the thick cotton-padded jacket wrapped around her body, just like a rolling ball.

Because of her pregnancy, Gu Ning wasn't afraid of the cold, but she was still urged by the old lady to keep warm.

On the night of the end of October, the weather was already very cold, and she was also wearing layer after layer, just to see Li Xuewu at the first glance.

"Baba."

Li Shu looked at the uncles moving things with her big eyes; she had been here once this afternoon, she knew there was good food, and she was very active calling Dad this time.

The old lady tightened the hat opening for her and asked with a smile: "Is Dad good again this time? Did Dad buy good food~"

"Good~"

Li Shu still liked to pop out words one by one; hearing the lady say "good," she followed suit and said "good" too.

Qin Jingru was also helping; she had spent the whole afternoon tidying up the things moved by that truck this afternoon, and this was another truck.

Li Xuewu was afraid they would be cold, so he walked into the courtyard holding Li Shu.

"The day before returning, Li Xue and I ate dinner at Third Uncle's house; everyone is doing quite well."

Li Xuewu smiled and introduced the situation in Yangcheng to the old lady, knowing she was thinking about it in her heart.

Third Uncle hung up the phone at home, always reporting good news but not bad news, and it was the same here; the two of them felt heartache for each other.

This year the old lady didn't have time, and didn't know Li Xuewu would go to Yangcheng; if she had known, she would have made a pair of cotton shoes for her son no matter what.

At this moment, Li Xuewu was also fulfilling filial piety for Third Uncle, saying a lot of things about Yangcheng.

Li Shu couldn't stand the annoyance, broke free from Baba, and ran towards the new things in the house.

"Why are you like a little bandit!"

Qin Jingru couldn't see her for a moment, and this little guy had knocked over the big bag.

Does the Great Demon King care about that?

As long as it's something she wants to see, if the outer packaging is hard to open, she just violently dismantles the box.

Such a high bag, she couldn't see what was inside, so she pushed it over directly.

Qin Jingru wasn't afraid of her ruining things, just afraid that the bag would fall and hit her.

The old lady couldn't care about talking to her grandson, and went to hold her again.

The Great Demon King had grown up, her arms and legs were strong, and her body weight was sufficient; the old lady couldn't manage her anymore.

At this moment, the house was in chaos, and the whole family became lively as soon as Li Xuewu returned.

The heater in the kitchen had long been lit, the fireplace was still filled with firewood, and the house was warm.

Even if the main door was open and cool wind came in, it was still hot.

Sha Qizhi was in a hurry to go home, and was about to leave after unloading things with Han Jiankun.

Li Xuewu asked him to take things, but he didn't want them, only saying he had everything, and had sent them home this afternoon.

In the afternoon, Li Xuewu was busy with meetings, and it was Sha Qizhi who took Han Jiankun to pick up the things the leader bought from the train side and sent them home.

By the way, he also transported his own things back home, which counted as a kind of welfare.

Li Xuewu and Li Huai De had quite a lot of things, some they bought themselves, some others bought for them, and some sent by brother units.

There were all kinds of things, from all over the country, various local specialties.

Han Jiankun drove the factory's small truck and pulled a truckload this afternoon; there weren't many tonight, but they were all valuable things.

Knowing Li Xuewu liked calligraphy and painting, he bought quite a few at this trade fair, and others gave him many.

He was generous; as long as he knew someone, he would definitely send a big gift package.

And when others gave him return gifts, they also had to look at the value of the gift itself, as well as his status and position.

Calligraphy and painting, as long as they weren't too old, there were still many modern calligraphy and paintings at this time.

So box after box, Sha Qizhi moved many back.

On the train, he was deeply afraid of breaking them, so he kept them carefully.

Li Huai De saw it and found it strange, asked him about it, Li Xuewu didn't explain, and took the initiative to give him a few, but was refused by the other party.

Calligraphy and painting, you really can't say; you say it's precious, then it's worth thousands of gold; you say it's worthless, it's just a piece of rotten paper.

Li Huai De didn't understand calligraphy and painting, and couldn't tell good from bad even if given them.

So a gentleman doesn't take what others love, and he really didn't want them.

Li Xuewu actually really wanted to give them; if he didn't want them, there was no way; if he really gave famous calligraphy and paintings worth millions or even tens of millions to the other party to ruin, he would also feel heartache.

Wait for later, when Li Huai De knows to feel heartache and regret, he will take them out to dry.

Han Jiankun first sent Sha Qizhi home, would come back to eat in a while, and then the couple would go home together.

After sending the two out the door, Qin Jingru began to tidy up the pile of things in the house.

The old lady wanted to help, but was stopped by her, saying the things were heavy and would tire her.

"How heavy can it be~"

The old lady smiled and handed the little demon king to Gu Ning; just like Sun Wukong wearing the tightening headband, he was very well-behaved sitting beside his mother.

After settling Li Shu here, the old lady said to pick a smaller bag to tidy up, reached out to lift it, but couldn't lift it.

After Qin Jingru opened that bag, she discovered it was actually a cutting board.

"What kind of wood is this?"

Qin Jingru tried it and it was heavy; she lay on it and looked carefully, the texture was as fine as a needle.

"It really is, from so far away......"

She pouted a bit, and after seeing the old lady's gaze, she lowered her voice and said: "Buying a cutting board to play with......" ===== CHAPTER 893 =====
