Chapter 908: Green Tea

~35 min read 6,836 words

"It really is a very sumptuous reception."

"Thank you, Mr. Li; it looks delicious."

"I'll start eating now~"

At the noon reception banquet, Momotani Eriko was arranged by Nishida Kenichi to sit beside Li Xuewu, expressing her gratitude one after another.

They should express it like this; after all, this banquet prepared by the Imperial Cuisine Master himself was not something they could easily see in their own country.

Sha Qizhi had asked Li Xuewu for instructions on the details of the reception. Li Xuewu's requirement was to simplify the complex and highlight the novelty.

If you want to say how much insight the little devils have, he really couldn't be sure, but it definitely wouldn't be too much.

Especially regarding domestic cuisine, they might not necessarily know as much as Li Xuewu.

Eating well at noon is more important than eating full, and face is more important than substance, so it must highlight simplicity without being simple.

After Sha Qizhi understood, what he conveyed to the guesthouse side was, for example, take this radish; use the most primitive culinary skills to achieve the effect of imperial cuisine.

Then Zhang Songying's understanding was, don't be extravagant and wasteful when feeding them, otherwise they might think we are crying poor.

So when Momotani Eriko picked up a piece of carved carrot with her chopsticks, held it in the air with her other hand, and was polite to Li Xuewu, he was also trying hard to hold back his laughter.

He did indeed give instructions not to be extravagant and wasteful, but he wasn't that stingy. Seeing the other party eating with relish, Li Xuewu didn't know what to say.

Japanese cuisine itself has small portions, and the culinary skills are also crappy, so when they felt the return to simplicity of Imperial Cuisine, they were truly amazed.

But as the hosts, Li Huai De and Li Xuewu looked at each other after being surprised by their satisfied expressions.

Didn't everyone say the little devils had already started to get rich? How come they eat so poorly at home?

Li Huai De was also a bit suspicious of life. He picked up a slice of meat in front of him and tasted it; wasn't it still the original taste?

Comparing it like this, who exactly is the one in difficulty!

At first, he felt it was delicious when tasting Master Qian's craftsmanship, but later he got used to it and it was just so-so.

Now seeing the little devils eating fragrantly, he couldn't help but smack his lips, as if he had regained his interest in gourmet food.

"Mr. Li, I toast you."

Nishida Kenichi was very sensible and picked up the red wine in front of him to toast Li Huai De. He was clear about who was the number one in the Rolling Mill.

Li Huai De was also very polite, picked up the goblet, waved his hand to signal the other party, and said: "This wine has been treasured by me for a long time and has special effects. Taste it slowly."

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Li, for your hospitality."

Nishida Kenichi didn't take Li Huai De's words seriously. Chinese food indeed had its unique features.

But in terms of fine wine, especially red wine, he didn't think the interior had any superb technology that could surpass Western Europe.

He had drunk plenty of imported red wine in his own country, tasting both high and low prices, and considered himself someone who had seen it all.

He took a sip, tasted it, smiled slightly, and signaled to Li Huai De, as if the wine was really good.

Actually?

Actually, he was a bit disdainful in his heart, feeling that the interior's taste for red wine was just this low-end.

This quality of red wine was basically the kind seen everywhere in shops abroad. He didn't expect it to be treasured by the interior; it was truly short-sighted.

He was an old oil stick, so his inner disdain naturally wouldn't be shown on his face.

With a smile on his face, he was still being polite to the others in the Rolling Mill.

Today's reception banquet didn't just have Li Xuewu; the leaders at home had all received invitations.

However, Deputy Director Cheng had something to do and didn't come, but Deputy Director Gu and Deputy Director Xue were present.

The two had tasted Director Li's red wine and knew it wasn't any good stuff. Seeing Nishida Kenichi wanting to take the initiative to toast, they both picked up their white wine glasses first.

"We like to drink this."

Gu Weijie had thought about it. Although this white wine tasted a bit... um, indescribable, it was ultimately a high-quality product and didn't have any strange effects. Drinking a little more was better than going home and blushing secretly after drinking red wine.

Xue Zhifu's hand reaching for the wine glass was as far away from the red wine at hand as if it were a poisonous snake. He also chose the white wine glass.

Last time he drank that red wine with Li Huai De, he was scolded by his lover when he got home for being an old lecher, and she even said he was putting on an act before and refused to put in effort...

Oh my, he really didn't want to experience this kind of experience a second time. Even when his lover asked him about the wine, he kept his mouth shut.

At this age, if he really caused a human life, he would be laughed to death by his future eldest daughter-in-law.

"Mr. Li, may I toast you?"

Momotani Eriko saw that the wine table had already started the polite process. Seeing that it hadn't reached Li Xuewu's side yet, she took the initiative to pick up the wine glass, bowed slightly, and toasted politely.

Li Xuewu saw that she first picked up the red wine glass. He had the heart to learn from Li Huai De's words and persuade her again, but he was afraid of the opposite effect, so he could only accompany her for a sip.

He was a bottomless pit when it came to drinking; as long as it didn't enter his mouth, what strange effects could affect him.

Maybe it was the effect of the alcohol, or maybe it was extreme satisfaction with the dishes, but the atmosphere in the restaurant became enthusiastic.

Especially after three rounds of drinking and five flavors of dishes, Li Xuewu clearly observed that the Japanese representatives and Li Huai De and the others all had reactions.

Of course, he had no interest in observing their hobbies in certain places; the reactions he mentioned referred to the eyes of the few.

Nishida Kenichi was also a bit strange. He clearly only drank a little red wine, so why was the reaction so big?

It wasn't to say he was dizzy, nor was it alcohol flushing his face, but it was on... hiss~ it was on a place where red wine shouldn't be!

What kind of logic is this?

He felt the changes in himself. After looking at his companions, he found that they also looked over with this strange look, which made him feel even more weird.

His gaze swept across the red wine glass in front of him, and only then did he remember the words said by this Director Li when toasting just now.

Hiss~ Chinese fine wine really lives up to its reputation!

Not only does white wine possess unique flavors, but even in red wine brewing, it has such magical effects?!

If so, then this wine can really be called a treasure!

"Thank you~ thank you~"

Momotani Eriko's face was flushed red. I don't know if it was the effect of the alcohol or her heart beating wildly. Facing Li Xuewu's toast, she bowed and thanked him incessantly.

"You can taste our white wine."

Li Xuewu took the initiative to pour her a little white wine, but his words were directed at Nishida Kenichi and the others: "The project we invested in building this year includes a century-old classic white wine."

"Is it Maotai wine?"

Ninomiya Kazuya looked at Nishida Kenichi, held the white wine in his hand to signal Li Xuewu, and asked tentatively: "If the news I heard is not wrong, your factory is cooperating with Wufengxing?"

"It seems Mr. Ninomiya's news is very well-informed~"

Li Xuewu smiled and didn't deny his words, but looked at Li Huai De and suggested: "I hope that our reception wine will be replaced by our own wine in the future."

Not only did Li Huai De take these words to heart, but Nishida Kenichi and the others sitting opposite also kept them in mind.

"I don't know if your side's winery..."

He just wanted to open his mouth, but was suddenly interrupted by Li Xuewu: "Mr. Nishida is also interested in our white wine?"

"Oh... oh, yes."

Nishida Kenichi hesitated for a moment, his thinking had time to ease, and then he opened his mouth again with an apologetic tone: "I just like fine wine, I couldn't help myself, and I didn't have any other meaning."

"It doesn't matter."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly, his tone somewhat meaningful, saying: "Beautiful things all have temptation; if you aren't blinded, you are captivated. Don't you think so, Miss Momotani?"

"Ah~!"

Momotani Eriko didn't expect Li Xuewu to suddenly turn his head and talk to her. It was as if she had been caught peeking, her face instantly turned red by more than one shade, and her answer to Li Xuewu's question became stumbling.

Seeing Li Xuewu's somewhat playful and bad smile again, she became shy and lowered her head to whisper an apology.

It seemed that the little devils were used to apologizing and preferred to use apologies to express personal emotions that were difficult to handle. Just during this lunch banquet, Li Xuewu couldn't count how many times she had apologized to him.

This woman was definitely not as simple as she looked on the surface. From the sense of proportion she showed in the conference room and at the wine table, it could be seen that she was also an old actress.

Her cooperation with Nishida Kenichi and the others couldn't be said to be un-tacit. Even if she was a beautiful vase, she would appear very accurately and exert the role a vase should have when they needed her.

And the embarrassment of Nishida Kenichi and the others also returned to normal because of Momotani Eriko's smiles, pouts, and playfulness. Li Xuewu expressed full understanding of this point; after all, this nation was accustomed to standing behind women and letting women bear everything.

Look at how the little devils fawned over the Ugly Father after the war; how many women walked onto the streets and walked into the Ugly Father's station.

Of course, you say this is bad, that is bad, but their average height increased sufficiently during this period, and they harvested a batch of exotic bloodlines.

What is the point?

The point is that women like Momotani Eriko chose to obey, chose to dedicate, and also chose the lives these cowardly men planned for them.

Then Li Xuewu would pity her?

Don't dream. Li Xuewu pity her? She might still be pitying Li Xuewu in her heart!

Li Xuewu had seen too many women like this; some were pretending to sleep, and some were truly asleep.

Waking them up was impossible, and he wasn't a hotel front desk providing wake-up services.

They had their own unique values and orientations, and they might be happy with such arrangements of fate.

Therefore, at the wine table, Li Xuewu toasted Nishida Kenichi and the others, and he wouldn't leave her out either.

He fully demonstrated the cultivation of a gentleman and let the other party drink quite a bit of red and white.

Momotani Eriko also discovered the mystery of red wine, and her heart was pounding like a little deer.

With her life experience, it shouldn't be like this. The admiration she showed for Mr. Li was all work.

However... what is the situation now?

Could it be that she fell in love with the other party unknowingly, or was conquered by the other party's charm?

Red wine goes to the heart, white wine goes to the head. She was also dizzy now. Her heart seemed very clear about her professional qualities, but what was the situation with her body's initiative?

She truly suspected that there was a problem with this wine, but it was all poured from the same bottle.

Not only did she drink it, but the leaders of the Rolling Mill, her leaders, and Mr. Ninomiya and Mr. Nakamura all drank it!

Mr. Li also drank it; why was he fine?

If you say there is a problem with this wine, it shouldn't be just her who had a problem; everyone should show abnormalities...

Hmm?

Seems wrong!

Just when she was scanning and observing everyone at the banquet, she suddenly found that the eyes of Mr. Nishida and the others were all glancing at her body.

This is... three... four... ah?

Li Xuewu was of course clear about the effect of this red wine, but it hadn't reached the level of tiger bone wine stock solution.

Li Huai De had once drunk the blended one, and the effect was "lever-lever" (excellent). Note, this is a specific adjective.

On this batch of red wine, Li Xuewu had already learned the lessons from the previous blending, so how could he dare to add more.

So these people having reactions was also because they drank too much and the atmosphere at the dining table was good.

Then there was the catalysis of white wine. Everyone was a bit drunk. Under the relaxation of nerves, it was inevitable to... that thing.

"What was the situation at the entrance this morning?"

Standing in the courtyard of the guesthouse, the sun was setting in the west, and there was quite a bit of water vapor in the air, as if it was about to fog up.

At this moment, there was no one else in the courtyard. After the foreign businessmen left, the place returned to its usual peace and tranquility.

Han Yating glanced upstairs at the guesthouse, where a meeting was still being held.

Precisely because there was no one else here, she hesitated for a moment and said: "It's not convenient to say the specific situation, but things are not as simple as they appear on the surface."

"I know what you mean."

Qin Huairu pursed her lips seriously and said: "Someone was watching outside the wall this afternoon; is that the reason too?"

"It can't be determined yet; we have to wait for the leadership's instructions."

Han Yating was also in a difficult position. This kind of thing was not convenient to say, and there was no way to communicate with Qin Huairu.

As the two were talking, Yu Daru led people out of the guesthouse lobby, and Zhang Songying followed to see them off.

"Li Kezhang Yu."

"Why are you here? It's so cold."

Yu Daru had a good temper of pitying the fragile, joked, and gestured to Han Yating, saying she could find him if she had anything.

Han Yating rolled her eyes. This guy had been pestering her since the morning, saying he wanted to be the godfather of her child.

He also said how good his relationship with Ji Wang Weidong was, how compatible they were, and that they should recognize a god-relative first, and maybe they could become in-laws in the future.

She didn't want to become in-laws with him at all. Just looking at his appearance, what kind of good-looking child could he produce?

Don't look at Ji Wang Weidong not having a proper shape on weekdays, but he really looked quite handsome.

Just think, what did Li Xuewu's original face look like? Could the treasure who could be with Ji Wang Weidong look bad?

Oh, right, there was also someone called Huang Gan, who was in the detention center. He spoke carelessly, but he was also handsome.

If you want to say birds of a feather flock together, it's not quite appropriate, but "birds of a feather" isn't enough to describe the chemical effect these few people could produce when gathered together.

Don't misunderstand; even if it's a chemical effect, it's not positive. Looking at these three people individually, they could still look like good people, but gathered together, they were a "gang."

Watching Yu Daru get in the car and leave, Qin Huairu estimated that the meeting upstairs was almost over.

Zhang Songying hugged her arms; she was wearing little and already felt cold.

"Was he coming out of the conference room? How is it upstairs?"

"He was talking to Deputy Director Li."

Zhang Songying gestured for the three to enter the lobby and explained while walking: "Deputy Director Li went back to the conference room after talking to him. I don't know when it will end."

"It won't be late."

Qin Huairu glanced at the sunset behind her and said: "The guests are gone; what else could there be to be busy with?"

These words were said in reverse. The two who heard it also understood her meaning in their hearts and each fell silent.

The atmosphere of the noon banquet was excellent, and the guests who came from afar couldn't help but drink a little too much, so the afternoon meeting was held after a two-hour break at noon.

The discussion time for the afternoon meeting was also very short. These people went in for less than two hours and all came out.

First, Director Li led Deputy Director Li to send off the foreign businessmen and the foreign affairs department personnel.

And the staff responsible for negotiations and docking, after preparing for the next work meeting, notified Director Li and others to continue the meeting.

The meeting was presided over by Director Li. The leaders at home all came here to hold the meeting, including the project teams corresponding to today's projects.

And Li Xuewu didn't enter the conference room at the beginning, but held a discussion meeting with Yu Daru about today's security situation and work.

No one knew the result, and even less could see any clues from the expressions of Yu Daru and Li Xuewu.

These two, one was a professional confidential personnel, and the other was a professional workplace actor. If you really believed their surface dynamics, your underwear would be cheated away.

Just as Qin Huairu said, the meeting upstairs didn't last for a long time. Li Huai De's meeting habits were now also influenced by Li Xuewu, getting rid of the trivial and becoming concise and capable.

As long as it was a work meeting, it was all dry goods. Whatever work it was, discuss whatever work it was. Not a single fart word needed to be said.

Especially with Li Xuewu as the meeting host, he named and didn't name people for criticism in several project work meetings. This kind of empty and flashy style really changed.

In the office system reform with the Management Committee Office as the core and the participation of all Rolling Mill office institutions, the first thing determined was the reporting mechanism.

Reporting materials in the style of the eight-legged essay in the past would all be beaten back by the Management Committee Office. Whatever matter needed to be reported, it should be reflected concisely and clearly in the materials, and excessive explanations should be strictly avoided.

Although Li Xuewu didn't put forward the clear goal of seeking truth from facts, he had already communicated and discussed it with several deputy directors of the office.

Precisely because of the unremitting efforts of the Management Committee Office, work meetings were held for shorter and shorter times, and work efficiency was improved time after time.

Actually, Li Huai De didn't like to talk at length at meetings either. His time was very tight. Instead of wasting it on talking, it was better to use it to communicate with... uh... the leaders above.

So when the last bit of residual sunset disappeared, the door of the conference room was finally opened.

"Tell Steel City to prepare this matter as soon as possible. I can't fight for more time for him."

"Also."

Li Huai De said while walking, and explained to Li Xuewu who was walking beside him: "You should keep an eye on the progress of this project recently and must ensure that all key points land smoothly."

"Yes, I will contact Director Dong of Steel City later and coordinate with relevant offices to make preparations."

Li Xuewu waved his hand to signal Peng Xiaoli who was following behind to take notes, and he himself followed Li Huai De downstairs, whispering the situation of his communication with Yu Daru just now.

Li Huai De, who walked to the first floor, looked as cold as frost and signaled Li Xuewu to go to the service office together.

The duty personnel in the service office didn't know what had happened, and were called out by Zhang Songying.

This place faced the guesthouse lobby, and the two had space and privacy when talking, so there was no fear of others disturbing them.

"Judging from the current situation, the few people at the entrance were all deliberately provoked and arranged."

Li Xuewu's voice was very steady, and he said word by word: "Although they all made reasonable explanations for the situation at the scene, the Confidential Department found during the investigation that they all understood today's negotiation activities through different channels, which is very abnormal."

"I know about this matter; don't investigate any further."

Li Huai De's face was cold, and even his voice was a bit icy.

His gaze scanned the lobby direction, making people passing by feel like they were on pins and needles.

This time, Old Li was truly angry. Unlike the past, this time the other party wanted to put him to death.

But he didn't have much room to maneuver. The reason was very simple: he was the one in charge now.

Li Huai De was in charge of the Rolling Mill now, so of course he had to bear the responsibility of the person in charge.

It would be fine if something happened below, but if a problem arose because of the struggle at the factory leadership level, I'm afraid he himself would be affected.

It was nothing more than the promotion opportunity this year being ruined, or the Rolling Mill being upgraded while he stayed in place, and another fierce tiger coming.

So Old Li saw the current situation very clearly. What would happen if the matter was investigated clearly? It couldn't solve the person causing trouble, and wouldn't it be a kind of damage to his prestige?

Furthermore, did he need the investigation results to judge the opponent now?

He hadn't reached the point of being pedantic. If he really wanted to take action, he would have done it long ago, so why let the other party jump up and down?

The most critical thing was that he now needed to stabilize the pressure from above and ensure the rapid development of the Rolling Mill.

It could be said that within half a year, Li Huai De would absolutely not take the initiative to draw blood, at least until the Rolling Mill was successfully promoted and he successfully realized his life's grand wish.

By then, no one would be able to interfere with what he wanted to do, and even the people above wouldn't have a reason to persuade him.

Before that, he still had to pretend, pretend to be a generous good person, and still had to be an old good person.

Because he was always pretending to be a good person, wasn't he just an old good person?

Li Xuewu had the heart to cut the other party, at least to cut off the other party's claws.

He of course understood Old Li's situation, otherwise it wouldn't be cutting the other party's claws, but cutting the other party until they couldn't find their teeth.

Regarding the current tense situation in the Rolling Mill, he didn't have any good methods either.

If he couldn't act willfully and didn't want to lower his status, he could only do it little by little.

Of course, Li Huai De wanted to destroy the other party little by little, and the other party also wanted to fight with him little by little.

Looking at Old Li's critical period of nirvana, the other party not only had a keen sense of smell but also had expert guidance and the support of restless people below.

Li Huai De scratched his eyebrows, turned to look at Li Xuewu, and asked: "Is the security team too quiet? You have a lot of work now, so don't slack off on the work there."

Li Xuewu's eyebrows jumped when he heard Old Li's words. This old kid wouldn't be thinking of pushing him out to consume with the other party for a while, would he?

If you really want to talk about it, Li Huai De might also have this idea.

Li Xuewu's combat effectiveness was known to everyone in the factory. When he was really serious, he even dared to arrest the deputy factory director at the time, let alone the current deputy director.

The key was that only Li Xuewu could take the field to fight with the other party with equal strength.

However, Old Li was also a bit worried. It wasn't that he was afraid the other party would cripple Li Xuewu, but he was afraid that Li Xuewu would really get anxious and pull the other party off the horse.

The reason why he didn't want to take action at this time wasn't because he didn't want someone to fall and affect his progress.

This situation was too common. When the person in charge encountered a stirrer, in some cases, not only could he not move him, but he also had to stabilize him.

As for how to deal with it later, let's not talk about it for now, but he couldn't move him now.

So whether to play Li Xuewu's card, he was also very hesitant.

The power of this king bomb was too great; if he didn't handle it well, he could blow himself up.

Another thing was that Li Xuewu's background was extremely complex. In just one year, the other party already had a relatively deep work background and important social influence.

So when this problem appeared, Li Huai De also wanted to probe Li Xuewu's attitude.

Where would Li Xuewu be willing to be used as a gun for others? He was the one using guns to stab others.

"It's a good thing the security team is idle; problems only arise when leaders are idle."

He answered Li Huai De's probe with a double entendre, and when the other party's eyes moved, he reminded softly: "The secretary and factory director of our factory are the ones who are idle."

"Oh?"

Li Huai De's eyes lit up, he smiled slightly, looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "Your family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine. Let me ask you, when a person gets older, is it suitable for quiet recuperation or active movement?"

"You're making things difficult for me~"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "If I dared to call myself a family of traditional Chinese medicine outside, my father would be able to chase me for half of the capital with a stick."

"But if you want to talk about retirement~"

His eyes were somewhat meaningful as he said: "My opinion is to move around. It's easy for people to let their imagination run wild when they stay in one place, and it won't be worth the loss if they make a mistake."

"Makes sense~"

Li Huai De nodded slowly and said: "That's it. You're busy, so I won't delay your time."

As he said this, he gestured toward the direction of the guesthouse private room and said: "Are you in a hurry to go home tonight? The leaders of the Glass Factory are coming. Shall we drink some more together?"

"Better not~"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "If you take me, wouldn't they think you're using public office for private revenge? Director Sun has already sworn that he will never drink with me again."

"Hahahaha~"

After setting the plan, Li Huai De's mood was much brighter. He walked out of the service office with Li Xuewu, saw Han Yating standing by the lobby, and even pointed at her to remind Li Xuewu: "Han Kezhang's situation is special, so you should make arrangements as soon as possible."

"Hello, leader."

"Good morning~"

Han Yating saluted the two when she heard the leader mention her. People around looked over and all stopped their voices, observing the situation here.

Li Xuewu looked at Han Yating and smiled slightly, saying: "I didn't plan to be in a hurry originally, but since the leader is concerned, I'll ask for you."

He turned to look at Li Huai De, his voice wasn't very light, but it was very calm, asking: "What do you think about Han Kezhang going to the Six Nations Hotel?"

"Hmm? Hmm! ~"

Li Huai De was stunned at first, but then felt that this idea was very good.

Whether it was from the perspective of cadre training or from Han Yating's own situation, going to the Six Nations Hotel was a good choice.

Another reason was Ji Wang Weidong's identity. His identity was special, which made Han Yating's identity special as well.

It didn't matter if he didn't know before, but after meeting Ji Wang Weidong's mother in Yangcheng, how could he still pretend to be deaf and dumb?

It wasn't appropriate to show excessive concern for Han Yating, but appropriate care was necessary.

Now that Li Xuewu took the initiative to mention it, he also nodded and said: "I think it's feasible. The Six Nations Hotel needs someone who can hold the fort."

"That's you."

Li Huai De said to Li Xuewu jokingly: "It's not easy to cultivate a cadre, so aren't you going to feel heartache? Hehehe~"

"Pfft~ I'd rather feel heartache than have you have a headache~"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Including me, we are all bricks of the Rolling Mill. We move wherever we are needed. There is no question of who cultivates and who uses."

"Hmm, this work attitude is good."

Li Huai De pointed at Han Yating, who was smiling, and said to Li Xuewu that he said he was stingy.

"Thank you for your love, leader."

Han Yating saluted Li Xuewu again, expressing her gratitude.

This wasn't because of their relative relationship, but because of their journey of meeting from the beginning of work, later working together, and improving together.

Li Xuewu waved his hand with a smile and gestured toward Li Huai De, saying: "You have to thank the leader; it was Director Li who promised you. Why are you so unobservant?"

It was a tone of criticism, but anyone could see his support and concern for Han Yating.

Han Yating also obediently saluted Li Huai De, but Li Huai De laughed and pointed at Li Xuewu, saying he said he was stingy.

The two walked out talking and laughing, and he also reminded Li Xuewu to pay attention to the construction and training mechanism of the cadre echelon.

Not only must a healthy order of the cadre echelon be realized within the security team, but an active role must also be played in the training of backbone echelons of the Management Committee.

Li Xuewu answered with a smile one by one, and Peng Xiaoli, who followed, took notes and followed Li Xuewu to send Li Huai De to the car before he left.

After the sedan left, Li Xuewu turned to look at Han Yating and asked with a smile: "Did you get what you wanted?"

"I'm not in a hurry."

Han Yating combed her hair by her ear and said with a smile: "I know you were prepared early on, and I don't feel lost."

"Is the problem with me then?"

Li Xuewu looked at her amusedly, then waved to Zhang Songying and the others to come over; he had a few words to explain.

First, regarding today's reception work, he expressed his gratitude for their hard work and support today in front of the three people: Qin Huairu, the person in charge of the guesthouse; Han Yating, the person in charge of the security section; and Sha Qizhi, the person in charge of foreign affairs.

He also commented and explained the problems exposed in the work, hoping that they would go back and review and summarize their experience.

When talking about specific work, Li Xuewu also emphasized that similar receptions would happen in the future and might become the norm. He wanted the three persons in charge to coordinate and come up with a specific routine reception plan.

Then there was the situation of the management structure of the Six Nations Hotel under construction. He named Han Yating and Zhang Songying.

On his side, he had actually arranged them as the persons in charge of the foreign reception hotel long ago.

It was just that the security section hadn't completed the handover, and the management personnel were about to appear to have a gap, so it was inevitable that it would be delayed.

Today, taking advantage of Li Huai De's initiative, he let Han Yating know her future transfer direction.

Of course, telling her didn't mean she would be arranged to go there 100%. Explaining in advance was also to let her prepare for handover at any time.

Li Xuewu had put effort into Zhou Yao's training. Including this trip to Yangcheng, he had tried his best to keep her there for training.

With the rapid changes in the situation at the Rolling Mill, conventional security-type cases were escalating and mutating, and there would rarely be cases that required special handling by the security department.

Therefore, the development of more extensive contact and learning activities, as well as facing the problems that appeared in the learning activities, became the first work for Zhou Yao to practice.

Now the learning activities in Yangcheng were in full swing, and she could deeply feel this enthusiastic atmosphere there.

Everyone had their own thoughts and cognition about learning activities, and Li Xuewu wasn't afraid that her work direction would go astray.

Because first of all, there was Jing Yunong there, who had the ability to guide security work.

Secondly, the exhibition activities were supervised and concerned at all times, so it was not easy for special situations to appear.

Finally, there was Zhou Yao herself. After receiving three months of internship training in Red Star Village, she also had a full understanding of the future.

Especially in terms of ideology, the ideological education on the mountain inherited the training context of the Third Regiment, which was clear and vertical, and it was impossible for any deviation to appear.

After Zhou Yao's training in Yangcheng, she could officially take over the security section by virtue of this action when she returned.

And Han Yating could also free up her body to participate in the preparation work of the Six Nations Hotel.

Of course, by then, she might participate in the work directly after going there. After all, according to Li Huai De's idea, the goal of opening the hotel by the end of this year must be realized.

And whether Zhou Yao could successfully take over the post after returning also became the key to whether Han Yating could successfully transfer.

Just when Li Xuewu gave work requirements to Zhang Songying and Han Yating, the two had already looked at each other, each showing a friendly expression.

This wasn't very surprising. Zhang Songying knew her ability and level very well and couldn't bear the heavy responsibility of the Six Nations Hotel's regular position at all.

But she felt aggrieved if someone else came to sit in this position. After all, the preparation work for the hotel had always been done by her.

Others came to pick up a bargain, so it was inevitable that she would feel like her peaches had been picked.

But it was different if Han Yating came, because the other party was not a "professional" reception manager, which wouldn't pose a great threat to her business management.

Although she wasn't from a professional reception background either, the long time she worked in the guesthouse and the experience of visiting and learning in Yangcheng made her full of energy and ideals for future work.

Han Yating was pregnant now, so she still had to take the lead during pregnancy and childbirth, and the two had gotten along well before, so working together would definitely be much stronger than others.

What satisfied Zhang Songying the most was that Han Yating was a cadre who jumped over from the security team. Do you know what this means?

This means that Han Yating could jump from the security team to the reception unit, and could jump from the reception unit to other units.

Why did she think of this point instantly when she heard Li Xuewu say he was arranging Han Yating to come to the Six Nations Hotel?

Because compared to her, Han Yating had more ability and a background relationship, and would definitely not be confined to the circle of the reception unit; she was definitely going to move up.

Giving her a few years in the Six Nations Hotel was convenient for the other party to take care of her children and family, and also gave her sufficient room for growth.

She had wanted to ask Li Xuewu how he arranged the Six Nations Hotel before.

Li Xuewu had never told her. Today, this matter finally settled, and her fantasy of seizing power was also shattered.

Although there was a little bit of loss, her coveting for this position wasn't that strong to begin with.

So when Li Huai De and Li Xuewu were talking about this, Zhang Songying adjusted her mentality in an instant, and she had already prepared in her heart how to get along well with Han Yating.

With her relationship with Li Xuewu, it wasn't difficult to want to know Han Yating's background. She was the one who took care of Han Yating in the hospital when she was assassinated.

Including Han Yating's unreliable partner, she had also heard about it from Li Xuewu.

The two had a very deep foundation for cooperation. Whether it was from their relationship or from Li Xuewu's side, at this moment, the political pattern of a certain area of the Rolling Mill was about to change again.

Furthermore, the main work of undertaking the Rolling Mill's mechanical equipment and technology introduction was handed over to him.

"Good morning~"

After Li Xuewu went to work, he answered greetings countless times along the way, but every time he tried his best to use his most realistic voice to respond to the other party.

On the third floor, he met Xiao Zihong, who had just arrived at the office. Hearing the other party invite him to taste new tea, he also went there happily.

Peng Xiaoli sent Li Xuewu's briefcase back to the office, organized the office documents, handed over work with the secretary who came to dock work with the Management Committee Office, and chatted for a while, then started to get busy with his own work again.

Where would a secretary have his own time? Now he had to rush manuscripts and read documents when he went home after work.

Generally speaking, important manuscripts were written down with a few key points on paper by Li Xuewu, and the rest were completed by him.

And activities that were not very important were completed by the Comprehensive Office as a first draft, submitted to him for review, and then submitted to Li Xuewu for confirmation.

But Peng Xiaoli was a strong person, and every day there was new pressure falling on his shoulders as Li Xuewu's secretary.

Especially after reading Li Xuewu's past articles, he felt that there were too many places he needed to learn.

So as long as he had free time, he was either reading Li Xuewu's past articles or practicing writing in Li Xuewu's style.

You think it's hard to write a thematic essay when you're in school? That's because you haven't experienced the bitterness of writing thematic manuscripts after becoming a secretary!

The secretary is bitter, so bitter that he curses himself for being a two-hundred-and-fifty, why was he so tiger-like at the beginning, blocking his fate on the bitter eye. ===== CHAPTER 909 =====
