Chapter 922: Capture Li Huai De alive!

"Spoke quite well."

The leaders of the industrial and trade departments were still on the stage; in fact, when the price was announced, the launch conference had already ended.

Li Huai De brought the two leaders to look at the cars, and seeing the leaders were interested in Li Xuewu, he made an introduction.

"Our factory's Deputy Director of the Management Committee Office, also the person in charge of the Security Group, and even more the person in charge of the economic and trade project."

Regarding the introduction and evaluation of Li Xuewu, Li Huai De didn't stint on beautiful words, speaking very sincerely.

The leaders on the stage also had a good impression of Li Xuewu, smiling and shaking hands with him.

Li Huai De introduced to Li Xuewu: "Director Liu from the Industrial Department, Director Han from the Trade Department."

Saying this, he also smiled and explained: "The approval procedures for our factory's industrial projects all rely on Director Liu's care, and foreign trade projects are being taken care of by Director Han."

"Thank you, leaders!"

Li Xuewu felt the closeness expressed in Li Huai De's words, knowing this was his upper-level relationship.

"I represent the grassroots cadres and workers of the Rolling Steel Factory, expressing gratitude for the leaders' care and support, thank you, leaders!"

"Where, this is what you deserve!"

Director Liu smiled and patted Li Xuewu on the shoulder, his gaze sizing him up, the meaning of appreciation overflowing in words.

Perhaps it was the stage effect, or perhaps it was Li Xuewu's confidence and competence; the speech just now left a deep impression on the leaders.

This scene was seen by people under the stage, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes were envious.

The launch conference ended; according to the process, everyone could go on stage to visit the exhibition cars, or go to the entrance to queue for test driving the vehicles.

The Rolling Steel Factory naturally couldn't just build three sample cars; what if an accident occurred.

However, those who arrived today were enterprise responsible persons; according to internal organizational regulations, they were not allowed to drive during working hours.

So test driving could only be experienced by the drivers they called, and they themselves sat in the car to try those fresh functions.

It must be said that the atmosphere rolled up by the Rolling Steel Factory is really not very good!

With so many functions, without going through experiments, how do they know if they are easy to use, and whether they are suitable for use on their factory's products.

But they were afraid that these functions were too good, and afraid that customers would use them too early; the car enterprise responsible persons were struggling, and the people buying cars were also struggling.

The king of rolling should die!

But no matter how they struggled, they had to admit that the Rolling Steel Factory's new car launch conference was super successful.

Never before had a car enterprise done such a big advertisement when a new car appeared; the effect could be said to be extremely good.

Red Star Automobile officially stepped onto the stage, and the Hongxing Lingyang series also officially became a common topic for everyone attending today.

The quality of the audience at the scene must be guaranteed, and the evaluation of this car was also more objective, which was enough for the Rolling Steel Factory.

The production line hadn't been fully built yet, and the production technology and equipment introduced from Japan were still on the way; everything had just begun.

The Rolling Steel Factory had done everything it could for the preparatory work, and the rest was to settle down and build every car well.

The scene was chaotic; there were people looking at cars, choosing cars, test driving, ordering cars, and people going on stage to exchange pleasantries with leaders, and to exchange pleasantries with Rolling Steel Factory leaders.

Of course, there were also those who got up and left as soon as the launch conference ended.

The Rolling Steel Factory naturally couldn't be without demeanor; the last item of the new car launch conference process had already been marked on the invitation letter: a lunch banquet.

This process was still an advanced experience learned by Li Huai De and Jing Yu Nong from Yangcheng.

They found that at the reception, all kinds of people would appear, and all kinds of opportunities and chances would appear.

As long as one project cooperation could be reached, all the expenses of the reception banquet would be negligible.

Those willing to stay would be arranged to go to the guesthouse; those who left naturally had no way, and could only politely send them off.

It is estimated that Deputy Factory Director Wang from the Beijing Automobile Factory, facing the Rolling Steel Factory's politeness, could no longer maintain his demeanor no matter how gentlemanly he was.

What kind of new car launch conference is this? It should be called "Where is the Red Star Hongxing Lingyang Jeep better than the 212 Jeep" launch conference!

He could endure all comparisons, but he could no longer maintain superficial politeness regarding the price item.

Everyone knows very well that at the current stage, most of those who can buy vehicles are government units; how can ordinary individuals have this economic condition.

However, Red Star Automobile gave a goal that ordinary people could strive to achieve.

The highest configuration is less than 10,000 yuan, and the lowest configuration can reach 5,000-plus, less than 6,000 yuan according to the joint enterprise procurement price.

When did cars become rotten things on the street, and they even want to realize spot car sales!

This price not only embarrassed him as the business responsible person for the car manufacturing factory, but the key was how the leaders above looked at them, and how the units buying 212 jeeps looked at them.

Your car costs 31,000, how can others sell it for 6,000 or 7,000?

Does this mean you are not good, and others are better?

Insiders know that current car enterprises have the ability to produce a full set of parts themselves, but outsiders don't know.

Not mentioning the production cost of the full set of industry, but calculating the whole car sales price, isn't this playing the hooligan!

How could such a stirrer appear in the car manufacturing industry!

On the exhibition stand of the experimental workshop, not only many enterprise and factory responsible persons were looking at these three cars, but the little devil trio accompanied by the Foreign Affairs Department were also looking.

Especially that Red Star Hongxing Lingyang City high-configuration version, Ninomiya Kazunari sat in the car and kept clicking his tongue, and the other two were also amazed.

They had all heard that the Rolling Steel Factory was building cars, but they didn't expect they could build such exquisite small cars.

Although they didn't feel Li Xuewu was blowing the bull with them at the beginning, they were also confused in their hearts.

Seeing it today, they were suddenly stunned.

Nakamura Shuji said softly to Nishida Kenichi across the seat: "Nishida-kun, this car... is very similar to the car manufacturing idea of the Hopestar company in the country!"

Hopestar is actually a very successful car company with excellent development positioning.

The company's flagship product is named HopestarOn360; of course, it has nothing to do with Zhou Hongyi.

HopestarOn360 is a micro off-road vehicle with dimensions of only 2995×1295×1670 (mm) and a wheelbase of only 1950mm.

Readers who often drive luxury cars like Mercedes-Benz and BMW might not understand the concept of a car length of less than three meters.

Let's put it this way, the earliest two-box Xiali that people said had no butt, and the Chery QQ that later carried forward the no-butt, all have a minimum of 3.6 meters.

Of course, many readers know that small doesn't mean the ability is not strong!

You see this car is small?

That's because you haven't understood its kinetic energy yet!

Once you know the kinetic energy situation of this car, you will know why it is small.

The engine adopts the air-cooled Mitsubishi ME24 two-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 21 horsepower/5500rpm and a maximum torque of 31.36N·m/3500rpm.

How to describe it? It's that the old man's fun seen on the road is more powerful than this car!

If the size were any bigger, and one more child were added to the only two seats, the engine might collapse.

The key is, do you dare to believe this is an off-road vehicle?

Don't say it, success has no shortcuts; this car sells well in Japan, and there is a reason for it.

It only has a steel bar for a door, but it is equipped with a complete part-time four-wheel drive system!

What's wrong with part-time four-wheel drive?

Nothing wrong, even in the mainstream four-wheel drive structure of later generations, it is basically on the verge of being eliminated.

However, in this era, part-time four-wheel drive represents the advancement of off-road performance.

Nakamura Shuji is engaged in mechanical trade and has a lot of research on the automobile industry.

At this moment, he didn't care about his image, directly knelt on the ground, and crawled to observe the car chassis.

"This car is actually Willys-modified."

After carefully studying it once, Nakamura Shuji stood up, looked at Nishida Kenichi and the others, and said: "Although there are many novel designs and structures, it is not advanced."

Hearing him say this, for some reason, the translators and foreign affairs personnel following behind them all felt relieved, as if the three of them were relieved.

What does it mean?

Our car is not advanced enough, so you are relieved?

The translator and foreign affairs personnel looked at each other, and at the same time, a sentence sounded in their hearts: Not of my race...

"Li-san, this car is truly excellent!"

Seeing Li Xuewu send the leaders away and walk toward this side, Ninomiya Kazunari took the initiative to greet him.

Nishida Kenichi was also full of smiles and nodded: "Being able to see such an advanced small off-road vehicle, today is truly not a wasted trip!"

"Where~ where~"

Li Xuewu smiled and laughed it off: "Just now I saw Mr. Nakamura looking carefully; I think he already knows the secret of our car, right?"

Nakamura Shuji is still relatively honest, at least in front of Li Xuewu.

Seeing Li Xuewu come over, he didn't even dare to look directly into Li Xuewu's eyes, very afraid that the other party would see something.

Nishida and Ninomiya both had insincere praise just now, but only he didn't dare to say so, afraid that Li Xuewu would see he was lying.

He didn't say it, but couldn't Li Xuewu see it?

"It doesn't matter, sincerity is the most important, right Mr. Nakamura?"

Li Xuewu teased him first, then looked at Nishida Kenichi and Ninomiya Kazunari, who had somewhat awkward expressions.

"Regarding the topic of borrowing, I have already explained it at the launch conference, so I won't waste time with friends here."

He raised his hand to gesture to the jeep beside him and asked: "I want to know what suggestions and opinions you have on this car."

After finishing, he emphasized: "As good friends, I want to hear your sincere words."

Good friends:...

The Rolling Steel Factory has released a big satellite in the industry this time, and fame is definitely going to happen.

Yesterday's launch conference ended, and the news fermented with word of mouth; on Saturday, friendly units had already formed groups to come and visit.

This kind of behavior is common in this era; everyone visits each other, learns from each other, receives those who should be received, all very normal.

For example, earlier, the Rolling Steel Factory engaged in dual plans and production standardization, and many factories in the industrial field sent people to learn.

For example, later engaged in security, engaged in ideological education, and many units also came to learn.

The reception fee was spent a lot, but these units really contributed a lot of orders to the training ground on the mountain.

Even now, various training classes are opening and graduating one after another, training and transporting various professional talents for the Rolling Steel Factory and other friendly units.

The Security Department naturally gets the moon first near the water; all workers have undergone a round of off-post training, and some backbone forces have even entered the second round of training list.

The Rolling Steel Factory is very familiar with these work processes; thinking that the leaders of the ministry have all come, these people will come sooner or later.

It's just that I didn't expect that on Saturday, not only friendly units came, but also units and leaders from above came down to investigate.

Li Huai De was also very surprised, bringing leaders to look at sample cars, joint factories, and the future factory area planning blueprint that Li Xuewu arranged for people to hang on the wall of the third-floor conference room.

In fact, he knew the leaders' intentions very well; it was nothing more than coming to see how the Rolling Steel Factory is transforming, and investigating whether this comprehensive development of self-reform and going to production capacity overflow can really work.

Whether it works or not can't be seen for the time being; after all, just looking at a few small cars, a few workshop factories, and a magnificent development blueprint is useless.

But at present, this action of the Rolling Steel Factory is a way for the production capacity overflow that needs to be solved urgently in the industrial field.

However, in their view, the so-called production capacity overflow is a product of the planned economy, and also a helpless actual situation of the industrialization standard developing from low to high.

To be specific, a machine used to need ten people to operate; if the industrialization standard development improves, and only one person is needed, what should the remaining nine people do?

Production capacity overflow refers not only to product production efficiency, but also to the inversely proportional development of accountability.

The industrial development mechanization process is an irreversible scientific torrent; under this situation, the employment crisis that constantly appears is also the most dangerous manifestation of production capacity overflow.

The Rolling Steel Factory has completed the new recruitment index of more than 7,000 people this year, reducing the pressure on Beijing local graduates' allocation.

According to Li Huai De's introduction, before the end of this year, a recruitment index of no less than 3,000 people will be issued, used for pre-training of newly invested projects.

And next year, the Rolling Steel Factory will continue to complete the recruitment plan; under the condition of realizing saturated coverage of workers for all invested projects, the total number of recruits will exceed 25,000.

What is the concept of 25,000 people?

According to the survey data of 1965, Beijing has a total of 5,888 primary schools, with students; 567 middle schools, 8,555 classes, and more than 400,000 students.

Just the graduates with junior high school education or above every year must have 100,000 people; how many years has it been since full graduate work allocation was realized?

Over five years, at least 200,000 graduates with junior high school education or above have not received job arrangements; the Rolling Steel Factory alone can solve one-tenth, you say it's awesome or not?

Regardless of whether the Rolling Steel Factory can succeed after tossing like this, at least it has made outstanding contributions in solving the employment problem.

Therefore, the leaders who came to investigate affirmed the Rolling Steel Factory's actions in self-reform on the one hand, and praised the Rolling Steel Factory for setting an example in the work of founding small factories on the other.

That's how it's said; the joint factory side might still be called a small factory, but the automobile industry and hardware industry naturally cannot be called that.

But under the current situation, the Rolling Steel Factory can really solve actual problems, and the leaders above also want to actively protect it.

So no matter how the Rolling Steel Factory does it, it is in line with the policy and is doing work according to instructions.

After sending the leaders away, Li Huai De pulled Li Xuewu to sit down and talk, also feeling emotional.

Starting a business is difficult, and guarding a business is even more difficult; he caught up with both. Originally, fighting for this position was for enjoyment, but he lived into the appearance he hated at the beginning.

Damn, at the beginning, he secretly talked about Yang Yuansong and Yang Fengshan knowing how to work and not knowing how to enjoy.

Now that it's his turn, he really regrets his mouth at the beginning.

Of course, if you ask him to go back to the past, he definitely won't do it!

Even if he pretends to be humble in front of the leader, is praised for bringing the team well, and holds back his smile very hard, he doesn't feel tired; it's all for serving the people!

"Hey, I just remembered."

Li Huai De pointed at Li Xuewu and asked: "Why didn't you keep the three Japanese people for a meal yesterday?"

"Don't know~"

Li Xuewu had a "I'm pure, I don't know anything" confused expression, took a puff of cigarette, and guessed randomly: "Maybe they were scared by drinking with you last time~"

"Hey~ what's the big deal~"

Li Huai De smiled proudly, waved his hand and said: "My drinking capacity is average; it's just that they aren't used to our degree."

Hearing this, Li Haiyang's mouth couldn't help twitching, and the look in his eyes toward Li Xuewu carried pleading.

Please be a good person!

Don't you know Director Li's drinking capacity!

Director Li doesn't remember what kind of bastard he drank into at the last reception banquet, don't you remember?

The little devil was helped into the room by that woman, but Director Li was helped upstairs by him.

Recalling the past of carrying Director Li upstairs that day, Li Haiyang couldn't help but rub his butt.

Don't misunderstand, he just rubbed it through his pants, didn't go in.

"It's said they are leaving, right? And there was no opportunity to send them off."

Li Huai De was hooked by the second-hand smoke exhaled by Li Xuewu, his smoking addiction flared up, and he took out the first box of medicine pills from the drawer and held them.

There are two kinds of medicine pills in his drawer, one for quitting smoking, and the other is...

"However, the Japanese have left, but the Italian one has come."

Li Huai De tilted his head slightly, gestured to Li Xuewu and said: "Have you read the report from the Foreign Affairs Department? Your 'good friend' Mr. Andrew has arrived."

"Mm, read it."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "The assistance letter from the Confidentiality Department said he is studying in the Foreign Affairs Department, and we won't be able to meet until next week."

Damn, when did Li Huai De know his standard for "good friend"?

This word is almost stinking in his place; I wish the whole Beijing city knew he called the big sucker a good friend!

"I won't care about this; you are responsible for entertaining."

Li Huai De picked up the teacup, smiled and said: "Director Han of the Foreign Trade Department appreciates you very much, saying you are good material for foreign trade."

"Is that so? Then let Director Han support our factory's trade projects more in the future."

Li Xuewu naturally understood the solicitation and suggestion expressed in Li Huai De's words, and the answer was also impeccable.

"Hahaha, we still have to be low-key."

Li Huai De was very satisfied with his loyalty, smiled and waved his hand, drank a sip of tea, and said: "Just right, Andrew is coming, and people from the Jinmen Aquatic Products General Company are also coming; take them to Yingcheng together."

"Damn, going on a business trip again."

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and flicked the cigarette ash, complaining to Li Huai De: "My mother even said to me, having a job and not recognizing home."

"Mm, indeed made a certain sacrifice, but no way, serving the people~"

Li Huai De nodded and said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been hard to have both; it's the factory's work that makes your family difficult."

Saying this, he flipped out a document from the pile of documents and handed it to Li Xuewu: "Take a look."

Li Xuewu took it, scanned it quickly, raised his head and asked in surprise: "Going to the frontier?"

"Right, you and me, must go."

Li Huai De said seriously: "The frontier office has been established for almost a year; with the cooperation foundation of last year, we must establish a normal cooperative relationship this year."

"Indeed."

Li Xuewu thought for a while and said: "Disaster is temporary; we can't eat this meat forever; the relationship with the agricultural and pastoral farm is still tight, after all, the food industry will develop next year."

"I don't need to tell you the problem; you understand at a hint."

Li Huai De pointed at Li Xuewu and said: "We will set off when you return from Yingcheng; strive to rush back by the beginning of next month."

"Leader, the factory side..."

Li Xuewu frowned, not caring that Li Haiyang was in the room, and said hesitantly: "I'm always worried."

"No big deal!"

Li Huai De confidently tilted his head, looked at Li Xuewu and said: "You will sit in my position in the future, or even further; don't you just stare at this one-third of an acre of land?"

He pointed at the desktop and said meaningfully: "If you are here, things that should happen will happen; if you are not here, you can see clearly and manage smoothly."

"Understood, leader."

Li Xuewu's attitude is naturally: since you are not afraid of death, I am not afraid of burying you. Li Huai De wants to dig a hole now, so he naturally can't stop him, and even more can't get in the way.

He has changed his attitude toward those people slightly now; eight out of ten it has something to do with the attitude of the leaders who came these two days toward him.

Getting more support, the backbone naturally becomes harder, and when dealing with problems, it becomes more ruthless.

However, Li Xuewu estimated that a hole must be dug; as for how much to dig and how much to knock down, it's really hard to say.

After all, it's a hole, not a kill, which shows that Old Li also has scruples, fearing that the matter will be too big and it will be difficult to clean up the mess.

"This time going to the frontier, one is to solve the cooperation problem, and the other is to solve the railway problem."

Li Huai De pointed at the document and said: "Look back at the matter of the logistics base established in cooperation with the Beijing Railway Station; there is a lot to be done."

"And"

He beckoned Li Haiyang, found the document submitted by the union, and gestured it to Li Xuewu: "The welfare products in the past were done well; this year we can continue, things that workers get discounts and the factory gets actual benefits."

Li Xuewu looked at it; it has a relationship with the plan to go to the frontier, which is the matter of wool, leather, Chinese medicine, and mutton entering Beijing.

Since the trade line was opened, the workers of the Rolling Steel Factory, as well as the workers of related enterprises, can buy meat, seafood, dried goods, fruits, textiles, leather, and other commodities without tickets.

The Rolling Steel Factory's pure welfare products originally had ice cream and soda, but now basically no one looks at this, which is what they will think of when working in the workshop.

The commodities in the service department also cost money; why are they recognized as welfare products by workers?

Buying these in the factory is not only difficult to buy outside, but also costs an extra ticket; saving it is more than half the expense.

Being able to make the joint factory circle of friends bigger, welfare commodities have contributed a lot; at least the workers of the joint enterprise welcome this kind of cooperation.

While enjoying the same treatment, they can also guarantee children's employment; without the factory leaders doing work, everyone agrees.

"Meat, seafood, and fruits can enter Beijing in winter; with the food factory as a guarantee, discuss with the railway to transport with full force."

Li Huai De looked at the materials while saying to Li Xuewu: "Especially seafood, it's close and sells well; coordinate this matter with the Jinmen Aquatic Products people."

"Speaking of Jinmen"

He specifically pointed at Li Xuewu and said: "Perfect the structure of the Industrial Project and Trade Project Management Office as soon as possible, and pay more attention to the work in Jinmen."

Li Xuewu looked at him meaningfully, knowing what he meant.

"On the industrial project side, comrades Yu Decai and Cen Fuyao are already working; I believe there will be news after returning from the frontier."

"On the trade project side, Comrade Zhuang Cangshu is leading the organization; the work focus includes the office planning problem for next year, product service and sales problems, and special commodity procurement."

Li Xuewu flicked the cigarette ash and nodded in response: "In this regard, the strength in Jinmen is still a bit thin; I will go over a few more times next month, and the work plan for next year will also allocate more time over there."

Li Huai De reminded him not to forget Jinmen, and not to forget the people in Jinmen; Li Xuewu's answer was talking about work, but also talking about people.

The two went back and forth, knowing it without saying it, and considered the matter passed.

"What's the situation at the Iron and Steel Institute?"

Li Huai De raised his head from the documents and glanced at Li Xuewu: "Didn't you say there was cooperation some time ago?"

"Not very clear, maybe it's inconvenient."

Li Xuewu's explanation was flawless; there were too many "inconvenient" problems in the universities during this period.

Li Huai De also nodded, knocked on the document in his hand and said: "The leader was concerned about the planning of the new workers' village in the morning, especially in terms of scientific support."

"Should I contact them?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked; the meaning was still that he didn't want to take the initiative, after all, he was also afraid of causing trouble.

Li Huai De understood very well and waved his hand: "It's the leader's meaning; we can't develop with a lame leg, and we can't misinterpret instructions; we have small factories, and we must also have big schools."

Saying this, he let out a long breath and said: "Wait a little longer; Huaqing is not suitable, I still prefer the Iron and Steel Institute."

He said so, and Li Xuewu understood very well; factories need to run their own small factories to enrich product needs, and also need to run schools to support basic education and industrial education.

Proposing the big learning activity is not to let students not learn, but to apply what they have learned.

Of course, what problems appeared in the process of transmission and execution, Li Xuewu didn't want to know.

But what he knew was that factory-run schools are a big direction in the future, and also a cradle for factory technical workers.

Li Huai De might not have understood the new workers' village plan he made on the train at the beginning.

But today, with more and more workers in the Rolling Steel Factory and more and more severe management problems, anyone can think of the advancement of this plan.

So, making money is a kind of happiness, and spending money is too.

Li Huai De, who is usually stingy, is rarely active once; the goal is actually running a school!

Just coming out of Li Huai De's office, the preparatory bell for getting off work rang.

Gu Cheng came out of the office in a hurry and almost bumped into him.

"Sorry, Deputy Director Li."

"It's okay."

Li Xuewu sized up his secretary's good buddy and nodded, asking: "In a hurry to get off work?"

"Where~"

Gu Cheng raised the notice in his hand, looked left and right, and said softly: "It's about Deputy Factory Director Nie."

"Oh?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows slightly; what he saw from the notice he deliberately exposed was the factory's disciplinary decision regarding Comrade Nie Chenglin.

Gu Cheng saw that this wasn't the place to talk, so he followed Li Xuewu downstairs, saying as they walked: "It's demotion, going to Yingcheng."

"Oh."

Li Xuewu didn't seem to care; Gu Cheng kept talking, and he just replied with two "oh"s simply.

Gu Cheng saw this and didn't say anything more, gestured to the notice in his hand and went to post it.

Why choose to post at this time, and why is it Nie Chenglin?

Posting at this time, the notice won't stick; although it was announced, the people who can see it and know about it won't be many, and the influence is very small.

Unlike Yang Fengshan, Nie Chenglin's problem is special; this person has a bad temper, but his character is impeccable, so it can only be handled coldly.

From Yang Fengshan to the current Nie Chenglin, Li Huai De is kicking away the two people whose influence has been completely weakened, eliminating the last hidden dangers.

Cheng Kaiyuan can make trouble, it's all up to him, but Yang Fengshan and Nie Chenglin cannot be involved.

Why can Yang Fengshan be transferred away, but Nie Chenglin has to go to Yingcheng for demotion?

This has to start with the slap Li Huai De received; the office area was closed, and they implemented clocking in for work, all because of this matter.

Li Huai De didn't blame Li Xuewu, but he would definitely not forget Nie Chenglin.

As for why he didn't do it, this has to be said about a face problem.

Political struggle is definitely not a simple life-and-death matter; there are more and deeper meanings in it.

Nie Chenglin can go to Yingcheng, work in the cold winter, can get sick, can slowly get sick and die.

But, he absolutely cannot die under Li Huai De's nose; that way he would really stink.

Just like Yang Fengshan, his feet are cold, but his body absolutely cannot be cold; he must have a decent overcoat.

Now, going to Yingcheng is the cotton overcoat Li Huai De put on Nie Chenglin.

It both shows uprightness and benevolence, and labels his innocence, a political attitude that disaster does not reach family members. 【922-

It both demonstrated integrity and righteousness, and also signaled his innocence, a political stance that the disaster would not extend to his family.

Yang Fengshan was originally under investigation, and due to personal reasons, he remained under house arrest within the factory, while Yang Yuansong and Nie Chenglin, who also faced investigation, were different.

Yang Yuansong only went through the motions before being taken away by superiors due to health reasons.

Nie Chenglin, however, was told to report every day, write down his problems, and confess his issues.

Three people, three different ways of handling things, fully embodying Li Huai De's methods and wisdom.

Politics, isn't it quite interesting?

What's even more interesting is Nie Chenglin's reaction; this deputy factory director fully cooperated during his investigation but refused to confess.

And today, facing the end of the investigation, he also complied with the arrangements but refused the services of the Management Committee Office.

According to the content of the announcement, Nie Chenglin's name is still followed by the word "comrade," which is different compared to Yang Fengshan.

Therefore, he is still qualified to enjoy the service benefits of the factory's Management Committee Office.

Refusing represents his attitude and the resentment in his heart; it is even more a case of not giving Li Huai De any face at all, and not leaving a way out for himself either.

When Li Xuewu was getting off work, he happened to run into him at the main gate.

Nie Chenglin's son, Nie Xiaoguang, brought a group of people to pick up his father, and their momentum was very fierce, making the gate guards alert.

Some cadres and workers thought something was going to happen, so they all gathered at the gate to watch the excitement.

Li Xuewu's car was blocked behind, and he clearly saw Nie Chenglin stiffening his back hard, pushing his bicycle as he walked out of the factory gate.

Facing his son's rowdiness, he didn't say anything, just waved his hand, then got on his bicycle first and pedaled away.

It was just that carefree, just that casual, as if the one about to go to Yingcheng for labor wasn't him.

Nie Xiaoguang was very unconvinced, surrounded by a group of young punks, his arrogance extremely high.

Although he didn't dare to storm the gate—he had heard that the steel mill's gate guards had real weapons in their hands and couldn't be messed with.

But he still blocked the steel mill's main gate and clamored, threatening that sooner or later he would flatten the steel mill and capture Li Huai De alive!

Li Xuewu didn't know what Li Huai De thought after hearing this, but the people gathered at the gate laughed non-stop.

They also had nothing to do and were idle; after getting off work, they didn't go home but stayed here to watch the show.

Seeing them blocking the road, Han Jiankun honked the horn. At first, these young punks wanted to dodge when they saw a car coming out, but being annoyed by the honking, they couldn't back down and wanted to make trouble again.

Fortunately, the lighting at the gate was bright enough for Nie Xiaoguang to see the appearance of this car and the license plate clearly.

This kid had a knack for making friends, especially during this period; he was loyal and dared to act out, so he really had gathered quite a few people around him.

Their status was similar to his; basically, they were all children of cadre families.

The command car drove out of the gate and stopped with a squeak in front of these young punks who were hurriedly dodging the car.

They were actually scared too; they hadn't even gotten off their bicycles and were ready to run at any time.

Li Xuewu rolled down the car window, sized up Nie Xiaoguang, and asked, "Here to pick up your dad?"

"Li... Uncle Li."

Nie Xiaoguang hadn't suffered a loss at Li Xuewu's hands last time, and having been educated by his father, he knew who was good and who was bad.

He originally wanted to call him Li Ge, but then he remembered that the other party was a colleague of his father, so he changed his address to Uncle.

Li Xuewu was about the same age as him, and being called Uncle by the other party just felt funny.

However, this was the main gate, and he was too lazy to argue with the other party. He waved his hand, told them to hurry home, and then rolled up the window and left.

Seeing him chicken out, Nie Xiaoguang's companions shouted unconvinced, calling him a coward.

He was actually very calm, curled his lip, gestured toward the departing jeep, and said, "Don't brag. In front of him, even I have to act tough!"

"Ah~"

A young guy who was unconvinced rolled his eyes and said, "Who is that guy? So arrogant, you scared us with your bragging~"

"Yeah, saying it out loud would definitely give you a shock!"

Nie Xiaoguang scanned the steel mill's main gate; the armed gate guard was still looking at him with a vigilant gaze.

His father had come out, he had cursed, and he couldn't beat Li Huai De, so he suddenly felt it was meaningless.

He pedaled his bicycle hard and said to a bunch of his buddies, "Alright, that's it for today. I'll treat tomorrow, wait for you at home at ten in the morning."

"Hey! Hey hey~ don't go!"

Seeing Nie Xiaoguang leave after saying only half his words, some nosy ones followed on their bicycles, chasing and asking, "You haven't told us who that was just now!"

Young punks blocking the factory gate to curse in the street wasn't considered fresh; they were just a swarm of locusts.

They come with the wind and go with the wind; you don't know how they appeared, nor do you know how they disappeared.

However, the young punks who are still making trouble now all have some strength and ability; those from the very beginning were either eliminated or got into trouble.

People like Yan Jiekuang are considered smart; they get benefits, hide them, and then quietly stay out of the way.

There are also many who followed the crowd to travel north and south and never returned.

They said they went to spread the seeds of revolution, but who knows where they died.

At this time, human life is worthless; having many children at home is one aspect, and parents don't pay much attention, nor do they dare to manage them.

Li Huai De being cursed is nothing; people with higher ranks than him are being disciplined, and when they are cursed, they just pretend not to hear it.

This matter isn't even a matter; the young punks that Li Huai De finds most annoying are actually those living in the Six Nations Hotel.

Those people don't curse him, but they eat his food and drink his drink; even if they sang happy songs every day, he wouldn't be able to be happy.

Fortunately, this matter finally has a glimmer of a turning point.

I don't know if it's because the "Great Learning" activity has achieved phased victory, or because of concerns about the wintering problems of these progressive teachers and students.

Or even more simply, it might be that the financial pressure can no longer support these people's free eating and drinking.

The original plan from above was to have students suspend classes for three months to specifically engage in "Great Learning" activities.

Who would have thought these teenagers are all like birds, and not even good birds at that; once released, they couldn't be brought back into the cage.

Just look at this nationwide "great roaming"; how much damage it has caused to material and intangible culture.

So today, it is time to bring back these silly birds.

In mid-November, the authorities decided that from the 21st of this month until the spring blossoms next year, all roaming is strictly prohibited.

As for the reason, they just say it's to prepare for next year's roaming.

Of course, they can't be too harsh, otherwise, how would these silly birds come back?

Even so, the spread of news takes time; it is estimated that these silly birds will have to wait until before or after the New Year to receive the news.

Beijing has become much quieter; primary school students like Bang Geng have long since returned to class.

Ran Qiuye told him that although there are very few teaching tasks now, it is still mainly ideological education.

But in terms of restraint, it is still better than those silly birds in middle schools and universities who were released and couldn't be brought back.

However, there are exceptions; there might be a few smart ones among the silly birds.

On Sunday, Li Xuewu was walking out after finishing work at the club, having promised Gu Ning to go to her parents' house together to look at the house.

Just as he exited the screen wall, he saw Zuo Jie and Xiao Jianjun standing at the main gate talking.

Perhaps they saw Li Xuewu; the two said something else and then came into the courtyard to wait for him.

"Li Ge."

"Li Ge."

The two greeted him simultaneously, one casually, one politely.

Li Xuewu nodded, glanced at the other party, and didn't speak.

Zuo Jie had a good personality and took the initiative to explain: "Jianjun came to apologize to me; it's still about the program last time."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, his gaze falling on Xiao Jianjun's face, and asked, "Did you get beaten?"

Xiao Jianjun twitched the corners of his mouth, his face full of shame.

Back then, Li Xuewu invited him to come and work with Zuo Jie, but he insisted on saving face and suffered for it.

Watching Zuo Jie get better and better, he felt both ashamed and regretful in his heart.

Zuo Jie didn't want to make things difficult for him and took the initiative to explain: "Jianjun helped me last time; it has nothing to do with him."

Li Xuewu didn't care about that; was he supposed to investigate whether he hit the wrong person?

"Hmm, you guys have fun~"

He nodded very casually, gestured toward the parking lot, and was about to leave.

Zuo Jie had already explained it once; was he supposed to let the other party ask for help?

"Li... Li Ge."

Xiao Jianjun took the initiative to call out and stop Li Xuewu, took two steps to catch up, and seeing him turn his head, hesitated for a moment and said: "Li Ge, do you still have any work here? I want to..."
