Chapter 985: Genuine leather

No eating and sleeping in clothes.

But he really is a model worker.

Peng Xiaoli stood by the office window, watching Yu Daru's desolate back get into the car and leave; only then did he pout and turn back to work.

"Really treats himself as a big-tailed wolf~"

Hearing Peng Xiaoli's muttering, Li Xuewu raised his head and glanced at him, not caring.

This kid had picked up the secretary work recently, and he looked quite "arrogant."

Of course, the word "arrogant" was mentioned by Gu Cheng; in Peng Xiaoli's own words, it should be "composed."

Composed in facing work, composed in facing challenges—composed like Li Xuewu.

In Peng Xiaoli's view, the leader had to take care of the management office work while completing his own duties, and also be responsible for the management of several foreign trade projects; it really wasn't easy.

The Rolling Mill already had so much work, plus the other position in the Third Guard Regiment; Peng Xiaoli felt that even if he split himself into countless pieces, he couldn't do it.

But looking at Li Xuewu, there was never a time when he was in a hurry; even if problems always came to the door, he could handle them in an orderly manner.

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Xuewu naturally had the demeanor of a general and the steadiness of a rock in the sea.

But this steadiness and composure also depended on how many days and nights he had planned and how he had built his relationship foundation.

Without the efforts of the first day and the first step, where would today's calmness come from?

But outsiders only see his success today and ignore his past efforts, treating all the past as the fruit of today, but looking at the cause-and-effect relationship backward.

Near noon, before getting off work, Peng Xiaoli knocked lightly on the door and brought two people into the office.

"Leader, comrades from the Propaganda Section and the Radio Station are here to see you."

"Mm, mm."

Li Xuewu was looking at documents with his head down and responded casually. A few seconds later, he raised his head and glanced at the two who had already walked to his front.

"Deputy Director Li, hello!"

Yu Haitang was naturally familiar with Li Xuewu; seeing Li Xuewu raise his head, she greeted him with a smile.

Seeing Li Xuewu's gaze turn to the colleague beside her, she took the initiative to introduce, "This is Section Chief Chai Chunlian of the Factory Newspaper."

"Deputy Director Li, hello!"

Chai Chunlian was a bit nervous; although he had met Li Xuewu, he wasn't very familiar with him.

However, Li Xuewu knew him. Hearing Yu Haitang's introduction, he put down the document in his hand and greeted, "I know, the famous pen-pusher of our factory."

"Don't dare! Don't dare!"

Chai Chunlian was flattered by Li Xuewu's praise and kept being polite, "In front of you, how would I dare to call myself a pen-pusher? I'm far behind you."

"Too humble, isn't it~"

Li Xuewu stood up, shook hands with them with a smile, and then signaled to the opposite seat to invite them to sit.

Yu Haitang was very familiar with this office; she had been here many times before.

It was just that she was too reckless at that time, didn't know the depth, and bumped into it with the beautiful dream of being a section chief's wife, ending up with a head full of bumps.

For a period of time, this office was off-limits to her, and she would even be questioned and stopped when going to the third floor.

Of course, times are different now; she made a mistake and got a slap, and she also used some sacrifices to exchange for a chance at self-redemption.

Hitching a ride on Director Li's car, she walked on another path, returned to this office, and saw the man she once missed.

Actually, looking back, she also regretted it; the impulsiveness in her personality made her lose a lot and also made her grow up a lot.

On the day she received the appointment as deputy station chief of the Radio Station, she cried alone in the office for a long time, asking herself more than once what she was thinking before and why she had to do that.

Did she really like Li Xuewu?

No, she didn't like Li Xuewu; she only liked the halo on Li Xuewu, that position, that glory.

Even influenced by Yu Li, she saw Li Xuewu's deep background relationships and hidden wealth.

Having experienced ups and downs, she finally saw her own heart clearly; she wasn't suitable to be a section chief's wife, but she could try to be a section chief in this life.

"Deputy Director Li, we are here to ask for your help today."

Yu Haitang adjusted her mindset, looked at Chai Chunlian, and took the initiative to open the conversation: "Under your and Director Li's care and support, the 'Red Star Interview' program has gone online..."

"It's mainly Director Li's support."

Li Xuewu pointed at her with a smile, then said to the two, "I heard the feedback on the program is very good; the factory workers like it very much; your Radio Station has achieved results."

"Thank you, Deputy Director Li!"

Yu Haitang responded with a smile: "Without your care and help, where would we have the chance to make a program?"

After praising Li Xuewu, seeing him smile, she said again: "The last exclusive interview with Director Li was a great success; we want to invite you for an exclusive interview for the next 'Red Star Interview' program."

"I listened to Director Li's exclusive interview; it was a plan for the factory's work goals and future."

Li Xuewu first affirmed the success of the last exclusive interview, then evaluated, "The Radio Station performed very well in interviews and broadcasting; it's worthy of commendation."

"However."

Li Xuewu smiled and looked at the two, raising his hand to signal Yu Haitang, who was about to speak, to listen to his explanation: "First, the time isn't right. After all, it's the beginning of the year; policy release is needed, propaganda is needed, right?"

When mentioning this, Li Xuewu specifically pointed at Chai Chunlian of the Factory Newspaper.

And then continued: "Secondly, other factory leaders should also have words they want to say to all the factory workers; leaders should be ranked in front, right?"

"The last point."

Li Xuewu looked at Yu Haitang with a smile and said, "Regarding policy-type talks, I actually don't have the qualification to speak on the radio."

"Actually, it's like this."

Yu Haitang signaled to the Factory Newspaper Director beside her and explained, "The Radio Station wants to interview you together with the Factory Newspaper, talk about your work experience and life in the past year, and share your success experience with everyone."

"Then I have even less to say."

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said with a smile, "I'm only twenty-something, and I've only been working for a year; where would I have any success experience to share with the factory workers?"

"Only!"

Yu Haitang and Chai Chunlian heard Li Xuewu's words, and this title instantly appeared in their minds.

They thought, if they really drafted an 800-word essay with this word, it would definitely explode.

Of course, exploding meant the article became popular, and they would explode their heads.

"Only!" Twenty-something, just! Entered the factory for two years, and we are already looking up to you; how much more successful do you want to be?!

If Li Xuewu's life experience last year didn't count as success, then it seemed no one in the Rolling Mill was qualified to mention the word "success."

Before they could say anything else, the noon bell for getting off work had already rung; it wouldn't be good to disturb the leader's meal again.

The two came out of Li Xuewu's office, looked at each other, and only felt their brains were blank.

This trip wasn't without gains; at least it refreshed their understanding of the word "success."

From today on, those under twenty-one who haven't reached the deputy section level, or deputy section-level cadres over twenty-one!

Do! Not! Call! It! Success!

"Deputy Director Li!"

"Deputy Director Li, hello~"

"Leader, hello~"

Coming down from the third floor of the Security Building to the small canteen behind the main office building, there were people greeting him all the way.

There were only a few people whom Li Xuewu would take the initiative to greet.

So what everyone saw was Li Xuewu's humble and polite side, nodding and responding to whoever greeted him.

Young, high-ranking, capable, talented, wealthy, and dignified—no wonder he was being watched and discussed.

Over 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned and upright figure, wearing a tower hat, a black wool coat, black pants, and black leather shoes.

The old saying is good: everyone chases someone in all black, and a pile of people are fascinated by all white.

Even if they knew Li Xuewu was already married, even if they knew there was no possibility for them and Li Xuewu, there was no lack of girls in the office still missing him.

It wasn't for real, just missing him in their hearts didn't break the law.

He was only twenty-one after the New Year; he was really young, and he would be suitable for anyone!

In the restaurant, Li Xuewu hung his coat and hat on the hanger at the entrance; there were service personnel managing this side.

The Rolling Mill office area was still inherited from the factory before the takeover, only the Security Building and the auxiliary building were built later.

The small canteen was also there originally, but it didn't serve as a canteen at the time, so it wasn't connected to the main office building.

It was fine in spring, summer, and autumn; except for rainy days, it was very convenient to go to the canteen for meals.

But when winter arrived, the weather in the north could really freeze people to death.

Especially the location of the small canteen; the sunlight was blocked by the main office building, the cold wind howled, and it was unusually cold.

Walking from the office building to this side, if you didn't wear a cotton-padded jacket, you would probably be shivering from the cold.

But if you wore a cotton-padded jacket, just think about how fierce the heating in the Rolling Mill was.

It was more than 20 degrees below zero outside the door, and more than 20 degrees above zero inside the door; the temperature difference could reach 50 degrees.

Entering the room wasn't like entering a bathhouse, but wearing a cotton-padded jacket to eat would definitely make you sweat.

You could endure sweating in the room, but you had to go out after eating.

The lining of the cotton-padded jacket in this era was real cotton, not a down jacket.

No matter how wind-resistant cotton is, it will be penetrated by this old north wind.

More than 20 degrees below zero, plus the shaded side—don't even think about being fine; you'll definitely catch a cold.

"No matter what, we have to fix this connecting corridor this year, otherwise I'll be frozen to death!"

Ding Zigui followed Li Xuewu into the door, shivered, took off his cotton-padded coat, and handed it to the service personnel.

Seeing Li Xuewu in front, he couldn't help but complain.

Li Xuewu turned back and glanced at him, saying with a smile, "Who was it that said, just endure it and it will pass~"

"Hi~"

Ding Zigui didn't feel ashamed at all, shook the lunch box in his hand, and joked, "Who told me to be in charge of this matter at the time!"

"What is this called?"

He pulled Li Xuewu and joked, "Now I'm not in charge, of course I can be ignorant of the cost of firewood and rice!"

"Then pay for it from the management office's funds."

Jing Yunong, who was queuing in front, turned back and glanced at the two, pouting and saying a sentence.

Ding Zigui pulled Li Xuewu and lined up behind her, saying, "Leader, it doesn't matter whose money it is; what's important is not to let the comrades freeze."

He turned back and glanced at Li Xuewu, saying with a smile, "I'm also kind-hearted, thinking about letting everyone eat well~"

"Mm, I also think so."

Li Xuewu stood behind and drummed up support, saying, "Director Ding makes sense; it's time to let everyone eat well."

"Look!"

Ding Zigui got Li Xuewu's support and became even bolder, saying to Jing Yunong in front, "Leader, Deputy Director Li also supports it."

"He supports it, he pays for it then."

Jing Yunong didn't turn her head and said, "If the Security Group's funds are plenty, then I support using them for everyone's welfare."

"I wouldn't dare move the Security Group's money."

Mentioning money, Li Xuewu's tone changed immediately: "All fund audits have to listen to our group leader."

Saying this, he said to Ding Zigui, who was looking back at him, "Or you wait, Old Ding, wait until I talk to Deputy Director Dong."

"You're really something~"

Ding Zigui said speechlessly, "This pole directly supported me to Steel City!"

He turned back to Jing Yunong in front and said, "If I have to wait for Deputy Director Dong to agree, and then finish the procedures, spring will have arrived!"

"Isn't that just right~"

Jing Yunong glanced at him with a smile, took a step forward, handed the lunch box to He Yuzhu, and said, "A little less, Master He."

"Got it~"

He Yuzhu was on duty in the small canteen today; seeing the leaders queuing, he took the initiative to take the lunch box and help serve the dishes.

"Once the procedures are done, we'll start construction in early spring."

Jing Yunong glanced at Li Xuewu and said to Ding Zigui, "I'm just afraid that by this time next year, Deputy Director Li still won't have finished the procedures."

"Sigh~"

Ding Zigui sighed helplessly and said, "Leader, you still understand Deputy Director Li's character!"

This was said without intention, originally a joke, but in Jing Yunong's ears, she felt he was implying her.

She glanced at Li Xuewu, didn't pick up Ding Zigui's joke, took the lunch box handed over by He Yuzhu, and went upstairs.

Ding Zigui looked at Jing Yunong's back with some surprise, turned back and glanced at Li Xuewu, and asked, "This... what's wrong with the leader?"

"How would I know~"

Li Xuewu twitched the corners of his mouth and signaled to the front, "Serve the food~"

Ding Zigui handed the lunch box to He Yuzhu, still puzzled, and said, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Who knows~"

Li Xuewu nodded to Seeing Sha Zhu casually and said casually, "Women, there are always those few... hmm, hmm~"

He gave Ding Zigui a "you understand" look and didn't continue.

Ding Zigui pouted, with an expression of understanding and agreement, took the lunch box, and shook his head slightly, saying, "A woman's heart is a needle at the bottom of the sea~"

After saying that, he sized Li Xuewu up and joked, "You still understand a woman's heart~"

"Get lost~"

Li Xuewu took a step forward, handed the lunch box to Seeing Sha Zhu, ordered two dishes, and asked for vegetable soup to pour over the rice.

"You have to be careful with these words; offend the leader, and be careful about being given small shoes to wear!"

"Ha! You should be careful with these words!"

Ding Zigui stood aside waiting for Li Xuewu, squinting his eyes and saying, "I noticed Deputy Director Jing's look at you isn't very good; be careful!"

"Heh~"

Li Xuewu pouted and replied softly, "Just know it; saying it out loud affects unity."

Seeing Sha Zhu watched the two pulling legs, smiled, served the food, and even added an extra portion of meat.

He didn't care about the influence of his care and partiality for Li Xuewu; it was good that this was the cadre canteen, and not many people were gossiping.

If it were in the big canteen, when Yushui came to eat, that kind of partiality would have caused gossip.

Don't look at this small canteen not being very big, but there were many people eating.

Cadres above the deputy section level could come here to eat, and cadres from the three industries also enjoyed this treatment.

A part of the workshop cadres in the Three Industries Management Office were supported from other factories.

They understood technology, management, and production; in production cooperation, they obeyed the leadership and overall planning of the Three Industries Management Office and cooperated to complete production tasks.

And for these people, the Rolling Mill showed a generous side from the beginning.

Except for the treatment enjoyed by the Rolling Mill workers individually, other public treatments were shared by the Three Industries cadres.

Including bathhouses, haircuts, movies, service departments, etc., naturally including small canteens and big canteens.

The position of the Three Industries workshop director was deputy section level, half a level lower than the Rolling Mill production workshop director position.

Whether the Three Industries workshop director was a deputy section-level cadre, this wasn't managed by the Rolling Mill; she was a cadre of the Textile Third Factory.

Where He Yu Shui ate when she went to work was entirely determined by where her brother was on duty.

With her brother there, could she still not be full?

"Hey! Master He!"

Ding Zigui remembered something while waiting for Li Xuewu to take the lunch box and asked Seeing Sha Zhu, "How is your Director Liu?"

"How would I know that~"

Seeing Sha Zhu said with a smile, "I'm just a worker; how would I dare to inquire about your leaders' affairs."

"Hurry up and go; the food is getting cold."

Li Xuewu pushed Ding Zigui and signaled him to go upstairs.

Ding Zigui glanced at He Yuzhu, squinted at Li Xuewu, and whispered, "I remember someone told me they had an affair..."

"Mm, and two legs!"

Li Xuewu replied while walking up the stairs, "What's the point of playing with one leg~"

"Hehehe~"

Ding Zigui was this kind of person; he looked quite unreliable in private, but he was very serious and responsible for his work.

That was just chatting with Li Xuewu; in front of the leader, he wouldn't say these things.

That is, if you think he trusts Li Xuewu and doesn't treat Li Xuewu as an outsider, saying everything, that's pure nonsense.

What they said in private, even if someone heard it, what could happen?

Was Liu Lan unwilling, or was Seeing Sha Zhu unwilling? Did Ding Zigui care?

If you say he's a big director pulling gossip, he's lost face, but they are two section-level cadres pulling idle eggs; ordinary people really don't have the qualification to listen.

Where is there gossip in the workplace? Those who really pull gossip are useless people.

Ding Zigui's few words of gossip gave Li Xuewu a topic to talk about and laid out a small probe; this is called deep calculation.

If these few words of gossip spread, it would definitely be Li Xuewu's big mouth talking about him behind his back.

It's impossible to say he was just talking about this one thing; there must be other intentions.

It's time to guard against Li Xuewu or investigate Li Xuewu's motivation for mentioning this matter.

Finding a topic means he has already paid attention to that case, and even knows that the waves in Jinmen are also related to this case.

As for how much he knew and what he wanted to do, that was Ding Zigui's purpose for suddenly appearing by Li Xuewu's side today.

"Young people play fancy~"

Ding Zigui listened to Li Xuewu's teasing, pulled a sentence with a smile, and scanned downstairs again, saying, "This Director Liu's official luck isn't prosperous~"

After speaking, he sized up Li Xuewu and teased, "With so many people escorting, she could still flip the car; it's really..."

"Director Ding."

Li Xuewu squinted his eyes and asked with a smile, "Why are you suddenly concerned about her today? Could it be that you also have... hmm, hmm, that affair?"

"Go to hell~"

Ding Zigui scolded with a smile and followed Li Xuewu into the private room.

Someone had already arrived in the private room, and Wei Zaike and Bu Qingfang were talking about the propaganda work for the beginning of the year.

Seeing Li Xuewu and the other enter, everyone greeted and moved seats, letting the two sit down.

"Hey! Deputy Director Li, how was the Jinmen trip?"

Wei Zaike teased with a smile, "I heard the harvest was abundant!"

"Say more!"

Bu Qingfang looked at Li Xuewu with a smile and scared Wei Zaike, "Say more and Deputy Director Li will get rough with you~"

"Getting 'rough' won't be with Old Wei~"

Ding Zigui smiled and used Bu Qingfang's words to joke, and even squinted at them with a smile.

"Go to hell!"

Bu Qingfang wouldn't indulge him; she opened her mouth and scolded him, then pointed at him and said, "Still a big director, isn't it shameful!"

After speaking, she reminded Li Xuewu, "Stay away from this person; be careful about learning bad things!"

"I'm shameful?!"

Ding Zigui pointed at Li Xuewu with a face full of grievance and asked everyone, "He still learns bad things from me?"

"Don't rely on us!"

Bu Qingfang rolled her eyes at him, then asked Li Xuewu, "The comrades from the Factory Newspaper and the Radio Station visited you, right?"

"Deputy Group Leader Bu, you know~"

Li Xuewu smiled helplessly and said, "Just now in my office, they talked about this, but I refused."

"What~"

Everyone was blank; they didn't hear clearly what Bu Qingfang was saying to Li Xuewu.

Bu Qingfang looked at Li Xuewu with a smile and explained to everyone, "The Factory Newspaper and the Radio Station found me and submitted an application for an interview and exclusive interview with Deputy Director Li."

"This is a good thing!"

Wei Zaike said with a smile, "Deputy Director Li is the leader of our factory's young cadres and the red flag of ideological progress; he should really be well-propagated."

"I said the same~"

Bu Qingfang said with a smile, "Deputy Director Li is young and promising; he should tell the young people now how to do cadre work well."

"Are you praising me, or scolding me~"

Li Xuewu waved his hand with a smile and said, "Where do I have the qualification to go on the radio for an exclusive interview? If there's an interview, it should start from the leaders, from the old comrades."

"You, you're just too humble~"

Bu Qingfang said with a smile, although she appreciated Li Xuewu's low-key caution in her heart, she still praised him: "If it's really as you say, then the exclusive interview won't become an investigation~"

"Hahaha~"

Everyone laughed and teased Li Xuewu, saying that excessive humility is arrogance.

But who told Li Xuewu to have the capital for arrogance? Everyone wanted to envy him but felt they didn't have the qualification.

This private room was basically booked by their small circle, and basically these people were there every day.

Passing by the door of the private room, one could often hear the laughter inside, and didn't know what they were all talking about.

Some cadres naturally yearned for this private room; people have the desire to peek.

But what attracted people to this private room was status, influence, and circles.

To be able to eat in this private room, the most basic thing is that you have to get the recognition of these people and be able to integrate into their topics.

Finally, you have to gain their trust and be able to hear some things about their work.

People like Bi Yuding and Yu Decai could naturally go into this private room to eat, but they rarely went.

Unless there was a work need to communicate in private, or to coordinate with that leader.

Otherwise, they wouldn't easily walk into this private room to pull idle eggs with the people at this table.

Just look at the identities of the people sitting at the table; they are either section-level group leaders or old qualifications and old comrades.

Plus Li Xuewu, this person with a lot of calculating thoughts, in this room, even eating feels choking.

However, there are people who yearn for it, such as Feng Xingke, Lang Zhennan, and others; they are either from branch factories or transferred from outside, and all want to walk into the core circle of the Rolling Mill.

People have a psychological need for self-protection, always afraid of being thrown down or falling behind others.

But the thin door curtain not only blocked the sight of those watching from outside but

However, the Rolling Mill's success has multiple factors; it's not just a simple phone call or a few true words that can be replicated.

First of all, they don't possess the key factors of highly concentrated thinking, highly stable environment, and fully guaranteed safety.

Look at the Modu incident; many cities have responded one after another, and there have been changes.

But there are really very, very few factories like the Rolling Mill that have completed ideological transformation early and practiced the big study activity.

Many factories' goal this year is to walk the path of transformation that the Rolling Mill walked last year; how many can land steadily and not suffer large-scale losses?

Every time Li Huai hung up the phone, he would think, if there hadn't been early layout, and the support of Li Xuewu and Dong Wenxue, and early stabilization of the Rolling Mill, would there be today's Rolling Mill?

How much influence does the Modu incident have? It can't be seen from the general environment for the time being.

But from the specific situation, this accident can be considered a watershed.

Enterprises and units that have truly completed the ideological transformation of the big study have already transcended others by a segment; later, influenced by the environment and resources, this distance is pulled further and further.

Isn't the standard for truly judging whether an enterprise has competitiveness and development potential just this kind of gap?

It can be said that the calls these past few days have made the Rolling Mill's group of leaders both proud and troubled.

When holding an office meeting, Jing Yunong complained that she was receiving more calls than the telephone operator.

Everyone smiled bitterly; who wasn't the same? Calls were made even when they returned home last night.

Wealth moves people's hearts~

Li Huai told everyone that calls could be answered, but work couldn't be delayed; everyone's calls were the same, and the secretary had to take responsibility.

Blocking calls—this is an ability of a secretary or office staff.

At the same time, he also emphasized that when introducing the Rolling Mill's development experience, one must be humble, impartial, not arrogant, not impetuous, say what can be said, and not say what cannot be said.

Everyone has a spectrum in their hearts about what can be said and what cannot be said.

Even Cheng Kaiyuan knows this point; what he opposes is the Rolling Mill's current development direction, not wanting to destroy this economic situation.

Naturally, it's good to make money; he wants to see this point from the steel industry even more.

Of course, Li Huai and Li Xuewu were busy for a whole year last year, building the Rolling Mill's light industry and heavy industry downstream enterprises, and didn't forget the Rolling Mill's pillar.

From the beginning of the year 1967, Li Huai formally proposed a five-year plan for the renewal and iteration of the Rolling Mill's steel equipment and technology at the office meeting.

In the next five years, the Rolling Mill will continuously update production equipment, rebuild production factory areas, and re-plan and increase investment in steel production scale.

Currently, the Red Star Rolling Mill can be considered the premier steel enterprise in the Beijing area, and even in the North China region.

However, after a trip to Yangcheng, Li Huai and Li Xuewu saw the predicament of the domestic heavy industry machinery they were proud of in front of foreign businessmen.

The industrial system established with the Russian brothers as mentors naturally has the problem of being stupid, big, and rough, and it has a special northern style in production.

It's not that this point isn't excellent, but it depends on the environment and the economic direction.

When the hardware industry factory was built, Li Xuewu repeatedly emphasized that the product style should be more in line with aesthetic concepts and guarantee practicality.

A family toolbox can be loaded with a big black iron box; why must it use rolled plates to make a light, exquisite appearance?

Because the main customer group for this thing isn't the interior, nor the Russian brothers, but those capitalist countries.

The new Rolling Mill located in Steel City has already been doing basic work on site selection, and the design drawings have been finalized by the engineering department, including various workshops, office areas, living areas, etc.

Returning from the main office building, Yu Decai was still talking to Li Xuewu about this work.

The Rolling Mill is going to open more than a dozen construction sites this year, and the Trade Management Center also has a new office development plan; the security force is a bit stretched.

"And!"

Yu Decai looked at Li Xuewu and emphasized, "The construction site will gradually transform into a factory area and a living area, and the need for security forces will further increase."

"What are your thoughts?"

Li Xuewu crushed the cigarette butt in his hand, glanced at Yu Decai, and said, "Expansion?"

"Have to be so."

Yu Decai nodded and said, "Expansion is the first step, updating the management system is the second step, and later the security mechanism may have to change at any time."

"Mm, understand, normal."

Li Xuewu nodded, threw the cigarette butt into the trash can he passed by, and agreed, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Just wanted to report to you."

Yu Decai said while walking, "I looked at this year's personnel system; although there are many factory entry indicators, they are all for production units."

"So..."

He looked at Li Xuewu hesitantly and asked, "Can we make an article out of personnel renewal?"

"You want to select people from the eliminated workers in the positions?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his mind around, signaled to the building entrance, and said, "Tell me, it's interesting."

"Mainly want to establish a security grading system, liberate young strength, and fully utilize existing resources."

Yu Decai followed behind Li Xuewu into the Security Building and explained, "If we occupy production personnel indicators, we have to add a burden to the factory."

"But if we select excellent personnel from the eliminated positions to fill the basic duty posts,"

He turned to Li Xuewu and said seriously, "It's not only reducing pressure for the factory, but also an action to boost morale and liberate thinking."

"Mm, talk about the security grading system."

Li Xuewu was quite interested in the suggestion Yu Decai put forward; grading is the most commonly used means in management, and it has more constraints and promotion effects.

Currently, the Rolling Mill's security group is mainly composed of a management layer and an execution layer.

The management layer is the organ unit above the section level, and the execution layer is the action force and duty force at the section level and below.

The hierarchical distribution of the management layer naturally goes without saying, determined according to rank and position.

But in the execution layer, except for clear team leaders or small team leaders, although section-level leaders exist, they aren't normal ranks.

Taking the Security Division's Security Section as an example, except for the section chief, other security guards have no hierarchical distinction.

There are older ones who have to manage younger security guards in terms of age or experience.

However, this situation only applies to units with a small scope and small security mobility.

Starting this year, the Rolling Mill will build three major industrial zones, two major worker new villages, and other offices and sanatoriums in the next five years.

According to Li Xuewu's management definition of the security group, all security personnel must be recruited and deployed from the general factory to ensure mobility.

The traditional master-apprentice relationship and old-leading-new relationship will be weakened in management ability in a high-intensity duty and mobile environment.

Without a system, management will be chaotic, and there will be mistakes, and even crises.

Yu Decai has a keen observation ability in internal management; after returning to the security group, he began to investigate the current management needs.

Today, he took advantage of the office meeting in the factory to speak his thoughts, which was recognized by Li Xuewu.

He began to speak: "All first-line execution positions are determined by ability, seniority, and existing functional positions."

"Including section-level management positions, organ execution positions, and fire-fighting positions, set up cadres, first-level security, second-level security, and third-level security."

Yu Decai walked on Li Xuewu's side, introducing while gesturing, telling Li Xuewu his thoughts.

Reaching the third floor, Peng Xiaoli was waiting at the stairs; he first smiled apologetically at the deputy group leader, then whispered, "Section Chief Yu of the Confidentiality Department is here."

Li Xuewu paused, raised his eyebrows, swept his gaze over Peng Xiaoli, and looked toward the end of the corridor.

Yu Decai also stopped talking, waiting for his reaction.

He also knew a bit about Yu Daru's matter and knew this was Li Xuewu's layout outside the factory, so he didn't dare to say much.

"You continue."

Li Xuewu didn't think about letting him wait or putting this matter aside.

"The grading matter is very necessary; the factory will have great development this year, and the Security Division cannot stand still."

"Yes."

Yu Decai first responded, glanced at the corridor, and knew he had to keep it short.

"Warehouse posts, gate posts, and duty security posts can be graded as third-level, still based on existing security."

He said, "Select a batch of workers from the eliminated competitors in the post competition who have strong execution but aren't suitable for production work, and after training and exercise, combine them with existing security to form a third-level security structure."

"Fully liberate security with strong execution, as well as young strength in various branch factories and offices, to form second-level security, responsible for escort, protection, patrol, and other tasks."

"Mobilize excellent investigation and defense personnel to form first-level security, responsible for security, supervision, inspection, and confidentiality work."

Speaking of this, the three had already walked to the door of Yu Decai's office.

He stood still and said, "Select excellent talents at all levels to be appointed as cadres, form backbone management strength, and stabilize the basic execution structure of the security group..."

"Deputy Director Li."

Yu Decai was speaking when Yu Daru walked out of Li Xuewu's office and even greeted him.

Li Xuewu just nodded at him, then looked at Yu Decai again.

"I agree with this opinion; first organize the research materials, then make a specific implementation plan and hand it to me together."

"Oh, by the way."

Just about to walk, he turned back and pointed at Yu Decai, saying, "Supervision, inspection, confidentiality, training, fire-fighting, etc. —all functional execution forces must be included in this transformation."

"Yes."

Yu Decai looked at Yu Daru, who seemed a bit anxious, and asked Li Xuewu, "Should the specific treatment be changed?"

"Of course it should be changed!"

Li Xuewu said seriously, "Determine the post, determine the grade, determine the treatment; whether he is a third-level worker or a fourth-level worker in the workshop, in the security group, he must follow the new system."

Grading management doesn't just divide management authority, but also wages and treatment; transferring from the workshop to the Security Division, the original wage grade naturally has to change.

Unless you choose to retire.

"Be strict, otherwise it won't be possible to do it later."

Li Xuewu pointed at Yu Decai, then greeted Yu Daru and entered the office.

"Deputy Director Li, sorry to disturb..."

Yu Daru was a bit terrified looking at Li Xuewu now, but with a knife at his neck, he had to come.

However, before he could finish his polite words, Li Xuewu waved his hand, interrupting him: "If you have something to say, say it; no need for these empty things."

"..."

Yu Daru was choked up; he didn't have the ease and comfort of coming here before.

The Rolling Mill really stopped the Confidentiality Department's trade train and sent a takeover notice to the Confidentiality Department.

But who in the Confidentiality Department dared to receive this notice? Receiving it would be equivalent to them violating regulations by getting the train back.

Not receive it?

Whether they received it or not, the Rolling Mill had stopped paying the Confidentiality Department since last month.

Yu Daru looked at Li Xuewu, who didn't even have the polite words to let him sit, and the meaning in his words was to let him finish and leave quickly; he was really aggrieved.

"Deputy Director Li, it's Saturday today."

He tried to smile and said, "See if you have time tonight; our leader wants to invite you for a simple meal."

"No."

Li Xuewu answered very crisply. At the moment Yu Daru's smile stiffened, he pointed to the documents on the table and said, "Really no; the business trip delayed things, and I have to work overtime today."

"Work... overtime?"

Yu Daru really wanted to ask Li Xuewu, even if you want to humiliate me, why find such a rotten excuse?

Do you really think you are a model worker who eats and sleeps in his clothes and is busy with a thousand tasks? ===== CHAPTER 985 =====

It wasn't too far; after sending him, he would go straight to pick up Peng Xiaoli and go to the Rolling Mill, and come to pick him up at noon.

The Third Guard Regiment—he had to deal with the weapons and the case.

Li Xuewu was preparing to give a big one to that bastard who was hiding behind the scenes. ===== CHAPTER 984 =====

Turning a blind eye, the anger is hard to dissipate.

However, he knew that even if the two of them were together, nothing would happen; they were both decent people.

Seeing Seeing Sha Zhu turn around, Li Xuewu smiled and pointed over there for Yushui to see.

After she looked, he said again: "I'm going to put on my clothes; I'll wait for you at the door."

Yushui glanced at her brother, the corners of her mouth curled down, and when she heard Li Xuewu's words, she glared at his back again.

She really wanted to say: Why are you so confident that I will definitely go with you?!

Brushing the lunch box in her hand, because she was thinking about things, she couldn't help but use force.

But looking at the lunch box in her hand, she felt both angry and amused.

Amused at what she was doing this for, and angry at him for teasing her, and angry at herself for not being strong enough, letting her mind wander wildly when she saw him.

Especially last week in the Daozuofang, she didn't know what kind of wind she had caught, wanting to take the initiative to provoke him.

She brushed the lunch box clean, shook off the water, packed it in a box cover separately, and carried it toward the door, without any intention of looking back to see if her brother was staring at her.

This is not stealing, so why feel guilty!

At the door, Li Xuewu had already put on his overcoat and hat and was waiting for her.

"You're so precious!"

He Yu Shui handed the lunch box in her hand to Li Xuewu and said, looking for something to say: "Others use wool to knit, but you insist on using genuine leather!"

"I think you're the genuine leather~"
