Chapter 1216 My Upright Second Brother
"Um--"

When Peng Xiaoli saw Li Xue appear at the office door, he quickly put out the cigarette in his hand.

Especially when he saw her frowning, he hurriedly grabbed the notebook and fanned it.

Seeing that it didn't work, he simply opened the small window in the office.

A cold wind blew in, completely dispersing the turbid air and almost blowing Li Xue away.

“It’s just an office this big!”

She tightened her clothes, frowned and glanced at Gu Cheng on the sofa, and said to Peng Xiaoli: "If someone didn't know, I would think you were having a barbecue."

Gu Cheng looked at his good brother busying himself in a daze, then looked at the hand that had just held the cigarette, but now it was empty as the cigarette butt had been snatched away by Peng Xiaoli.

What the hell are you doing!
In order to please the girl, you even ignored your brothers, right? Are you a human being?

"Gu Cheng, don't you have something to do?"

Before he could react, Peng Xiaoli winked at him again and said with a laugh, "Ahem, you go back first."

Fuck you, Peng Xiaoli!
Gu Cheng’s back teeth were about to break from biting. What a bastard who has no humanity towards the opposite sex!

When did I say something was wrong?
He just stayed there without moving, and Peng Xiaoli was so anxious that he wanted to come over and pull him up.

Why? Because the office was too small, with only one long sofa. Gu Cheng sat here, so where did Li Xue sit?

Peng Xiaoli would never agree to let Li Xue and Gu Cheng sit together, even if he was beaten to death.

Therefore, good brothers are there to be kicked at this time. If they don’t leave, they will become enemies!

"Stop making trouble, do you think I'm blind?"

Li Xue glared at Peng Xiaoli, pushed Gu Cheng, who was about to stand up with an indignant look on his face, and motioned for him to sit down.

He didn't care about Peng Xiaoli's wide eyes and just sat next to Gu Cheng.

Although they were said to be sitting together, in fact the long sofa was very wide and they were not touching.

But this distance was enough to make Peng Xiaoli concerned, and he even hated why he was not the one sitting there.

"What are you two whispering about together?"

Li Xue sat on the sofa with her legs folded, glanced at the two of them and asked, "Is there something wrong? I've been watching you for several days."

"You must be paying attention to me, right?"

Gu Cheng knew what Peng Xiaoli was thinking, so he leaned over and asked with a smile, "Could it be..."

"Snapped--"

Li Xue was direct and gently hit Gu Cheng's face with the leather gloves on her hand.

"Don't try that on me. I'm not some office girl. I don't like pretentiousness."

“Hehehe——”

Gu Cheng, who was hit, touched his face and smiled awkwardly: "I don't like it either."

"Then let's talk about something serious," Li Xue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who are you staring at?"

"You may have misunderstood—"

Gu Cheng glanced at Peng Xiaoli behind the desk and explained, "I just came here to sit down."

"Ahem, yes, he has nothing to do."

Peng Xiaoli also coughed lightly, trying to look relaxed and explained along with his good brother: "We have always been good friends."

“From the beginning, it has been downgraded.”

Gu Cheng glanced at him with concern, then turned back to Li Xue and said, "We are just ordinary colleagues now."

"You fucking bastard..." Peng Xiaoli gritted his teeth, glared at Gu Cheng, then turned to Li Xue and smiled, saying, "There's really nothing going on between us. Why are you here?"

"You two are indeed a good pair!"

Li Xue crossed her arms and looked at the two of them, then pouted and said, "You are so tacit in interrupting each other."

"That..." Gu Cheng heard her say this and looked at Peng Xiaoli hesitantly.

I don’t know if I should confess now, after all, I have already resisted once.

Resistance is futile. It is not shameful to confess now, and there is also a policy of leniency for those who confess.

He didn't want to make enemies with Li Xue for no reason, and he didn't want to lose such a relationship because of his dog friend.

Among all the coincidences in the agency, the personal relationship between these three is the best.

There are many convenient conditions for mutual assistance in intelligence exchange, business dealings, and rumor analysis.

Now Li Xue came over to question the two of them, and Gu Cheng felt like a traitor.

Looking at Peng Xiaoli again, he had no intention of confessing. He glared at Gu Cheng and tried to resist.

"Cough-cough-"

He just coughed lightly and was about to speak when Li Xue opened her mouth.

"Is Ding Zhi from the External Affairs Office your classmate? He's been very active recently."

She directly called out Peng Xiaoli's arrangement, turned her head and looked at Gu Cheng, whose eyes were wide open, and asked, "Has the issue of the small car team checking the oil tickets come to nothing?"

"Ahem——"

Gu Cheng lowered his head and tried to clear his throat, then secretly glanced at Peng Xiaoli opposite him.

Peng Xiaoli glared at him again, signaling him to calm down and not say anything out loud.

But Gu Cheng couldn't stand it anymore. If he let her continue talking, she would tell him everything about herself.

"Peng Xiaoli asked me to do this—"

It must be said that Gu Cheng was really loyal. He withstood two rounds of questioning before betraying his good brother.

Now that you've already betrayed each other, let's do it thoroughly and save each other from wasting time.

"This matter has nothing to do with me. Peng Xiaoli pulled me aside and wanted to keep an eye on me..."

"You are keeping an eye on Zhang Shicheng, right?"

Before Gu Cheng could confess and get leniency, Li Xue had already revealed their goals.

Gu Cheng looked up in surprise, and seeing the seriousness on Li Xue's face, he confirmed the fact.

Turning to look at Peng Xiaoli, he even began to suspect whether his brother had leaked the secret.

Peng Xiaoli was also shocked. He was more worried that Li Xue would find out. Then the other party...

"Why are you staring at Zhang Shicheng?"

Li Xue looked at Peng Xiaoli, the "mastermind" of this incident, and speculated, "Is it for him? Or is it some big shot behind him?"

"Who asked you to do this?"

She frowned and asked, "Aren't you afraid of getting into big trouble? You don't have the qualifications to investigate, right?"

"Um - Comrade Li Xue, please listen to my explanation," Gu Cheng said, approaching Li Xue and explaining, "It's because I found a problem..."

"If you find a problem, you should report it."

Li Xue looked back at him and reminded him, "Can you guys check this kind of thing on your own?"

"It's important not to make things complicated."

She looked at Peng Xiaoli and said, "You'd better tell Deputy Director Li about this."

Li Xue was not worried that what Peng Xiaoli and Gu Cheng were doing would cause any uproar in the factory.

But Peng Xiaoli's identity is bound to involve Li Xuewu, and the turmoil will also affect his second brother who is about to change his position.

Everyone knows who is behind Zhang Shicheng. Any rash action will surely alert the other party, and he may even take direct action against her second brother.

By then, I will be like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, with no way to express my pain.
-

"Do you know why we are keeping an eye on Zhang Shicheng?"

Seeing that she already knew so much, Peng Xiaoli revealed his cards.

"Of course it's not just the person behind him. The one you think is who he is is not who we think he is."

"Uh..." Gu Cheng touched Li Xue with the back of his hand and reminded her, "This matter is very complicated."

"You think Deputy Director Cheng is behind Zhang Shicheng, right?"

Peng Xiaoli ignored Gu Cheng's hint and continued to explain: "But we found that it is not as simple as that. There are other mysteries hidden in it."

"He's the deputy director of the division of the Commission Office, right?"

Li Xue moved her mouth but still spoke out. Everyone in the organization was saying that there was a conflict between Deputy Director Shi and Deputy Director Li. Are you talking about him?
"Is it possible? He's just a pawn!"

Peng Xiaoli stood up and walked to the desk and leaned against it.

"This matter cannot be accurately judged simply by the theory of who benefits and who is the mastermind."

He looked down at Li Xue and said, "We need to find out who is behind this."

"What we can confirm now is that the story that Hu Yanqiu broke her leg during her personal leave is probably false."

Seeing that he had already talked about this, Gu Cheng took the initiative to introduce: "I personally investigated and found that Hu Yanqiu was not at home, and there was no one else at her parents' home."

"If you really fell and got hurt, shouldn't you just stay at home and recover?"

He shook his head slightly and said, "But this person disappeared without a trace. He came and went without a trace."

"In the month before she disappeared, she took two personal leave, both to go to the hospital."

Gu Cheng opened his notebook and talked seriously about his recent investigation.

"What's strange is that there is a hospital in the factory, but she chose to go to another hospital instead."

"A strange place appeared."

Gu Cheng pointed at his notebook and said, "There was no specific hospital information both times."

"I checked the information I reported at work and there is no medical record at all. She is lying."

"so what?"

Li Xue glanced at the two of them and asked, "Do you suspect Zhang Shicheng of murder? Or..."

"Stop making trouble. He doesn't even dare to kill a chicken."

Gu Cheng curled his lips and said, "We now suspect that it was Zhang Shicheng who hid Hu Yanqiu."

"Why? Why did he hide Hu Yanqiu?" Li Xue frowned slightly and asked, "What is the purpose of your investigation?"

"Everything happens for a reason, and every cause has its effect."

Gu Cheng curled his lips and sneered, "Zhang Shicheng had an ambiguous relationship with Hu Yanqiu before, but later everyone found out that Zhang Shicheng had been married for a long time."

"Then the question is, what does Hu Yanqiu want?" He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Are there any girls with decent jobs who want him because he's handsome?"

"Hu Yanqiu must have a connection with the person behind the scenes, or there must be something wrong with her."

Peng Xiaoli interrupted, “The leadership once arranged for someone to investigate the issue of foreign trade information leakage.”

"From what I have learned, Hu Yanqiu was present at the scene and had the opportunity or channels to learn about the situation indirectly. She is highly suspected."

"It just so happened that she almost became the director of the canteen," Gu Cheng took over the conversation and said, "If Deputy Director Li hadn't arranged for Deputy Director Yang, she would have really jumped out of this matter."

“And she has a lot of energy!”

Peng Xiaoli crossed his arms and said, "I couldn't get into the canteen, so I went to the External Affairs Office and worked under Director Sha."

"It's a coincidence that not long after she went to the Foreign Affairs Office, Zhang Shicheng also went there."

He raised his eyebrows and said, "The External Affairs Office was established by Director Sha. He knows the key points best."

"You mean..." Li Xue had thought of something and frowned slightly, "They have interests in the Foreign Affairs Office... Impossible?"

"How is that impossible?" Gu Cheng turned to another page in his notebook and introduced: "After Zhang Shicheng went to the Foreign Affairs Office, Hu Yanqiu took charge of the cancellation."

“You may not know how much financial budget capacity the Foreign Affairs Office has.”

He shook his head slightly and said, "The External Affairs Office is responsible for external receptions and special commodity procurement."

"Some office expenses will be incurred during external entertainment and business communications."

“Some of this funding is fake!”

Gu Cheng curled his lips in disdain and said, "What a lucrative job! I'm so envious."

He said to Peng Xiaoli, "We in the small car team can only deduct some pocket money for car repairs and gas tickets. We dare not do anything big."

"That's against the rules and regulations—"

Li Xue frowned and glared at him, reminding him: "If you are caught by the disciplinary supervisor, you will be expelled!"

"Yes! Yes! Comrade Li Xue is right—" Gu Cheng pointed at Peng Xiaoli righteously and emphasized: "These people are too shameful. They even dared to touch the office funds. They should all be fired!"

"Don't be sarcastic, I understand."

Li Xue glanced at him and reminded him, "Have some ambition. If you are greedy for even that little money..."

"You think I don't know?"

Gu Cheng said helplessly: "I am not greedy myself. I know I have my own pursuits, but what about the drivers?"

"They are all trying to support their families. You say eighty cents is not a lot of money, but for them..."

"A thousand-mile dam can be breached by a single ant hole."

Li Xue looked at him seriously and said, "If you indulge them today, they won't be grateful to you if they are caught tomorrow. You'd better take care of yourself."

"Let's get back to the topic," Peng Xiaoli saw the two of them arguing and quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Zhang Shicheng and Hu Yanqiu should not only have a problem of falsely reporting office expenses," he said seriously. "Deputy Director Cheng should have some problems related to Hu Yanqiu, not just financially."

"He hid Hu Yanqiu, which is very likely related to the working group."

Gu Cheng said calmly: "Because it was rumored that the working group would come in September, and Hu Yanqiu started to ask for leave in September."

"That is to say...but?"

Li Xue followed what the two said and was about to talk about the relationship between Zhang Shicheng and Deputy Director Cheng.

However, at the very beginning, Peng Xiaoli had already said that there might not only be Deputy Director Cheng behind Zhang Shicheng, but there might be more complicated relationships.

Peng Xiaoli certainly knew what Li Xue was confused about. He shook his head slightly and said, "The reason we say this is that the relationship between Zhang Shicheng and Deputy Director Cheng has become ambiguous and subtle. Don't you feel it?"

Li Xue wanted to say, what did I feel?

"Zhang Shicheng is too close to the deputy director of the division, which makes Deputy Director Cheng uncomfortable."

Gu Cheng sat sideways on the sofa and took the initiative to explain to her: "It's only been a short time, and he has been reprimanded by Deputy Director Cheng several times. Is this normal?"

"But... isn't he in the External Affairs Office?" Li Xue frowned and said, "Deputy Director Cheng is not directly in charge of the work of the Commission Office."

"That's the key point—" Peng Xiaoli pointed at her and reminded her, "Don't forget that it was Deputy Director Cheng who made the arrangements for Zhang Shicheng to go to the Foreign Affairs Office."

"There must be a reason why I'm being scolded now."

"I just hope their relationship isn't too complicated—"

Gu Cheng sneered disdainfully and said, "Zhang Shicheng was originally Deputy Director Cheng's secretary, and it was Deputy Director Cheng who helped him go to the Foreign Affairs Office."

"Logically speaking, Zhang Shicheng is now under the management of the deputy director of the Commission Office, so it doesn't matter if he gets closer to him."

"but--"

He tilted his head slightly and smiled oddly, "You got too close. You can't even do your job properly."

“Deputy Director Cheng hopes to do more work through the Foreign Affairs Office and use it as a springboard to master foreign trade.”

"But Zhang Shicheng was not doing his job well, but Shi Ruoweng took over and played a role in several confrontations with Deputy Director Li."

He glanced at Peng Xiaoli, smiled and said to Li Xue: "Now we are confused too, who is this kid following?"

"Let's talk to Deputy Director Cheng, but he always scolds us. Let's talk to Deputy Director Shi, but he doesn't have the qualifications. Let's talk to Director Li..."

"It's even more impossible——"

Peng Xiaoli curled his lips and said, "Master Ruo Weng is also being scolded now."

"Hehehe——"

Gu Cheng chuckled and said, "That's true. Shi Ruoweng obviously did something behind Director Li's back, and now he is not popular."

"As soon as the working group arrived, all kinds of weird things popped up."

He turned to look at Li Xue and said, "Now you know what we are doing, right?"

"There's no need to let the leaders know about these things. The leaders will know when they should know, right?"

"I understand what you mean, Li Xue."

Gu Cheng confessed Peng Xiaoli's thoughts and plans, and his focus was still on Li Xue.

“But this is my job and this is how I work.”

He emphasized seriously: "I know exactly what I am doing and I will be responsible for my actions."

"Even if you don't trust me, you should trust your leader's ability to identify and employ people."

Li Xue looked at him for a long time before nodding, standing up and walking out.
-

Li Xue has been very worried recently. The leader of the working group, Yang Jun, has been following her second brother for many days. There are many different opinions in the agency about his purpose.

Some said that they were investigating Li Xuewu, some said that Li Xuewu wanted to sell out his master for fame, and some said that the higher-ups wanted to cut off the source of his troubles...

After all, Li Xue is still young, and influenced by the outside world, so it is inevitable that she is upset.

She had already told her second brother about it once during the first few days when the working group came, but he didn't seem to be on guard.

Don't be afraid of not doing good things, just be afraid of not having good people.

Li Xue knew too much about the people in the Red Star Factory, and how many of them wanted to bring down her second brother.

Is he an enemy? Of course not, he is just jealous. There shouldn't be too many such people.

However, she accidentally ran into Peng Xiaoli who was investigating Zhang Shicheng, and thought that Peng Xiaoli wanted to do something reckless and was eager for quick success.

She works in the main office building opposite, and what she comes into contact with, hears, and sees on a daily basis is more than what happens here.

It was also an accident that someone bumped into Peng Xiaoli, but what was even more surprising was that the hole in the Office of External Relations was so big.

Then why wasn't it blocked when the sand device was there?
Perhaps, she thought more complicatedly, this big hole was left on purpose?
When Sha Qizhi was there, there were never any problems with the Foreign Affairs Office. Now that he is gone, he has nothing to do with the current Foreign Affairs Office.

So, she was right?

Since the layout began in the Foreign Affairs Office until today, this pit has been getting bigger and bigger, and more and more pits are connected. How many people are going to be deceived!

The key is, who set up these traps?
Could it be her second brother? Impossible!

How could her own second brother not understand? He was quite straightforward in doing things and even offended some people for it, otherwise there would be no office system.

Especially when he is in charge of the security team, he is a model of strict self-discipline and sincerity to others. Everyone in the factory says that their second brother is upright and responsible.

Since it wasn't the second brother who did it, then it must be... it must be Peng Xiaoli. Just look at him... just look at Gu Cheng, he doesn't look like a good person!

What good can Peng Xiaoli learn from hanging out with a lazy person like Gu Cheng?

That’s right, it must be these two people!

As for my second brother——

Maybe, possibly, he gave the two of them some instructions or advice.

After all, these two people are idiots! ——

Wednesday, December 17th.

Li Xuewu attended the opening ceremony of the fourth dual emergency plan training class.

This training course has a three-month session, and theoretically there are four sessions per year. It has been going on for more than a year.

The original training base was on the mountain, that is, Hongxing Village, where the training base of Red Star Factory was located.

However, with the establishment of the joint school, except for the training courses which have a greater weightage on practical courses, all other theoretical courses are conducted in the joint school.

This greatly reduces the pressure of training and reduces the use of training funds.

After all, holding classes in the city and holding classes in the mountains are two different things.

The joint school, which was completed in September this year, covers a large area, and the parts belonging to the Vocational Education College and the Continuing Education College are the largest.

The Red Star Factory's cadre training classes, business training classes, night schools, etc. will all be held here.

Of course, it also includes dual-plan training classes. Their theoretical courses are learned in the classroom, and practical courses will be conducted in the Red Star Factory Fire Department.

As a key skill training base, it has trained a large number of safety production management talents for the Northeast and North China regions.

This place will continue to provide training and talent delivery functions to more regions and enterprises.

Vocational and technical colleges have a major in safety engineering management. After systematic study and training, these students can also be specially recruited.

The United School is a wholly-owned education system of the Red Star Factory, but not all students who graduate from here will work in the factory.

Just like not all the people sitting in the training class are students from the Red Star Factory.

Li Xuewu had only attended the first training course. This was his second time. The deputy director attended on his behalf on the two other occasions.

It’s Hongxing Village. He hasn’t been there for nearly a year. This is how the head of a department does his job.

His attendance at today's opening ceremony not only facilitates his time as this training course has been moved to the United School, but also reflects his concern for continuing education.

In particular, this time the training class was officially transferred from the Security Group to the Personnel Department and the Organization Department.

The future Red Star Factory and the future group will have the Organization Department and the Personnel Department to coordinate and manage training work.

Changes in office systems, personnel, technology, production...many businesses of Red Star Factory are changing.

Similarly, there have been certain adjustments in management structure and functions.

This was a fine-tuning work coordinated by Li Xuewu as the deputy director of the commission's office.

The functions of the relevant departments are divided and summarized within the existing framework to cope with the upcoming promotion and groupization.

In the future, after being transformed into a group, the Red Star Factory will resume the multi-department management model, that is, the existing groupings will be opened.

Before that, responsibilities must be separated.

Some people say that the group-level management structure has only been implemented for a few days. From 66 to now, it has only been a year and a half.

Times have changed. The group-level office system had its own considerations at the time, and now it is preparing to be dismantled, which is also in response to the changes of the times.

Just like you have to take off your clothes when you go to bed at night and put on clothes when you wake up during the day.

Can you say it’s too much trouble to wear clothes to sleep at night?

There was another characteristic when Li Xuewu attended the opening ceremony.

It's the end of the year, and the inspection team of leadership team members that has been rumored for so long has finally arrived. Red Star Factory is about to usher in changes in its management.

Speculations about Li Xuewu's new position or new post are even greater than speculations about the adjustment of factory leadership positions.

Li Xuewu has been considered a legendary figure in the Red Star Factory in recent years, and everyone wants to see how he rose to the top.

This kind of discussion and debate is not a glorious or honorable thing for Li Xuewu.

The best way to calm down the debate or cool down the heat is to attend some events.

Li Xuewu's appearance here represents a beginning and an end.

He was the one who started the first training course and he was the one who took over the last course, which also symbolizes the upcoming handover of power and position.

A very clear signal is sent: going up is a temptation, and going down is a stability.

This signal may seem stable from below, but to those who are careful, they can see an atmosphere of impending storm.

There will be a lot of excitement at the Red Star Factory.
-

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you just come back?"

As soon as Li Xuewu rang the doorbell, he saw the gate of the courtyard open from the inside, followed by Qin Jingru's complaints.

She didn't dare to say it to Li Xuewu, but she really wanted to say it to Han Jiankun, but she couldn't.

At this moment, Han Jiankun was in the car, preparing to back into the garage.

"Something happened suddenly and I was delayed."

Li Xuewu explained, motioned to the courtyard and asked, "Is Xiaoning back?"

"What do you think? It's been a while since then!"

Qin Jingru was getting really impatient. Normally she would be home around 6:45, but now it was already 7:30.

On normal days, if Li Xuewu said he would not be coming back, he would definitely call home.

There was no phone call today, so she naturally cooked on time, but the food was getting cold and the two of them hadn't come back yet.

"How is Li Shu? Is she feeling better?"

"It's nothing, I just still cough."

Qin Jingru didn't wait for Han Jiankun, and followed Li Xuewu into the hallway. As she walked toward the kitchen, she said, "He's got a big runny nose."

I don’t know if he caught a cold on the way because he was sent to the compound every day, or if he caught a cold in the compound.

When I came back the day before yesterday, I had a fever and coughed a few times.

Li Xuewu was not worried, but Qin Jingru was scared to death.

Not only the big one, there is also a small one at home.

Gu Ning took a look and found that it was just a common cold. He didn't even give him any medicine, but only did some physical cooling.

It’s not that she is a cruel stepmother, but that she understands the cruelty of Western medicine better.

In fact, even those who don’t study medicine know that there is no specific medicine for colds.

As long as you don't have a high fever or lung infection, you will be able to get through it with your body.

As long as you can get through it, you will have immunity.

Li Shu was quite playful. Even though she had a fever, it didn't stop her from having fun.

This child was born with a big heart. Gu Ning and Qin Jingru took turns using plastic bags filled with cold water to cool her down, but she didn't get angry.

Li Xuewu coaxed the little one for two days, and finally Li Ning could crawl and became a big trouble.

He was curious about everything he saw and had to taste it with his mouth, but he was not as smart as Li Shu was when she was a child.

When Li Shu was a child, her family didn't teach her much. They told her not to touch or taste anything, so she wouldn't eat it.

But Li Ning is not like that. Like a beard, he will insist on trying things that you don't let him touch, and he will even pull you with his little hands as if you are in the way.

The objects and furnishings in this house may not be a big deal to adults, but for children who don't understand anything, they are very dangerous.

Those flowers I bought at the beginning had a very unfortunate fate.

Having just experienced Li Shu’s bullying, now he is facing Li Ning’s tyranny.

"dad--"

Before Li Xuewu had changed into slippers, the two little ones had already come up.

Li Shu ran and Li Ning crawled, which made Li Xuewu both intoxicated and amused.

Who knows the feeling of having both a son and a daughter?

"Wait, wait until dad takes off his coat."

Li Ning had already arrived. Seeing his sister's shameless look, he also stood up by holding on to his father's calf.

The little guy's hands are very strong. He can even pull down Li Xuewu's pants when he is wearing pajamas.

With his children around him, Li Xuewu was so happy that he was about to burst into tears.

"I want this side, I want this side—"

Li Shu bullied Li Ning for not being able to speak and took the initiative to choose the direction in which she wanted to be hugged.

Li Xuewu picked up his daughter with amusement and then lifted up his son.

That’s why people say that a father is a strongman for his children. It would be fine if he only had one child, but if he had a son and a daughter, at least they would have to have Li Xuewu’s body.

If there were five or six children...

Forget about Hercules, even Transformers would have to kneel down if they came.

"Wipe your nose. It's almost rubbing against daddy."

Gu Ning stood up, tore off some toilet paper and handed it to Li Shu, and reminded her: "Don't twist your nose too hard--"

"I know, Mom—"

Li Shu had a nasal discomfort and spoke with a nasal tone, but she couldn't hide her cheerful mood.

He was so happy that every time he went home, he could see his daughter's smiling face, even when she was sick.

As a father, Li Xuewu can also relieve all his fatigue after seeing this smiling face.

"Eat, and give me the child."

Qin Jingru came out of the restaurant in a hurry. She took Li Shu's baby and put it on the ground, then took the little one's.

Li Ning doesn't care, as long as someone holds him, it doesn't matter who it is.

The child likes the sight of adults very much, and he is also used to being held by his grandmother. Recently, his grandmother came home and he became a "crawler".

Qin Jingru has to do housework, and Gu Ning can take care of the child when she comes back, but she will never hold him in her arms all the time.

So the "good dad" came back and became Li Ning's Optimus Prime.

Of course, he is also his daughter's protective umbrella.

When he was around, her mother would never teach her too seriously.

"Have you eaten?"

Han Jiankun, who entered the room with him, came to the restaurant and saw only two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, so he asked a question.

Qin Jingru came in holding the child and motioned for Han Jiankun to serve the soup, saying, "I can't wait. The two little ones are hungry."

"What did you eat?"

Li Xuewu turned around and pinched his son's big face, then asked with a smile: "Steamed buns again?"

"It's really strange that he won't eat anything else."

Qin Jingru held him and sat on the sofa, while Li Shu climbed onto a chair and sat beside him.

Han Jiankun brought him a bowl of soup. After sitting down, he picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat, but was confronted by Qin Jingru.

"Be careful of the wind in your stomach!"

She said impatiently, "I've told you so many times, drink some hot water or hot soup before entering the house."

Han Jiankun was used to being submissive. He just raised his head and looked at his leader who put down his chopsticks and picked up the soup bowl, with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

Really, just say it to me!
In fact, they just became familiar with each other after living together. Qin Jingru was in charge of the family's food, drink and housework, so it was inevitable that she would nag.

When she was talking about Han Jiankun, she might have been talking about Li Xuewu.

Sometimes, even though Han Jiankun had nothing to do with it, he still got criticized, just like the book boy who accompanied the prince to study.

Can the prince be beaten?
"If you come back later, you have to call me."

Gu Ning walked in and reminded him, then went to the kitchen to add another bowl of rice for him.

"Someone from the publishing house came to my office and delayed me."

Li Xuewu took the bowl and explained, "I didn't expect to chat for so long. It's time to watch more."

“Have you finished your book?”

Qin Jingru asked in surprise: "So fast? Too easy, right?"

"This soup is a bit salty—"

Han Jiankun really didn't know how to remind her not to talk too much, so he could only give her a subtle hint.

It’s not that the soup is a bit salty, it’s that she is a bit idle.

Qin Jingru also knew that she shouldn't ask this, but she glared at Han Jiankun, thinking he was meddling. Didn't she think about it herself?
Li Xuewu didn't think much of it and said with a smile, "Is this fast? There are only over 100,000 words in total, and it took me nearly three months to write."

It is indeed slow. If compared with a certain online author in later generations who updated more than 10,000 articles every day for three consecutive years, he is a scumbag.

"Which publisher did you give it to?"

Gu Ning was afraid that Li Shu would fall, so he pulled out a chair and sat next to her to play with her.

She knew that Li Xuewu was writing and had read the manuscript. It was not a novel but a book on thoughts in the popular sense.

If you read it for entertainment, it will be boring, but if you use it for work, the ideas and thoughts in it are worth learning.

It’s not that she is bragging about her lover. She really admires Li Xuewu’s talent and likes his outstanding character even more.

"Well, the Steel Academy Press."

While Li Xuewu was talking, Li Ning crawled from Qin Jingru's side to his feet and stretched out his hands for a hug.

It's like this every day. He can't stay in the child's chair anymore, and he has to get up from the ground in the middle of a meal.

Li Xuewu didn't mind, he held his son on his lap, and while eating, he explained: "Didn't the factory set up a new newspaper?"

"Red Star United Industrial News?"

As they got married for a while, Gu Ning knew more about the affairs of the Red Star Factory.

The family also listened to the Red Star Factory's radio program, and the morning newspaper also included a copy of the United Industrial News.

She would also read it when she had free time, and could see Li Xuewu's articles from time to time.

Although the United Industrial News was jointly issued by factories, the quality of the newspaper was very high, especially with the strong support of the Red Star Factory.

One characteristic of factory newspapers is that they have a narrow scope and strong limitations.

However, the United Industrial News broke with the norm and actively broadened its horizons, publishing many articles on advanced experiences and technologies.

Even some articles written by grassroots workers were published in the ideological education section, which were simple but full of enthusiasm.

In cooperation with the radio station and based on the existing base of tens of thousands of employees at the Red Star Factory, the newspaper's circulation is very good.

Li Xuewu mentioned this because when the United Daily News was established, it was run as a publishing house.

He was more careful during the guidance process. The publishing industry has gone through a round of changes in recent years, and only a few influential ones are left.

The establishment of a publishing house by the Red Star Factory at this time facilitated the compilation and publication of teaching materials and supplementary materials for the joint school.

On the other hand, it also facilitates the issuance of some practical operating instructions within the Red Star Factory.

Finally, it has a certain position in the propaganda field, and United Industrial Press is a rising star.

Li Xuewu has published two books, one is "Criminal Psychology" on criminal investigation, and the other is "Specifications" on safety management.

The latter is not a personal publication, but rather a textbook or industry guide.

The royalties at that time were very high, and Li Xuewu generously donated them all, which even attracted the attention of reporters.

This behavior just reflects his keen sense of smell and unique observation.

Li Huaide even suspected at one point that he had opened his third eye.

why?
Because in the past two years, many similar books have been confiscated.

The relevant authors were also implicated.

However, books like "Criminal Psychology" that obviously have "flaws" have been retained. Why do you think so?
First of all, within the system and industry, this book has become a guide for front-line investigative forces and has a great influence.

The second is Li Xuewu’s personal influence. The medal on his chest has blocked many bullets.

Finally, he donated his royalties without asking for a penny. Both books were work books, so he felt safer after being featured in newspapers.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Yang Jun is curious about Li Xuewu and can buy his books in the bookstore.

"I was still hesitant about writing this book," Li Xuewu let out a long sigh and said to Gu Ning, "You know my concerns."

"But today the Iron and Steel Institute Press came to talk to me, and I decided to hand over the publishing work to them."

How could Gu Ning not know his worries? She picked up her daughter, wiped her nose, and said softly, "I hope everything is fine."

"Hehehe——"

Li Xuewu tried to tease his son to eat some rice grains, but Li Ning spat them out.

He even suspected that he had Shandong blood, which had awakened in his son's body. Why did he only eat steamed buns?
Li Xuewu did not have many concerns about this book. He chose the publishing house because the Iron and Steel Institute was more cutting-edge and protective.

If he chooses the factory's publishing house, it will easily bring him trouble.

There is no problem with the quality of the book. His writing style, his thoughts, his grasp of the times, this book is the stepping stone he paved for himself.

From this moment on, he had to establish his own character.

In the past he may have been the tiger of the Security Department, but from now on he will be called the cultural person Li Xuewu.
