Chapter 1217 He is courting death

"Why do you suddenly think of getting married?"

Li Xuewu's voice sounded surprised even on the phone.

Xilin pursed her lips and joked helplessly: "You don't want me, I won't get married, and I can wait for you forever."

"Hehehe..." Li Xuewu chuckled, "Then I can only regretfully offer my congratulations. I'm in a terrible mood now after losing my love."

"Thank you, thank you for saying that."

Xilin replied with a smile: "Even though we are thousands of miles apart over the phone, I can tell that what you said is false, but I am still very happy."

"But the blessing is sincere--"

Li Xuewu smiled and emphasized: "I feel sorry for Ge Lin who got married so young. He is only in his teens?"

"Don't force me to curse when I'm most touched—"

Xilin pretended to be dissatisfied and threatened: "I received your blessing, but don't be false. We want something practical."

"Oh, more practically, what do you want?"

Li Xuewu said straightforwardly: "Did you know that Guodong is getting married at the end of the year? Are you guys joining in the fun?"

"How about this," he tilted his head and suggested, "Guodong is no different to me than you are to me. Whatever he has, you have."

Without waiting for Xilin to ask, he explained, "I will pay for the wedding expenses, and I will also give you and Ge Lin a yard as your new home."

"Beijing? We're not going back to live there."

Xilin was just joking, but she didn't expect Li Xuewu to be serious and actually wanted to give her and Ge Lin a courtyard.

Houses in the capital have never been cheap, no matter what period, from ancient times to the present.

You may think that crossing time and space is very cheap, but if you put yourself in their shoes, you will realize that it is not something you, who are struggling among ordinary people, dare to imagine.

Xilin met Li Xuewu by chance, and there was some ambiguity between them at first.

Green is Xilin's partner, and can be regarded as the person whom old Bardo entrusted his son to before his death.

Green was a simple-minded man with no complicated thoughts. He lived in the capital for less than half a year before going to Jicheng with Xilin.

If it weren't for Green's protection, it would have been extremely difficult for Xilin, a woman, to gain a foothold in the local area.

The last time she went to Jicheng, Xilin asked Li Xuewu for his opinion on her and Ge Lin being together.

Li Xuewu did not object, and even hoped to facilitate their union.

As for Xilin's life experience, he could only express regret and sympathy, and the same went for Green.

Both of them are miserable people. If they don't dislike each other and live together, not only will their personalities be suitable, but their lives will also be suitable.

Of course, they all followed Li Xuewu from the frontier to the capital, and their household registration in the capital was also given by Li Xuewu.

If the two of them wanted to get together, they would naturally ask Li Xuewu for his opinion.

It was as formal as the current situation where one needs to obtain approval from the organization to get married.

"No matter when, no matter how far you go, this is your home."

Li Xuewu said seriously and gently: "The house I give you is your little home and your future."

"I sincerely wish you all the best, and I hope you can return to Beijing and hold a wedding with Guodong. It will be a rare and lively occasion for everyone."

"Um - thank you -"

Xilin hesitated for a long time on the phone before answering: "Thank you for your blessing, we won't go back."

"I can't let go of Jicheng's affairs, especially since this year's work is very important. Neither Green nor I need a wedding ceremony..."

"I respect your choice," Li Xuewu said sincerely, "and I hope you can feel our comfort and blessings."

"I will, that's all. Sorry to bother you."

Xilin was very touched and thanked him, then hung up the phone.

Suddenly, it seemed that such a long time had passed since that winter.

The four people who came from the frontier all settled down there.

Diliya married Shazhu, Pazile married Wang Yamei, and Xilin and Ge Lin also confirmed that they would be happy with each other for the rest of their lives.

Maybe this is the fun of life, a coincidence of fate.
-
"Oh, what are you giving me? I don't want it."

Zhou Changli waved his hands impatiently, signaling his sister and father not to bother him anymore.

"It's not like I don't come back. I come back eight hundred times a year."

"Isn't this just caring about you—"

His sister said something angrily, then looked at Wang Ya who was standing next to her brother, and said with concern with a smile: "You won't need us to care about you in the future."

"Stop talking nonsense and go back quickly."

Zhou Changli saw that Wang Ya’s face was red. It might not be because of the cold, but because of the smell from her sister.

He waved his hand impatiently and said, "If there is anything wrong at home, go to the club to find Lao Si, don't try to show off."

"I know. I've told you so many times. Are you annoying?"

His sister was straightforward. She glared at her brother and told him, "Control your stubbornness and take good care of Sister Yaya."

"She's going to work, why should I take care of her——"

Zhou Changli turned his head away like a straight man, unwilling to take the thread his sister handed over, the kind that even the matchmaker couldn't tie up.

"It's okay, I can take care of myself."

Wang Ya lowered her head shyly and said, "My dad...just ignore him and don't lend him money."

This was the first sentence she said after she and Zhou Changli got engaged, and it was also the last sentence she said to her future in-laws before they left home.

The fact that she could say such things shows how disgusting her father is and how much of a burden he has put on her.

Zhou Changli's sister patted her arm with an understanding look.

The two families lived not far from each other and were very familiar with each other's family circumstances.

Zhou Changli's family did not look down on the Wang family, because Zhou Changli was not a good person in the past.

When talking about the glory of the gangsters in Beijing, to put it bluntly, they are just hooligans.

Wang Ya's father was a spendthrift, but Wang Ya and her three younger brothers were not bad.

Even in this era, if it was earlier, with Wang Ya's good looks and ability to manage the household, it would not be a problem for her to be married to a wealthy family.

It’s just the betrothal gifts for three boys, is that a big deal?

So no one should look down on anyone else, and no one should talk bad about anyone else.

Zhou Changli's father is an honest man. He has worked as a boilerman for many years and earns his money through hard work.

Raising children is a way of survival. He is satisfied with Wang Ya, and none of the neighbors is dissatisfied with Wang Ya.

To be able to marry her, I am happy from the bottom of my heart.

With only three brothers-in-law and an unreasonable father-in-law, Zhou Changli could feel the pressure.

Fortunately, Wang Ya was sensible and knew that if she relied on her own strength, her three younger brothers would not be able to find wives in this lifetime, and she would not be able to get married either.

I will be 23 after the Chinese New Year. Who would want to be an old girl?

Unless people are pushed to a certain extent, there is no way that children would be unfilial. But when Zhou Changli came back, Wang Ya and her brothers became unfilial children.

She makes the decisions for her siblings, so don't even think about exchanging her for a dowry. If she really finds a job and brings the money back, she can marry a good wife without a dowry.

As for Zhou Changli, Wang Ya looked down on her, but that was her fate.

I wanted to live an honest life, but I could only find a gangster.

I wanted to stay at home and stay here, but I could only wander around.

In the morning, the siblings tied up their father with ropes and told the neighbors to untie him at noon.

Zhou Changli gave 200 yuan as a betrothal gift, but he kept it all on his body, not planning to leave a single cent for his father.

The three younger brothers have been without a mother since childhood. The eldest sister is like a mother to them. They do whatever the eldest sister says and follow her.

Wang Ya had talked to Zhou Changli about this and he was told that as long as he arranged jobs for his three younger brothers, he wouldn't have to worry about them anymore.

As long as Zhou Changli treated her well, she would treat him like a master.

At that time, Zhou Changli wanted to refuse, mainly because he couldn't save face and didn't want to get involved in this burden.

All the neighbors were waiting to see the fun, and he didn't want to become the topic of after-dinner conversation.

But he was just hesitating, and before he could think of what to say, his father came in with a shoe sole in his hand and beat him without saying a word until he agreed.

Afterwards, his father explained clearly that Wang Ya was a grown-up girl, and she had taken the initiative to come home to discuss this, which showed that she was determined to die.

I don’t know how many people have hanged themselves these days because of this kind of thing.

Why? It's a matter of face.

Just listen, after the reform and opening up, if a girl worked in a dance hall, she would be tortured to death by her parents when she returned home. This happened back then, let alone nowadays.

Morality can neither be said to be good nor bad.

If Zhou Changli dared to reject Wang Ya, she would not have the face to marry again, and no one would want her because she had no shame.

So, even an honest man like his father had to admit it, let alone someone as loyal as him.

Wang Ya also did what she said. After accepting 200 yuan as a betrothal gift from Zhou Changli, she really kidnapped her father and left with her brother.

I didn't care about the difference between men and women, and I went through the procedures on the street on the grounds of following my partner out to earn money.

The street office also knows about their family situation. If it were a girl from an ordinary family, she would have run away long ago.

When I heard that she was dating Zhou Changli and was going to work in Gangcheng, the street office handled the formalities for her immediately without asking any questions.

Wang Ya and her three younger brothers were very happy, but who knows what kind of trouble her father might make at home.

When the time comes, the neighbors will start gossiping about it and might even go to the Zhou family to cause trouble.

Zhou Changli was not afraid of this. He had many brothers, and if he wanted to beat up his father-in-law, it would only take him a letter.

But Zhou Changli's father couldn't do that. Relatives are always relatives, and children are always children.

Judging from what Wang Ya said, she is still worried about it, feeling hatred but helpless.

"Don't worry about the housework, I'll take care of it."

His father was an understanding man, and he consoled them, "Work hard, live well, don't quarrel, and don't worry about the family."

"Oh, I see—"

Zhou Changli is a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Every time he comes back, he gives money to his father, one hundred or two hundred yuan at a time, and he doesn't feel sorry at all.

But he is young and just hangs out on the streets, so he still needs to maintain his reputation.

At the entrance to the station, Zhao Laosi and others stood with their hands on their hips watching the fun. He was so embarrassed that his face turned red and he wished he could stand farther away from Wang Ya.

There have been rumors about him on the streets these days, and even a toad can eat swan meat.

Damn it! Who the hell is a toad?
His father and sister understood his temper. After giving him some instructions, they went back and let Zhou Changli say goodbye to his friends.

In addition to teasing Zhou Changli that his trip was not in vain, Zhao Laosi and others also brought him some specialties, specialties from the capital.

"I've lived in Beijing for nearly 20 years, and I don't even know what local specialties there are!"

Zhou Changli cursed and asked, "Who gave it to me?"

"Zhang Jianguo, someone sent me here."

Zhao Laosi shrugged his shoulders and said seriously, "He sent someone to pass on a message, wishing you a safe journey and a baby soon."

"Fuck it—"

Zhou Changli laughed in anger. After cursing a few times, he still warned Zhao Laosi seriously: "Stay away from him!"

"The farther the better. I'm afraid he won't live long enough for me to come back next time."

"I know he's trying to get himself killed."

Zhao Laosi took a deep puff of his cigarette and squinted his eyes as he said, "The old Ping players are in a frenzy. They are all trying to rip him off."
-
What did Zhang Jianguo do to anger everyone and cause such outrage among the old table tennis players?

It’s nothing actually, just a small matter, a matter of face.

For the sake of so-called face in the underworld, he played bigger and bigger, and did not follow his original idea of ​​taking what he had first.

Because the situation has changed, no one is concerned about what's happening on the ground anymore, and everyone is in a state of madness.

All the knowledgeable people in the old table tennis circle have hidden themselves, especially since several big businesses have emerged in Beijing recently, including seafood and electrical appliances.

These capable people no longer hang out on the streets, and they no longer ride bicycles, but Comet motorcycles.

You say riding this thing is cool, and you want to take a stroll in groups?
No, that’s not the case!
Everyone is busy, and they wish they were busier than the street director.

Going from unit to unit, either they are buying seafood, various welfare products, or the most fashionable electrical appliances.

The Red Star Factory also sells this thing, but it is not sold directly to the market. Instead, it is sold to factory employees.

These people have no qualms about dealing in tertiary products that are genuine and come with labels and numbers.

If you say that speculating is not allowed, then it depends on who is speculating and who is the right person.

These guys are all absolutely rule-abiding and don't interfere with each other's business.

They only go to their family's workplace or their relatives' workplace. Who can do anything to them?

Besides, these products are not taboo, and they will ignore you if you want to buy them in your personal name.

Save up the money, and when you have enough, go to your workplace’s labor union to write a purchase application and get it stamped, then go through the public-to-public procedures.

They can just wholesale electrical appliances or seafood point-to-point, and if the procedures are not right at all, the supply and marketing and industrial and commercial departments have no way to deal with them.

In fact, everyone knows that there is a master behind this matter. He is related to the Red Star Factory and got these supplies.

But it is really hard to check how much profit was made. After all, the goods came from the Red Star Factory and the money was transferred to the Red Star Factory account.

Can you say that it is wrong for Red Star Factory to wholesale goods?

Distribution, smart sales, the key lies here. Li Xuewu deliberately opened a channel within the factory for Zhou Xiaobai.

Who approved this opening?

Whoever benefits from it approves it. Lao Li’s wife is Zhou Xiaobai’s vice president and is paid a regular salary. So who do you think owns the channel?

As long as nothing happens to Lao Li, nothing will happen to this channel. Even if something happens to Lao Li, nothing will happen to Zhou Xiaobai.

On the other hand, with Zhou Xiaobai's channel, Lao Li doesn't have to worry about anything else.

The risk is too great, so he won't do it no matter how high the profit is.

Li Xuewu takes care of Old Li as if he were raising a electronic pet, for he is afraid that Old Li might get injured because of these substances.

Li Xuewu plans to use this shield for a few more years.

So the seeds sown on the streets of Beijing were grabbed in Zhou Xiaobai's hands, and the person he was connected to was Li Huaide.

Those who are incompetent cannot guess it, but those who are competent can see it clearly at a glance.

Just say you see clearly, who can they touch?
Even if they wanted to take action, what qualifications and reasons did they have to do so? Li Xuewu had planned it out, and if he didn't open the seal, no one could break his plan.

Zhou Xiaobai gets several hundred yuan in pocket money every month, do you think it's given for free?

As long as the money is kept clean and hygienic, Zhou Xiaobai's parents will never come out to say that he has ruined their daughter's life.

It can be said that Zhou Xiaobai, with his own efforts, pushed the old table tennis circle in the old city to move in another direction.

After experiencing the ups and downs of the past two years, these old players have long since woken up and realized that they should focus on money.

With this opportunity, everyone is a dreamer.

The pyramid-shaped sales network has begun to take shape. It is loose yet tight, and has quietly dissipated many of the conflicts between Lao Ping and Wan Zhu.

On the other hand, Zhou Changli, who was arranged by Li Xuewu, was constantly draining the manpower of the gangsters, and more and more crew members were boarding the ship and going out to sea.

As long as the previous group brings back the money, the next group will rush to follow. Anyone who doesn't go is a fool.

Those people Zhou Changli invited at the beginning are now regretting and banging their heads against the wall. No matter how cool and unrestrained the gangster is, can he be as cool and unrestrained as the sponsor?
The passionate atmosphere in Sijiu City was drained away by Li Xuewu at both ends, taking away the most essential parts and leaving only the dregs.

Zhang Jianguo, who was unwilling to leave, didn't know that he had classified himself as a member of the rubbish pile. Otherwise, why would Zhou Changli say that he was going to die?

It’s the same in the old table tennis circle. Not everyone has the ability to earn that much money, and there are some who can’t.

The older brothers were busy turning over a new leaf, and they became left-behind children.

So the dregs are against the garbage, and both sides are in a mess.

In order to show off his abilities, Zhang Jianguo snatched clothes from Lao Ping. In order to kill him, Lao Ping started to create Huang Yao.

The fuse was precisely the beautiful woman’s words that brought disaster upon herself.

Just as the White-Haired Girl became a mobilization order for class struggles, the children's words also became the spark that triggered class conflicts and ultimately led to tragedy.

Just when Zhou Changli was leaving the capital with his fiancée, under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, many scums whose eyes were burning with hatred and anger began to take action against Zhang Jianguo.

At this time, Zhang Jianguo was no longer himself, but a villain who was exaggerated and portrayed in a exaggerated way.

Do those scum have a direct hatred towards him?

No, but I was swept up in the hatred towards this kind of people, but it was embodied in him.

It can be seen from the means of transportation that those who have a good status would have changed to comets long ago, while those who do these things are still riding bicycles.

Rushing and roaring through the city.

Sometimes you will find that they suddenly gather together like crazy in the middle of the night, running long distances, and attacking some inexplicable place.

This location might have been said casually by someone during the day, or it might have been a hearsay. Anyway, it was just made up, but it became taken seriously as it was passed around.

The result was that he was like a mad dog, biting the air.

Kill that lowly dog!
This sentence inexplicably became the most exciting and supreme goal of the dregs.

If you can't defeat the thorn in your heart, can't you kill a dog?
Perhaps what these dregs want to defend is that their noble mentality and bloodline remain untainted.

Zhang Jianguo is a gangster, but he dares to associate with someone like Tong Yan. He deserves to die!
Even if Tong Yan was a notorious person in their circle, they would never allow her to ruin herself and the circle like this.

Even if she disappeared and married an ordinary person.

This is the most unbalanced hatred in those people’s hearts.

The wind roared and the cranes roared, and the grass and trees were all in war.

In the peaceful capital city, the situation in the small circle of young people began to become tense.

The reason why Zhang Jianguo didn't dare to come and see Zhou Changli off in person was because he had received the news.

Not only him, all the stubborn guys in the city started to squint.

If you stick your head out, you're done for. Anyone showing their head at this time is an idiot! ——
"I haven't had time to congratulate you yet."

Yang Jun said this opening remark with a smile while looking at Li Xuewu who was sitting on the chair.

Seeing the other party's surprised look, he lowered his head slightly, looked at the document in his hand and reminded: "Your new book."

"Oh, thank you, Team Leader Yang."

Li Xuewu seemed to have just understood. He nodded in sudden realization and thanked him with a smile: "My personal understanding is not worth mentioning."

"The title of the newly published book is 'Defending the People', right?"

Yang Jun's understanding of Li Xuewu was somewhat beyond the expectations of several other working group members in the office.

Today's conversation has maintained a serious atmosphere, but I didn't expect that when talking to Li Xuewu, Team Leader Yang Jun would start the conversation with something off topic.

Is it appreciation or psychological tactics?

The two deputy team leaders, Cai Zhixing and Zhou Zechuan, did not speak, but their flickering eyes proved that their hearts must be beating fast at this moment.

“Can you tell us what the new book is about?”

Yang Jun seemed to be really interested in Li Xuewu. He raised his arms and said, "That's probably fine."

"Of course, if you feel it is necessary."

Li Xuewu's expression and tone were as calm as ever, and he didn't care about the other person's attention to his work.

It is now 2:15 in the afternoon. Since yesterday morning, all factory leaders have been called to this office by the working group for organizational talks.

Even Dong Wenxue, who was far away in Gangcheng, was called back.

This conversation was regarded as the last task of the working group, and all the leaders who were named took it very seriously.

Make a good start and end well.

The working group has been in the factory for more than one and a half months. They have seen what they should see, visited what they should visit, and asked all the questions they should ask.

It's time to reach a conclusion by now.

So it’s like opening a blind box. Everyone who enters the room feels uneasy, and leaves with the intention of cursing.

To everyone's surprise, yet seemingly within reason, the working group finally arranged a conversation with Li Xuewu.

He shouldn't be here because the working group's target of investigation is the members of the Red Star Factory Management Committee.

But Li Xuewu was not like that, he was still eight feet away from that position.

But he was placed last, behind Li Huaide, the director of the management committee.

The office was bustling with people talking about this matter.

I wish everyone had super ears so I could stick to the door and listen to what people are talking about inside.

Compared with the conversations with the leaders, people in the agency want to know more about Li Xuewu.

Everyone is speculating that there are only two reasons and results for arranging Li Xuewu to accept the organizational talk.

The good, and the bad.

Li Xuewu is the head of the Red Star Factory's security team and also the deputy director of the Management Committee Office. His work involves many people.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for the team leader Yang Jun to follow him for more than a week.

In addition, Li Xuewu organized and coordinated the establishment and preparation of multiple projects in the factory, and even participated in the acceptance work.

When reporting their work to Director Li, many department heads have to communicate and coordinate with him first.

Everyone knows this situation.

You said it is beneficial, and it is indeed beneficial. Li Xuewu has built the most convenient communication bridge between leaders and departments, and accelerated business execution capabilities.

You said there are disadvantages, and that is true. The saying "You can't afford to offend either Big Li or Little Li" is not very popular, and there are always people who are dissatisfied with this situation.

It is not noticeable on a normal day, but it is not the case when reflected on the desks and documents of the working group.

Therefore, it is very likely that Li Xuewu will have to take the blame this time.

As for who will take the blame, I don’t know.

The second possibility is that the working group recognized his abilities, or saw his importance in the Red Star Factory, and organized an inspection in advance.

The purpose of this working group's visit is very clear, which is to investigate the work ability of the Red Star Factory Management Committee.

Reinforcement is a must, and which aspects to strengthen and how much to strengthen will all depend on this research report.

Li Xuewu, who played an important role in the development of Red Star Factory, would inevitably come into the working group's sight.

Therefore, it is very likely that Li Xuewu will make progress this time.

Whether to take the blame or to make progress has become two hotly debated topics in the agency.

Actually?

The conversation in the office is still going on.

“It’s mainly about the ideological level.”

Li Xuewu thought for a moment and said seriously: "This book is a summary of my view on safety management work from the perspective of the Security Department, Security Office and the coordination of safety and security of the entire factory."

“It’s not just about management methods and techniques, it’s more than just the problems encountered at work and the solutions, it’s about thinking.”

He nodded his head and explained: "This book is my reflection on how to promote the normalization of ecological management and healthy self-development of the department with a sound mindset..."

Listening to Li Xuewu's "long talk", there was no sense of tension or seriousness in the conversation.

The three members of the working group felt that Li Xuewu was really here to teach them a lesson, so they talked incessantly.

If you say that Li Xuewu was deliberately delaying time, that's hard to say. It was Yang Jun who took the initiative to ask.

Moreover, not only the three of them, but also the other clerks in the room listened attentively to what Li Xuewu said.

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.

A true master can convince you with just words and thoughts.

You can understand what he is saying, and you can feel the gap between you and him, and even understand that what he is saying is at the level of your cognition.

This is very powerful, because as long as you listen to it, you will think about it and gain something.

Li Xuewu's speech was not empty and he did not repeat himself. He put forward several arguments which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

A clerk had already started recording his speech, and he was doing it very seriously, not wanting to miss a single word.

It was not until Li Xuewu summarized his words and humbly expressed his apologies for the delay.

The office was quiet for a few seconds, and everyone seemed to wake up from a dream, as if they had come alive from an epiphany.

clap clap-

Yang Jun took the lead in applauding, and applause broke out in the office instantly.

This is the effect Li Xuewu wants. Writing a book is not the purpose, but to establish his work philosophy.

There are three things a person should establish: moral integrity, meritorious service, and words.

Everyone knows about Li Xuewu's moral character. If you ask his family and the people on the street, everyone will say that he has loved learning since he was young, kept himself clean, and has excellent character and academic performance.

Not to mention making achievements, the greatest achievement is on the face.

Establishing his reputation was the last and most crucial step in his career path.

Although he does not have rich qualifications, he has many works to show off his achievements.

This track is really amazing, and most people can't play it.

Although you have outstanding business skills, it is inevitable that you may have some shortcomings in writing skills.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that what Li Xuewu is doing now is that he is breaking down the barriers of age restrictions and accumulating capital to cross over.

With so many conditions, who can say anything against promotion and appointment?

This is an open conspiracy and the most unbreakable.

The key is that every achievement of Li Xuewu is real.

Ability, strength, talent, when Yang Jun asked him about writing a book, it might seem like he was being difficult to him in the eyes of others.

It simply means that Li Xuewu had someone ghostwrite his book, and he would do anything to get ahead.

But in fact, the investigation of Li Xuewu has already begun.

Yang Jun spent more than a week observing Li Xuewu, and also observed the management of Red Star Factory through Li Xuewu.

During this period, he came into contact with Li Xuewu and discovered that this young man was truly extraordinary.

Of course, he also wanted to show his colleagues that there was nothing wrong with his seriousness.

The result was that all the working group members in the office agreed with his point of view that this young man was not simple.
-
"Huh! How long has my second brother been in there?"

Li Xue had just returned, and as soon as she heard the news, she ran to the auxiliary building.

She knew that her second brother had been called in for a talk and Peng Xiaoli must be there too.

So the first thing she asked when she saw Peng Xiaoli and Gu Cheng at the side staircase was this.

Deputy Director Xue spoke for an hour and a half, Deputy Director Cheng spoke for an hour, and Deputy Director Jing spoke for two and a half hours...

All these data are in Li Xue's mind.

Deputy Director Jing's strange expression when he came out also made Li Xue nervous and worried since yesterday.

Something happened, it must have happened!
"It's been two hours, one more moment."

Peng Xiaoli's expression now became serious, and Gu Cheng, who was standing next to him, was smoking one cigarette after another.

He was not Li Xuewu's secretary, but Gu Cheng was more worried about Li Xuewu than Peng Xiaoli.

At this moment, the idea that everyone prospers together and everyone suffers together has become concrete.

Although life in the small car team was boring, as long as Li Xuewu was there, no one dared to touch him.

He will be trained and tempered step by step, and when the leader needs him, he will naturally be thought of and used.

This is Gu Cheng’s career and mission.

"This is already the second-to-last longest time—"

Li Xue's hands were shaking with nervousness. She closed her eyes slightly, leaned on the windowsill and murmured, "I told him to be careful, be careful."

"It's no use worrying now," Peng Xiaoli raised his hand and wanted to pat her shoulder, but he didn't dare to do it. In the end, he could only comfort her, "Let's wait for the leader to come out."

"In the morning, it should be Director Li in the morning, right?"

Li Xue suddenly turned her head, looked Peng Xiaoli in the eye and asked, "How long did Director Li talk?"

"A little more than an hour," Gu Cheng continued, "not even a quarter of an hour."

"Something must have gone wrong!" Li Xue said firmly, "Deputy Director Jing's reactions have been a little off since yesterday."

"What's your reaction?" Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and asked directly: "Did he lose his temper? Or..."

Before he could finish his question, Li Xue glared back at him.

Peng Xiaoli also raised his hand and patted his arm, signaling him not to ask such sensitive questions.

Indeed, if it wasn’t for her second brother, and if it wasn’t in front of the two of them, Li Xue would never have said such words.

She had already reached a conclusion, and it was enough to provide it to the two of them for analysis.

Do you still want to ask for the leader’s specific response?

Gu Cheng, what do you want to do?

"There's nothing special about Director Li's expression. I've seen it."

Gu Cheng knew he had asked the wrong question, so he took a puff of his cigarette and changed the subject, "That bastard Li Haiyang is also a cunning fellow. He hid away early."

"It shouldn't be like that. My second brother shouldn't be talked to."

Li Xue stood by the window sill, looking at the white snow downstairs, frowned and said: "What did the working group ask yesterday, and what did they find out?"

"Wait a minute. I've asked someone to find out."

The cigarette in Gu Cheng's hand was shaking a little, and his eyes were fixed on the direction of the main office building on the side.

Until someone appeared near a window and nodded to him, he rushed out like a wild dog.

Gu Cheng went down the stairs quickly at a speed that almost surprised Peng Xiaoli and Li Xue, and then returned to the main office building at the steadiest pace.

"Where did he go?" Li Xue asked in surprise, "Who did he ask for help?"

"An acquaintance, from the Finance Department."

Peng Xiaoli looked diagonally across the street, trying to find Gu Cheng's figure in a window, but it was in vain.

"This time the working group has selected personnel to help, including those from the Finance Department, who are likely to be performing audit work."

"This is... this is against the rules!"

Li Xue widened her eyes and said in surprise: "How could the other party tell him, this..."

"Why not?" Peng Xiaoli said without turning his head, "If I can't repay you, I will repay you with my body."

"Uh-huh, he's back—"

Seeing Gu Cheng coming out of the main office building and walking back, Peng Xiaoli pounded his fist on the windowsill and said, "He has made a huge sacrifice this time!"

Indeed, for the sake of his future, Gu Cheng really fought for the happiness of the second half of his life.

He is a playboy who loves freedom and unrestrainedness. This time, in order to find out what the working group has discovered, he really tied himself up.

"I figured it out—"

Gu Cheng climbed up the stairs with an extremely grim expression, looked at the two people and said, "In April, overseas enterprises borrowed funds from the Red Star Factory account and made foreign trade payments totaling 25 million yuan, and the accounts have not been settled yet."

boom--

Li Xue felt as if someone had hit her head with a hammer and she almost couldn't stand.

Yes, this must be it. This is the purpose of the working group talking to her second brother.

It is unclear who took the funds, and even less clear is who lent the money for foreign trade. All we know now is that the money is gone.

The reason why Li Xue almost fainted was very simple. Foreign trade, financial establishment, capital operation... have always been the businesses that her second brother is in charge of.

She would have to work for 50,000 years to pay off the gap of 25 million yuan. Even if her whole family paid it off together, she would have to live a long life.

"Li Xue! Li Xue! Are you okay?"

Peng Xiaoli no longer cared about etiquette, and supported Li Xue, reminding her: "You have to trust the leader, he has never failed."

"Well, my second brother never fails."

Li Xue prepared herself mentally according to Peng Xiaoli's words. Just now, it was Gu Cheng's expression as if his own mother had died that made her think of the worst.

For more than a month, Li Xue has been worried about her second brother's condition.

But the second brother didn't listen to her and insisted on doing what he wanted.

Those who were not on guard against the workers even started playing tennis with them. I heard that many young girls were involved.

She was really going crazy. What was her second brother going to do?

Li Xue guessed countless times that the working group must have found out that her second brother had many girlfriends in the past, or that he has many ex-girlfriends now.

She never expected that her second brother would suddenly give her an astronomical figure like a bolt from the blue.

Twenty-five million is a very small number in this era.

How to do?
Li Xue said that my second brother was very good at planning and strategizing, but what she was thinking in her heart was that 25 million yuan would take her a lifetime to pay off.

Li Xuewu didn't know how his sister felt outside, otherwise she would have wanted to laugh and felt relieved.

When his sister heard that he was going to get into trouble, the first thing she thought of was to pay back the money for him. This shows that pocket money is not given in vain and his sister’s love is not in vain.

"The leader is coming out!"

Just when the three of them were frowning and many pairs of eyes were staring at them in the corridor, Li Xuewu ended the conversation and walked out of the office.

"It was dark in three and a half hours."

Gu Cheng looked at his watch, then looked out the window. It was unclear whether he was referring to the sky outside the window or his future prospects.

What are we talking about? We can talk for three and a half hours!

This was a question in the minds of all those who followed Li Xuewu after they saw him walk out of the office.

Li Xuewu saw Li Xue, Peng Xiaoli and Gu Cheng, but he did not stop or say hello. Instead, he calmly went down the middle stairs.

Everyone in the Red Star Factory followed his figure and secretly observed his expression.

In the darkness of the night, the lights in the Red Star Factory office were bright, but they cast a dim light on Li Xuewu's face.

His steps were calm, vigorous and steady like a rock, but his expression was grim and his efforts to appear calm could not hide his inner panic.

Everyone by the window felt their hearts skip a beat.

Just after Li Xuewu returned to the security building, the news about the financial deficit spread completely.

The office building seemed to be lit up with fireworks, and the sound of discussions resounded through the sky.

Some people are celebrating, some are facing disaster, some are indifferent, and some are just doing petty things.

Everyone was in a panic after get off work that night.

The lights in the factory leader's office are bright. When the staff members who are leaving get off work walk to the door of the office area and look back, they seem to see the light flickering.

Metaphysics is a bit mentally confused. Everyone is looking forward to the latest news and who is going to be finished.

If Li Xuewu is finished...
