Siheyuan diet for men and women

Chapter 1233 It’s not a coincidence
"Hey, learning martial arts also comes with a home—"

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui entered the house and first greeted Li Xuewu with a smile.

Li Shun stood up and asked them to sit down, and at the same time asked Li Xuecai to make tea.

Yan Fugui was smiling and being polite to Li Shun, but when he addressed Li Xuewu he used the term "Director Li".

Not to mention that Li Shun felt uncomfortable listening to this, even Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Li Xuewu didn't indulge him. When he called him, he just responded vaguely. He didn't correct him, nor did he call him "Third Uncle".

Some people just have no shame and only remember to eat but not to be beaten.

If you try to give him face, you will only encourage his shameless attitude.

Yan Fugui's shout was not a sincere congratulations to Li Xuewu, nor was it a compliment from the bottom of his heart.

There is a saying these days: if you are not from the same family, you are not a member of the same family.

We are not in the same unit and have no business connection on a daily basis. Even if you are a cadre, I don't need to flatter you.

Why?

Because the employee mobility these days is particularly poor, basically, no matter what unit you join, you will remain in that unit when you die.

Think about it, why should I flatter you when we have nothing to do with each other?

In the past, for the sake of his son and himself, Yan Fugui had to control himself and rely on Li Xuewu.

It’s different now. Even though his eldest daughter-in-law works at the Red Star Factory, he is no longer here, and he doesn’t get along with her and his second son’s family.

So, when he learned that Li Xuewu had taken a step further, his petty thoughts came out of his mouth.

I'm jealous and just want to provoke the tiger's whiskers.

If I call you Director Li, would you dare to agree?

Don’t you, Li Xuewu, often say modestly that at home and in the yard, you don’t need to be polite and just call people whatever they want?

Since you flaunt your friendliness and act like a people-friendly person, then as the third uncle in the courtyard, when I call you, you have to treat me with a lower attitude, right?

He is not a bad person, he just feels dissatisfied and jealous.

If it were in the past when Jie Cheng was still alive, the whole family would have to curry favor with Li Xuewu if they hoped that this son would have a bright future.

What now?
Hey! I can tease you!
But he never expected that Li Xuewu had just stood up and greeted Yi Zhonghai "uncle", but when it was his turn, he just laughed.

What? I called you Director Li, and you actually agreed!

"Sit down, don't stand, and have some tea."

Perhaps Li Shunxing saw his embarrassment and had no intention of blaming his son. He just asked them to sit down and have some tea.

Li Xuecai brought two cups of tea and placed them on the eight-immortals table, politely calling them the first uncle and the third uncle.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Yan Fugui took the tea before him and said hello.

"Hey, it looks like Xuecai has grown a lot!"

"No, Uncle, you are praising me."

Li Xuecai had been working in the hospital for more than a month and had learned how to gossip. His response to the compliment was full of life.

Saying thank you when receiving compliments requires a very confident and proud attitude, which is rare in this era.

If someone praises you or your child, isn't it the same as acknowledging it if you say thank you?

I am not talented, but this was still the mainstream at that time. It was the impact of foreign culture after the reform and opening up, as well as the national confidence after rapid development, that made people have the mentality of saying thank you.

Although Li Xuewu is not popular, Yan Fugui still likes good kids like Li Xuecai.

He looked at Li Xuecai with a smile and praised him a lot, which surprised Li Xuecai. Could it be that this uncle wanted to introduce him to a girl?

Only a matchmaker would praise someone like this.

Yi Zhonghai and Li Shun understood that Yan Fugui was trying to pull one down and step on another.

He openly praised Li Xuecai, but in fact he was belittling Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu didn't care. He listened with a smile and asked the old man a few questions from time to time.

"I heard that Xuecai has started working?"

Yan Fugui turned to look at Li Shun and asked, "Isn't he still in school? Did he take over your class in advance?"

There are many situations like what he said. When he was halfway through college, his family arranged for him to take over.

Why?

Since the resumption of university classes seems to be a long way off and we can’t wait any longer, we might as well go get a job as a factory cadre with a high school diploma.

Of course, this situation exists, but it is not the majority.

Nowadays, college students are not controlled by their families because their household registration is in their own pockets.

There are two and a half college students in the Li family’s house now.

Li Xuewen’s household registration is no longer under Li Shun’s, but is a separate household registered in a new street address.

Li Xuewu also took his household registration with him when he joined the army, and he settled down again after his demobilization.

But when he was going through the procedures for studying at university, he had already started working, so special arrangements were made and his household registration was not moved.

Li Xuecai's household registration is not at home, but in the school's collective account. He was assigned a residence permit when he graduated.

There is a possibility that Li Xuecai was assigned to another place when he graduated, so he is no longer a Beijing native.

This situation is particularly common in this era, but most people will adopt the principle of returning to where they came from.

Unless there is a change in policy or situation, Li Xuewu knows that this situation will occur in next year's major distribution.

So he had a purpose in arranging Li Xuecai to go to the Chinese Medicine Hospital for internship in advance, for he was afraid that this silly brother would become a non-Beijing resident.

Li Shun didn't know the purpose of Li Xuewu's arrangement and thought that he just couldn't stand the third brother being idle.

He supported the decision to let the third child go to the hospital for internship.

Now that Yan Fugui asked, he just told him the truth.

"I'm still in school, so I use my spare time to help out in the hospital and learn by doing."

"Oh - I said -"

Yan Fugui responded in a slightly disappointed tone, and his gaze shifted from Li Xuecai's face to the teacup.

Li Shun looked at his second son, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Yi Zhonghai and asked: "What are you doing..."

"Ah, nothing much, just a visit."

Yan Fugui interrupted Yi Zhonghai and explained before he even finished his tea: "Isn't this the street's requirement?"

"The correspondent came this morning to convey the request that each compound investigate and visit the residents during the New Year holidays."

After he finished the introduction, he asked casually, "Hey, you're not coming back to live here to learn martial arts, right?"

"Who said that?"

Unlike his previous amiability and politeness, Li Xuewu frowned and asked back as soon as Yan Fugui finished speaking.

Yan Fugui's hand holding the teacup trembled for a moment, his face stiffened, but he still smiled and explained, "Nothing, just asking casually, didn't you buy a house outside after you got married?"

"Plus the house in your backyard."

He raised his chin, pointed to the outer courtyard and said, "I don't see you living in this back house..."

"I stopped, didn't you see?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "I can't help it. I'm lucky. I got a lot of houses, but there are many people in my family."

He folded his right leg and counted, "My grandfather needs me to support him, and with the support of my children, it's clear that there won't be enough to live on."

"Nothing, just asking around on the street."

Seeing that his tone was stiff and had a hint of danger, and Yan Fugui's expression became even stiffer, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to speak.

"I heard that the higher-ups are going to count the housing allocation situation, but we don't know the details."

"Yeah, it's okay, just ask."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and said, "If you need anything, you can contact me at any time, even at the street level."

He patted his left hand resting on his knee and said with a smile: "I am still a member of the compound, and my household registration information is all here."

"Is it the outer courtyard or the backyard?"

Yi Zhonghai asked calmly, "If we register in the outer courtyard, there won't be any trouble."

"Outer yard. We hadn't bought the backyard yet."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, understood the meaning of the uncle's words, nodded and said, "The backyard is personal property."

"Yes, I know. It's from the Xu family."

The old man seemed to be emphasizing something, and he made his words clear while drinking tea, and he seemed to be nitpicking about his words.

Who in this yard doesn't remember that the house that Li Xuewu owned in the backyard was mortgaged to him by Xu Damao? Why would he say this again?

"Okay, that's it—"

After finishing a cup of tea, without giving Yan Fugui another chance to say anything else, Yi Zhonghai stood up and said, "Let's go to another place."

"Let's go now. Sit for a while."

Li Xuewu stood up and greeted him with a smile: "If you have anything to say, please talk to me. Come and sit down more often."
-
"Ya Ye and Yan Fugui went to your house, right?"

Li Xuewu came out of his house and deliberately walked around the backyard. When he passed by Sha Zhu's house, he was pulled into the house by him.

Sha Zhu's house is very grand, especially the central room facing north and south.

The summer before last, I borrowed money from an old man and rebuilt the house with all my might, just to save face.

Li Xuewu had just looked at his own backyard and compared it with Sha Zhu's house. He always felt that it was far inferior.

The biggest disadvantage is the innate conditions, which can never be compared with sitting north and facing south.

"Don't bother. I'm not thirsty. I drank at home."

When Li Xuewu saw that he wanted to make tea, he quickly waved his hand to refuse.

He sat down on the kang, looked around the furnishings in the room and asked, "How did you know they went to my house?"

"I went there specifically to block you. Why didn't I know?"

Sha Zhu laughed and brought a cup of tea over, explaining, "Uncle San has been keeping an eye on your family for several days."

"Knowing that you would be back at the weekend, I came to the house of a great master in the morning and set up an ambush just to look for you and check the house."

"Haha, there are always people who are thinking about good things."

Li Xuewu smiled and asked, "I asked you about it, too. Is it the house of the old lady in the backyard?"

"Me? I won't spoil him——"

Sha Zhu smiled evilly, stretched out a stool and sat on the edge of the kang, tilted his head and said, "You are a person of status, you can't do dirty things, but I am different, who am I afraid of?"

"So I have to be bullied just because I have status?"

Li Xuewu felt both amused and helpless. Just as Sha Zhu said, he could still kick Yan Fugui a few more times.

But if Yan Fugui dared to pick a fight with Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu would definitely kick him twice.

"Forget it, ignore him."

Sha Zhu picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "He is that kind of person. If you don't take advantage of him, you will be at a loss."

"I heard that he couldn't sleep the whole night!"

"hehe--"

Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "Don't make me seriously ill again. It's New Year's Day and you're blackmailing me again."

"I said so too. Doesn't this remind you?"

Sha Zhu shook his head, put down his teacup and explained, "He is thinking about your back house, and said it would be nice to share one with him."

"Want to eat shit?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does he want to do? Yan Jiekuang should stay at home to take care of him in his old age. Why does he want to split up the family?"

"That's nonsense. Yan Jiekuang is only fifteen. What's the point of dividing the family property? He is just thinking about dividing the house."

Sha Zhu pouted and said, "I heard that the factory has announced housing allocation, so I'm busy now."

He pointed out the window in the direction of the front yard and said, "I wish I could build a wall around the porch so I can calculate the area inside the house."

"I'm really going crazy—"

Li Xuewu crossed his right leg, picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "Why didn't he write the word Yan on the toilet at the door?"

“Hehehe——” After hearing what he said, Sha Zhu laughed and said, “Do you think he doesn’t want to?”

"The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant!"

He moved the teacup and said, "With the area of ​​their house, at least they can get a building of more than 40 square meters."

"I only have one son to take care of me in my old age. How big a house do I need to live in?"

"I ignored him, and the old man followed him."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I can tell she was in a difficult situation. She must have been pushed there by him."

"He is stupid. How can an old man be stupid?"

Sha Zhu raised his eyebrows and said, "The street office said to investigate, so what?"

"Why doesn't he think about how much he has to offer to buy the house that's opposite to the one that's on the top floor?"

Shazhu didn't say it too bluntly. To put it more bluntly would be too explicit.

Li Xuewu's godmother is the street director, and Shen Guodong is now a celebrity in the street's small factory.

You just say that Yan Fugui has no brains. He only thought about not teaching the students of Red Star Factory anymore, and never thought about where he is.

"Or I'd like to tell you not to bother with him," Sha Zhu nodded his head and said, "He has a problem."

"real or fake?"

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't look like he was talking nonsense, Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it about blood vessels?"

"I don't know, but you guys can sense it."

Sha Zhu was also serious. He picked up some peanuts from the basket and ate them. He said, "It started in the second half of this year."

"You probably didn't catch up because you didn't come back often. Sometimes he kept talking to himself like a psychopath."

"You're not pretending, are you—"

Li Xuewu looked out the window. Sitting here, he could see the situation in the front yard through the three doors.

"He had a criminal record before. Did you forget that he pretended to be crazy and stupid to deceive people because he was afraid of being embarrassed?"

"It doesn't look like that this time," Sha Zhu shook his head and said, "I'm not having a quarrel with anyone. It shouldn't take so long."

"You can tell by looking at what happened to him. Does he look like a normal person?"

"What does the book teach?"

Li Xuewu glanced at him suspiciously and asked, "Should we be able to tell at school?"

"Come on, do you really think it's all his fault that he can't learn the jokes well?"

Sha Zhu said with a smile: "If it was really his own problem, how come he caught up with our factory middle school?"

"You may not know this, but Banggeng did well in the exams this semester, and he's showing off to everyone."

"You mean the teacher's problem?"

The muscles on Li Xuewu's face twitched, and he thought that Banggeng's previous teacher must be Ran Qiuye.

"What do you think? There must be a small part of the reason!"

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "Even Yan Fugui himself said that he had hardly attended classes in two years. How could anyone tell?"

"Besides, his condition isn't serious. Maybe he himself is aware that he has a problem and is trying to control himself."

"Didn't his family find out?"

Li Xuewu sat up straight and said, "It is important to treat this disease early."

“Who discovered it?”

Sha Zhu said frankly: "Even if I find out, I won't tell you. I'll just live one day at a time!"

This is true. Having a mental illness is not a good thing these days, and people's words are scary.

Another thing is that if I get sick I can’t teach, and if I don’t teach how can I earn the salary to support my family?

"We all guessed it was a cerebrovascular problem," Sha Zhu said after taking a sip of hot tea, "After all, we didn't get proper treatment back then."
-
"Who are you talking about? Brother Wu is here too."

As the two were talking, Diliya came in from outside, holding the child, and Yu Shui was with her.

"It's okay, just some small talk--"

Sha Zhu stood up and picked up his son, teasing him with a smile.

Diliya took off her outer coat in the rain, greeted Li Xuewu with a smile and said auspicious words of New Year's greetings.

After being married to Sha Zhu for two years, she finally came out from under the Tianshan Mountains. She was no longer the melancholy girl, but had the air of the city.

She used to be afraid of Li Xuewu and refused to talk to him no matter what, but now she is normal.

Li Xuewu touched his pocket and waved to He Zhuang, who was lying on the kang and had his cotton-padded jacket stripped off by his father, to come over.

The chubby little boy was not afraid of him at all. He crawled over to him when he beckoned.

"Uncle gave me New Year's money in advance."

Li Xuewu folded a ten-yuan bill into a gold ingot shape and stuffed it into the fat boy's shirt pocket, which made He Zhuang stunned.

"Why give him so much? One dollar and fifty cents will do."

Diliya felt a little embarrassed, so she walked over and wanted to take the money from her son to be polite to Li Xuewu.

The little fat boy took it out of his pocket, and when he saw his mother wanted it, he handed it to her.

Sha Zhu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Keep it, it's not much."

"If Director Li really wants to give him one dollar and fifty cents, it would be embarrassing. If he gives it to me, I'll take it—"

"You talk too much!"

After hearing what Diliya said, she felt too embarrassed to step back, so she turned around and hit Sha Zhu.

Li Xuewu smiled and held up the fat boy and asked, "How much? Twenty-five pounds?"

"Yes, he's tall, almost 26 pounds."

Sha Zhu leaned against the cabinet and said with a smile: "I can't hold it for too long."

"You really have your father's physique."

Li Xuewu pinched the little fat boy's arms and legs and said jokingly, "When you grow up, learn wrestling from your dad. He's a good one-on-one fighter."

"My son should study culture."

Sha Zhu smiled and scratched his neck, saying, "It is true that culture is useful. I heard that your Li Shu can recite poems now."

"He is just learning to speak, and he is just reciting nonsense."

Li Xuewu smiled, handed the little fat boy to his mother, looked at Yu Shui, who was standing by the window in a pink sweater, and asked, "Are you not at work?"

"Off duty, holiday——"

Yu Shui hugged her arms and spoke in a very calm tone, but what she was thinking in her heart was that you just remembered to come and see me.

But who would have thought that Li Xuewu's attention to her was fleeting. After asking her a question, he started talking about the electrical appliances at home.

"The old man said I was wasting money, but I don't care about that."

Sha Zhu also crossed his arms and walked around on the ground, pointing out the electrical appliances in the house to Li Xuewu.

"These are all I can buy for now. When I have more money, I will bring the TV back and everything will be complete."

"Okay, your family is the best in this courtyard."

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, then stood up and said, "If television really becomes popular, then our factory will have to build a TV station as well."

"Well, then--"

When Sha Zhu saw him stand up, he asked, "What are you doing? Sit for a while. Are you going to meet me at night?"

"Forget it. There's no time."

Li Xuewu nodded to Diliya and Yushui, then walked out, explaining, "If he hadn't gone home to ask, I wouldn't have bothered to look in the backyard and would have left long ago."

"Don't pay attention to him, he's trying to blackmail you again."

Sha Zhu walked him to the door, and reminded him jokingly, "I will stay away from this dog-skin plaster."

"Come on, keep busy—"

Li Xuewu waved his hand and walked towards the front yard.

Sha Zhu watched him leave before entering the house.

Diliya changed the child into thinner clothes, pointed to the ten-yuan ingot on the lid of the box and asked, "What should we do?"

"What the hell?"

Sha Zhu said nonchalantly, "Their family will be back for the New Year, so we can return it then."

"How much should we give to our two children?" Diliya grumbled, "It would not look good to give five dollars..."

"Don't worry about that—"

Sha Zhu waved his hands and said, "Let me tell you, he really doesn't need this, he just wants to have fun."

"If you're serious, it's really boring."

He put away the tea bowls on the edge of the kang and said, "Don't bother about ten or five yuan. It's just one yuan. Give it to all three children of the Li family."

Without waiting for Diliya to say anything else, he emphasized: "You can buy some tobacco for the old lady and his grandfather. If you feel bad about it, you can make a pair of cloth shoes for them. It will be a token of your appreciation."

"Then let's make a pair of cloth shoes," Diliya thought for a moment and said, "The old lady and Aunt Liu are still helping us take care of the children."

"Make another pair for the aunt..."

"It's up to you. Don't think so much."

Sha Zhu said casually: "The most taboo thing in relationships is calculation and calculation. The more you calculate, the thinner you become."

"What did you just say to the house?"

Diliya had made up her mind, coaxed the child to crawl on the kang, turned around and asked Sha Zhu: "Who didn't treat it well?"

"The third uncle in the front yard went to extort Li Xuewu's house."

When Sha Zhu saw Yu Shui turned back to the inner room after listening to what he said, he shook his head in amusement and anger, looked at Diliya and asked, "Do you think the third uncle is mentally ill?"

"The old man is asking for trouble by eating arsenic!"

He curled his lips and said, "Everyone in this courtyard is waiting to see him make a fuss. It's Li Xuewu, right? I don't want to bother with him."

"Don't mess with him!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's tone, Diliya warned him: "No matter who has money, don't give him money. He can't stand you."

"No need to remind me, I'm not stupid—"

Sha Zhu looked out the window towards the front yard and said, "Now it's my turn to watch the fun!"
-
"Why haven't I seen you buy any electrical appliances?"

Liang Zuodong, deputy director of the management committee office, chatted with Li Xuewu with a smile: "Your family doesn't need these?"

"I can't use it for the time being, what about you?"

Li Xuewu smiled and glanced at him, then asked, "I didn't go and buy some, but this opportunity is rare."

"Yes, I asked my brother-in-law to go."

Liang Zuodong was quite frank, and when he smiled his two big teeth stuck out arrogantly.

He leaned back in his chair and straightened up and said, "It takes a tricycle to carry the whole family. I have to take advantage of this real bargain."

"Have you bought a TV?"

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "The price is right now, but I don't know which route to follow in the future."

He was talking about the planned market price, the kind that comes with coupons, and the price at which the tertiary industry supplies the internal market.

Which price will be implemented depends on whether this year's TV sets will be required to go through planned market channels.

This thing is still a scarce commodity now. There may not be one in a village. It is much scarcer than bicycles.

If the Red Star Factory works hard to produce, the supply will be enough to supply the entire capital, and there will even be surplus.

But let’s not talk about foreign trade orders for now. Even the spare parts cannot keep up with the production speed, not to mention the opposition from the Beijing TV Factory.

The planned economy has its own unique economic system, and free market trade can only supplement it but must not affect its fundamentals.

Actually, Red Star Factory is not willing to do domestic trade because it is difficult to set prices and the profits are not very high.

But some goods must be traded domestically in order to exchange for necessary production materials and supplies through the trade management center.

The production system now built by the Red Star Factory is particularly complex, and one move can affect the entire system.

Liang Zuodong already knew about this and shook his head slightly, saying, "One is that they can't afford it, and the other is that they don't like it."

He smiled and said to Li Xuewu: "I watched it, but there were only a few shows, and I got tired of watching them over and over again."

"It would be great if our factory had its own TV station," he said, turning sideways to Li Xuewu. "I heard that our factory's radio and newspaper were changed with your support?"

"I have to say, it is much better than our previous unit, especially in terms of the richness of the programs."

"No, you misunderstood—"

Li Xuewu explained with a smile: "I am not responsible for these two tasks, so how can I talk about support and help?"

"Even if there is, it will only be two small suggestions at the meeting."

"You are too modest, aren't you?" Liang Zuodong said with a smile, "The comrades at the radio station have all said they want to thank you."

"Haha, I don't believe it!"

Li Xuewu chuckled and sat up straight. Now that he had seen his leader coming in with his men, he changed the subject and expression.

"I called you here for one thing," Gu Weijie said, without even sitting down. She waved her hand and introduced the two people she had brought with her, "This is Comrade Bai Changshan, who is here to serve as deputy director of our management committee office."

She raised her hand and introduced another person: "Comrade Zhou Zechuan, I believe everyone knows him, so there is no need to introduce him."

Gu Weijie looked at the two of them, motioned towards the sofa and said, "Comrade Liang Zuodong, deputy director of the Management Committee Office, has also just been transferred here."

"Comrade Li Xuewu, head of the security team and deputy director of the management committee office, is an old comrade in our factory."

"Team Leader Li is not old—"

Zhou Zechuan smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with Li Xuewu and said, "We meet again, Team Leader Li."

"meet again--"

Li Xuewu smiled and shook his hand, saying, "I was wondering when I saw the notice the other day whether there was a duplicate name, hehe."

“I am so happy to visit the old place again.”

Zhou Zechuan smiled and let go of his hand, saying, "I will learn more from you in the future."

“You’re so polite. Let’s learn from each other.”

Li Xuewu nodded and looked with a smile at Bai Changshan who had just shaken hands and exchanged greetings with Liang Zuodong.

The other party took the initiative to extend his hand and said politely: "Hello, Team Leader Li, I have heard of your name for a long time."

"You are too polite. It's not a big name."

Li Xuewu smiled and shook his hand, then asked, "Are you and Comrade Zechuan colleagues?"

There was a skill in asking this question, because Gu Weijie did not introduce his background, so it is better to ask intuitively than to guess.

Even if you are asking, you have to be skillful. Since you know where Zhou Zechuan came from and who transferred him, you can just ask for help from a higher-up.

It's very simple. The other party must not be Zhou Zechuan's colleague, nor was he transferred here by the same person as Zhou Zechuan.

Because he knew this, he asked this question on purpose.

Because the other party will also give an answer when they deny it.

"No, Deputy Team Leader Zhou and I just met."

Bai Changshan smiled and explained, "I used to work in the Information Department of the Beijing Industrial Bureau. I hope you can help me in the future, Team Leader Li."

"Really? I haven't seen you before..."

Li Xuewu also showed his enthusiasm to him. After shaking hands, he looked at Gu Weijie and said, "The factory is really generous this time. Did they hear us say we've worked hard? Hahaha——"

"I heard it all on the third floor!"

Gu Weijie responded to his joke, glanced at him, and said to Zhou Zechuan and Bai Changshan: "Team Leader Li will arrange your next work. I will send you here."

"Thank you, Deputy Director Gu—"

The two of them thanked her in unison and saw her off with a smile.

"Sorry, there are too many personnel changes."

Li Xuewu took the initiative to give the two of them an excuse, explaining: "We don't have the energy or the resources to organize an inauguration ceremony, so it's a bit crude."

"It was the same when Deputy Director Liang came."

He gestured to Liang Zuodong, then pointed to himself and said, "I was also appointed in this batch, with just a piece of paper."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The four people in the office were all relatively young, so once they talked it out, there wasn't much to worry about.

Of course, I don’t know what’s going on in his heart.

Even if there is, there is nothing we can do. When Su Weide comes, it is only a small-scale meeting. Their deputy director-level position is not worth much.

It was already quite good enough that Li Xuewu, a team leader, who could carry two loads on his shoulders, came to pick them up.

After hearing the two of them talk, they didn't really care about these rituals or anything like that, so Li Xuewu just smiled and let it go.

"How about this, Deputy Director Liang arrived a few days earlier."

Li Xuewu gestured to Bai Changshan and said, "Can you take Deputy Director Bai to familiarize yourself with the work of our Commission Office?"

He gestured to Zhou Zechuan and said, "I'll take Comrade Zechuan back to the security team. We'll meet downstairs at noon."

"It's the first day of the New Year, and it's fate that we're all together. I'll treat all of us to a meal at the guesthouse."

"How can I feel so embarrassed——"

Bai Changshan smiled and said politely: "Just eat something in the cafeteria. There are still many days to come."

"No, the future is the future."

Li Xuewu smiled and shook his hand again, saying, "You just arrived today, so I can't have a ceremony. We must welcome you."

"Hahaha, thank you, Team Leader Li!"

Zhou Zechuan was quite calm. After all, he had been here for almost two months. He told Li Xuewu that he was not only a new colleague, but also an old friend.

But the word "friends" should be put in quotation marks because whether we are friends or not is something we can discuss later. Let's eat the meal first.

"Then I will respectfully obey your command!"

Bai Changshan said with a smile: "Meeting Team Leader Li really made me feel the warmth of finding the organization."
-
"It's really hard to report here before the New Year."

Walking down the stairs, Li Xuewu said to Zhou Zechuan beside him: "I thought you guys would come after the New Year."

"The leader has made a request, so there is nothing I can do."

Zhou Zechuan shook his head and said, "He urged us to complete the formalities and then called the factory to come pick us up."

"Haha, there's no psychological gap, right?"

Li Xuewu looked at him and laughed, saying, "He used to be the leader of the working group, and now he is a comrade in the security team."

"Hahaha--"

Although Zhou Zechuan is a disciplinary inspector and has a stern face at work, he is a very easy-going person in private.

I just don’t know if this is just a superficial appearance or the essence, or if it is a deliberate means of paralyzing others.

"What psychological gap? No."

He said very frankly: "I'm telling you, please don't laugh at me, in fact, I applied to come to the Red Star Factory on my own."

"Oh, why is that?"

Li Xuewu rolled his eyes and asked, "Come down to exercise?"

"You are so straightforward——"

Seeing him asking questions without any reservation, Zhou Zechuan was a little overwhelmed.

At this moment, he took the initiative to explain: "Sitting in the office for a long time makes me unhappy and boring, especially when I see the welfare of your factory."

Walking to the lobby on the first floor, he pointed to the welfare notice on the bulletin board and said enviously, "I like this."

"Hehehe——"

Li Xuewu chuckled and thought to himself, I don’t believe you!

"I want to tell you something, please don't cry."

He deliberately lowered his voice and said cautiously: "You came at an unfortunate time. The benefit you saw was from last year."

"Oh? Is there any difference?"

Zhou Zechuan seemed to really care about the work benefits. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it less this year?"

"Well, it's not less, it's a lot less."

Li Xuewu smiled helplessly and said, "More than 10,000 people become more than 90,000 people. You can do the division, right? That's what it means."

"It took us a lot of effort to arrange the salaries and positions."

He emphasized: "It seems like the welfare benefits of last year must at least wait for the Red Star Factory to complete its group construction and digest this opportunity."

"Oh, are you serious—"

Zhou Zechuan asked in surprise: "Then I will call the leader now and ask if it is too late to regret now."

"Hahaha--"

Li Xuewu is now certain that he is just talking nonsense!
-
The deputy head of the security team and cadres from various departments were called to the conference room and Zhou Zechuan was introduced to everyone.

Zhou Zechuan gave a brief speech to the department cadres with a relatively gentle expression.

Then Li Xuewu and Sun Jian sent him to the prepared office, and the process was completed.

The security group now has four group-level cadres, one director and three deputy directors. Since the security group was first established, it has never fought such a strong battle.

However, he estimated that the deputy team leader would have to come.

Why?

Because he had to leave, Yu Decai was a cadre of the Red Star Factory, Zhou Zechuan was parachuted in from above, and Wang Xiaoqin was a foreign aid.

Don’t you notice something is missing from these people?

That’s right, they are the cadres of the sixteen enterprises based on Beijing Industry, or the cadres of Beijing Industry.

The current security team is still the security team of the Red Star Steel Mill. According to the agreement with Beijing Industry, a complete steel mill management team will be handed over to Beijing Industry in two years.

Looking at the current situation of three shifts in the workshop, overstaffing of the office and overstaffing of the team, it is clear that the security team is still short of one person.

This relatively redundant state will not last long, as one year has passed in the three-year plan.

Since last year, the steel rolling mill has been under construction in Steel City. We are just waiting for the Santaya Group to finalize the strip rolling technology introduced from America, and then we will perfect the design plan.

Beijing has also selected a site for its new steel rolling mill under Beijing Industry, and construction will begin in the first half of the year.

In other words, within two years, these redundant cadres, structures, workers and equipment will be stripped away.

Within two years, the Red Star Factory would be carrying out group downsizing, and the pace and plan matched perfectly.

This is certainly not a coincidence, but was designed long ago.

There will be two types of people who will be separated at that time. One type is the personnel who have already been determined by the original 16 companies.

The other category is the original employees of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill who do not want to work in the Steel City and can go to the new steel rolling mill.

Li Xuewu, who participated in the design of this weight-loss plan, estimated that the number of people would be reduced by 20,000.

That’s right, the newly opened steel rolling mill of Beijing Industry will definitely be larger and more complete than the current Red Star Factory.

In addition to taking over all the existing steel rolling industrial equipment of the Red Star Factory, they also merged some enterprises engaged in machining.

This is still taking advantage of the supply chain, steel rolling and matching machine processing, even if it is OEM, it can support 20,000 employees.

The construction company that Hongxing Factory is currently planning to build has the largest project, in addition to the Liangmahe Industrial Zone and Gangcheng Industrial Zone, the Xinjing No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill in Fengtai.

The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was originally named the First D Third Steel Rolling Mill. Later, it merged with the Second, Fourth and Fifth Plants and was renamed the Red Star Plant.

Now the capital's industry is also very ambitious. It has directly built the No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill, which seems to be challenging the Red Star Factory.

Otherwise, why would Old Li mutter that teaching the apprentice would starve him to death?

In the existing organizational structure, the cadres trained for the Beijing No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill are all deputies, and the staff is not fully staffed.

The purpose is very simple, I just don't want to spend more money. If I provide the other party with a complete team, how much salary will it cost in two years?

First, assign one to keep it in reserve, and then make a final push in the last six months to equip a complete team.

Lao Li also had other purposes in doing this.

By that time, the Red Star Factory will be grouped together, and some troublemakers who are disobedient will be directly assigned to the team of the Beijing No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill and kicked out.

I've been promoted and appointed. There's nothing I can say but accept my fate.

It doesn't matter where you work, at least you can stay in Beijing.

Isn’t Bai Changshan, the new deputy director of the Management Committee Office, playing such a role?

Those with obvious labels will all leave in the future, and this has formed a circle within the Red Star Factory.

The cadres in this circle will inevitably be naturally united, and may even temporarily affect the organizational ecology of the Red Star Factory.

So Lao Li only uses ruthless people, such as Li Xuewu.
