Siheyuan diet for men and women

Chapter 1251 Selling Peace
"It's still cold, are you turning the soil already?"

After get off work, Li Xuewu saw that the vegetable field on the left side of the yard had been turned over, so he asked Qin Jingru who came out to greet him.

Qin Jingru wiped her hands on her apron and replied nonchalantly, "Since the temperature has been high these past two days, I just tried it."

She pointed in the direction of the vegetable patch and said, "I didn't expect it to thaw. It turned over without much effort."

“It’s also because of the heavy snow this year.”

After taking the bag from Li Xuewu, she waved her hand again and said, "Don't worry about these things. It's useless to worry about them."

As he said that, he called Han Jiankun who had returned from the garage and said, "It will take a while before dinner. Turn over the rest."

"There's no rush—" Li Xuewu looked at her with amusement and said, "What if the soil is really overturned? Why do you still want to plant it?"

"Deduct some cabbage or something."

Qin Jingru looked very busy. She only explained this and then hurried back to the house.

When Li Xuewu turned around to look at Han Jiankun, his driver had already gone to the warehouse to find a suitable shovel.

Come on, now you see, his position in this family is in jeopardy, and even the nanny dares to say that he is worrying about nothing.

Of course, if one can’t even protect his own driver, how can he talk about family status?

The reason why he was not asked to plow the soil was because he was paid, otherwise he would not be able to escape.

No matter how smart you are, you can't beat a simple-minded person who dares to speak and act.

"Why did you come back so early today?"

When Li Xuewu was changing his shoes at the door, he saw Gu Ning's clothes and bag hanging on the rack.

When I entered the living room, I saw her coaxing the two children.

The big devil got tired of playing in the sand pit, so Han Jiankun collected the sand in his pocket and piled it in the corner.

The wooden frame of the sandpit was brought out and placed in front of the sofa. Li Ning was sitting on the cushion and playing with wooden blocks.

Seeing that it was his father who came back, the little guy politely gave him a piece and gave him a fake smile with his eyes narrowed.

"I haven't finished watching it yet—"

Gu Ning pointed at the picture book, reminding her daughter to be serious.

Li Shu's ears had already pricked up. There was the sound of a car at the door. It must be her father coming back.

When her father came into the room, she couldn't help but take a look, but she hadn't finished her homework for the day.

Of course she didn't dare throw away her book and go play with her father in front of her mother.

Even though her mother never hit her, scolded her harshly, or reprimanded her.

But the more this happened, the more she dared not ignore her mother's words.

"I still have - I still have a little bit left and I'll finish it."

Li Shu stood on the ground, lying on the sofa looking at a picture book, as if she was talking to herself and reminding her father.

Li Xuewu leaned close to her ear and looked at it with amusement, then praised her with a smile: "My daughter is really great, she is reading a book."

"I've been watching for one... one ten..." She still had a vague idea of ​​time, so she pinched her fingers and tried to emphasize, "I've been watching for one eleven and a quarter of an hour!"

"Then you are really amazing!"

Li Xuewu nodded in agreement and said, "Then you can tell this story to Dad before going to bed tonight."

"I-I can tell the story of the monkey and the pig!" Li Shu said excitedly: "I can also tell the story of the rabbit and the crow..."

"Finish reading this one first."

Gu Ning was also reading a book. He raised his hand and tapped his daughter's book, reminding her, "Finish reading before you go play with Dad."

"it is good--"

Li Shu glanced at her mother and agreed readily, without acting like a spoiled child like she did when she was with Li Xuewu.

This is true for Li Shu and Li Ning as well.

Don't be fooled by his young age, he is very smart.

No matter how hard it is to fool his sister, he is even harder to fool than his sister. The two siblings seem to be competing to be smarter.

The elder sister has learned her lesson, and Li Ning is watching her with her eyes. Now she is playing with her toys in the fence without crying or making a fuss.

In fact, Gu Ning didn't hate children, nor was he tired of coaxing them, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the trouble to teach Li Shu.

The unusual way of getting along with children has something to do with her personality and cognition.

She believes that the responsibility of being a parent is to take good care of children and teach them common sense in life to the best of their ability.

Sometimes we inadvertently overlook the age of a child. Li Shu, who had already started learning, was only three years old on her birthday.

"Why haven't I heard from Gu Yan recently?"

Li Xuewu took a shower upstairs, changed into home clothes and came down. Seeing that his mother and the others were still playing by themselves, he took the initiative to speak.

Li Shu, who had completed her task, was very sensible and coaxed her younger brother to play. When she saw her father coming down, she gave him a bright smile.

Li Xuewu bent down and kissed his daughter on the top of her head before sitting next to Gu Ning.

"I'm probably busy in the company. I didn't ask."

Gu Ning doesn't act like a sister. Unless Gu Yan takes the initiative to contact her, she won't take the initiative to contact her brother.

"Still in Jin Province?"

Li Xuewu fiddled with the cup on the coffee table, poured himself a cup of hot water, and asked, "Is it convenient to go back and forth?"

"What do you want from him?"

Seeing Li Xuewu asking this, Gu Ning moved his gaze from the page of the book and looked at him in confusion.

Li Xuewu turned around and asked with a smile, "Does Gu Yan have a partner? Or a childhood sweetheart or something like that."

"What are you going to do?"

Gu Ning frowned slightly and said, "Are you addicted to matchmaking?"

"If you think it's appropriate, introduce it to me."

Li Xuewu smiled indifferently, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "I just remembered it today, and I didn't ask mom."

"I don't know, probably not."

Gu Ning put away the book in his hand and said, "There is no such thing as child marriage. Our family has never heard of such a thing."

"Just in case, it's better to ask clearly."

Li Xuewu joked, "Don't let a female disciple from a high mountain come down to visit and ask to fulfill the marriage contract."

"If she is a truly amazing lady with both beauty and talent, I will be ruining my brother-in-law's life."

Thinking of this, he said with amusement: "Misunderstandings don't matter, but it will be troublesome if there is another battle to break off the engagement."

"what are you talking about?"

Gu Ning looked at his nonsense with strange eyes and asked, "Are you serious or joking?"

"Do you doubt the power of breaking off an engagement?"

Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "You don't know, how many wealthy nobles have been ridiculed and slapped in the face because they missed the child marriage that came to them. Many stories start like this."

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Seeing Gu Ning's expression of looking at him as if he was crazy, Li Xuewu also stopped joking without any reason, "What I said before was serious."

"He is only twenty years old," Gu Ning reminded him, "and he hasn't finished his studies yet. He is just going down to train now."

"It takes a while to date someone."

Li Xuewu shook his head indifferently and said, "Besides, if there is no news this year, there should be news next year."

He looked at Gu Ning and said, "Gu Yan went to school in 1965, right? He will graduate next year."

"You knew he would graduate next year?"

Gu Ning sometimes suspected that he was a prophet and there was always some news that she didn't know.

Maybe it was analyzed through news, or maybe it was judged through the situation, anyway, it sounds weird.

"Who are you going to introduce him to?"

"There is a girl in our unit who also graduated from the Iron and Steel Institute two years ago. She is 23 this year," Li Xuewu said, taking a sip of hot water. "She is now the head of our security department. She is a good talent."

"Three years older than Gu Yan..."

Gu Ning said this for no reason, but did not continue. She was thinking about herself and Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu smiled and pulled her hand, saying, "I think it's good. A man should find a woman older than himself to marry."

"Lu Xun once said that a man remains young until he dies."

He knows how to coax his wife, "A girl who is three years older than you is a treasure. Women who are older can be more tolerant and understanding, and take care of each other."

"I didn't notice it before, but I thought of it today," he sat up straight and said with a smile, "The two of them have very compatible personalities."

"I also learned about her family situation from the papers. She has an older sister and a younger brother, and her father works in the city."

"You can ask him," Gu Ning saw Li Shu looking at him, pulled his hand away, picked up the book and said, "Like a furry rabbit."

"Who are you talking about?" Li Xuewu looked at his daughter with amusement and emphasized, "Are you talking about my brother-in-law or me?"
-
"Hey, Team Leader Li, have you talked to Yingcheng?"

Liang Zuodong came out of the office and saw Li Xuewu coming downstairs, so he called him, "I heard from Xiao Liu that Deputy Director Jing is urging us."

"We are in contact. Comrade Si Nian is assisting in handling the matter."

Li Xuewu's expression was normal, except that he frowned slightly when the other party mentioned Deputy Director Jing, and then returned to normal.

However, this slight change in expression was still noticed by the other party.

Liang Zuodong deliberately brought up this topic just to draw Deputy Director Jing's attention and test his emotions.

"Is that so? It's okay."

Seeing Li Xuewu looking at him, Liang Zuodong smiled and nodded, saying, "If the leader asks again, I'll let Xiao Liu contact you."

"Wait a minute, there's no rush."

Li Xuewu forced out a smile, as if he had to conceal it, and seemed a little impatient.

"If you have time, you can pay attention to it," he emphasized deliberately, "There is strength in numbers."

"Me? Forget it."

Liang Zuodong would never take such a bomb thrown at him, so he smiled and said politely: "I don't have that ability."

"When it comes to economic work, it has to be you."

"You're welcome—"

Li Xuewu smiled and pointed downstairs and said, "I have another meeting. I'll let you know when I have news."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work--"

Liang Zuodong felt Li Xuewu's counterattack, smiled indifferently, and stood there watching him go down the stairs.

As soon as their eyes separated, the smiles on each other's faces disappeared, and there was more understanding and surprise in their eyes.

Liang Zuodong is now basically certain that the rumors in the office yesterday were true.

Deputy Director Jing smashed a cup in front of Team Leader Li, and this happened after the office meeting, and bad rumors started to spread.

To his surprise, Li Xuewu behaved very calmly and steadily, and did not launch any further counterattacks or take any further measures.

How can you be so tolerant?

Looking at Li Xuewu, he was surprised by Liang Zuodong's sudden test, but he also felt it after a few words of confrontation.

He was a little surprised that the other party dared to fight with him and mastered the rules of the game of Red Star Factory so quickly?
Still, someone was willing to recruit him and accepted him as a member of the team.

No need to think about it, such initiative must be related to the topic discussed at the management committee meeting.

Liang Zuodong, as deputy director, felt threatened by his transfer to the position of director of the Management Committee Office and secretary-general.

Similarly, with Li Xuewu as secretary-general and under absolute authority, it would be difficult for him to make a name for himself in the Red Star Factory.

Of course, the agenda was not passed and several leaders disagreed, which gave Liang Zuodong some hope.

Not all leaders of the Red Star Factory recognized Li Xuewu's work. Even if Li Xuewu became the director of the Management Committee Office, he still had opportunities to go further.

It is easy to be a deputy, but it is difficult to be the main person.

Who can guarantee that he will not make mistakes in his life? Not even the Fox from Red Star Factory.

As long as he doesn't join the Management Committee and doesn't hold the position of Secretary-General, he will have to leave the Management Committee Office even if he comes there and won't stay for long.

Everyone knows that Dong Wenxue will be back in a year or two. Li Xuewu will either go there in advance to serve as a deputy and prepare to take over, or go there directly to take over.

No matter what, he won't stay in the position of director of the management committee office for long.

We are both deputy directors, so who wouldn’t want to remove the word “deputy”?

Even Bai Changshan, the "trained cadre", would want to do that, right?
But, the idea is good.

Sometimes you see that the confidentiality system in an agency is like a sieve, and that's because the leaders don't care about these so-called news.

But there are some things that leaders know about tacitly and don’t speak out, so no one can say for sure or see clearly.

Take the conflict and contradiction between Jing Yunong and Li Xuewu for example. Who can tell now why the two of them had a falling out?

There have been a lot of personnel changes in the agency. The young people who have joined in the past two years have replaced most of the old hands who have been idling around.

Office efficiency has long surpassed that of the past under the supervision of the Audit Department, and factory leaders have the most say.

Similarly, how can one describe something clearly if one has never heard of it, or has heard rumors of it but has never seen it?

A dispute over the interests of the allied industry and the tertiary industry? A dispute over personnel?

There were also rumors that Director Li and Deputy Director Jing had an argument in the past, and the news was flying everywhere, making it very confusing.

But there is one thing that everyone is certain of and that is obvious to all, and that is Deputy Director Jing's temper and Team Leader Li's patience.

Deputy Director Jing usually has a serious attitude towards them. Although he doesn't get angry or scold them, he is very serious.

When she met Team Leader Li, who had a bad temper and ruthless methods, she acted like a person who knew there was a tiger in the mountain but still went there.

He dared to pinch the tiger's nose and give it a slap, and even used the move of smashing the cup as a signal, which shows how powerful he is.

This also enabled Jing Yunong to quickly establish his authority in the Red Star Factory, making him appear more prominent and powerful.

Even the tiger from the Security Department didn't dare to fight back, so who would dare to confront her?

Let’s look at Team Leader Li from the security team.

It is said that if Scar jumps, your life will be in danger. If anyone makes Team Leader Li angry, he will definitely be sent to Xishan for shooting.

However, despite several conflicts with Deputy Director Tong Jing, Team Leader Li actually endured it.

This has greatly changed the stereotypes of him held by the cadres and staff in the agency.

Li Xuewu is not a vicious and reckless person. He has a bottom line and work standards.

Quietly, no one noticed that in this conflict, Jing Yunong quickly established his position and authority in the face of the expansion and adjustment of team members and changes in the situation and pattern.

Li Xuewu, who had already decided to quit the security team and needed to change his strong working style, also underwent a complete transformation and successfully transitioned.
-
“Sometimes what you see with your eyes may not be true, and what you hear with your ears may not be true either.”

Li Huaide advised earnestly: "Who said that you, Comrade Yunong, are narrow-minded? Why would you argue with Li Xuewu about this?"

"I just don't believe that a little disagreement at work would make you fight with him."

He knocked on the table and said, "In the office, things are spread around like rumors, and they become like the truth."

"I don't believe it at all—"

"Thank you for your understanding, Director Li."

Jing Yunong picked up the teacup and took a sip calmly, but his attitude remained the same as when he first came in.

This made Li Huaide feel like a punching bag. What did I want? It was all for the Red Star Factory!
He heard about what happened yesterday afternoon. The third floor is so small and the sound of the teacup breaking was so loud, but he is not deaf.

Secretary Li Haiyang saw with his own eyes that Li Xue took away a pile of broken porcelain pieces. It was said that it was Deputy Director Jing's favorite teacup.

He said that what you see is not true, and what you hear is not true, but nothing is more real than this.

Everything was going fine, so he asked Li Xuewu to go over to ease the relationship, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect. How did the two of them talk about this?

In his eyes, Jing Yunong is a tigress, and Li Xuewu is the tiger of the Security Department.

Don’t people say that there can’t be two tigers in one mountain, unless they are one male and one female? Why doesn’t this work here?

There was no other way. Li Huaide could no longer sit still and had to personally step in to mediate and persuade the situation.

"The atmosphere in the office needs to be eradicated," he said. "Comrade Xuewu has made efforts in this regard. You and I can see it, right?"

"As for me, I still hope that the team will be good and the Red Star Factory will be better. Only when we are united can we have fighting power."

Li Huaide thought for a moment and tried to speak: "Regarding the appointment of Li Xuewu as the director of the Management Committee Office..."

"Director Li," Jing Yunong spoke up just as Old Li was about to speak, "Have you ever thought about his age?"

"I'm not targeting him. Even if we report his situation, what will the higher-ups think of our team as a whole?"

She frowned and asked, "Is there no one left at the Red Star Factory? They promoted a young man in his twenties to such a high position."

"When he was nominated as the head of the security team this year, I wanted to say something, but then I thought better of it."

Jing Yunong performed a very thorough job. In front of Li Huaide, he spoke of all of Li Xuewu's shortcomings and deficiencies in a stronger and more direct tone and words than at the management committee meeting.

He even talked about everything from qualifications to abilities, to the attitude and mental state shown at work.

Old Li listened very carefully for a full twenty minutes.

He seemed very serious on the surface, but he had already started to complain in his heart. He also said that he was not targeting Li Xuewu. What was this?

Jing Yunong pointed out all of Li Xuewu's shortcomings, but he didn't mention the last shortcoming that the team urgently needed to make up for.

Nor did they point out where Li Xuewu's abilities were lacking, or confirm that those jobs were related to Li Xuewu.

Saying that was like firing a cannon, and it was directed at Li Xuewu.

The more Lao Li listened, the calmer he became, and the more confident he became in persuading the other party. This is just an unreasonable woman.

Confucius said that only villains and women are difficult to raise.

So he waited until Jing Yunong finished his criticism, and then he spoke earnestly about the team's predicament and the pressure from above.

In particular, it mentioned that the organizational ecology and environment within the team are facing major challenges.

His management is also facing new adaptation conditions and needs a versatile person like Li Xuewu to preside over internal work.

Li Huaide especially talked about the purpose and significance of transferring Li Xuewu away from the security team.

What I didn't tell anyone else was that I wanted to weaken the influence of Dong Wenxue and Li Xuewu in the security team. I told Jing Yunong all this, and although it wasn't so direct, he understood what I meant.

"Comrade Li Xuewu is capable and motivated, but he still needs more training and development."

He concluded: "Putting it into the organization and coordination work can better supervise and regulate him."

To put it bluntly, this Monkey King is difficult to control if left outside, but if placed right in front of everyone, he will behave himself and be observed by everyone.

In order to persuade Jing Yunong, Lao Li even started to make up lies to deceive people, but such heartfelt words were powerful.

Even Jing Yunong, who had been talking incessantly and with a serious expression just now, fell silent and listened to him carefully.

"So, it makes sense to transfer him from business work to internal affairs work."

"I haven't thought about that."

Jing Yunong finally spoke, looking at Li Huaide and said, "I am still far behind you in terms of standardization and training of young cadres."

"Hey——" Li Huaide heard the other party say this, knowing that he had been persuaded, and waved his hand with great satisfaction, saying modestly: "Special circumstances require special treatment."

"I didn't think well enough."

Jing Yunong nodded, put down his teacup and said, "I don't appreciate your good intentions."

"Look, isn't this far away?"

Li Huaide accepted Jing Yunong's admiration with great pleasure, his tone was a little proud, but he tried to suppress the corners of his mouth and said: "We are a collective, we are united comrades."

"Helping everyone and uniting everyone is what I should do. It is also my responsibility and obligation."

He finally smiled and said, "Don't bother with him. Young people are always a little rebellious."

"Yes, you are right—" Jing Yunong nodded and said, "I will think about and summarize your words later."

"Communicate more, discuss more——"

When Li Huaide saw her stand up, he also stood up and said, "There is no conflict that cannot be resolved. They are all misunderstandings."

After seeing Jing Yunong off, he stood in the corridor with a smug smile on his face.

You see, no matter how difficult it is to subdue a tigress, she will surrender to me. Even Li Xuewu can't do it, but I can. Am I stronger than Li Xuewu?
-
Li Xuewu did not let Jing Yunong be soft-hearted, because he had a stubborn temper and would get angry easily.

"You can go to the meet-up on Saturday by yourself. I won't go to avoid being an eyesore and a nuisance."

After flying in the clouds with his eyes closed for a long time, Jing Yunong finally regained his senses and propped himself up to get out of bed.

Looking at the scoundrel lying there in the shape of a "木" character, she almost didn't have the strength to speak.

"But there is one thing you have to pay attention to."

She picked up her pajamas and put them on, and warned: "We can no longer cooperate with Wufenghang at any risk. This is a matter of principle."

“Last year’s collaboration was an accident.”

Li Xuewu turned on the bedside lamp, rubbed his face, looked at her and said, "It's not just Wufenghang that came this year."

"No matter who it is," Jing Yunong tied his skirt and said seriously, "Although the higher-ups didn't pursue last year's investment, it was because Wufenghang took the initiative to stand up and take the blame."

"But I could sense that some leaders were dissatisfied with my financial work."

"Not anymore, at least not anytime soon."

Li Xuewu pulled the quilt over his face. The light was a bit dazzling, but the decoration of this room was really tasteful.

“Compensation trade, the trade management center, and the joint savings bank have constituted the internal and external circulations.”

He said in a muffled voice: "You only need to strangle the flow of funds from the United Savings Bank to control the momentum and speed of economic development. There is no need to take risks in managing economic work."

"You think I'll thank you?"

Jing Yunong picked up the red wine glass on the cabinet and took a sip of the wine that he had not had time to finish.

The wine stimulated her taste buds and brought her some energy. She then continued, "Today we can only consider it a draw."

"I've already given you a cup as compensation."

Li Xuewu pulled off the quilt, looked at the graceful curves under the light, spread his hands and said, "Aren't you a little inhumane?"

"I have been polite enough to you--"

Jing Yunong put down his wine glass, turned around and said, "I think our relationship is a little too close. We should calm down."

Seeing Li Xuewu's raised eyebrow expression, she also raised her eyebrows and said, "Too much bondage has affected my judgment."

"At least until now I still haven't figured out why I let you in and even drank with you."

Well, it’s all the wine’s fault. No one mentioned anything other than the wine.

"You don't have to feel guilty or blame yourself."

Li Xuewu lifted the quilt and stood up, saying helplessly: "It's all my fault. It's my damn charm and my sense of responsibility for my work. Sigh——"

He also sighed and said, "It's all for work and unity. Director Li said we should communicate more."

"The conflict between us has been accumulating for a long time. How can we communicate without wine? If we drink too much, then... we can communicate well."

Li Xuewu stood up, found some clothes on the closet, and said, "Come on, since Deputy Director Jing has accepted my sincerity, I won't bother you anymore. Let's just live in harmony."

"Are you hungry?"

Jing Yunong looked at him talking nonsense, rolled his eyes and asked, "Let's have dinner first."

"Then have dinner before leaving."

Li Xuewu took off his pants that he had just put on, without caring about Jing Yunong's dying look.

"What are you looking at? It's hot in the room."

"You're such a bastard—"

Jing Yunong gritted his teeth, picked up the wine glass, and drank the rest of the red wine.
-
"Oh, this is a purple clay teacup."

Gou Zirong and Zhuang Cangshuo, who came to report their work early in the morning, found Deputy Director Jing's new teacup as soon as they entered the office.

In recent days, Deputy Director Jing's teacup has become a new hot topic in the unit, and everyone is guessing how this matter will end.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Director Li took action, the war was put out and the atmosphere of unity was strengthened again.

"You know this?" Jing Yunong glanced at him and said casually, "It's hard to tell whether it's good or bad if it's a gift from someone else."

"You don't mind?"

Gou Zirong really understood this. After asking for his leader's opinion, he saw Deputy Director Jing nod and then picked it up to read.

"I was just saying that I wasn't mistaken. It was indeed that cup," he raised his head and said to Jing Yunong and Zhuang Cangshu, "I've seen this cup before, in Liulichang..."

Having said this, he tactfully stopped talking and nodded, smiling, "It's a very good item."

Why didn't you say any more?

The leader just said that it was given by someone else, and he was not sure who that someone else was.

If it was a family member, there would be nothing to say, but if it was an outsider, it would be taboo to give such an expensive item.

So he loved this thing, but he didn't lose his mind. He knew where he stood and who he was talking to.

"It would be better to say tea."

Jing Yunong still had that indifferent expression on his face. He raised his hand and motioned for the two to sit down opposite him.

"I didn't pay attention to it. I just found it at home and brought it here. Now that you said that, I don't dare to use it anymore."

"Hey, isn't a teacup used for drinking tea?"

Gou Zirong would also say that, otherwise why would he be in charge of the sales department?

"In the eyes of those of us who treat purple clay teapots as precious objects, we have lost our understanding of their true nature, but you are the one."

He smiled and gestured to Jing Yunong, saying, "Only by using it daily can you appreciate the most original meaning of this object."

"Haha, there are so many things to pay attention to."

Jing Yunong smiled for the first time and didn't mention it anymore. He took the document in front of him and said, "You need to hurry up and communicate with Yingcheng about the cargo terminal. Your sales department is the most important."

Her smile only flashed across her face before she turned serious and said to the two of them, "Especially the construction of the container terminal."

"I have already communicated with the leadership, and I may no longer be responsible for this aspect of the work."

"Leader, what are you doing..."

Gou Zirong and Zhuang Cangshu were both stunned. They hadn't reacted yet.

I've heard that there will be another deputy director, who will be in charge of economic work.

But no one believed it, so how could Deputy Director Jing just hand over the work willingly?

Of course, it doesn't have to be handed over right away, but aren't these words said just to prepare for the handover?

"It's only a matter of time. I tell you this so that you can be prepared in advance, so that you won't be too busy when the time comes."

Jing Yunong emphasized: "These jobs all have time limits. You have to fulfill your own dreams and keep an eye on them."

"I have already talked to Deputy Director Cheng about production. He will also cooperate with the implementation of this project. Please keep this in mind."

She began to make pre-handover arrangements for the two people in charge of sales, which was very organized and targeted, which surprised the two.

He first talked about the progress of the container terminal project, and then emphasized the communication work after the foreign tour groups arrived in Beijing.

In particular, he reminded the sales department to actively cooperate with relevant responsible persons and fulfill their responsibilities.

The more Gou Zirong listened, the more he understood. He must have convinced Director Li and Deputy Director Jing was going to make a statement.

At the end of the conversation, Jing Yunong also commented emotionally on the achievements of the two in their respective fields of work.

At the same time, we also expressed our gratitude for each other's cooperation and help in work during this period.

This gentle attitude made the two even more confused. Does the cold and scary Deputy Director Jing also have a gentle side?
Before the two of them could fully appreciate this tenderness, the leader had already stopped talking, served tea and sent the guests away.

Li Xue tactfully escorted them out, and when she came back she asked tentatively, "Leader, is what Director Gou said true?"

"What?" Jing Yunong raised his head and followed Li Xue's gaze to the purple clay teacup. "What's true?"

"I mean, Director Gou means that a cup like this is very valuable?"

Li Xue asked carefully: "How about I help you put it away, in case you are careless again... I don't mean anything else."

"hehe--"

Seeing Li Xue's cautious and hasty apology, Jing Yunong suddenly smiled.

How could Li Xuewu, who is more cunning than a fox and more ferocious than a tiger, have a sister who is like a little white rabbit?
This really shouldn't be the case.

"It doesn't matter. He was wrong."

Jing Yunong smiled and said, "This one is not worth much. If I get angry and break it, someone will give it to me as a gift."

"Ah? Yes—"

Li Xue was a little confused. She didn't know what the leader meant by this. Is this really worthless?
On Saturday, Li Xuewu just checked in at the office and then hurried to the International Hotel.

The welcome dinner was too formal that day. Lao Li wanted to come up with something new, so no one had time to discuss what show to watch.

Today is the first day after the tour group ended its trip. Li Xuewu took the initiative to come to the International Hotel to meet with old friends.

The one who was most interested and the first to wait for him was Art, who left late last year.

I won’t tell you the full name, it’s too long.

"Hey! My friend, Lee!"

Art is still pretty cool. He placed an order of 30 million here last year and came here to join a tour group this year.

It's obvious that he's still full after having eaten his fill. He made a lot of money from the orders he delivered last year, which gave him the confidence to come back here.

"Hello, Art—"

Li Xuewu was very relaxed and hugged the other person, feeling his thin body. He could never have imagined that this guy was actually in the weapons business.

Of course, it is not accurate to simply say that he was engaged in the arms business, because he also ordered a lot of automobiles and hardware products from the Red Star Factory, and even placed orders for farm tools.

He was totally thinking of making a fortune by picking up a big bargain.

"Before coming to the mainland, I went to Hong Kong to meet Mr. Ji," Art raised his eyebrows meaningfully and said with a smile, "He is very influential there. I was really surprised."

"Haha, is this unexpected?"

Li Xuewu smiled indifferently and led him to sit on the sofa in the reception room.

"I haven't had time to ask you yet, how do you feel about this trip to the mainland?"

“As beautiful as always!”

Art bared his two big teeth with a big gap between them, and spread his hands and said, "I'm really tired of those assholes. There is no danger here. They are all lies."

"Thank you for your trust, Art."

Li Xuewu smiled and stretched out his hand to shake his hand again, although he knew that he must have some way of knowing what happened last year.

But from his attitude, it can be seen that he is a person who dares to lie with his eyes closed for profit.

Of course, saying this is also a reminder to Li Xuewu to protect his safety, but it is actually just a false reminder.

He trusted Red Star Factory so much, and if he was still in danger during this period, it would mean that Red Star Factory had betrayed his trust.

Don't think that all black people are fools. Having two forked big teeth is not a sign of a fool.

There must be a powerful force behind this kid, otherwise he wouldn't have dropped tens of millions of dollars.

"Hearing what you said, I won't ask you about your business," Li Xuewu said with a smile, "I've seen it all."

"Hehe——It's all work——"

Art was very casual, spreading his hands and said: "I am obsessed with this land, it makes me linger."

"Oh, by the way, I also brought you a gift!"

He pressed his palms together, took out a long gift box from his bag, and pushed it in front of Li Xuewu very solemnly.

"Given it to me?"

Li Xuewu saw him raise his hand to signal him to open it and take a look, and he chuckled and said, "How embarrassing."

Although he said this, he still opened the gift box, and inside was a glasses case.

When I opened it again, I saw a pair of sunglasses in the glasses case.

Well - how should I put it, the gift is very unique, it is the frog-eye glasses that are very popular in this era.

He did have some impression of it, as he had seen African bosses wearing this thing in many documentaries.

"Do you think I'm suitable to wear this?"

Li Xuewu looked at him amused but put it on anyway.

"Oh—that's it!"

Art clapped his hands excitedly, pointed at Li Xuewu and said, "I think you are very suitable to show this domineering side!"

He gestured to his eyes and said, "Especially with a more dangerous look hidden, you are more imposing now."

He is always ready to reveal his fierce side, which shows how bad the environment in which Art operates is.

This should be the case in Africa today. Hyenas must show their fangs in time, otherwise they will become prey.

"Thank you, I like it very much-"

Li Xuewu smiled and put away his glasses, saying, "I haven't asked you yet, what are your plans for coming to the mainland this time?"

“Of course, I’m looking forward to it!”

Art said with a grin, "Mr. Ji said he will come back as soon as possible. We have some big business to discuss."

"Of course, the cooperation with your factory will continue."

He shook his head slightly and said with emotion: "Your farm tools and hardware tools are as useful as your weapons. Customers like them very much."

"I regret your comments."

Li Xuewu grinned and said, "We prefer to sell peace to the world, such as farm tools."

“No, you’re selling peace.”

Art said seriously: "Without farm tools, there is no life, but without weapons, there is no condition for survival."

"It is because we have weapons that are as useful as farm tools that we can protect farm tools that are as useful as weapons and create peace."

"I did not expect--"

After hearing Art's awesome words, Li Xuewu raised his hand in surprise and said, "You are also a philosopher who can debate."

"Ha ha ha ha--"
