Chapter 1272: Confirmed Eyes

"Stand at attention - salute -"

This was an ordinary morning, but it was also the most common and special flag-raising mission among the countless ones that the Red Star Factory Guard had performed.

Because starting from today, all disciplinary teams of the Red Star Factory Security Group will undergo a major reorganization.

The original guard teams, patrol teams, fire brigades, and inspection brigades were cancelled.

On the basis of the original disciplinary team, three group-affiliated teams were reorganized, namely: the Red Star Steel Group Security Corps, the Fire Corps, and the Supervision Corps.

Also starting from today, the security team took the first step in self-transformation, achieving a new breakthrough in the separation of management and operation and the professionalization of the business team.

According to the "Red Star Factory Security Management Measures" proposed by Li Xuewu, the head of the Red Star Factory Security Team, to be discussed, passed and implemented by the Management Committee, except for special circumstances, security staff will no longer participate in front-line work...

Separation of management and operation is the first step for Hongxing Factory to realize groupization and reorganize its management work. It is also a key step in professional management and execution.

Following the security group, business management departments such as the sales department and production department will gradually realize the separation of management and operation and clarify management and business responsibilities.

In other words, just like the security team, the relationship between the head and hands such as organizational management and front-line execution will become clear and controllable.

Many people have noticed that the situation in the security team has changed.

The large group-level organizational structure that has just been merged for more than a year will face the fate of dismantling and reorganization, just as it is written in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", after a long period of separation, there will be unification, and after a long period of unification, there will be separation.

To dismantle the structure, the security team must be split into security work and supervision work. This is inevitable. Deputy Director Su has been promoting this work since he took office.

For the dismantling business, the establishment of three professional teams is in line with the needs of the times and work, and is also the result of meeting the organizational and management needs of the Management Committee.

It has been taken apart, but no one knows how to put it back together again.

Most of the rumors are speculations. One moment they say that a Supervisory Department will be established, and the next moment they say that it will be merged into the Organization Department. No one has gotten a conclusion from the leaders yet.

The same goes for the sales office. In order to meet management and business needs, the Tianjin Trade Management Center was first established, and then preparations were made to establish an international business department.

With the suggestion and support of Li Xuewu, the sales department experimentally established the Red Star Automobile (Beijing) Sales Branch.

In more than half a year, the conditions for separation of management and business have become mature, and it is time to form and train a professional sales team.

Therefore, after the security group has achieved separation of management and operation, the sales department will also adjust personnel relations, clarify the relationship between management and business, and realize sales specialization.

All business departments of the Red Star Factory will begin group-based and professional organizational changes, not just the security team and sales department.

It is carried out in the form of establishing professional factories, branches, professional teams, etc.

Compared with the security team, other agencies and departments do not have such a solemn sense of ceremony and more concrete procedures.

Delisting, listing, changing clothes...

On Wednesday, April 4, Li Xuewu, accompanied by deputy security team leader Wang Xiaoqin, Yu Decai, Tai Juncai, Zhou Zechuan and others, attended the fire brigade's sign removal and uniform changing ceremony.

"Two years ago, the Red Star Factory did not have a professional fire brigade."

Li Xuewu stood on the small playground, looking at the fire brigade staff who were lining up to change their uniforms, and said with emotion: "Time flies so fast——"

"I remember when I was first transferred to Beijing, this place was still a small courtyard," Yu Decai continued with a smile, looking at Li Xuewu and asked, "It turned out to be the auto repair station of the automobile transport team, right?"

"Yes, the auto repair station." Li Xuewu looked back outside the gate, pointed to the opposite side and said, "It's opposite the transport team."

“From nothing to something, from something to excellence.”

Yu Decai nodded and said, "All branches of Red Star Factory, including the steel rolling mill, not only have professional firefighting teams, but also have established and improved fire management systems and a professional training system for emergency management."

"To this day, I am still very proud to tell my colleagues that our Red Star Factory is at the forefront of emergency management in the entire industry and system."

He looked at Li Xuewu and said with seriousness and admiration: "It is all thanks to your foresight that we have today's good situation."

"This is my last time as the person in charge of security work. I won't be modest with you. Hahaha."

Li Xuewu smiled at Yu Decai, made a joke with everyone, and then said seriously: "It is the collective achievement and the glory of unity."

"I agree with the deputy director's words," Wang Xiaoqin said with a smile, "Only after I got involved in the work of the security team did I realize how rare today's achievements are. It's not an exaggeration to say that your leadership has contributed greatly to this."

"I'm going to hand over this baton to you. You will be the one to judge my merits and demerits," Li Xuewu smiled and looked at Wang Xiaoqin, and said frankly, "No one is perfect. Please criticize and correct my mistakes."

"Secretary General, you are too modest. I'd better copy your homework with a learning attitude. Hahahaha——"

With the cooperation and support of Yu Decai, Wang Xiaoqin and Li Xuewu became "modest" in front of the other two deputy team leaders.

Of course, in the eyes of Tai Juncai and Zhou Zechuan, this is definitely not modesty, this is commercial mutual praise, and it’s just them acting.

To the sound of inspiring accompaniment music, Li Xuewu handed the new flag to Comrade Cao Zhiqiang, chief of the Fire Brigade, who was wearing new uniform and new badge.

At the invitation of Chief Cao Zhiqiang, Li Xuewu delivered an inspiring speech to the firefighters who were performing the changing of uniforms ceremony today.
-

During the last inspection, Li Xuewu appeared very relaxed.

In fact, since he became the director of the Management Committee Office and jumped into the Management Committee as secretary-general, the security team has entered the post-Li Xuewu era.

With Wang Xiaoqin's sudden intervention and her appointment as the first deputy leader of the security team as a representative of the three teams, many people gave up on this unnecessary idea.

Li Xuewu did not immediately hand over his power, which also meant that the change of the main person in charge of the security team would not cause any waves.

Even if two deputy team leaders are transferred in, it will not affect the overall situation at all.

This is the opinion of the Management Committee and also the will of Li Xuewu. It is a foregone conclusion that Wang Xiaoqin, a representative of the Third Branch, will take over as the head of the security team.

When Wang Xiaoqin came to the Red Star Factory to work part-time, she also received support from the garrison district and the Third Guard Regiment. This was a win-win situation and also a mature experience.

With the help of other comrades from the Third Regiment, she had more time to learn about the Red Star Factory and its security work.

When Director Li was assassinated, Li Xuewu took the initiative to resign, which accelerated the pace of Wang Xiaoqin taking control of the security team and completing the work handover as soon as possible.

After coming out of the compound of the Fire Brigade, Li Xuewu called Wang Xiaoqin and walked back without leaving anyone else behind.

The three people, including Yu Decai, also knew that during the busy handover process, Li Xuewu must have a lot to say to his successor.

As for Yu Decai, he might be suspicious and feel dissatisfied and resentful because he felt that Li Xuewu did not trust him and did not support him in taking over the position of head of the security team.

Li Xuewu couldn't say anything about this because human hearts are unpredictable.

But there is one thing he is very sure of, that is, Yu Decai has self-knowledge.

Su Weide is not an easy leader to get along with. The security team is facing structural changes, and the position of person in charge is not easy.

Yu Decai should be very clear that he has no qualifications and trump cards to get Su Weide's support and appreciation, and he has no confidence in getting the support of the group.

He is not a person who can take on important responsibilities. His many years as an office director have smoothed out his edges and he no longer has the sharpness.

But Wang Xiaoqin is different. She is like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, and she is not afraid of Su Weide, the old turtle, at all.

Even though he had a tortoise shell, he dared not show his head or stretch out his claws.

At the end of last month, on March 3, the People’s Daily published the latest instructions from the ***:
The Management Committee has three basic experiences: one is the representation of reform cadres, one is the representation of the three work groups, and one is the representation of the reform masses, thus realizing the three-in-one combination of reform.

The Management Committee is a temporary organizational management body that combines the "three in one". The "three in one" situations vary in different departments and at different times.

But as far as the current Red Star Factory Management Committee is concerned, Li Huaide, the representative of the reform cadres, is the undisputed leader. It was he who fired the first shot in the Red Star Factory's large-scale learning and reform campaign.

There is no need to mention the three representatives.

The Wei San Regiment has close ties and close cooperation with the Red Star Factory. They have cooperation and exchanges in many aspects such as military training, security, and organizational construction. Wang Xiaoqin's visit to the Red Star Factory was supported by all members of the Management Committee.

The last one, the representative of the masses of change, is a somewhat special condition.

Because when the Red Star Factory was carrying out large-scale learning activities and production reforms, the masses participated in various forms and collective identities, and it was carried out in an organized and disciplined manner.

Therefore, Li Huaide also rejected the opinions of many people and pushed Li Xuewu to take the position of secretary-general of the management committee on the grounds of the medals on his body.

Su Wei is feeling very uncomfortable now.

The first was the change in the head of the security team. The relevant resolution had been passed before he arrived, which put him in a passive position.

Secondly, Li Xuewu was transferred to the Management Committee Office, and Wang Xiaoqin, the third representative, took over, which posed a lot of challenges to his voice.

Because as a representative of the third branch, Wang Xiaoqin was able to participate in the work discussions of the Management Committee and, like him, had the right to influence the work decisions of the Red Star Factory.

Of course, under the management committee system, Li Huaide always has absolute say, and it doesn't matter if he fights for it, but he would feel angry if he doesn't fight for it.

The last thing is the execution of the work. Without the support of the head of the business department, many of his ideas became fantasies and were of no use at all.

He can't command Li Xuewu now, and he won't be able to control Wang Xiaoqin in the future.

It can be said that his job as the head of security work is very frustrating.
-

On April 4, Li Xuewu signed a mobilization order for rotation training for the entire disciplinary team of the security department in accordance with organizational work needs.

The team participating in the training this time includes all security, fire protection and supervision departments.

At the same time, the factory militia management office issued a call for rotation training to all militiamen.

According to the training and management needs of basic militia, the training goal requires at least three months of full-time leave, which is a challenge for the production work of the Red Star Factory.

Li Xuewu boldly asked the Security Department to divide the training team into several groups according to the annual training goals based on the work needs of the department's executive teams and basic militia.

That is to say, referring to the training experience of the past two years, every month, every department, and every factory has employees serving as basic militia participating in a three-month rotation training.

The training locations include the main factory, branch factories, training grounds and other areas. The security department of each branch factory will formulate training plans in accordance with the unified plan and in line with local training goals.

In particular, Li Xuewu also required in the training order that the United Industrial School will carry out a one-month basic military training for students of all grades during the summer vacation.

Different from the previous basic militia training outline, and different from the conventional training contents such as formation, shooting, bomb throwing, blasting and tactical training, Li Xuewu made the following requirements when organizing the preparation of the training outline in the Security Department:

First, military theory education was added, requiring basic militia members to learn both combat skills and theory.

It includes national defense knowledge, military ideas, military history, military laws and regulations, etc., with a focus on improving the national defense concepts and legal awareness of basic militia.

Second, it standardized tactical action training, including basic combat actions, basic tactical actions, combat drills, etc., and required the improvement of the individual combat capabilities of the basic militia.

Third, light weapons shooting training has been strengthened, requiring students to master the basic structure, performance, operation methods and shooting skills of firearms to improve shooting accuracy and speed.

Fourth, physical resilience training was supplemented. Through running, obstacles, equipment and other forms, the training content in strength, speed, endurance, flexibility and other aspects was strengthened to enhance the physical fitness and combat effectiveness of the basic militia.

Fifth, emergency rescue training has been added to learn rescue knowledge for natural disasters and emergencies such as earthquakes, floods, and fires, and to improve the emergency rescue capabilities of basic militia.

Sixth, the communication and liaison training has been enriched. The previous single radio communication has been changed to include wired communication, mobile communication, and suggestion signal communication. It is required to master the use and maintenance of communication equipment to improve the communication and liaison capabilities of basic militia in actual combat.

Seventh, strengthen engineering operations training, carry out simple engineering construction and maintenance, such as digging trenches, building bunkers, erecting bridges, etc., to improve the militia's engineering operations skills.

Eighth, strengthen defensive combat training, learn tactics such as urban defense, key point guarding, counter-terrorism and maintaining stability, and improve the defensive combat capabilities of basic militia.

Ninth, strengthen ideological and political education, carry out education on the organization's lines, principles, and policies, and strengthen the political awareness and loyalty of grassroots militia.

Tenth, psychological training has been specially added, with an eye on cultivating the psychological quality of cadre militiamen and improving their psychological endurance in dealing with wars and emergencies.

The Red Star United Radio Station broadcast the news of this round of training mobilization order throughout its broadcast time.

Through the radio signal, announcer Yu Haitang read out the instructions given by Li Xuewu at the end of the mobilization order in a loud and clear voice:

All basic militia members are required to strictly follow the training subjects and contents, carry forward the fighting spirit of not fearing hardship and not fearing death, dare to overcome all difficulties, dare to overwhelm all enemies, and resolutely complete the missions and tasks assigned by the organization and the people in the new era. They should train hard to comprehensively improve the militia's military quality, combat capability and emergency rescue level, and contribute due strength to national defense and local construction.
-

"Leader, leader, I have something to talk to you about."

Li Xuewu came out of his office in the main office building and ran into Yu Haitang, who was wearing a smart women's executive suit, in the corridor.

(P.S.: The cadre uniforms at that time were also OK)

"What? Are you here to stop me again?" Li Xuewu looked at her with amusement, and without stopping, he walked downstairs and said, "I really don't have time."

"Oh, we're not talking about the interview—" Yu Haitang and Zhou Miaomiao, who was following behind Li Xuewu, smiled and chased Li Xuewu downstairs, "Look how embarrassed I am for you."

“Hahaha——” Li Xuewu didn’t pay attention to her tone and said with a smile: “As long as we don’t do interviews or record shows, everything is fine. Everything is fine.”

"You are our supervisor now!"

After hearing what he said, Yu Haitang said coquettishly, "If you don't support our work, who will trust us in the future?"

"Besides, since I took over the program transformation work of the radio station at the beginning of last year, I have invited you many times, and you rejected me every time - we have no confidence in our work anymore!"

"Look at your mouth, you really deserve to be the gold medal broadcaster of Red Star Factory!"

Li Xuewu nodded at her and said, "I'm so busy now that I don't even have time to eat. Can you please be kind and let me go first?"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about the interview first!"

Yu Haitang is a man who takes advantage of opportunities. He knows that Li Xuewu is difficult to invite and today's opportunity is rare, so why not get down to business?

"I know our factory is investing in the construction of a radio and television building. The building hasn't been completed yet, so I won't ask you for new equipment yet," she smiled and took Li Xuewu's arm and said, "Can you support our talent development work for cultural and artistic programs first?"

"What radio and television building?"

Li Xuewu looked at her with amusement, signaled her to be careful when going down the stairs, and emphasized: "That is the building of the Literature and Art Publishing House. How can it be yours?"

"We each report to the factory separately."

Yu Haitang blinked mischievously and said with a smile: "This is called relying on one's own ability to compete for excellence and first place."

"Well - let's compete for the top spot here?"

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, walked down the stairs, entered the hall and asked: "Tell me, how do you want me to support the talent development work of your art program?"

"I'm not trying to embarrass you!"

Yu Haitang let go of Li Xuewu's arm and said seriously, "You also know that our factory has set a precedent in the peripheral and system literary and artistic radio programs."

"Even if I want to learn advanced work experience from my peers, there is no such rich program format as ours," she looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Can you let me go to the Art Propaganda Team to select professional actors who have ideas, potential, and real strength?"

"I promise that I will definitely do a good job in the arts program and strive to make it more professional!"

“Please ask professionals for professional matters.”

Li Xuewu walked to the entrance of the hall, nodded thoughtfully and said: "Your work idea is correct, but it is still a bit narrow."

"There are people who have potential, ideas, and are willing to engage in radio and art work, and it's not just the art propaganda team that has good seedlings."

He nodded at Yu Haitang and said, "Have you ever thought that there are also outstanding literary and artistic representatives among our grassroots teams and front-line workers?"

"Of course, I'm not denying your suggestion."

Li Xuewu patted her arm and said, "There's no problem with you going to the Art Propaganda Team to select backbones to supplement the talent needs of the art programs."

He turned around and told Zhou Miaomiao, "Please remember this for me. When you come back, please contact the Propaganda Department to see if we can organize a seminar."

"This can be considered as a business talent adjustment, giving the art and publicity team more options."

"Okay, leader, I'll arrange it when I get down."

Zhou Miaomiao nodded seriously and made a note in her notebook. Li Xuewu didn't have a secretary now, so whoever he caught in the big office would follow him when he went out to do work.

She took the initiative to find Li Xuewu today. Her purpose was to take advantage of every opportunity and get in touch with him more often, also for the purpose of learning.

“But I have a premise.”

Li Xuewu walked down the steps and emphasized to Yu Haitang before getting in the car: "When transferring jobs and positions between departments, the opinions of the employees themselves must be sought. Do not use force."

"I understand—" Yu Haitang said with a smile: "A forced melon is not sweet."

"That's good. I'll talk to you when I get back." Li Xuewu saw that she understood what he meant, nodded and said, "You guys are doing a good job at the radio station. You need to learn more and be more creative."

"Thank you for your instructions, leader..."

Yu Haitang stood beside the car and said politely with a smile: "Then I'll wait for you to come back."

Mm, that sound is kind of sweet!
Zhou Miaomiao had heard some history about Yu Haitang, and the sweet words "I'll wait for you to come back" brought back some memories. She gave her a special look before getting on the car.

At this time, Yu Haitang also looked at her.

The two eyes looked at each other, and light and shadow intertwined.

I've confirmed through eye contact that he's the same ruthless person!

One dares to "offer saliva", and the other dares to "carry the crotch".
-

Li Xuewu was not making excuses when he said he was busy with work and was unwilling to accept Yu Haitang's interview.

Because he is really busy.

Taking the Hongtu No. 1 minibus, we first visited the construction site of the twin towers of the factory office building, and then rushed to Fengtai to see the site of the Xinjing No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill.

It is normal to keep an eye on the construction of the Red Star Factory office building, but why go to see the site selection of the Xinjing No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill?
You said it, it’s a big deal.

The Red Star Factory and Beijing Industry had an agreement long ago. The Red Star Factory insisted on moving the steel rolling mill to Steel City to save transportation and construction costs.

It is also to complete the overall construction plan of Liangmahe Industrial Zone and relocate heavy industry.

However, Beijing Industry was reluctant to give up such a good heavy industrial resource as the steel rolling mill. The two sides reached a stalemate and finally reached an agreement.

Since the Red Star Factory is going to build a brand new steel rolling mill in Gangcheng and use brand new equipment and brand new production processes, the old equipment and technology will face the situation of being eliminated.

Although it is old equipment, the Red Star Factory had no plans to build a new factory before. The equipment is updated and renovated every year, so it is a relatively productive steel rolling industry.

The Red Star Factory no longer wanted these technologies and equipment, but Jingcheng Technology was reluctant to give them up. The two sides hit it off and selected a piece of land in Fengtai to build the first steel rolling mill in the new Jingcheng.

Well, Red Star Factory will be responsible for assisting Xinjing No. 1 Factory with a lot of projects including site selection, construction, demolition, and restoration of productivity, until it can operate completely independently.

Someone asked, is the Red Star factory idle? They sell equipment and provide hands-on training?

This is not idleness, this is to save money.

The new factory hasn't been built yet, and the old factory hasn't been demolished yet, but all the equipment and processes have been sold, reducing depreciation and land occupancy. Does this save money?
With the New Beijing No. 1 Factory taking over, some employees who were unwilling to follow the new factory to the steel city have now found resettlement and receiving units. Have they saved a lot of resettlement fees?
Since the Xinjing No. 1 Factory used the equipment and technology of the Red Star Factory and also continued to employ and absorb some of the workers of the Red Star Factory, did it mean that it still had to use the materials of the Red Star Metallurgical Plant?
These are the obvious benefits, and there are many advantages hidden behind them.

The two parties reached a cooperation agreement, which reduced the opposition of Beijing Industry to the Red Star Factory during its groupization process and deepened the basis for cooperation between the two parties.

Besides, doesn’t it cost money to build the new Beijing No. 1 Factory?

“The city has its own construction company.”

On the Hongyun No. 1 car, Zhao Fuchun, the head of industry, looked at Li Xuewu with amusement and asked, "Why do we have to use the engineering team of the Red Star Factory?"

“Because we can be responsible for our own construction projects.”

Li Xuewu said very frankly: "Xinjing No. 1 Factory uses our equipment and technology. Of course, we are more professional in how to design and construct the workshop."

"Another thing is that we are fully responsible for our own construction technology and quality."

"Ah, according to what you said, if we don't use your engineering team and there is a problem that the machine does not match the workshop, you will not be responsible?"

Zhao Fuchun said angrily and amusedly: "Hey! Are you threatening me?"

"Look at what you said. Did I put a knife to your neck and force you to use our engineering team?"

Li Xuewu was also very aggressive. He glanced at Zhao Fuchun and said, "I just emphasized that our technology is good and the quality is reliable. Who told you to have wild thoughts?"

"When you say that, I have to think about it!" Zhao Fuchun nodded at him and said, "I know you are very cunning and you will never suffer any loss in anything you do."

"This is a personal attack. Be careful or I'll sue you for defamation."

Li Xuewu joked and took the time to look out the window. He slid his finger on the map to determine their current location.

"The land you chose is really good. It has convenient transportation and land acquisition. It's just a little low. But you can work on the drainage system."

"We need to build a new heavy industry!"

Zhao Fuchun picked up the telescope at hand and looked into the distance, saying, "The city has approved two million yuan in construction funds. I am under a lot of pressure."

"Two million, and that's for reusing old items," Li Xuewu thought for a moment and said, "Seriously, this project really has to be given to us."

"Haha--what do you mean?"

Zhao Fuchun retracted his gaze from the telescope, looked at Li Xuewu, and asked, "Don't be so mysterious!"

"Fuck, let's talk business. Be responsible when speaking."

Li Xuewu and he are old acquaintances, so they don't have to worry too much when talking in this more relaxed occasion.

In fact, he is not the only one like this. Most of the cadres of this era are verbally foul.

Haven’t you heard that even in that kind of meeting, the big guys would always call me Gan Lin’s mother?
"How much did it cost to build a steel mill ten years ago? Two million was more than enough."

Li Xuewu stopped the car, stood up, propped his hand on the desk and pointed out the window, saying, "Rebuilding a steel mill in this environment like a land reclamation, two million? What's the joke?"

"Don't tell me about the price comparison of construction materials ten years ago and ten years later, or the advantages of the engineering companies in your city."

He pounded the factory plan on the table and said, "After deducting the cost of purchasing production equipment and transportation from the two million, how much will be left?"

"We have a rich foundation in engineering machinery operations. Even so, we can still say that we are not losing money. You guys?" Li Xuewu pretended to be disdainful and squinted at the several leaders of the city construction company following behind the carriage and snorted coldly: "Stop joking——"

"Hey! Secretary Li, you are looking down on me!"

The deputy general manager of the Municipal Third Construction Company was unwilling to accept this. He stood up and frowned, saying, "The Red Star Factory engineering team has only been established for a few days. Even if they have engineering machinery, can they have more than our Municipal Construction Company?"

"That's it..." Someone else said in dissatisfaction, "You're not afraid of biting your tongue when you speak so loudly."

"That's right, Secretary Li's tone is too arrogant and he doesn't take us seriously at all!"

……

The mood in the carriage was very excited, but Zhao Fuchun smiled and did not try to stop them. He just watched how Li Xuewu responded.

Li Xuewu ignored the barking of the dogs, patted the driver's seat calmly, signaling him to drive, and sat back in his seat.

"Although our factory's engineering and construction branch started late and was just established, we are lucky that companies are willing to cooperate with us one after another."

He said calmly: "It is not convenient to talk about the specific content of the cooperation, but I can still share the general situation with you."

"Red Star Factory and Santaya Group have signed a framework cooperation agreement. In the future, the two sides will carry out in-depth cooperation in the field of engineering construction, one of which is construction machinery."

"Don't worry, it's not much—"

Li Xuewu stretched out his right hand, slapped it and said, "About 500 construction machines will be delivered to the Red Star Construction Branch before the end of this year."

"It doesn't matter, we'll compete then."

Compare? This is a comparison of Jiba!
So you can't afford it so you look for foreign aid, right? It's great to have money and connections!

The car suddenly became quiet because of Li Xuewu's slap. Only the sound of the car and those unwilling eyes were left. They wanted to give Li Xuewu a beating.

"It seems like you guys really made it."

Zhao Fuchun sat down with emotion, looked at the plan on the table and said, "Now that I think about it, I really regret supporting your factory's upgrade."

"It doesn't matter. We will still be upstream and downstream production chain relationships within the system and take care of each other," Li Xuewu said with a smile. "If you need anything, just tell us. We are all brothers."

What was mentioned as a threat before is now the real threat.

Will you give the engineering construction project?

If you don’t give it to us, you can take it yourself!
-

“This drugstore is not very good.”

Zhou Miaomiao followed Li Xuewu's footsteps and looked around the quaint pharmacy.

When the two came out, they looked at the changed sign above their heads in confusion, frowned and said, "Victory Pharmacy, is it still a century-old store?"

“That—” The person in charge of the pharmacy was also embarrassed, and explained softly: “Our store is indeed a century-old store, but the name has been changed.”

Zhou Miaomiao looked at the pharmacy manager in confusion and asked, "What was its original name?"

"Baicaotang has a history of more than 500 years," the pharmacy manager said in a low voice, "It was not until later that a public-private contract was signed, and then..."

He pointed to the signboard above his head and said, "It's now called Shengli Pharmacy, but the signboard is still the same. The words have been scratched out and re-engraved, but the small words below have not been scratched out, so it's just a century-old store..."

"Tsk..." Zhou Miaomiao couldn't help laughing after hearing his explanation, "I was wondering why a century-old store came to Shengli Pharmacy."

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you--" The drugstore manager was also very embarrassed, especially in front of a beauty like Zhou Miaomiao, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Li Xuewu stood on the street and looked around at the location of the pharmacy, then glanced at the upper window and the half door.

Zhou Miaomiao was very smart, and without Li Xuewu saying anything, she took the initiative to ask, "Since it's a century-old store, why is it closed?"

"This... this is a long story."

The pharmacy manager hesitated and glanced at the large car parked outside the door, then said with a guilty conscience: "The main reason is that the therapeutic effect of Chinese medicine is not as fast as that of Western medicine..."

“How long has the pharmacy been closed?”

Li Xuewu didn't want to listen to the pharmacy manager's vague words anymore, so he interrupted him and asked, "How are the workers arranged?"

"It's been almost a year," the pharmacy manager said with a bitter face, "What else can we do? We have to do what we have to do. It's not our business if the deal goes bad anyway."

"It won't delay everyone's salary..."

He said the last sentence very carefully, but with indignation.

Li Xuewu glanced at him and saw that he was lowering his head and didn't care.

Zhou Miaomiao was very curious about him and asked, "Everyone else has gone, why didn't you leave?"

She looked back at the pharmacy and said, "You've kept it so tidy and clean, waiting for the organization to reopen this pharmacy?"

"Haha," the drugstore manager laughed bitterly and said, "Stop joking. This drugstore has never reopened since ancient times."

A restaurant closed down and reopened, and people said that the owner had changed, so the food could be tried again. But this pharmacy closed down and reopened, and even if the owner had changed, would he dare to risk his own illness to test it?

"I have no choice but to come here to look after the store," the pharmacy manager sighed and said, "Everyone can be diverted, but I can't."

Without waiting for Zhou Miaomiao to ask again, he looked up at the scratched signboard and said in a dark tone, "Because this pharmacy used to belong to our family."

Zhou Miaomiao frowned and looked at him, but didn't ask any more questions, because asking further might get herself into trouble.

She turned to look at Li Xuewu, only to find that her leader had already walked towards the car.

On the way back to the factory, she secretly observed Li Xuewu for a while before she took the initiative to ask, "Leader, what do you think of him..."

"Well, it should be true."

Li Xuewu knew what Zhou Miaomiao wanted to ask. He looked out the window and said, "Chinese medicine families all have some heritage and plot."

"What about you?" Zhou Miaomiao dared to ask. Seeing that Li Xuewu was in a bad mood, she plucked up the courage to ask softly, "I heard that your ancestors were also..."

"It was a long time ago," Li Xuewu turned around and looked at her and said, "When my grandfather was alive, the family pharmacy was gone. By the time my father came of age, he was a ring doctor who walked around the streets carrying a medicine box."

"My generation is even more desolate," he said with a wry smile, "My third brother is the only one in the family who has inherited my father's legacy."

"It's hard to predict what's going on in this world," Zhou Miaomiao nodded with emotion and said, "It can be seen that the Baicaotang has been passed down for a long time."

"Well," Li Xuewu responded softly, and said, "What a pity."

"I don't think it's a pity."

Zhou Miaomiao turned around, looked at Li Xuewu behind her and said, "If our factory can acquire the pharmacy left behind by Jingcheng Industry..."

"Besides, it's not that simple."

Li Xuewu said calmly: "Zhao Fuchun is not a fool. It's easy to cheat him once, but it's hard to take advantage of him a second time."

"I have confidence in you," Zhou Miaomiao said jokingly, "As far as I know, there are quite a few Chinese medicine shops that have closed down in Beijing, and many of them have been converted into Western medicine clinics, or simply switched to other businesses."

"This time, our factory has integrated the resources of the traditional Chinese medicine industry, relying on the modern production capacity of the existing food processing plant, and has export orders from the port city."

She said confidently: "Even if we can't get too many sales outlets, with the advantages of the Chinese medicine industry planting area we have built, it is still..."

"What time is it? Are you off work?"

Li Xuewu suddenly reacted after hearing her words, raised his watch and said, "Oh, it's almost six o'clock, I'd better take you home directly."

"Don't bother, leader."

Zhou Miaomiao said embarrassedly: "I can just go back to the factory to get the bicycle and ride back."

"What's the problem? Where is your home?"

Li Xuewu reached out and patted Han Jiankun on the shoulder, saying, "Let's send Comrade Zhou Miaomiao home first. We are not in a hurry."

"Thank you, boss." Zhou Miaomiao thanked Li Xuewu first, and then politely said to Han Jiankun: "Just take me to Xidan Shopping Mall."

She turned around and smiled at Li Xuewu: "I have an appointment with a friend to go shopping. If I could take your car, I could arrive early."

"Haha, you don't have to go home and cook?"

Li Xuewu chuckled and teased her, "Be careful, Comrade Zhou Tan might get hungry and start a fight with you."

"We don't usually cook," Zhou Miaomiao explained casually, "We either eat at the factory or at a small shop near our home."

"That's great, it's good to be young."

Li Xuewu sighed and expressed envy, which made Zhou Miaomiao laugh.

"You are only a few years older than me!"

"Hahahaha—I forgot I'm still young—"

The two people in the carriage were chatting and laughing. The Volga M24 had already arrived at Xidan North Street, which was the most prosperous area in the capital at that time.

But just when the two finished their conversation and were about to say goodbye, a loud noise suddenly came from the front right and penetrated the car window.

When the three people in the car looked in the direction of the sound, they were completely stunned by the scene.
