Chapter 1283 Seize the day and night
"Hey, Wang Lu, where are you going?"

Liang Zuodong came out of his office and "coincidentally" ran into Wang Lu in the corridor. "Are you going to the Secretary-General's office?"

"That's perfect. Please take these documents over for me and ask the leader to review them. Is the Secretary General busy?"

"Okay, Deputy Director Liang."

Wang Lu was slightly stunned when she looked at the materials in her hand. She was not concerned about these materials, but the questions that Deputy Director Liang had just asked.

She responded quickly, smiling, "I just came from the General Office to write some materials. Let me ask you."

"It's okay, I just asked casually."

Liang Zuodong narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Go ahead and do your thing."

"Okay, Deputy Director Liang, I'll go over there then."

Wang Lu said politely and walked towards Li Xuewu's office with the materials in her arms. She knew without looking back that Deputy Director Liang was looking at her.

There was something wrong with the materials she was holding in her arms.

Of course, the materials were absolutely legitimate, but the person who asked her to deliver the materials was not legitimate.

Liang Zuodong is, after all, the deputy director of the commission's office. Even if these materials are urgent, there is no need for him to deliver them personally.

Just make a phone call to the General Office and the documents will be taken away. There's no need to run into her in the corridor.

Besides, even if it was a chance encounter, he wasn't very busy, so why didn't he send it over personally?

All we can say is that Deputy Director Liang has some bad intentions. His intention to send her the materials was fake, and his real intention was to find out the truth about the Secretary-General from her.

There have been a lot of things going on in the factory recently, and many of the matters that the Secretary-General has been handling recently are related to business and personnel.

Many people want to get some reliable information from the Secretary-General, but they can't find a way.

When she was chosen by the Secretary-General as his office secretary, these people felt that the secret had been revealed.

Wang Lu was both angry and amused. These people treated her like a fool and tricked her, not even bothering to cover it up.

Even though her image in the agency is a bit informal, there is no need to treat her as a heartless person.

Sometimes when Wang Lu got angry, she would act mischievously and deliberately say ambiguous words to make those people confused and make wild guesses.

She is very playful. Sometimes, even though she knows that the two people who come to inquire about the news are both trying to compete for the same position, she still says the same thing to both of them: The Secretary-General appreciates your work ability.

Well, the two of them smiled and thanked him, thinking that they had won the game since the secretary-general's secretary had said it so bluntly.

Actually?

In fact, Wang Lu knew nothing. The Secretary-General never mentioned personnel arrangements to her, nor did he deliberately talk about business arrangements. She was only responsible for data and daily work.

If she were to obtain relevant information from writing or other materials, she would be in a better position to do so.

But this information is also time-limited. It can be written down and is basically distributed within the morning after it comes out of Li Xuewu's office. He wants the whole factory to know about it. How can it be a secret?

So, those people treated her as a fool, and she also treated those people as a fool. She had a lot of fun and never got tired of it.

There have been a lot of outrageous and messy rumors circulating in the agency recently, concerning personnel and business, all kinds of things, even upside down and false. The messengers swear that the sources of the information are reliable.

Reliable? Fuck it——

A large part of these rumors were contributed by Wang Lu. Her natural cuteness made it impossible for others to judge whether her expressions were true or false, and everyone habitually took them as the truth.

Nonsense, even a fool would lie?

Haha - Wang Lu, who is a little childish in character, is very clear when it comes to lying to others and is very deceptive.

The result is that rumors are flying everywhere, everyone thinks they have the potential to be deputy director, and everyone looks like their competitor.

Well, Deputy Director Liang has also come to join in the fun. Perhaps she heard something. When she knocked on the door and entered the office, Director Bu Qingfang of the Propaganda Department was talking about work with the Secretary-General.

From this point of view, Deputy Director Liang should be worried about Director Bu.

What are you worried about?
What else could it be? A seat.

The commission's office now has three leaders, one director and two deputy directors. According to the staffing, it is still short of a deputy director.

According to the group's corporate management structure that has been made public, the director of the General Management Department, who is under the management of the Secretary-General, should serve part-time as the Deputy Secretary-General, and the deputy director will serve part-time as the director of each working group office.

In other words, in the process of groupization of Red Star Factory, Li Xuewu will sooner or later step down from the position of director of the Management Committee Office.

By that time, whoever takes over as director of the Management Committee Office will be able to go a step further and concurrently serve as deputy secretary-general.

Looking at the current Management Committee Office, Deputy Director Liang has no rivals.

Bai Changshan will be transferred when the Beijing New No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill is established in the second half of next year. He was originally a cadre in training.

But there was a rumor that in order to avoid leaving, Bu Qingfang planned to work for one term in the commission's office and serve as Li Xuewu's deputy.

This scared Deputy Director Liang. If Bu Qingfang really came to the Management Committee Office, he would have no chance of winning the competition.

Bu Qingfang has been in charge of propaganda work for many years and is a senior director. If she is really willing to serve as deputy secretary-general for a term, then he can only admit defeat and surrender, and he will have no chance of winning.
-

"I was thinking about talking to the leader about you after the handover from the security team."

When Li Xuewu saw Wang Lu come into the room, he just nodded and turned his attention to Bu Qingfang who was sitting on the sofa.

Bu Qingfang didn't notice Wang Lu either. She frowned slightly and asked, "Do you have a candidate in mind?"

Seeing that Li Xuewu picked up the teacup and did not answer her question, she nodded in understanding and said, "That's the candidate the leader has chosen."

"Don't make random guesses," Li Xuewu took a sip of warm tea, put down the cup and said, "The reason why I didn't consider you is that you have been working in a publicity position for a long time and lack the necessary business management qualifications and abilities."

"And..." He looked at Bu Qingfang and said seriously, "The leader also wants you to stay in the agency."

"After all, the proportion of female comrades among the middle-level cadres in our factory is still relatively small, so you don't have to go to the branch office."

"That depends on the situation."

Bu Qingfang said somewhat depressedly: "If I had known that our factory was going to set up an energy branch, I would have made preparations long ago."

"You can't blame me for this," Li Xuewu heard the hidden meaning in her words. She was blaming him for not informing her in advance. "You told me that you wanted to come to the management committee."

"It's a different time now—"

Bu Qingfang knew that Li Xuewu was not to blame, but she still sighed, picked up the teacup and said, "This opportunity is really good, especially after listening to your introduction, I want to go even more. I have to give myself a chance to fight for it."

"Is it impossible to fight hard in the government?"

Li Xuewu looked at her and saw that she wanted to say more, so he waved his hand and spoke before her: "Our factory does not hold too many shares in the newly formed energy company, but it is involved in a lot."

"Do you not trust my ability, or does the leader not trust me, Bu Qingfang?"

Bu Qingfang was a little excited, frowning and saying, "Working in the propaganda department for many years is not an achievement, but a shackle that restricts my development?"

"If that's the case, then no one needs to be assessed on their comprehensive management abilities, and everyone can just go their own way."

"Haha, no one said you can't."

Li Xuewu chuckled and lowered his eyes. He waved his hand, signaling Wang Lu to refill the tea. "No one said you can only do publicity."

"I am not commenting on the leader's decision, nor am I delivering a message for anyone. Since you found me today, I will tell you the truth."

He patted the armrest of the sofa and said, "It involves thermal energy, petrochemicals, electricity, coal, nonferrous metals, and rare metals."

"We need to build professional factories and mines in Liaodong, and also build a sales network in the joint industrial zone, extending downward to water supply, gas stations, gas stations and other industry channels."

Li Xuewu's tone gradually became serious. "I just mentioned to you that there are five capital investors involved, United Savings Bank, Oriental Times Bank, Dongcheng Credit Union, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and China Construction Bank. The shareholding situation is complicated."

"This includes the metallurgical plants involved in industrial construction and development, Jingcheng Chemical, Fengcheng Refining and Chemical, Liaodong Coal, and the Santaya Group involved in commercial and technological development. It won't work if you only represent our plant to participate in the organization, management and operation. This is a big deal."

He gestured with his hand, "This is different from the joint industry and the tertiary industry. This is an experiment in the field of new industrial development of our factory. Do you think you can withstand this pressure?"

“In a stock-based management system, you don’t need to be the top leader, but the general manager who does the work.”

Li Xuewu picked up the teacup and took a sip, giving the other party some time to think. He continued only after Bu Qingfang fell silent.

"With so much capital involved in the investment and so many technology and industrial stocks involved in the construction, just imagine how many mothers-in-law you have?"

He raised his eyebrows and said, "The leaders hesitated for a long time in selecting a suitable person to lead the energy company."

"The management committee has thought of almost everything that can be done in the agency and the branch, including you, of course."

Bu Qingfang had calmed down by now. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and listened to Li Xuewu in silence.

"There must be a reason why I don't use you," Li Xuewu looked at her and said, "I admit that you have a work attitude, but as a comrade, I still have to remind you to do things within your ability."

“I don’t have to go to an energy company.”

Bu Qingfang let out a long sigh, looked at the teacup in his hand and said, "It's just that the opportunity is right in front of us, so we have to fight for it."

“That depends on whether it’s appropriate or not.”

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I'm not afraid of you spreading the news. I can tell you right now who the leaders have chosen to take on this important task, but what does it mean to you?"

"I told you at the beginning of our conversation that you were willing to come to the Commission Office to work with me, so I considered talking to the leaders about you at the right time."

"Yes, I appreciate your kindness—"

Bu Qingfang figured out what was going on, and said with a somewhat embarrassed tone: "The next step is too important to me. I can't compare to you. I don't have many choices."

"What kind of talk is that?" Li Xuewu looked at her with amusement and said, "Do you need me to tell you something? Which team can be without female comrades? Just look at Deputy Director Gu, Deputy Director Jing and Deputy Director Gao. Our Director Li is very particular about democracy."

"So according to what you said, I am just making up the numbers?"

Bu Qingfang's face was now friendly. He looked up at him and asked, "Why don't you tell me who will go to the energy company? I really can't think of anyone more suitable than me."

"Comrade Qingfang, please be modest—"

Li Xuewu picked up the teacup and opened the lid and said, "Our factory management committee is a collective leadership, and the selection and employment of personnel is also a collective decision. The collective wisdom is not decided by anyone."

It was obvious that Bu Qingfang really wanted to know who it was, so he smiled and gave the answer, "It's Ji Jiuzheng from the Technical Department."

"So it was him—" Bu Qingfang was slightly stunned when she heard the answer, then raised her eyebrows and said, "I thought you were going to use Old Ding, but I didn't expect you to really choose such a well-behaved daughter-in-law."

"Hey, you can talk and make a fuss, but you can't joke behind her back," Li Xuewu looked at her and reminded her, "The relevant organizational procedures are being carried out, so don't spread the news in advance."

"I know. Do I need you to remind me of this?"

Bu Qingfang was still digesting the news that Ji Jiuzheng was going to pick up the energy company. He was stunned for a while before nodding and saying, "Indeed, in terms of organizational and coordination skills, Old Ji is better than me."

"Let's not talk about that," Li Xuewu glanced at her and said, "Let's talk about the Art Propaganda Team."

"Why do I hear people say that the propaganda team's quota is clearly marked with a price tag, and they can just come in with 1,500 yuan to make up the numbers?"

He reminded in a slightly serious tone: "The Personnel Department gave the green light to the Propaganda Team, but it did not give the green light to certain people."

"If there really is a joke of being a shady person, it won't just be you, Bu Qingfang, who will lose face. If the leader blames me, even I, the secretary-general, will lose face."

"Yes, I will investigate this situation carefully when I come down. If there are really people who are so bold and reckless, I will never tolerate them."

Bu Qingfang knew that after Li Xuewu comforted her, he would definitely give her a beating to clear her mind.

But this blow did not hit the brain, but the face.

The Red Star Factory's employee recruitment channels have long been frozen, and the Personnel Department will only recruit students who have been admitted to the United Industrial School in the future.

Among the limited channels that are still retained, in addition to demobilization, retirement placement, introduction of special talents, and special care for children of employees who have made significant contributions to the Red Star Factory, only the art and cultural propaganda team that Director Li pays more attention to has some indicators.

This is the green light given by Director Li. It is to facilitate the rapid growth and development of the art propaganda team, to reduce the concerns of outstanding artistic talents in joining the Red Star Factory, and it is also a trust.

Now the news of the buying and selling indicators has reached Li Xuewu's ears, and the specific amount has even been called out. How can this be tolerated?
To put it simply, there were pests in the Propaganda Department under her management, which was a management responsibility. To put it more seriously, she had betrayed the trust of her superiors.

If the leaders really dislike us, our literary and artistic propaganda work will inevitably be questioned and suspected in the factory in the future.

When watching the performances on the stands, I would wonder in my heart whether the propaganda team has any idle people. This is also a disservice to people who are truly talented.

Therefore, this matter must be handled seriously.
-

At the end of April, the spring breeze blows along the willow banks and the flowers bloom.

The Liangma River channel widening project, which lasted for a year and a half, has been officially completed.

The project includes the section of the river where the Liangmahe Industrial Zone is located. The main line is behind the newly built office building, which is the area where the riverside dock is located, and serves as a barrier to the industrial zone.

The industrial zone also includes two branches, one of which is on the outside of the tertiary industry and serves as the boundary line of the industrial zone.

The other one separates the residential area and commercial area in the industrial zone, and is a landscape water system that the industrial zone focuses on building.

Along both sides of the river in the district, there are facilities for entertainment and leisure for employees and their families. On one side is a commercial area with a rich variety of services, and on the other side is a residential area with a park environment, which is very beautiful.

On April 4, Xue Zhifu and Li Xuewu led a team to inspect the site after the river widening project was completed.

The two of them walked on the flat dike road, looking at the green and dark river water that was bottomless, feeling the spring breeze, and feeling very comfortable.

"The flood season is coming. Once the spring rain comes, the river will be fuller," Xue Zhifu was in a good mood. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the wide river between the riverbanks on both sides, and said, "Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone, the word 'ecological' is finally worthy of its name."

"Haha, you still care too much."

Li Xuewu chuckled and kicked the curbs on both sides of the road to see the quality of the construction.

Wei Congguang, director of the Engineering Department, and Lang Zhennan, general manager of the Red Star United Construction Company, which was undergoing restructuring, saw the secretary-general's actions and their eyelids twitched.

The Secretary-General, who has no experience in construction work and management, pays special attention to construction safety and building quality.

Needless to say, during the construction phase, vehicles from the fire brigade and the inspection brigade often come to the site for investigation. If anything is unqualified, it must be dealt with, and in serious cases, the person in charge may even be punished.

Since the day that Red Star Factory decided to build the Liangmahe Industrial Zone, countless cadres in engineering-related fields have been punished.

It's not all management responsibility, there are also violations of rules and regulations. Many people have been choked to death by this piece of fat meat.

Lang Zhennan previously served as the director of the Engineering Department, and Wei Congguang was also a veteran of the Engineering Department. He knew Li Xuewu's temper very well, so during the repeated investigations and handling processes, there were almost no cases of him being punished, and if there were, it was only joint management responsibility.

There is a factory leader who dares to smash the wall with a sledgehammer during the acceptance process. Even if they want to cut corners, they are afraid that their heads are too strong. The secretary-general is about to resign from the security team, but he still carries a gun.

“How is the drainage system done?”

Li Xuewu stood beside the drainage outlet on the side of the road, raised his head and asked the cadres behind him, "Have you done anything to prevent backflow?"

"Don't worry, we have taken this situation into consideration."

Lang Zhennan took the initiative to answer the question, “All drainage ditches and pipes have been treated to prevent backflow.”

"At the same time, considering that there will be garbage filling during daily use, the drainage pipes have also been made thicker to facilitate sewage discharge."

"We wanted to build a dual system for road drainage, but later we thought it was too costly and unnecessary," Wei Congguang explained. "The Liangma River itself is the primary reservoir, and the industrial and non-drinking water in the factory area needs to be treated secondary, so we didn't build an independent sewage system."

"Well, the eco-industrial zone is not an eco-park," Li Xuewu nodded and said, "nor is it an eco-protection zone."

"Necessary ecological management and sustainable integrated environmental management are aimed at creating harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, and between industry and nature, rather than wasteful and metaphysical engineering projects."

"We have carefully understood the intention of the factory management committee on this point," Lang Zhennan smiled and glanced at Wei Congguang, raised his hand and pointed to the front and introduced: "In addition to the trees on both sides of the road, we also built a park greening landscape."

"The design team took great pains to find garden plants suitable for growing in the north."

Wei Congguang introduced with a smile: "The most elaborate work is the unfinished East Red Square and the statue in front."

Li Xuewu raised his head as the two men gestured and looked ahead. Next to the riverside pier was a construction site.

There are no fences these days. As far as Li Xuewu can see, most of the park's landscape has taken shape. The main things under construction are the statues, as well as the planting and final trimming of the landscaping.

"In the Liangmahe Industrial Zone, walk along the main river and you will reach the residential area," Lang Zhennan introduced. "Once the residential and commercial areas are built next year, and the office area and government residential area are completed, this place will definitely be more beautiful."

“How long will it take for the square and the statue to be completed?”

Li Xuewu and Xue Zhifu walked out of the park together. Looking at the tall half-statue, they stopped at the same time.

Until the 1980s and 1990s, such statues remained iconic buildings in this land.

Not until the economy develops, people become more active, and everything is focused on economic work, will people start to see it as a nuisance.

There are not many cities that still preserve such statues. There is one in Fengcheng. It is shocking when viewed from a distance, and even more awe-inspiring when you approach it, filling your heart with worship and awe.

“It will probably take until September.”

Wei Congguang glanced at Lang Zhennan and took the initiative to report: "The main reason is that the construction period of the park must be arranged after the embankment reinforcement, and the construction period of the statue must be slightly later than the construction period of the park, so..."

"Don't worry, I don't mean to rush you." Li Xuewu put his hands behind his back, raised his head to look at the statue, then looked at the nearby scenery, and asked, "Are there any employees coming to visit?"

"Due to some site restrictions, it has not yet been opened to the public, but some employees have come to visit and have fun."

Wei Congguang reported: "We have also issued safety reminders for the construction area and posted safety officers in some dangerous areas."

"In the future, the management and maintenance of this place will be handed over to the labor service company. We have not made any relevant management systems. We will have to wait until they take over before we can carry out publicity and management."

"Feng Xingke also has a bump on his forehead now."

When Xue Zhifu heard Wei Congguang mention the labor service company, he looked at Li Xuewu and said with a smile, "You complain every day about not having enough staff."

"Haha, no matter how many people he gives him, it won't be enough."

Li Xuewu and the others walked to a riverside viewing platform, leaned against the railing, snorted and said with a smile: "But as the chief steward, I also understand the difficulties of the chief steward of the labor service company--"

"The Labor Service Company is in a difficult position. How can it not be difficult to handle everything?" Xue Zhifu also stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, and said, "In the beginning, I was against setting up a separate branch company for the service department. Each unit has its own situation. How can we manage the service?"

"We still need to look at the problem dialectically. Services are not managed by people, but by systems."

Li Xuewu looked at the water birds playing on the river bank. The scenery was pleasant and his mood improved a lot.

"Red Star Factory is no longer a factory-level unit. As it has grown in size, the form of people managing people has become outdated."

He said bluntly: "In a big forest, there are all kinds of birds. We must formulate strict production and work systems to constrain and regulate the huge employee system. Only in this way can we form long-term combat effectiveness. Enthusiasm alone will not do."

"What I said may be a little subjective, but I will never use work to test human nature, and I will never rely on human nature to judge whether a cadre is good or bad. I want to see his actual work."

"Don't mind me saying this—"

Li Xuewu turned his head and looked at the cadres who were accompanying him, and used a joke to ease the somewhat stiff atmosphere he had created on the scene.

Everyone chuckled out of courtesy, but no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

Although Li Huaide never said it explicitly, nor did he mention on any occasion that he wanted to train Li Xuewu to be his successor.

However, almost everyone in the factory has reached a consensus that Li Xuewu will inevitably become the helmsman and flag bearer of the Red Star Factory in the future.

It’s not about how strong his background is, nor how much Li Huaide thinks of him, but about his abilities and achievements.

Li Xuewu's virtue has now been revealed, at least everyone knows his standards for selecting and employing people.

Xue Zhifu didn't pay attention to his words. He nodded slightly, looked at him and asked, "Did Comrade Qingfang look for you?"

"Haha, we are old friends."

Li Xuewu chuckled and said: "We help and learn from each other at work, and trust and support each other in life."

When everyone heard what he said, they couldn't help but reveal a look of understanding on their faces.

We can help and learn from each other at work, but there is no trust and support. Conversely, in life, there is less closeness of help and learning, but there is trust and support. This is said intentionally inversely.

Xue Zhifu also chuckled, nodded, and said, "Selecting and employing people is a science and a skill."

"I think Director Li's support for you to be in charge of engineering construction business is very insightful," Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and joked, "You have been in charge of supervision for so many years, so you are also good at engineering."

“Hahahaha—” Xue Zhifu smiled and looked into the distance, his back unconsciously straightening a little. “To be honest, managing projects and visiting construction sites, I feel more fulfilled than before.”

"It's sunny and happy now."

He gestured to the sky and said with a smile: "Sometimes, dealing with bricks, tiles and soil is simpler than managing people's hearts and minds, and it can provide more emotional value."

"Then what do you mean-"

Li Xuewu teased him with amusement, "Are all the comrades in our factory people with unpredictable minds?"

"Hahaha--"
-

"Secretary General, this is too formal."

On the morning of April 4, Li Xuewu led a team to conduct research at the Red Star United Savings Bank, observed the daily work of the savings office, held a symposium, and listened to work reports from the bank's main leaders.

On April 4, Xie Lanzhi, President of Red Star United Savings Bank, received a notice of an interview from the Management Committee Office.

The venue for the meeting was chosen to be the small conference room on the third floor of the main office building of the Red Star Factory, where the leadership team meetings were usually held.

Although it was Xie Lanzhi who handled the procedures for Li Xuewu when he joined the company, she became his guide into the workplace.

At that time, Xie Lanzhi was already the deputy chief of the Personnel Department, and Li Xuewu was just a young man who had just changed his career.

A lot of changes happened in three years. With the help of Li Xuewu, she became the president of Red Star United Savings Bank.

Li Xuewu rose rapidly to become the secretary-general of the factory management committee and a full-fledged factory leader.

So, even though Li Xuewu called her "big sister" in private, even though there was a relationship with Dong Wenxue, and even though Li Xuewu had a very good relationship with her lover, at work, in the unit, she and Li Xuewu had always addressed each other by title, and now she was called Secretary General.

"I'm here to talk to you about serious matters, so it has to be formal."

Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hand, indicating that they should sit down. This time, not only Xie Lanzhi was called, but also other senior executives of the United Savings Bank.

He also interviewed the senior executives on behalf of the Management Committee to discuss the problems discovered during the recent joint investigation and inspection by the supervisory and financial departments, as well as the new requirements put forward by the Management Committee for the United Savings Bank in the new development period.

Speaking of the matter, although Li Xuewu has a good personal relationship with Sister Xie, they also have a tacit understanding at work.

However, work is work, and his going down to conduct research was already a reminder, and the interview was also planned long ago.

As soon as both sides sat down in the meeting room, the atmosphere became serious and tense. Li Xuewu made a brief opening speech. The two section chiefs of discipline inspection and finance respectively reported on the problems found during the investigation and inspection, and also raised questions about some service issues.

Secretary General Li Xuewu represented the factory management committee in interviewing them. In fact, it was a form of protection for them by the management committee, but it also served as a warning to them, so the attitude was particularly serious.

Li Xuewu gave instructions and requirements to several bank executives on financial, security and service issues raised by the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Finance Department.

During the interview, he pointed out that financial work concerns the vital interests and property security of the vast majority of workers.

A series of problems revealed by the disciplinary supervision and financial investigations have exposed the failure to effectively implement the main responsibilities of the United Savings Bank, the failure of relevant managers to fulfill their management responsibilities, shortcomings and loopholes in financial and financial services, and security management. These problems have attracted widespread attention at relevant levels and seriously affected the financial security of employees.

During the interview, Li Xuewu demanded that United Savings Bank, as the investment and financial management entity of Red Star Steel Group, should improve its political stance, deeply understand the importance of financial management, and effectively enhance its sense of responsibility, urgency and mission; it should actively and prudently handle the issues raised in this investigation, thoroughly investigate and severely punish illegal and irregular behaviors, and seriously investigate the responsibilities of relevant responsible units and individuals; it should deeply learn the lessons of related issues, and take this as an opportunity to focus on improving the level of financial supervision, security and service management, and effectively protect the property safety of employees and the masses.

Li Xuewu also pointed out at the end that the Management Committee Office, together with the Disciplinary Supervision and Finance departments, will form a working group to move into the United Savings Bank to inspect and supervise the implementation of the rectification work of the United Savings Bank.

At the meeting, Xie Lanzhi, President of the United Savings Bank, made a self-examination and statement, and expressed gratitude for the opinions and suggestions put forward by the supervisory and financial departments. She said that she would accept them humbly and make immediate corrections.

After the meeting, Xie Lanzhi followed Li Xuewu to his office with a bitter smile in her eyes.

"Secretary General, this blow is really ruthless."

"If you don't act tougher, your leader will be worried."

Li Xuewu waved his hand, motioning her to sit down, and asked Wang Lu to make tea for her.

"After industrial and personnel changes, the group will usher in economic changes," he said seriously, sitting on the sofa. "A large number of branches and subsidiaries will be pushed to the forefront of joint operations to meet the test of the market and the times."

"As the faucet of the group's economy, the economic lifeline of the entire group depends on your United Savings Bank!"

He tapped the armrest of the sofa and emphasized, "No matter how high or strict the group's requirements for you are, they are never excessive."

"Especially compliance operations, which is the foundation and bottom line for ensuring the purity of the group's financial and economic dealings."

Li Xuewu spread out his hands and said, "Why did we go to great lengths to find a solution and spend so much effort to buy advanced computers for you to use? This is why the factory management committee attaches great importance to financial management."

"I understand what you mean."

Xie Lanzhi nodded. She naturally understood the seriousness and key of the problem that Li Xuewu emphasized.

The Red Star Factory purchased a set of computers, IBM 360, from abroad to assist in the economic management of the United Savings Bank.

Another bank that uses this computer management system is the Oriental Times Bank in Hong Kong.

Not as luxurious as the Oriental Times Bank, this computer also helps the research institute to carry out scientific research and numerical control research.

The aircraft research team had been looking forward to this computer for a long time, but the computer was placed in the bank equipment by the factory.

"I have another suggestion that you may want to consider."

Li Xuewu certainly trusts Xie Lanzhi and believes that she can handle the problems that arise during the development process.

"You may not know that a family member of a worker in our factory used his savings to buy a cargo tricycle produced by our factory. With this tricycle, the family started to run urban transportation at the freight station that our factory cooperated with Beijing Railway Station."

"I seem to have heard of this." Xie Lanzhi nodded, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "What do you mean--"

"The tricycle carries not only the hope of a family, but also the direction of solving the employment problem for the children of factory workers."

Li Xuewu looked at her and said, "Tricycles are the products of Red Star Factory, and freight stations are the business of Red Star Factory. Even now, more and more people are involved in the freight transportation industry, and most of them are family members of our factory employees."

"Shouldn't this spontaneous action of self-reliance and hard work be recognized and supported at the group level?"

He nodded slowly and said, "I have already reported this matter to Director Li, and have also communicated with Deputy Directors Tong Jing, Gu, and Gao. They are also optimistic and supportive of this situation."

"I hope that the United Savings Bank can also come up with some practical measures to support the families of employees to be self-reliant and find their own way out. They should not just focus on getting a job in a factory, but create value through their labor within the policy scope."

"I understand what you mean," Xie Lanzhi looked at him and asked, "What are the specific requirements and measures?"

She frowned slightly and asked, "Is the scope of support limited to factory employees, or can all customers of United Bank enjoy the corresponding treatment?"

"The leaders' opinion is to solve the survival and living problems of the factory workers first, but there is no need to block the way for others."

Li Xuewu paused and said, "The United Savings Bank is the agent for the payment of employees' wages. It can rely on the employees' wages or related assets as collateral to provide loans to the families of these employees to purchase transportation vehicles for the corresponding labor, collect a certain amount of interest, and also stimulate the economy."

"But I also want to emphasize that the loans from the United Savings Bank must be used for specific purposes and cannot be used by employees," he said seriously. "I will communicate with the sales department to directly transfer the loans to the sales account and arrange for the employees' families to pick up the cars directly."

"With the employee salary accounts and transport vehicles as collateral, the bad debt rate of the loan business will definitely not be high, but the interest will be guaranteed to be very high, which is the advantage of our factory."

He spread his hands and said: "This is a policy that benefits all employees and is also an attempt to solve the employment problem of employees' families."

"Next, we will see the results of your actions and the actual work results of the sales office and freight station. After evaluating the comprehensive results, the group will also introduce other policies and measures to solve such problems and help factory employees solve the problem of difficulty in finding employment for their children."

"That's a good suggestion—"

Xie Lanzhi nodded and said, "Just like you said, with the salary account and transportation vehicles as collateral, there is no problem on our side. We will just deduct the loan installments and interest on a monthly basis."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "We still need to take into account the actual difficulties faced by individual employees. The form of the loan should be people-oriented as much as possible and benefit all employees."

"Okay, I've got that," Xie Lanzhi had been taking notes. She looked up and asked, "Can loans or installment loans only be used to purchase transport vehicles?"

"In June, the housing application for the first batch of workers' villages in the factory will begin. We are studying the housing loans and housing replacement and repair loans open to employees."

She tapped her notebook and continued, "Similarly, some employees are willing to buy motorcycles, especially young employees. If they don't have a certain amount of savings, can we open up loan restrictions on them to promote loan sales of factory-related vehicles and enrich the types of loans offered by the United Savings Bank?"

"I think there is no problem," Li Xuewu thought for a moment and said, "You should come up with a plan as soon as possible. I will communicate with Deputy Director Gao and Deputy Director Jing, and then report to Director Li. Finally, we will bring it to the Management Committee to form a resolution and implement it."

"Then there's no problem on my end."

Xie Lanzhi stood up and said with a smile: "We will report the rectification of the problem to the Management Committee as soon as possible, and we will also make a loan plan as soon as possible and submit it to you for review."

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

Li Xuewu stood up and shook her hand, saying, "The road ahead is long and arduous, so we must work hard and seize every minute."
