Siheyuan diet for men and women

Chapter 932 Frontier Characteristics
The train arrived at Wucheng Station on the last day of November, which was the evening of the 30th.

It was not actually dark yet. Jin Yaohui, wrapped in a thick fur coat, moved his fat body and greeted Li Huaide's dark face with a guilty smile.

It wasn't that the car that came to pick them up was bad, nor that there were few people who came to pick them up. Li Xuewu didn't understand the reason until he returned to the office and picked up the wine glass.

Jin Yaohui originally wanted to liven up the atmosphere, so he took the initiative to ask Wang Zongli about the leader's schedule.

Of course Wang Zongli knew that Jin Yaohui was Li Huaide's man, and she replied with a smile: If nothing unexpected happens, the leader will leave for Beijing next Saturday.

Today is Sunday, which means that Li Huaide and his team will stay in the border for nearly a week.

The director of the factory management committee and the top leader actually had to stay in the frontier office for a week. Jin Yaohui broke out in a cold sweat.

Jin Yaohui is the director of the frontier office and Li Huaide's former secretary, but he didn't even know his leader's itinerary.

Wang Zongli looked at Li Huaide meaningfully, sipped the wine in her glass and said nothing.

The food tonight was exceptionally good. There were several meat dishes on the table, all of which were relatively precious beef and mutton.

This meat is of course precious in the capital, but it is not difficult to get in the border areas.

Especially the border offices, which are responsible for the import and export trade business, how could they be short of meat to eat?

Since the frontier office was established and started operating in March, in the past year or so, Jin Yaohui has completely cured his stomach loss disease.

He used to be a skinny penman, but now he looks like a fat country rich man.

Especially when paired with his fur coat and fur hat, the image is perfect.

Seeing that he was chatting happily with Wang Zongli, Li Huaide took a sip of the wine, pointed at the wine glass, and didn't ask him to refill it.

Jin Yaohui's face froze and he looked at the wine jug in his hand, suspecting that the wine he had prepared was not good and did not suit his leader's taste.

He knew that it was Li Xuewu who always prepared wine for the leaders at the steel mill.

I heard that it's the best wine, so it's normal that you can't get used to it.

"The office's business is in a mess, but you've become fat and powerful."

Li Huaide's eyebrows were raised, and he was obviously really angry. He didn't even eat a bite of food, but he started to curse.

Everyone at the table put down their chopsticks and listened to his instructions.

The table next door was not affected. Ding Wanqiu knew it was none of his business, so he held the lamb leg and chewed it hard.

During the few months in Jicheng, he developed a problem of liver fat deficiency, and he must replenish it when he gets the chance.

Dachun and Zhao Laowu were both careless. They didn't understand what their leader said and just kept eating.

Only Xiao Jianjun understood, but it had nothing to do with him. He was still lamenting that people are different. When he came to the border, there was no such food.

Looking at the table full of food and wine, he had no intention of listening to what was said at the next table. Seeing that the three people were eating happily, he stopped pretending and only picked the meat dishes to eat.

The food here was in a mess, while the people at the main table looked like they were eating ice cubes.

Especially Jin Yaohui, his face turned red, he sat there timidly, not daring to say a word.

After listening to Li Huaide's chattering, Li Xuewu basically understood what was going on.

The border offices basically did not carry out any large-scale learning activities, people’s minds were scattered, their thoughts were lazy, and they were a group of loose sand.

The office's new business volume stagnated and even declined. It was worse than the capital and Gangcheng, and even worse than Yuezhou which was opened later.

There were prominent contradictions in personnel issues, and problems were constantly reported to the factory and even landed on Xue Zhifu's desk.

When the disciplinary and supervisory departments were split and merged, these issues that had been suppressed by Xue Zhifu were directly fed back to Li Huaide.

Among these questions, there were even some questions about women that made Li Huaide blush.

Finally, his handling of local relations was extremely unsatisfactory. Various related units in the border areas expressed their disgust and resistance to his work more than once, saying that he did not know how to behave and did not know how to do things.

He was very aware of these problems, as they had been reported before, but he had not thought of taking care of them.

Li Xuewu is definitely not inferior to others in business, he really wants to make a difference, but business ability is never isolated in an individual.

No matter how good your business skills are, you won’t be able to fully utilize them if you don’t know how to manage working relationships.

When Jin Yaohui's problems were constantly fed back to him, he was not the responsible leader, so the relevant issues were directly suppressed or transferred to the relevant departments.

Seeing that there was no movement from the disciplinary inspection department, Li Xuewu would not cause trouble for Li Huaide.

The important thing is, there is no need to affect the relationship between the two people for such a thing.

Just like Jin Yaohui did his job, Li Xuewu knew that there would be a day when Li Huaide could no longer tolerate him.

Xue Zhifu was even more thorough. He waited until the disciplinary supervision department was dismantled before exposing Jin Yaohui's problems.

Li Xuewu did not expect that these problems would be known by Li Huaide, and that he would come to the border specifically to deal with them.

It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Jin Yaohui's work and he put on a cold face as soon as he got off the train.

Although it was brought up at the dinner table, giving Jin Yaohui face and protection, it was still a criticism after all.

Judging from Jin Yaohui's performance in the past few months, he is too loyal but lacks ability, is greedy and lustful, and has no bottom line.

This kind of working mindset was probably learned from Li Huaide. After all, having been a secretary for so many years, it was inevitable that he would be influenced by her.

However, Jin Yaohui only learned half of the Corgi, not the whole thing.

Li Huaide plays for fun, but he also does serious work.

Even though he was not good at the business, he knew how to use people and management to make up for his shortcomings.

He is also very conservative when it comes to greed and fun, and no one has caught him doing anything wrong yet.

Even if it's just Liu Lan, he's still an idiot. Anyone can be his master, so it's no big deal at all.

And what about Jin Yaohui?

There was no telling how many letters of complaint there were, and later on, some of them were directly sent to Li Huaide along with the evidence.

It doesn’t matter if you are a little greedy or lustful. Li Huaide doesn’t care, as long as you have the ability to work.

But Jin Yaohui is different. He has no ability at work and specializes in doing dirty work.

You can say he is loyal, but his thinking is extremely rigid. He will never carry out anything that Li Huaide doesn't agree to. How can he do his job well?

Secretary work can be done this way, the boss likes it very much, but they are sent out to be managers, so that you can do drastic work, you are playing petty? !

The cadres at the border are all tough guys. They come from thousands of miles away to carry out construction, and you are dealing with them with a caliper?

Even if the frontier office has a communications radio station, everything has to be reported and all work has to wait for approval from the leaders. Who would wait here with you?

For more than half a year, Li Huaide felt as if he was the director of a frontier office.

At first he didn't think there was a problem, but later when the management committee was established, more things to do increased and he was too busy to handle them all.

He is busy, but that does not mean he has ignored things. However, things have been prioritized.

Jin Yaohui, on the other hand, reports everything, and Li Haiyang often puts his matters at the back when making reports.

Therefore, the efficiency of the border office became lower and lower, and finally it started to live off its past capital.

Basically, no business has been developed. All of them are trade projects that the steel mill actively requested and delivered.

Li Huaide had made arrangements in the capital and deliberately chose the border area just to see how Jin Yaohui did his work.

Well, he got angry as soon as they met. After becoming the director of the factory management committee, he lost more than ten kilograms, and Jin Yaohui gained more than thirty or forty kilograms!

Gan Lin's mother, I have been suffering for you in the capital, while you have been raising fat pigs here!

Jin Yaohui felt very aggrieved after being scolded and complained about it at the dinner table.

On the one hand, local people have a stubborn mentality of self-protection, and it is quite difficult to deal with farm and ranch officials.

Second, the office lacks authority and many problems cannot be solved immediately.

Third, the pressure of personnel management is great. For a small office, there are three or four sources of personnel.

Finally, there was a large gap in funding management, and Li Xuewu was blamed for this.

Since the establishment of the Office of the Leading Group for Economic and Trade, Li Xuewu has been in charge of trade management and has begun to tighten fiscal policy.

In particular, they began to trace back the past accounts, which forced the timid Jin Yaohui to hurriedly use the existing activity funds to fill the previous holes.

The first half of the year was tight on food, and the second half of the year was tight on food, this is what Jin Yaohui is all about.

Li Xuewu said nothing when he heard this, nor did he look at Li Huaide. He just picked up a big mouthful of beef with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

It smells so good!
It’s no wonder those idiots behind me made a lot of noise while eating. The cook in this frontier office is pretty good.

Otherwise, why do we say follow the roots? What kind of person is Li Huaide, and what kind of person is Jin Yaohui.

When Li Huaide heard Jin Yaohui blaming Li Xuewu, he was so angry that he almost overturned the table on the spot.

When he saw Jin Yaohui again, he cried and talked about how overbearing the cadres on the border were, how cruel the leaders of the farm were, and how difficult it was for him, an honest and decent man, to cope with it. He felt very tired.

This guy is totally hopeless!
The fundamental problem of the border office is actually that the distribution issue was not handled properly.

It is said that it is difficult for cadres in the border areas and farm leaders to get along with each other, but in fact it is because the distribution resources are not clearly coordinated.

If there is a problem with resource allocation, people will naturally find fault with you in other areas.

They said that Li Xuewu restricted him, and so on, but in the final analysis it was Jin Yaohui's scholarly character that made him unable to withstand the pressure from this side.

You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted.

Given the size of the frontier office, if it really wanted to carry out a few big projects, even if it continued to develop at the original pace, he would not bring up this problem at the dinner table.

The problem must be solved. Jin Yaohui had problems and was looked down upon by others. It was because Li Huaide failed to discipline him properly and used the wrong people.

Li Huaide would never allow such a situation, so he did not scold Jin Yaohui at the dinner table.

After dinner, despite the fatigue from the journey, he called Li Xuewu to a private meeting.

"Jin Yaohui can no longer be used. We must adjust. Find someone to replace him."

Li Huaide was also very depressed. He was jealous when he saw Li Xuewu making a fortune by using the resources of the steel mill.

He didn't dare to say that the distribution units in Beijing and Gangcheng were run by Li Xuewu, but he was inevitably related to them.

Therefore, he also wanted to let Jin Yaohui run the frontier office so that he could earn some pocket money.

But there was nothing they could do as the material was of poor quality, so they had no choice but to call Li Xuewu and hand over the distribution rights they had in their hands to him.

He was very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do as he had no one to use in the local area.

"Internal issues need to be replaced and adjusted without mercy, but external issues must be resolved!"

Li Huaide had a serious expression on his face, pointed at the table with his finger, and emphasized to Li Xuewu: "Especially regarding the border cadres and leaders of local farms, if you can't control them, there will be no cooperation in the future."

"On the one hand, we need to establish a positive political image, and on the other hand, we also need to have an economic and trade mindset."

He looked at Li Xuewu, nodded his head and said, "Don't learn from Jin Yaohui, who is stubborn."

“The frontier office is too far away”

Li Xuewu was smoking a cigarette and looked embarrassed. He said, "The geographical environment is so bad, and there are not many cadres at the section level who can be used."

He paused deliberately, then looked at Li Huaide and suggested: "Xu Ning from the Security Department of the Steel Plant can be used. He is a section chief, has rich work experience and strong adaptability."

"Well, sure, let's use him."

Li Huaide pointed at the table and said, "If you use a cadre from the Security Department as the top leader, he must be ruthless enough, otherwise he will not be able to stand firm here."

"We need to improve our relationships with distributors. The current situation is not acceptable. It's too chaotic."

He smelled Li Xuewu's cigarettes and felt the urge to smoke again. He took out the medicine box from his pocket and took a pill into his mouth.

Actually, he had controlled his smoking addiction quite well, but Li Xuewu always smoked in front of him, causing his smoking cessation efforts to regress.

"Then continue to change people"

Li Xuewu noticed that the more medicine he took, the more he smoked cigarettes in his mouth, which was really bad.

"The personnel relations here are complicated, so let's connect the personnel relations in the factory and rotate them regularly."

"Distribution issues cannot be left in your hands. It is better to transfer them out, which also makes it easier to handle some issues."

"I don't care about this matter, you arrange it"

Li Huaide heard him say this, waved his hand, and said: "I only have one request, that is, we must stabilize the border office, make achievements, and do something!"

He was really determined and would rather lose a bit of profit than have any loopholes in his work.

Of course Li Xuewu couldn't let him feel uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to ask about Jin Yaohui's next plan.

Li Huaide was annoyed and said he would withdraw to the Management Committee Office to work as an office secretary.

"That's not the case. Director Jin has no credit but has worked hard."

Li Xuewu advised with a smile: "The working environment in the border areas is indeed not good, and it is understandable that some problems arise."

"Oh~ You're speaking up for him."

Li Huaide chuckled and scolded Li Xuewu: "Did he give you any benefits in private?"

He joked and then shook his head slightly and said, "Old Jin is too honest. He is not suitable for business work. His thinking is stereotyped and he doesn't have the enterprising spirit of a young man."

"Then go to the Economic and Trade Office."

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, saying: "It's just right for me to go to United Three Industries to be Yu Decai's deputy."

"The tertiary industry is growing bigger and bigger, and we need someone to provide support. Comrade Decai has mentioned this several times."

"……talk later"

Li Huaide sat on the chair, sighed slightly, looked at Li Xuewu and said: "I have problems in personnel management, and I'm not as good as you."
-
Working late at night and getting up early in the morning, this is the rhythm of a business trip.

After chatting with Li Huaide for half the night, I finally sorted out the problems in the office.

Early in the morning, just after breakfast, following Jin Yaohui's arrangement, the group went to visit related ranches and farms.

Li Xuewu specially called four members of the frontier development team to follow him, so that they could see the world and lay the foundation for their future distribution work.

Ding Wanqiu is a veteran and can survive anywhere, just like an indestructible cockroach.

The border area is extremely cold, and even though they are from the north, they still shivered when faced with the cold on the first day of December.

I exchanged all the cotton-padded jackets and trousers I brought from home for the furs provided by the office. Sitting in the car and looking at the white snow, I still felt indescribably cold.

From now on, the four of them will be reclaiming wasteland here. The confidence inspired by Li Xuewu on the train is gradually disappearing.

Xiao Jianjun wanted to cry the most. His father had arranged for him to come to the border, but he dared to run back. It was Li Xuewu who arranged it, and he would not dare to go back even if he died here.

"Hahaha!"

"Director Li!"

A farm cadre who had met Li Huaide last time came out and greeted him with a big laugh.

When he saw Li Xuewu in military uniform again, his glasses almost fell off in shock.

The last time you came, you were in the Security Department. Now you have changed your identity?
I dressed like this on purpose, after all, the clothing management was a bit chaotic at that time.

Li Xuewu did not lie to him. He took out his ID to show him and explained his identity with a smile.

Wow, deputy commander, the other party saluted immediately.

The levels of farms vary, and it is normal to have a high level of division, and there are a lot of regiment levels.

People like Li Xuewu are already very impressive in their place, and the key point is the unit he belongs to.

They were guarding the border reclamation area, and Li Xuewu was the garrison commander.

Li Huaide said he wanted to save his face, so Li Xuewu naturally had to help him.

These frontier cadres have little education and do things without reason or principles, so it is difficult for ordinary people to control them.

In the morning, we visited slaughterhouses, fur processing factories, tobacco and grain reclamation areas, fruit planting areas and other production areas. After returning, the group held another symposium to discuss the in-depth cooperation agenda. Lunch was arranged in the small canteen.

If this kind of reception had happened in Beijing, Li Huaide would have been dissatisfied long ago. It was too cruel!

Not to mention that the morning schedule was too tight, even the lunch was too rough.

It’s not that there is no meat, but it is all served in large iron basins, quite like the style of home-cooked stews in Northeast China.

Li Huaide just didn't believe that these cadres didn't know where he came from, and he just didn't believe that their chefs couldn't cook a few delicious dishes.

But it was his secretary who caused the trouble. He was unhappy and clearly wanted to make things difficult for us.

In the past, the steel rolling mill could be said to be bringing warmth to the border areas and taking care of the border areas.

But now frontier trade occupies an increasingly important position in the overall industrial layout of steel rolling mills.

If Li Huaide were really asked to withdraw his office from the border, he would really be reluctant to do so.

Maintaining good relations with local farms and ranches and stabilizing border trade, the cornerstone of industrial development, became an important purpose of Li Huaide's trip.

So the big bowls of wine and the big chunks of meat made Li Huaide's mouth sore and his stomach hurt.

Li Xuewu didn't care. Seeing the frontier cadres taking action, he also grabbed some bones and meat to eat.

Especially when it comes to drinking, he not only accepts everyone who offers it, but also takes the initiative, with the main slogan "If you break my leadership wings, I will destroy your entire paradise."

These cadres from the frontier area are very good at drinking, especially when they are deliberately "entertaining" the people from the steel rolling mill, and there are a lot of people who come up to drink with them.

But no matter how much he drinks, he can't drink more than Li Xuewu.

So when Li Huaide was about to get drunk, the other party wisely chose to call off the battle.

If he drinks any more, not only will he be knocked down here, but he won’t be able to complete his afternoon schedule.

With a few jeeps leading the way and two Liberation trucks following the rest, the group started to visit the ranch again.

These related units are all located in the vicinity of Wucheng, belong to the same department, have very close ties, and share information.

The person who came from the steel rolling mill this time was the top leader, and he brought a drinking hole with him. All the other units knew about it as soon as they left the regiment headquarters gate.

So the next wave of reception units will not arrange a drinking competition, but a horse riding competition.

The excuse is to experience the most authentic life of herdsmen and better understand the original ecology of the Tianshan grassland.

Li Huaide really wanted to curse. He ate so much meat at noon and drank so much wine. Now he was going to ride a horse?!

Fuck! Riding a rouge horse or a skinny horse is fine!
Li Xuewu stumbled down from the car, glanced at the horses brought over by the herdsmen, pulled the reins, and said with a smile that he would try it for his leader.

When they saw him about to jump onto the horse, the reception cadres at the border were shocked. They didn't expect that the other party was serious.

They were also deliberately making things difficult for these big masters from the capital, because it was Jin Yaohui who put on airs in front of them.

Of course it was impossible for them to ride a horse, and they would not be able to bear the consequences if something really happened.

So even if the horse was brought, as long as Li Huaide said he didn't want to ride it, they would just say a few words and the matter would be over.

But who would have thought that today, by chance, I would meet not only a drunkard, but also a stubborn one!
They weren't ready yet, but that drunkard started acting crazy.

No one knows how much Li Xuewu can drink, but if you drink, he drinks too, and if you get drunk, he gets drunk too.

He looked drunk in the car just now, so these officials didn't dare to let him take any risks.

But Li Xuewu's long legs and fast body could not stop him. While the herdsmen were still stunned, Li Xuewu had already ridden his horse and ran out.

Good boy! This is really a disaster.

The reception cadre was afraid that he would fall down due to drunkenness, so he waved to the herdsmen to mount their horses and chase him.

They were also in a panic and crawled into the car, shouting for the driver to drive over and pick them up.

Even if the steel rolling mill's office in the border area is no longer a big deal, it has nothing to do with these people from Beijing.

They have taken the initiative to ease the relationship, but we should just muddle through and not send them back after they have been crippled. That would not be cooperation, but enmity.

Especially that drunkard. If anything really happens to the cadres in the garrison, their leaders will have to take the responsibility.

So a funny scene appeared in the wilderness: a white horse carrying Li Xuewu was galloping in front, followed by more than a dozen horses, and behind them was a whole caravan following.

Those who know that he is chasing someone will think that some big shot is out for a ride with such a grand ceremony.

Li Huaide was so proud sitting in the car this time. He felt indescribably proud that his subordinates made him proud.

"Don't be afraid, don't panic, our Deputy Director Li...hiccup~..."

He gasped as he spoke and burped, almost suffocating the reception officer in the passenger seat.

"Director Li, can this Deputy Director Li ride a horse?"

The receptionist couldn't see what was happening in front of him, and was so anxious that he jumped up and down. He turned around and asked Li Huaide, "He drank so much, he won't fall, right?"

In fact, the first sentence of the reception cadre was directed to Li Huaide, and the second sentence was entirely his own worry.

But Li Huaide has too many now, so it’s hard to tell them apart.

"No, no, no, no..."

He waved his hands like this, swaying with the car and almost fell asleep, but his real intention was to ensure that Li Xuewu would not fall.

The reception officer thought he meant Li Xuewu couldn't ride a horse, his face turned green as shit, and he urged the driver to speed up.

Do you think someone who can't ride a horse can ride so far?
The reception cadres have seen everything. Some of them have never ridden a horse before, but some still ride horses when they are drunk. This is not uncommon.

What’s strange is that he was drunk and yet he let a horse ride him.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”

The reception cadre shouted at the top of his lungs and woke Li Huaide up again.

"Haven't you caught up yet?"

He is really good at making sarcastic remarks. The reception cadres are so eager to die.

"It's okay~ It's okay~ Comrade Xuewu~ Huh~"

OK! He didn't say anything useful and fell asleep again.

"crunch~"

The horse team in front stopped, and the reception cadre felt relieved when he saw Captain Li still sitting on the horse.

Before he opened the car door to see Li Xuewu, he heard Li Huaide, who was awakened by the shaking in the back seat, say: "Look! I told you, he can ride a horse!"

"..."

The reception staff was about to cry, how could you say that!

"Hahaha!"

Li Xuewu jumped off the horse with loud laughter and threw the reins in his hand to the herdsman who came to pick him up.

"It's so satisfying! It's been so long since I've enjoyed riding a horse so much!"

He was very happy, but the people following him were almost frozen to death.

Didn't they agree to bring the horses out for show? They didn't even have thick clothes for riding horses, and were urged by the reception staff to chase this bastard. Their snot bubbles froze.

The reception cadre looked at Li Xuewu who was walking over and felt embarrassed and scared.

Li Huaide patted him on the shoulder and asked what the man from the steel mill was like.
"The hero is young and very capable!"

"Hahaha~"

Seeing that the cadre was convinced, Li Huaide laughed and emphasized: "We call this Niubi!"

"Niu~beep~~~"

"..."

Li Xuewu, who was walking over, paused and looked at the drunk Li Huaide in silence, expressing regret for his wording.

If you can’t describe it, you don’t have to speak!
Ding Wanqiu and others got out of the car and looked at Li Xuewu having fun with envy.

Now that we're at the ranch, how can we not go riding and have some fun?

But the reception cadres were frightened by Li Xuewu, so they just let them play around for a while and then said they wanted to go back.

Ding Wanqiu was also a playboy in his early years, and horse riding was his specialty.

Xiao Jianjun learned the skill of transportation in the frontier this year and can ride it for fun.

Dachun was the best rider because it was a skill passed down from his ancestors. He knew that the bandits ran too slowly, so he asked people to shoot them.

Only Zhao Laowu was a native of Beijing. His ancestors didn't even have a four-legged bench, let alone a horse or even a donkey.

So I could only watch the other three friends ride while I squatted on the bike, staring enviously.

On the way back, the receiving cadre was afraid that Li Xuewu might want to ride back on a whim, so he quickly praised him, saying that he was good in this and that, and told him not to get off the bike.

We were already drunk at noon, so the whole roasted lamb in the evening seemed much more polite.

Li Huaide had been busy all day and the alcohol was almost gone. He and Li Xuewu started bragging to the farm cadres.

Jin Yaohui was left out and felt uncomfortable.

During the day, Li Xuewu stole the show and overshadowed him.

In the evening, Director Li gained the respect of those frontier cadres again, which made him proud.

Especially after listening to his random nonsense, these frontier cadres were so ignorant as to say that what he said made sense!

Praise Li Xuewu for his eloquence, talent, and ability in both literature and martial arts...

Jin Yaohui felt sour in his mouth and thought to himself, this guy is a big liar!
They don't recognize that you are such an honest and upright person, but you have to applaud this big liar for deceiving you?
The working environment in this border area is really fucking terrible!

Li Huaide did nothing serious the whole day. He just wandered around like a street urchin, going from one house to another.

Without saying a single serious word or discussing any serious projects, it really feels like we are here for fun.

But it was this casual attitude that really made these frontier cadres proud, and they became more open and their relationships eased.

In particular, farms and ranches that have cooperated with the Border Office have proactively proposed cooperation projects for next year.

Li Huaide, on the other hand, was no longer in a hurry. He waved his hand and said that he had drunk too much today and did not want to talk about work. He had been busy for a whole year and should just have fun.

Jin Yaohui was also cursing helplessly in his heart. Although he was a bit greedy, he really wanted to do practical things.

Otherwise, why did he agree to stay when Li Huaide asked him to in March this year?

I traveled thousands of miles to stay in the frontier, without being able to take care of my wife and children, all for the sake of progress.

But as a secretary for Li Huaide, he had long forgotten how to be in charge, and the other party seemed to be accustomed to his requests for instructions and reports.

He was originally an honest scholar, and being thrown to such a far place, he felt a little unsure.

In addition, the Frontier Office is the first external unit created by the United Trade and also the starting point, so the pressure can be imagined.

Li Huaide said he was tired this year, but Jin Yaohui, who was far away in the border area, was also supporting Li Huaide under pressure.

All things are difficult at the beginning. It was not easy for him to work in the frontier office. He had to be cautious in everything, but this caution turned out to be a mistake.

Seeing Li Xuewu laughing and being impolite, drinking and chatting with those cadres, and making dirty jokes, he actually caught the eyes of those people.

He felt an inexplicable sense of grief and indignation in his heart, as if the whole world was drunk but he was the only one sober, and the whole world was turbid but he was the only one clear.

Why is it so difficult to be an innocent person?
Li Xuewu actually thought so too!
Especially when the group returned to the office and heard Jin Yaohui invite Li Huaide to go out and experience the special projects.

He watched the two men sneak out of the door, and in his heart he lamented his innocence.

Alas, among all the cadres in this steel mill, I am the most serious one, right? !
"Let's go! I'll take you guys out to play!"

"Ah? You're going out again?"

Dachun had been running with the team all day and was about to lie down. When he heard Li Xuewu standing at the door and calling them to go out, he couldn't help but complain.

Li Xuewu didn't care about his laziness, and said with a sly smile: "Do you want to see the characteristics of the frontier?"

“What are the frontier characteristics?”

The particularly innocent Zhao Laowu stuck his head out of the bathroom door and looked at them with a puzzled look on his face.

Li Xuewu smiled mysteriously, gave him a look that said you understand, then told them to gather downstairs and left.

Zhao Laowu scratched his head with an expression like a parrot, not understanding what Director Li meant.

Ding Wanqiu smiled meaningfully, patted his butt, and quickly got off the kang to put on his shoes.

"If you don't know what the characteristics of the frontier are, then why did you come to the frontier?"

He raised his eyebrows and said, "I am old, and I am not as interested in quantity as you young people. I pay more attention to quality now~"

"Hey~ You are old but your heart is young, and your heart is old but your lust is still strong"

Xiao Jianjun also went downstairs to put on his shoes, jokingly saying, "Look at your physique, two or three times a night shouldn't be a problem."

As he spoke, Dachun, who was putting on shoes for going to the field, said: "When we are old, I will be satisfied if our bodies can be as strong as Grandpa Ding's."

"I don't understand what you are saying"

Dachun pulled up his trousers, with a sly smile on his face, and said: "I am young, and I mainly come here to broaden my horizons with you."

"You don't have to go there in person to learn more~"

Ding Wanqiu looked in the mirror and adjusted his clothes, saying with a smile, "It must be tiring to work so hard in this cold weather. We will tell you the same thing when we come back."

"That won't work!"

Dachun looked at me as if to say, "I haven't been educated much, but don't try to fool me."

He tightened his belt around his waist and pouted, "The boss said that no matter how deep or shallow the things you learn from paper are, you have to bend over backwards to say it's okay!"

"Sigh~~~"

Ding Wanqiu turned around, looked at Dachun who was talking nonsense, and asked Xiao Jianjun: "Is this kid's education level really enough to write a letter?"

After a few days of activities together, they became familiar with each other. Xiao Jianjun no longer resisted and started joking around.

"Hey~ Everyone knows how to write a curse letter. Even the kids in the alley know how to write it."

"Don't look down on others~"

Dachun tilted his chin and said, "I actually went to elementary school!"

"Hahahaha!"

When Xiao Jianjun saw Zhao Laowu coming out of the bathroom, he threw the coat hanging on the wall to him, pointed at Dachun and asked with a smile: "The elementary school you are talking about is not some girl in the village, right?"

"Go~ there's no such thing as a primary school for a girl!"

The old and shy Ding Wanqiu took the lead and walked out of the room. He turned back and winked at Xiao Jianjun and said, "Only 'sister' can be called 'primary school'!"

"Go away! Go away!"

Dachun, who obviously understood, waved his hand impatiently and said, "None of you are serious. No wonder the boss is worried about you and sent me to supervise your work!"

"Hmm~ The boss really didn't misjudge you on this point."

Ding Wanqiu beckoned Zhao Laowu to come out and lock the door, and said to Dachun in a sarcasm: "He knows what kind of person you are!"

"What are you talking about?"

Zhao Laowu locked the door in a daze and followed behind without knowing what was happening.

“What are the frontier characteristics?”

"Shh~~~"

When they heard Zhao Laowu ask this in the corridor, the three of them quickly gestured to him to be quiet.

It's fine to talk about this kind of thing with your brothers in the room, after all, telling dirty jokes can enhance friendship. But if you say it in public, everyone has to be serious people!
At the office gate, Li Xuewu and four others got into the car, hissing with cold. He told the driver not to worry about them and that he would be back later.

Then after driving out of the gate, Li Xuewu honked the horn, and two headlights suddenly lit up at the corner of the street, and then a jeep drove out.

Li Xuewu didn't give the other party any secret signals, it wasn't like he was going to have a meeting.

There were only two cars with people on the road. If you made a mistake, you would be kicked in the head by a donkey.

One in front and one behind, two cars were driving on the streets of Wucheng. Cars passed by from time to time, but no one paid attention to them.

After turning several streets and entering a large courtyard, the two cars finally stopped.

The person in the previous car opened the garage door and directed the two cars to park in the garage.

Given the weather in the border area, if you still want to drive at night, don't even think about parking outside.

The little heat given off by the engine froze the car's water tank solid in less than fifteen minutes.

Either stop warming up the warehouse or drain the water.

After getting out of the car, Li Xuewu led four people out of the garage and looked around the exotic courtyard with full of curiosity.

In fact, there are many buildings in Wucheng, and its development is not slow. It is an important frontier town and an important political, economic and cultural center.

The city’s architectural styles vary greatly, with distinct ethnic characteristics and a mix of other exotic customs.

The courtyard where Li Xuewu was standing was on the edge of the city. The high walls were illuminated by moonlight, forming a beautiful decorative painting.

"Wow~ A friend from far away"

Suddenly there was a greeting at the door. Kozibai, whom he had met and done business with last time, was standing at the door in his robe with his arms open to him.

A smile suddenly appeared on Li Xuewu's face. He spread his hands and walked over.

The two hugged each other and greeted each other.

"I also said that I would invite you to taste our fruits in the summer~"

Kozibai put his hand on Li Xuewu's arm and with his other hand gestured to the hallway, inviting him to come in.

As he walked, he complained: "I waited for you for the whole summer but still couldn't see you. What a pity~"

"Please forgive me for breaking my promise"

Li Xuewu walked into the hallway with a smile, smiled at the waiter, took off his coat and hat, and explained: "This year I wanted to split myself into several pieces like a watermelon to do things."

Having said this, he leaned closer to Kozibai and whispered, "Things in Beijing...well...you know, otherwise I would have come here a long time ago."

“But I have tasted the fruits from the border areas.”

Li Xuewu smiled and hugged the bearded Maimaitiyar who came into the living room again, saying, "Old friend, are you okay?"

"Of course, I'm fine~"

Maimaitiyar looked at Li Xuewu with a smile and said, "March Merchant is still as strong and powerful as ever, so majestic~"

"Hahaha~"

Kozibai and Li Xuewu laughed together, raised their hands to point to the living room, and asked them to sit inside.

"We regret not meeting you earlier, but we fully understand your hard work."

He said very frankly: "What's more, the envoy of the March merchant brought your news personally, and we wish you all the best in the capital."

"Thank you for your good words"

Li Xuewu put his hands together and said with a smile: "Finally everything went well. It's such a happy thing to meet good friends!"

Ding Wanqiu and three others followed behind, listening to Li Xuewu's greetings, and looked at each other at the same time: Good friends?
That's not a nice word...
