Men and women eating in the courtyard

As March approaches, the weather in Beijing has really warmed up.

Especially after two light rains at the beginning of this week, the air became warmer and more humid.

Qin Jingru directed Han Jiankun to search the front, back, left and right yards of Haiyuncang No. 1.

No matter what you plant, you have to turn it over if she says so.

"I said it was too late—"

Even so, she was still not satisfied, and she spent the whole morning nagging to Han Jiankun about the vegetable shed in the yard.

It is said that the shed is beyond the scope of the standard, it is just a small vegetable plot covered with a piece of plastic film and a bamboo frame.

"Aunt Zhang's family in the front yard is eating pakchoy."

No one knows what's going on around here better than her. Li Xuewu doesn't even know who his neighbors are.

If you look at her again, she's almost going to visit someone else.

"I started planning to do it at the end of January, but it's still early February and I haven't done anything. If I had started earlier, I could have fried some Chinese cabbage and radish with some noodle sauce, which would have been so delicious—"

"Jingru," Li Xuewu came out of the guest room on the first floor holding Li Ning, and said jokingly, "If we don't have it, then don't talk about it. I'm still greedy after you say it."

"Let her say that the mouth is rented."

Han Jiankun was also tired of hearing this, so he retorted and turned around to go out to work, not leaving any time for Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru chased out of the restaurant with her eyes wide open, but saw Han Jiankun slipping away, then she looked at Li Xuewu.

"You make it sound easy. I'm not a magician. I can still pull out the vegetables growing in the field if they're not ripe—"

She gestured outside the door and said, "I told him to do it a long time ago, but you were afraid that he would get tired. Now it's over, right?"

"Well, that's my fault."

Li Xuewu carried his son to the living room with amusement. The little guy weighed 24 and a half pounds, and anyone would be tired after holding him for a while.

But the closer he was to walking, the clearer his eyes showed that he was leaving, and the more he clung to people hugging him.

"ah--"

Li Ning pointed to the things on the cabinet and showed his father each one of them, fiddling with them and looking at them.

Basically, this is the routine every morning.

While Gu Ning was changing the younger one's clothes, he took the older one to wash up first. After the two of them were done, he carried the younger one downstairs to play while Gu Ning combed the older one's hair and changed his clothes.

By the time the mother and daughter came down, Qin Jingru had basically prepared breakfast.

There are six people in the family, including Qin Jingru and her husband. There is food for the adults and the children at the table. It is so busy that it is like a battle. And they also have to take care of the two little ones.

Li Ning couldn't speak complete sentences and couldn't even pronounce the words clearly. He just whined and moaned to the young lady.

But for Li Shu, the whole family has to play supporting role.

Whenever the big devil says something, this little girl will chase you and pick it up.

"Eat quickly, your little mouth is chattering..."

Li Xuewu's ears were about to explode. He smiled and tapped his daughter's hand, saying, "We still have to go to grandma's house."

"Grandma said that we should chew our food slowly and thoroughly," Li Shu raised her head and looked at her father and retorted, "Grandma also said that we should not learn from Dad to wolf down his food. It doesn't look good at all—"

The leaky little cotton-padded jacket sat on the dining chair made by her great-grandfather, swinging her legs and asking, "Dad, do you think I should listen to you or grandma?"

"Listen to your grandma, Dad is wrong."

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, saying, "But Dad has to go to work early today, so cancel your plan to go to grandma's house. Just play with aunt at home, okay."

"No - Leader -"

Qin Jingru, who had just been watching the fun, couldn't laugh anymore. "You can't retaliate."

"Good boy, eat quickly--"

Now there was no need for Li Xuewu to urge her. Qin Jingru took the initiative to coax Li Shu to finish the small piece of corn tortilla quickly.

"You don't want to farm at home with your aunt, right?"

"I can help you feed the chickens, auntie."

Li Shu, who felt that she was being despised, still knew how to find work for herself. She took the small bag handed to her by her aunt with some dissatisfaction.

"Of course, I know that Li Shu is very hardworking, but I don't want her to work too hard—"

Qin Jingru simply couldn't imagine the scene where the big devil and the little devil were pestering her, so she tried her best to coax Li Shu.

"Think about it, Mom has gone to work, Dad has gone to work, and Uncle Han has also gone to work."

She was afraid that Li Xuewu would waste time and not go to see Li Shu off, so she went out first with the child in her arms.

"My aunt is the only one left at home. How boring is that? There are more children at grandma's house, right?"

"Aunt, I want to eat egg cake tonight——"

Li Shu made a wish before getting on the bus. She knew that her aunt would not refuse her at this time.

“Like father, like daughter!”

Sure enough, the aunt tapped her nose and said in admiration: "You win. I'll make you a steamed egg cake tonight."

"But you have to promise your aunt that you are not allowed to cry or make a fuss at grandma's house, and you are not allowed to cause trouble. Got it?"

"Don't worry, I've got it all in my mind—"

Li Shu, like a little adult, gave her an affirmative gesture and took the initiative to close the car door.

Qin Jingru really felt like she was sending a Buddha to the west, so she quickly closed the car door for the young lady.

When he turned around again, he saw Li Xuewu just leaving the house, and couldn't help but complain: "You knew I was afraid of this, right?"

"What are you talking about——"

Li Xuewu smiled and waved to his daughter in the car, saying, "My daughter is so cute, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"I originally thought my daughter was caring," Qin Jingru pursed her lips, walked angrily to the yard, and muttered, "Now I've decided, I have to give birth to a son no matter what!"

"Did you hear that?" After getting on the bus, Li Xuewu reminded Han Jiankun who was looking back, "You have to work hard."

"I still like girls."

Han Jiankun smiled bitterly, shook his head, and started the car.

There are more children in the compound than at home. There are several who are about the same age as Li Shu, so she has no shortage of playmates.

Compared with the one-family households in the shipping warehouse, it is common to have more than ten or twenty households in a large compound, and children are born one after another.

In fact, although there is a family planning policy, it is not strictly enforced and is just an initiative and advocacy.

In the minds of cadres' families, which were considered elite families during this period, having two or three children might be enough.

But in the hutongs, especially among families with low intellectual demands for material, cultural and spiritual satisfaction, children are simply born and rarely any protective measures are taken.

Some families even raise seven or eight children, which is not uncommon in single-income families.

According to old and traditional concepts, the pursuit of a large family is more important than wealth and status, and a family with seven or eight sons is the most impressive.

It would be troublesome if I had seven or eight daughters.

Don't tell me that there is a throne to inherit in the family and you must have a son.

There really is a position to be inherited, and children from working-class families generally get one or two places to work in the factory.

In this context, working in a factory is equivalent to having a stable job, which is more enviable than working in a government agency.

The reason why people emphasize having a son is that, in the older generation's concept, they cannot live with a daughter and son-in-law.

Looking at the residents in the compound, Li Xuewu has few children because he cannot afford to raise too many and the children he has would most likely starve to death.

But when it comes to Li Shu, the outbreak will be like a blowout.

According to economic survey results, the living standards of urban residents have begun to improve steadily since last year.

The supply of food and non-staple foods such as grain, meat, eggs, and milk has improved significantly. At least people will no longer go hungry.

Of course, if you are talking about a single-income family with seven or eight sons, it is inevitable that they will worry about food and livelihood.

Li Xuewu didn’t think there were many children in this alley before, and he didn’t pay much attention to them as he walked by.

It was not until Li Shu and Li Ning were born, and Li Shu had grown up and wanted to find other children to play with, that he realized it.

I can’t remember when the neighbor’s child was born. It seems like he was born in an instant and plays with my own children.

"aunt--"

Li Shu had sharp eyes and a sharp mind. When she saw Zhao Yafang holding Li Tang standing in the yard, she took the initiative to call for help.

Zhao Yafang loved her the most and treated her like her own daughter since she was a child.

Seeing the father and son entering the yard, he greeted them: "It's just sunny, it's still a little cold, why don't you wear more clothes?"

“It’s not cold—”

Li Shu didn't wait for her father to answer and rushed to speak.

As soon as she entered the yard, she didn't want Li Xuewu to hold her anymore, and she struggled to get down and walk by herself.

But Li Xuewu was in a hurry to go to work, and if he really let her do what she wanted, it would take at least five minutes to walk from the front door to the front door.

"Okay, I'll leave my daughter to you!"

Li Xuewu didn't even enter the house. He placed his daughter in front of his sister-in-law and waved his hand, saying, "I have a meeting in the morning. I have to leave first."

"This is too busy——"

Zhao Yafang said to Li Shu with a smile: "It's over, your father doesn't want you anymore."

"Alas - there is no way -"

Li Shu raised her little hand and followed her mother's steps to tidy up the hair on her face. She pretended to be helpless and said, "My dad is now the secretary general."

"Hahaha--"

The big devil's pretentious expression is not annoying at all, instead it has a cuteness like a little devil.

Zhao Yafang smiled and asked, "Do you know what a secretary general is?"

"I don't really know. My aunt told me."

Li Shu jumped up and down twice, looked around her grandmother's house, and said, "Anyway, he is busier than before. I don't know what he is busy with."

"Then wait until your father comes back and ask him carefully."

Zhao Yafang opened the door, took the little girl into the house, and said to her, "Just tell me, what are you busy with? You don't even have time to play with me."

"whee--"

Li Shu smiled mischievously, and began to take off her cotton-padded jacket. She ran into the house and started looking for toys.

She had no more space for her toys at home, so she gave some to Li Tang. But in her mind, what belonged to Li Tang was hers, so it was not excessive for him to play with them.

Well, her toys are still hers.

——

"Secretary General, the leader asked about the use of the car."

Liang Zuodong met Li Xuewu on the third floor and came over to say hello.

"This includes Deputy Director Su, Deputy Director Zhang, Deputy Director Gao, and other branch and factory leaders' vehicle purchases. Please see..."

"What does the leader mean?"

Li Xuewu pointed to the office of the director of the commission and led him inside.

This place has been idle since Ding Zigui was transferred away and has been used for material processing by the secretaries.

But when I came in again today, the materials that had cluttered the room were gone. The room was clean and tidy, looking brand new. Even the furniture had been replaced.

The office of the newly appointed deputy director can make use of old furniture, because a new office building will be built next year and all these furniture will be eliminated.

But the newly appointed director of the commission office could not suffer any grievance because he was the person in charge. At least Liang Zuodong and Bai Changshan thought there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Originally, Li Xuewu was only the leader of the security team and concurrently the deputy director of the commission's office. They were of the same rank in the commission's office.

But in just one month, Li Xuewu not only became the director of the Management Committee Office, but also the secretary-general of the factory management committee, which was a further step and completely crushed him.

Until the dust settles, everyone is a dark horse.

When the dust settles, everyone will flatter.

Liang Zuodong dared to do small things in private before, but now under Li Xuewu's hands...

All I can say is that the more arrogant you were before, the more humble you are now.

Do you think it only took one year for the deputy director of the Management Committee Office to become the secretary general?

Don't be silly, that's Li Xuewu!

What he wants to show Li Xuewu now is that he has the ability and confidence to become a capable successor to the director of the Management Committee Office.

If Li Xuewu gave him a chance, he would be willing to work hard and strive to become the deputy secretary-general.

After entering the office, Li Xuewu sat down naturally behind the desk, crossed his right leg and placed his hands in front of him.

Liang Zuodong stood across from the desk and reported, "Deputy Director Gao asked you to arrange it. She doesn't need a car for the time being."

"Deputy Director Su and Deputy Director Zhang, you know," he paused and said, "There are not many small cars that can be coordinated in the factory."

"Yes, Director Li mentioned this matter."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and didn't ask the secretary from the Management Committee Office who followed in to help him make tea. He didn't plan to sit here all morning.

"The plan to purchase cars was not approved in advance because the leaders were required to adjust their ranks this time."

"Yes, I believe the leaders understand."

Liang Zuodong nodded and said, "But now... you see how the application report is prepared by the Commission Office. Should we order the car from Shanghai or import it?"

"Don't import it. It's too conspicuous."

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly, looked at him and said, "Deputy Director Gu, Deputy Director Jing and other leaders use two-end flat, so let's buy this one."

He thought for a moment and said, “You can count the main persons in charge of branches and professional factories, and those at the department level should use Red Star Antelope.”

"Comrades above the department level will use the gray Modu, and the factory leaders will purchase the black Modu." Li Xuewu nodded slowly and added: "Using the Antelope is also a temporary measure. Our factory will have a production plan for new cars within two to three years."

"Is it a jeep or a sedan?"

Liang Zuodong asked tentatively: "If it's a jeep..."

“Both jeeps and sedans are available.”

Li Xuewu said frankly: "My opinion is still based on practicality. After all, our factory has been under great development pressure in the past two years."

"There is another benefit to purchasing the Antelope, which is that it will facilitate the replacement of the next bus. The Automotive Research Institute is already making plans."

"Yes, I understand—"

Liang Zuodong nodded in understanding and reported softly, "Director Li specifically instructed that the Volga he replaced be left to you."

"Let's talk about it later. I'm not in a hurry."

Li Xuewu smiled. He didn't want to refuse Li Huaide's kindness.

Old Li had told him this idea once, and this time he told it to Liang Zuodong, also intending to let others know that it was his idea to give Li Xuewu a car.

The implication of this kind of care was obvious, but Li Xuewu was really embarrassed to let the factory leaders ride in the Modu while he himself rode in the imported Volga car.

Although it was replaced, people still hate it.

He is now the secretary-general, but he also serves as the head of the Management Committee Office and the Security Group. Both sides require a certain amount of time for handover and adaptation.

The security team has already decided on the successor, and he has long been familiar with the Management Committee Office. He also officially assumed the responsibility a few days ago.

"Okay, that's it. You submit the application and I'll sign it."

Li Xuewu stood up, walked out of the desk, patted his arm, and said with a smile: "Please communicate with the leaders and ask them to understand."

"Don't worry, I'll make arrangements."

Liang Zuodong nodded very seriously, and then went out with Li Xuewu.

When he came out, he asked tentatively, "I've asked someone to clean up the office here. Do you need anything else?"

"Not for now, no rush."

Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Comrade Wang Xiaoqin from the security team will need some time to adapt, and I also need to finish the work here."

He said with a pun: "Xiao Li is already working on the material division, but there are too many of them, so it may take some time."

"I was just talking about this this morning, how to transfer Comrade Xiaoli's relationship."

Liang Zuodong asked attentively, "Should it be placed in one department, or?"

He was being attentive for a purpose. On the one hand, he wanted to know Li Xuewu's next work arrangements and the layout of the work of the Management Committee Office.

On the other hand, it is best to start with the arrangements of the people around him to gain insight into Li Xuewu's attitude towards personnel work.

As long as we ask Li Xuewu clearly about his arrangements for Peng Xiaoli, we can basically determine the personnel arrangements for several departments in the future.

Previously, Li Xuewu was responsible for organizational and coordinating work, and Shi Ruoweng was responsible for factory affairs, that is, the management of specific departments.

Shi Ruoweng is in charge of subjects one and two, while Ao Yuhua is in charge of subjects three and four.

Now that Shi Ruoweng has been dealt with, Ao Yuhua has gone to the Personnel Department, and the management of the department is temporarily in charge of Li Xuewu.

However, due to the location of his office, Li Xuewu paid close attention to the department's organizational construction work and was relatively lax on daily management.

After Liang Zuodong and Bai Changshan arrived, they did not really get involved in the specific management of the department, but only participated in the management work as leaders of the commission office.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Just yesterday, Li Xuewu convened an organizational work meeting of the Management Committee Office and determined the division of labor for the deputy directors.

Compared with the past, special adjustments have been made. Liang Zuodong is responsible for subjects one and three, and Bai Changshan is responsible for subjects two and four.

The four departments of the commission have different corresponding service directions.

As the deputy director in charge, once the department in charge is determined, the subsequent responsibilities will also be determined.

"I haven't had time to ask him yet. I'll talk about it later."

Li Xuewu turned a blind eye to Liang Zuodong's temptation, intending to keep them hanging for a while so that they would not be confused about who was the bigger king and who was the smaller one.

In several of his answers, he used words like "don't be in a hurry", "talk slowly", and "wait a minute" which meant that he didn't want the other person to get close to him and was obviously creating a sense of distance.

We were all deputy directors before, but I was the leader of the security team.

Who gave him the courage to do something behind his back?

Lu Xun once said that if the skirt is too big, all kinds of birds will appear.

Li Xuewu will not tolerate such people, and will punish them when necessary.

Because there is no point in keeping them around to show off their attitude or gain abilities, and he has no plans to cheat anyone recently.

Of course, he also knew who gave Liang Zuodong the courage to do this little trick.

When the mouse laughs at the cat, there must be a hole next to it.

When someone bullies you openly, there must be a dog by his side.

He won't get angry if you fight within the rules, but if someone dares to play dirty tricks on him, he can only say: It's okay, be more careful in your next life.

——

Along the Liangma River, there are willow trees and blooming flowers in the spring.

The message was received, and the commuter passenger ship made its first voyage safely.

In mid-March, the medium-sized passenger ship, which was approved in April last year and designed and manufactured by Yingcheng Ship in May, was launched for sea trials last month.

And just today, the [Red Star-Kejia] passenger ship, which departed from the Yingcheng Shipyard Wharf and went directly to the riverside wharf of the Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone of the Red Star Factory, finally slowly docked under the expectant gaze of the crowd.

The first project to be started in the Liangmahe Industrial Zone was not the United School, but the renovation of the Liangmahe River bank and the shipping and cargo terminal.

Until now, the project has not been fully completed.

The Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone will use a lot of water resources in the future. Faced with the increasingly severe shortage of groundwater in Beijing, the Red Star Factory can no longer rely entirely on groundwater and the small-scale circulation system of Tuanjie Lake.

Of course, the ecological water circulation system has reduced water consumption due to the overall relocation of the steel mill.

However, the small thermal power station under construction is also a large water user, including the water pipes pre-buried in the ecological industrial zone for water applications such as greening.

Water cycle means water application and water management. Coincidentally, the section of the river where the Liangmahe Industrial Zone is located is the node where other small water systems in Dongcheng converge.

That is to say, Liangmahe Industrial Zone is located at one end of Liangmahe River.

Widening the river would result in the loss of carrying capacity for large ships, but in order to better plan and build the industrial zone, the Red Star Factory had to widen the river.

Under the premise that it is impossible to build dams, the only way is to widen the river channel and deepen it at the same time, so as to gather more water resources.

So, from this end to the edge of the industrial area, the river becomes narrower and shallower.

It is completely stress-free for medium and large passenger ships to travel from Yingcheng to here. Compared with railway transportation, ship transportation is more convenient.

In terms of comfort, it can also bring more enjoyment and experience to passengers.

Li Xuewu stood on the dock and couldn't help but smile as he looked at the Red Star Factory employees waving at him from the side of the ship.

He turned to Zhang Jinsong, the deputy director in charge of logistics and service, and said, "In order to get it parked here, the factory's engineering and construction department put a lot of effort in, but everything went smoothly."

"As you can see, it can carry 900 people from here to the camp city in less than a day and a half."

“Hmm…” Zhang Jinsong did not show enough surprise. He nodded and asked, “It is indeed shocking enough. Then what?”

Seeing Li Xuewu narrowing his eyes slightly and looking at him in confusion, he added: "From the capital to Yingcheng, it only takes a day and a half by train, right?"

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "If the effect is the same, why would our factory spend a huge amount of money to build such a big ship just for commuting?"

As he said this, his eyes were looking at Li Xuewu, but his hand was pointing in the direction of the ship approaching the shore.

By this point, Li Xuewu could already see that Zhang Jinsong was not very satisfied with the passenger ship project, or at least was unwilling to spend more money.

"Indeed, a ship this big must have cost us at least hundreds of thousands to build."

He did not argue with Zhang Jinsong, nor did he explain to him why he should build and operate a passenger ship. Instead, he said a few words in line with his meaning.

“And the dock here.”

Zhang Jinsong pointed at his feet, looked at the ship in front of him and said with some regret: "Red Star Factory is in a stage of rapid development, and everything needs funds, but hundreds of thousands of funds have been invested here."

He put his hands on his hips, looked at the newly planted willow trees on both sides of the river, the construction site, and the blue water, and said, "I am very sad about this waste."

"Some of our factory cadres have not yet completely cut off the tail of hedonism and capitalism, and are still sticking to the old way of saying whoever feeds you is your mother."

"Yes, you are right—"

Li Xuewu nodded in agreement, looking at the employees getting off the ship, their smiling faces and their joy, and listening to Deputy Director Zhang's words, which were quite ironic.

“We can’t go on like this.”

Zhang Jinsong said seriously: "I don't care about the previous policies and plans. Now that I am in charge of logistics and service work, I must rectify this bad phenomenon and cut off the tail."

"Well, I totally agree with you."

Li Xuewu nodded again to agree with him. If they were not at the dock with many cadres standing behind him, he would even want to applaud.

As the two men stood there and talked, the people behind them frowned, whispered, and talked a lot.

The shipping project was initiated by Yingcheng Shipbuilding and the decision was made after review and investigation by the finance department and multiple departments.

The main operation body is still in Yingcheng for the time being, but Zhang Jinsong is in charge of logistics and service work, so this is also within his scope of responsibility.

So the question is, who proposed this project in the first place?

That’s right, it was the Secretary-General who stood next to Zhang Jinsong and constantly agreed to cancel this project.

Those who didn’t know what happened looked confused, while those who knew the actual situation and the project had meaningful looks in their eyes.

Oh!

The management committee of the Red Star Factory had just been fully staffed, but disputes and conflicts arose too quickly.

Denying his previous work and projects in front of the Secretary-General, Deputy Director Zhang is really a... little cutie.

Should we say that he is honest and brainless, or that he is eager for quick success?

Without them saying anything, Xu Sinian, director of the Yingcheng Ship Management Committee, got off the ship, accompanied by some shipyard cadres.

"Deputy Director Zhang, Secretary General."

Xu Sinian, dressed in an executive suit and with a rosy face, walked over and shook hands and greeted the factory leaders who came to attend the maiden flight ceremony.

He seemed not to notice Deputy Director Zhang's attitude, and took advantage of the atmosphere of drums and gongs to start his introduction.

"...The ship is 138 meters long, 17.6 meters wide, 8.4 meters deep, 6 meters draft, 5,926 gross tons, 2 9ESDZ43/82 diesel engines, 2×3,310 kW, 17 knots, 3,500 nautical miles of endurance, 2,000 tons of cargo, 856 passengers, and the longest route is from Gangcheng to Beijing..."

Zhang Jinsong was a little indifferent when he first listened to Xu Sinian's introduction. Even though he tried hard to appear to be participating in the event seriously, he could not hide his negativity and impatience.

He didn't like this project from the bottom of his heart, and was even more unwilling to spend more energy and money to maintain a vehicle that could only transport employees.

But due to the importance of the ships in Yingcheng, and considering that Xu Sinian was also a senior department-level cadre, he had to act serious.

But as he listened, he felt something was not right. He heard the nine hundred people that Li Xuewu just mentioned, but how come there was still a capacity to transport two thousand tons of cargo?

Also, what does a range of 3,500 nautical miles mean?

"Cargo capacity 2,000 tons?"

"That's right, Deputy Director Zhang."

Xu Sinian's introduction was interrupted by the leader, so he nodded and confirmed it before continuing, "According to the current shipping and transportation level, the ship only needs to travel to and from Beijing four times a month to meet the commuting and family visits of the Red Star Factory's employees."

"In addition, we have also signed cooperation agreements with shipping companies such as Jinmen Port Terminal, Bincheng Port Terminal, and Modu Port."

Old Xu was so happy today. After such a long time in Yingcheng Shipyard, he finally got the bee delivered to his doorstep.

Likewise, he also ignored Deputy Director Zhang's increasingly dark expression.

"According to conservative estimates, this ship can still make at least 300,000 yuan in profit each year after deducting the cost of commuter support, and is expected to fully recover its investment within three years."

"Well, very good, very good--"

As Xu Sinian's face was beaming and he was talking nonstop, Zhang Jinsong nodded in approval in a tone that made everyone behind him feel like their toes were itching.

"I still want to thank the leaders for their support and help."

Although Xu Sinian was speaking to Zhang Jinsong when he said this, he still glanced at Li Xuewu next to him.

[How is it, buddy, isn’t it awesome? ]

[Awesome! You are so awesome! Keep going! ]

After a brief eye contact between the two, Xu Sinian, encouraged by Li Xuewu, boasted even harder.

"In the second half of this year, Yingcheng Shipping will continue to invest in the construction of two passenger ships," he said with a smile: "In addition to commuting needs, they can also be leased to shipping companies and other shipping units..."

The more he talked, the stiffer Zhang Jinsong's expression became. The corners of the mouths of the cadres behind him were pursed into steel bars, for fear that one of them would burst out laughing.

What did they hear?

They heard nothing but the sound of being slapped in the face.

At this moment, everyone thought of the saying: When the boss talks about business, he is a big **.

The Secretary-General has just demonstrated to them on the spot the best way to deal with such leaders who pretend to know everything.

Where is the Secretary General?

Well, I stood there without any embarrassment or surprise, listening to Director Xu's report.

[You speak very well, continue]

——

"Secretary General, the Central Office Management Office has come to take over the Hongtu buses. Would you like to meet their team leader?"

Peng Xiaoli is busier than before. He stands beside Li Xuewu's desk with a large pile of documents in his hands, reporting on each thing one by one.

All the things that can be reported through him are those that cannot be put on paper or have no directly responsible department.

"How many units will be handed over this time?"

Li Xuewu sat in the office of the former director of the Management Committee Office, and the door plate had long been changed to Secretary-General.

In fact, according to his current position, he should be able to get a larger office, but he rejected Liang Zuodong's proposal.

The third floor of the main office building is of limited size. In order to accommodate all team members, all offices except the commission office have been moved away.

If he expands the office area further, there really will be no more space on the third floor.

This is also the reason why he prefers to work in the security team, the place is bigger and more spacious.

However, there is still some work that needs to be done here, and Peng Xiaoli has a harder job.

He opened his notebook and confirmed: "Three vehicles were handed over this time, all of which are fixed-position standards. The configurations of the three vehicles are different."

"Well, I will be gone now," Li Xuewu said, "Please ask Mr. Xia to come out and receive us."

"Okay, leader. I'll go talk to President Xia."

Peng Xiaoli flipped through the documents and continued to report: "The second batch of eight savings offices of the Beijing Branch of the Red Star United Savings Bank has started construction..."

"From now on, this kind of economic work will be handed over directly to Deputy Director Gao," Li Xuewu raised his head, nodded at Peng Xiaoli and said, "The specific situation will be reflected in the work briefing. I just need to understand it."

"Understood, leader," Peng Xiaoli made a note in his notebook and asked, "Do you need to talk to the Economic Leadership Group Office?"

"Well, let's talk about this later."

Li Xuewu nodded his pen, lowered his head and continued to review the documents, explaining, "Director Li intends to hand over the management team to Deputy Director Gao. Let's notify them when the news is confirmed."

"Oh, by the way—"

As if he just remembered something, he looked up at Peng Xiaoli and asked, "Is the gas station project about to be completed?"

"It has been completed. It was put into trial operation last Sunday and should be officially operational by the end of the month."

Peng Xiaoli introduced: "Starting from next week, all construction vehicles, transport vehicles and factory official vehicles will be transferred to Hongxing Gas Station for refueling."

"That's great news!"

Li Xuewu nodded in affirmation and said, "Speak to the sales department. The car sales company can combine the gas station's refined oil sales business with marketing. Many customers can't find external gas stations now."

"Yes, leader, it's just..."

Peng Xiaoli hesitantly reminded, "We are an internal supply and marketing gas station. We don't have a license to distribute refined oil to the outside world. I'm afraid it's not..."

"Let's sell it this way for now. There are so many people at the Red Star Factory, who knows if they are our employees."

Li Xuewu said nonchalantly: "As the number of cars and motorcycles increases, the sales of refined oil will open up sooner or later."

He signed the document in his hand, looked up at Peng Xiaoli and asked, "Anything else?"

"Yes, the fourth phase of the dual emergency plan class has begun to enroll students..."

"Leave it to Comrade Decai."

Before Peng Xiaoli finished speaking, Li Xuewu interrupted him with a wave of his hand and emphasized: "Don't send the daily business of the security team to me."

"It should be handed over to whoever it should be handed over to."

He shook his head slightly and said, "I can't finish all the work even if I have eight hands. Don't leave everything to me."

“Those that can be completed by each department should be handled by the department with all their heart, and those that cannot be handled should be handed over to the person in charge or the person in charge.”

Li Xuewu put down his pen, picked up his teacup and said, "There's one more thing I need to ask you. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to answer it."

"You also know that the work of the security team will be handed over to Comrade Wang Xiaoqin," he looked at Peng Xiaoli and asked, "What about you, do you want to stay in the security team, or do you want to follow me to manage the committee office?"

"Let me tell you first," he added without waiting for Peng Xiaoli to answer, "Comrade Wang Xiaoqin, as the representative of the Third Corps, is responsible for the factory's security work, but she has to take care of the main work of the Third Corps. Do you understand?"

Seeing Peng Xiaoli nod, he continued, "On the one hand, she cannot fully devote herself to the work of the Red Star Factory. On the other hand, the work of the three teams is complicated. She needs an assistant who understands the security team and can help her handle some basic affairs."

"You mean..."

Peng Xiaoli already understood what Li Xuewu meant, that he wanted to recommend him to be the assistant.

Of course, he was well aware of Wang Xiaoqin's situation and also understood Wang Xiaoqin's future working environment and conditions at the Red Star Factory.

Just as Li Xuewu said, if he really stayed in the security team and served as Wang Xiaoqin's assistant, he would be able to gain more work experience and opportunities to get started than he does now.

This is very beneficial to his growth and development.

Li Xuewu thought so too, so he nodded and said, "If you think it's okay, I will recommend you to her."

"Of course, if you don't want to, you can continue to follow me," Li Xuewu said with a smile, "but you will return to the Management Committee Office."

"There is one more thing I need to make clear to you."

He looked at Peng Xiaoli seriously and said, "Even if you follow me, I won't let you work by my side for a long time."

"You should understand what I mean. This will not do you any good."

"I see……"

Peng Xiaoli nodded, knowing clearly that Li Xuewu's transfer to the Management Committee Office was just a transition and he would go to Gangcheng within a year.

The framework of the Gangcheng Industrial Zone has been set up, and Dong Wenxue's task has been completed.

Just look at Dong Wenxue's current division of work and you will know that he is already preparing to return to Beijing, and is also laying the foundation for Li Xuewu to go to Gangcheng.

He would continue to follow Li Xuewu for at most a year, and then he would have to make another decision.

Should he choose to stay in the security team and follow Wang Xiaoqin now, or rely on Li Xuewu's care and be demoted to deputy section chief after a year.

For a young man, even if he has worked in the government for three years, it is difficult to answer this multiple-choice question correctly.

"Don't worry, you still have time to think about it."

Li Xuewu saw his dilemma and said with a smile: "No matter what choice you make, I want to express my gratitude for your service and help."

PS: I wrote this chapter from 9:30 in the morning to 8:40 in the evening. I felt a little overwhelmed. I could obviously write 20,000 words, but I was worried that the quality would drop if I wrote too much. I kept reviewing the content, trying my best to ensure the quality and quantity, but I was not in a good state.

Give me some time, I will definitely be able to update 20,000 words a day while ensuring the quality and quantity.
