Chapter 1074: A girl three years older than me, holding a gold brick
On Wednesday morning, the postman delivered the newspaper my family subscribed to, as well as a letter.
The letters are mailed regularly, every month, from the Soviet Embassy in Foreign Affairs.
Most of the writers were Sharapova, the secretary of the Foreign Affairs Embassy. Most of the letters expressed concern about Li Shu's growth, but Li Xuewu never replied to her.
Gu Ning couldn't even hope to write back to them. She wouldn't even write a letter to Jinling unless her mother-in-law called to curse at her.
Every month, 20 rubles of foreign currency were sent along with the letter. This was the child support agreed upon by Zhou Gancheng and them, for Li Shu.
When we lived in the courtyard last year, Sharapova, who was in charge of this matter, came to visit the children.
Seeing that Li Shu was living well and being well taken care of in the Li family, he never came again and only visited her through letters.
The purchasing power of 20 rubles was amazing at that time, especially since Zhou Gancheng also applied for a pass to the Friendship Store for Li Xuewu.
But Li Xuewu kept this certificate in Li Shu's small box, together with the small quilt he used when he brought her home and her biological mother's notebook, and it was never used once.
The monthly child support of 20 rubles was also included in the box. After the envelope was opened and the letter was read, it would be put back into the box intact.
The Li family had no shortage of support for Li Shu, and they also recognized that Li Shu was a member of the Li family and the eldest granddaughter registered in the family tree by Li Shun.
All expenses for raising her were borne by Li Xuewu. This was his responsibility and obligation as a father and he did not need help from anyone else.
However, Li Xuewu cannot deprive Li Shu of the right to know her own life experience, nor will he restrict her right to search for and understand the past.
This money belongs to Li Shu, and the documents used to go to the store also belong to Li Shu, including these letters, which are all testimony and time proof of Li Shu's understanding of the past.
Li Xuewu didn't know when to tell his daughter about her life experience, and he didn't know how to deal with her choices about the future.
These are all up to Li Shu to decide on her own in the future. Whether it's looking for her relatives or finding out about her life experience, Li Xuewu supports her.
His love for his children is sincere, without any selection or conditions, and certainly not with any utilitarianism or purpose.
So, when Han Jiankun handed the letters and newspapers to Li Xuewu, Li Xuewu simply read the monotonous letters, put them away and sent them to the study upstairs.
Li Shu was woken up twice by her younger brother last night. She didn't get up in the morning and was still lying in bed.
Gu Ning and her mother Liu Yin were washing Li Ning's face and cleaning up last night's poop and pee.
Seeing Li Xuewu coming up, Liu Yin walked downstairs carrying the trash can, and told him to wake up Li Shu and wash the child's face and dress him.
"I'll talk to my company today and ask the communications department to come and move the phone down."
Li Xuewu walked out of the study and said something to Gu Ning.
Gu Ning was holding Li Ning and feeding him. The little guy was getting fatter and fatter, probably because he ate too much.
"Forget it. There aren't that many calls. It's too much trouble."
“Not a hassle”
Li Xuewu said this, and took out Li Shu's small clothes from the guest room closet, and said, "Pull a branch line and ring the bell downstairs first."
"Dad——wow wow"
"Hey! Here it comes!"
Li Xuewu was just like the old maid who served the young masters and young ladies before. He had to respond when he heard his daughter's call.
He placed his daughter's clothes on the bed and carried her to the bathroom. At the same time, he discussed with Gu Ning whether he should purchase some nutritional supplements and mail them to Chang'an, as Gu Ning's sister-in-law, Mu Hongyan, was about to give birth.
Postal delivery is very slow at this time, especially parcels, which may take some time to reach their destination.
He was thinking that the capital was far away from Chang'an, and waiting until the baby was born before thinking about shopping and mailing was too time-consuming.
Gu Ning looked down at the child in her arms and replied, "Go on Sunday? Do you have time?"
"Not sure, maybe I need to meet with foreign businessmen." Li Xuewu came out of the bathroom holding his daughter and said, "The cultural attaché of the French Foreign Embassy asked me out. It seems to be about the ecological industrial zone."
Seeing his daughter trying to get back into bed, Li Xuewu smiled and tickled her, teasing her: "Listen, the birds outside the window have all woken up. You've washed your face but you're still lazing around in bed? Be careful you won't get any insects to eat!"
"Cluck, cluck - I don't eat bugs!"
Li Shu was laughing and hiding in the quilt, playing hide-and-seek with her father. The cricket pupae were jumping around like big insects. Li Ning heard his sister's laughter and turned back to watch the fun.
Gu Ning held his son's face and told him to eat quickly, as he was curious about everything.
"If you don't have time, shall I go with my mother? I'm afraid the child won't be able to let go by then."
"Make a list and ask Jingru to go shopping. Quality is more important than quantity."
Li Xuewu held up two sets of clothes on the bed and gestured to his daughter, "Which one do you like to wear today? Pick the prettiest one!"
"That--the one on the left!"
Li Shu said she wanted to choose the one on the left, but her little finger was pointing to the right, which really tested Li Xuewu's comprehension ability.
Fortunately, my daughter is not a leader, otherwise the cadres below would be so confused that their heads would explode.
"This is the right one," Li Xuewu said, holding up the clothes in his left hand and pointing to his daughter, "Is this the right one? This is the most beautiful one, right?"
"Yes--"
Li Shu smiled and nodded, turned over and crawled out of the bed, waiting for her father to help her put on her clothes.
Children always have some difficulty distinguishing left from right, you can see that when you look at the way they put on shoes.
Even though I clearly told them the direction of the toes of their left and right shoes, they still put them on the wrong way.
Even if my feet feel uncomfortable wearing them, I won't change them and will just wear them awkwardly.
Li Xuewu didn’t know the reason either. It might be related to the child’s visual organs not being fully developed, or it might be related to brain cognition.
Generally, children aged five or six still have this condition. It is a bit strange and he doesn’t understand it.
But Li Xuewu knows how to coax children. He is very good at fooling the bosses in the unit. Isn't it easy for him to coax children?
It must be that he loves his daughter, otherwise he would have coaxed her to wash her face, brush her teeth, change her clothes, and even prepare a breakfast of four dishes and a soup.
Every time her mother helped Li Shu dress, she had to run twice, because she either complained that one set of clothes was not good-looking or that set was not pretty enough.
The child now knows the word beautiful, but she has no concept of aesthetics.
She is just being annoying and wants more love from her family, which is also a way of acting coquettishly.
But it was early in the morning and the whole family was busy, so Li Xuewu would not run back and forth.
What should he do? Take two sets and let his daughter choose the prettiest one. What kind of theory is that?
"Take some time to call mom and ask if there's anything my sister-in-law wants to eat from Beijing, or anything that's inconvenient to buy in Chang'an, and put it on the list."
While Li Xuewu was dressing his daughter, he instructed Gu Ning, "Pack up a few sets of your son's monthly clothes and mail them over as well. Don't mind the trouble; it doesn't take up much space."
He put little tiger shoes on Li Shu and carried her downstairs. Knowing that Gu Ning didn't understand this, he explained, "It's a rule. I'm not sure about it. You can ask your mother."
"I understand. Today."
Seeing that his son didn't want to eat anymore, Gu Ning stood up, handed him to Li Xuewu, and went to change his clothes.
"I'll ask my mom what I should buy. There might be things she hasn't taken into account and I can't think of them."
"Ask more, you can also ask your colleagues, just chat casually~"
Li Xuewu held his son and teased his daughter, and said to Gu Ning: "Don't you often have tea parties in your department? Talking about gossip is not as exciting as talking about children."
"Do you think our department is a park?"
Gu Ning changed his clothes and came out, combing his hair and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about this. I'll discuss it with Jingru and mom."
She bent down, picked up Li Shu, looked at her daughter, and said, "Look how daddy washed our faces. There's still gunk on our faces."
"Look how it's washed—"
Li Shu did have someone to back her up. She turned around and said something to her father, imitating her mother's tone, with a similar expression.
Li Xuewu tapped his daughter's forehead and said, "If you hadn't cooperated, I would have been able to wash half of the corgi!"
"Half Corgi--"
Li Shu is very good at learning words and now her pronunciation is clear. She learns all kinds of words.
Gu Ning ignored the two people's teasing and carried her downstairs first.
Li Xuewu held his son in his arms and opened the window of the study upstairs before going downstairs.
-
"Leader, Deputy Team Leader Yu has asked for leave."
As soon as he arrived at the unit, Peng Xiaoli received the news from the General Office and walked into the office to report to Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu was reading today's work briefing and asked without even looking up, "Do you know the reason?"
"Director Yu's father-in-law passed away, and the family is currently holding a funeral," Peng Xiaoli explained softly, "Director Yu's wife is an only child, so he is in charge of the old man's funeral."
"Well, is it held in the capital or in Steel City?"
Li Xuewu looked through yesterday's study and work information and asked casually, "Director Yu's whole family has moved here, right?"
"Yes, Director Yu moved after coming to Beijing to work, and the old man also moved in with him and they live together."
Seeing that the lid of the teacup next to his leader was open, Peng Xiaoli picked up the thermos and refilled it with hot water.
"The union wanted to send people to arrange the funeral, but Director Yu said that everything should be kept simple as it was the old man's last wish, so we won't bother the organization."
Yu Decai's current situation is very different from when he was first transferred to the capital.
When I first came here, I was affected by the mess in Steel City and had no relatives or friends.
Even the placement of his family was arranged by Li Xuewu who had to make arrangements with the factory logistics department, who then arranged housing for him in the capital.
Now Yu Decai is the deputy head of the security team and a serious deputy division-level cadre.
Not only is he diligent and steady at work, he also leaves a good impression on Li Huaide.
Those people in the trade union are a bit snobbish. They dare not do anything to the workers, but they always classify the cadres according to their ranks and their titles.
We cannot try to curry favor with Decai, the powerful deputy team leader of the security team, but we dare not offend him.
So Li Xuewu was not surprised that they took the initiative to help with the funeral, and he was also not surprised that Decai declined the organization's kindness and handled the funeral himself.
He has been in Beijing for more than a year, and others don’t know it, but Yu Decai learned from Li Xuewu the word "low-key" and dares not to show off.
It was true that there was a funeral in the family, but he didn't want to make a name for himself through it, and he didn't want others to make a name for himself.
Even the living must be cautious, let alone the dead.
These days there are no restrictions on accepting gifts at weddings or funerals, but to be honest, most low-key officials don't do this.
Li Xuewu couldn't avoid getting married, but he didn't handle the issue of having children. Many people would find excuses to complain about him whenever they met him.
The current situation of the steel mill looks very good, but the more it is at this time, the more dangerous it is. Whoever dares to jump will die first.
So when the old man passed away, the family handled it themselves, and he was buried peacefully. Then he went back to work in a peaceful and simple manner. That’s what happened.
"Ask the General Office to send a wreath in the name of my colleagues in the security team, and another in my name. You can choose the elegiac couplet you want."
After Li Xuewu finished explaining things to Peng Xiaoli, he couldn't help but think of the phone call last night.
As the deputy head of the security team, Yu Decai is naturally qualified to install a telephone at home.
Zhou Yao called and Yu Decai must have known what happened in the factory last night.
The reason why he didn't take the job may be because the old man was about to die, or it may be because the impact of this matter was too great and he couldn't hold on.
Li Xuewu thought that it was impossible that he wanted his father-in-law to die intentionally just to avoid Li Huaide's bad deeds. It would be too funny.
Jingle Bell--
The phone on the desk rang. Li Xuewu raised his hand to answer it, and at the same time he saw Zhou Yao standing at the door, ready to knock.
He nodded first, motioned across the desk, and then picked up the phone.
"Well, I'm Li Xuewu"
The call was from Beijing Second Automobile Works, the deputy director was Gu Litong.
"Hehe, I was just about to contact you."
Hearing Gulitong's voice, Li Xuewu greeted him with a smile: "The people over at the Wei San Regiment urged me, saying that spring plowing has begun. If the agricultural machinery is not in place, the farming season will be delayed."
"The matter has been resolved. The quota given by the North China Tractor Factory is 10 units, no more, no less, which is enough for you to use."
Gulitong smiled bitterly on the phone and said: "I was able to get in touch with them only through a lot of connections. It's really difficult to get the indicators at this time."
He didn't mean to ask for a favor, he just remembered to click his chopsticks when the food was on the table.
Li Xuewu said apologetically: "It's my fault that I said it too late. Who would have thought that our factory's connections could not directly contact the tractor factory."
He smiled and thanked Gulitong, saying: "I owe you a favor. Let's sit down and have a drink later."
Gulitong was very straightforward and responded with a hearty smile. After he finished speaking, he did not hang up the phone in a hurry, but asked about Mr. Z's visit.
All of this was reported in the newspapers. Li Xuewu did not tell him much, but only talked about the factory's attitude and the work they were preparing to do.
Gu Litong was actually waiting for him to say this, and mentioned that Li Huaide led a team to visit the Second Automobile Works on the 21st.
"I heard that your Red Star Antelope II research and development project has achieved phased results?"
"Where did you hear that? How come I don't know about it?" Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "You, Deputy Director Gu, are at home, so you must have heard the news very well!"
"Don't worry about where I heard it from. I don't mean any harm to you," Gu Litong explained with a smile, "I just want to ask, since your factory has opened up channels in the jeep field, have you ever thought about manufacturing buses?"
"Bus? What bus?"
Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes and thought about closing his eyes to make the call, because he couldn't tell lies with his eyes open, right?
"No, no, you must be mistaken. Our factory has never had any plans to produce buses. That's impossible!"
Zhou Yao, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but purse her lips tightly when she heard this and almost laughed out loud.
Others may not know whether the factory has plans to produce buses, but she knows.
Because she was responsible for arranging and participating in the security and confidentiality work of the Institute of Vehicle Engineering.
Compared with other factories, Li Xuewu pays more attention to experimental technology and technological protection.
You see, some factories do a good job in security defense on confidential projects, but are very vague on production technology and R&D.
If it does not involve a special confidential project, there is basically no awareness of intellectual property protection, let alone patent protection.
But Li Xuewu has it. He can instigate Li Huaide to beg for technology from other factories, but he is very stingy with the technology developed by his own factory.
Don't really think that he is stingy. Even if he opens the door to scientific research without any defense, at most his brother units will imitate and learn from it.
Do you know the development history of instant noodles?
Some people say that this thing was made by the Japanese, while others say it was made by Taiwan.
There is no debate about who invented it, but it is true that the earliest instant noodles were not easy to preserve after being fried, and even packaging was not convenient.
Do you know who came up with the solution?
Yes, it is the mainland, the mainland at that time, just the oil was changed.
But Xiao Guizha learned from it. Although the instant noodle market in the mainland developed slowly, the other side picked up a treasure and developed many companies.
Don’t underestimate intellectual property protection. The more careful Li Xuewu is, the fewer enemies he has.
I don't know where Gu Litong got the information from, but he laughed and scolded me over the phone: "You just called me a brother, but now you're hiding something, right?"
He pointed at Li Xuewu and said, "How is the dismantling of the luxury coach that your factory brought back going? Haven't you mastered the technology yet?"
"Oh! You still know about this?"
Li Xuewu looked at Zhou Yao and said, "The car was modified when it was bought. Who said it depends on technology?"
Zhou Yao's expression also changed at this moment. Although this was not a secret, it was always her responsibility if there was a problem with the factory's confidentiality.
Gu Litong would never believe Li Xuewu’s nonsense. He said on the phone that Beijing Second Automobile Works has the production and R&D resources of the bus factory.
His meaning was very clear. If the steel mills really wanted to develop the passenger car industry, they could speed up the project, that is, give it a shot.
Everyone knows that the steel rolling mill has built a large automobile manufacturing plant in the steel city, with a complete set of imported automobile manufacturing production lines, which is very nice.
You can hang jeeps, sedans, and small passenger cars on the assembly line.
Of course, large buses are inconvenient, and the manufacturing of this type of vehicle is currently still based on workshop assembly.
Mr. Z’s visit also gave Beijing Second Automobile Works confidence in the Red Star Factory Ecological Industrial Zone and made it more determined to participate.
They can't possibly start producing pickup trucks with the steel mills; that's their main business.
But they have been working on small and large buses for many years, including chassis technology, and have some reserves and resources.
Since they can't use it themselves, they might as well cooperate with the Red Star Factory, either in the name of united industry or in the name of united tertiary industry.
As long as we can move a line from the ecological industrial zone project to Beijing Second Automobile Works, we will have established a channel of communication.
In the future, it will be convenient for Beijing Second Automobile Works to obtain financial support, supply channel support, or sales channel support.
Do you know how a company can buy a car these days?
Except for special car dealerships, you can only pick up the car at the manufacturer and wait for a number.
But the Red Star Factory is different. They have assembly lines, a complete industrial system and parts supply system, and their production efficiency is very high.
Car sales do not rely on waiting or indicators, but directly establish offices in major cities.
In other words, the current situation of car purchasing within provinces across the country will be broken by the Red Star Factory.
In the past, when people wanted to buy a car, the province’s automobile manufacturing vehicles would be the first choice for all units because the indicators were also there.
Now the Red Star Factory has come up with a new trick: the car will be delivered to your doorstep. You don’t have to wait, and you don’t even need a quota. You can just pick up the car with cash. Isn’t that awesome?
Beijing Second Automobile Works obtained the light truck production line equipment from the project between the steel rolling mill and Beijing Second Machinery Plant.
This equipment was manufactured based on the assembly line that was being built in Gangcheng.
In other words, even if they cannot achieve the abnormal production efficiency of the Red Star Automobile Manufacturing Plant, their vehicles will not be too slow to roll off the production line.
The transportation market in Beijing will be saturated sooner or later, in two years at most. What will happen after two years?
Therefore, Gu Litong had a good plan to make use of the steel rolling mill's automobile distribution capabilities.
Li Xuewu did not agree to him directly, but said that he would report to his superiors and study the matter.
"I'm sorry, boss, I..."
Seeing her leader hang up the phone, Zhou Yao was about to apologize, but before she could finish her words, Li Xuewu raised his hand to stop her.
"Help me get the Wei San Group, I am Li Xuewu"
He asked for the phone again, looked at Zhou Yao and said, "Don't think about taking responsibility as soon as something happens. Apologizing won't solve the problem. Think of a solution."
"Yes, leader, I will find a solution when I get back."
Zhou Yao looked at her leader waiting for a call, but still couldn't help saying: "I will discuss it with the research institute, do some confidentiality publicity for the researchers, and then strengthen the security force."
"Hello? Where? I'm Zhao Zhenhua."
There was an answer on the phone. It was the political commissar's phone number that Li Xuewu wanted.
"Comrade Zhenhua, I am Li Xuewu"
He moved the phone away from his ear. Zhao Zhenhua spoke a little loudly.
"The tractor issue has been settled. The quota from the North China Tractor Manufacturing Plant has been given to our regiment. Please arrange for someone to take over."
"Great! I was just worrying about this! I was thinking about whether I should call you to ask about it."
Zhao Zhenhua's hearty laughter came from the phone, and he said: "Tuan Qi can't wait any longer, so he's taking the soldiers to clean up the corners first."
"This matter has taken a few detours. I'll tell you later. Please arrange for the reception first."
Li Xuewu didn't say much to him on the phone. Now that he had the tractor, he could buy agricultural machinery from the Beijing Machinery Factory.
As for the indicators, what period is it now? Isn’t it convenient for Wei San Group to buy a few sets of agricultural machinery?
After hanging up the phone, Li Xuewu picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea to relieve the dryness in his throat. Then he said to Zhou Yao: "It's up to you what to do. I only look at the results."
“But when dealing with scientific researchers, you have to grasp a certain scale and timing.”
Li Xuewu nodded his head and reminded her: "Their thoughts and enthusiasm are all put into scientific research, and they don't have a thorough understanding of the ways of the world."
"I understand. I will pay attention to this." Zhou Yao understood what the leader meant and said confidently: "We have accumulated certain experience in fire protection and safety publicity."
"Well, I trust you to do your job."
Li Xuewu nodded, moved his teacup away, looked through the documents in his hand and asked, "Have you dealt with last night's incident?"
"I was just about to report this to you."
Zhou Yao said seriously: "According to your instructions, we took statements from everyone involved in the case last night, including the waiter."
"During the investigation, we also learned some information about discipline supervision. This morning I contacted Chief Meng, who will be responsible for the next investigation."
She reported with some hesitation: "According to the suicide note left by Liu Lan and the words scribbled on the wall, she had a special relationship with Director Li, and sent a valuable gift to Director Li through Deputy Director Shi Ruoweng of the Commission Office..."
“Well, the factory has already dealt with it.”
Li Xuewu said without even raising his head: "He was involved in the last case in the city. Shi Ruoweng is still undergoing labor reform in Gangcheng."
"Yes, we are aware of this situation and have verified it with Director Li."
Zhou Yao reported: "Director Li said that he had never received any watch. The last time it was the deputy director of the division who caused a misunderstanding, and he also dealt with the matter."
"What was Liu Lan's request at that time?"
Li Xuewu looked up at her and said, "Was her going to the guesthouse to see Director Li an independent incident, or was she instructed by someone?"
"According to our investigation, this should be an isolated incident, which may be related to the setbacks she encountered at work."
Zhou Yao replied: "Because of the impact of that case, Liu Lan's position as director of the office cafeteria was removed and she was assigned to the health service team."
"She must have had a conflict with a colleague recently, which brought up some topics that she particularly cared about, and this intensified her extreme thoughts."
Zhou Yao did her work very carefully. Not only did she investigate the conflicts that occurred that night, she also investigated the conflicts in Liu Lan's relationships with her colleagues.
We even looked into her family conflicts and tried to give a comprehensive explanation and description of the case.
"After Chai Yongshu was executed, Liu Lan raised three children alone and no longer has the same treatment as before. She is now under a lot of pressure."
Zhou Yao paused when she said this, looked at Li Xuewu and said: "Her request to Director Li is that she wants to go back to the cafeteria, no matter which one."
Li Xuewu paused as he was writing comments. He already knew what Liu Lan was thinking.
It's nothing more than returning to the cafeteria, returning to the familiar environment, and also wanting to get extra food for the children at home.
Zhou Yao also felt this way. For the sake of her child, even if a mother did something wrong or made excessive demands, she should not be punished with death.
Liu Lan said that she had a special relationship with Director Li. Zhou Yao knew that this kind of thing was pointless and impossible to investigate.
Liu Lan is already dead, so Director Li will confess this? You must be kidding!
Even the gift-giving matter was taken care of by Shi Ruoweng alone, so who should we go and investigate?
It would be fine if Liu Lan really handed the watch to Director Li personally.
Although this matter cannot be checked, Zhou Yao has already believed it, especially since the dance team's captain Zhou Miaomiao was there last night.
The reports she made on the phone and in documents were certainly not so explicit, but the situation on the scene was still somewhat unbearable to watch.
The reason why Liu Lan was so excited was also due to Zhou Miaomiao's verbal provocation and Li Huaide's indifferent attitude.
The security personnel at the guesthouse did not treat either party favorably.
But Liu Lan made the matter public and knew that Li Huaide would not let her go. With so many people watching, she decided to fight to the death.
Otherwise, this woman is extremely stupid.
The matter of the watch was one thing, the matter with Li Huaide himself who was just fighting for those leftovers was another thing, and this time risking his life was another thing.
Think about it, what would happen to her three children if she died? Who would be able to support them?
Since she had such a relationship with Li Huaide, it was okay if something went wrong in giving her the watch and made Li Huaide angry. Old Li didn't dare not take care of her.
She didn't intend to send that kind of watch, she just meant well but ended up doing something bad.
Arranging her to join the service team now will also help eliminate the impact of this incident, otherwise people will always talk about it in the cafeteria.
Even if she wanted to ask Li Huaide to transfer her position, she didn't have to do it in front of so many people and block the way at the guesthouse. Could this be done?
Even if Lao Li is a despicable person, he would not admit that he has a relationship with her in front of so many people. He should transfer her to another position.
If what she said is true, then it would be like covering one's ears and stealing the bell.
Even if she went directly to his office to find him, he would not reject her with a cold face.
So, when Liu Lan risked her life, she was not risking her life against Li Huaide, but against herself and her own destiny.
I'm unwilling to lose my golden rice bowl!
But what will happen if you lose this golden rice bowl?
Just like Jin Yaohui, is it worth dying?
It's not that serious, I just can't think straight for the moment.
"What did Director Li say?"
Li Xuewu looked at her and asked, "Have you reported this to the HR and Publicity departments?"
"Yes, the HR and Publicity Department have contacted the union and will handle the aftermath."
When Zhou Yao heard what Li Xuewu said, she knew what the outcome of the matter would be.
In fact, she also understood that the main reason for this case was not Li Huaide, but Liu Lan herself.
"Director Li asked that the funeral be handled properly and the adverse effects be eliminated as soon as possible."
"Then do as the leader says"
Li Xuewu's gaze returned to the document and he said, "Explain the leadership's opinions clearly to the union regarding the three children."
"Understood, Boss, I'll go right away"
Zhou Yao understood that it would be fruitless to pursue the case with Director Li, so it would be better to use Director Li's words to get better treatment for Liu Lan's three children.
As for whether Director Li meant this or not, if she conveys it, will the union go to Director Li again to ask?
Now regarding this case, I'm afraid Li Huaide is only willing to listen to her report. No one else dares to touch this landmine.
Even if someone reports to Director Li in the future, saying that she took care of Liu Lan's three children, how can Director Li hold her accountable?
She followed the leader's instructions to properly handle the aftermath and eliminate any adverse effects.
-
They said they would eliminate the adverse effects as quickly as possible, but they still occurred.
During lunch, the atmosphere in the office cafeteria was a bit weird, with constant whispers and rumors flying around.
Li Xuewu didn't go to look for anyone, nor did he go to the private room on the second floor. He just found a table on the first floor, sat down, and ate his meal peacefully.
But it was strange, there was still noise when he came in, and there was discussion behind him when he was getting his meal, but as soon as he sat down, there was no sound at all.
In the cafeteria, the cadres above the deputy section level lowered their heads while eating. Although they still communicated with each other through eye contact, they were cautious in their words.
"Alone? What happened today?"
Yu Shui sat opposite him with a lunch box in her hand. As she spoke, she picked up the barbecued meat from his lunch box and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Why didn't you go upstairs?"
"You have meat in your lunch box, why are you grabbing mine? The meat in my lunch box smells so good."
Li Xuewu pulled the corner of his mouth, glared at her, and thought to himself, I want to go upstairs! Press it for me? !
Seeing how stingy he was, Yu Shui deliberately rolled her eyes and took several pieces of roast pork from her lunch box and gave them to him, as if she was waiting for him to be dissatisfied so that she would have a reason to give him meat.
"Here, here, here! I'm eating a piece of your meat like it's Tang Monk's flesh. Why are you so stingy?"
"Where can I find Tang Monk's meat? I only have a few pieces of roast pork!"
Li Xuewu was like a kindergarten kid when dealing with her, haggling over every little bit: "Do you think my brother is a cook? It's just two pieces of meat!"
"Hey! You're just blaming me for something else, right?"
Yu Shui raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't believe my brother can give you less meat!"
"Heh - your brother is not in good shape today except for you!"
Li Xuewu rolled his eyes and reminded: "Don't mess with your brother, be careful or he will get angry with you."
"What does it have to do with him? Liu Lan?"
Yu Shui frowned and leaned forward to ask softly, "Does my brother have that kind of relationship with Liu Lan?"
"Stop insulting your brother. What if he's not your biological brother?"
Li Xuewu tapped the lunch box with the tip of his chopsticks and said, "It's not good for old colleagues to show concern for each other. You need to improve your thinking!"
"Coward! Brother, I know him better. Liu Lan came to see him before!"
Yu Shui curled her lips and said, "When I got home, I saw two people talking in the house. I don't know what they were talking about, but it was definitely not serious."
"I'm not spreading lies—"
Yu Shui poked her head out and whispered, "They all say that the watch Liu Lan gave to Director Li is evil and can kill people."
"Who said that? Isn't that nonsense?" Li Xuewu curled his lips and said, "There were many people who took physical evidence during the investigation. Are they all dead?"
"Anyway, it's not me who said it. I heard it from you. Believe it or not."
Yu Shui ate rice and said, "They said that when Liu Lan delivered the watch, Jin Yaohui was with Shi Ruoweng, and then a series of people got into trouble."
She counted: "Chai Yongshu who took the watch died, Jin Yaohui who touched the watch died, Shi Ruoweng suffered, and now Liu Lan is also dead."
“Nonsense, it’s ridiculous”
Li Xuewu shook his head and emphasized: "Chai Yongshu died because he killed someone, Jin Yaohui committed suicide out of fear of punishment, Shi Ruoweng brought it upon himself, and as for Liu Lan..."
When he said this, he paused, sighed and said, "It's just an impulsive act."
"It has nothing to do with Director Li?"
She was just looking for fun, and raised her eyebrows and said, "You didn't check it out, did you? Liu Lan is on the wall..."
"Well, the case is given to you, go and investigate."
Li Xuewu glanced at her and said, "If you want to find out the truth, I will step down and let you be in charge of the Security Department from now on."
"Speak!"
Seeing that what he said didn't sound like a lie, Yu Shui curled her lips and said, "Suddenly a living person died, the factory must have an explanation, right?"
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Stop gossiping with them and don't even listen to them."
Li Xuewu glanced at her and said, "If you listen to it, and it gets out, you will be implicated and said to be the suspect."
"understood--"
At this time, Yu Shui still listened to the advice, could distinguish good words from bad words, and knew the weight of Li Xuewu's words in the Red Star Factory.
Li Xuewu glanced at the atmosphere in the restaurant, and finally landed on Yu Shui's face and asked, "How's the blind date going?"
"It's none of your business!"
The rain, which had been as obedient as a donkey just now, now became like a fried chicken. After being asked by Li Xuewu, it seemed as if it was going to jump up and bite people.
She glared at Li Xuewu with resentment and said, "Don't mention the word blind date to me, I'm annoyed."
"I'm spoiling you, so why don't you tell me?"
Li Xuewu ate rice with roasted meat and asked gloatingly, "You don't like him, or he doesn't like you?"
"Did you eat too much meat?"
Yu Shui glared at him, then used her chopsticks to pick up the meat she had just taken from Li Xuewu's lunch box.
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and said: "Well, it doesn't look like you don't like her, it looks like she doesn't like you."
After saying that, regardless of the rain and glaring at her, he nodded and comforted her: "Don't worry, take your time to look. You are so outstanding, you will definitely find the right person."
"Can you help me find one?" Yu Shui narrowed her eyes and said, "You know me so well, why don't you think of finding one for me if you have a suitable one?"
"I don't have anything suitable, let me talk about it!"
Li Xuewu emphasized: "I don't know anything about dating, let alone how to teach others how to date or how to help you find one."
"Is there a single word of truth left in your mouth? You even lied to me?"
Yu Shui rolled her eyes and said, "I don't care. Since you asked, help me find a partner within this month."
"How is my son?" Li Xuewu curled his lips and said, "My son is the only young man I know who is not married yet."
"Go to hell! You are willing, but your son is willing too!" Yu Shui pouted because of his teasing, and glared at him and said, "You want to take advantage of me!"
"It doesn't matter. She's a child bride. If she's three years older than you, she'll bring you gold bricks. If she's thirty years older than you, she'll bring you the kingdom."
Li Xuewu said with a wicked smile: "I will tell your brother tomorrow, and then you can go home to serve my son."
"Pah—you're only thirty!"
"What are you going to do tomorrow? My brother is right there, just tell him where you are going!"
Yu Shui stiffened his neck and said: "If you dare to say it, I will go, and then I will call you father-in-law."
"Eunuch, where is Madam——!"
Li Xuewu twisted his mouth and said: "Why don't you just call me dad, it will sound better."
"Okay, I don't care!"
Yu Shui was really willing to give it her all. She looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Don't regret it. I'm going to call you dad now. If you don't recognize me later, I'll go to Uncle Li to reason with you!"
Li Xuewu took a piece of the roasted meat from her lunch box with chopsticks and said with a smile: "It's useless to look for Li Shu, she has no right to interfere in my sister-in-law's affairs!"
"I'm so mad! Why are you so poor?"
Thank you all for your monthly ticket support, you are so fierce, you kicked me from more than 130 directly to the door of 100! Thank you so much, I have no way to repay you, I can only write well to repay your kindness!
