Chapter 1041 No one!
Leader Du’s tea was good. Li Xuewu only drank one cup and then met Comrade Weide, whom the leader mentioned.
The other party had a look and attitude from the moment he came in, including the middle-aged cadre in green uniform following behind him.
"Comrade Wade, come and introduce yourself."
Leader Du waved his hand and gestured to Li Huaide, introducing him as "Comrade Li Huaide, Director of the Management Committee of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."
"This is Comrade Li Xuewu, deputy director of the factory office."
A leader is a leader, very cultured and magnanimous. Even on such an occasion, he did not forget to introduce Li Xuewu who was sitting next to him.
He did not take Li Xuewu lightly at all, and the switch between serious and casual attitude was not at all inconsistent.
Li Xuewu and Li Huaide looked at each other at the same time, neither saying a word, just waiting for Leader Du to explain the situation.
The other party was obviously more assertive, or wanted to take the initiative, so he introduced himself.
"I am Su Weide, head of the Ministry's Discipline Inspection Group"
He had no intention of shaking hands with Li Huaide, and did not even look in Li Xuewu's direction.
It seemed that in his eyes, a deputy director of a commission office was not worthy of his attention and concern.
"This is Comrade Ding Zhishan, the representative of the branch management committee."
Su Weide introduced the middle-aged man next to him, and at the signal of Leader Du, he sat on the sofa opposite.
Li Xuewu glanced at the two people, then looked at Leader Du meaningfully.
Being so casual and domineering, does he look down on Li Huaide, or does he not take Leader Du seriously?
Or, both?
Today's scene is quite interesting. Representatives of the branch management committee are all here, and it really looks like a gang fight.
Leader Du didn't seem to care about the other party's attitude. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "We've been working all day. Let's stop chatting in the middle of the night."
"Are you here because of Cheng Kaiyuan's matter?"
As soon as Su Weide opened his mouth, he used an attacking tone, as if he was questioning Li Huaide.
Li Xuewu's face changed and he suddenly said: "Leader, we are here to get the investigation results, or an arrest warrant."
"If Deputy Director Cheng's situation has been investigated clearly and the arrest or prosecution procedures have been carried out, it will be convenient for us to go back and make arrangements early."
"Right? Director Li?"
Li Xuewu ignored Su Weide's pale face and looked at Li Huaide and said, "It will also be convenient for our subsequent publicity."
Li Huaide didn't say anything, but looked at Leader Du, waiting for his answer.
But Leader Du just lowered his head and looked at the teacup in his hand without any intention of speaking, and the scene was frozen for a moment.
Bringing the new tea over, Director Han's eyes jumped towards Li Xuewu and narrowed slightly. Then he interrupted while placing the teacups, "Are there any results? I haven't heard about it yet."
Su Weide stared at Li Xuewu for a long time before he said, "Comrade Cheng Kaiyuan...it was indeed us who took him away."
When he answered this question, he emphasized the word "comrade" particularly harshly, as if he was responding to Li Xuewu's trickiness and embarrassment.
"What do you want to know?"
He glanced at Li Xuewu with disdain, looked at Li Huaide and said: "I don't need to elaborate on the procedures of disciplinary and supervisory work to you, you are all senior cadres."
"Do I need someone to teach me what I can and cannot ask?"
"According to you, our factory leader is missing, so we don't need to care or ask questions, and just wait and see, right?"
Li Xuewu responded strongly, looked at the other party sternly and said: "How come I didn't know that the work procedures of discipline inspection include the step of arresting without warning."
"Are you talking to me?"
Su Weide looked at Li Xuewu with a hint of disdain, and then asked, "What qualifications do you have to question me?"
"What a coincidence! I am the head of security supervision at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."
Li Xuewu raised his head slightly and said in a firm tone: "Please communicate with me about the disciplinary and supervisory issues. If you mean that Deputy Director Cheng is under disciplinary and supervisory investigation."
"if not"
He glanced at the other person, looked at Leader Du and said: "Then please ask the organization to give clear reasons for restricting Deputy Director Cheng's actions. We have the right to know more."
"Cough-cough-"
When Leader Du saw what Li Xuewu was saying, he suddenly got angry and coughed twice before putting down the teacup in his hand.
"The nature of disciplinary supervision is that you have to be impatient."
He glanced at several people, nodded slowly and said: "It's all for organizational work and cadre management. It's normal to have opinions and disputes."
"Everyone should calm down and discuss the issue clearly and thoroughly"
Leader Du looked at Li Huaide and said, "I'm here because of Comrade Cheng Kaiyuan's matter. I want to understand the basic situation and give an explanation to the factory."
After saying that, he looked at Su Weide and the other person on the other side and said: "Now that the situation has been controlled, report the specific situation to the responsible leaders within the prescribed scope."
"After all, the comrades at the steel mill are trustworthy, right?"
"Director Du, the situation is not very clear yet"
Su Weide glanced at the two people opposite him and said cautiously: "It is still under investigation."
"Then just say what you can!"
Leader Du was obviously a little dissatisfied. He glanced at Su Weide and said, "Can't we tell the comrades in the factory about the situation after we control the people?"
"Still, there are problems with the comrades in the factory, too, huh?"
He glanced at Li Huaide and Li Xuewu. Both of them were sitting upright with clear eyes, looking like outstanding cadres.
"This one……"
Su Weide hesitated for a moment, but still looked at Ding Zhishan beside him with a questioning look on his face.
Li Xuewu also followed the other party's gaze and looked at the branch management committee representative who had not spoken a word since entering the door.
"Of course we can trust the comrades at Red Star Factory"
Ding Zhishan had been observing the two people opposite him. He smiled slightly and knew that Su Weide could not withstand the pressure from the opposite side, and Director Du could not withstand it either.
So he had to explain: "After all, we have just contacted Comrade Cheng Kaiyuan, and we are still communicating with him and are in the stage of understanding the situation."
"Right, Team Leader Su?"
He glanced at Su Weide and continued, "Comrade Cheng Kaiyuan is currently in good mental and physical condition. We will pay attention to his health."
"Also, about the case handling procedures."
Ding Zhishan picked up the teacup and laughed, saying: "After all, we have to take emergency measures. We haven't given this case any classification. We have to start by understanding the situation."
“Is this what you mean?”
Seeing him drinking tea, Li Xuewu said, "Deputy Director Cheng's question is not clear. He is just cooperating with your investigation, and there is no restriction on his personal freedom?"
"Oh? Um... this... um, it's like this."
After taking a sip of hot tea, Ding Zhishan put down the cup and said slowly: "Our branch management committee has received some problem reports, some of which are about Comrade Cheng Kaiyuan."
"Just like what Team Leader Su said, you are all senior cadres, so you must have some understanding of the organization's investigation work, especially Comrade Li Xuewu, who is in charge of the factory security supervision work, right?"
He did not ignore Li Xuewu, but did not take him too seriously either. He mentioned Li Xuewu's name and continued, "We also value and care about the cadres of the organization, so we are protecting them under the premise of investigation."
"That's why we took this action, right, Team Leader Su?"
Just after Su Weide nodded, he looked at Leader Du and said, "The branch management committee is mainly responsible for this review. After communicating with the Ministry’s disciplinary supervision, our common opinion is to keep the investigation results confidential for the time being and not to report it."
Leader Du understood what he meant, nodded, and looked at Li Huaide with a serious expression. Although he didn't say anything, he had already asked Li Huaide's opinion on the matter.
Li Huaide did not speak either. He tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers, staring at Su Weide and the other man with a frown on his face.
"We want to see Deputy Director Cheng, now"
Li Xuewu understood what Li Huaide meant and took the initiative to say, "Apply for a meeting in the name of Red Star Steel Mill in accordance with organizational procedures."
"I told you, this is an organizational investigation."
Ding Zhishan was very dissatisfied with Li Xuewu's pestering. His attitude suddenly became sharp and he frowned and said, "He can't see anyone until Comrade Cheng Kaiyuan explains the problem clearly."
"Then apply for a meeting with Deputy Director Cheng in the name of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill Management Committee."
Li Xuewu raised his head slightly and said calmly: "If the disciplinary inspection and supervision review is being carried out, then I will apply to the organization for a meeting in the capacity of the head of security and supervision of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."
"you--!"
Su Weide's face turned pale with anger. He stared at Li Xuewu and was about to speak, but was stopped by Ding Zhishan.
"Director Du, I made it very clear."
Ding Zhishan did not get entangled with Li Xuewu, but looked at Leader Du and said: "This case is now in the charge of our branch management committee..."
"Then I will apply to meet with Comrade Cheng Kaiyuan in the name of the director of the branch management committee of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill!"
Li Xuewu slapped the armrest of the sofa and said seriously: "This is not an organizational investigation, not a disciplinary review, and certainly not a case investigation. What are you doing?"
"Who gave you the right to control an organizational cadre without restraint? Who gave you the right to investigate the cadres of the steel mill on trumped-up grounds?"
Li Xuewu turned his eyes to Leader Du and said in a firm tone: "If you want Deputy Director Cheng to cooperate with the investigation, then please make a formal notification according to organizational procedures. If not, we will pick him up tonight."
"Why didn't I know that the steel mill had a branch management committee?"
Ding Zhishan looked at Li Xuewu suspiciously, sizing up his youth, and asked, "What is your status as the director of the branch management committee?"
"Ding... cough-cough-"
Director Han just opened his mouth to remind him, but was pushed back by Li Xuewu's gaze.
"I am the first deputy political commissar and deputy commander of the Third Garrison Regiment."
Li Xuewu took out his ID and slapped it on the coffee table beside him, raised his head and looked at the other party and asked, "Do you want to check it?"
Ding Zhishan's eyes suddenly widened. He was not aware of this situation.
He didn't know when the steel rolling mill had a branch management committee, and he didn't even know that three branches had entered the factory.
Hey! Not to mention that he didn't know, even Li Huaide, the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill Management Committee, who was sitting next to him, was meeting the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill Branch Management Committee for the first time.
However, Old Li was very serious at the moment. He and Li Xuewu had such a tacit understanding that they didn't even need to exchange glances. He said calmly: "Don't get excited, Director Li. The work of our factory branch management committee is going smoothly. It's normal that Director Ding doesn't know."
"Okay Director Li"
Li Xuewu responded and put away his ID under the other party's gaze, but he still said in a tough attitude: "It has been exactly 7 hours since Deputy Director Cheng lost contact."
"We do not demand the rigor and thoroughness of the organization's handling of the case, but we reserve the right to investigate the fairness and procedural nature of this investigation."
"Especially regarding the investigation into Deputy Director Cheng and his entourage, he cannot accept your illegal restrictions without a clear explanation."
“This is our factory’s final opinion.”
"Well, we are bothering Director Du in the middle of the night not to create conflicts, but to solve problems."
Li Huaide said: "Now that I am here, on behalf of the steel mill management committee and 32,000 employees, I must take away a result."
His meaning was even more absolute. Either he would take Cheng Kaiyuan away tonight, or he would go back and tell the truth directly to the factory, make the problem bigger, and expose the other party's handling procedures in the open to public scrutiny.
There is a saying these days: Don't mess with Big Brother the Workers, because not everyone can withstand Big Brother's iron fist.
Since Li Huaide and Li Xuewu dared to sit here, they had the determination to never look back and the attitude that they must solve the problem.
Ding Zhishan always doubted whether the Red Star Factory Branch Management Committee really existed. He also doubted Li Xuewu's identity. How could there be such a young deputy head!
And he’s the first deputy commissioner!
He was suspicious, but because everyone was sitting in Leader Du's office, he didn't dare to confront him and check Li Xuewu's ID.
It’s easy to say it’s fake, but what if it’s real?
Being slapped in the face is a small matter. If he offends Li Xuewu and Leader Du to death, his life will not be easy in the future.
Originally thought that Ding Zhishan's opening words was equivalent to a trump card, but unexpectedly the other party was unsportsmanlike and even threw out a set of spring moves.
He has all kinds of identities, is he a Russian nesting doll?
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Leader Du nodded slowly, looked at them and said: "Since the issue is still unclear and the procedures will take time to deal with, I think we should just leave it at that."
"Comrade Wei De, Director Ding?"
Leader Du mentioned the two of them, and then said: "As I said, you are all working for the organization, for cadre management, and you should understand and tolerate each other, right?"
"That's true. Look, it's almost twelve o'clock."
Director Han stood aside and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Director Du has been busy since this morning. If he doesn't take a rest, he will have to go straight to the early shift."
Looking at the determined eyes of Li Huaide and Li Xuewu, he suggested to Su Weide: "Team Leader Su, do you think we should put this issue aside for now? If there is a need later, you can contact the other party to accept the investigation."
Su Weide was under pressure from both sides. He glanced across and then looked at Director Du. Seeing that his attitude was cold and he looked tired, he had to turn his gaze to Ding Zhishan beside him.
Ding Zhishan had been staring at Li Xuewu and could no longer bear the pressure. He nodded slowly and said, "Let's do this."
He was straightforward and didn't say anything harsh, nor did he say that he would find someone else if there were any problems in the future.
If we really let the tiger go back to the mountains, he won't be able to find any problems. The key point is that he failed to pry open Cheng Kaiyuan's mouth even after seven hours, so there's no hope of getting him to open his mouth in the future.
"Okay, leaders, the problem is solved."
Director Han smiled and held his hand, saying, "Let's hurry up. It'll be the next day soon. There's no need to drag it out for another day, right?"
"Director Du, you should go to bed early."
He turned to Leader Du and said, "I'd like to accompany the comrades from the Red Star Factory on this trip. Is that okay with you?"
"You've worked hard."
Leader Du stood up tiredly by supporting himself on the sofa, shook hands with Li Huaide and reminded him: "Take good care of the Red Star Factory when you go back. Next time I come, I hope it will be General Manager Li who comes to see me."
"I will not fail in my mission"
Li Huaide made this assurance solemnly, while also saying a few words of thanks.
Li Xuewu had completed his mission and now he had returned to his cautious and prudent appearance, as if his sharp edge just now was all acted.
When Leader Du shook hands with him, he smiled, nodded and said: "You are a man of courage and bravery, your reputation is well-deserved, and the young people are really to be feared."
"Thank you for your tolerance and care."
Li Xuewu shook hands with him confidently and calmly, and then saluted.
Leader Du nodded, waved at them and said: "Go, solve the problem thoroughly and don't delay tomorrow's work. I won't see you off."
“Take care”
Li Huaide said his final goodbye, exchanged glances with Leader Du, and then left the office with Director Han.
Su Weide and the other man were already waiting at the elevator entrance, and when they saw them coming, their eyes were a little cold.
However, since the issue had already been discussed, there was no need to waste any more expressions and emotions, and neither party spoke to each other as they entered the elevator.
After leaving the office building, Li Haiyang was still standing next to the Volga M24 sedan waiting. When he saw a group of people coming out, he opened the car door very neatly.
Li Huaide talked to Director Han for a few words before getting into the car with Li Xuewu.
Bang! The car door closed, and Li Huaide finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The dust has settled, luck, luck."
“It is not easy to snatch food from a tiger’s mouth. It is not easy.”
Li Xuewu said this in response to Li Huaide, pulled his hand over and held it, and said with a wry smile: "My palms are full of sweat."
"Haha - I am not the same"
The vehicle started, and the driver, at the reminder of the vehicle in front, followed behind Director Han's Modou brand car. In front of it was an early imported Mercedes-Benz car.
The small convoy of three vehicles gradually accelerated along the internal road of the compound and drove towards the First Ministry of Machine Building Guesthouse.
Li Huaide didn't say anything on the way, but tried to relieve his tense emotions and recover his exhausted energy.
Li Haiyang was very considerate and did not say anything, nor did he disturb the leaders who were resting their eyes behind him.
It was rare for him to stand up at the critical moment and rescue Cheng Kaiyuan with a tough attitude of risking his life, and what was even rarer was that he succeeded so quickly and finally solved the problem.
Being able to bring Deputy Director Cheng back tonight has a very different meaning. At least I can give an explanation to everyone for tomorrow's morning shift.
The journey was not very far and the guesthouse was just ahead. Li Haiyang coughed softly as a reminder.
Li Huaide and Li Xuewu both opened their dry eyes, took a deep breath, and gathered their energy and strength to fight the last battle well.
laugh--
The car stopped in front of the door according to the other party's instructions. Li Xuewu had already seen Deputy Director Cheng's Modou brand car.
But there was no one in the car, no secretary or driver, and it was obvious that the other party was still under control.
Li Xuewu accompanied Li Huaide out of the car and stood next to Director Han.
"Wait a moment, let Team Leader Su make the arrangements."
Director Han stood in front of the door calmly, with no intention of going in.
He took out his cigarette box and offered cigarettes to the two of them, but they were both rejected.
"Why? You have a problem with me?"
Director Han looked at the two of them with amusement, his attitude somewhat amusing.
Li Huaide raised his hand and said, "I quit smoking a long time ago and don't smoke anymore."
“Me too, I quit smoking.”
When Li Xuewu saw Director Han's gaze sweeping over him, he smiled and said, "I'm still young, I can quit early."
"Oh? Is this the new trend in the steel mills?"
Director Han looked at the two of them in surprise and said, "You all want to quit smoking?"
“Haha, not really.”
Li Huaide glanced at Su Weide and Ding Zhishan who walked in, and explained: "I have an always coughing problem, and my wife advised me to quit smoking."
"He is different. Comrade Xuewu just had his eldest son and he is very sad."
"Wow! What a determined man!
Director Han put away the cigarette with a smile and did not smoke it himself.
Seeing that Su Weide and the other man had left, he sighed softly, patted Li Huaide's arm, and said, "Please understand. It's hard to be a leader too."
"I understand, times are tough, let's understand each other"
Li Huaide nodded and said, "The situation is a bit sudden. If it wasn't very difficult, we wouldn't have come to bother Director Du."
"Well, Director Du asked me to make arrangements after hearing your call, but you also know..."
Director Han stood beside Li Huaide and said, "Some problems cannot be solved now and can only be put aside and solved later."
"What can be solved now is to try to handle the relationship between all parties as well as possible. It is not required to be perfect in everything, but it is best to be careful about the degree."
His words seemed to have a hidden meaning, as if he was reminding Li Huaide of something, but he didn't say it very clearly.
After listening to a few words, Li Xuewu silently waved to Li Haiyang, indicating that he should arrange for the driver to drive out Deputy Director Cheng's car.
There is no need to look for the keys specifically, the car keys must be in the car. This is the working habit of the relevant personnel and their drivers after being detained by the disciplinary supervision department, and it is also an unspoken rule.
Li Haiyang called the driver and went to the car to check it carefully, including the interior and the trunk.
"I actually met Deputy Director Li once."
Seeing that Li Xuewu was in command with a calm and steady attitude, Director Han greeted him with a smile and said, "It was at last year's Model Workers' Conference."
"What a shame, I wish I had known you earlier"
Li Xuewu took over the conversation with a smile and said: "It also saves me from asking here and there, and making mistakes in a hurry."
"Director Du rarely says that young people are to be feared."
Director Han smiled and said, "It seems that the steel rolling mill's current success is no accident."
"Director Li is good at uniting people and leading the team well"
Li Xuewu smiled and blocked the other party's words, saying: "People like me are not to be feared. Many outstanding young cadres have emerged in the organizational reform of the steel mill. This is the cornerstone and reason for the steel mill's vigorous development."
"Comrade Wilder, is that true?"
Director Han looked at Li Huaide and raised his eyes and said: "No wonder you are so ambitious and want to achieve the goal of groupization. It seems that you have talented people available and are full of confidence."
“Haha——there is still a long way to go.”
Li Huaide chuckled and shook his head, saying: "I am also having a hard time now, walking on thin ice. I don't even know if I can see the day when the steel rolling mill is transformed into a group."
"That's a bit mysterious, isn't it?"
Director Han also smiled. Seeing the two people fiddling with the car for a long time, they drove the car over and said meaningfully, "Hidden in the dark, a stunning success?"
"Hahahaha - just wait, I'll call for you!"
Li Huaide laughed and said, "Now the steel mill has only taken a step forward, but it has caused so much controversy and trouble."
"I said I don't know if I can see that day. Is that wrong?"
“It’s out—”
Li Xuewu kept his eyes fixed on the interior of the hall. After waiting for such a long time, he finally saw Cheng Kaiyuan.
He could walk on his own, and there was no expression of excessive pain on his face. Although he felt a little numb and tired, he was still doing okay.
The secretary Zhang Shicheng who followed behind him looked a little listless and walked unsteadily, probably because he had received some special treatment.
Only the driver was in the best condition. He supported Zhang Shicheng and looked at this side with lingering fear.
Li Huaide's face turned cold instantly and he stared at Director Han with displeasure.
Li Xuewu took off his coat, walked up to him quickly, and put it on Cheng Kaiyuan before he could say anything.
"No need to say anything, let's go back to the factory first"
He grabbed Cheng Kaiyuan's hand and squeezed it, suppressing whatever he was about to say.
He turned around to look at Zhang Shicheng and asked softly, "Can you hold on?"
"I...I'm fine, Director Li."
Zhang Shicheng's forehead was covered with sweat, and he tried hard to smile with the help of the driver.
He said he was fine, but he fainted as soon as he walked out the door, looking very embarrassed.
Fortunately, Li Haiyang saw the noise and ran over, and together with the driver, he supported Zhang Shicheng who had fallen.
"Arrange him in the car first!"
Li Xuewu frowned and said something to Li Haiyang, then helped Cheng Kaiyuan to Li Huaide.
Director Han looked at him apologetically. At this time, Su Weide and Ding Zhishan were nowhere to be seen, so even if he wanted to ask, he couldn't find anyone.
There were only a few staff members who came out to see us off. There was no need to ask, and even if you did, they would know nothing.
Li Huaide did not lose his temper with Director Han. Instead, he held Cheng Kaiyuan's hand with concern, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, let's go back to the factory first. Comrade Zhifu and Comrade Yunong are waiting for us."
After saying that, he patted Cheng Kaiyuan's hand with tears in his eyes and comforted him: "Comrade Weijie is at home, everything is fine, don't worry."
"Thank you, thank you Director Li"
Cheng Kaiyuan had a lot to say, and finally said only this.
Li Xuewu helped him walk down and got into the Modou brand car.
Li Huaide turned around and shook hands with Director Han, who looked distressed. He didn't want to say anything else and got into his car.
The two cars paused for a moment, then drove out of the guesthouse and headed towards the gate.
In the Modou brand car, Cheng Kaiyuan lay on the back seat and fell asleep after saying just a few words to Li Xuewu.
The first sentence is that I didn’t say anything.
The second sentence is that they are coming for the steel mill.
Li Xuewu did not comfort her any further. If there was anything, she had to go back to the factory to sort it out.
The fact that he got on the car had already shown his attitude, and it also gave him peace of mind. Otherwise, Cheng Kaiyuan, who had just gotten out of the tiger cage, would not have dared to fall asleep.
In the passenger seat, his secretary Zhang Shicheng "woken up" after the car left the guesthouse.
"Deputy Director Li, I have no choice."
He said apologetically: "This is all I can do. I hope I haven't caused you any trouble."
“It’s okay, you did a great job.”
Li Xuewu understood what he meant. This was to put pressure on the other party to prevent it from happening again.
It only takes one time in a lifetime to come in like this without any clear reason. If it happens more than once, you will probably have to retire early.
Li Xuewu doesn't think much of this kind of trick. The other party will just feel some pressure, but if they really want to take action against them, they will not be afraid of such a small threat.
After comforting Zhang Shicheng, he asked softly, "Are you injured? Do you need to go to the hospital for a checkup?"
“No external injuries, but it’s quite uncomfortable.”
Zhang Shicheng said somewhat uncomfortably: "I can still hold on..."
"Okay, I get it"
Li Xuewu patted him on the shoulder, and when he saw that the vehicle was about to leave the compound, he sat up straight.
The two cars drove out of the First Ministry of Machine Building compound one after another. The two jeeps at the gate suddenly turned on their lights, started accelerating, and merged with the convoy.
One car accelerated to the front, while the other car followed behind.
When the car in front passed by Li Xuewu, the window was rolled down and it was Zhou Yao who was waving.
Li Xuewu made a gesture to her to keep quiet, then pointed to the middle of the command vehicle and made a cross with two fingers.
Zhou Yao nodded in understanding, patted the driver on the shoulder, and picked up the communication radio.
The command vehicle overtook the Modou brand sedan and drove straight to the front to clear the way and accelerate.
Four cars were connected one after another, speeding through the night, penetrating the early spring fog, and rushing towards East City.
-
"It finally stopped. I was scared to death."
Seeing Li Xuewu coming down from upstairs, Qin Huairu patted her chest in fear and said, "I prepared noodles for you, have a bite and then lie down."
"Then eat a bite. I'm a little hungry."
Li Xuewu nodded, and Qin Huairu took over his coat on his arm. He frowned slightly and asked, "Have the leaders upstairs eaten too?"
"Director Li's has been delivered."
Qin Huairu replied: "Deputy Director Jing and Deputy Director Xue have already eaten, and Deputy Director Gu asked for a bowl of porridge."
"You should take care of yourself. Sooner or later you will damage your stomach if you keep doing this."
"Alas, I don't want to make trouble, but I can't just let it go my way."
Li Xuewu looked at the time on his wrist and it was already past two o'clock.
"Eat a bite, then go to bed early. Who knows how busy tomorrow morning will be."
"The earth will not turn without you?"
Qin Huairu put her clothes in place, watched the waiter bring the bowl of noodles over, and went to get the chopsticks for him.
"Xiao Jin is on duty, have you eaten?"
Li Xuewu knew the waiters here. He used to deal with them often when his agency ate here.
Xiao Jin replied with a smile: "Hello, Deputy Director Li, I'm waiting to eat the morning meal, otherwise my stomach will feel uncomfortable."
"Drink plenty of water, especially when working night shifts"
Li Xuewu nodded at her and said with a concerned smile: "It will easily damage your skin over time, so be careful not to be able to get married."
"You still care about this?"
Qin Huairu walked over with a smile and said something to him, then nodded to the giggling Xiao Jin, motioning her to go and rest.
He sat down opposite Li Xuewu, placed the chopsticks next to the bowl of noodles, and said: "Eat slowly, it's just cooked. I told Master Liu and he made two eggs for you."
"So extravagant?"
Li Xuewu looked at the two fried eggs under the bowl of noodles. This kind of treatment is not available in ordinary noodle shops.
Qin Huairu smiled and blinked and said: "Director Li said that you have worked hard and made great contributions, so you should be compensated."
"Well, Director Li is just joking, don't believe it."
Li Xuewu reminded her half jokingly and half seriously, picked up the noodles and started eating.
If he stays up late, Li Xuewu will not eat because his stomach also needs rest.
Although he did not rest during this time, his organs had already fallen asleep.
Now he is adding burden to his stomach and his liver is also affected. Sooner or later, it will "take revenge" on him.
But life is all about eating and drinking. If I go till tomorrow morning with an empty stomach, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it.
Although the temperature was very high during the day and I felt hot even wearing a jacket, I didn’t feel that cold after ten o’clock in the evening.
But after midnight, when I walked in the dark again, I felt a different kind of coldness.
After eating a mouthful of noodles, fine beads of sweat started to appear on my back. This is the power of food.
Eating noodles and eggs with noodle soup is both heart-warming and stomach-warming.
"Is Deputy Director Cheng okay?"
Qin Huairu asked with some concern: "Are you still going to deal with this matter tomorrow?"
"It's okay for now. The doctor checked it out and a nurse is here to take care of it."
Li Xuewu's forehead was covered with sweat as he ate. He handed the chopsticks to her and said, "I'll give you an egg. I can't eat it. I'll drink some water first."
"This is for you, just eat it."
Qin Huairu pushed his hand away and said, "You've already eaten, how can you bear to stay up late?"
"Don't let me, I really can't finish it, just pick it up and eat it, I like noodles"
Li Xuewu picked up his water cup and drank a few sips of hot water. When he saw Qin Huairu eating the egg in small bites, he took the chopsticks and ate the noodles.
"Although there's nothing to guard against about what happened tonight, you'd better not tell anyone about it, especially the waiter."
While eating noodles, he reminded: "There are a lot of people staying in the guesthouse now, and they are gossipy. Maybe some rumors will spread, which is not good."
"I know, but you still dare to spread this?"
Qin Huairu nodded and said: "When I received the notice from the Security Department, I reminded the people on duty not to talk nonsense."
"Well, I trust you to do your job."
Li Xuewu raised his head and looked at her with a smile, and asked, "Is everything fine at home? I heard from Qin Jingru that she didn't go home during the New Year."
"Isn't this a reception mission?"
Qin Huairu rubbed her neck and said helplessly: "I do this for a living, how can I have the freedom to find my own time?"
"Besides, there is no holiday during the Spring Festival, so where would the home visit leave come from? This is how we get by."
"Do you think everyone is like Qin Jingru, who has a car to pick her up and drop her off when she wants to go home? You just spoil her."
Qin Huairu glanced at Li Xuewu and said, "Haven't you seen how arrogant my second uncle is? He even dared to sit at the same table and drink with the village chief, just because his daughter went home in a car."
"Why? Your family also wants to drink at the same table with the village chief?"
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Tell Guodong that I will lend you the car, or take you back to my parents' home."
"You're so shabby, I won't sit here."
Qin Huairu pursed her lips and said: "I won't seek attention, and my parents don't need it either. Living a quiet life is better than anything else."
"How about you? How's the child? Is he doing well?"
She took the initiative to ask, "I heard from Aunt Liu that he's getting really fat. Is he easy to coax?"
"I just graduated from the Yueke Department, how can I tell?"
Li Xuewu finished his noodles, drank the soup, wiped his mouth and said: "At this time, I only know how to eat, eat and sleep, sleep and eat. I am happier than anyone else."
"That's right, kid."
Qin Huairu smiled and said: "Banggeng was like this when he was a child. Our family conditions were okay at that time, and I had enough nutrition. He ate like a little stone roller."
"No wonder you're so fat now, you have a good foundation."
Li Xuewu glanced at her "nutrition cabin" with a smile and said, "With this bowl of rice, anyone who eats it will get fat."
"Fuck you! You're so lecherous, you're just saying it."
Qin Huairu said something to him angrily, picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table and said, "Come upstairs quickly, everything is prepared for you, take a shower and go to bed early."
"Okay, I've had enough to eat and drink, so I'm going to sleep."
Li Xuewu propped himself up and stood up. He patted Qin Huairu's butt while she was scolding him, and went upstairs with a smile.
Cheng Kaiyuan's action was indeed a bit sudden, and all the leaders were unprepared. This time the response was timely, accurate, reasonable, well-founded and lucky.
If Li Huaide had been vague and hesitant, even if he had waited until tomorrow to deal with it, the result would probably have been different.
Regardless of whether Cheng Kaiyuan can hold on or not, the steel mill's hesitant attitude will make the other party more resolute.
What matters at this time is not who has the evidence or who has the more powerful words, but patience, attitude and who has more chips in hand.
The steel rolling mill has the potential for promotion and its business is booming, so it is normal for some people to covet it. Even with the incident of Cheng Kaiyuan, Li Huaide did not think it was a surprise.
Of course, Cheng Kaiyuan’s accident was an accident, but he had already expected someone to find fault with him.
Li Huaide even suspected that something would happen to Jing Yunong, Dong Wenxue, and even himself, but he never expected that something would happen to Cheng Kaiyuan.
Jing Yunong has studied abroad and is a serious college student and an educated person. Especially because of the various work styles she displays in her daily work, she is the one who should be attacked the most.
But she remains unmoved and unshakable, and no one is willing to provoke her. It may have something to do with her personality and background.
Dong Wenxue, even though the incident at the steel mill has been dealt with quietly, as long as someone makes a fuss, something bad is bound to happen.
However, Li Xuewu personally set up the plan and handled the aftermath, and Li Huaide believed that Li Xuewu was better than Dong Wenxue, so the probability of Dong Wenxue getting into trouble depended entirely on Li Xuewu.
As for himself, of course he knows best what he has done. Starting from the major learning activities, one by one, if we really want to catch his minor faults, we can't help but clean them up.
Cheng Kaiyuan was different. When he came out of the machinery factory, he had already defined his previous job.
After arriving at the steel mill, Li Huaide guaranteed that he would not give the other party any chance to gain real power and make any mistakes.
No one knows management better than him!
nobody!
