August in Beijing is the hottest time of the year.
It has accumulated the heat of the dog days that started in mid-July, and this heat seems even more oppressive.
Perhaps only in September will we be able to welcome the cool breeze again and replace it with the heat of being exposed to the sun.
So, it's not just Tokyo that's hot.
At Beijing Railway Station, a minibus departed from the platform passage.
Although it did not take up the boarding and alighting time of ordinary passengers, a group of passengers wearing standard white and black uniforms carrying luggage got off the bus and boarded the bus, which still attracted the attention of passengers on the platform.
The bus body had the painting of the unit it belonged to, so they knew that this group of people came from the Red Star Rolling Mill.
Visitors from the capital are certainly no strangers to the Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant, and even some tourists from other places have heard of the name of the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant.
Needless to say, Comet motorcycles have indeed created a fashion trend all over the country.
Since trial production began in May, Hongxing Factory has contacted distribution channels across the country.
Needless to say, Jingcheng, Gangcheng, Jinmen and Yingcheng have branch factories and secondary branches, which have unique advantages.
The two offices in the first phase, Bianjiang and Yuezhou, have already carried out pre-order warm-up and product distribution promotion.
The five second-phase offices established in May, including Jicheng, Fengcheng, Changshan, Greentown, Chang'an and Quzhou, also carried out publicity as planned.
The third phase of offices in the preparation stage, Bingcheng, Yangcheng, Jincheng, Lincheng, Quancheng and Chuncheng are also making purchase and sales contacts.
Other channels include joint units, supply chain system units, brother units within the industrial system, etc.
In July, the debugging of the assembly line equipment was completed, and the Red Star Factory's Comet motorcycle was officially mass-produced.
With the expectations of distribution systems across the country, this motorcycle, priced under 500 yuan, was officially launched on the market.
The daily production capacity of 260 units simply cannot meet the needs of the supply and marketing market.
The Hongxing Factory had no choice but to take the lead in launching the three-shift industrial model at the motorcycle manufacturing factory in Gangcheng.
In the early stages of production, the production capacity can basically be maintained at around 600 units, which is due to the large amount of motorcycle accessories stored in the early stage.
According to reports from the person in charge of the motorcycle factory, although they are currently stepping up ordering of accessories, due to the production time limit of the supply chain system, it is expected that production capacity will have to be reduced in September this year.
No one can say for sure how long the market's popularity for Comet motorcycles will last.
We started announcing the product last year, started laying the groundwork for sales in March this year, and started preheating in May.
Li Xuewu has done everything he can do for the sales of Comet Motorcycles.
This includes contacting the Beijing supply and marketing system and preparing to establish a direct supply and marketing network affiliated with the sales office.
Nowadays, this kind of motorcycle can be seen very frequently on the streets of Beijing, whether it is purchased with a ticket or with internal qualifications.
Even Li Xuewu, who is in charge of sales coordination, dare not say whether the popularity will subside by September.
If it cannot be reduced, there is nothing we can do. Currently, motorcycle manufacturers are trying their best to increase production capacity.
But there is still no inventory. The motorcycles produced every day will be loaded onto trains or trucks and shipped to all parts of the country after they roll off the assembly line.
The Trade Management Center takes over the processing of some online sales orders. You heard it right, online.
After the internal supply and marketing network of the trade management platform tested the quality of Comet motorcycles, some units organized collective car buying activities.
In other words, a unit within a certain platform has approved the motorcycle, including the employees of that unit.
Either in the name of public-to-public procurement of welfare goods, or in the name of collective purchase and sale, large quantities of such motorcycles are purchased.
Of course, Red Star Factory is willing to do this kind of business, which saves a lot of distribution costs and reduces transportation costs.
However, Li Xuewu was still cautious when approving the online distribution plan contract submitted by the sales office.
He is not opposed to developing online distribution channels, but requires sales offices to ensure that all distribution outlets and offline physical demonstration stores across the country have quotas.
Comet Motorcycles must achieve normal distribution and development through multiple channels without causing channel losses.
If we all rely on trade management platforms to achieve distribution, then what is the point of having offline physical stores?
Of course it’s a guarantee of quality and service!
Hongxing Factory only has a few joint units in Sichuan Province. If the motorcycles are sold to other people, what will happen to the repair and maintenance?
At present, Hongxing Factory’s distribution outlets across the country are not yet capable of achieving full coverage.
Therefore, Comet motorcycles sold very well, and Li Xuewu also demanded that the motorcycles sell better and last longer.
During the investigation at the Jinmen office, he had learned about the market's feedback on this motorcycle from business reports.
At the same time, we also learned about the feedback from motorcycle manufacturers, that is, colleagues in the industry.
In the current motorcycle production field, which generally relies on imported and imitated 250CC displacement motorcycles, Hongxing Factory went in the opposite direction and used the supply chain system to produce 50CC displacement motorcycles.
The price was even lowered to less than 500 yuan. As a result, these manufacturers complained endlessly.
It is also a motorcycle. Of course, the 250CC displacement is more powerful, but compared to the high fuel consumption, complex repair and maintenance costs, the Comet motorcycle is more cost-effective.
Let’s not mention the price of less than 500 yuan for the moment. Let’s just say that the lightweight motorcycle can be carried by an adult.
This is unimaginable for a bulky 250CC motorcycle.
It is common for people to be trapped under motorcycles in car accidents and unable to get out.
Even if there is no accident and the motorcycle falls over, you will not be able to climb out because it is too heavy.
Now that the comet has come out, mobile sectors including electricity, postal services, communications, etc., which do not require much power, have chosen to change their original procurement plans.
Even those who already have motorcycles in their units choose to coordinate the sale and then purchase Comet motorcycles.
It’s a very simple truth. Even women can ride motorcycles, and they are also extremely fuel-efficient. Who wouldn’t love them?
------------------
In just the first month of Comet's mass production, many motorcycle manufacturers approached the Red Star Factory.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The most honest company to participate in the Auto Parts Supply Chain Conference and the most honest party to participate in negotiations after the meeting must be the motorcycle company.
Red Star Factory took out Comet and forced them to no longer think about changes or join the Red Star Factory's supply chain system.
At present, Comet Motorcycles is limited by production capacity and has not yet achieved the influence to dominate the national motorcycle sales market.
But in major cities, even cities without Red Star factory offices have Comet motorcycles on the streets.
And the residents of big cities have the spending power for such cheap scooters.
Therefore, there is no need to wait for Comet motorcycles to be sold all over the country. Those motorcycle manufacturers have already become afraid and surrendered.
Either prepare cash, accept the production model and transformation guidance of the Red Star Factory, purchase and replace it with assembly line equipment, build a parts warehouse, and join the supply chain system.
Either gradually stop producing existing products, use production equipment to accept orders from the supply chain system, and do OEM production.
It can be said that Hongxing Factory's testing of the motorcycle manufacturing field opened up the situation for the automobile manufacturing field.
The sales office of Hongxing Factory organized a visit to the Steel City for participants of the supply chain conference.
Not only did I see the automobile industry production line, but I also saw the motorcycle assembly line that has achieved mass production.
The reason why Comet's production capacity is limited to more than 600 units is because other models of motorcycles are still being produced on the assembly line.
Including 100CC, 250CC, 500CC.
Therefore, the Hongxing Factory, which can quickly produce multiple models of motorcycles in one line, is unrivaled.
Not only motorcycle companies are afraid, but also automobile industry companies are afraid.
This trick has been very effective in frightening the monkeys. For more than a month, the Trade Management Center has been conducting negotiations and signing ceremonies every day.
All the preparations for the signing ceremony were even kept in a conference room, which really became an assembly line.
Fulfilling the contract requires professional guidance and inspection teams. For this reason, Hongxing Factory specially dispatched professionals to conduct systematic training.
Including engineers, technicians, accountants, managers, etc.
During the implementation process, the retrofitted industrial plant will need to bear the team’s travel expenses.
Li Xuewu is a conscientious head of the brother units. He does not require these units to bear the wages of team members.
After all, we are brothers and we have to get along well in the future. How can we learn how future generations of brats will deal with us?
However, the formation of this kind of professional team has greatly promoted the ongoing personnel reform work of Red Star Factory.
------------------
Why? What is the relationship between the two?
A guidance team requires at least forty or fifty people, and a project takes at least half a year from start to finish.
A behemoth like the No. 17 Factory would never have been completed without 3,578 years.
Therefore, in this automotive industrialization revolution, the Red Star Factory can output at least 2,000 technical personnel.
What does 2,000 people mean?
Hongxing Factory currently has 90,000 employees, including 16 companies that are being merged and Fengcheng No. 1 Machinery Factory that has completed the merger and is currently being digested.
Are 2,000 people with multiple technical skills selected from 90,000 people to participate in this project?
Wrong!
It was the Red Star Factory that created 2,000 time-limited jobs invisibly.
Although these positions are time-limited, these positions actually have real labor results and can produce real economic benefits.
Is there no need to pay to receive guidance from the technical team?
Of course, if necessary, Li Xuewu could waive the wages of the other party's employees, but he would never support his brother's unit in reforming for free.
Therefore, these two thousand technical team positions will be maintained for a long time.
During this period, Red Star Factory will continue to select and promote outstanding talents from the guidance team to appropriate positions in the factory.
At the same time, employees with development potential will also be replaced into the guidance team.
It is the technical transformation unit that pays the Red Star Factory to help and guide industrial transformation, and it also assumes the responsibility of helping the Red Star Factory train cadres.
Of course, they do this entirely voluntarily.
There is no way to say whether you want to volunteer or not, because the guidance team is selected by the Red Star Factory.
Including agency personnel and grassroots personnel, those who have no development potential and cannot meet production needs will go to the labor force.
If there is potential for development and training, but currently there is no suitable position arrangement in Hongxing Factory, go to the technical department to guide the team, or the sales office, trade management center, etc.
Of course, it cannot be said that those who join the labor force are all employees who have been eliminated by the times.
Hongxing Factory is improving and formulating the engineering team management model to promote the labor team to establish an engineering construction branch next year.
With 90,000 employees, the number of employees at the Red Star Factory will reach its peak by the end of this year.
The decision-makers of the factory management committee must fully consider the hematopoietic ability of the Red Star Factory and ensure that these people can be assigned to appropriate positions and put to their best use.
At the Jinmen office meeting, Li Xuewu mentioned that the vice president of Sichuan Automobile asked about the profitability of the trade management center.
Of course he would not tell the other party the real situation, let alone only a dime as he said.
The profit of the Trade Management Center is the main economic pillar supporting the construction of the Red Star Factory in the next three years.
In other words, this office responsible for domestic and foreign trade handles all economic sources of the Red Star Factory except the normal budget.
------------------
Of course, starting from this year, Red Star United Savings Bank will gradually become another new growth point for Red Star Factory to achieve external and internal profits.
Sister Xie, that is, Xie Lanzhi, the president of United Savings Bank, went to Tianjin to investigate.
I came here in a hurry to meet Li Xuewu. I am really busy and really care about the establishment of Jinmen Branch.
As the first cadre to break out of the Red Star Factory's organizational structure, she has the same opportunities as Dong Wenxue.
It is even better than Zhuang Cangshu's advantage. After all, the original leader of the Trade Management Center was Li Xuewu.
Even now, the Trade Management Center has been handed over to Jing Yunong.
You see, United Savings Bank is also led by Jing Yunong, but the meaning and form are completely different.
The Trade Management Center has both trade and economic characteristics and is managed by two departments.
One is the sales office, which as the competent unit is the administrative unit of the trade management center.
The other is the economic and trade leading group office with Li Huaide as the team leader and Li Xuewu and Jing Yunong as deputy leaders.
Although Jing Yunong also exists in the Economic and Trade Office, its role in guidance and policy planning requires more from the Trade Management Center.
Importantly, the Trade Management Center has no in-plant administrative authority.
This is not the case with Union Savings Bank, which has a more simplistic business form.
As a joint bank, it has a complete administrative management system, and even Jing Yunong, as the leader, cannot interfere with its internal administrative arrangements.
In the position of president, Xie Lanzhi's power far exceeds that of Zhuang Cangshu, and her equal is indeed Dong Wexue.
Therefore, facing the board of directors-like organization established by Red Star Factory and Dongcheng Credit Union, the greater the rights Xie Lanzhi enjoys, the greater the responsibilities and the greater the pressure she assumes.
This year we will complete the construction of the Beijing head office, and also complete the construction of the Jinmen branch, the Jingcheng branch, and the Gangcheng branch.
Next year, the development of United Savings Bank in several major cities such as Yingcheng, Jicheng, Fengcheng, Bingcheng, etc. will expand with the construction of Hongxing Factory business outlets.
Only by investing in, building and operating more branches can we service trade more extensively, absorb savings, and carry out economic activities.
Only by carrying out wider economic activities can money beget money and bring greater economic benefits to Red Star Factory.
------------------
In the next three years, the Red Star Factory must fully absorb and accept these 90,000 people to meet their survival and welfare benefits within the Red Star Factory.
And three years later, more than 10,000 of them were handed over to the newly built steel rolling mill of Jingcheng Industrial.
On the basis of fully releasing the production capacity of the Red Star Factory, the other 80,000 people implemented a three-shift working system to strengthen and accelerate production construction.
At the same time, multiple professional factories and branches should be established to support the Red Star Factory, especially construction companies.
Red Star Factory is seeking more joint ventures to participate and incubate more projects.
Because with the attitude of a snake swallowing an elephant, in order to achieve promotion and groupization in three years, we must avoid the risk of being overwhelmed.
Allied industries and tertiary industries should accept more workers and carry out more industrial production projects.
The industrial ecosystem and integrated industrial zone created by Steel City are prepared for these people.
Hongxing Factory has so many good projects, why not do it yourself?
The first is lack of money, and the second is the large number of people.
The emergence of any hot product will encourage the entrepreneurial development of Red Star Factory and support the credibility of the corporate brand.
The motorcycle project received 5 million yuan of investment, and the automobile project also received 5 million yuan of investment.
Has all the money been spent on projects?
Of course not, this is just money from Red Star Factory selling joint venture qualifications, which can also be understood as shares.
Dongcheng Credit Union received the original shares. Although it invested at a premium, the popularity of Comet Motorcycles has naturally given it enough self-confidence and generous returns.
There are cases of successful investment by Dongcheng Credit Union. Hongxing Factory will also receive financial and resource support for other projects.
As long as the products made by Red Star Factory continue to be popular and snowball, the assets and business scale will become larger and larger, and the capital chain will become more and more abundant.
Persist for three years and give Red Star Factory three years to slowly consume the elephant in its belly. After three years, Red Star Factory will be an elephant.
By then, the number of employees of 70,000 to 80,000 people will definitely be affordable, and these 70,000 to 80,000 people can be used to leverage more industrial production benefits.
------------------
The hurricane called Comet that blew from the Red Star Factory from the beginning of the year to the middle of the year, and then from the middle of the year, has not passed, but a hurricane called Antelope has arisen again.
Compared with Comet, which is a flirtatious and mean-spirited woman, Red Star Antelope, as an iconic product of the automobile industry, appears to be more stable.
While Li Xuewu was visiting Steel City and Jinmen for investigation, the good news of the experimental mass production of Antelope came from the automobile manufacturing plant in Steel City.
This car that has been promoted by Red Star Factory since last year is finally coming to the market.
Yes, experimental mass production.
Affected by the production pressure during the mass production of Comet motorcycles, the automobile manufacturer has made more adequate preparations.
In the early stage of debugging equipment and conducting trial production, more than 100 units were secretly produced and put into the market for testing.
After getting good market response and evaluation, we can start to prepare for mass production more fully.
Reserve more parts, train more employees, enrich and simplify industrial work area management, etc.
For experimental mass production, the automobile manufacturer immediately implemented a two-shift working system.
The daily production capacity has been increased to 240 units. If the market can quickly consume this production capacity, the automobile manufacturer will implement a three-shift working system.
Automobile production lines need better workers, who are younger, have more physical strength and mental concentration, have training potential, and have faster execution capabilities.
Once the assembly line is opened, the work area and working hours must be strictly controlled. Workers cannot work too slowly and follow the car, otherwise things will get messy.
Older workers can make car parts, but they will never be able to keep up on the assembly line. This is physical work as well as technical work.
Therefore, in this era, when cultivating an employee who cannot be fired easily, or when the requirements for job skills and conditions are relatively high, automobile manufacturers must carefully consider whether they need to meet production capacity needs.
If the market's receptive capacity plummets and the training of so many workers is wasted, there will undoubtedly be only a loss in job relocation.
Therefore, the production capacity of 240 cars per day has already exceeded the production capacity of the Beijing Automobile Plant. Will it be accepted by the market?
------------------
"Except for special application vehicles and small buses, all official vehicles in the factory have been replaced by Antelopes."
The person responsible for picking up Li Xuewu and his party was Zhang Shicheng, the new director of the External Liaison Office of the Administrative Committee Office.
That is, Cheng Kaiyuan's secretary in the courtyard, he is in charge of Sha Qizhi's class.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "When I came out this morning, I applied for a car with the leader, and the deputy director of the division also mentioned about your car."
Zhang Shicheng and Li Xuewu sat in a row and reported with a smile: "The command vehicle you are using now is not suitable."
"Um--"
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Thank you, deputy director of the division, for your concern. I really haven't thought about this problem."
"I still understand you better."
Zhang Shicheng smiled and said: "I have seen that car. It has more professional equipment, but it is modified after all."
"And, as the designer of the Red Star Antelope, maybe you should set an example?"
He used a question here, which seemed very funny. When Li Xuewu smiled, he also laughed.
"I also heard that Director Li once approved a Volga M24 to you, but you rejected it, right?"
"Well, it doesn't count as rejection."
Li Xuewu looked at the scenery outside the window. Hot air was blowing in through the windows, especially at this time when passenger car technology was immature and the road conditions were very bumpy.
He paused and explained: "That quota was given to the Tianjin Trade Management Office for use as a vehicle for official receptions."
"I would also like to say that you are noble and upright."
Zhang Shicheng's eyes were sincere and he said with admiration: "If the leader gives me such a good car, I won't be willing to let him go."
"Hehehe——"
Li Xuewu chuckled, looked back at him, and asked, "How are you in your new position?"
He looked at the other person. Instead of being cautious as a secretary, he now looked high-spirited.
"I have to thank Deputy Director Sha for his good job!"
Zhang Shicheng is very good at talking. Of course he knows who Sha Qi is, and he must be grateful at this time.
Of course, the deputy director Sha referred to here is not the original deputy director of the General Office of the Security Department, but the deputy director of the Trade Management Center.
"During the handover, Deputy Director Sha gave me a lot of help and introduced me to the working relationship."
Zhang Shicheng spoke very sincerely, nodding and saying: "After I took over, the team of the Foreign Affairs Office worked smoothly and continued to serve the leaders and the factory. This is my biggest gain."
"Haha, I'm optimistic about you."
Li Xuewu chuckled lightly, not caring that the other party put the leader at the front of the factory among the service targets.
While looking at the other person, he nodded and praised: "You have potential in this area."
Zhou Miaomiao, who was sitting in the back and listening to their conversation, was suddenly startled. Why did these words sound so familiar?
Peng Xiaoli, who was sitting next to her, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was about to fall asleep.
But the conversation between the leader and Zhang Shicheng came clearly to his ears.
This bitch is really like a "Zhongshan wolf", and he will run rampant when he succeeds."
Just after being in power for a few days, he dared to stand up and spread the word for others.
Everyone can see the significance of Shi Ruoweng's return, and why did Li Xuewu choose to go out for research at this time?
Zhang Shicheng has been following Cheng Kaiyuan for such a long time, can't you tell?
Peng Xiaoli knew that he did it on purpose.
Whether it was Cheng Kaiyuan's instruction, or why he and Shi Ruoweng got together, or what hints he got from Li Huaide.
In short, anyone who dared to persuade Li Xuewu to change his car from the very beginning is finally done with his life.
Whether the weak teacher wants to show his kindness or demonstrate, it is quite interesting to use Zhang Shicheng to test Li Xuewu.
In the past few days since he was recalled to the Red Star Factory by Director Li, he and Li Xuewu should not have met yet.
Perhaps he sensed the meaning of Li Xuewu going out for research, including his trip to Yingcheng and Jinmen.
After all, he has been in Yingcheng for more than half a year. Why did Li Xuewu go to Yingcheng?
Another one, Xie Lanzhi, the president of the United Savings Bank, suddenly went to Tianjin to investigate the arrangements.
The profound meaning in this is too great. The weak teacher has gone through the education of labor reform in the camp, and there will be a tremor whenever there is a disturbance.
Zhang Shicheng was arranged to test and eliminate the superficial nonsense. The core purpose was to determine whether Li Xuewu had put him in the target position.
That is: should we kill him?
------------------
"Comrades have worked hard, so I won't say a few words."
Li Xuewu stood beside the bus, looked at the research team and said, "Today is Monday, which is the busiest time in the factory."
"The leader is eager to know the results of our investigation, so I am very sorry."
"Hehehe——"
Everyone has learned from the research schedule that there will be no rest on Sunday, and you will have to continue working when you come back today.
But this can't be blamed on Li Xuewu, after all, the leader also accompanies them to work.
This is the case at this time. Even on Sundays, the factory will organize voluntary labor.
Like cleaning the workshop, refurbishing parts, repairing this and that, there is no serious rest time anyway.
But since the leader has made his words clear and made enough gestures, everyone will naturally give him face.
Li Xuewu saw everyone laughing, then he also smiled and waved his hands, saying: "I'll be in charge once, Saturday!"
"All members of the research team will go back and make it clear to the person in charge. Just say what I said. You will have Saturday off."
After he finished speaking, some of the dozen or so people had not yet reacted, and some had already reacted. Seeing that the others were silent, they half-smiled.
Zhou Miaomiao was more courageous and said with a smile: "The leader means that Saturday and Sunday are two consecutive days off. Is that right, leader?"
"That's right——"
Li Xuewu nodded with a smile and said, "I can't decide my own working days, but I can still decide your working days."
"oh--"
After determining the rest time, these dozen people laughed together, cheered and clapped.
Li Xuewu smiled and nodded to everyone and said: "I have already supplied you with supplies during the holidays, but the research report -"
"Leader, you don't need to tell me, I'll write it now!"
"That's right! Leader, I will definitely sort it out before get off work today!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!...
The crowd all agreed, and after Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hands, they dispersed.
Carrying their luggage and the gifts they bought, they rushed back to their respective office buildings and raced against time to complete the task.
“The comrades are very enthusiastic!”
Zhang Shicheng said with a smile: "In terms of management and inspiration, I want to learn more from you, the leader."
"Although not taking a vacation is also a work and organizational necessity, taking a day off together can be more inspiring and stimulate work enthusiasm."
"Director Zhang, you are already very powerful now," Peng Xiaoli interrupted at the right time: "I have to learn from you in terms of humility."
"Hahaha--"
Zhang Shicheng smiled and shook hands with Li Xuewu, glanced at Peng Xiaoli and said goodbye.
The trap in what he said just now was so obvious that it was inappropriate for Li Xuewu to speak or not.
However, with Peng Xiaoli beside him, it seemed that his words were not aimed at Li Xuewu, but at Peng Xiaoli.
"It's interesting——"
Li Xuewu glanced at the other person's back and said to Peng Xiaoli: "Learn a little bit, look at me."
"Yes, leader——"
Peng Xiaoli curled his lips and looked at Zhang Shicheng's back full of contempt and ridicule.
Of course, the leader didn't ask him to learn from the other party. He just told him to keep an eye on the other party.
Be obedient and listen to the voice. What can Zhang Shicheng learn from him? What can he learn from following the leader?
------------------
"Hello, Deputy Director Li——"
Li Xuewu turned around and was about to go to the main office building to report to Li Huaide when he heard a greeting.
"Oh, Zhou Tan?"
He smiled and nodded, motioned to Zhou Miaomiao who was standing beside him and asked, "Are you here to pick up your partner?"
"yes--"
Zhou Tan pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose with some embarrassment and explained: "I asked for leave from the factory to prepare for the wedding."
He motioned to Zhou Miaomiao and said, "Miaomiao will also ask for leave from the factory. We..."
"No need to invite me. I'll just tell the personnel later."
Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Others have to work on the summary report of the research, so they just went to work today."
He looked at Zhou Miaomiao and said, "Comrade Zhou Miaomiao told me that you plan to register your marriage tomorrow?"
"It's a good thing——"
Seeing Zhou Tan nod, he smiled and said, "Congratulations on your marriage. You have worked hard this time. Please take a few more days of rest during the wedding vacation."
"Thank you, Deputy Director Li——"
Zhou Miaomiao thanked Zhou Tan with a smile, and explained to Zhou Tan: "Deputy Director Li promised me to ask for ten more days of leave for me."
"Ah! Really——"
Zhou Tan glanced at her in surprise, turned back to look at Li Xuewu gratefully and said, "Thank you, leader, for taking care of me."
"I know you arranged for her to do research to take care of us..."
"Why--"
Li Xuewu smiled, waved his hand, and said politely: "I can't help you either, so don't be polite."
He signaled to Zhou Miaomiao and said, "I'm just trying to cheer Comrade Zhou Miaomiao up and encourage him."
"This has been a huge help to me."
Zhou Miaomiao trimmed the hair around her ears and said, "I won't disturb your work. Let's go back."
"Okay, congratulations again."
Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hand. Seeing them leaving, he said to Peng Xiaoli: "Look at me, you should work hard."
"……yes……"
The corners of Peng Xiaoli's mouth twitched, and he resisted the impulse and agreed.
What can he say, that I like your sister and you ask me to work hard?
If I want to tell you, you must first promise not to beat me to death!
Also, let me "learn" from Zhang Shicheng, what should I learn from Zhou Tan and Zhou Miaomiao?
I don't want to learn from them!
------------------
"dad--"
As soon as Li Xuewu entered the hospital, he saw Li Shu running over enthusiastically.
"Dad, I miss you so much——"
"Hey, hey, your dad is here!"
Li Xuewu squatted down funny, touched his daughter's face with his hand and said, "You missed me, but look at me!"
"I-I-I miss you so much-"
Li Shu's eyes were already attracted by the box that Uncle Han moved out from the back of the car.
What I said to my father now was obviously less hopeful and more coping.
Even the words I said about missing you were perfunctory, my little hands were around his neck, and my legs were kicking up to want him to hug me.
How about holding it up?
"I want to see-"
Li Shu was held in her father's arms, stretching her neck to look at the boxes her uncle had moved into the yard.
"It seems that you are not thinking about me, but about delicious food——"
Li Xuewu said regretfully: "Well, since Li Shu doesn't want me, let Uncle Han take all these delicious things home."
"No! I, I miss you-"
When Li Shu heard her father say this, she reluctantly looked away from the car.
She tried her best to be serious, held her father's face in her little hands, kissed him, and said, "I miss you so much."
"Really? I don't believe it-"
Li Xuewu looked at his daughter with pretense of suspicion, pointed to the other side of her face and said, "Unless you kiss dad again."
"MUA——"
Li Shu kissed her exaggeratedly, with a helpless expression as if dealing with her old father, and asked: "Is it okay now?"
"That depends on how you behave in the future."
Li Xuewu pretended to be arrogant and said: "But your performance just now deserves a new toy as a reward."
"Hahaha--"
Li Shu was about to pout because of her father's first sentence, but she laughed out loud because of the second half of her father's sentence.
She pouted and gestured into the room, asking her father to find the new toy he had brought back for her.
"Why did you buy so many things?"
Liu Yin stood in the foyer holding the fat Li Ning. Watching the two men enter the house, she asked, "Didn't you go to Jinmen?"
"It was a gift from a friend." Li Xuewu placed his daughter on the floor of the house and greeted Ji Yuxiu who was waiting at the entrance: "Yuxiu is here."
"Second brother——"
Ji Yuxiu greeted with a smile and took the initiative to help Li Xuewu take the luggage in his hand.
"Knowing that you were coming back today, I came here specially to wait for you."
"You don't come here usually?"
Li Xuewu didn't rush to ask her why she came. If there was something urgent, she could call him in the office.
Another thing, Ji Yuxiu is now a cadre of the branch, so it is very convenient to just pick him up.
"Isn't it usually busy-"
Ji Yuxiu smiled and found an excuse that was not a reason, but she also knew that her second brother would not care about this.
She rarely comes here on weekdays, because she is really busy with work, and with her prospective mother-in-law here, she is also a little afraid of Li Xuewu.
Therefore, I can come here once a month and get together at other times when Li Xuewu and his family return to the courtyard.
"Jingru went to buy soy sauce and will be back soon."
Seeing Li Xuewu glance at the luggage at the door, which Han Jiankun had just brought in, Liu Yin explained.
She gestured to the people upstairs and said, "It's been a tiring day and I won't be able to rest even after returning from a business trip. I'll go wash up and change clothes first."
"Okay, tell Jingru to prepare two more dishes for Yuxiu."
He teased his son and joked at the same time: "I'll save your third daughter-in-law from visiting you."
"How can there be——"
Ji Yuxiu said in embarrassment: "Second brother, just hurt me!"
"Go quickly, make trouble—"
Liu Yin patted her son with a smile and motioned for him to go upstairs quickly, "We'll have dinner when Xiao Ning comes back."
------------------
"You're not going to eat?"
Li Xuewu glanced at his daughter who was still playing with toys on the sofa and reminded her: "Dad is going to eat up all the delicious food."
"Giggle——"
Li Shu couldn't stand her father's squeaking, so she laughed loudly and twisted her body.
She raised the toy in her hand and said, "Dad, I like this."
"Okay, as long as my daughter likes it," Li Xuewu said seriously: "When dad goes to Jinmen for a business trip again, I can buy it for Li Shu, okay?"
"good--"
Li Shu obediently put down the metal tank in her hand, hugged her father's neck and said, "Dad, work hard and try to travel more."
"hehe--"
Li Xuewu was about to be laughed out of anger by his daughter. I am not yet 70 or 80 years old. Are you trying to chase me away?
"Okay, Dad, work hard and try to travel more often, so that Li Shu can miss her dad often, right?"
He carried his daughter to the restaurant, wanting to correct her thoughts, which could be regarded as a positive education of love.
Li Shu did not need his education and maintained her innocence and integrity.
"Dad, actually if you don't buy me toys, I'll miss you all the time -"
She patted her belly to indicate where she was thinking about her father.
"Ah, my daughter is so kind."
Li Xuewu walked into the restaurant and praised with a smile: "In the future, daddy, why don't you have to buy toys for my daughter?"
"Dad, I mean," Li Shu was placed on the dining chair by her father. She tried hard to organize her words and said, "I miss you so much. Are you embarrassed not to buy me a toy?"
"Hahaha--"
Everyone in the restaurant laughed. Liu Yin tapped the tip of her eldest granddaughter's nose and said, "You little clever guy!"
"Well, if you can get your dad in, okay!"
Qin Jingru smiled and gave Li Shu a thumbs up, teasing her: "When you grow up, you might be able to act like a spoiled child."
"Too many eyes -"
After Li Xuewu sat down, he glanced at his daughter with a smile and said, "Who did you learn this from? Can't you just learn from your father?"
"Isn't it enough to think so much?"
Liu Yin knew her son too well, so she joked: "If I continue to learn from you, I'm afraid no one will be able to control him."
"whee--"
Li Shu seemed to know that everyone was talking about her. She smiled and said: "I want to learn. I want to be as beautiful as my mother."
"Oh, that's incredible——"
Ji Yuxiu looked at Li Shu with a smile and said, "Your father asked you to study more with him, and you really learned it."
"If you coax your mother well, no one in this family will be able to control you."
