On the way, Xiaoya said: "This is the first time I'm visiting your old leader. I can't go empty-handed. Does he smoke?"
"I used to be a heavy smoker, but I quit now." Qiao Liang replied.
"Oh, it's good to quit. I think you'd better quit smoking too."
"I smoke a few cigarettes occasionally, but I'm not addicted to cigarettes. There's no need to quit."
"Quia." Fang Xiaoya smiled, "Since he quit smoking, how about some tea?"
"Drink. I also like to drink strong tea. I used to have tea leaves given to me, but I think it's too strong now."
"Someone is sending it to me now, so I will."
Qiao Liang laughed: "I'll give it to you later."
Passing by a tea shop, Fang Xiaoya went in and bought two boxes of high-end tongue.
When we arrived at Li Youwei's house, both Li Youwei and Gu Shuyun were at home.
After a brief introduction, Li Youwei expressed his gratitude to Fang Xiaoya for visiting him.
"Brother Li, you are an old leader whom Qiao Liang respects. I am Qiao Liang's best college classmate. It is only right that I come to see you." Fang Xiaoya said.
"Liangzi was implicated because of me. Fortunately, Chairman Fang came to help. I should actually thank you on behalf of Liangzi." Li Youwei said politely.
"Brother Li doesn't need to see the outside world. I can't just sit idly by and ignore Qiao Liang's troubles. Besides, Minister Xu happened to come to Jiangzhou."
"Yes, what a coincidence. I didn't expect you and Minister Xu to be related." Li Youwei said happily.
"Actually, it's not a bad thing for Qiao Liang to suffer some setbacks. Young people just need to beat and beat more." Fang Xiaoya laughed.
Qiao Liang grinned, and Fang Xiaoya sounded like an old man when she said this.
Li Youwei also laughed: "Chairman Fang can lead a large group at such a young age. It is really formidable."
"No, I just took over my father's class. I am young and inexperienced. I hope my seniors can give me more advice." Fang Xiaoya said modestly.
"I am a failed person, and I would never dare to give guidance to Chairman Fang." Li Youwei smiled sadly.
"My little sister disagrees with Brother Li's words. Although Brother Li has suffered a setback in the officialdom, this does not prevent him from being an excellent manager. I learned about Brother Li's career in the newspaper office from Qiao Liang.
Outstanding performance.”
Li Youwei glanced at Qiao Liang, his eyes a little complicated.
At this time, several relatives from Gu Shuyun's natal family came to the Li family, and the living room suddenly became crowded and lively.
Gu Shuyun was busy receiving guests from her parents' family, and Li Youwei invited Qiao Liang and Fang Xiaoya to the study for a chat.
Li Youwei's study room is antique. The bookcase is filled with various books and there is a book on the desk.
Fang Xiaoya picked it up and read it: "Brother Li, are you reading this book "The Effective Manager"?"
"Yes, I have nothing to do to kill time." Li Youwei nodded.
"This book was written by Peter Drucker, the father of modern management. Brother Li is interested in this aspect?" Fang Xiaoya looked at Li Youwei.
"Haha, I have always been interested in it. I have read this book twice, and now I am reviewing it for the third time."
Fang Xiaoya flipped through it casually. There were outlines and comments on many places.
Fang Xiaoya put down the book, sat opposite Li Youwei, and asked with interest: "Brother Li, what do you think of reading this book?"
"In this book, Drucker proposed an important law: the efficiency of managers is often the most critical factor in determining the efficiency of an organization. Therefore, before managing others, you must learn to manage yourself. Drucker also gave
"He learned the 6 characteristics that effective managers should have..." Li Youwei saw that Fang Xiaoya was very interested in this book and became interested in talking.
Fang Xiaoya looked at Li Youwei intently, listened attentively, and interjected questions from time to time.
Seeing that Fang Xiaoya and Li Youwei were having a lively conversation, but the content of the conversation was not interesting to him, Qiao Liang was a little bored, so he left the study. In the living room, Gu Shuyun was having a lively chat with relatives from her mother's family, and she couldn't get a word in.
.
Qiao Liang then came out and strolled casually in front of Li Youwei's house while exercising.
During the activity, the door of Wenyuan's house opened, and Guo Qiang, director of the newspaper's financial center, came out.
Guo Qiang was originally a general accountant in the Finance Center, and was later promoted to director by Li Youwei. He belonged to the core group of Li Youwei's own circle in the newspaper office.
Seeing Qiao Liang, Guo Qiang lowered his head and walked quickly in the opposite direction, wanting to leave quickly.
"Director Guo!" Qiao Liang called him from behind.
Guo Qiang stopped and turned around, pretending to have just seen you: "Hey, Director Qiao, I didn't see you just now."
"Did Director Guo really not see it? Or did he pretend not to see it?" Qiao Liang walked over with a half-smile.
Guo Qiang came out of Wenyuan's house, obviously to give him a gift.
Li Youwei fell, and Guo Qiang defected to the new master.
It was probably not the first time that Guo Qiang came to give gifts to Wen Yuan. Maybe Li Youwei defected to Wen Yuan as soon as he fell.
Qiao Liang felt sad in her heart. The world is so cold and people are very realistic.
Hearing what Qiao Liang said, Guo Qiang was a little embarrassed: "I really didn't see Director Qiao, haha, Director Qiao is here..."
"I came to see Secretary Li. Secretary Li has come out. You are a middle-level member of the newspaper office who was promoted by Secretary Li. Don't you plan to go and see him?"
"Uh... um..." Guo Qiang hesitated, "Yes, yes, Secretary Li is out. This is a good thing. I'm going to take a look when I have time..."
"Are you busy now? No time?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm going to be very busy right now. I just finished reporting to General Manager Wen and I have to rush back to the company to handle a few important things."
"Oh, since Director Guo has a lot of things to do, let's get busy."
Guo Qiang left in a hurry.
Looking at Guo Qiang's leaving figure, Qiao Liang was a little angry, and three words came to his mind: White-eyed wolf!
In fact, Guo Qiang was not the only white-eyed wolf in the newspaper office. He learned from Gu Shuyun that after Li Youwei came out, none of the people he promoted came to see him.
Qiao Liang knew from some sources that these people were roughly divided into two types. One type was afraid to come see Li Youwei, fearing that Wen Yuan would find him wearing shoes. After all, Wen Yuan and Li Youwei were neighbors.
This kind of people basically maintained a wait-and-see neutrality after Li Youwei's accident.
The other kind of people had no intention of visiting Li Youwei at all. After Li Youwei's accident, they urgently drew a clear line with Li Youwei and took the initiative to seek refuge with Wenyuan.
Guo Qiang belongs to this kind of person.
Feeling indignant, Qiao Liang felt that she should understand people like Guo Qiang. After all, the fate of small people is in the hands of their superiors, and those who understand current affairs are the heroes.
Perhaps, this is the helplessness and sadness of little people.
After a while, Gu Shuyun's relatives left, and Qiao Liang went in. Li Youwei and Fang Xiaoya were still talking in the study, and their laughter could be heard from time to time.
It seemed that they had a very good conversation.
Qiao Liang didn't want to go in and disturb them, so he chatted with Gu Shuyun while eating melon seeds.
Unconsciously, three hours passed and Fang Xiaoya and Li Youwei were still in the study. Gu Shuyun went out to buy groceries and left them at home to eat.
After Gu Shuyun went out, Qiao Liang walked to the door of the study room and heard Fang Xiaoya saying inside: "Brother Li gave a speech today, which opened my eyes to my little sister. It is really better than studying for ten years. I feel now,
If Brother Li had not been in officialdom, he would have made great achievements in the business and he would have been an excellent business manager."
