Chapter 1181 A Honest and Serious Person
"Good evening, leader..."
As soon as Li Xuewu walked down the gangway, he heard greetings welcoming him.
"It's my turn today."
The deputy director of the office stood beside him with great insight and reported softly, "Director Zhuang arranged for me to come and greet you."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work—"
Li Xuewu did not inquire whether the other party was really on night shift and nodded politely.
When leaving Tianjin the night before yesterday, Zhuang Cangshuo deliberately asked about today's reception work.
This is a very normal process, Li Xuewu said directly, he didn’t want to make any trouble in the middle of the night.
Obviously, the other party understood what he meant, and not many people came to the dock to greet them tonight.
It is quite appropriate for a deputy director of the office to be in charge of reception work while on duty.
Li Xuewu stood at the dock and watched the research team get on the minibus before getting on the car waiting nearby.
In the carriage, Zhou Miaomiao had been waiting there for a long time.
Even Peng Xiaoli got on the bus and went to the guesthouse of Jinmen Aquatic Products with the team.
It’s not that no one noticed Zhou Miaomiao got on the car, but no one thought much about it.
One minibus and one sedan, very normal reception standards, I thought they were going together.
Zhou Miaomiao's identity as a dancer itself gives her the stereotype of being delicate.
Now she quietly slipped into the car, and everyone thought she was just enjoying the comfort of the car.
When Peng Xiaoli got in the car, he naturally wouldn't tell others why he didn't take the sedan.
Others just thought that he represented the leader, cared about everyone, and was afraid that there would be trouble on the road.
So, when the two cars came out of the dock and separated after driving for a while, no one noticed.
Even when they arrived at the guesthouse, everyone, tired after a day's work, went to rest after getting their room keys.
Some people may wonder why the leader’s car has not arrived yet if it is so slow, but no one is willing to sit in the lobby and wait there foolishly.
-
"Come over for breakfast tomorrow morning."
After getting off the car, Li Xuewu took the luggage from the driver and greeted Zhou Miaomiao.
Zhou Miaomiao, who was also carrying luggage, waved her hand and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, leader."
The driver was tactful enough not to stop, and had no intention of listening to what the leader said.
After a polite gesture, he got in the car and left.
Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to the driver's actions. Before the car backed out, he turned around and entered the yard.
It is so innocent and so open.
He is a serious man, how could he let the driver misunderstand him.
“You are here——”
Sister Lu must have heard the sound of the car, and she was waiting in the hallway early.
Li Xuewu nodded slightly and greeted them with a smile, "Have you two had a rest?"
"The child has fallen asleep. Teacher Wu and Miss Xiaobai are waiting for you."
Sister Lu took the luggage from Li Xuewu and asked, "Are there any clothes that need to be washed?"
"Don't bother. I brought enough replacement clothes."
As Li Xuewu walked into the hallway to change his shoes, he reminded, "Bring one more person's meal tomorrow morning. Director Li's cousin is here."
"Okay, I know."
Sister Lu knew that Director Li’s house was next door.
Sometimes Director Li would bring my cousin over, and sometimes my cousin would come alone.
As for whether she was a cousin or a bitch, she didn't care. It was not something she should ask about.
"Let me prepare your bath water. Would you like a midnight snack?"
"No, I'm not hungry."
Li Xuewu said politely, but before he entered the living room, he saw Zhou Xiaobai rushing towards him.
"How old are you——"
It’s not that I’m concerned about Sister Lu, nor am I concerned about Wu Shuping, I just feel it’s inappropriate.
Just as Zhou Xiaobai pounced on him, he raised his hand and pressed down the other's head.
"ah--"
Zhou Xiaobai was pinned down by him like a bull and yelled in anger.
Belatedly, I covered my mouth, fearing that my voice would wake the child.
"It's all your fault—"
"Why blame me?"
Li Xuewu walked around her with amusement, entered the living room, nodded at Wu Shuping who stood up to greet him, and said, "Didn't you tell me not to wait for me? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"hypocritical--"
Zhou Xiaobai pulled the corner of his mouth, muttered something in dissatisfaction, and then hugged him from behind.
Li Xuewu only felt a hit from the airbag behind him, but it was also a small airbag.
Although it doesn't feel like a done deal, it hasn't reached a safe level yet.
"It's hot, I can't sleep——"
Wu Shuping smiled as she watched the two of them playing and explained, "The child just fell asleep, I'm going to talk to Xiaobai."
"How are you doing lately? Are you being good?"
Li Xuewu unbuttoned the collar of his short-sleeved shirt, took the tea handed to him by Wu Shuping, and sat on the sofa.
"Are you asking about the big one or the small one?"
Wu Shuping smiled and sat down with him, but she glanced at Zhou Xiaobai, making the other person's face turn red.
"Teacher Wu, you are just teasing me——"
Zhou Xiaobai said angrily: "I didn't offend you!"
"Haha, of course Xiaobai is well behaved."
Wu Shuping chuckled, and seeing her expectant eyes, she followed her words and said, "It was you, Brother Wu, who didn't ask clearly. I was afraid that my answer was inaccurate."
"I can't argue with you—"
Zhou Xiaobai felt embarrassed and sat next to her in shame and anger, his hands starting to move inappropriately.
"I just praised you for being a good boy!"
Wu Shuping's face turned red because of what she did, and she raised her hand and slapped her weird hand.
The two have been together for a long time, living under the same roof, so their feelings for each other naturally grow stronger day by day.
At first, I thought Zhou Xiaobai had a special status and might be a bit spoiled.
But in fact, this girl has some ideas, but not much. She is just young and has many uneasy thoughts in her heart.
Zhou Xiaobai was not too deliberate or polite to her, and even took the initiative to help her take care of the children.
After being together for more than half a year, Zhou Xiaobai had become familiar with her, and when they played around, they were as unrestrained as a little girl.
Everything was fine on weekdays. There were four people in the family, and the only man was only a few months old.
But in front of Li Xuewu, she didn't feel comfortable letting Zhou Xiaobai pinch her there.
"Cough-cough-"
Li Xuewu didn't expect Zhou Xiaobai to play such a big game, so he quickly got out of his sight.
I have to say, this girl’s care for him is not in vain, she really loves him and even shows him this.
However, this thing can only be looked at and not touched, which is harmful to him.
He coughed awkwardly, turned to look at Sister Lu who was coming down from upstairs, and asked, "Is the water ready?"
"You should be able to go up."
Sister Lu didn’t know what was happening downstairs. Teacher Wu was glaring at Zhou Xiaobai and whispering something in a reproachful tone.
Zhou Xiaobai looked as if he had done something wrong and sat there grinning like a little quail.
"Okay, thank you—"
Li Xuewu's thank you was genuine.
After Sister Lu finished speaking, he stood up and went up the stairs as if escaping.
I can’t stay downstairs anymore; the atmosphere is too awkward.
Zhou Xiaobai, really, this is making things difficult for a decent, honest, and serious person like him——
-
"whee--"
"dare you laugh!"
Wu Shuping patted her lightly and asked angrily, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
"How can there be——"
Zhou Xiaobai smiled and hugged Wu Shuping, saying in defense: "I really didn't mean it."
"I don't believe you—"
Wu Shuping grew up in Southeast Asia and her accent sounds like the Wu dialect, soft and sweet.
Zhou Xiaobai really likes listening to her talk, and sometimes he would imitate her, thinking that men would definitely like it.
"Love Duck——"
Teacher Wu tapped her on the forehead and she said with a sweet smile, "You didn't lose anything, but look how scared he is."
"What do you mean I didn't lose anything?"
Wu Shuping lowered her eyebrows and reminded her, "Don't make such a fuss again in the future. Do you hear me?"
"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong."
Zhou Xiaobai promised repeatedly: "I won't make trouble like this in front of him in the future."
"You even put forward conditions—"
Wu Shuping pinched her cheek and said, "If you don't listen to the teacher, be careful of being spanked."
"scare--"
Zhou Xiaobai's face turned red when she said that, as if he remembered something.
She moved her body to avoid Teacher Wu and said angrily, "You've already slept with him, why do you still care about this?"
"We are——"
Just as Wu Shuping was about to explain, she saw Zhou Xiaobai looking at her with his eyes rolling, as if he had been waiting for her.
Otherwise, you would say she is a little clever, but definitely not much.
"We have a normal married life."
Wu Shuping seemed to do this on purpose and did not give Zhou Xiaobai the answer he had been expecting and searching for for a long time.
With a playful smile, she looked at Zhou Xiaobai and asked, "What do you want to know?"
"I don't want to know anything!"
Zhou Xiaobai pouted, snorted, crossed his arms and said, "I know everything."
"what--"
Wu Shuping grinned, uttered a questioning and disdainful sound, and asked, "What do you know?"
"I won't tell you—"
Zhou Xiaobai raised his chin, glanced at Teacher Wu, pursed his lips and looked proudly waiting for a good price.
"Well, I won't ask anymore. You should go to bed early too."
Wu Shuping thought to herself, I already have a child, how can I not be able to defeat a little sparrow like you?
Just when she was about to stand up, Zhou Xiaobai pushed her down again with a scolding look.
"No sleep—"
"Hehehe——"
Wu Shuping was so angry that she laughed when she saw her acting like a child.
She didn't say anything, just looked at Zhou Xiaobai, waiting for her to confess.
Having been a university teacher for several years, she knows very well what adolescent girls are thinking about all day long.
At this time, girls are the most impatient, speak their mind, and say whatever they think.
It's not enough if you don't let her speak and don't listen to her.
"I know you two are not really a couple."
Zhou Xiaobai pouted, and although he said this, his tone was somewhat exploratory and unconfident.
After saying this, she stopped and looked at Teacher Wu's expression and eyes, trying to see something.
Unfortunately, she lacks experience and ability, and nothing can be seen from Teacher Wu’s face.
There is a bit of sarcasm and depression, but you don't need to see it, it's too obvious.
"Love Duck——"
Zhou Xiaobai pushed her gently unwillingly, wanting to confirm his guess and also wanting an answer.
"What do you want to say?"
Wu Shuping still had the same smile on her face as before, and asked, "I don't understand what you mean."
"If you mean a couple in the legal sense—"
She shrugged her shoulders and didn't say anything further, but the look of acknowledgment and approval said it all.
But this is not the answer Zhou Xiaobai wants. What is a couple in the legal sense?
She doesn't care about this because she knows that Wu Shuping is not her, she is not her, she is nothing.
Precisely because she is nothing, she wants to find out what Wu Shuping is.
If Wu Shuping can be, then why can't she be?
Therefore, whether Wu Shuping is real or not is related to whether she is real or not, and we must find out the truth.
"You and him..."
Zhou Xiaobai stared into her eyes, his expression became serious, and asked: "Just now you...he..."
"What do you want to say? Why are you hesitating?"
Wu Shuping looked at her leisurely, with an expression that said "she doesn't care if her feet are crooked or not", which made Zhou Xiaobai even more confused.
"What happened just now? Is there something wrong?"
"Um--"
Zhou Xiaobai was very anxious, his eyes rolling around, but he didn't know what to say or how to ask.
Wu Shuping didn't tease her, and asked calmly, "Is it because of his embarrassed reaction?"
Seeing Zhou Xiaobai's eyes light up, she smiled and explained, "Any man would be embarrassed by such a joke, and we are not that close."
"you--"
When Zhou Xiaobai heard her say this, he opened his mouth in surprise.
You already have a child, and you still say you’re not that close?
How close do we have to be to be truly close?
"Why do you think I'm with him?"
Wu Shuping asked very directly, and without waiting for Zhou Xiaobai to answer, she reached out and patted Zhou Xiaobai's arm calmly, then stood up and went upstairs.
In the living room downstairs, Zhou Xiaobai looked a little confused, frowning and pouting from time to time.
I was already confused, and now I'm even more confused.
So are you two okay?
"Go sleep in Xiaobai's room."
As soon as Li Xuewu came out of the bathroom, they chatted about children and work for a while, and then she chased him away.
"Stop it——"
Li Xuewu looked at her with amusement and said, "Who do you take me for?"
"Landlords and gentry, hang the big red lanterns high."
"I think of you as a good person," Wu Shuping said while lying on the bed, looking at Li Xuewu with a smile, "but if I continue to occupy you, some people will think of me as a bad person."
"Then you can't force me to be a bad guy."
Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and shook his head, then lay down on the other side and placed the pistol on the bedside table.
"I am a decent and honest person."
"It's serious, but I don't know whether it's innocent or not."
Wu Shuping lay on her side, looking at Li Xuewu and asked, "Do you dare to say that you have no interest in her at all?"
"You were bribed by her to get me to talk, right?"
Li Xuewu leaned against the head of the bed, glanced at her sideways, and said, "You can't betray me. We are comrades-in-arms."
"I want to sell you—"
Wu Shuping raised her head, glanced at Li Xuewu, and said, "I think you are interested in her, why bother?"
"Oh, I'm a man," Li Xuewu patted her shoulder with the book in his hand and said, "I'm interested in you even if I lie with you, let alone her who sticks to me."
"What do you mean?"
Wu Shuping understood what Li Xuewu said, but she pretended not to know and asked coquettishly, "I am old and ugly, how can I compare to a young girl?"
"hey-hey--!"
Li Xuewu shook his head in amusement, looked at her strangely and asked, "What happened today?"
What he just said didn't mean that he despised her because she was old and ugly.
It was because each of them had their own partner and they lay together knowing full well that this was what he emphasized.
A man's reaction under such circumstances is to have a pure heart and to act on purpose with both spouses knowing about it.
Li Xuewu certainly would not doubt Wu Shuping's IQ. People with low IQ would definitely not be able to learn physics well, let alone become university teachers.
"Is this inspired, or deeply moved, or..."
"Screw you--"
Look, Li Xuewu said that people with low IQ cannot be university physics teachers.
Before he finished speaking, Wu Shuping already understood what he meant.
"Who taught you to use idioms like that?"
Wu Shuping smiled and kicked him, saying, "Just now downstairs, Xiaobai asked us if we were really a couple."
She did not dwell on or care about what Li Xuewu had just said, the part that showed interest in her.
Li Xuewu is younger than her, but mature enough.
The two mature people are very clear about each other's boundaries. They can laugh and joke, but they can't take it seriously.
So, her topic returned to Zhou Xiaobai.
"Couple, hehe——"
Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "How did she come up with this word?"
"How did you respond to her?"
"you guess--"
Wu Shuping teased him playfully, and said with a smile at Li Xuewu's helpless expression: "I told her that I followed you because I was greedy for fame and fortune."
"Well, it's a combination of the two, real and fake," Li Xuewu pursed his lips and nodded, exaggeratingly praising Wu Shuping and saying, "You are still taller——"
"Fuck you, hahahaha——"
Wu Shuping kicked his thigh again, then lay back on the pillow, smiling and saying, "I would like to say that I admire your looks and talent."
"Ugh--"
Li Xuewu pretended to sigh helplessly and said, "Don't think about your appearance in this life. It started when I was young and ended with my love."
"But you can still look forward to my talent. Maybe I will become a writer."
"Just you—?"
Wu Shuping turned around and looked at him with a smile, then chuckled, "I really can't imagine what it's like for you to stand in the classroom and give a lecture."
"Your impression of scholars is limited to the three-foot podium?" Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said, "That's too stereotyped."
"How many great writers have you seen who are handsome?"
He pointed at his face and said, "In order not to delay my studies, I even gave up my peerless beauty."
"Hahaha——" Wu Shuping smiled and pushed him away, teasing, "I think you don't care about your dignity anymore!"
……
The sounds of chatting and laughing in the master bedroom spread to the guest bedroom through the half-open door.
Zhou Xiaobai lay in bed waiting for the person he missed, but could only grit his teeth and flip through the novel in his hand.
The infatuated men and resentful women in the novel, which had been classified as a banned book, did not ease her troubled mood at all.
What exactly did Wu Shuping mean by those words she had just said to her in the living room downstairs?
Only by not getting close to him or talking about feelings can he accept you, and only by being greedy and vain can you give birth to his children?
Or is she too smart, and Li Xuewu is afraid of her intelligence?
Oh no - what does that mean? I shouldn't have asked her if I had known. Now I can't sleep!
-
"Yo-"
Li Xuewu came down from upstairs and just sat down at the dining table when he saw a giant panda opposite him looking at him.
"Hahaha--"
Zhou Miaomiao and Wu Shuping couldn't help laughing, only Sister Lu was so caring that she helped her peel an egg.
"Humph--"
Zhou Xiaobai snorted, rolled the egg white around his eyes, and asked helplessly, "Does it work?"
"I don't know, let's try——"
Wu Shuping, who made the suggestion, smiled, and seeing her resentful look, she couldn't help but smile.
This was not the first day Zhou Miaomiao came here, so she naturally knew what this girl was thinking.
Although no one has said it explicitly, it happened once on a ship before.
"The culprit is here——"
"Ah, crabs for breakfast?"
Li Xuewu ignored her teasing and changed the subject stiffly.
Sister Lu knew what he meant, and she smiled and explained, "Someone brought it here this morning, saying it was a driver from Jinmen Aquatic Products."
"understood--"
Li Xuewu smiled and did not continue the topic. Instead, he teased Li Xin who was standing next to him.
The little guy doesn't recognize him very well, after all, he doesn't come here often.
But I'm not afraid of him. He even hugged me when I woke up this morning.
He has a big, silly face, and from the side he looks a bit like the most annoying kid, Crayon Shin-chan.
"what--"
Zhou Xiaobai broke the egg in his hand and fed Li Xin a small piece of egg yolk under his anxious gaze.
This was originally Li Xin's breakfast, Zhou Xiaobai was just borrowing it.
"I can eat about a quarter of it every morning."
Seeing Li Xuewu looking at his son with concern, Wu Shuping took the initiative to introduce: "He hates the taste a little, but he still can't help wanting to eat it."
"Little kid, just beginning to taste the flavors of life."
Li Xuewu took a small spoon and scooped some warm water and fed it to him.
Li Xin looked at Li Xuewu with his big eyes and drank with his little mouth.
I saw Li Xuewu carefully scrape the water stains and egg yolk residue from the corners of Li Xin's mouth with a spoon, and then fed Li Xin.
The women at the table who were worried about his carelessness all smiled knowingly.
"Not a novice anymore—"
Li Xuewu said frankly: "I am more popular with children."
He picked up a crab casually and said, "I already have several godsons."
"You do have some underworld manners."
Wu Shuping said: "The big guys in Nanyang like to adopt godsons. Do you also want to experience the heroic spirit of the underworld?"
"Haha, does the Jianghu have to be found only in Nanyang?"
Li Xuewu broke open the crab, looked at the other party, and said, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes."
-
Because it was the first day of this investigation trip, Li Xuewu and his team had already visited the office site.
So on Sunday, even though the Trade Management Center implemented staggered holiday rules, today was still a working day, and he did not go to see the business.
In accordance with the research procedures and arrangements, Li Xuewu presided over a working seminar of the Trade Management Center.
The last time he came, Li Xuewu had a conversation with Zhuang Cangshuo, so the Management Committee Office made a comprehensive assessment and concluded that the Trade Management Center has made remarkable achievements in personnel reform.
This time when meeting with the team members, Li Xuewu's attitude was naturally much more friendly than when he was in Yingcheng.
Of course, his speech and actions in Yingcheng had been heard by interested people yesterday through telephone.
At today's meeting, everyone seemed a little reserved and was extremely modest and cautious in their reports.
Li Xuewu didn't care, nor was he polite or tried to enlighten him.
No matter how serious you are about your work, it is never too serious, as this is organizational work.
The symposium focused on domestic trade, foreign trade, dispatch, service, organizational and structural management, supply chain management, office establishment and management, etc.
Of course, the focus was on the end, which was personnel changes. Everyone tacitly reported some of the completed parts in their speeches.
Even if you haven't completed the task yet, you still need to report it to your leader to let him know that you have started working on it.
It doesn’t matter if you do it slowly or make mistakes. What matters is that you do it seriously.
“I’m not an easy person to get along with.”
The first sentence of Li Xuewu's final summary speech shocked everyone.
"People give me nicknames, and none of them have anything to do with kindness."
This was a joke, but it wasn't a joke, because Li Xuewu didn't laugh. No one in the meeting hall laughed.
"I am responsible for the organization and business coordination, and I also manage the security team." He nodded, looked at everyone and said, "I think I am not popular."
"There's nothing we can do. The organization needs—" He said seriously, "Just like everyone here."
“Some people are talented, and some people have lofty ambitions.”
When he said this, he paused and looked at everyone, seeing that they were all looking down and taking notes.
"But just because the organization needed these four words, we came to Tianjin," he nodded and said, "we opened up a new front and created unprecedented achievements."
"Here, I want to say fairly that you are great."
Pah pah pah pah——
As Li Xuewu finished speaking, the team members who were taking notes at the meeting raised their heads and applauded under the leadership of Zhuang Cangshuo.
I'm praising you and affirming you, why don't you continue?
How to receive? Receive with both hands and clap!
Li Xuewu smiled, waited for the applause to die down, and then continued, "But don't be proud."
"Hehehe——"
Everyone was happy, knowing that the leader was satisfied with the work of the Tianjin Office, and they dared to smile.
"Because it is unprecedented, there is no upper limit," Li Xuewu pointed his finger upward and said, "Every time you create a new achievement, it is a new record and a new breakthrough for this work, this project, and this track."
"At the Auto Parts Supply Chain Conference last month, Sichuan Auto's Vice President Tang Rongxuan asked me how much profit the Red Star Factory Trade Management Center made in a year."
"Hahaha--"
After he said this, everyone in the conference room laughed again, some chuckled softly, and some laughed loudly.
Li Xuewu didn't care about their proud and confident laughter because he was laughing too.
When the laughter died down, he shook his finger, slapped the table, and said loudly: "How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?"
Pah pah pah pah——
Everyone applauded with admiration and excitement, and nodded in agreement with what Li Xuewu said.
Zhou Miaomiao, who was sitting in the meeting hall, was deeply shocked. She could see that these cadres really admired Li Xuewu.
How did he do that?
Fan Hua knows this, or has a deep understanding of it.
When he was in the Security Department and the head of the Security Section, Li Xuewu's speeches were very touching.
Let me put it this way, after listening to him speak once, you won’t feel tired even if you run two miles, you will just feel your blood boiling.
When it comes to mobilizing emotions, Li Xuewu is definitely the best at Red Star Factory.
His words are meaningful, insightful, and profound. He may come from somewhere and make you admit defeat.
“What are we doing?”
Li Xuewu waved his hands, and when the applause stopped, he said seriously: "Profit? We are making history!"
“Who has heard of the auto parts supply chain system before? Who has integrated the parts resources? Who has achieved the level of Red Star Factory today?”
He spoke loudly about the achievements of Tianjin Trade Management Center, which made everyone present feel proud.
"Red Star Factory started to be involved in the automobile industry in early 1966, and it has only been a little over a year."
Li Xuewu clapped his hands lightly on the table and said loudly, "But last month, the entire country's automobile industry had to look to our Red Star Factory, and will look to our Red Star Factory even more in the future."
Pah pah pah pah——
The members of the Trade Management Center's team pursed their lips tightly, unable to express their inner excitement in words, and could only respond to Li Xuewu with applause over and over again.
"Red Star Factory has created a new era in the automobile industry. Today, history is written by us."
He nodded at the table and said, "From now on, the automobile industry across the country will start a new era of reform under our support and guidance."
“Is it profit we want?”
"no--"
Zhuang Cangshuo and others responded in unison. Although their voices were not loud, they were sonorous and powerful.
"Yes, no—"
Li Xuewu nodded, looked at everyone present seriously, and said, "So I told him that even if the annual profit of the Trade Management Center is only ten cents, we must do it and do it seriously!"
Pah pah pah pah——
-
"What is the profit of the Trade Management Center?"
Zhou Miaomiao looked at Fan Hua curiously and asked, "Is it really only ten cents?"
"Haha, do you believe what the leader said?"
Fan Hua looked at Zhou Miaomiao with amusement and said, "After working so hard for so long, if they really wanted to make a dime of profit, these people would have been replaced long ago."
"That's what I said—"
Zhou Miaomiao curled her lips, picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and said, "Look at those people, they are like chicken blood."
She glanced at him and signaled to Fan Hua, "If you don't know, you might think he's a passionate young man."
“That’s called work ethic, right?”
Fan Hua glanced at her, then turned to look at the members of the trade center's management team who were having lunch with their leader.
She turned around and reminded him, "Stop talking nonsense, or your leader might scare you."
Zhou Miaomiao did not argue, she just pursed her lips, her eyes still on those people.
"What do you think is better, a service position or a business position?"
She looked at it for a long time, and was distracted for a while, then she came back to her senses and looked at Fan Hua opposite and asked: "Or is it the logistics post..."
"It's best to be laid off and retire—"
Fan Hua rolled his eyes and said, "You think these positions are mahjong, you can get whichever card you want."
After saying this, she looked at the other person meaningfully and said nothing more.
Zhou Miaomiao didn't care about her attitude. She stared at the Trade Management Center and said, "Actually, I quite like doing business."
"Start from scratch?"
Fan Hua seemed to understand what she meant and looked up at her in surprise.
Although a report has been filed to the police regarding Zhou Miaomiao's case, an investigation has also been conducted into those leaflets.
Some say it is completely false, some say it is a fabricated rumor, and some say flies don't bite eggs without cracks.
Fan Hua didn't listen to them. She had her own judgment.
She didn't care about it before, but now that Zhou Miaomiao asked her about it, she finally reacted.
Regarding the flyers issue, it should be Li Xuewu who helped Zhou Miaomiao deal with it.
Just look at this drastic method of cutting the Gordian knot and you will know that most people would never think of it.
But she never expected that, with Zhou Miaomiao's identity, she wouldn't be put in a sales position, right?
Director Li is so unkind?
Even if it's just to cool down, transfer to an easier department first, and then go back to make progress, that's fine.
If it only happens in the Propaganda Department, it will actually have little impact on Zhou Miaomiao.
But now it seems that is not the case.
Zhou Miaomiao initially thought that her motivation for following her leader out was just to relax and avoid the limelight.
If you hear the other party say this, then it should be that the leader brought her out to see the world.
By letting her experience the business work at such a close distance, are you trying to arrange for her to transfer to the business department?
From dance team to trade management center?
Even if she is a dancer and she is good at doing the splits, the span is big enough.
“I call this starting from scratch?”
Zhou Miaomiao looked away amusedly, sorted out her thoughts, and said, "Stop humiliating me."
"But you have studied the major for more than ten years and have achieved certain results in this field. Are you going to give up just like that?"
Fan Hua looked at her and asked again to confirm: "Are you really planning to change your job?"
"Ha-hu-"
Zhou Miaomiao took a deep breath and said with a confused expression: "I will be twenty after the Chinese New Year. Even if I stay in the dance team, how many years can I dance?"
"I know what you mean—"
She looked at Fan Hua, smiled slightly and said, "Just think about it, how much more space there is up there."
"I am now the deputy captain, instructor, captain, and deputy section chief. What next?"
After saying this, she shrugged her shoulders and said calmly: "We are professionals and have cultural limitations. Do you think I really know a few idioms?"
Fan Hua nodded in understanding. She seemed to understand the helplessness and melancholy in Zhou Miaomiao's words.
"Compared to you, you can understand what he says, but I can only understand half of it."
Zhou Miaomiao pointed in the direction of Li Xuewu and said dejectedly, "If possible, I don't want to change my position."
"But if we go for administration, our ceiling is in front of us. If we go for technology, I can't compare with college teachers."
She pursed her lips, smiled, and said casually, "Deputy Director Li said I have a talent for sales. I hope he is right this time."
"Leaders are always very accurate in judging people—"
Fan Hua also smiled and said, "Since he said you can do it, then you must be able to do it."
"Is this true? Don't lie to me—"
Zhou Miaomiao took a bite of the rice and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm the easiest to deceive. I don't have any ulterior motives."
"I can't tell—"
Fan Hua made a look of disbelief, and then both of them laughed.

“The three buildings over here, and the one on the corner.”
The head of the business section of the Engineering Department stood on the street and introduced to Li Xuewu and Xie Lanzhi the details of several properties acquired by the factory this time.
The focus was on the Red Star United Savings Bank, located next to the Trade Administration Center.
On Sunday afternoon, Li Xuewu and Sister Xie, who had hurried over and was the president of the United Savings Bank, held an on-site meeting here.
After lunch, the two decided to talk while walking, and also wanted to take a look at the surrounding environment.
"The bank has already completed the renovation of the office area. After all, it was an expedited process."
The person in charge paused and continued to introduce: "We are currently planning and renovating the management office at the back, which will be used for administrative management..."
……
"what do you think?"
Standing in the courtyard of the United Savings Bank, Xie Lanzhi looked at the building in front of her and asked Li Xuewu.
In Xie Lanzhi's eyes, it is a building, but in Li Xuewu's eyes, it is just an ordinary building.
There were no decent skyscrapers in Tianjin at that time.
Most of them are buildings left over from the puppet period, and you can tell by their architectural style.
Of course, as a trading port, Tianjin has many concessions, which are no less impressive than the foreign concessions.
There are many small villas and buildings of various styles, but not many of them are fully utilized after being received.
So, in the past decade or so, you can see that the office addresses of some units have changed frequently.
It's not just Tianjin, it's also the case in Beijing and other big cities.
Having just taken over a big country, how to govern it was still a new challenge for the managers at that time.
So, some departments were established, merged, established again, and merged again. It kept changing, which was very interesting.
This is called crossing the river by feeling the stones. On the road of building a distinctive social system, we are bound to experience some setbacks.
Now, the several buildings acquired by Red Star Factory are office spaces that have been vacated after department expansion or downsizing, or adjustments.
How should I put it? You can vaguely see the shadow of the past from the exterior, and even when you walk into the building you can find many historical traces.
However, after more than a decade of changes and renovations, there is basically no need to modify anything.
Just make specific modifications according to the bank's office needs.
"There is no need to add money—"
Sister Xie said, "We've chosen the building at the current trade center."
“Haha, that used to be a bank.”
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "There is really no need to add money."
"The two places over there will be used for another two years after repairs. When there is space in the factory, we will directly tear them down and build two high-rise buildings with more than ten floors."
He said to Sister Xie, "When the time comes, we'll move the Trade Management Center over there, and we'll give the building over there to you."
"I thought the same thing as you did—"
Sister Xie smiled and said, "But the auxiliary building behind the Trade Management Center needs to be rebuilt."
"Well, one step at a time."
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "We'll see what the plan is. If the Trade Management Center develops well, maybe four buildings won't be enough."
"You are very ambitious," Sister Xie said with a smile, "Then I will wait for your help."
"Okay, if you ask me to lend you the east wind, how can I refuse?"
Li Xuewu said meaningfully: "I just hope that this east wind will blow more appropriately."
"Ugh--"
Sister Xie sighed after hearing what he said and said, "The wind is too strong now, it gives people a headache."
"No way, man can't fight against nature."
Li Xuewu looked at Sister Xie and advised, "One step back, the world will be brighter. What do you think?"
