Looking at the bald middle-aged man in front of him, General Li Xuewu put down the teacup in his hand.

Li Xuewu asked ten questions from the moment he entered the room, and the security director's answers were at most unclear, and others mostly used uncertain words such as maybe, probably, maybe, etc.

Li Xuewu had lost his patience and said with a serious expression, "Director Xiao, security work is not about guarding the door. You don't want to be a monk hitting the clock all day long."

Hearing Li Xuewu's rude words, Xiao Changqing's expression did not waver at all, and he even picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip.

"Most of the general affairs in the office are handled by Fu Haibo. There are almost no more important matters. If they are, they are reported to the leadership for decision-making. As a monk, I am very timely in ringing the bell."

Li Xuewu took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one for himself, squinted his eyes and said, "You were once a capable security cadre, otherwise the organization would not have sent you here when we took over the branch factory."

Because Li Xuewu and Xiao Changqing are on the same level now, Li Xuewu was not polite when he spoke, but he also left some leeway.

Of course Xiao Changqing knew what the second half of Li Xuewu's unsaid words was. It was just a pity that he had fallen or fallen to this point. ??

But looking at the head of the security department of the main factory who has just turned 20 in front of me, he is just like himself in his prime and high-spirited days.

Especially the recent "official battle" between Li Xuewu and Fu Haibo has made these two young heroes become popular figures in the steel rolling mill system.

Now that Li Xuewu has come all the way to Gangcheng with the power of victory to capture Fu Haibo, he is even more powerful and unstoppable.

Li Xuewu's youth and promise further set off Xiao Changqing's wasted years.

"I was transferred to Steel City when I was 26, and this is my 14th year."

Xiao Changqing looked at Li Xuewu calmly and said, "What I feel most deeply is not the cold wind in the steel city in winter, but the coldness of disappointment after submitting applications for transfer back to the capital and being rejected time and time again."

Li Xuewu leaned back in his chair, chuckled, and asked, "Oh, are you still aggrieved? We are on the same level, but I am willing to convey your opinions back to the factory."

Xiao Changqing put down the tea cup in his hand, changed his attitude from the submissive attitude just now, stared at Li Xuewu and said, "You said I didn't do anything, isn't it because I didn't supervise Fu Haibo well?"

"But can I control the area where he committed crimes? Can I control him? What can I do if his leave request is approved by the leader?"

"Now that Fu Haibo has gone to the main factory to compete with you for the position of deputy director, you have investigated him. Fu Haibo's situation has not changed for a day or two. Why didn't you guys care when Fu Bin arranged for Fu Haibo to come here?

, no supervision?”

"How come you didn't notice when Fu Haibo made progress in violation of regulations? You saw it as soon as he entered Beijing? Why did you go there earlier?"

Li Xuewu said nothing, smoking a cigarette and watching Xiao Changqing vent his anger.

Xiao Changqing showed no intention of stopping and continued, "You, Li Xuewu, are saying that I am not doing anything as a cadre of the main factory, but what about the leading cadres of your main factory?"

"Yang Fengshan, Yang Yuansong appointed Fu Bin to head the security department. He installed cronies, colluded with both inside and outside, and formed cliques for personal gain. As the top leader, Yang Fengshan really doesn't know anything at all?"

"Before Fu Haibo's accident, I heard that the masses were constantly reporting, and the factory leaders turned a deaf ear to cover the lid."

"Fu Haibo fell, and Fu Bin will fall as well, right? But the leaders of the main factory were unscathed. Is this called achievement?"

Li Xuewu put his left arm at the elbow of his right hand, held the cigarette in his right hand, squinted his eyes and said, "No one can escape in this matter of Fu Haibo, let alone the kind of unscathed person you said."

Injury, carelessness in employment, negligence of duty, no matter who it is, the main factory will investigate it to the end."

Xiao Changqing curled his lips disdainfully and said, "Come on, Section Chief Li, everyone knows about the last time he suppressed Zhengquan, right?"

"What responsibilities did the leaders of the main factory, including Fu Bin, bear? Were they demoted? Or punished? I'm afraid they didn't even get three drinks as a fine. If shouting slogans is effective, why do we need the Discipline Inspection Commission?"

Looking at the furious Xiao Changqing, Li Xuewu knew that this was not Xiao Changqing's resentment against him, but his resentment against the factory leaders' neglect of him for many years, the injustice of his fate, and the unsatisfactory work.

"If you think there is a problem with the factory leaders or certain leaders, go to the relevant departments and report it. What I'm telling you today is inaction. Let's talk about the matter. Don't you have no responsibility for dealing with Haibo?"

Looking at Li Xuewu with a stiff neck, Xiao Changqing said, "You, Li Xuewu, said I didn't do anything. I, Xiao Changqing, have been working in the steelmaking plant for 14 years. I didn't do anything?"

"Why does the steelworks security department always have the highest crime detection rate in the system? Why has there never been any sabotage or attack in the steelworks? Is this the result of my inaction?"

"I have been working hard for 14 years, but I can't go back to the main factory, and my branch factories can't make progress. Who doesn't know what's going on?"

"You, Li Xuewu, are Dong Wenxue's beloved disciple, and Fu Haibo is Fu Bin's nephew. You are all resourceful people in Enter the Dragon and Tiger, and you are rising like a plane. I, Xiao Changqing, have worked in the steel mill for 14 years.

Isn't it because I have been stationary for many years because I don't have a good teacher or a good uncle?"

"hehe"

Li Xuewu flicked the cigarette ashes in his hand and said, "I won't shout slogans with you, nor will I belittle your personal pursuits, but."

With a move of his fingers, he turned the cigarette in his hand and rushed the cigarette butt down into the ashtray in front of him. He said, "Three feet of ice does not last in a day. You said that the leaders of the factory are indifferent to you. You should also look back at yourself."

The road traveled”.

"Whether you are talking about Fu Haibo or Fu Bin's nephew, speaking of myself, my starting point was the same as yours. It seems deliberate to say that times create heroes, but I took the initiative to fight for every opportunity, and I seized every opportunity.

Given the opportunity, I can make the progress I can satisfy.”

"As for your resentful interpersonal relationship, I don't know how you view this kind of relationship between government agencies, but what I can tell you is that no one can live on this for the rest of their lives."

Li Xuewu stood up, took his hat, put it on and walked out.

He walked to the door and opened the door of the office, turned around and said to Xiao Changqing, "It's better to take a step back than to ask for nothing. The sky is brighter. There are many department-level positions in the main factory. If they are not given to department-level positions, they will be deputy department-level headquarters, right? No matter what, it is better than occupying the pit."

If you don’t poop, it’s too hard to be cheated.”

After saying this, Li Xuewu closed the door, waved to Liu Zhaolun and went downstairs.

There is already a tricycle waiting at the door of the building.

Standing next to the motorcycle was a young man with a small pockmark on his face.

Liu Zhaolun looked at the mottled paint wheel and was about to step forward to attack the young man standing aside.

Li Xuewu grabbed Liu Zhaolun from behind and said, "What are you doing? There are no rules."

Hearing Li Xuewu's words, the sesame-faced young man smiled dryly and said, "Secretary Yu said that the number of vehicles in the factory is really tight. This vehicle was transferred from the security department. The branch factory is not more luxurious than the main factory, so you can make do with it."

Li Xuewu looked at the sesame-faced young man, then at the third floor, and then said to Liu Zhaolun, "Get in the car, let's go out for a walk."

He patted the embarrassed young man on the shoulder and said, "Thank Secretary Yu for me. Just tell me what I said. I'll treat him when he returns to the main factory."

"OK"

The young man didn't know if Li Xuewu's words were polite, but he quickly agreed.

After getting on the sidecar, Li Xuewu sat directly on the wooden seat without the sponge cover and said to Liu Zhaolun, "Let's go."

Liu Zhaolun glared at the biscuits standing on the edge, kicked off his motorcycle and walked outside.

Yu Decai stood behind Luo Jiaping, and the two stood on the third floor watching Li Xuewu's motorcycle go out of the gate.

"Director, isn't this a bit..."

"snort!"

Luo Jiaping snorted, then glanced at Yu Decai and asked, "Are you scared?"

"No, what am I afraid of?"

Yu Decai explained with a smile, "The steelworks has your sea-fixing needle here. What do I, a small fish and a shrimp, have to fear?"

After explaining this, he watched Luo Jiaping's face return to normal before saying, "I'm just worried that this tiger from the security department won't let it go."

Luo Jiaping squinted his eyes and looked at the direction in which Li Xuewu and the two disappeared, and said, "He is nothing but a tiger."

"It's just over easy to break. Our steelmaking factory is not afraid of steel with this hardness. Don't be frightened by his deeds at the main factory."

Turning back, Luo Jiaping looked at Yu Decai and said, "Ninety percent of the things he did were instigated by Dong Wenxu from behind. What kind of big waves can such a kid of just 20 make?"

Although Yu Decai disagreed with Luo Jiaping's point of view in his heart, now was not the time to say unflattering advice and it was easy for him to get involved.

Seeing that Yu Decai was silent, Luo Jiaping didn't want to waste any more time with him.

“Tell the guest house to keep an eye on them and call me as soon as they come back”<

br>

"yes"

Having gained nothing, Li Xuewu asked Liu Zhaolun to find a phone number and park the car. He looked at his watch and saw that it was already 11 o'clock. It was time to call Yan Jiecheng at the guest house back.

There are no public phone booths at this time, so you can only find larger restaurants or bookstores, etc.

The place where Li Xuewu asked Liu Zhaolun to park was at the entrance of Xinhua Bookstore.

Other units may not have telephones, but Xinhua Bookstore definitely has one, and it is open to the outside world.

Li Xuewu saw not many people when he entered the bookstore. They were all working at this time, so most of the people in the bookstore were teenagers or little girls.

"Comrade, make a phone call"

Li Xuewu took off his gloves and greeted the waiter at the counter. The waiter looked at Li Xuewu and said "unit" angrily.

Li Xuewu handed his ID to the waiter.

The waiter with two big pigtails saw that Li Xuewu's ID was actually a deputy director. He raised his head in disbelief and looked at Li Xuewu's face and then at the photo on the ID in his hand.

Even if the work address is Beijing, this is still scary enough.

"You can only make local calls, and they cost 5 cents a minute."

The waiter's tone became obviously better after seeing Li Xuewu's ID, and he was no longer as impatient as before.

Li Xuewu smiled and took the phone handed over by the waiter and started shaking it.

In fact, Li Xuewu doesn't quite understand the principle of this thing. It's probably that if you shake the phone here, it will generate electricity, and the operator will receive a signal requesting a call, and then ask you where to call.

Nowadays, telephone calls still rely on operators to assist in contacting people, so the efficiency is artificially slow, and sometimes the call can't be answered for a long time.
