"Third Aunt, are you doing well~"

"Okay, Miss Li Xue is here"

The third aunt smiled and took Li Xue's hand, glanced at Li Xuewu and said, "Are you on a business trip again?"

“Went to Yuezhou”

Li Xuewu didn't know until he was in the car that his third uncle and his third aunt's family came to the station to see them last night.

But Li Xuewu was not here, so we made an appointment to have dinner together tonight.

The third aunt smiled and said thank you for your hard work, and asked Li Xuewu and Li Xue to go upstairs quickly, wash their hands and eat.

They were still making dumplings, but today's dumplings were obviously better than the time he came.

It’s not that the fillings are good, nor that the noodles are good, but that the atmosphere is good.

The knot in the third aunt's heart was resolved, and the third uncle looked happy. During the meal, he kept urging him to drink some wine.

Li Xue knew her second brother's drinking capacity. She had watched him drink everyone at the table to the ground the day before yesterday, so he quickly stopped his third uncle.

When talking about the banquet the day before yesterday, Li Xue only thought it was at the third uncle's house. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional.

The third uncle listened to her talk about who was there that day and what the scene was like. He just felt that his nephew was getting higher and higher and his future was limitless.

But the third aunt's expression changed slightly, obviously she still underestimated the second child in the eldest brother's family.

Her work was arranged, so she was naturally convinced of Li Xuewu's family's energy, but she also ignored the significance of the matter itself.

If Li Xuewu didn't have this status, how much less would his father-in-law give her, no matter how energetic he was?

So thinking about this, I couldn't help but look at Li Xuewu a few more times.

Li Xuewu didn't care about this. Li Xue has become much more cheerful in the past six months. He has learned to be serious and rigid at work, and rarely relaxes at home.

The third uncle's family were all her own relatives, and there was nothing taboo in their words, so she was allowed to gossip.

Li Xuehan listened with great interest, especially imagining the big shots sitting at the same table. The second brother was all-powerful and was able to level the opponent one by one. How amazing it was.

He was amazed and asked his second brother how he did it.

Li Xuewu looked at him with a smile and said that he was not old enough to learn to drink.

Li Xuehan is not a good boy. He usually cooks for his mother. In fact, he has already tasted his father's wine.

It just tastes spicy when you drink it, and there's nothing wonderful about it.

After listening to his sister talk about what happened at the wine table, he finally understood what drinking was for.

It turns out it’s for fucking people!

Otherwise, why would they say "do it" when they clink glasses while drinking!?

Li Xue might be homesick, or she might be happy to see her third uncle and her family, and she was talking loudly.

Li Xuewu didn't talk much. After dinner, he and his third uncle stood on the balcony smoking and saying goodbye.

Li Xue, on the other hand, was chattering lively with her third aunt and Li Xuehan in the living room.

The distance between Beijing and Yangcheng is a rare opportunity for Li Xuewu to meet his third uncle's family thousands of miles away. It is also the reason why he misses his hometown and his relatives for a long time.

Even with the rapid transportation in this era, the dilemma of loyalty and filial piety will always exist between relatives.

Li Xuewu understood his third uncle's mood and talked a lot with him and also talked a lot about his family.

To comfort his homesickness, Li Gan could still hold back the tears in his eyes when sending his two siblings back.

He is a tough guy, but looking at his nephew and niece, he can't help but miss me.

The heart of a wanderer is a yearning that even the honey of a foreign land cannot captivate, and it is the rule whether it is success or failure.

The same goes for Li Xuewu. He was on a business trip for half a month and missed his relatives and friends.

Monday, the 27th.

In the morning, Li Huaide, accompanied by Jing Yunong and Li Xuewu, held a morning meeting for all resident personnel at the station.

Encourage them to stick to their posts, do a good job of ensuring sales for the exhibition and trade fair, and achieve greater success again.

Then, the resident representative Gou Zirong made a statement, resolutely implementing the expectations and requirements of the leadership, high standards, strict management, and striving to complete the exhibition tasks with excellence.

After sending the exhibition staff to the car and leaving, Li Xuewu and Li Huaide held the last working meeting in Yangcheng with Jing Yunong, who was in charge of the exhibition and sales work.

At the meeting, Li Xuewu explained the focus of several projects he presided over, and also handed over the follow-up key to continuing the trade fair exhibition and sales work.

In particular, he made key explanations on continued cooperation and relationship maintenance with foreign businessmen and brother units.

The work of the steel rolling mill's trade fair will continue, and the network of contacts still needs to be maintained, especially with several units in Yangcheng that have finalized cooperation intentions, and relationships need to be maintained.

If someone leaves and the relationship becomes cold, then it will not look good if we continue to cooperate.

Before Li Xuewu left, he called these units respectively to say goodbye and send invitations to Beijing.

He was a very cheerful person and promised to bear everyone's food and accommodation in Beijing, and asked them to definitely come and play.

No matter whether they really plan to go or not, if you invite them so proactively, they will feel warm in their hearts.

If you approach someone again to discuss cooperation, they will still remember your favor even if they don't go to your place.

Interpersonal communication is a very troublesome but necessary social activity.

If possible, Li Xuewu would like to communicate with close friends, close friends, and simple relatives.

But as long as you are engaged in social activities and participate in political work, without social interaction, you will destroy your future.

What is social?

Socializing means saving face. When Li Xuewu and Li Huaide were waiting for the bus, leaders from many units came to see him off.

Today we leave for the steel rolling mill, and tomorrow the leaders of some units will leave early. Those in Yangcheng, as long as we have a good relationship, we have to go and see them off.

Do you think wasting this time is useful?

Some people find it useful because there are still people discussing work with Li Huaide at the railway platform.

And some people think it's useless, such as the girls in the cultural and propaganda team. They have packed their luggage and sleepers. Looking at the old men on the platform exchanging greetings, they only feel it is fake.

"Xiaoling, would you like to wash your face?"

Zhou Miaomiao came back from the bathroom at the end of the carriage, still holding a plastic washbasin in her hand.

They bought this from a trade fair. It looks very fashionable now. It is light and strong.

She called Zhou Xiaoling, mainly asking her if she wanted to use her own soap. Before getting in the car, Zhou Xiaoling even complained that she had forgotten her soap.

Zhou Xiaoling sat on the seat by the window of the carriage, holding the small table with her hands and looking out the window, as if she hadn't heard her speak.

Zhou Miaomiao glanced at her, then followed her gaze and looked out the window. It turned out that Deputy Director Li was standing there with Director Li, talking to other unit leaders who came to see him off.

"My eyes are all about him~"

Zhou Miaomiao deliberately waved her hand in front of her face, which made Zhou Xiaoling stunned for a moment, and then she started to get angry.

"Ah~what are you talking about~"

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue repeatedly, leaning on the bed holding the book she had not finished yet, shaking her head at them.

"You're still laughing at me~"

Zhou Miaomiao nodded Xiaoxiao's forehead and whispered in her ear: "She is going to steal your hero!"

Xiaoxiao, however, looked at the book in his hand indifferently, pursed his lips and replied: "A hero is never alone. I would like to see more people like him."

"You are quite noble~"

Zhou Miaomiao was squeaked by Zhou Xiaoling, she muttered something, turned around and started laughing and making trouble with Zhou Xiaoling.

Xiaoxiao glanced at them and then looked out the window. The greetings there had ended and the leaders had all boarded the car.

They were in the hard sleeper compartment, and the leaders were in the soft sleeper compartment, separated by a door and a mountain.

The train slid slowly along the tracks and headed north.

------------------

The return trip was no less stressful than when I left, but it was still very busy.

Li Huaide and Li Xuewu made full use of the conference room and office on the train to sort out the work they brought back from Yangcheng.

October is coming to an end, the harvest brought back by the exchange must be smoothly implemented, and the work in the capital must be picked up again.

Li Haiyang and Sha Qizhi were also busy with the people in the office, sorting and summarizing the materials handed over by Li Huaide and Li Xuewu, and working on the work meetings that the two leaders would hold after arriving in Beijing.

During this period, Li Huaide and Li Xuewu held several small meetings to communicate and exchange ideas on issues related to the Steel City Industrial Production Base and the Beijing Light Industry Production Base.

The trade management center that has been deployed in Tianjin will also be fully adjusted and supplemented before the end of the year.

When the two of them are together, their work efficiency is surprisingly high.

One can see further, the other is proficient in business, and all the questions submitted have clear answers in the communication.

As deputy director of the management committee, Li Xuewu also presided over the preparation of Li Huaide's work plan for the next month.

Based on the year-end summary, the work he arranged for Li Huaide was directly scheduled until the end of December, and there were even some long-term tasks whose deadlines were extended to next year.

Li Huaide looked at the long list of work plans and regretted letting Li Xuewu take charge of this work.

This is still a basic work plan and does not include what he requested or temporary changes.
