Chapter 1706 Accident
Li Xuewu absolutely did not believe that the higher-ups had made dumplings just for him, but the fact that he was notified to return to Beijing to attend a meeting of organizational cadres of the industrial and transportation system 10 hours before the meeting still seemed too deliberate.
First of all, he was the last member of the leadership team of Honggang Group, and his positions were Secretary-General and Assistant General Manager.
If one had to link him to organizational work, the only connection would be his role as the general manager of the Northeast Industrial Development Corporation.
But is Northeast Industrial Group qualified to participate in meetings organized by the State Council?
Even though he made a big splash in Liaodong, expanded the scope of his activities, and achieved remarkable results in three years with far-reaching impact, but...
Sitting on the plane, Li Xuewu frowned as he looked at the dark night sky, unable to understand why he had been notified to attend this meeting.
The second unbelievable thing is that he had not yet made any preparations to report to the higher-ups on behalf of Honggang Group.
Whether Lao Li believed it or not, he never contacted any leaders of higher-level organizations, including those at the city or ministry levels, privately or publicly.
His relationship with Zheng Shusen was established before he became a leader of the group, but even though he called Zheng Shusen "godfather," he never asked his godfather to do any personal favors over the years.
Another reason was that he was summoned by the leaders of the department. Every time he went, Lao Li knew about it, and it was even Lao Li who notified him.
What was special about this meeting was that Director Han from the General Office of the Ministry called him directly, asking him to attend the meeting at 8 a.m. the next morning.
Only Honggang Group has the capability to do this. The crew of Hongxing-1 received a last-minute notification and completed the takeoff preparation procedures in three hours.
"Secretary-General, Captain Zhou has confirmed that we will arrive in Beijing as planned. You should rest for a while."
Zhou Xiaoling walked lightly to his side, whispered a report, and bent down to pick up the blanket that had slipped to the ground at some point.
"Hmm, it's nothing, go ahead and do your thing."
Li Xuewu snapped out of his daze, looked at her, and smiled slightly, saying, "Thank you for your hard work carrying out the flight mission so late at night."
"It's our job, and it's our honor to serve you."
Zhou Xiaoling smiled sincerely, helped him cover himself with the blanket again, and when she saw her colleague bringing over a cup of hot milk, she reached out, took it, and placed it beside him.
"We didn't offer you any more tea, but a cup of hot milk will help you rest."
"Thank you." Li Xuewu nodded, speaking to another waiter, and took a sip of the milk; it really did taste pure.
"I rarely drink it, but my kids like it."
Seeing that the two were looking at him strangely, he smiled and shook his head, explaining, "I don't really like the taste; it's too weak."
It was because not much milk had gone down the glass that Zhou Xiaoling and her colleagues looked at him like a kindergarten teacher would look at a naughty child.
Li Xuewu, having been caught red-handed, felt rather embarrassed that such a grown man was causing this young girl so much worry.
After explaining, he picked up the milk and took a big gulp.
“If you really can’t stand the taste, I’ll switch to red wine for you,” Zhou Xiaoling said, suppressing a smile. “Red wine can also help you sleep.”
"Forget it, I can't stand red wine at all." Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "This is fine. I can't sleep because I'm thinking about things."
"Hongmei, you should go and rest first."
Zhou Xiaoling turned her head and whispered something to her group members. After they left, she sat down opposite Li Xuewu.
"Boss, if you can't sleep, I'll keep you company."
The only response she received was the snoring of Ma Baosen, who was sitting not far behind Li Xuewu. The kid had fallen asleep shortly after takeoff.
He received a last-minute notice that he couldn't return to Beijing alone; in case of any need, he needed someone to give instructions.
Qi Yan was also on the plane. When Zhou Xiaoling and the others came over, he got up to check on them, but seeing that nothing was wrong, he lay back down.
His sense of responsibility as a driver was greater than that of Li Xuewu's previous drivers, stemming from his gratitude towards the Gu family.
Li Xuewu is the son-in-law of the Gu family, and he has worked for the Gu family for many years. He has received great care from the elder and Teacher Ding, so how could he not do his best?
Therefore, he was both Li Xuewu's driver and the secretary-general's bodyguard.
"Aren't you sleepy?" Li Xuewu smiled and looked her over, asking, "Were you called here from home?"
"It's alright, I'm used to it." Zhou Xiaoling smiled, placed her hands on her knees, and answered softly, "Our entire flight service team lives in one unit, so if there's anything, we can just shout and everyone will be there."
Are there many flight missions now?
Li Xuewu was also chatting aimlessly, leaning back in his chair with his eyes slightly closed.
“More than last year.” Zhou Xiaoling reached out and placed her hand on his leg, helping him to put his calf on the footrest opposite him so he could lie down.
"I can clearly feel that I'm more tired than last year."
She smiled, straightened the blanket, and said, "The service department has submitted an application to the shipping service center to recruit new staff."
"Hmm, has the labor service company approved it?"
Li Xuewu leaned back comfortably in his chair, looked at her, and asked, "How many people are you planning to recruit this time?"
"I heard it's already been approved, and I've already received the training notice."
Zhou Xiaoling raised her eyebrows and said, "It's not that I'm receiving training, it's that I'm being asked to teach the new recruits who are about to be hired."
"You're going to be a teacher, right? Great."
Li Xuewu said with a smile, "That shows that you have strong work ability and outstanding performance."
"I wouldn't dare," Zhou Xiaoling covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "How could someone like me be worthy of the title of teacher?"
"I'm just there to train people; at most, I'm a coach."
She looked at him with admiration and said, "Only someone with talent like yours should be called a teacher."
"Actually, I was quite embarrassed when I was first called 'teacher'," Li Xuewu said with a smile. "But I gradually got used to it."
"I have a clear conscience about my teaching work, and I am worthy of being called a teacher."
He looked at Zhou Xiaoling gently and said, "If you can also do your best to impart your experience and insights, then you will be Teacher Zhou."
"Thank you—" Zhou Xiaoling bravely took his hand and said with emotion in her voice, "Thank you for your encouragement, I definitely will."
"Your work is of utmost importance."
Li Xuewu shook her hand and said, "You have ideals and aspirations. You should summarize your experience in your work and form a systematic theoretical knowledge."
"You mean—" Zhou Xiaoling paused, then asked, "You want me to write all this down?"
“You guys should have the habit of taking notes, right?” Li Xuewu nodded and said, “You can take notes on any special situations you encounter and how you handled them, including debriefings, and even good experiences summarized from your daily work.”
“You’ve been working as a flight attendant for so long, you must have some experience that others don’t know.”
He encouraged, "Once you organize and summarize this experience and theory, and verify its correctness, you can then pass it on to others."
"If you can systematically organize a set of procedures and methods, then you can write a guidebook on aviation services."
"That's too much—" Zhou Xiaoling said embarrassedly, "I have a background in dance and only have a vocational school education. I haven't had many academic classes."
“Some knowledge can’t be learned from textbooks, and some knowledge is even more so.” He smiled at Zhou Xiaoling and said, “Your experience certainly wasn’t learned from textbooks, was it?”
“We were the first batch, so we didn’t have any textbooks,” Zhou Xiaoling said with a smile, pursing her lips. “We figured it all out little by little.”
"Of what the navigation instructors taught us back then, not much of it could actually be applied to our work, but it was still a basic foundation."
"Isn't this great? It's unprecedented and will never be repeated."
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "If it were me, I would write a book. Our group's publishing house has professional guidance and support policies for publishing books."
"May I ask you for guidance?"
Zhou Xiaoling looked at him hopefully and said, "I don't even know how to write the first character, so I really don't know how to write it."
“It’s okay, write it down and I’ll find someone to look at it for you.” Li Xuewu nodded and said, “I’m not a professional in aviation and service work, so I can’t give you more reasonable advice, but I can use my connections to help you.”
"Thank you, boss—" Zhou Xiaoling shook his hand, her eyes full of tenderness, "I don't know how to thank you enough."
"This is one of my occupational hazards."
Li Xuewu said with a helpless smile, "Not to mention our group, every industry lacks professional guidance books."
"I do hope that our group's cadres and employees can carefully summarize their experiences and lessons learned, share these methods and approaches, and make progress together."
“You’re looking at it from a higher perspective; we wouldn’t even consider that.”
Zhou Xiaoling explained, "We're already used to the things we encounter at work. Once we've learned how to handle them, we just casually teach them to our colleagues."
“Human strength has its limits, but learning is a systematic process.” Li Xuewu looked at her and said, “The invention of books is precisely the progress made through oral transmission.”
"Thank you—" Zhou Xiaoling pursed her lips and looked at him sincerely, saying, "Even though I've said it several times, I still—"
"Hehehe—" Li Xuewu chuckled and nodded, indicating his understanding.
He withdrew his hand, patted her hand, and said, "Alright, you go and rest too, I'll take a nap."
"Then I won't bother you any longer."
Zhou Xiaoling stood up and said softly, "Please call me if you need anything. We are always on duty."
"Okay, go ahead." Li Xuewu nodded and waved his hand.
As Zhou Xiaoling left, she couldn't help but glance at Ma Baosen again. What a secretary! The boss wasn't even asleep yet, and he was already snoring.
In all her years of flying, this was truly the first time she had ever seen a secretary like this, which also shows how tolerant the secretary-general is of his subordinates.
The Red Star No. 1 is operated by the public, and ordinary people are not allowed to take charter flights. She has seen people who are bossy and domineering towards their entourage before.
The only advantage of working as a flight attendant is that you get to see the world, meet all kinds of people, and even people whose names you can't reveal in private or in public.
-
"Hello, Secretary-General, I am Chen Guang, the secretary of the General Manager's Office."
At 3:00 AM, the Red Star No. 1 landed on time at Beijing Airport. After the plane came to a stop, a black Red Flag aircraft and a cruiser painted with the colors of the Group's Security Department slid up one after the other and came to a steady stop near the gangway.
Several security officers waited by the car with a young man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes.
When the secretary-general and his entourage walked out of the cabin door amidst the farewells of the flight attendants, the young clerk was the first to approach the gangway.
This is the first time Li Xuewu has met Chen Guang, but he has already received a message from Liu Wei saying that the general manager's office has hired several secretaries.
Indeed, after Liu Bin's incident, President Li realized that once bitten, twice shy.
If one secretary is too conspicuous, and something goes wrong, the leader will always think that he is not strict in managing his subordinates. If that's what he's thinking, then he'll just need more secretaries.
As the general manager of Honggang Group, isn't it reasonable for him to have three secretaries?
With three secretaries serving him, if anything goes wrong, it's the secretaries' problem and has nothing to do with the leader.
If one of them had an accident, why didn't the other two?
This gave Old Li something to say.
Sometimes Li Xuewu really admired Lao Li's brain; he wasn't good at anything else, but he always came up with some crooked ideas for this kind of thing.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Li Xuewu had taken a nap on the way. When he was woken up, he was a little tired. He simply shook hands and said a few words.
Seeing that the secretary-general's secretary and driver were carrying luggage, Chen Guang didn't say anything else and gestured for him to get into the car.
"Mr. Li knew you were coming back, so he didn't go home tonight. He's waiting for you at the Tuanjie Hotel and we've arranged to meet tomorrow morning."
"Yes, I understand." Li Xuewu was already prepared; the notification came so suddenly, there was no reason why Old Li wouldn't know.
Given Lao Li's scheming nature and abilities, it's impossible that he didn't know that Director Han had called him, so the appearance of the big red flag was not surprising.
Qi Yan put the luggage in the trunk of the Hongqi car, then walked somewhat domineeringly to the driver's seat and knocked on the window to signal the driver to get out.
"Old Wang, hand the car over to Comrade Qi Yan."
Chen Guangxian glanced at the secretary-general who was getting into the car, then turned to his driver and said, "Go to the car in front."
"Okay." The driver didn't care who was driving the car; the group's leaders were sitting in the back, and he just had to follow orders.
The Secretary-General's driver has always acted this way; it's not unusual for a small motorcade.
Ma Baosen tactfully opened the back door for Chen Guang, indicating that he wanted to sit in the passenger seat.
Helpless, Chen Guang could only sit with the secretary-general in the back.
The car belonged to the group's general manager, but the positions of driver and secretary had been filled by the secretary-general's people, which put Chen Guang under a lot of pressure.
What put him under even more pressure was sitting in the back with the secretary-general, his back constantly tense, afraid that he might say the wrong thing.
The three of them were selected, and it was thought that it would be a selection of the best of the best, but it turned out that they would be sharing the same position.
Three general manager secretaries, the same position, but the value of the job has plummeted.
They used to call the general manager's secretary "chief secretary," but now nobody knows what to call him anymore, and there's even a distance between the three of them.
Li Xuewu knew that this was another of Lao Li's little schemes. The three secretaries couldn't possibly be united, which saved him the time and effort of supervising them.
This kind of rolling technique was something only the eunuchs in the palace could pull off back then; these young people are still too green.
Li Xuewu didn't say a word the whole way, just closed his eyes and rested in his seat.
Qi Yan didn't ask him where he was going. After Chen Guang finished reporting, he didn't say anything else, which meant that this was how the arrangement would be made.
We can't expect that when he gets back, the general manager will be waiting for him at the Unity Hotel to meet him in the morning, and he'll just go straight home and sleep after getting off the plane.
I got off the plane at 3:00, and I didn't get home until 3:30. Not to mention the trouble for my family, how many hours of sleep could I get?
So when the car arrived at the Tuanjie Hotel, he only said one sentence to Chen Guang before taking Qi Yan and the other upstairs to rest.
Although he had been up and about for a while, he was still sleepy lying in bed. Director Han said the report was at 8 o'clock, and Lao Li's appointment was at 6:30, so he could still sleep for more than two hours.
Sleeping is better than not sleeping. I'm already back, so there's no point in thinking about it anymore. So I quickly started snoring after lying down in bed.
When Ma Baosen came to wake him a little after six, he had almost recovered his energy, after all, he was young.
"Mr. Li is waiting for you at the restaurant for breakfast."
"Okay, I understand." Li Xuewu replied, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and washed his face and brushed his teeth to take care of personal hygiene.
At 6:30, he arrived at the restaurant on time. Seeing Li Huaide waving, he learned that breakfast had already been prepared for him.
"This treatment is too generous; I am truly humbled."
Li Xuewu came to the dining table and made a joke on his own initiative.
Old Li smiled, waved for him to sit down, and explained, "Knowing you're short on time, I had Xiao Hu prepare breakfast for you."
He raised his hand and gestured, "If you need anything else, just tell them and they'll get it for you."
"Alright, that's enough." Li Xuewu picked up an egg and looked at him, saying, "You can have some too, let's eat and chat."
That's why he said he was extremely apprehensive. Having eggs for breakfast—that's a high standard; most people wouldn't dare to eat like that.
Li Shu and Li Ning have a good family with good parents, so they can eat like this from a young age. Children from ordinary families can't even afford to eat eggshells.
Even in 71, when the shortage of supplies gradually eased, eggs were no longer readily available.
The fact that his breakfast was prepared to such a high standard only shows that Old Li has high standards for breakfast and that he really values his life.
"Okay, let's eat and chat." Old Li also picked up an egg and started peeling it, explaining at the same time, "I didn't go back when I heard you were coming back."
"I played mahjong on the third floor all night last night." He chuckled and said, "Old Bao from the credit union almost pawned his pants, hahaha."
"How did you manage to get him to play mahjong?" Li Xuewu placed the eggs on a plate, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Didn't he swear he wouldn't play mahjong anymore?"
"Don't listen to his nonsense—" Old Li said with a laugh, "Does an oath made at the mahjong table still hold true?"
"You two are evenly matched, like two equally talented individuals."
Li Xuewu showed no mercy to Lao Li when it came to mahjong skills, and Lao Li fell for it.
He developed a set of criteria for judging people: only those who dare to fight and kill at the mahjong table are true to their nature.
If you praise him for playing mahjong well, he'll secretly despise you. But a master like Li Xuewu, who wins every time, doesn't care about being criticized.
"That's why I'm willing to hang out with him," Old Li said with a chuckle. "I gave him a nickname, 'Guaranteed to Lose Everything,' hahaha."
"Hehe—" Li Xuewu also found it funny, but it was Old Li who was laughing at him. He was already called the Money-Giving Boy, yet he still had the nerve to give others nicknames.
The two exchanged a few jokes and drank some porridge before getting down to business.
"Director Han called me after he called you, to tell me that you would be attending the meeting instead."
Li Huaide looked at him and said, "You should be prepared that the higher-ups may very well want to see you."
"See me?" Li Xuewu raised an eyebrow and said, "Why? Is this meeting just to see me?"
"How could that be? It was just a coincidence."
Li Huaide shook his head slightly and explained, "They probably saw our group's name and called your name."
"So, I'll go in your place?"
Li Xuewu frowned slightly and asked, "Is there something going on here? Or rather..."
"Don't worry about that. No, I already asked." Li Huaide ate the egg, took a sip of porridge, and explained to him, "It was arranged by Director Du."
"What's going on here?" Li Xuewu was confused and didn't mince words with Old Li, asking directly, "What does Director Du mean?"
"Don't overthink it, it's not as complicated as you think."
Li Huaide nodded and said, "I saw the list, and your name was mentioned. Director Du was there, and after he came back, he had Director Han contact you and change your name to participate in the meeting."
As Lu Xun once said, "If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear."
He hasn't done anything particularly wrong, but he's certainly schemed against others quite a bit. Come to think of it, has he ever caused any problems?
Su Weide was one of them. Even he didn't expect that Old Su could actually contact... even though he was just a small-time Karami.
He did everything he could. Even if his actions were noticed by his superiors, it only shows that he is a principled and impartial good cadre.
If it wasn't a chain reaction caused by Suweide, then it could only mean that his work had been approved by those above.
This isn't narcissism on his part, but rather a reflection of his current position as the head of Honggang Group. It's unavoidable, and he must, actively participate in the group's strategic planning and management.
In this way, his name will definitely be on the Honggang Group's report card, and his efforts will definitely be recognized.
It's important to understand that the report card wasn't written by just one person from Honggang Group; it was jointly recognized by the city and the ministry, and it can withstand scrutiny and investigation.
Li Xuewu knew that none of his actions could be hidden from his superiors, so he never thought of using his power for personal gain.
He wouldn't dare say he's completely upright, but he can certainly say he has a clear conscience.
Everyone says that the success of Honggang Group is the success of its leadership team, and even Lao Li says so. But what is the reality?
Everyone knows that the success of the group does not fully represent the success of an individual. It is how much you contribute to the success of the group that determines how much of that success you receive in the eyes of your superiors.
Without a doubt, almost everyone agrees, and even Su Weide privately acknowledges Li Xuewu's contributions to the Honggang Group.
However, such words can only be said by others; Li Xuewu himself would not even think about them, and he would even humbly refuse if others said them.
If he keeps thinking like this day and night, and thinks too highly of himself, then he's not far from falling down.
The reason why Li Huaide remained vigilant towards him yet steadfastly employed him was precisely this.
This secretary-general is clear about his position and never says or does anything beyond his ability or discretion.
While it is precisely because of this that he is wary, targeting such disciplined officials only shows that he lacks tolerance.
"Director Han was afraid you would overthink things, so he asked me to talk to you."
Li Huaide paid attention to health preservation, and as Li Shun instructed, he did everything except stay up late to play mahjong.
After eating his breakfast slowly, he said in a very easygoing manner, "It's just a normal meeting. What's wrong with you representing the group at the meeting?"
He looked at Li Xuewu and asked with a smile, "As the group's secretary-general and assistant general manager, can't you represent the group?"
“That’s not what I meant.” Li Xuewu paused, then said, “I’m still not mentally prepared.”
"We all started from this step."
Li Huaide patted his thigh under the table and whispered, "If you keep agonizing over this, Comrade Wan Quan will be even more conflicted."
He raised an eyebrow and said, "People will say you're acting innocent after getting the benefit—"
"Hehe—" Li Xuewu knew who he was talking about, smiled, shook his head and said, "What's meant to be his will be his, and what's not meant to be his is no use thinking about it."
"Hey! That's the kind of spirit we need!"
Li Huaide tapped him and said, "You're so young, why are you acting like an old man? You need to show some 'I'm the only one who can do this' spirit!"
Li Xuewu wouldn't believe him. If things got really heated, he would be the first to kill Old Li.
If we're talking about sparking reflection and rectification of an era, what could be more pragmatic than dealing with a general manager who led the group for many years?
So, Old Li's dream of climbing to a higher level should be abandoned. If Li Xuewu doesn't let go, he'll never reach that level.
When an opportunity arises, Li Xuewu always wants to relax a bit and let someone cause him some trouble. By the time the trouble is dealt with, the opportunity will have passed.
So these past few years, Old Li has lamented his bad luck and the rise of villains, saying that he is fortunate to have his protector. Hearing this made Li Xuewu feel quite embarrassed.

"The first deputy director of the group's management committee, who is in charge of organizational work, did not attend the organizational cadre work meeting, but instead sent a secretary-general to attend."
Cheng Kaiyuan turned his gaze away from the departing car and looked back at Zhou Wanquan, who was sitting behind his desk, asking, "Is this reasonable?"
Zhou Wanquan stared at the pen in his hand. He wanted to say that it was unreasonable, but at this moment, his words were useless and meaningless.
Compared to Li Huaide, his sources of information were not particularly delayed; he learned of the result after Director Han spoke with Gangcheng.
He didn't care much about these meetings; they weren't really important meetings, and in fact, Lao Li didn't want to attend them.
It was already said to be a meeting for organizing cadres, organized by the State Council, so he must have attended.
After it happened many times, he naturally didn't care anymore, but what he cared about was that he didn't go, but Li Xuewu did.
So what was Li Xuewu going to do?
He no longer cared about the significance of the meeting itself, and frowned as he pondered Cheng Kaiyuan's question: Was this reasonable?
"If you ask me, you're still too shy."
Cheng Kaiyuan, with a smug look on his face, stood in Zhou Wanquan's spacious office and said indignantly, "Don't be so fixated on your background as a city cadre. You should communicate more with the ministry."
"Yes, that's a valid point."
Zhou Wanquan was annoyed by him, but still smiled and said, "It seems I'm too shy."
"Hey—" Cheng Kaiyuan looked at him with an expression that suggested he was a teachable child, which disgusted Zhou Wanquan to no end.
"But don't overthink it, I don't think it's that complicated."
He analyzed for Zhou Wanquan: "It's definitely not that General Manager Li is deliberately making things difficult for you. Perhaps something at the meeting is related to the Secretary-General."
"Or maybe the leaders just want to see him." Cheng Kaiyuan raised his eyebrows, looking like he knew everything, and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. He's so young, of course the leaders are more interested in him. It's normal."
It would have been better if he hadn't said that; after he did, Zhou Wanquan was even more upset.
After returning from the last trip to Japan, it was clear that the ministry was paying close attention to and valuing Li Xuewu, and now this has happened again.
He has been working at Honggang Group for almost a year, and as time goes on, the city's expectations and support for him are declining sharply.
To put it bluntly, the city's initial expectations for his work at Honggang Group were not very high.
He successfully succeeded Gu Weijie as the first deputy director, but looking back now, he realizes he was tricked by Gu Weijie.
Gu Weijie's influence in Honggang Group wasn't that high to begin with. By handing everything over to him, he didn't gain much advantage but instead got himself into this mess.
As Gu Weijie's successor, the two had previously worked together seamlessly, which he deliberately did to create an appearance of closeness.
Of course, it was to better accept Gu Weijie's network of connections, but I never expected that I would also have to accept the promises that Gu Weijie had made back then.
Simply put, Gu Weijie had promised to handle personnel matters as well as possible, otherwise it would inevitably cause a backlash.
Personnel matters are difficult enough to handle, but he also has to deal with other more complex situations. He has to accept all the old rules and regulations.
If he makes any changes, people will inevitably say he's unprofessional and dishonest. As soon as Deputy Director Gu left, he changed his tune.
So, although he appeared to have become the first deputy director of Honggang Group, he actually had unspeakable suffering.
Even someone like Cheng Kaiyuan dared to come to his office and spout nonsense; you can imagine how awkward his situation must be now.
The city couldn't provide much support, which was also related to his lack of influence within the group. As a result, Li Huaide was able to get more support from the ministry.
He never expected that Li Huaide's deliberate difficulties for him, and Li Xuewu's willingness to let him compete for the position, were all a facade.
In reality, no one within the Honggang Group was willing to compete; even Gu Weijie himself felt it was a relief.
During the period of intensive study activities, organizational and management work is inherently abstract, and it is difficult to achieve any significant results or make any substantial contributions in this area.
Gu Weijie was recognized by the higher authorities because of her contributions to employee placement and talent recruitment.
It's important to understand that without the support of other business department heads, it's absolutely impossible to achieve results in engineering construction, personnel placement, and talent recruitment.
Was it Gu Weijie's superior ability, or was Li Huaide deliberately lenient, with the other vice presidents giving her face?
Just think about it. Everyone says that Li Xuewu's relationship with Gu Weijie and Jing Yunong is just so-so, but in his opinion, this makes no sense.
Li Xuewu is a business cadre and has no conflicts with the organization.
Even if it were Old Li's side that needed it, given the Secretary-General's personality, he wouldn't get involved; it's definitely a facade.
All the illusions were exposed the moment he took office as the first deputy director, leaving him completely bewildered.
After he sat down in this office, he didn't accomplish any of the instructions the city gave him, because any instructions issued from his office had to go through the secretary-general's channel for execution.
Li Xuewu wasn't home, but Liu Wei was.
Liu Wei, the deputy secretary-general, was highly regarded by Li Huaide, and other members of the leadership team also affirmed her abilities.
The key point is that she comes from a steel city, and her previous work experience has nothing to do with Honggang Group, so no one will find fault with her.
However, Zhou Wanquan knew that once his instructions passed through her hands, it would be disastrous if they were passed on to her.
What could he say?
Investigate and find out exactly which link went wrong, and who was deliberately delaying his instructions and deliberately not carrying them out.
Stop joking around. That would completely expose the fact that he's a coward and cause a backlash from below.
Can he say that Liu Wei did it on purpose?
No, because no matter how he investigated, Liu Wei always handled his opinions according to normal procedures and never delayed him.
To suggest anything is even more absurd. He has already provided a document with proposed solutions. Would the deputy secretary-general dare to add his own opinions?
This kind of thing could only happen to Li Xuewu, because the entire group tacitly agrees that the secretary-general has the right to handle any work.
On his very first day, Zhou Wanquan knew that his competitor was none other than Li Xuewu, who was poised to make his move.
He worked in the steel city for three years, propelling Honggang Group to the entire Northeast and even extending its influence to the whole of Northeast Asia.
He dared not imagine how his former colleagues would laugh at him for competing with such a young cadre, saying that he was bullying the younger ones.
But unexpectedly, he has now become a laughing stock, with everyone saying that he was bullied so badly by the younger generation.
Everyone says that Honggang Group has a complex organizational structure. Before he came, he wondered to himself, how complex could it be?
Looking back now, I realize I was too naive and immature.
Look at that incessant chatter of the deputy general manager in his office, is this even a human being?
Let's not talk about the shameful things Cheng Kaiyuan did back then, since it's all in the past and he's already been punished.
But what right does this guy have to teach him how to do things?
People with moral failings will not be treated as typical examples during this period, but they have already been labeled in everyone's mind.
So, even after all these years, he, who is in charge of the group's production, is still ranked low.
He wanted to ask Cheng Kaiyuan if this was reasonable.
As instructed by Director Han, he arrived at the venue entrance in a Volga M24 before 8:00 AM and then climbed the steps with the others.
There's a reason why this venue will be envied by America's eccentric friend in the future; just standing here gives you an aura.
He wanted to keep a low profile, but in this era, his height and appearance made him stand out from the crowd.
The key point is that he is too young, and he is wearing the iconic black and white of the Red Steel Group, with an exquisitely detailed badge on his chest that is eye-catching.
Such attire and badges wouldn't attract much attention at the group headquarters or the head office of the company, but it's different here.
The name "Honggang Group" itself is a symbol, representing an isolated entity within the context of a fully planned economy.
Li Huaide's reputation and high standing in the industrial and transportation system are entirely due to the achievements of Honggang Group, which gave him confidence.
When Li Xuewu stood here representing Honggang Group, he was full of confidence, and he could face others' discussions about his identity with composure.
The meeting is scheduled for 9 o'clock, but they need to attend a group discussion beforehand and also need time to prepare.
Because the leaders attending the meeting were special, everyone had to accommodate each other's time and schedules, so the process was very rigid.
Li Xuewu could not hide his extraordinary aura, but he still acted very modestly, doing whatever others did.
They followed the crowd, nodding and smiling at acquaintances they encountered.
It's not that no one wanted to get to know him at this time, but the schedule was tight and no one had time for casual conversation.
So I looked at him, wanting to have a spiritual connection with him.
Li Xuewu calls this "extortion," and he's trying to keep a low profile right now, so how could he possibly expand his social circle at this time?
Besides, the friends we're making at this point aren't really friends, so I think it's better to just have a proper meeting.
It's actually quite strange to others that he would be the one to convene a meeting for cadres of the Industrial and Transportation Group at this particular time.
As far as Honggang Group is concerned, it is well-known in the industrial and transportation system and is a key industrial enterprise, so it is qualified to participate in the meeting.
But it's quite unexpected that he's sitting here to express his opinion or offer suggestions; he wasn't prepared at all.
He listened attentively and took careful notes throughout the meeting until, after the meeting ended, a middle-aged man wearing a polyester short-sleeved shirt came to find him.
