Chapter 1331 Something's wrong
The autumn breeze blows gently, like a thread, bringing a hint of coolness, awakening the sleeping big "brother".
Li Xuewu turned over and patted the bed beside him, ready to play another round, but found that he had hit nothing.
When I looked up, I saw a dreamy person wearing a white gauze pajamas, sitting lazily in front of the dressing table, combing her hair.
“I had a dream when I first started working.”
With his hands behind his neck and his arms resting on the pillow, Li Xuewu admired the graceful figure of Deputy Director Jing.
"I dream of a day when I don't have to go to work, when the morning light won't wake me up, when the warmth of my bed is worth a thousand gold coins, and I love to daydream."
Seeing the person in the mirror 7 rolled his eyes at him, Li Xuewu was not discouraged. He continued with an expectant smile on his face: "At that time, I didn't understand the source of my longing for the quilt."
"now I know."
Deputy Director Jing ignored him, so Li Xuewu started talking to himself, lifted the quilt, and didn't feel embarrassed about being the first to stick his head out.
"I know the line in the poem, 'Spring nights are short and the sun rises high, from then on the king no longer attends court early.' Actually, this cannot be blamed on Li Longji."
He smiled, propped himself up, leaned against the bed and admired today's crush more boldly.
"You men always use romance to capture women, and when you do something wrong, you ruthlessly expose your evil and selfish nature."
Jing Yunong put skin care products on his face, turned around and looked at him and said, "You are better at blaming all the mistakes on your rage for the beauty and your misguided daydreaming."
“And then?” She said with some resentment: “In the end, they used the term rosy skull to describe the beauty they once pursued.”
"Tell me, are you guys going too far?"
"Uh..." Li Xuewu hesitated in the face of Deputy Director Jing's random punches, and said, "I am still too naive and have no emotional experience. I can't answer your overly serious question."
He saw that Man 7 rolled his eyes, which was a mockery of his daring to do things but not to take responsibility for them, and he felt extremely wronged.
"How about you wait for me first, wait for me to be a heartless man, Chen Shimei, and then give you a heart-wrenching realization and answer?"
"Aren't you Chen Shimei now——"
Deputy Director Jing glanced at the man behind him in the mirror, his lips slightly pursed, as if expressing some emotion.
Li Xuewu now feels even more wronged.
He dared to swear on the heads of twenty-one alliance leaders that he strictly abided by the three laws of office romance with Deputy Director Jing.
Don’t take the initiative, don’t refuse, don’t…
Now that you put it that way, it does seem a bit scumbag, doesn't it?
"What did Lao Li talk to you about that day?"
Jing Yunong is not as sentimental as the little girl. He would not get angry and upset because of a word, and his emotions would disappear in an instant.
Since there is no youth, then let time take away the charm and temperament left over from her youth.
Xu Niang is still young and charming.
The mature Deputy Director Jing turned around, leaned his arms on the dressing table, folded his right leg and looked at the man on the bed seriously.
She recovered her strength while waiting for his answer.
Or rather, his attitude.
If he still trusts himself and feels that some things can be made clear, he will not avoid this issue.
Li Xuewu really didn't intend to avoid it. He didn't hesitate for even a second and said frankly: "He wants to gamble with me, but he can't afford it."
"No wonder." Jing Yunong understood his nonsense and nodded in understanding, combing his smooth hair with his fingers slightly spread out. "I felt that he was in a bad mood on the way back that day."
"He never thought that you would react so violently?"
"Maybe. Holding all the power will always give people a kind of blind self-confidence that makes them look down on the world and have a sure victory."
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, looked at Jingren7 and asked, "Have you ever experienced this feeling?"
"Looking down on the world? Or are you sure of victory?" Deputy Director Jing rolled his eyes and pouted, "On your body?"
She knew that this bad guy would start talking nonsense in less than three sentences.
"How did you convince him?"
"He's not like you, he won't admit defeat." Li Xuewu started talking nonsense again, with a teasing smile on his face, he said: "I never expected to gain his full trust and support, it's unrealistic."
"But I am also confident that he will respect my opinion, because he is not so confident that he forgets himself and still has some self-awareness."
"It seems like you two really have a good match in cooperation." Jing Yunong shook his head slightly and said with emotion: "You are a natural match—"
"If you're talking about politics and work, then I think we're a perfect match."
Li Xuewu looked into Deputy Director Jing's eyes calmly and boldly, and asked meaningfully, "What do you think?"
"Me? I think you're just a gangster."
Deputy Director Jing certainly won't spoil him. She knows Li Xuewu too well now. He's a little ruffian and a little bandit.
How did Lu Xun say that? If you push someone's nose, you'll get in his face; if you take off your pants, you'll get on his bed.
"You are a gangster in politics." Jing Yunong stood up, walked to the bedside facing Li Xuewu's gaze, pointed his finger at the tip of his nose, and said with a charming look, "A bandit at work."
"Since you've said that, then isn't it reasonable for me to take you back to be my wife?"
Li Xuewu held her in his arms and pressed her domineeringly. Seeing the panic and interest in Jing Ren7's eyes, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Beauty, you are mine now."
“Hmm——” Feeling Li Xuewu’s dominance, Jing Yunong could no longer bear it, and his body became limp like a puddle of mud.
At this moment, he just patted his strong shoulders weakly a few times, and then naturally transitioned from being half-reluctant to taking the initiative.
"I just finished cleaning it up and it was all wasted again."
Although she was scolding Li Xuewu for his recklessness, she lost the initiative while catching her breath and completely gave up resistance. She put her arms around Li Xuewu's neck, ready to face the storm.
After all, she is young, and she has forgotten how long it has been since the man at home showed such warmth and effort.
"Ah—you—"
Being suddenly picked up by him, Jing Yunong reminded him in a panic: "Don't do this, I'm a little scared——"
"I thought you were battle-hardened and experienced."
Li Xuewu looked at her playfully and said with a smile: "It seems that you still have a lot of postures to learn."
"How do you do it? Life and work, two faces."
Jing Yunong was also quite bold. He was held up from below. He released the hand that was around his neck and pinched his face. He raised his eyebrows as if to fight back and asked, "Are you wearing a mask?"
"Well, I'm a hypocrite."
Li Xuewu nodded seriously and said, "I am a cold deputy director of finance at work, but I am passionate after get off work..."
"Don't say that—ah—"
Before he could finish his words, Jing Yunong covered his mouth.
But she forgot that she was completely in the other party's "control" and had no chance to resist.
Li Xuewu only took one step and she lost the strength to object. She could only use her eyes to remind him not to be too presumptuous.
But the instructions Li Xuewu saw were: Continue, don't stop.
The result is……
I ask you how much you can draw, it is like a river of spring water flowing into the cave.
-
"Why?" Zhou Zechuan frowned slightly, looked at Deputy Director Su and asked in confusion: "The Jinmen Shunfeng Trading Joint Venture Company is not our branch, is there any need to investigate it?"
"If you suspect they are not complying with the rules and conditions of their dealership, you can disqualify them."
He carefully looked at Deputy Director Su, who was sitting across from him at the desk. Seeing that he looked somewhat unhappy, he stopped blurting out his confusion and complaints.
Yes, Zhou Zechuan was somewhat complaining at this time because of Deputy Director Su's instructions to him and the tone of his voice.
He understood Deputy Director Su very well and was grateful to him for giving him the opportunity to improve himself and gain experience.
But he is not Deputy Director Su's apprentice, nor is he his servant. How can he be so domineering?
If Deputy Director Su is still in charge of discipline and supervision work, this instruction and request can be justified.
Even if his leader asked him to investigate not the group's branches or relevant cadres, he would still be serious and responsible.
But now he is the director of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Department, and the discipline inspection and supervision work is under the charge of Deputy Director Gu.
Don't say that he is heartless. Whoever gives you milk is your mother. This is organizational work, not a personal relationship.
Today, Deputy Director Su called him to have a talk. He started by saying that there were certain problems with the distribution unit of the Tianjin Trade Management Center (branch), a subsidiary sales company of the group, and asked him to check it out.
Check? Check what?
This isn't his first day at work, nor is this his first day working in the office. Doesn't he know what "check" means?
When the leader said to check it out, he meant to ask him to find out something. Even if there is nothing, there should be something.
Since the leader has already set his sights on the target, if he doesn’t find anything, doesn’t it mean that there is something wrong with him?
In the leader’s mind, the goal is already problematic. Isn’t it his incompetence that he didn’t get the answer he wanted?
But if he really wants to "check", he will have to face the problems of "what to check" and "how much to check".
They are all doing their jobs. The discipline inspection and supervision department is also an integral part of the group. If they want to take action, they must have targeted targets.
So you think that the target chosen for him by Deputy Director Su could be just an ordinary minor character?
Let’s not talk about whether there is a problem with this distribution unit. Even if there is a problem, it is someone else’s cake.
Why should he touch other people's cake?
Is it that the basic principles or the fundamental interests of the group are touched upon? Is it that someone has enriched himself or abused his power for personal gain? Or is it that someone has grasped the facts and reported them in real name in accordance with the regulations?
Now he has nothing. Just based on a word from Deputy Director Su, he has to take the risk of offending people and making mistakes to investigate a distribution unit.
Why?
Because you are Su Weide, Deputy Director Su?
Because you recommended me from above, recommended me to get the current training opportunity, and emphasized that I should be grateful?
Zhou Zechuan was very dissatisfied, but he still maintained a rational attitude and wanted to talk to his leader.
It was the same question he had just asked, why did Deputy Director Su want him, the Director of the Discipline Inspection Department, to investigate the general manager of a distribution company.
If there are problems with the business cooperation between the two parties, please ask the business department to form an investigation team to investigate.
If there are problems with the cadres of the two cooperating parties, their disciplinary inspection and supervision departments will come forward to investigate, but they will also investigate their own cadres.
Now his leader has specifically asked him to investigate the group's head office, the branch's cooperative dealers, or a joint trading company located in Tianjin. What do you think his attitude should be?
If he doesn't ask clearly today, even if he assigns the work, how should he answer when the cadres below ask about it?
Could it be that it was Deputy Director Su who ordered the investigation?
Under the current circumstances, Deputy Director Su's request to investigate is almost equivalent to asking him to do "private work".
It is nothing more than that Deputy Director Su needed to obtain some evidence or actual situation in order to target someone, but he did not have the appropriate channels and necessary means, so he directly arranged for him to operate in violation of regulations.
Isn't this an illegal operation?
If there is really a problem with that distribution unit, the worst-case scenario is that the problem will be handed over to the other party to deal with, and then the cooperation will be terminated.
Isn’t this taking off your pants and farting?
Therefore, Zhou Zechuan didn't want to take the blame for his leader, and he didn't want to become a victim of the war between the two sides and take the scapegoat in the end.
Su Weide certainly saw Zhou Zechuan's attitude, but he did not expect that his influence on disciplinary and supervisory work would decline so quickly.
Before the security team was split and reorganized, he made great efforts to help Zhou Zechuan master the disciplinary and supervisory work.
He never thought that Li Huaide would readjust the division of labor and take advantage of the organizational structure change to split the discipline and supervision department.
I guess Zhou Zechuan has never thought about it this way, so the relationship between them is a bit awkward now.
Zhou Zechuan had many concerns about his request, fearing that if he helped him do some work, he would not be able to report it to Gu Weijie, which would affect his harmonious relationship with his supervisor.
What else could Su Weide do? He had been working in the group for a few months, and after experiencing the iron-clad defense of the security team and running into obstacles everywhere, he focused all his attention on the development of disciplinary and supervisory work.
From personnel to business, from work to system, he completely trusts Zhou Zechuan and can only trust Zhou Zechuan.
By taking advantage of the defense loopholes of Li Xuewu and other security team cadres and his authority as the responsible leader, he finally broke the situation.
But Big Li and Little Li were not kind-hearted. They cut off his financial support and all his efforts of several months went to waste.
His efforts were destroyed, but his help to Zhou Zechuan was sincere. Now hearing the other party's doubts, Su Weide felt heartbroken, and then annoyed.
“The distribution unit is an important part of the group’s sales and trading work, and is also a responsible area in economic management work.”
Su Weide knew Zhou Zechuan's temper, and patiently explained: "Once a loophole appears, it will not only corrupt the trade activities, but also the persons in charge and managers involved in the trade activities."
"What's worse, some higher-level managers may be corrupted and become umbrellas for their illegal activities."
He pointed at the table, looked at Zhou Zechuan and emphasized: "You are the person in charge of the group's disciplinary supervision work, the guardian of good business order, and the last guarantee for compliant operations."
"You must give full play to your subjective initiative and put discipline and supervision work at the forefront of frontline management."
Su Wei De said with great certainty: "Only in this way can you discover the corruption in those corners and the unknown tricks."
Zhou Zechuan's expression did not change much as he listened to Deputy Director Su's "heartfelt words", but his heart was filled with ripples.
He had a thorough understanding of disciplinary and supervisory work, and did not need Deputy Director Su to emphasize it or give him a lecture.
Zhou Zechuan was listening silently now, just wanting to know who Deputy Director Su was targeting from his long speech.
If you want him to do something, you have to be honest and let him know who the target is.
You can't just start investigating blindly. What if you find something wrong?
Perhaps it was because he saw Zhou Zechuan's caution that Su Weide finally confessed a little after saying a lot.
"This Shunfeng Trading Joint Venture Company is not simple."
He pointed his finger out the window and said softly, "You can find out if you check down there. Their trade volume is huge."
"Isn't it normal for a distribution company to have a large trade volume?"
Zhou Zechuan frowned slightly and said, "The Sales Head Office needs the support of distributors with such a large trade volume, right?"
"This is different—" Su Weide also frowned, looking at him and said, "Is it normal for a company located in Tianjin to have a large distribution base in Beijing and develop in parallel with the group to obtain a large amount of distribution business from the Tianjin Trade Management Center?"
"So what you mean is..." Zhou Zechuan's eyes sternly looked at Deputy Director Su and asked tentatively: "Do you suspect that this distribution unit has a profit-transfer relationship with certain people in our group?"
"That's why I asked you to investigate them." Su Weide didn't answer directly, but leaned back in his chair, shook his head slightly and said, "From what I understand, some forces of the group are involved, or at least have a close connection."
"Comrade Zechuan, you should know that we came here with the expectations of the leaders of the department. Don't forget your original intention."
His tone became sincere again, and he looked at Zhou Zechuan and said, "When we were working in the ministry, we knew that there were some unhealthy tendencies and unhealthy trends prevailing. How can this be allowed!"
Su Weide raised his hand, patted the table lightly, and said seriously: "Although I am no longer in charge of discipline and supervision work, I am still a member of the group's management committee. I have the responsibility and obligation to supervise discipline and supervision work, and I must resolutely fight against lawbreakers if I find them."
"Comrade Zechuan, you are also a principled person. When you find that a comrade has done something wrong, shouldn't you stand up and point it out?"
"Deputy Director Su, the situation here seems very complicated." Zhou Zechuan is not a fool. He would rush forward without caring about anything just because his leader encourages him. He has a family to support.
If he had really rushed forward without even listening to three sentences, he wouldn't be the director of the Discipline Inspection Department of the Red Star Group now.
Although the group is undergoing a major departmental restructuring and the authority of the departments has been greatly weakened, he is still a full-fledged director.
In other words, his rank is currently on par with that of most department deputies, or even the top leader.
In the next few years, during the process of institutional reforms of the group's departments, he will have every opportunity to take a further step and become the head of the department.
Now you ask him to take a detour or make a mistake, will he dare?
At least after the structural changes, Gu Weijie became his supervisor, and Zhou Zechuan needed to re-evaluate his work situation in the group.
In other words, he was still feeling emotional in his heart that although he was brought here by Deputy Director Su, fortunately the relationship between the two was not very strong.
In the past few months since he came to the group, he has indeed received strong support from Deputy Director Su, but Deputy Director Su is the responsible leader.
He can completely call this support and help as the support and responsibility of the supervisor for his work.
During this period, he tried his best to promote the construction and reform of the department and divisions, and took the initiative to report his work and thoughts to Deputy Director Gu and communicate opinions and suggestions on work.
Why is that?
Isn't it to repair the stereotype he left on the leaders within the group, and to try his best to erase the traces left on him by Deputy Director Su?
Now, Deputy Director Su was unwilling to have the ropes tied around him untied one by one, and wanted to tie another one.
What's more dangerous is that the rope is connected to a bomb. If one of them is not handled properly, an explosion will occur between the two of them.
But it is just as Su Weide said just now, he is the leader of the group and a cadre selected from above. He has a certain influence on both the group and himself.
Zhou Zechuan was sure that he had not heard wrongly. Deputy Director Su was reminding him, or threatening him.
Having the above expectations is equivalent to having the above support and relationship.
Being a member of the group management committee is equivalent to having a vote on his issues or future progress.
Just tell me, how dare he offend Deputy Director Su.
So, after Su Wei De finished speaking, his tone softened, but it was just a final resistance.
Su Weide did not give him a chance and said seriously: "You should investigate first. It will not be too late to investigate in depth after you have grasped some of the situation."
He tapped the table with his finger and suggested to Zhou Zechuan, who was vague in his attitude, "You are an experienced discipline inspector. I don't need to teach you this aspect of the job. You should be able to grasp the right measure."
"Yes, I understand, Deputy Director Su."
Zhou Zechuan understood what his leader meant. He wanted him to check it first and judge the severity of the problem himself after finding it.
If the influence is beyond his ability, he will withdraw; if it is profitable, he will catch it and continue to investigate.
If he really catches some evidence or clues, Deputy Director Su is willing to share the benefits with him.
This is the main reason why Zhou Zechuan agreed.
Ask the cadres in the group’s organs and find out who is just waiting to eat and die and does not want to make progress.
However, it is extremely difficult to gain the support of the group leaders by using work attitude or work performance.
Who doesn’t want to be successful when young? Who wants to be an old man waiting in the stable and be asked if he can still make a living?
If he really has these evidences, he will be qualified to contact and talk with certain leaders.
We can further cooperate with Deputy Director Su to get to the root of the problem and get a piece of the pie.
If you take a step back, you can make friends with the target and use the information you have investigated to gain sufficient benefits.
Maybe I can get some unexpected benefits from Shunfeng Trading Company at that time.
So rather than saying that Suwei used the greater good to persuade him, it would be more accurate to say that Suwei made his position clear and exposed the benefits to him.
Zhou Zechuan became greedy and courageous.
After coming out of Deputy Director Su's office, he found his confidants and began to assign tasks.
He was cautious enough. He really did not choose to make a big fuss, nor did he report it to Deputy Director Gu in advance.
He made the arrangements for the purpose of disciplinary inspection and arranged for his confidants to go to Tianjin for inspection and investigation.
Although it seemed like he had no purpose, he actually privately told his confidants that this time the focus of the investigation should be on the distribution business.
Zhou Zechuan had some work experience and knew that it was not okay to directly investigate Shunfeng Trading. The situations found through illegal investigations were themselves illegal, so how could they be convincing?
So, enter the village quietly and don't shoot.
His confidants also knew that this time the action should not be too big, because the goal was clear, so they went straight to the distribution business.
It is necessary to investigate the basic situation of Tianjin Shunfeng Trading Joint Venture Company, and also to investigate the person in charge of the distribution unit.
Zhou Zechuan also heard this name from Deputy Director Su, Zhou Xiaobai, a girl about twenty years old.
Just by looking at the goals and situations given by the leader, he could already guess what was going on.
It is too obvious that this distribution unit is simply a means and channel for some people to take care of their own children.
Zhou Zechuan guessed that this investigation might not reveal any substantial complexities, but this basic information was enough.
What era is this? If these situations are really exposed, someone will always be angry, and those people will be affected.
So he was willing to investigate and find out who was standing behind Zhou Xiaobai, and he would definitely meet the other party when the time came.
Well, he was also unlucky. He had no idea what pit he had stepped into or who he was dealing with.
-
The water in Tianjin is very deep and the situation is very complicated.
Even Yu Zecheng knew about this situation, but Su Weide and Zhou Zechuan did not. They jumped in and were exposed immediately.
They thought that Tianjin Shunfeng Trading Joint Venture was a small company, a small enterprise, but they didn't expect it to be a local snake.
Even if Shunfeng Trading is not a local boss, Tianjin Aquatic Products Corporation can always be considered a local boss.
Then Shunfeng Trading is the little snake.
This little snake is not big in size, but the forces hidden behind it are complex and have a huge network of relationships.
In the past two years, Zhou Xiaobai has not stayed in Tianjin for a very long time and is not responsible for many businesses.
But Wu Shuping and Yang Zhao have always been in Tianjin. Yang Zhao is responsible for external affairs and security work, while Wu Shuping almost always stays in the Trade Management Center to do business docking work.
Unlike public institutions, Shunfeng Trading, although operating under the banner of a joint venture, has achieved freedom in financial management.
In other words, Wu Shuping is fully capable of using Shunfeng Trading's finances to conduct public relations work for her job.
She would not waste money in vain. She only needed to establish good relationships with the heads of those departments starting from the moment she entered the Trade Management Center.
A meal today, a gift tomorrow, in two years, no matter how slow you are, the relationship will be established.
Zhou Zechuan had only been in the group for a few days, and he had already blatantly arranged for people to come to Tianjin to investigate the distribution company. It was hard for her not to know.
Zhou Xiaobai is not a person who can suffer losses. When he heard Wu Shuping mention the news about the Trade Management Center, he jumped up and down.
"Check! Let him check!"
With a strong background and full of confidence, Zhou Xiaobai put his hands on his waist and shouted with a frown: "I, the general manager, will finally play a role."
Unable to work for nothing, Zhou Xiaobai has been looking forward to the day when he can play an important role in his work for a long time.
Do you think she is a waste who only knows how to spend money but does nothing?
Although the Beijing supply chain business was completed with the support and help of Yang Zhao and Shen Guodong, she also had her own influence.
Zhou Zhennan and Fang Qin are not fools. How could they not know what their daughter is doing?
Now that you know this, you must have done an investigation and assessment to determine the benefits and risks of this "job".
Zhou Xiaobai used to be a good girl, but now she is the general manager of a company. How can the couple not be looking forward to their daughter's future?
After confirming the nature and risks of this joint venture, Zhou Zhennan didn't say anything and Fang Qin understood.
The couple didn't say anything to Zhou Xiaobai, but they didn't remind him anything either. This is Zhou Xiaobai's confidence.
My parents didn’t think I did anything wrong, and now that a bug has popped up and wants to check my background, I’ll just do it openly.
"Calm down, things haven't come to that point yet."
Wu Shuping comforted Zhou Xiaobai with amusement and anxiety, and took her hand to sit on the sofa at home.
"Think about it, why did he arrange you to be in this position?"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Xiaobai looked at Wu Shuping and asked, "Are you saying that he wants to use me?"
"Where should I think——"
Wu Shuping tapped her forehead and said jokingly, "Speaking of exploitation, wasn't I also exploited by him?"
"Then aren't you also taking advantage of him by living a carefree life with your salary from the company? You've come to this point, and you're still talking about taking advantage of him."
"I - what -" Zhou Xiaobai felt embarrassed when he heard Wu Shuping's straightforward and bold words.
"Are you still pretending in front of me?" Wu Shuping tapped her palm and said, "You're just short of hanging a sign around your neck."
"I didn't..." Zhou Xiaobai denied it with a red face, but she herself lacked confidence in this statement. Then she looked up at Wu Shuping and asked, "What do you mean by what you just said?"
"He didn't put you in this position to let you take the initiative to stand up and scare anyone."
Wu Shuping explained earnestly: "Some people will naturally retreat once they know who you are."
"This is the meaning of him appointing you as general manager."
She pinched Zhou Xiaobai's little hand and said, "The knife is most frightening only when it's not pulled out. Do you understand?"
"Then..." Zhou Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, looked at Wu Shuping and asked, "Sister, do you think I should give him a call?"
"That depends on what you have prepared."
When Wu Shuping heard Zhou Xiaobai calling her sister, omitting her last name instead of the normal Sister Wu, she knew what she was thinking.
Young girls are easy to coax. Now she finally understands how Li Xuewu fooled this "newbie".
Perhaps Li Xuewu doesn't even need to spend any effort. As long as he shows some necessary means, she will faint by herself.
Didn't you see that when someone came to investigate Zhou Xiaobai, the first thing she was concerned about was not herself, nor was she afraid of any impact. Instead, she wanted to call Li Xuewu to ask for credit.
That’s right, although Zhou Xiaobai told Li Xuewu about the situation, the situation hasn’t progressed yet.
The little girl just has no patience. If it were Wu Shuping, she would choose to say nothing because Li Xuewu would know everything.
Someone from the group came to investigate the situation. How could Li Xuewu, who serves as the secretary-general of the group, not know?
Besides, even if he didn't know, with the investigation and results here, Li Xuewu should know who deserves the credit.
Choosing not to say anything at this time is much better than calling in advance to show off and take credit.
From the moment Zhou Xiaobai blushed and accepted the "he" in her address, Wu Shuping had already taken the initiative.
Now she was standing in Zhou Xiaobai's perspective and took the initiative to help her analyze what to do next. How could Xiaobai not trust and be grateful to her?
"Then don't make this call." Zhou Xiaobai nodded seriously and said, "Wait for him to call me someday."
"Are you waiting for his praise?"
Wu Shuping smiled and tapped her nose, saying, "I want to praise your hard work, your maturity, your steadiness, your wisdom, and your intelligence..."
"Oh, sister, please stop talking..." Zhou Xiaobai raised her hand to tidy up the hair beside her ears and said shyly, "I'm embarrassed."
Hearing Wu Shuping's laughter, she raised her head, looked at the mature and wise woman and said, "This is all thanks to you."
"I don't need any credit, I just want a stable life." Wu Shuping was waiting for her to say this, and now she finally showed her true colors. She took her hand and said, "You've lived with me for such a long time, have you ever seen me fight for anything?"
"You--why are you suddenly talking about this--"
Seeing Wu Shuping confess, Zhou Xiaobai felt embarrassed and his ears turned red. He wanted to pull his hand back but was unwilling to do so.
Wu Shuping knew what she was thinking, so she smiled and said, "You must have hated me in your heart a long time ago."
"I didn't..." Zhou Xiaobai shook his head, looked at her and said, "I just - I'm a little envious and jealous of you."
"Hehehe..." Wu Shuping chuckled and said, "Why should you be jealous of me? I'm a single woman with a child."
"So what you mean is..." Zhou Xiaobai seemed to have grasped something important, and looked at Wu Shuping expectantly and asked, "Li Xin is not Brother Li's child?"
"What do you think?" Wu Shuping still kept smiling and looked at Zhou Xiaobai and said, "I believe you are a smart girl."
"I've long felt that something was wrong—" Zhou Xiaobai seemed to have suddenly realized something, almost jumped up, looked at her and said, "Li Xin actually looks different from Brother Li, and Li Huaide is blind—"
"Shh-"
Seeing that she was becoming more and more exaggerated, Wu Shuping made a gesture to silence her, reminding her not to talk nonsense.
Zhou Xiaobai widened his eyes, glanced out the window, and asked in a low voice: "You - do you think there is something wrong with Sister Lu?"
"No, I'm used to being cautious." Wu Shuping said seriously, "In Tianjin, I can't trust anyone except you and Yang Zhao. Do you understand?"
"I understand--" Zhou Xiaobai felt that he was trusted, so he became serious at this moment.
She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly pointed her finger and whispered, "Li Huaide asked Sister Lu to take care of the house over there!"
After saying this, Zhou Xiaobai seemed to have figured something out, frowned and asked: "Since she is that kind of person, why does Brother Li still want to use her? Just fire her and find someone safer."
"Which one is safe?" Wu Shuping patted the back of her hand and said, "According to my personal situation, no one is safe."
"Besides, we are just being vigilant. We can't say that there is something wrong with Sister Lu just because she helps Director Li take care of the family."
She pulled Zhou Xiaobai to sit closer and quietly introduced Sister Lu's identity, sharing a little secret.
After hearing this, Zhou Xiaobai suddenly felt that she and Wu Shuping were family, and her face turned red with excitement.
After listening to her for a while, he said in surprise: "No wonder Brother Li invited such a person from the capital to help."
"You can't tell anyone about these things."
Wu Shuping looked at her seriously and emphasized: "This is related to my and Li Xin's life here. We can't cause trouble for him."
"I understand. I will protect you."
Zhou Xiaobai nodded earnestly and assured Wu Shuping: "Don't worry, sister. As long as I am here, no one can hurt you."
"Of course I believe it." Wu Shuping nodded with a smile and said, "He arranged for you to stay with me, and I knew that when he was away, you would be my support and security in Tianjin."
"Hehe——" Zhou Xiaobai felt even more embarrassed when he thought about his previous recklessness and misunderstanding, and the foolish things he had done.
Sister Wu is a good person——
"Sister, I want to ask you something." Taking advantage of the opportunity of the two people confessing their affairs, Zhou Xiaobai mustered up his courage, looked at Wu Shuping and asked seriously: "You and Brother Li - what is the relationship between the two of you?"
"I knew you were struggling with this question." Wu Shuping was not surprised to hear Zhou Xiaobai ask this, and said calmly, "From the first day you came to me, I knew you liked him."
"Sister, I didn't mean that."
Zhou Xiaobai wanted to explain, but Wu Shuping stopped him by waving her hand.
She continued, "You all know that Li Xin is not his child, but how do you see him treating Li Xin?"
"Of course it's good, but——"
Zhou Xiaobai answered as usual, but then became confused again and frowned slightly, as if the question was very difficult.
"You, I just praised you for being smart—" Wu Shuping patted her hands and said, "Does it matter what my relationship with him is?"
"That—but—"
"My current job and Li Xin's current life were all given by him." Wu Shuping didn't wait for her to finish and said seriously: "All I want is a stable life."
"Xiaobai, you are a good girl." She pinched Zhou Xiaobai's hand with emotion and said, "I am different from you. I must take good care of Li Xin. He is everything to me."
"Sister, I understand." Zhou Xiaobai seemed to understand what Wu Shuping said, although the other party did not explain clearly her relationship with Brother Li.
But she has no right to get involved.
Brother Li was not hers either, but they lived under the same roof, and she had to admit that Wu Shuping took care of her and helped her a lot.
Looking at Wu Shuping's attitude, I realized how difficult and helpless it must be for her to raise a child alone and seek a stable life from Brother Li.
If I continue to pester her, it will not only embarrass her, but also myself.
When Li Xuewu received Wu Shuping's call, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Xiaobai was not a girl he had made friends with for nothing. She would really help him when something happened.
