Chapter 1322 Sister-in-law, I’m Hungry
"It's such a big piece of fat meat. Isn't it normal for someone to be thinking about it?"
Bu Qingfang went to the tea cabinet to make a cup of tea, then turned around and complained to Li Xuewu, "You should find a full-time secretary."
"After all, you are the factory leader. The secretary-general doesn't even have a full-time secretary. What do the department managers think?"
"I'm not controlling their brains, so why should they learn from me?" Li Xuewu said nonchalantly, "I don't have much time left, so there's no need to waste human resources."
"You are such a good person, who would remember your kindness?"
Bu Qingfang came back with a cup of tea, glanced at Li Xuewu, and asked, "Does Director Li have any specific arrangements?"
She opened her eyes and asked tentatively, "Did I tell you when to leave?"
"Why, are you anxious? Hehe——"
Li Xuewu chuckled, and when he saw her pout, he shook his head slightly and said, "Until the dust settles, who can be sure of this?"
"Maybe I can't leave yet. I may work hard in this position for a few more years."
"Well, please do me a favor." Bu Qingfang took a sip from the teacup and said with a smile, "If you stay for a few more years, you can help me."
"Hahaha——" Li Xuewu laughed heartily.
His position as secretary-general did not block Bu Qingfang's path. He was capable of doing this job, but Bu Qingfang could not.
Even if she has more years of work experience than Li Xuewu, the badges on Li Xuewu's chest are the most valuable.
When Old Li first proposed that Li Xuewu be appointed as the Secretary-General, many people talked about Li Xuewu's age, but no one said that he was not qualified. The fact that he was recognized by those above shows the value of those medals.
Therefore, when working in a government agency, you must strive for honors. Honors will always be your hard-core assets, and people with connections will sometimes have to give way.
Of course, what I am saying here is that sometimes, people with connections like Miss Dong are beyond the scope of ordinary people's cognition.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and a certain level of trust in each other, and after a few jokes they got back to the point.
"We don't care about the changes in the ships involved in compensation trade, but we need to do a good job of docking and coordination."
Li Xuewu put the document in his hand aside, tapped the desk lightly with his fingers and said: "It has to be decent and decent."
"They call this throwing a stone to test the water." Bu Qingfang raised her lips slightly and said to Li Xuewu, "I heard that the vice president of the Santaya Group, Mercedes-Benz, invited Deputy Director Cheng to dinner several times."
"Heh - who gave us this unlucky nickname?" Li Xuewu laughed out loud, looked at Bu Qingfang and said, "Anyone can make such a joke, but we can't. It's not very friendly."
"I'm just telling you." Bu Qingfang raised her chin and said, "Should I say it or not, in this business social interaction, they really are playing the capitalist game. Do you think Deputy Director Cheng can withstand the sugar-coated bullets?"
"Haha, I don't know that."
Li Xuewu shook his head slightly, looked at her, and asked, "How did you know this news? You must have heard it from all sides."
"Don't embarrass me. I was having dinner with my wife and I just happened to see it." She glanced at Li Xuewu and said, "People who work in publicity will definitely spread gossip. I tell you, this is called job discrimination."
"Well, I don't dare to wear this hat." Li Xuewu picked up the pencil on the table and tapped the manuscript paper. "The Yingcheng Port Area has just been approved for planning and construction has only started a few days ago. There are many people eyeing shipping opportunities."
"Who else? Oh——" Bu Qingfang just asked, then nodded in understanding and said, "Geely Star Shipping, right?"
"What?" She raised her eyebrows jokingly and said, "We still don't know the result of Deputy Director Cheng's sugar-coated bullet. Did you fail in this beauty pass?"
“Hehehe——” Li Xuewu chuckled and said, “It’s hard for a hero to resist beauty. I’m not a hero, so it’s even harder.”
"Really?" Bu Qingfang looked at Li Xuewu suspiciously. "Everyone in the group knows you. You are the one who cherishes your reputation the most."
"How is it possible...Oh - I know!"
She nodded at Li Xuewu as if she had suddenly realized something, and said with a smile: "So you are the one who started this discussion."
"That's what I told you—" Bu Qingfang almost slapped his thigh and said with great excitement, "How come the port hasn't been completed yet, but everyone is rushing to it and starting to make plans in advance?"
"Why do we say they are capitalists? They have a keen business sense. We need to learn more from them." Li Xuewu did not deny Bu Qingfang's guess and said seriously, "I was in charge of this work before, and now it has been handed over to Deputy Director Gao."
"The External Affairs Office of the General Management Department should provide good service and reception, and provide legal and documentary support to Deputy Director Gao."
"No problem, I'll make arrangements when I get down." Bu Qingfang responded seriously, then lowered his voice slightly and asked tentatively: "The specific investment promotion process... I'm afraid it won't be done until next year or the year after, right?"
"It depends on the progress of the project." Li Xuewu did not say anything final. He nodded and explained: "Zhongrun is responsible for a part of the business of attracting investment, and will integrate the corresponding resources when the time comes."
The reason why he didn't explain too much was simple. Bu Qingfang was not asking about the work, but about the time.
The specific time when this work will be implemented is after Li Xuewu went to Gangcheng to be responsible for the industrial management of Liaodong.
In fact, this question is a bit redundant. Yingcheng, Gangcheng and Fengcheng are connected, and Dong Wenxue is responsible for laying the foundation and integrating resources, and he deserves half of the credit for the industrial development chain.
Thanks to this achievement, Dong Wenxue jumped from director to deputy factory-level leader and then to group leader in just three years.
The rest of the work will be given to him, and he will take the remaining half of the credit.
After taking half of the credit, Li Xuewu will be able to take a further step from the position of department-level secretary-general.
After he had truly digested and fully integrated the industrial development in Liaodong, he would be able to make further progress when he returned to Beijing.
Similarly, once the deadline arrives, Dong Wenxue, who is responsible for the operation of Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone in Beijing, will also be promoted.
This is the push and pull plan of Dong Wenxue and Li Xuewu.
Do you want to ask why Li Huaide would allow the two of them to operate like this?
He had no choice. Dong Wenxue and Li Xuewu, one was responsible for fighting foreign aggression and the other for maintaining domestic stability, helped him to put both internal and external affairs in order.
To put it bluntly, leaders are all lazy. Since someone is willing to work, he will move up sooner or later, so he has to train his own successor.
From now on, neither Dong Wenxue nor Li Xuewu poses any threat to his second half of his time at Red Star Steel Group.
So what do you think Bu Qingfang, who has been in the agency for a long time, is concerned about?
Time, yes, it’s time.
Only by figuring out the timing of Li Xuewu's each jump could she take advantage of the momentum and follow suit with one or two steps.
She didn't dare to think about taking the position of group leader within five years. She would have to get rid of Gu Weijie, Jing Yunong or Gao Yaqin.
The team members need female cadres, but the leadership team of Red Star Steel Group has no shortage of them, which is almost a case of more women than men.
Look at those who are disturbed by the union leader and have been hospitalized for years.
-
"Come into the courtyard, you're welcome."
Li Xuewu came back late from get off work, so even Li Ning had to be picked up by his brother-in-law. Zhou Yao, who had changed into casual clothes, also came out to greet him.
Not wearing work clothes, but a floral dress, Zhou Yao lost some of her heroic look and gained a lot of gentleness.
Li Shu was standing next to her, looking at her curiously. She didn't know what she had just said, but her face was slightly red.
"I have discovered that whenever there are guests at home, things start to happen at my workplace and we have to get together."
Li Xuewu held his handbag, closed the car door, and asked Zhou Yao with a smile: "This is your first time coming to my house, right? This counts as you getting to know my place."
"Yes." Zhou Yao shook her fingers a little embarrassedly, and Li Shu, who was holding her fingers, also came back to her senses.
"Should I call you aunt?" Li Shu asked curiously, blinking her big eyes: "Why don't you speak?"
"You can call me aunt now." Li Xuewu looked at Zhou Yao's red face and finally understood what they had just said.
He taught his daughter a sentence, and then asked, "Who taught you to call her aunt?"
"Brother-in-law, you must be exhausted after a busy day."
Without waiting for Li Xuewu to finish his question, Gu Yan took the initiative to pick up Li Shu who was about to speak, and walked towards the yard, saying as he walked: "I bought some braised food, let's have some together tonight."
What does Zhou Yao do for a living? In fact, when Li Shu asked her this, she knew who taught her this.
Who else but Gu Yan——
It’s a pity that the Secretary-General is here, and this is the Secretary-General’s home, and also the home of her future sister-in-law, so she can only endure it.
We'll settle this account later.
"Are you going to receive the provincial leaders?" Zhou Yao, who entered the courtyard with Li Xuewu, took the initiative to talk about the factory in order to avoid embarrassment. "I heard that Hongtu cars are selling very well."
"We delivered six units, Beijing Auto ordered one, and our partner ordered another six." Li Xuewu explained: "Based on the current order volume, the sales performance is pretty good."
"It's already good. After all, it's a special vehicle." Zhou Yao knows a little about the factory's business. "But that car does look very practical, just like the signal lights we use."
"It can't compare to the traffic lights in terms of professional performance." Li Xuewu glanced at her and introduced: "The cost of the traffic lights is much higher than that of the Hongtu. The onboard equipment alone is very valuable, and there are also imported equipment and parts."
"Li...Brother Li, you're back." Li Xuewu and Zhou Yao entered the house. Zhou Erya trotted out of the restaurant in a panic and greeted them stutteringly.
Li Xuewu looked at her in surprise, then said with a smile: "Be natural and relax. This is home, not an office."
"That - I -" Zhou Erya still hasn't fully adapted to her current identity, and her answer was a bit vague.
In fact, she didn't know what to say now. She had been learning from Qin Jingru for a whole day, and it seemed that her brain was not enough.
"This is the one we just hired to help take care of our lives." Li Xuewu introduced Zhou Yao with a smile, then nodded to Zhou Erya and said, "Go and do your own thing. Don't be so reserved."
"She treats you as her boss." Qin Jingru came out of the restaurant with a bulging belly and explained with a smile: "I don't know what she is thinking."
"Take your time." Li Xuewu didn't care about Zhou Erya's embarrassment. While inviting Zhou Yao into the house, he asked Qin Jingru, "Where's Jiankun? Why can't I see him? Didn't we say we would have dinner together?"
"I asked him to go buy some things while the supply and marketing cooperative was still open." Qin Jingru introduced naturally, "When I left, I was afraid that you wouldn't need them for a long time, so I kept some of the last stocks."
"It's fine now." She looked at Zhou Erya and said with a smile, "Erya's cooking skills are still very good. She made lunch at noon."
"Really? Then our family's food problem is finally solved." Li Xuewu walked into the living room and said to Zhou Yao with a smile, "It's been almost a month, and our family of four hasn't had many meals together."
"I heard about it." Zhou Yao said with a smile: "I heard that you also found a tutor for Li Shu?"
"Did it come from the government?" Li Xuewu glanced at her, smiled and shook his head, and said, "Institutional reforms and emphasis on discipline still end up like a sieve. It's really hard to guard against."
"This is not a confidential topic." Zhou Yao sat on the single sofa without caring, rejected Gu Yan's gesture and invitation, and pretended not to see it and started chatting with Li Xuewu.
"I just heard that you found someone from the art troupe, but I haven't heard who it is." She raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you going to train Li Shu to study art?"
"Just learn some basic knowledge to prevent her from being naughty all the time." Li Xuewu sat on the sofa and took the teacup from Qin Jingru, saying, "If she really wants to learn art, she has to be good enough."
As he said this, Li Xuewu glanced at his daughter standing by the fireplace, his eyes full of helplessness and a wry smile.
Now that she had completed the task assigned to her by her uncle, Li Shu finally got the pistol that her uncle had promised to give her.
This gun is not the fake gun that her father bought for her that only makes a paper drum sound. This one is a cannon that makes a click-click sound.
Have you ever seen the kind of revolver in later generations that smokes when fired? In fact, the prototype already existed, but most children have never played with it.
What was the earlier prototype?
Have you ever seen the kind of starting gun that the starter at a sports game fires against a prototype iron plate? That may be the earliest prototype of this kind of gun.
Of course, these days, the naughty kids in the city all love to play with match guns, the kind you use to play with matches, or rubber bands.
If you think matches are a luxury, then firecrackers must be even more expensive.
There was no way, since Li Shu had taken on such a big job, her uncle was willing to spend a lot of money and bought a small box of firearms alone.
Li Xuewu was really worried that his allowance was not enough. He needed money for dating and buying toys. Would he have enough money to buy cigarettes?
Fortunately, dating is not that expensive these days. If it were in the future, even those who run miners at home would not be able to afford lipstick and bags.
"I think she's quite smart." Zhou Yao glanced at Li Shu with a smile, and then teased Li Ning who was standing beside them, chewing a tomato in his hand, "Will he learn from his sister?"
"Follow suit." Li Xuewu said with a smile: "It's really difficult to manage now. Sometimes it gives me a headache."
Li Xuewu looked at Han Jiankun who had entered the room and asked, "Is the old lady at home? If she is, take her over."
"No, I went to my eldest brother's house." Han Jiankun brought in a box, and no one knew what he bought, but it made a lot of noise.
He is still the same, always working hard and never complaining in Li Xuewu's family. Even as the team leader, he is still like a driver.
Looking back at Nie Xiaoguang who came in with a box, he was acting as a driver, like a captain, with a cigarette stuck in his ear.
Han Jiankun really couldn't bear to look at him. If the leader wasn't there, he would have wanted to slap him.
This guy looks more arrogant than him.
Nie Xiaoguang didn't know what was going on. He put down the box in his hand and went straight to the restaurant, shouting, "Sister-in-law, I'm hungry."
Damn, I really have to fight!
Han Jiankun's back teeth were itching with hatred. This kid really isn't shy and is quite outgoing.
The first time I met Gu Ning, I called her sister-in-law, and I did the same with his wife. I didn't feel any sense of distance at all.
Qin Jingru actually liked his personality. She responded in the restaurant, "It will be ready in a while. Wait for Sister Xiao Ning."
Speak of Cao Cao, he appears. The room is bustling with activity when Gu Ning comes back.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Zhou Erya, who was standing in the restaurant, saw her from the window of the octagonal hall and told Qin Jingru somewhat stiffly.
Qin Jingru felt helpless seeing her at a loss, she had already told her that there was no need to be nervous, as it would make everyone uncomfortable.
Also, she told Zhou Erya that she couldn't call Gu Ning "Sister-in-law Gu". She discovered this problem when she came this morning.
Gu Ning was such a tolerant person that he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard her greeting.
She had been married into the Li family for nearly three years, and this was the first time she heard someone call her Mrs. Gu. This underworld term was too unfamiliar.
"Sister Xiao-Sister Xiaoning." This time Zhou Erya remembered it, followed Qin Jingru out, and called out timidly.
It was just a mosquito-like noise. If it weren't for Gu Ning's good hearing, he would have ignored it.
Gu Ning looked at her, his eyes were gentle and a little tired.
She did not respond to Zhou Erya's greeting, she just nodded and smiled at Qin Jingru, everything was said without words.
In fact, she still hoped that Qin Jingru could stay at home and do some work. She had long been accustomed to Qin Jingru's poor Ma Zhang Fei, who took care of everything in an orderly manner and she didn't have to worry about anything.
Although the family had not cooked much in the past month, she and Li Xuewu still felt deeply that neither of them was capable of taking care of housework.
Being able to get off work on time every day is already special for her. When colleagues in the hospital gossip about her, her leader uses the fact that her child is young to cover it up.
During this period, the Military General Hospital was particularly short of doctors, especially surgeons who could perform operating tables.
If you say that the most challenging medical skill in the army is the treatment of injuries and sprains, but in fact there are quite a lot of surgical operations.
People who have never stood on the operating table will definitely not understand the difficulty and hardship of high-intensity surgery.
Anyway, after she gets home, she doesn't want to do any housework, not even wash clothes.
Recently, she is particularly grateful to Li Xuewu and also feels the happiness of having the support of her lover.
Li Xuewu not only took the initiative to take care of the child and play with her, making time for her to read and study, but also took on a lot of housework such as washing clothes, giving her enough time to rest.
Even though the clothes were washed in a washing machine, she was still touched, and Qin Jingru had already felt this touch.
She really didn't know what to say. When she was pregnant, she was afraid to leave home and wondered how she would survive if she lost her job.
But after leaving this home and living her own life, she slowly discovered that Han Jiankun had grown up.
The salary of a deputy section chief is enough to support their family, not to mention the property left by their father-in-law.
How much money can an engineer save after working hard for a lifetime?
Anyway, when her mother-in-law handed the family fortune to her, she didn't even count it, for fear of making her mother-in-law unhappy.
But the numbers on several passbooks were still recognizable, and they would have no problem with worrying about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
Of course, this is what Qin Jingru was thinking at the time. She might not know what would happen to this money in the future.
Xiao Shitou at the traffic station has a famous saying: In this world, the least valuable thing is money.
-
Qin Jingru was the director of dinner and Zhou Erya was the chef. The food exuded the flavor of Northeast China.
Han Jiankun pulled Nie Xiaoguang, who was sitting and pretending to be a big shot while waiting for dinner, to go to the kitchen to help serve the dishes. Everyone was already seated at the table.
Gu Ning went upstairs to wash and freshen up, and changed into a light home outfit, looking very ladylike.
Well, only in a family with a nanny can the housewife be a lady. Thinking about the hard work over the past month, Gu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let me explain in advance. I only told Erya the location of the seasonings and didn't mention anything else. Let's all try Erya's cooking."
Qin Jingru smiled and said, "Anyway, I had a big bowl of rice at noon."
"Yeah, it tastes like home cooking."
Li Xuewu tasted the stewed eggplant, smiled and nodded, praising it: "It's much better than what I made."
Gu Yan followed his brother-in-law's chopsticks and took a bite. He felt it was a bit salty, but didn't say anything.
He had long been accustomed to the taste of the food at home, and the chef did not dare to use too much oil or salt, but this is how people in the Northeast cook.
He knew exactly what his brother-in-law meant. The nanny was young and had just come to the family, so she was unsure of herself.
At this time, we should give more encouragement and support instead of belittling and devaluing.
"I bought it from your factory's supply and marketing service department." He held the bottle and poured wine for Han Jiankun and Nie Xiaoguang first, then filled Li Xuewu's glass before filling his own. "They also asked me for my ID, hahahaha——"
"Of course I need ID." Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hand, signaling Han Jiankun and Nie Xiaoguang not to be polite, "This is a benefit."
It must be said that Li Xuewu has witnessed Gu Yan's growth in the past two years. After becoming the company commander, his arrogance has been much more restrained.
The arrogance he had before was gone, and he even remembered to pour wine for Han Jiankun and Nie Xiaoguang first.
One is Li Xuewu's former driver, and the other is his current driver. But when they come to this house and sit at the same table to eat, they are the guests, and as Li Xuewu's brother-in-law, he must be polite.
Besides, Han Jiankun and he are old acquaintances. They both came from the military. In the past two years, the couple have been working in his brother-in-law's house. He has heard about them even though he has not seen them, so he has to respect them.
As for the little gangster Nie Xiaoguang, although he didn't take him seriously, he had heard his brother-in-law say that he was a ruthless character who dared to use a razor to stab the Red Star Factory, so he called him brother at the dinner table.
It doesn’t matter outside, but in my brother-in-law’s house, those who can sit at this table to eat must be people my brother-in-law trusts.
So, there is nothing wrong with being sincere.
He came here with his girlfriend to get to know the family, so he had to act mature, otherwise his sister would scold him.
"I heard that you are going to resign as the director of the Commission Office?" Zhou Yao tasted the stewed carp, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "The transition from the Commission Office to the General Management Department has not been so fast, right?"
"It's only a matter of time. There's no need to be deadlocked." Li Xuewu put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass and took a sip with the others. "We also want to support Bu Qingfang's work. This step is really not easy for her."
"Everyone in the office says that she is cunning and greedy." Zhou Yao smiled, looked at Gu Ning and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Sister Xiao Ning, I forgot that the leader is not at home to talk about work."
"He has no one to talk to." Gu Ning looked at his future brother and sister-in-law and said with a smile: "I don't really understand what he said either."
"I don't quite understand either." Gu Yan raised his glass and clinked it with his brother-in-law, then said with a smile, "That's why I admire my brother-in-law the most."
"Hmm..." Li Xuewu took a sip of wine, nodded at him, and said, "I like to hear such words. You are so good at talking, so please say more."
"Okay..." Gu Yan held the five-star Maotai and filled his brother-in-law's glass again. "You can't stand flattery at work, I will definitely satisfy you on this point."
"Just fooling around—" Everyone laughed. Zhou Yao saw Gu Ning glaring at Gu Yan and pinched his arm, "You're not serious at all."
"You're not in good shape—"
Li Shu heard this and shouted at her uncle in the tone of her aunt, and everyone laughed even more happily.
Zhou Erya held the bowl in her hand and looked at the people at the table curiously.
Qin Jingru had already introduced them to her, but she remembered some of them but not others.
She didn't quite understand where he worked, what his identity was, and what his position was. She just knew that Brother Li had the highest identity and position.
As for how high it was, she wasn't quite sure.
When sending her here, her brother said a lot, which can be summed up in one sentence: you must not bring shame to the family.
If even his cousin who is so powerful in the village is afraid of him, then Brother Li's status must be very high, at least not lower than that of the village chief.
Looking at the family's food standards and the wine they drank, which she had never seen before, she didn't know whether the township head had such a good life, but she knew that the village head definitely didn't.
"Thank you, thank you." She was still in a daze when she suddenly felt the bowl in her hand sink, and saw a piece of fat piled on the rice.
How heavy can a piece of fat be?
In her opinion, it was very heavy. At least she could not eat one piece of it in a year. Even if the village slaughtered pigs and distributed the meat, it was eaten by her younger brothers.
Being able to eat cabbage stewed with meat oil is the best meal ever.
Here she saw condiments she had never heard of before, and looking at the meat stored in the refrigerator, she just felt her throat itchy.
It's the urge to tear the meat into pieces one bite at a time. People who don't have her life experience will never understand why people crave meat.
It was Qin Jingru who picked up a piece of meat and gave it to her while she was secretly observing the people at the table.
When she came to the city, the first word she needed to learn was thank you, as if people in the city would say thank you on their own initiative.
Is this a sign that city dwellers are more advanced and better-educated?
"If you don't take the initiative, you'll just go hungry." Qin Jingru smiled and said to her, "The food is in the bowl. Whether you eat it or not, it's there. Don't you agree?"
"Right...right?" Zhou Erya looked at Qin Jingru in a daze. Didn't she also come from the countryside? How come what she said made so much sense?
-
Gu Yan stayed at home, but Zhou Yao of course couldn't stay overnight, so Nie Xiaoguang drove her home.
Also traveling with them were Han Jiankun and his wife.
The house hasn't been this lively for a long time. Even after everyone left, their laughter and noise could still be heard in the dining room and living room.
Gu Ning sat on the sofa holding a teacup and watched Li Shu and Li Ning fooling around. It took him a long time to recover from the excitement.
Before Qin Jingru left, she asked Han Jiankun to help clean up the restaurant and the kitchen. Of course, Han Jiankun would also ask the tactless Nie Xiaoguang to help.
So Zhou Erya had almost finished what she needed to do. She first went to the bathroom to run some hot water, and then called Li Shu and Li Ning to take a shower.
"What do you think of Zhou Yao?"
Li Xuewu noticed Erya's cautious movements and asked casually, "Are you dissatisfied with your future sister-in-law?"
"Do you think I'm the picky type?" Gu Ning glanced at him, sipped his warm tea slowly, and said, "I don't care what kind of partner he finds. They are the ones who live together, not the ones who marry me."
"Please don't say that in front of mom. It's so disappointing." Li Xuewu looked at her with a smile and said, "An elder sister is like a mother. He can only count on us two in the capital. If we don't take the initiative to arrange things, it will be really bad."
"Yeah..." Gu Ning listened to the advice and understood the meaning of Li Xuewu's words, so he nodded in response.
The reason why Li Xuewu said this to Gu Ning was that she had never taken the fact that Gu Yan was dating seriously from the beginning.
The past is the past. Since Gu Yan has decided to take the next step with Zhou Yao, he and Gu Ning have to make their stance clear.
Today, Zhou Yao was very proactive with both him and Gu Ning, but Gu Ning didn't react and still looked indifferent.
It’s not her fault, that’s how she treats strangers.
You said Zhou Yao and Gu Yan had been dating for a few months, but this was her first time meeting Zhou Yao.
Even if Li Xuewu had met Zhou Yao before because of his work, he probably wouldn't remember her.
If you ask Gu Ning if she remembers what Li Huaide looks like, she only knows that Li Huaide is Li Xuewu's leader and a top figure in the Red Star Factory.
When asked other questions, such as what she looked like or how old she was, she had no impression, because in her heart, these were not worth remembering.
"Mom called and said she wanted to arrange for them to go south." Li Xuewu pricked up his ears, listening to the noises in the bathroom, while chattering with Gu Ning about family matters, "I mentioned this to Gu Yan and Zhou Yao."
"Neither of them gave a direct answer." He glanced at Gu Ning, "Talk to Gu Yan about this when you have time."
"I'm not rushing them, nor am I in a hurry for anything."
Li Xuewu explained: "It's been a few months. We can't stop Mom from seeing people, and Zhou Yao can't stop seeing her parents-in-law, right?"
"I said - he -" Gu Ning was annoyed and frowned as he looked upstairs. Gu Yan drank too much and had just gone back upstairs to sleep.
"Okay, I'll tell him tomorrow."
As if he had been given a task that had to be completed, what Gu Ning could not stand the most were these trivial and annoying matters in the family.
In her heart, whether Gu Yan has a girlfriend or brings his girlfriend to meet his parents, it is all his own business.
Gu Yan was wrong because he didn't take the initiative and instead made Li Xuewu anxious.
You see, Gu Ning doesn’t pay much attention to Gu Yan usually, but she is his elder sister after all, so she doesn’t feel inferior to him at all.
As for Gu Yan, he couldn’t say that he was afraid of his sister, but if Gu Ning really spoke, he would definitely listen.
This is also the reason why Li Xuewu told Gu Ning. He couldn't always be the brother-in-law who had to speak up, because that would change what Zhou Yao would think.
Could it be that the Gu family doesn't recognize her or looks down on her?
Li Xuewu explained the Gu family's situation to Zhou Yao very clearly, but she didn't think Gu Yan's family was so special.
Similarly, she didn't think Gu Yan was special, and she had no scruples when it came to her actions, which made Gu Yan fall in love with her.
This is what they call different people have different tastes.
Li Xuewu heard Li Shu's giggles and Li Ning's aggressive behavior, and he knew that there was a commotion in the bathroom again.
Zhou Erya was very experienced in separating the two people, washing each of them, and then wrapping them in bath towels and letting them out.
“No need to wash them every time.”
Gu Ning had already gone upstairs. Li Xuewu stood downstairs and picked up Li Shu and Li Ning. He said to Zhou Erya, "Teach them how to bathe themselves. Just rub them every few days."
"It's okay." Zhou Erya understood Brother Li's meaning very accurately this time. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she didn't say anything else.
After watching Brother Li carrying the two children upstairs, she went back to the bathroom and washed the children's clothes.
Brother Li and Sister Xiaoning’s clothes can be washed during the day tomorrow. This is what Qin Jingru taught her.
She said that Brother Li and Sister Xiao Ning had a lot of clothes and would not be in a hurry to wear the ones they took off today, but instead the children's clothes.
Li Shu and Li Ning were both at a naughty age, and no matter how much clothes they had, they were never enough.
It's okay because Li Shu is in kindergarten now. Two sets of clothes a day are enough for her to change. But look at Li Ning, who is only one and a half years old. He is really a naughty boy.
Li Shu is naughty in an open way, and she shows her bad intentions on her face, but Li Ning imitates her sister and is low-key and naughty.
If you are not paying attention, he will start doing bad things. If you don't watch him, you won't even know what bad things he does.
By the time you find out, it's too late.
She didn't think that the two children in Brother Li's family were difficult to take care of, they were just a little too particular.
When I was taking care of my younger brother at home, there wasn't much to pay attention to. This might be because there are fewer children in the city.
If it were really like their family, with eight children, they wouldn't be so spoiled.
Well, in Zhou Erya's opinion, Li Shu and Li Ning are both well-off and a little spoiled.
After washing the children's clothes and taking a bath, she returned to her bedroom.
Her own bedroom, what a strange word, it is her life now. Looking at the spacious house, exquisite furniture and bright lights, she has been in this house for three or four days, but still feels it is unreal.
Maybe, this is the fortune that her cousin said she would give her.

In mid-September, the joint industrial fair opened grandly at the Red Star Steel Group Industrial Exhibition Hall.
Remember, when we talk about grand events, there must be heavyweight leaders attending the event, giving congratulations and speeches.
People in those days did not abuse words like later generations. They just said what they meant. If we said grand, it was grand.
Of course, this grand event is not only to give face to the Red Star Steel Group, but also to give face to the companies participating in the conference.
Red Star Steel Group is very good at dealing with people and doing things, both in substance and appearance.
Since it is called the Joint Industrial Fair, the word "joint" is the key point. The goods at the fair include not only the Red Star brand, but also the products of all the joint units dispatched by the Trade Management Center.
As can be seen above, this trade fair is of great significance. It is based in the north and is a more targeted commercial activity than the Guangzhou Trade Fair.
During this period, when holding trade fairs in Beijing, you know how much pressure Lao Li was under.
It was thanks to Li Xuewu's effective planning and the support of a large number of sister companies that today's event was made possible.
From the above, we can see that the Red Star Factory shares the fruits of development, the advanced ones lead the backward ones, and share the path to success with other industrial enterprises.
From a horizontal perspective, the Red Star Factory is very generous. It not only sells its own brand products, but also wants to help them get rich together.
Looking from below, trade fairs are a transformation and opportunity for sales work, from passive to active, and from the tertiary industry to the primary industry.
How did the Red Star Steel Group develop? It was because it made the tertiary industry more powerful than the primary industry.
There is a wide variety of products including automobiles, hardware, aircraft, food, etc. Exhibitors come from industrial enterprises across the country, and heads of provincial offices in Beijing are present to support their own companies.
In particular, the Andrew Buyer Club, which was far away in Hong Kong, organized a business team to participate in this trade fair.
The participation of foreign businessmen immediately ignited the enthusiasm for the trade fair and also raised the level of this trade fair.
Why is Red Star Steel Group able to become the leader in the tertiary industry trade? Isn’t it because it has seized the opportunity of foreign trade?
Although other industrial enterprises are also engaged in foreign trade, they still have to go through the general trading company, which brings too many restrictions.
They would be delighted just thinking about gaining favor from foreign businessmen and getting opportunities for foreign trade through trade fairs.
It's a pity that the example of Red Star Steel Group cannot be replicated. One test product would be enough. The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation would have already entered the exhibition and carried out corresponding work.
However, the attitude of the superiors towards the foreign trade achievements of Red Star Steel Group has also led to a change in the attitude of foreign trade and economics in their work.
When conducting foreign trade work, especially pricing and quality negotiations, it is necessary to seek more opinions from manufacturers.
This little progress alone is enough to show the positive role that Red Star Steel Group plays in promoting foreign trade.
If there is a precedent like the Red Star Steel Group, which opened the door to foreign trade, the distribution company would go bankrupt.
The higher-ups may also want to use the Red Star Steel Group as a test product to test and promote internal changes in relevant departments.
Industrial trade fairs are not only aimed at foreign and domestic buyers, as well as the purchasing targets of the industrial system, but also at the general public.
The ticket price is 20 cents, whether you buy anything or not, just to enter.
The Industrial Exhibition Hall did not charge any fees to the exhibitors who came to participate in the trade fair.
Likewise, ticket revenue will not be shared with them.
Looking at the large numbers of ordinary citizens pouring into the exhibition hall, one can understand how much the two-cent ticket price can cover.
If you ask whether the two-cent ticket is worth it, the citizens who are buying in large bags will not answer you because they don't have time.
Although it was supplied in small quantities with tickets, it was still a rare opportunity for the industrial system to open up the supply and sale of industrial products to the people.
If you can’t afford a car, you can at least afford a bicycle!
"Excuse me, this bike is mine." Someone reminded the foreign businessman who was looking at the bike, "Please take your hands off my bike."

PS: I am flying to Yunnan tomorrow. If there is no update, it means I am too tired from the journey and can’t write anymore. I will make up for it then.
