Chapter 1295 What an unexpected event
Which is better, Chinese food or Western food?
Li Xuewu’s answer was to eat whatever is available and not to be picky. Only after you have tasted it in your mouth can you be qualified to judge which one tastes better.
He has more opportunities to eat Chinese food. He eats Western food mostly for work, like this time when he ate Italian food.
Of course, since it is a working meal, there is no need to make too many comments. And since you don’t have to spend your own money, of course you can eat as much as you want.
The Italian girl who was eating with him was also quite interesting. She liked him to feed her. The first thing she said when they were together was: Feed me.
Alas - you have no idea how much Li Xuewu has given to his work. One day he even worked hard to feed others meals for work.
Of course, Italian food also has its own characteristics, such as grilled sausages.
Catherine didn't stay in Beijing for a few days. She came to Beijing just to get the support of Li Xuewu and the Red Star Factory.
Li Xuewu's promise was enough. She still had to go to Yingcheng to take over the team her father left for her.
Readers who have a shipping company at home that needs to be taken over know that getting along with their father’s old colleagues and subordinates is also a technical job.
She was able to convince Li Xuewu in one night, but it was impossible for her to use the same trick against that team.
So, she still has a lot to do.
However, one thing that can be seen from her is that she is very inexperienced and that is that she actually got Li Xuewu's promise.
What can I say? So far, no one has been able to get a promise from Li Xuewu. How did she have this illusion?
Someone asked, aren’t you, Li Xuewu, a scumbag?
There's no way. Li Xuewu said this is a working meal. Do you think seriously about what you eat when you eat a working meal?
The temperature at the end of May has really heated up, and the emerald green everywhere indicates that this season is already summer.
Of course, this emerald green was also contributed by Li Xuewu, but he didn't know to whom this color was given.
"Plans cannot keep up with changes. Do you think I want to change the plan?"
Li Xuewu tapped the document, looked at Lang Zhennan and said, "The leader said that helicopters will definitely be used in the future, so we need this."
"Leader, let's have a discussion. Can we state this request all at once?"
Lang Zhennan smiled bitterly and said, "The plan was changed again and again, and in the end we didn't know which plan to use."
"Then go talk to Director Li—"
Li Xuewu smiled and nodded at him, saying, "If you dare to complain like this in front of him, I will still respect you as a man."
“Hehehe——” Lang Zhennan said whatever he wanted to say, but of course he didn’t dare to joke about his future. “I dare to tell you, but I don’t dare to tell Director Li. I don’t know what to say.”
"Okay, I won't make things difficult for you if I can stick to it," Li Xuewu pushed the document over and said, "As for whether he heard it from someone or really saw something new, I don't know."
He knocked on the table and motioned Lang Zhennan to look at the document. "The current situation is that the leader wants a helicopter landing pad and a leisure area."
"Open-air recreation area?" Lang Zhennan picked up the document on the table in surprise and said as he read it, "I'm not bothered by the recreation area, but...what the hell is a swimming pool!"
"I wouldn't be surprised if there was a small cinema and tennis court on top of it, but I'm really surprised by this swimming pool..."
"Swimming pool..." Li Xuewu glanced at him and reminded him lightly: "You also know that the leader likes sports. This can be regarded as a welfare for the group's employees. After working hard, there is also a place to relax."
"Secretary General, are you serious?"
Lang Zhennan dared to guarantee with his ancestors that even if the swimming pool was built, no employees of the group would go swimming there during working hours.
"How about - do it outside on the first floor?" He hesitated and said, "The technical indicators will be lowered to a different level this way."
"I don't mind," Li Xuewu couldn't help laughing, looking at him and said, "But I don't mind guiding you to imagine such a scene."
"Director Li was swimming in the outdoor pool on the first floor, but our colleagues on the 11th and 10th floors watched and didn't care," he said, pointing out the window. "But you have to know that our office area is open, and anyone walking in from the street can see it."
"Then it's not that everyone is watching Director Li swimming, but Director Li is performing a swimming show for everyone. Isn't this a live broadcast?"
"But...but...sigh..." Lang Zhennan was still thinking about fighting for it, but when he thought of the scene described by the Secretary-General, he couldn't help but want to laugh, "Live broadcast..."
Director Li looks quite white, but not to the extent that everyone would look at a white pig playing in the water.
"Director Li's request is for a swimming pool, but he didn't say how big it should be, nor did he say it should be open-air on the rooftop," Li Xuewu glanced at him and reminded him, "The top floor isn't used for offices, so a swimming pool can also be used as a fire water reserve, greening water, and so on."
"You, don't think it's difficult or useless just because the leader makes a request," he raised his eyebrows and said to Lang Zhennan, "He must have thought it through carefully to put forward the request on paper."
"As for difficulties and considerations, I think he is more cautious than you think and more afraid of problems than any of us. What do you think?"
"Yes, I didn't think it through enough."
When Lang Zhennan thought of what Li Xuewu said, he thought about the swimming pool in his mind and realized that it would be much easier to build a swimming pool indoors.
His difficulty was the maintenance and temperature control of the outdoor swimming pool.
"If you don't understand the swimming pool, you can discuss it with the French designers. Talk to them about what equipment and facilities you need. Make a list for me and I'll arrange for someone to buy them for you."
Li Xuewu glanced at him and said, "Including a small cinema and a tennis court. If you can't afford it, then buy it."
"I understand, Secretary General. I'll show you the plan when it's ready," Lang Zhennan said seriously. "Even if we increase the budget, you still have to discuss it with the leaders..."
"Don't worry about this. I'll talk to the leader."
Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "If there is no problem, let's do it this way. Come up with a plan as soon as possible."
There is no need to make it too clear. Li Xuewu understands, and Lang Zhennan also understands that these weird requests were not made by others.
Director Li, who is good at eating and playing, is the main reason why this opinion cannot be discussed. As for the equipment of the swimming pool and the leisure area, Lang Zhennan also understands that if they can't get it, they have to import it.
As for where to import from and who is responsible for the import, he doesn't have to worry about that. Li Xuewu has some channels that he knows but doesn't understand.
Is this what the Secretary-General is capable of?
"Why did you suddenly think of building a swimming pool and a tennis court?"
Li Xuewu and Gao Yaqin talked about this matter on the way back from Second Automobile Works. The news had already spread in the agency.
In fact, it's not just the Red Star Factory. All the agencies in the country are the same. They may have some sense of confidentiality towards outsiders, but internally -
It’s hard to explain. It’s really hard to explain.
Let me put it this way, it was thanks to the underdeveloped communication system in that era, otherwise everyone below would have known what was said at the management committee meeting before the meeting was over.
Since it was Li Xuewu who coordinated the Engineering Control Center to make the planning modification suggestions, it was equivalent to making it public without any confidentiality precautions.
It's not to mention that the Red Star Factory did this only in this era. It had its own piece of land, its own engineering and construction company, and even its own fire department. If it happened in the future...
Not to mention changing the swimming pool, even the French architectural design team that moved in to change some of the exterior and design drawings were not allowed.
Now? Of course there is no problem now.
In the absence of systematic control and supervision in the domestic construction industry, as long as the foundation is well laid, you can add as many floors as you want.
"I really don't know about the swimming pool," Li Xuewu glanced at Han Jiankun who was driving, and whispered to Gao Yaqin beside him, "I know about the small cinema, but I'm also confused about the tennis court."
"If you say so—" Gao Yaqin glanced at him, twitched the corner of her mouth, and said, "I think I know it too."
"Alas - if the superior likes something, the subordinates must follow it. There is nothing we can do about it."
Li Xuewu spread his hands and said, "But the cinema is also useful. There will definitely be a lot of movie materials in the future. Let's watch and learn together."
"How many times a year can it happen——"
Gao Yaqin was almost about to say that the budget was wasted, but she had just arrived after all, and it was not easy for her to directly accuse Director Li by name.
"What about the tennis court? It's not because of you, is it?"
"If I say I'm innocent, you must think I'm being hypocritical, right?"
Li Xuewu smiled helplessly and did not answer the question. The lice on the monk's head were an obvious thing.
He invited a lot of people to the club to play tennis for entertainment, and sooner or later the news would reach Director Li's ears.
Just wonder why this thing is so fun. Let him play in a circle. How can Old Li not complain?
In fact, Lao Li also has his own circle, but it is a bit unhealthy and the number of people is limited.
It was quite convenient for four people to get together to play mahjong and talk about things. They could talk about work while playing, but the constant smoking was a bit unbearable.
Playing tennis is different, it’s exercise, healthy and sunny.
The key is that you can call beautiful girls to play together, up and down. Old Li must know this thing, otherwise he wouldn't be so jealous and suggest to Li Xuewu to build a tennis court on the top floor.
Jealousy has made Lao Li a little deformed.
"Let's go back and make an appointment with Director Li, and we'll go to the club to exercise together," Li Xuewu said with a smile, "Enjoy a healthy life."
"You should take it easy," Gao Yaqin glanced at him and said with a smile, "Director Li is taking medicine and has wounds on his body."
“Hehehe——” Li Xuewu chuckled, “Now that you put it that way, Director Li seems to be in his seventies or eighties.”
The two men chatted and laughed as the Volga sedan turned a corner and drove towards the factory gate.
"Wait a minute, Jiankun, stop the car."
Li Xuewu only glanced out the window and saw a familiar figure arguing with the security guard.
He stopped the car and took a careful look, only to be sure that he was not mistaken.
"That's--" Li Xuewu suddenly stopped the car. Gao Yaqin was also a little surprised. She looked at the movement at the door and asked, "Do you know him?"
"Well, wait a moment, I'll go down and take a look."
Li Xuewu only said one sentence and opened the car door and got out without further explanation.
The guard had seen the leader's car a long time ago, otherwise he would not have tried so hard to stop it. Now that he saw the car stopped, he was frightened and stunned.
When Hu Yanqiu saw Li Xuewu getting out of the car and walking towards her, before the guards could react, she had already burst into tears.
"lead--"
That’s right, what Li Xuewu saw from the car window was Xiao Hu, the secretary who used to work in the commission’s office and followed Cheng Kaiyuan, and also followed Cheng Kaiyuan.
But the Xiao Hu in front of him seemed to be two different people from the clever Xiao Hu when they first met.
Not to mention what she was wearing. The clothes looked good, but they were not very neat and not suitable for the season.
Look at the child in her arms. He is only a few months old and should be growing up, but he is curled up in the cradle.
"Xiao Hu, don't cry first."
Since Li Xuewu has seen it, he cannot just ignore it. Since he has decided to take care of it, he will not deal with it casually.
If he was still the head of the security team, the car would definitely not stop, but who makes him the director of the commission's office and the secretary-general of the management committee?
It is one thing for Xiao Hu to come alone and for Xiao Hu to come with her child. These are two different things, for the Red Star Factory and for the person she is looking for.
Li Xuewu could guess who she was looking for, but the lights were too dim that night and he couldn't see clearly who the father of the child was.
No matter who he is, as the Secretary General, he cannot watch this fun.
So, he first took the child from the other person, and then looked at the security guard who had an embarrassed look on his face.
"Secretary General, I am Liu Buxian, the duty supervisor of the security post."
Liu Buxian saluted Li Xuewu first, then explained: "This comrade came to our gate and said he was looking for the leader. I reported it according to the procedure, but the leader was not there, so..."
He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Xuewu and continued to report: "According to the management regulations for non-factory visitors, I can only register and persuade them to leave."
"I'm not criticizing your handling of the situation, but can you please consider the method?"
Li Xuewu's tone was not very serious, he just said in the form of expressing his opinion: "After all, he is holding the child. Let's fight at the door. What if someone gets hurt?"
"Yes, Secretary General, I was wrong."
The shift leader was very sensible and knew how to deal with the leader's opinions. He just had to explain his job responsibilities clearly and then apologize.
First, he must demonstrate his principle of following the regulations so that his leader cannot criticize his principles. Second, an apology can resolve all conflicts.
The apology was just to the leader, and there was no need to suffer any injustice. It was obvious that this kid was a soldier trained by a veteran.
"Okay, let's talk about it. Stop crying."
Li Xuewu nodded to Hu Yanqiu and said, "Who are you looking for? I'll take you to the factory to rest for a while and see how the child is doing."
“Wuwuwu——” Hu Yanqiu cried out of breath, wiped her tears with the sleeves of her sweater, and said, “Leader, I—I really have no choice, I can’t support him——”
"Okay, I get it. If you have any problems, let's go in and talk about it. We can solve what needs to be solved. Why are you crying?"
Li Xuewu held the child and pointed to the direction of the car, saying, "Let's go, let's get in the car first. I just came back from outside."
He then told the duty monitor: "Don't do this again in the future. Tell your leader that if there is a special situation like this again, call my office and I will tell you how to deal with it."
"Yes, Secretary General——"
The squad leader on duty was also Li Xuewu's former soldier. When his leader gave instructions, he of course obeyed.
After saluting, he trotted to the car and helped open the door.
"Co-pilot," Li Xuewu gestured to Hu Yanqiu in the direction of the co-pilot seat, and he got on the back seat holding the child.
When the security guard opened the car door, Gao Yaqin's eyes were full of surprise. She didn't expect that Li Xuewu would come back with a child.
Especially there was a girl wearing a thick sweater sitting on the passenger seat. It’s a bit hot to wear a sweater in this season, right?
"Let's go back to the office area," Li Xuewu said after getting in the car. Considering Hu Yanqiu's feelings, he did not explain to Gao Yaqin.
Along the way, Gao Yaqin looked at Li Xuewu, at the child in his arms, and then at the girl in the passenger seat, her eyes full of speculation.
"Woo woo - thank you, leader."
As soon as the car entered the main gate, Hu Yanqiu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, seemed to be moved by the scene and started crying again.
"Okay, now that I've seen it, I won't ignore you," Li Xuewu untied the swaddling clothes and let the child dissipate the heat. "If you have anything to say, come to my place and we can talk slowly. Calm yourself down first."
"He seems listless," Gao Yaqin looked at the child and reminded him, "Is he sick?"
"Wuwu - no -" Hu Yanqiu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said in a crying voice: "I don't have milk, he is hungry -"
"Huh——" Gao Yaqin frowned and let out a long breath. She hated to see this the most, but looking at the young and down-and-out mother in the passenger seat, what else could she blame her for?
Should we ask her why she has no milk, why she doesn't eat more nutritional supplements, or feed her child with milk powder?
There are so many sufferings in the world and it is hard to predict what will happen.
Apart from sighing, the only thing you can do when seeing something like this is to keep your thoughts to yourself.
It seems that Li Xuewu knows this mother and child. And judging from the argument outside the car window, this girl brought her child to see a certain leader.
The only ones who can be called leaders are the members of their management committee, so... it is not difficult to guess who they are looking for.
Of course, she didn't know who Hu Yanqiu was. When she was transferred here, she only heard about the incident but had never met the person involved.
At that time, Hu Yanqiu had already been dealt with and was fired from her job immediately. Her problems were also very serious, but she was not the mastermind, and she had a child to consider. After she was arrested, she cooperated very well with the investigation, so her leaders and superiors intended to let her go.
If she was let go, no one would care about her from then on.
A girl with a child would not be able to get food even if she went begging during this period.
Her parents had long regarded her as an enemy and were unwilling to even look at her, let alone care about her.
This child was once her savior, but now he has become a burden to her. Fortunately, she brought the child with her.
If the child was abandoned, or... Li Xuewu would never be able to bring her in. Even if it was public opinion, it could be handled.
One must be principled in life and work, and all principles must give way to children. Li Xuewu could not just watch the problem become more serious.
Therefore, Hu Yanqiu must be in charge, and Cheng Kaiyuan must be in charge.
The car stopped in front of the office building, and Li Xuewu got out of the car with the help of Han Jiankun, holding the child.
The weather was really hot, and Li Xuewu saw that the child was wearing enough clothes, so he removed the swaddling clothes.
"Jiankun, don't go park the car. Go and buy me two cans of milk powder. I want the best kind."
Li Xuewu held the child in both hands and said before going up the stairs: "Don't forget to buy bottles and pacifiers. Go quickly and come back and bring them to my office."
"Okay, boss, I'll go right away."
Han Jiankun certainly knew who Hu Yanqiu was, and also knew who this child was. After this incident happened, there was a lot of discussion in the agency.
He doesn't like gossip, but he couldn't help but hear these words, and he heard them all.
Li Xuewu and Gao Yaqin took the crying Hu Yanqiu up the stairs, and Han Jiankun drove away again.
People kept passing by along the way, and when they greeted Li Xuewu and the others, they looked at Hu Yanqiu in surprise.
Of course Hu Yanqiu was too ashamed to face anyone. Facing the looks of her former colleagues and thinking of her past, her tears could not stop flowing.
Li Xuewu did not try to persuade her anymore, as he knew that he could not persuade her at this moment, so he just wanted to leave quickly and go upstairs to put the child down.
In such a hot day, the child must have died of heat if not starved to death. I don’t know how Hu Yanqiu is as a mother. It’s bad enough that she can’t take care of herself, but she can’t even take care of the child. How could she be so bold as to give birth to a child? Didn’t she think about the future?
"Deputy Director Gao, please report to Director Li first. I'll handle this first and I'll come to you later."
At the stairs on the third floor, Li Xuewu said something to Gao Yaqin, then pointed to his office and asked Hu Yanqiu to go first.
Gao Yaqin glanced at her and said to Li Xuewu, "I'm not in a hurry here. You go do your work first. Come find me when you're done. Let's go find Director Li together."
"Okay, then wait for me for a moment."
Li Xuewu nodded, followed Gao Yaqin's instructions and walked towards his office. When he passed by the big office, he called Wang Lu.
"Leader, what are you doing..." Wang Lu was also very surprised to see him holding a child. She ran over and asked, "Whose child is this?"
"Stop asking and do me a favor."
Li Xuewu gestured to Hu Yanqiu who was standing in the room and said, "Find her a short-sleeved shirt. If she doesn't have one, go to the logistics department to get her a summer outfit."
As he spoke, he put the child on the sofa, stood up, went to the tea cabinet and poured a cup of warm water, handed it to Hu Yanqiu who was standing next to the child, and said, "Feed him some water. Look at the child's dry lips."
"Thank you, thank you leader——"
Hu Yanqiu shed tears, thanked the teacher, took the cup of tea and gently fed the child.
The child is listless and even drinks water like a kitten. I don't know whether to say that the child has a hard life or is just strong.
Wang Lu had already recognized who the person wearing the thick sweater was, and apart from the surprise in her eyes, she didn't say a word.
Li Xuewu does everything flawlessly. Since he was able to bring Hu Yanqiu to the office, it showed that there was a plan and arrangement.
So after he finished explaining, Wang Lu left quickly.
Starting this year, the agency management office unified the dress standards for employees. After the front-line workers unified their dress, all offices also changed to white and black, and this dressing style has become the standard.
The agency management office also has work clothes management regulations. Li Xuewu has already given them a model of how white and black should be worn.
Others must receive work clothes according to the seasonal shifts, or have a new employee approval note from the HR department, or an approval note from the leader.
The only exception is Li Xuewu. Li Xuewu's secretary Wang Lu does not need a permit to come here to collect work clothes. And it is not just work clothes. As the chief leader, he has absolute authority in the management scope of other commissions and offices.
Wang Lutui was quick and efficient. After a while, the child had just drunk some warm water and she brought over a set of summer white and black medicine.
"Close the door, change your clothes first," Li Xuewu said to Hu Yanqiu, who was sweating profusely, "I'm going to talk to the leader."
"If Han Jiankun comes back, you should feed the child some milk powder first. Not too much, be careful not to hurt him."
Li Xuewu gave Hu Yanqiu a lot of instructions, and when he saw that Hu Yanqiu's emotions had stabilized and she understood what he said, he stood up and walked out.
"You stay here and help me take care of her."
After saying something to Wang Lu, he left the room.
Wang Lu followed him out and reported softly: "Leader, even if you don't say it, I won't leave. I will leave when you come back."
"Okay, I'll be back in a minute."
Li Xuewu nodded, pointed in the direction of the leader's office, and walked forward.
Wang Lu retracted her gaze, went into the room, closed the door, and said, "Please change your clothes. I'll help you guard the door."
"You must be Wang Lu, thank you."
Hu Yanqiu still remembered her. He had seen her in all her life and gossiped about her, but he didn't expect that things had changed and people had changed.
It has only been more than four months since the beginning of the year, but it seems like more than ten years have passed.
Wang Lu didn't feel comfortable talking to her, and didn't want to get involved in her affairs, so she just nodded and turned around to stare outside the door.
These days, almost all office doors have glass windows with white curtains drawn from the inside.
Hu Yanqiu looked at the familiar Baijiahei, and her eyes were filled with tears again.
If she hadn't done anything wrong, maybe today she would be like Wang Lu, wearing decent clothes and working here...
There are not so many ifs in the world.
-
"Hello, Secretary General—"
When Cheng Kaiyuan's secretary He Miao saw that it was Li Xuewu coming, he quickly stood up and greeted him.
Li Xuewu nodded, pointed to the office and asked, "Is Deputy Director Cheng here?"
"Yes, please wait a moment," He Miao walked to the office door and knocked gently. After hearing the answer from inside, he quickly opened the door and reported concisely: "Leader, the secretary general is here."
In the time it took him to say this, he stepped aside and, smiling, invited Li Xuewu into the house.
Li Xuewu only paused at the door for a few seconds while He Miao helped him knock and open the door. It was these few seconds that showed He Miao's professionalism.
"Deputy Director Cheng, you are at home."
"Come on, Secretary General, I was just thinking about it." Cheng Kaiyuan didn't know what happened, so he called Li Xuewu and said, "Why is there no movement from Jingcheng Auto? Xiao He said you and Deputy Director Gao went there."
"Let's test the waters there first," Li Xuewu explained with a smile. "Deputy Director Gao's opinion is that even if we want to negotiate, we have to discuss it with Second Automobile Works and be prepared with Beijing Automobile Works."
"As you should. It's better to be prepared." Cheng Kaiyuan nodded and said, "You are negotiation experts. There is no doubt about this."
He agreed with Li Xuewu's explanation, looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Why did you come to see me..."
"Well, that's it, Deputy Director Cheng."
Li Xuewu glanced at the tea cabinet at the door. He Miao came over with two cups of hot tea. Hearing the secretary-general's pause, he quickly said, "Secretary-General, please have some tea."
"Okay, thank you—"
Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, waiting for the other party to leave, then looked at the doubtful Cheng Kaiyuan and said calmly: "Deputy Director Gao and I came back and met Hu Yanqiu at the gate."
When Cheng Kaiyuan heard his words, his expression changed instantly, and his eyes when he looked at Li Xuewu became much sharper.
Li Xuewu understood this sharpness. He was simply doubting his purpose, why he told him such a thing, and whether he did it on purpose.
Or, were you angry at Li Xuewu for meddling in your affairs?
"It was a hot day, and she was wearing a thick sweater, which was very messy. The child was also wrapped in a thick blanket, and looked very weak."
Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to Cheng Kaiyuan's gaze and said calmly: "She told the security guard that she was here to see you, but the security guard called your office and the reply he got was that you were not in."
"Hu Yanqiu can't even eat her own meal, let alone feed her child. I think the child is going to die of hunger."
He just looked at Cheng Kaiyuan, and Cheng Kaiyuan's expression began to change with his words, becoming uncertain.
"The guard wouldn't let her in, so she started arguing with him. I happened to see it, so I brought her and the child to my office."
Li Xuewu nodded slowly and said, "I asked Han Jiankun to buy milk powder, and asked Wang Lu to get her a set of thin summer clothes."
At this point, he paused, observing Cheng Kaiyuan's expression. Seeing that he was not angry, he continued, "As the secretary general, I can't watch her and the child get into trouble at the gate."
"Similarly, I can't watch you get into trouble again," he said very bluntly, so blunt that Cheng Kaiyuan had to face the problem, "so she's in my office, she wants to see you."
"If it's convenient for you, we can talk in my office, or I can send them to your place."
Cheng Kaiyuan did not answer Li Xuewu's words immediately, but sat there and thought about it.
Li Xuewu didn't come for him because there was no need.
With Li Xuewu's ability and brain, he would not do such a despicable thing. He has countless ways to set a trap for him.
There was no need to think about whether Hu Yanqiu was coming for him. Now he just needed to determine whether there was a dark hand behind Hu Yanqiu.
Having said that, Cheng Kaiyuan was not annoyed by Li Xuewu's meddling, because he really didn't know about this matter.
Of course, there is no need to ask who answered the phone and who gave the reply. It must be Xiao He at the door.
As a secretary of a leader, he is responsible for considering the leader and eliminating some troubles and problems, so he cannot criticize Xiao He.
Therefore, there was no question of holding the secretary accountable, and he had to give Li Xuewu a reply as soon as possible.
Of course he could say that the child was not his, and he could also say that his relationship with Hu Yanqiu had been completely severed long ago.
However, he could not get rid of the past, just as Hu Yanqiu could not get rid of that child.
Now it doesn’t matter who the child belongs to. What matters is that neither the child nor the adult gets into any harm. Stability is important.
He is actually walking on thin ice in the Red Star Factory team. It seems that this problem has been dealt with and he has also been punished.
But this is his history, a landmine that can jump out at any time and cause him trouble.
Li Xuewu's attitude was actually very clear, otherwise he would not have come to his office to find him. This matter could have been conveyed through the secretary.
As the Secretary General, he had to admit that Li Xuewu did nothing wrong, and that Li Xuewu, who had no intention of harming him, wanted him to solve the problem head-on.
Cheng Kaiyuan thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Let's go. Thank you for your hard work. I still need your help in solving this problem."
"It's not hard, it's what I should do."
Li Xuewu said this without any modesty, as this kind of work is indeed his job.
Maintain the stable operation of the agency and maintain the normal work of the leadership.
When he walked out of the office, Xiao He was standing at the door, his face pale, as if he was afraid of being scolded by his leader.
Cheng Kaiyuan didn't scold him, but he didn't pay any attention to him either.
Cheng Kaiyuan is now not interested in dealing with his secretary, let alone teaching him how to do things.
Li Xuewu just glanced at He Miao and accompanied Cheng Kaiyuan back to his office.
Along the way, some office staff on the third floor who had heard the news would secretly lean over the door to watch, or deliberately pass by the corridor to see the expressions of the two men.
Cheng Kaiyuan had already prepared himself mentally, so he did not feel frustrated or angry when facing the gazes of the crowd.
But no one knew what he was thinking underneath his calm appearance, not even Li Xuewu who was walking beside him.
But I can guess roughly that it's not pleasant anyway.
The door of Li Xuewu's office was half open. Hu Yanqiu should have changed her clothes. He asked Cheng Kaiyuan to come in first, and then he walked in.
In the office, Wang Lu was busy preparing milk powder, while Hu Yanqiu, who had changed into summer clothes and obviously washed her face, was holding the child.
"Leader, you are back."
Wang Lu awkwardly handed over the bottle of milk powder and said, "Can you help me figure out how warm the water should be?"
"Let me do it, you go do your thing."
Li Xuewu took the bottle and glanced at the washbasin at the door. The water was very black.
Not only was the water black, but the towel was also black. It seemed that Hu Yanqiu not only washed her face, but also wiped her body while changing into summer clothes.
In this weather, it's too hot to wear short sleeves, let alone a sweater. The sweat would already smell, and she was afraid of being disliked.
She is a good girl, but she still feels ashamed after harming herself to such an extent. This shows that she can still be saved.
As soon as Cheng Kaiyuan entered the room, he stared at Hu Yanqiu who was sitting on the sofa. Hu Yanqiu also saw him and tears started to flow again.
She only dared to look at Cheng Kaiyuan once, then lowered her head, made herself as small as possible, and hid herself.
Even when crying, she suppressed her voice so that her leader wouldn't hear her.
They had a past together, but when they met now, they felt like they were separated by life and death. At least Hu Yanqiu was sure that she and Cheng Kaiyuan were no longer from the same world.
Cheng Kaiyuan walked to the sofa and sat down. He looked at the child, then looked at Hu Yanqiu. He opened his mouth several times but couldn't say anything.
Li Xuewu handed the bottle of prepared milk to the child's mouth. Perhaps because he was very hungry and smelled the taste of food, the child began to suck on it, eating very eagerly and quickly.
"Hold him up a little, don't choke him."
"Thank you--thank you--"
This was the umpteenth time that Hu Yanqiu had said thank you to Li Xuewu, and her tone was filled with tears that could not be suppressed.
She took the bottle on her own initiative and watched the baby in her arms eat noisily. She began to smile a little as she cried.
Children are the cure for everything, and their angelic looks always bring infinite strength and joy to parents.
The more Cheng Kaiyuan looked at the mother and son, the more distressed he felt. As he observed Hu Yanqiu's expression, he no longer had the desire to find out what was behind it.
Regardless of whether someone arranged for her to come here or encouraged her to harm him, he couldn't bear to see Hu Yanqiu's current appearance.
Some things have to be faced eventually, and some things have to be resolved eventually.
Zhang Shicheng didn't want to hide anymore, but he had no chance to face him. Now he was the only one Hu Yanqiu could turn to for help.
Li Xuewu waited until the child finished eating before taking the bottle and said, "I'll clean this for you and put it in the box along with the two cans of milk powder. You can take it back when you leave later."
"Secretary General, I - I will earn money to pay you back -"
Hu Yanqiu didn't dare look at Cheng Kaiyuan, for fear that he would blame her. She just looked at Li Xuewu with hopeful eyes, begging him to stay.
Li Xuewu rinsed the bottle with warm water and said, "You don't have to return this. Consider it a gift from me."
After putting the washed milk bottles in the box, he turned around and looked at Hu Yanqiu and Cheng Kaiyuan and said, "Deputy Director Gao is waiting for me to go with Director Li to report on the trip to Beijing Auto."
"So you guys can talk slowly first. If you need anything, call Wang Lu. I'll ask her to wait for you at the door."
The meaning of this was very straightforward. The office would be lent to them for their conversation, and Wang Lu would be arranged to help them guard the door.
Since Wang Lu has been arranged, it means that Li Xuewu has made a guarantee that even if Wang Lu overheard their conversation, she will not tell anyone.
Li Xuewu nodded to Cheng Kaiyuan, and seeing that he had no objection, he walked out.
He could only act as an initiator and arranger for this matter, he could not interfere, let alone listen. There were many things he could not say to Cheng Kaiyuan.
Hu Yanqiu wanted him to stay because she didn't know how to face Cheng Kaiyuan, but Cheng Kaiyuan was the key to solving her life problems.
And now that she has come, she has to make Cheng Kaiyuan face the problem and say what he said in front of him that violates the principle.
No matter how distant the relationship between two people is, it should come to an end at this moment, even if it is a real end.
Li Xuewu believed that Cheng Kaiyuan had understood his opinions and would fully consider them.
As for Hu Yanqiu, he never considered her opinion from beginning to end. If it weren't for the sake of the child, there would be no need to risk offending Cheng Kaiyuan to help her.
So, he is a kind person after all.
God is watching what people do. When you encounter something, you can't pretend not to see it. Even if you don't see it, it will find you.
