Chapter 1023 Being a Father
We left the No. 1 hospital by car at 6:55 and arrived downstairs at the hospital at 6:59.
I was delayed for a minute when crossing the street because it was getting off work.
Because Gu Ning was used to wearing loose pajamas at home, he was wrapped in a quilt for convenience and carried into the car by three people.
When I got off the bus, the hospital nurse helped me, so it didn't waste even a minute.
The time I entered the delivery room was 7:02.
The reason why Li Xuewu remembered it so clearly was because he kept looking at the time on his wrist.
It is convenient that the hospital is close to home. Although I was a little nervous, I had already prepared for all the procedures.
So from the moment Gu Ning greeted Li Xuewu, the entire Li family began to mobilize.
It takes less time to prepare the delivery bag, quilt, start the car, go out, arrive at the hospital, and enter the delivery room than to go to the toilet.
Only Li Xuewu and Han Jiankun are in the hospital for the time being, and Qin Jingru stays at home to take care of Li Shu.
She was the one who called the hospital and also called the courtyard.
Before entering the delivery room, Gu Ning held Li Xuewu's hand tightly. Finally, the director of their department came in person and she let go.
The chief of surgery, the chief of obstetrics, and the chief of anesthesiology all came together and met Li Xuewu at the door without saying much, but they did not need to make any guarantees to Gu Ning.
Li Xuewu doesn't need to worry about the medical conditions and focus here.
At 7:15, the vice president of the hospital came over personally and exchanged a few words with Li Xuewu, expressing his concern and goodwill.
Li Xuewu was very clear about the other party's purpose. While observing the movements in the delivery room, he handled this kind of courtesy with proper tact.
He did not stay long. When his mother Liu Yin, Li Xue and Ji Yuxiu appeared at the stairs, he left on his own initiative.
"When did you go in?"
Liu Yin trotted over anxiously and began to ask questions to her son who came to greet her.
Her eyes were fixed on the door of the delivery room. She didn't actually hear much of Li Xuewu's introduction.
Li Xuewu was worried in his heart, but he remained calm. He arranged for his mother to sit on the bench and spoke a few words to Li Xue and Ji Yuxiu.
"Grandma is coming soon, and I'm afraid you can't take care of Li Shu, so I said I'll take her back later."
"I'm at home with Qin Jingru."
Li Xuewu sat next to his mother. If he didn't sit down, Liu Yin couldn't sit still either.
"I was coaxing her to wash her face. She was fine when she went into the bathroom, but when she came out, she told me that her water had broken."
“How can this be accurate?”
Liu Yin pressed her son's knees with her hands, looking forward to the door of the delivery room, and said mutteringly: "No one dared to say early or late, this time is good."
She counted on her fingers and nodded, saying, "No matter what, as long as you don't arrive at midnight, my eldest grandson will help you."
"Yes, I was so anxious that I was sweating all over my forehead."
Li Xuewu smiled and pretended to wipe his forehead, which had been dried by the wind.
However, this action still made Li Xue and Ji Yuxiu laugh, and they also looked at the delivery room curiously.
Neither of them was at home when my sister-in-law gave birth, and they were unable to help.
She was answering the phone call, so she quickly packed her things, and the two of them got in Shen Guodong's car and came here.
"How many days do you stay in the hospital after giving birth?"
Liu Yin seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Have you booked a room?"
"It's ready. Han Jiankun went home to get his things."
Li Xuewu explained: "The hospital arranges a single room for you. You have to prepare whatever you need. You will stay there for about three to four days, depending on the situation."
"Yes, yes, that's the situation."
Liu Yin nodded and said, "A single room is better, so it doesn't make a lot of noise. No one can rest well if there are too many people in the room."
As she said this, she pointed to the bag she brought on the ground and said to Li Xue, "Send these to the room..."
"what is this?"
Li Xuewu held his mother's hand and asked, "Why are you bringing things?"
“It’s my change of clothes.”
Liu Yin explained: "After Xiaoning gives birth, you can go about your business and I will stay here to take care of her."
"Isn't it already agreed?"
Li Xuewu stopped his mother with a wry smile and said, "It's so close to home, Qin Jingru is there to eat and take care of Xiaoning."
"How can she have the experience to take care of a woman in labor?"
Liu Yin patted her son's hand and advised: "Don't worry about it. If a mother-in-law doesn't serve her daughter-in-law, how can she hold the child?"
"I've already told Xiao Ning that my sister-in-law needs to be taken care of at home."
Li Xuewu persuaded his mother, "Come over when you have time during the day, and go back at night. Qin Jingru will stay here to take care of you at night."
"Listen to me, Mom"
He held his mother's hand and said, "We have a big family, and no one can be missing except you. Every grandchild is important."
"You kid!"
Liu Yin was anxious and said dissatisfiedly: "Is it a joke to take care of the childbirth? How can it be done without management? How can someone who doesn't understand turn over and feed the baby at night!"
"Stop talking and do what you need to do!"
She waved her hand, signaling Li Xue to take the luggage, and said to her son: "It is equally important, so I have to come here, otherwise what would happen."
"Brother, don't delay your meal at home. We will go home in the evening."
Li Xue advised: "You also said that it's only a matter of three or four days, otherwise mom will be worried about her when she gets home."
"That doesn't have to be so..."
Li Xuewu smiled helplessly and said: "Qin Jingru has been prepared to accompany you and take care of the children when she is at home. There will be no problem with the business."
“I can’t trust her”
Liu Yin interrupted her son's explanation without any hesitation and said stubbornly: "Those who have never given birth to children have no right to speak."
After saying that, he instructed his son: "Hurry up and call your mother-in-law. If she comes back to take care of you, I won't compete with her for the job."
It's funny to say this. She knew that her in-laws were in the south and it was not convenient for them to come back, so she was just threatening her son.
Li Xuewu nodded and said: "It's time to call them. I've already said that I would come back to see the children."
“Really…!”
Liu Yin was really surprised to see her son stand up and make a phone call.
Li Xuewu really wasn't trying to scare his mother. He went to the duty room, borrowed a phone with his ID, and called Jinling.
At this time, getting through a long-distance call depended entirely on luck. Fortunately, Li Xuewu was lucky.
The call was connected in less than ten minutes. It was my mother-in-law who answered and asked if I had given birth.
Every time Li Xuewu took the initiative to call Nanbian, he would be asked this question.
Gu Ning would never call on his own initiative, and Li Xuewu didn't call to say hello very often.
So when she heard Li Xuewu's voice, Ding Fengxia asked nervously.
Li Xuewu paused and said, "Mom, Xiaoning just entered the delivery room. Don't worry, everything is going well."
"Ouch! Ouch!"
Ding Fengxia on the other end of the phone didn't know whether she was anxious or happy. She couldn't speak and just sighed twice.
Then I heard her calling the waiter to ask her boss to answer the phone.
After giving the instructions, he asked Li Xuewu about Gu Ning's delivery and the hospital's arrangements.
Li Xuewu took the trouble to report one by one, starting from before dinner, until he mentioned that his mother, sister and others were waiting at the door.
Gu Haitao's voice came from the other end of the phone. He was very calm and told Li Xuewu that he understood and that he just needed to execute according to the plan.
"Yes"
Li Xuewu spoke to his father-in-law in a funny way and almost shouted that he would guarantee to complete the task.
Both the father-in-law and the son-in-law are military men. They are very reserved about their children's love, but they also care about it.
On the other end of the phone came the complaining voice of his mother-in-law, saying that he had too many soldiers and his mind had become rigid, and even his daughter's childbirth had to be planned.
However, Gu Haitao knew his son-in-law's character and knew that he would not put his daughter in danger. Especially after hearing his son-in-law's report, he felt that everything was very good.
He did not ask about his daughter's situation anymore. Instead, he asked if Li Shu had anyone to take care of her and if she needed any help.
Li Xuewu told him about the arrangements at home and also mentioned that his mother insisted on coming to the hospital to take care of him.
"Thank you for your hard work, all for our children"
Gu Haitao said on the phone: "Your mother went to pack clothes, and Xiao Hu went to get the nearest flight ticket."
"Everything is fine at home, Mom doesn't need to rush back."
Li Xuewu took the initiative to persuade them: "You two elders are so busy with work, Xiaoning and I are worried about your health."
“I’m going back.”
After listening to what his son-in-law said, Gu Haitao said, "I'm in good health, you don't have to worry about me, just live your life well, your mother and I are happy."
After saying that, he explained, "I will go to Beijing for a meeting at the end of the month. I will then visit your parents at home and ask them to say hello to me."
After having Li Shu, Li Xuewu has become a father and can especially understand his father-in-law's feelings.
She cares about her daughter, but she won't put pressure on her son-in-law.
The way to express concern for the daughter is to care about the son-in-law and his family, and even to give him instructions in an equal and easy-going manner.
Some people jokingly said that the son-in-law was holding hostages, but in Li Xuewu's opinion, this was really helpless.
In the future, Li Shu will grow up, get married, and have children, and he will become a grandfather like Gu Haitao.
Therefore, we should cherish this concern and understand this love.
After ending the call, Li Xuewu took the initiative to call Han Shu again.
The Gu and Han families had always had a close relationship, and because of the marriage of Dong Wenxue and Han Shu, their interactions became even closer.
Dong Wenxue was raised by Gu Haitao and treats Gu Ning like his own sister. Han Shu also cares for Gu Ning very much.
Since Gu Ning became pregnant, she has come here to visit often.
Now I have to call my immediate family members and cannot forget her, otherwise I will be blamed.
Han Shu was not too surprised. She just said yes and asked Li Xuewu if it was convenient for him to pick her up.
Li Xuewu replied that he would arrange a driver to pick her up and told her not to worry.
After leaving the duty room, I found Han Jiankun at the door of the delivery room. Qin Jingru was also there, and Li Shu was in Ji Yuxiu's arms.
She was a little shy, and the environment and smell in the hospital made her feel dazed.
It was not until she saw her father that she opened her arms for a hug. She was frightened by what her mother had just done.
Qin Jingru said that after they left, Li Shu cried and asked for her mother.
Especially when she saw the scene of being wrapped in a quilt and carried away, the little girl already felt afraid.
He also coaxed and persuaded her, cleaned up the house, dressed her in thick cotton clothes and a thick coat, and carried her to the hospital.
It takes four minutes to get to the hospital by car and eight minutes to walk. It’s so close.
Li Shu cried when she saw her grandmother, and now she was about to cry again when she saw her father.
When she saw the adults were all looking towards the delivery room, she knew her mother was inside.
She hugged Li Xuewu's neck with her little hands, cried so sadly, and babbled for her mother.
Li Xuewu signaled to Han Jiankun, carried her out, and while coaxing her, he told her to pick up Han Shu.
Han Jiankun had been there many times with Li Xuewu, so he naturally knew where it was.
After watching him go downstairs, Li Xuewu coaxed Li Shu and explained to her why his mother had to go to the hospital and why she had to wait here.
At the same time, he pointed at her and said that her mother was like this when she was born, and he was also waiting outside.
Only after Li Xuewu assured her for the third time that her mother would be out soon did she stop crying.
Li Xuewu told her that her mother couldn’t hear her crying when giving birth because it would be anxious.
Li Shu pursed her lips, her eyes full of tears, and tried hard to restrain herself from crying.
When they arrived at the delivery room, Liu Yin wanted to take the baby in her arms, but Li Shu was unwilling and just hugged her father's neck, not to mention Li Xue and others.
Li Xuewu felt amused and helpless. He could only hug her, coax her, persuade her, and also make promises.
Liu Yin pointed at her little hand and said, "Your mother always controls you, why do you still want to look for her?"
"Looking for~"
Li Shu pursed her lips and emphasized stubbornly, tears streaming down her face. Li Xuewu felt so distressed.
When Han Shu arrived with the child, he saw her like this and felt so distressed that he hugged her and kissed her again and again.
Dong Mengyuan didn’t quite understand what giving birth was all about, but he knew that he had to be obedient at this time, otherwise he would be beaten and it would hurt.
I sat on a chair next to my senior brother, watching the adults talking and looking in the direction of the delivery room that the adults were paying attention to.
During this time, Liu Yin and Qin Jingru went to the prepared ward to check the preparations, including thermos, urinal, towels, water cups, etc.
I have already served a daughter-in-law, and that was last month, so she has experience.
But towards Gu Ning, she was more careful and cautious. She said it was all the same, but she felt more distressed about her second son being separated and living on his own.
"Wow--"
Just after half past eight, the sound of a baby crying was heard from the delivery room.
The whole family was just talking about who to notify, who to pick up Li Shun tomorrow, etc.
Before he could finish his words, the sound of crying began.
Liu Yin clenched her fists excitedly, looked at the child carried out by the nurse, and quickly moved forward.
"Mother and child are safe, Director Li, 6.6 jins."
Obviously, the nurse also knew Li Xuewu, and knew what it meant to have three directors preside over a delivery.
They know the identity of the mother better, and from the perspective of a colleague and her background, their tone is naturally different.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
He looked at the child with a smile and thanked the nurse.
The nurse smiled and said politely: "It's not hard, it went smoothly. Please look at the child. I have to send him to the infant observation room and he will have to be observed for a while."
"Okay, thank you"
Li Xuewu looked at the baby sleeping in the mother's arms and touched his little hand affectionately.
Like Li Tang, he was dark and ugly when he was born. But after only one month, Li Tang already looked like a baby.
The whole family gathered around and looked again and again. Even Li Shu stared at the child in her grandmother's arms with her big eyes.
After Qin Jingru followed the nurse and took the baby away, another doctor came out and told Li Xuewu that the woman in labor would be out soon and would be sent directly back to the ward and would need someone to take care of her.
Liu Yin was still thinking about her grandson, but now she reacted, responded and hurried to the ward.
Li Xue and Ji Yuxiu also went to help, fearing that their mother would be overwhelmed by herself.
In fact, all the preparations had just been reviewed, but Liu Yin still felt uneasy.
With Li Xuewu waiting for Gu Ning here, she felt relieved and what she needed to do was to clean up the ward quickly.
"Come, Gu Ning's family members"
The chief of surgery greeted Li Xuewu with a smile and teased him, "Our Gu Ning has worked hard, you have to compensate us well for giving birth to a big fat boy for you."
"Thank you Director Zhang"
Li Xuewu knew her and had done a lot to maintain relationships for Gu Ning, and he lived close to home.
During the time that Gu Ning was pregnant, the other party came to visit her home often, and it was also a kind of observation at the home.
A doctor cannot heal himself, so she came to see Gu Ning and also to check Gu Ning's physical condition.
When she came home, the phone call Qin Jingru made was to her, which she had already told her about.
Sometimes maintaining personal relationships all depends on your attentiveness. If the person is really attentive, she will be there when you call her in the middle of the night. If the person is not attentive, she won’t come even if you shout with a loudspeaker.
Li Xuewu maintained the relationship with Gu Ning not from the perspective of a father-in-law or Gu Ning, but rather from the perspective of a doctor's family member and interacted with them from his own perspective.
Even though his own position is already quite high, this way of getting along is more acceptable to the other party.
Gu Ning's colleagues in the hospital have a very good impression of him, and their attitudes towards him have changed and transformed a lot.
In the past, some people would mention Gu Ning’s personality and background behind her back, but now few people say anything about it, and the hospital even provides Gu Ning with special delivery treatment.
Mutual understanding and mutual tolerance, if Li Xuewu can take the initiative to do it, they will take the initiative to respond, isn't that how people work together?
So rather than saying that the hospital attaches great importance to Gu Ning, it is better to say that it attaches great importance to the relationship between their family members.
The family of Gu Ning and Li Xuewu.
It was just a joke. When Gu Ning was pushed out on the hospital bed, Li Xuewu was still very excited.
Looking at her tired expression, her hair was stuck to her face due to sweat, and her eyes were full of tiredness.
"Go to the ward and observe him. The night nurse will keep an eye on him. He should be able to get out of bed."
With the introduction of the director of surgery, Li Xuewu got to know the director of obstetrics and the director of anesthesia.
The director of obstetrics gave a few instructions and also reminded Li Xuewu that there were doctors on duty at night and he could call them at any time if he had any questions.
Li Xuewu expressed his gratitude again. Amidst Li Shu's crying, he smiled apologetically and followed the nurse to push Gu Ning to the ward.
Li Shu couldn't help crying when she saw her mother lying weakly on the bed. Han Shu couldn't hold her anymore and she wanted to find her mother.
Gu Ning heard her voice, tried to open his eyes, looked at her, and smiled.
Han Shu placed Li Shu next to Gu Ning, which finally appeased her.
In this way, Li Shu sat next to her mother and entered the ward together.
Liu Yin was already prepared here, and when she saw Gu Ning's bed coming over, she came forward.
He whispered a few words to Gu Ning and escorted her into the ward.
When moving the bed, Li Xuewu picked up Gu Ning by himself, while Li Xue, Ji Yuxiu and others held up his head and feet.
Two nurses sorted out the urine bags and monitoring equipment, and reminded the family members to keep the care clean.
Liu Yin brought a basin of warm water and wet a towel, then drove Li Xuewu out and helped Gu Ning clean up with Han Shu.
Li Xuewu stood at the door, looking at the various life events under the lights in the corridor, and he finally felt relieved.
-
"Congratulations, Deputy Director Li"
"Deputy Director Li, remember to have a banquet."
……
Thursday went on as usual, but the news that he had a son spread like wildfire.
I don’t know how these people got the news and how they spread it to everyone.
Anyway, anyone who sees him will congratulate him.
Li Xuewu responded with a smile and arranged for Peng Xiaoli to distribute wedding candies to each department.
A lot of wedding candies were prepared, including ones for the hospital, friends, relatives, units, etc.
The thank-you gift to the hospital was different from the one given to the sister-in-law because Gu Ning was an employee of the hospital.
Especially due to one's status, it is not appropriate to give gifts in person, let alone expensive gifts.
As a family member, Li Xuewu sent wedding candies to Gu Ning's department and also gave thank-you gifts to the three directors.
Just stop when it’s enough, as long as the consideration is there.
The distribution to the unit was more direct. Peng Xiaoli and Han Jiankun carried the boxes and distributed them to everyone.
There isn’t much wedding candy, but it’s a token of my thoughtfulness.
They said they wanted him to prepare a banquet, but everyone knew that Li Xuewu would not entertain them.
Unlike ordinary cadres, Li Xuewu's age and status advantages meant that his entertainment would be limited to weddings in his life.
If you don't accept gifts or money, but even give out wedding candies, how can you not get the other party's blessings?
As long as the mother and child are safe, Li Xuewu really doesn't care about the hustle and bustle, especially because he is afraid of causing trouble to others.
But you can’t avoid the ways of the world. Last night I discussed with my mother who to notify.
Gu Ning is still in the hospital, so only the closest relatives can be notified.
The Gu family has direct relatives in the capital, but few of them are close to Gu Ning.
However, Li Xuewu made all the phone calls he needed to notify, and also explained that his mother-in-law was on a flight on the 20th.
I told them that mother and child were safe, as well as Gu Ning's condition and my mother-in-law's situation, and told them very directly that they could come after the 20th if they wanted to.
With my mother-in-law around, it would be convenient to entertain them, and it would also give Gu Ning and the children some time to recuperate.
The baby was brought back last night. The doctor only said that the jaundice was a little high, but everything else was normal.
In fact, it is normal for jaundice to be high. As long as the nutrition is good, this indicator will be high.
Generally, things will return to normal within ten to fifteen days, which may be earlier or later.
The solution is to use a heating lamp, but since the doctor didn't ask for it, I naturally won't do that.
Gu Ning went to the fields in the middle of the night and felt more energetic after a long sleep.
Li Xuewu also stayed with her until sleep again before returning home.
Li Xuewu has to take care of household matters and work matters. After having a child, he becomes even busier.
"Hey, learn martial arts"
During lunch, Jing Yunong stopped him and reminded him: "There was a call from Yingcheng saying that the shipbuilding equipment has arrived at the port."
"The batch purchased from Hong Kong City?"
Li Xuewu held the lunch box and nodded, saying: "Chief Engineer Xia is in Gangcheng. I will contact him to go to Yingcheng, and I have to say hello to Tianjin."
"It should be so, especially the Italian businessmen."
Jing Yunong reminded him: "When cooperating with other brother units, we have to pay attention to details, let alone cooperating with foreign businessmen."
She nodded to Li Xuewu, indicating that they should go upstairs together, and talked about the tour group staying at the International Hotel.
Gu Weijie and she have been in contact with each other all the time, discussing one project at a time and meeting one foreign businessman at a time.
The two classification methods have different topics, directions, and methods of conversation and discussion.
She was having a hard time handling the negotiations for more than a dozen projects at the same time, so she talked to Li Xuewu about it, hoping to get his support.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to congratulate you."
After going up to the second floor, Jing Yunong looked at him with a smile and said, "I heard that you are a father now, right? Is it stressful?"
“You’re the one who puts the pressure on me.”
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "If you say it's big, it's big. If you say it's not big, it's not big."
He pointed to the private room and said, "How about you find someone else so I can have more time to take care of the family?"
"I won't give you the chance to ruin your privacy!"
Jing Yunong smiled and said: "You are still young, you will experience such excitement many times in the future."
"Not necessarily~"
Li Xuewu said helplessly: "My husband and I are ready to respond to the call and just have this one child."
"Family planning? You're really good at it."
Jing Yunong looked at him with amusement and said, "You don't want to improve everything, but you have to restrain yourself even when it comes to having children, right?"
"Just kidding, I have to respect my lover's opinion"
Li Xuewu waited until she sat down before sitting down and explained: "She also has her own career, and she can't be delayed because of the child."
"I'm a man. I've gotten enough. I always have to think about her."
"Okay, good man."
Jing Yunong nodded and said, "Is your wife a doctor? I seem to have heard you say that."
“I never told you that”
Li Xuewu looked at her and said with a smile, "It's the doctor, in the surgery department of the hospital right in front of our house."
“Good career, respected”
Jing Yunong nodded and said, "I also wanted to be a doctor when I was in school, but I didn't have the conditions."
“So you chose economics?”
Li Xuewu knew that she attended a top school and that she might be in Versailles right now.
Jing Yunong looked at him and said, "At that time, it was not possible to study whatever career you wanted to do."
She said with some regret: "We have to learn what the organization needs."
"It's great"
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I never had the chance to show my loyalty and greatness because I never went to college."
"You're already a father, can you please tell me the truth?"
Jing Yunong was eating, glanced at him and said, "Aren't you studying at the Iron and Steel Institute, a college student now?"
"Don't be ridiculous, there's no comparison."
Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and said: "I was forced to do this, but I dare not label myself as a college student. I don't deserve it."
"real or fake?"
Jing Yunong looked at him suspiciously and said, "You're being too modest! It's a bit fake."
"Really? Be careful next time."
Li Xuewu made a joke and made her laugh, and then began to talk about negotiations with foreign businessmen.
According to his judgment, the fact that the situation with foreign tour groups has not been able to make any progress may be related to changes in the situation and concerns.
On the one hand, the other party is worried that instability in the mainland will affect cooperation.
On the other hand, there are concerns about the credibility of the steel mill and whether the cooperation can be completed.
Li Xuewu was also thinking about the first problem and discussed it with Jing Yunong. The only way to solve it is through cooperation.
It is not easy to get the other party to provide money and equipment, and it may even arouse their vigilance.
Even with the previous cooperation with Geelystar, the credibility of Italian businessmen in the field of international trade is not very high.
Especially since Andrew was running a capital business in Hong Kong, he was naturally suspected.
There is no other template to refer to, and the steel mill cannot provide evidence to prove its sincerity.
After eating and playing, foreign businessmen are getting anxious.
They want to cooperate, but are afraid to do so, and are caught in a dilemma.
With so many foreign businessmen gathered together, they are bound to discuss and communicate privately. If one of them doubts the credibility of the steel mill, others will also hesitate.
There is no other way. The steel rolling mill must solve the basis of cooperation and the basis of credit.
“The introduction of technology and equipment is necessary, there is no doubt about that”
Li Xuewu emphasized: "Without this advanced advantage, how can we complete target orders and market settings."
"If they can't provide this kind of advantage, why should we cooperate with them? We can just sell products directly!"
"You mean, replacement mortgage?"
Jing Yunong frowned and asked, "But we don't have any overseas assets, what are you going to use to exchange?"
“So we need to solve the credit problem first.”
Li Xuewu tapped his chopsticks and said, "Let's use the deposits in Oriental Times Bank as credit collateral to build a foundation of trust with the other party."
"We are currently discussing investment with the credit union. Ask them if they are willing to participate in this project."
"Please give me more details"
Jing Yunong stopped eating and looked at him and asked, "Use the credit union's funds to operate these projects?"
“Investment, funds are fluid”
Li Xuewu twirled his fingers in circles and explained: "The funds will flow to wherever I need them and do what they do for me."
"For example, does the Oriental Times Bank have our money?"
He looked at Jing Yunong with amusement and said, "Didn't they all get borrowed by Wufeng Bank?"
“But the accounts are still there.”
Li Xuewu emphasized: "Credit can also be built with investment. The loan to Wufeng Bank is an investment, and the funds of the credit union flowing into the steel mill project is also an investment."
"The accounts belong to the steel mill, and the money belongs to the credit union"
He clasped his hands together, clapped his hands and said, "With sufficient funds, the project will be successful!"
“You are playing with fire.”
Jing Yunong frowned and said: "If something happens in the port city, if the project in the mainland cannot be completed, you and I will not be able to fill the hole even if we sell everything we have."
"Don't be ridiculous. We only have one pot at home. We can't sell it for much money. Don't worry about it."
Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "First of all, the funds in Gangcheng are borrowed, and the risk is on Wufeng Bank. What are you afraid of?"
"Secondly, the projects in the mainland have foreign companies providing technology and equipment, credit unions providing funds, and steel mills providing personnel and sites. How could something go wrong?"
He knocked on the table and said, "Let's take a step back and say that even if these projects fail, what does it have to do with us?!"
"There are risks in entering the market, so be cautious when investing!"
Li Xuewu spread out his hands and said: "As for investment, who stipulates that it must be a guaranteed profit without loss? That is not called investment, that is called robbery."
"..."
Jing Yunong looked at him speechlessly and asked, "Were you so shameless before?"
"No, it's not"
Li Xuewu took a bite of his meal and said, "Since I met you..."
"roll!"
Jing Yunong said something to him, then knocked on the table and asked, "What is the method of cooperation?"
She asked, "Replicate the shipyard model? Foreign investors won't recognize it, right?"
"Take a comprehensive look and treat them differently"
Li Xuewu said seriously: "The projects are different, the foreign investors are different, and the basis for negotiation is also different."
"Even the technical equipment that the other party can provide, as well as the difference in order volume, will affect the determination of the mode of cooperation."
He thought for a while and said, "Let me give you a suggestion. You should have a frank talk with these foreign businessmen."
"Just put our actual situation out there and tell them clearly that we need to maintain our leading edge in technology and equipment, otherwise there is no room for negotiation."
"In addition, the mainland's attitude towards production has always been consistent, and its productivity and creativity are not inferior to those of foreign countries. This is our advantage."
“But this is also their advantage!”
Li Xuewu reminded: "With this point as the core, we have the labor force and they have the cost advantage, only cooperation can lead to win-win results."
“It’s not easy~”
Jing Yunong picked up the chopsticks, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Are you really not going to join the negotiation team?"
"Besides, I'm not much more relaxed than you."
Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and said: "It has nothing to do with family. I devote all my working time to the steel mill."
"United Trading will complete the last batch of large procurement and sales contracts after the new year, and I am still contacting our partners."
“Isn’t it financial pressure?”
Jing Yunong asked: "Without a source of funds for the project, are we going to squeeze money out of the trade project?"
“You did think about it, but a trade project can’t produce milk, it’s a bull.”
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "You can only cultivate the land. If you want to squeeze, you can only..."
"Get lost! You are such a mean person!"
Jing Yunong pushed the lunch box in his hand and said, "I'm eating!"
-
The day my mother-in-law came back, my father Li Shun also came back.
The hospital ward was too small to accommodate so many people, so they had to go to Li Xuewu’s home.
In the past two days, only family relatives came to the hospital to visit, and those from Jicheng and Yangcheng, which were farther away, called back.
The reason why my second and third uncles were able to come back last year was because of Li Xuewu’s marriage. They will definitely not be back for the Chinese New Year.
Second Aunt Jicheng said that she would come back in a few days to see the old lady and the children.
Yes, the fourth generation of the Li family has to be described as "they" every month, Li Tang, Li Ning.
This name was secretly decided by Li Xuewu and Gu Ning a long time ago.
Take one from each of the parents' names, because there might really be only one child in their family.
Li Shun came down the mountain happily and rushed straight to the hospital. He had planned to name his grandson, but he didn't expect to be late again.
The last time the eldest son gave birth, when he came down from the mountain, Li Xuewen took the initiative to decide on a name for the baby. What did the second son, Li Xuewu, say?
My goodness, when his second son had a child, he encountered the same routine again.
Listening to Gu Ning's explanation, Li Shun glared at his son, but he had to nod in agreement to his daughter-in-law, saying that the name was a good one.
There is just one bad thing - it wasn't him who gave the name!
Although Li Shun did not say anything about his obsession with naming his eldest grandson, his attitude towards Li Xuewu could be seen.
But what could he say in front of his in-laws? He could only turn around and find time to deal with his son.
When relatives from the Gu family came, they basically just took a look, chatted for a few minutes, and then went to sit at the house across the street.
Ding Fengxia arrived in Beijing in the morning. She visited her daughter and dealt with relatives without having to leave the house.
The older generation of the Li family is small, so not many relatives came, but Li Xuewu's godmother, Wang Shuhua, came.
Not to mention their relationship with the Li family, just out of Li Xuewu's respect and concern for them, they have to come and visit.
Wang Shuhua was very close to Gu Ning and the child, even though Gu Ning didn't see her very often.
She truly cared about Li Xuewu, and was extremely happy that her godson had a child.
When they met Ding Fengxia, they chatted for a few minutes and then got to know each other.
In fact, we are very familiar with it. On paper, we all enter the city at the same time and there are only a few teams.
When Li Xuewu got off work, there were guests at home. His mother and mother-in-law were at home, entertaining relatives from both sides.
He greeted his relatives with a smile. He knew all of these people, and they also knew Li Xuewu.
He was the one who took care of all the relatives' relationships and social etiquette this year. They were not familiar with Gu Ning, but they knew the son-in-law of the Gu family.
After seeing the guests off, the house finally calmed down and the family sat together and talked about their life after separation.
Ding Fengxia talked about her life in Jinling, mentioned that her eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant, and expressed her special gratitude to her relative Li Shunlai.
Liu Yin introduced the family situation, talked about her children's current situation, and mainly talked about Li Xuewu and his wife.
Qin Jingru prepared a large table of food and also prepared a special portion for Gu Ning.
Li Xuewu asked his parents, mother-in-law and others to eat first, while he carried the lunch box to the hospital.
The person taking care of Gu Ning in the hospital is Han Shu. Her shift now has a high degree of freedom, time, and convenience.
When Li Xuewu entered the room, she was holding her child and coaxing him to sleep, while Gu Ning was lying on the bed receiving an IV drip.
"Teacher, thank you for your hard work~"
"If it's not hard, why should I be hard?"
Han Shu smiled and placed the sleeping child in the crib.
"Look how cute this little guy is sleeping"
She gestured to Li Xuewu and asked, "Can you tell who he looks like?"
“How can you tell?”
Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, it's hard to tell in front of the mirror, but I have to say that he would be handsome only if he looked like me."
"Oops~"
Han Shu smiled and said, "You are so confident."
"Hehe, please come over and have dinner."
Li Xuewu put the thermos in his hand on the bedside table and said to Han Shu, "They are all waiting for you."
"Why are you waiting for me? We are all family."
Han Shu looked at the child and said, "Let me feed Xiao Ning. You go back to eat and come back to take over for me later."
"Goodbye, I'm coming"
Li Xuewu declined, saying: "Don't come over after you finish your meal. Take a rest for a while. I have talked to Jiankun and asked him to take you and Mengyuan back."
"That's fine."
Han Shu smiled at Gu Ning, then asked Li Xuewu, "Is that really possible?"
"Do not worry"
Li Xuewu said confidently: "I can still do this."
After seeing Han Shu off, he returned to the ward, checked on the sleeping child, then opened the thermos bucket and said to Gu Ning, "Red bean and barley porridge, not greasy at all."
"Well, have you eaten?"
Gu Ning tilted his head slightly to look at him and said, "You came here after get off work?"
"Take a break with your family"
Li Xuewu smiled, served the hot porridge and said: "Job's tears can reduce swelling and dampness, relieve postpartum edema, red beans can relieve postpartum fatigue and relieve the pain of lovesickness."
He fed Gu Ning and said, "You've been missing me all day, right?"
