Siheyuan diet for men and women

Chapter 949: Being unkind to others
Lou Ting was somewhat afraid of Li Xuewu. This could be seen from the fact that he was hiding behind Tan Yali and watching secretly, not daring to come close.

But his identity as a "civilized man" did not allow him to show his cowardly side, so he pursed his lips tightly, and even when he was nibbling on the bun in his hand, his face was still tense.

Li Xuewu stopped teasing him and ate steamed buns and rice porridge with Lou Yu, chatting about their recent busyness. As they talked, Tan Yali listened while serving the children.

Lou Yu did not show any emotion in his words. Compared with the unpleasantness of their last meeting, he felt somewhat relieved this time.

Maybe the obsession in my heart was shattered by the girl with a crooked elbow. The palms and backs of my hands are made of flesh, and the die is cast.

He was in the mainland, so even if he wanted to use his father's status to reconcile the conflict between his children, he was powerless to do anything.

He had also figured it out during this period of time. From the moment he chose his daughter as the balance point between himself and Li Xuewu, the power of the family had already changed, and the scepter was handed to his daughter by him personally.

It’s just that he feels unhappy in his heart, he desires for power and money, and he is obsessed with life and career.

Or perhaps it was the anticipation of seeing his wife and children in Hong Kong City, and the guilt he felt as a father, that made him choose to take another risk.

Even if he lost, at most he could die to atone for his crime, thereby protecting his daughter and his family property.

However, he never expected that Li Xuewu did not take action, but his daughter solved the matter personally.

The appearance of Li Xuewu and the arrival of Changsun today just show that the matter has been settled and ends here.

Coupled with Tan Yali's meticulous care for him and her tolerance and patience towards her eldest grandson, he understood that knowing when to stop was the wise choice.

He was originally scheduled to be in charge of the club and to be in contact with Hong Kong City as information support, but now he basically has nothing to do.

The daughter sent her eldest grandson back home not only for Li Xuewu to see, but also for him to see: from now on, just focus on educating the eldest grandson and don't worry about other things.

"Children are young, they still need to learn"

Li Xuewu ate quickly, put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, glanced at the child who was peeking at him, and said to the two of them: "Let's go to the mountains. We need to learn culture and principles. Although the port city is right at our doorstep, we have no roots after all."

As he spoke, he glanced at the eavesdropping child and said, "If your feet don't touch the ground, you will float. If you don't touch the ground, you will have no spiritual energy, right?"

The response was Lou Yu's silence and Tan Yali's worried and concerned expression.

"Life in the city is better after all..."

“Let’s go to the mountains.”

Tan Yali had just said half of her words when Lou Yu had already made the decision.

“I don’t want to go to the mountains!”

"I don't want to be a bandit!"

After hearing this, Lou Ting finally couldn't bear it anymore. She threw the bun in her hand and hid in the kang crying.

He looked at Li Xuewu with horror in his eyes, and was sure that this man was the bandit leader his grandmother had mentioned!

Otherwise, why would he keep pulling me up the mountain? Looking at his appearance, I know that he wants to become a bandit!

"I don't want to be a little bandit!"

"I do not want"

"Woo~"

Lou Ting was really scared, especially when he was crying and shouting, his eyes were fixed on the bad guy.

Look, the bad guy clearly knows that I'm crying, but he still looks at me with evil eyes and a smirk!

"Woooooo~"

"What is this kid talking about~"

Tan Yali was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and tried to hold Lou Ting's hand, but he dodged her, as if he was afraid of being sold out by this grandma.

Lou Yu put down his chopsticks and didn't look amused at all when he heard his grandson's misunderstanding. Instead, he sighed.

He was also hesitant about Li Xuewu's suggestion, as children's education is crucial to a family.

When he was a child, his father attached great importance to his education and invited famous teachers to teach him by example.

Thinking of his father, looking at his grandson, he thought of himself. Judging from the past and the current situation, he was not a good father.

At least much worse than his own father.

Be it the general environment or the changes of the times, it was ultimately his own fault that he did not do well enough, leading to his sons being neglected and neglected, having wealth but no moral integrity, and bringing trouble upon himself.

His daughter gave him a chance to make up for his mistake, which was to educate his eldest grandson well and rebuild the pillar of the family.

He didn't even know how long his body could hold on, so he waited here for so many days just to meet Li Xuewu, but now that he was better, he still had concerns in his heart.

"Pack up today and leave tomorrow"

Lou Yu straightened up, looked at his wife, nodded slowly and said: "Don't spoil him, or he will have no buns to eat in the future."

"I don't want to~! I want to go home~ um~ I want to go home~ I don't want to..."

Lou Ting kept hiding in the corner, crying and shouting louder and louder, which made Tan Yali feel a little sorry for him.

"How about...slow down a little bit?"

Although she said this to her husband, she looked at Li Xuewu, wanting to seek his opinion.

Li Xuewu didn't care much about it. He was already in the capital, so why should he be afraid of them making trouble?

There was no need for him to explain in detail the interests involved, let alone scare them, because Lou Yu understood it better than anyone else.

Even an adult from Hong Kong City couldn't guarantee to keep his mouth shut, let alone a child.

Especially Lou Ting’s identity, this is a big problem. Once it is investigated, it will be a disaster.

"Brother Wu?"

"Well, come in"

As they were talking, someone greeted them at the door. It was Zhou Xiaobai's voice.

After hearing Li Xuewu's response, she lifted the door curtain and walked in.

"Hello Mr. Lou, hello Auntie"

Zhou Xiaobai first greeted him with a smile, then gestured to Li Xuewu and said, "Someone from the recycling station came and said they want to talk to you about something."

"Uh-huh"

Li Xuewu responded and stood up and said to Lou Yu and the others: "You prepare first. If you need anything, tell Yu Li and let her arrange it."

As he spoke, he took the coat handed to him by Zhou Xiaobai and put it on, then took the hat in his hand, looked at the child who had stopped crying, smiled, and walked out.

Lou Yu nodded and told him to go and do his work, telling him not to worry about this. Tan Yali then sent Li Xuewu and the other person out.

Zhou Xiaobai was smart. When he saw Tan Yali following out, he went to the gate of the courtyard and waited first.

"Learning martial arts..."

Tan Yali called Li Xuewu, but when she faced this son-in-law, she didn't know what to say.

Li Xuewu understood what she meant, smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, Mom, don't worry, everything is fine."

"I just feel sorry for you"

Tan Yali wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes somewhat sadly, took a deep breath, and said: "For Xiao'e's sake, please be more patient."

"Isn't that unorthodox?"

Li Xuewu pointed to the main room and said, "Come on, don't think too much about it. Go back to the room. It's very cold."

Tan Yali watched Li Xuewu leave the hospital before she wiped away her tears and walked back.

These things her daughter did made her feel both comfortable and worried, but the variables in their family life were decided by her brother-in-law.

In order to relieve the resentment that had accumulated in her heart for so many years, but unable to bear to see her husband die of depression, she had no choice but to take the initiative to ease the relationship between her children and her husband.

Doing so seemed to reject the good intentions of the two children, but he was also afraid that Li Xuewu would think too much.

There is no balance in life, let alone fairness, there is only the pursuit of peace.
-
Zhou Xiaobai walked beside Li Xuewu, secretly glanced at Li Xuewu, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. From her synchronized footsteps, it could be seen that she was in a very happy mood.

Li Xuewu turned his head and glanced at her, chuckled and asked, "What are you laughing at? What's the happy news?"

"No~"

Zhou Xiaobai pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, and said: "I am usually like this~"

Li Xuewu looked at her and said, "Are you dating?"

"What!"

Zhou Xiaobai's face changed when he was teased by him, and then he said unhappily: "I didn't!"

"Okay~Okay~Okay~"

Li Xuewu saw that she was really anxious, and quickly comforted her: "I was just teasing you, why are you taking it so seriously?"

“I don’t like this kind of joke”

Zhou Xiaobai glanced at Li Xuewu, then lowered his head and walked forward, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Li Xuewu followed behind helplessly, watching her throwing tantrums, which was similar to Li Xue.

The management office was in a meeting and Yu Li didn't have time to receive him, so it was Shen Guodong who came to see him.

In Yu Li's office, Li Xuewu had just sat down when Zhou Xiaobai made a cup of tea and brought it to him. Without even noticing his thanks, she left angrily.

Shen Guodong didn't understand what was going on. He stared blankly at the door, then turned back to look at Brother Wu with disbelief in his eyes.

He is not an ignorant boy, he knows a lot about the love affairs between men and women, he has seen many romantic affairs of Brother Wu, so he was so surprised because he thought... How could he do that to such a young child?
"What are you thinking about!"

Li Xuewu picked up two cigarettes, and noticed that Shen Guodong's eyes were not right, so he threw one to him speechlessly.

Shen Guodong smiled awkwardly. He knew that he couldn't hide the truth on his face and Brother Wu saw through it.

"It's too small~"

"What's small?"

Li Xuewu looked at him and said, "She's wearing a cotton jacket, it just doesn't show her figure~"

"Besides, you are so bold, aren't you afraid that Xiaoyan will punish you?"

"No, I didn't say that!"

Shen Guodong twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at Wu Ge speechlessly, and said: "I'm talking about age. She's only in her teens. You're... that... not appropriate, right?"

"Nonsense!"

Li Xuewu lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes and looked at him, saying: "Your brother Wu is incorruptible and a very upright person. Do you think I am that kind of person..."

"Bang~!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the office door was pushed open, scaring the two of them.

Zhou Xiaobai, who had just left, came back in a hurry, ignoring the stunned Shen Guodong, walked in front of Li Xuewu, bent down, hugged his head and kissed him.

Li Xuewu and Shen Guodong had the same reaction, they both widened their eyes at the same time, full of surprise.

Zhou Xiaobai used up all his courage and oxygen until he couldn't breathe anymore, and then he let go of Li Xuewu.

She stood up, looked at Li Xuewu stubbornly, took a few breaths, said nothing, then turned and walked outside.

When the sound of the door closing was heard, the two people in the room looked at each other. Shen Guodong looked at Li Xuewu with a playful look, but Li Xuewu had an expression that said, "I'm wronged."

"Brother Wu... ahem... too small"

"Get out! I'm innocent!"

Li Xuewu glared at her and cursed, "Didn't you see her molesting me? Why didn't you stop her?"

"You're talking about me?~"

Shen Guodong curled his lips and said, "Don't be guilty of saying this. Three or five big men can't get close to you in terms of force. Now you want me to stop a girl?"

"Of course I can stop her!"

Li Xuewu raised the cigarette in his hand and said, "But this is not a restriction because of the cigarette in my hand. Besides, she locked my head from the beginning, so I was passive."

"Yes, passive... indeed."

Shen Guodong couldn't argue with him, so he nodded and said seriously: "You were passive for three minutes, and you didn't have any ability to fight back. I can testify to that!"

"Go! Stop talking outside!"

Li Xuewu wiped his lips and reminded: "The little girl doesn't know anything, and young people are impulsive. Don't ruin other people's innocence."

"..."

Of course Shen Guodong could tell that it was the girl who was after Brother Wu, but he could also tell that Brother Wu did not refuse.

He knew too well how Brother Wu treated young girls. He also knew the three no principles, but he had never put them into practice.

He is the only one here today, otherwise something must have happened.

"Someone came to our house last night."

Shen Guodong quickly got down to business and left as soon as he was done to avoid seeing anything he shouldn't see.

"It's the invitation that Brother Biao's father-in-law personally brought someone to deliver, saying that he wants to invite you to dinner."

"Mr. Mai? Please treat me to a meal?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, flicked the ash off his cigarette with his right hand, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lao Biaozi's father-in-law and mother-in-law both live here. They personally brought people to the courtyard to deliver invitations. Are they having fun?

“I found it through Mr. Mai.”

Shen Guodong said cautiously: "A jade ornament was sent along with the invitation. Second Master took a look and found it to be a good thing."

"Did you leave anything behind?"

Li Xuewu took a puff of his cigarette, squinted his eyes slightly, and thought about the problem.

Shen Guodong shook his head slightly and said, "I didn't leave anything behind, I only accepted the note. Mr. Mai explained it and made an appointment to wait for you here this morning."

As he spoke, he handed the post in his hand to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu took it and opened it, and immediately understood who the post belonged to.

Shen Guodong stood aside and asked hesitantly: "Brother Wu, who is this Mr. Ma...?"

"Um"

Li Xuewu confirmed Shen Guodong's guess, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said with drooping eyelids: "He came to find me."

“The person should be in the backyard.”

Shen Guodong asked softly: "Do you want me to...?"

“Let’s see.”

Li Xuewu did not refuse the other party's request outright. He was not concerned about the jade ornaments, but about Mr. Mai who was temporarily staying here.

Having met them a few times, I know their personalities very well. They won't easily agree to someone else's request on their behalf. There must be some unavoidable personal relationships involved.

When it comes to him, he has to give face to Lao Biaozi and also consider the affection of the couple for teaching Tong Huimei carefully.

After hearing Li Xuewu's agreement to meet, Shen Guodong explained softly, "Brother Biao called back specially. You don't have to care about his father-in-law's face..."

"Let him mind his own business~"

Li Xuewu knew that it must be Mr. Mai who had passed the message to Biaozi, and things had to be done between brothers.

He put out the cigarette in his hand, glanced out the window and said, "Go and ask Mr. Mai and the others to come over. There's no need to have dinner."

“Not real food”

Shen Guodong reminded Li Xuewu, and when he saw Brother Wu looking at him, he pursed his lips and said, "You'll know in a while."

Watching Shen Guodong walk out, Li Xuewu raised his head slightly. He had no idea what this kid was talking about. It was completely irrelevant.

He picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then felt that it didn't taste right, so he raised his hand and wiped his mouth again.

When Li Xuewu saw a few dark red spots on his hands, he knew that he was bleeding, otherwise why would it hurt so much.

Thinking of the girl's initiative just now, he muttered to himself: "Just bite it, why put so much effort into it, and bite the tongue!"

This girl is not as good as a young woman...
-
If you say it’s not real food, then it’s really not!
The Mai Xiaotian couple sat on the sofa with awkward expressions, lowering their heads slightly, avoiding Li Xuewu's gaze.

The girl sitting on the armchair next to them was taking out the "dishes" one by one from the box she brought.

Jade cabbage, agate pork belly, ivory radish, crystal fish, pearl eggs...

Li Xuewu sat behind his desk and watched her place plates on the coffee table. His initial confusion and surprise were now hidden in his eyes.

Mai Xiaotian had just introduced him to the girl who came with him. Her surname was Mei and her name was Mei Xiaohong. She was Yu Lanfang's stepsister.

This relationship was considered normal in the 1980s, closer than friends, but it became unserious after that.

Brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law and so on, just like the titles such as Miss, Princess, and Beauty, have become slaves of the economy.

Of course, the complex economy has affected relationships and has not spared the industrial sector. Words like technician and pile driver have also become corrupted.

Miss Mei arranged the box of precious vegetables given by her adoptive father, and then looked at Li Xuewu.

"Director Li, my adoptive father is ill and cannot come to visit, so he asked me to express his apologies on his behalf."

Mei Xiaohong bowed slightly, then raised her head and pointed to the ornaments on the table and explained, "My godfather asked me to bring these here to ask for your help..."

"You are……?"

Li Xuewu listened to the general idea and before she finished, he gestured to her and asked, "Your last name is Mei, so Mr. Mei is your...?"

"Director Li"

Mai Xiaotian took over the conversation with a dry laugh and took the initiative to explain: "I studied opera with Mr. Mei, so I was his student. Xiaohong is Mr. Mei's eldest daughter, so she is also my junior sister."

"excuse me"

Mei Xiaohong was very well-educated. After Mai Xiaotian had explained, she bowed slightly to Li Xuewu.

Then he said to Mai Xiaotian: "My father was still thinking about you before he died. Don't underestimate yourself. You are my senior brother."

Mai Xiaotian abides by the old etiquette. He is being vague about the relationship not because he is afraid of taking responsibility, but because he is afraid of offending the master-disciple relationship.

Inheritance from a master is considered a status in the opera world, as well as a symbol of ability, a skill for making a living, and the foundation of one's life.

The fundamental reason why the little black fat man caused so many troubles in later generations was probably due to the influence of this kind of relationship in the changing times.

Students who have learned opera are not considered apprentices, and they cannot say that they are the teacher's disciples or successors.

It’s not like in later generations, where people would call even the most unrelated people mentors. People at that time had to have some dignity.

Mai Xiaotian took the initiative to clarify the relationship to explain to Li Xuewu and also to make things convenient for Mei Xiaohong.

Mei Xiaohong emphasized the master-disciple relationship at this moment. On the one hand, she was grateful to the eldest senior brother for his kindness and helping her, and on the other hand, it was true.

My father taught many apprentices in his life and also had many students come to him for advice, but he was the only one who left a deep impression on Mai Xiaotian, who was honest and dedicated to his art.

Li Xuewu understood the relationship between the people in the room. He raised his hand and pointed at the decorations on the table and asked, "Mr. Ma, are you treating me to a meal?"

"I'm really sorry, but if there is a way, I would never dare to bother you."

Mei Xiaohong said very politely: "My adoptive father is in poor health, and I was even more worried when I heard about my adoptive brother Yu Lanfang."

At this point, she glanced at the Mai Xiaotian couple and explained: "Knowing that you have taken over this case as an expert, I have also made inquiries from many sources and finally came to Brother Xiaotian for help."

"Director Li, this case...?"

Mai Xiaotian was in a very awkward situation, fearing that he would run into a wall with Li Xuewu, so he contacted his son-in-law in advance before visiting him.

According to what the son-in-law said, he was doing his best and leaving the rest to fate, fulfilling the friendship between his master and his disciples.

"Yu Lanfang and I are an old acquaintance. I know him a little bit. He definitely doesn't have the guts to cheat people out of money and kill them."

"do not talk like that"

Hu Huilan touched her husband, gave him a look, then took Mei Xiaohong's hand and explained to Li Xuewu: "We know each other, but we didn't know about the conflict between Yu Lanfang and her husband."

"Xiaohong is not here to prove anything today, nor to embarrass you."

She said sincerely: "I just heard that you were involved in this case, and I wanted to be mentally prepared and on guard against Mr. Ma."

Mei Xiaohong is in her early twenties and has seen many cadres, including more senior ones, along with her father.

I came to ask for help from a director today. I have no choice but to do so. My previous status and honor collapsed this year and became a burden.

Hu Huilan spoke more tactfully, but that was also the purpose of her visit. If she were to really speak, she didn't know if she would offend anyone.

So when my sister-in-law reminded me, I quickly nodded to show my agreement.

Li Xuewu looked at the three people, nodded slowly, and said: "Yes, I took the case, but I didn't participate much."

"I have seen Yu Lanfang twice. She is in good physical and mental condition. You can rest assured about that."

"Thank goodness~"

Mei Xiaohong let out a long sigh, the tense expression on her face finally relaxed a little, and she couldn't help but sigh.

Mai Xiaotian could tell that Li Xuewu had something else in mind. He did not rush to relax like Mei Xiaohong, but asked softly, "Then...his problem?"

When he asked this, Mei Xiaohong, who had just relaxed, became nervous again. She held Hu Huilan's hand tightly and looked at Li Xuewu.

“This is not easy to say.”

Li Xuewu knocked on the table with the lighter in his hand and explained: "The case needs to be kept confidential. I can't say anything related to the case here."

After saying that, he waved his hand again to stop Mei Xiaohong who was about to speak, and said: "The complexity of this case is beyond your imagination. I can only ask you about his situation now."

"Thank you, thank you Director Li!"

Mei Xiaohong didn't hear the exact words, but when she saw Li Xuewu really helping by getting the phone, she kept thanking him.

"Help me get a branch office, East City"

"I'm Li Xuewu, looking for the criminal..."

The call was made directly to the head of the criminal team, and not to Lai Shanchuan.

The case has not been concluded and is still under investigation, so Li Xuewu is still the investigator.

So when Li Xuewu called to ask about the investigation status, he did not hide anything and reported the current situation.

A new clue is that the two families involved in the accident are not ordinary people. They are not rich, but their daily lives are very good.

According to the investigation, Zhao Ziliang is quite capable and generous. He has many friends, many of whom rely on him.

Whenever I have the opportunity to travel on business, I will buy some local specialties for my relatives and friends, and gradually my wallet has become fuller.

When Zhao Ziliang and Du Xiaoyan's homes were searched, no large amount of cash was found, but the furniture, electrical appliances and clothing were very complete and luxurious.

Du Xiaoyan had no idea how much her husband's income came from other than his salary. Both husband and wife were lavish spendthrifts, so they had never made a specific calculation.

Another group of investigators discovered that Zhao Ziliang was often away on business trips and had many improper behaviors in his life.

Not counting Zhang Shuqin, he also had other mistresses in various places, most of which were financial relationships.

Clues found in both parties' homes showed that Zhao Ziliang had bought many things for Zhang Shuqin in the past two years.

The joint venture factory's investigation also found that Zhao Ziliang had violated regulations in write-offs many times and many bills did not match.

This discovery did not find any evidence that Zhao Ziliang had colluded with Zhang Shuqin to commit fraud and murder, but it did uncover evidence of his embezzlement.

The head of the criminal team reported to Li Xuewu over the phone that this family's lifestyle was extravagant to a certain extent, which surprised him.

How do people of this era dress? They mostly wear two colors all year round: "black and blue" for men and "white and gray" for women.

If a girl or a boy can wear brightly colored clothes made of high-quality materials, they must be of extraordinary status.

Zhao Ziliang and his wife have clothes made of all kinds of materials, including cotton, gauze, silk, woolen, etc. They have so many clothes that their closet can’t hold them all.

According to Du Xiaoyan's neighbor, both husband and wife were very particular about clothes, and they gave away all their slightly older clothes.

Zhao Ziliang often went on business trips and was always dressed fashionably, with all kinds of leather shoes to match his clothes. The investigator said that looking at the large shoe rack, it was like being in a department store.

Du Xiaoyan has to get her hair done three times a month. She dresses no worse than her husband and looks more fashionable than a female model.

Ordinary people either cook their own meals or have their elderly parents cook for them. They hired a retired chef to help.

Other families may not eat meat once a month, but they have never lack of chicken, duck, fish, meat, fruits and vegetables, and even the chefs who cook eat them together.

When the investigator visited the old chef, he told her that the Zhao family's meals were too greasy, with meat in every meal. He had to chew a few radish strips every day when he got home to relieve the greasiness.

Li Xuewu was stunned as he listened on the phone. How rich must one be to live so freely in this era?

Speaking of being rich, Li Xuewu is considered to have some wealth. If he eats and dresses like this, he can afford it.

But he just couldn't understand this kind of lifestyle habit. How much money would he have to embezzle and how much would he have to carry back from outside to support his family?
This Zhao Ziliang is pretty good. If he were in later generations, he would be an economics talent, the grandfather of trader!

The head of the criminal team meant that the investigation was now focused on Zhao Ziliang, who was a major suspect.

And because the joint venture factory's self-inspection found that he had violated regulations, the disciplinary supervision department has now intervened.

Otherwise, why would Li Xuewu say that this case is particularly complicated? There are too many issues involved, and there are many variables, so it is really difficult to investigate.

Now the Discipline Inspection Commission is investigating Zhao Ziliang's case. The two units are working hand in hand and cooperating with each other. Their goal is to find Zhao Ziliang or determine Zhao Ziliang's criminal facts.

When Li Xuewu asked about Yu Lanfang, the head of the criminal team explained that Director Lai later communicated with Yu Lanfang and asked him if he knew Zhao Ziliang.

Yu Lanfang said she didn't know the man, but had heard of such a person and was not sure whether he had an affair with his wife.

What the head of the criminal team meant was that without confirming Zhao Ziliang's crime, Yu Lanfang still had the motive and suspicion of murder.

They also did not have the energy to investigate Yu Lanfang's alibi or the parts where the two had no intersection.

Lai Shanchuan made a desperate move and put all his energy into searching for Zhao Ziliang.

Li Xuewu understands Lai Shanchuan very well. Resources are limited and the target has already emerged. Should he keep Yu Lanfang in prison for a few more days or assign someone to help him clear the suspicion? This is a multiple-choice question that does not require much thought to answer.

Lai Shanchuan had already made his cards clear when he interrogated Yu Lanfang for the last time. If Zhao Ziliang could not be found by the end of this month, he would let him go home.

The meaning of the head of the criminal team was very clear. The case must be closed before the end of this month, even if it was in the form of a wanted warrant.

Li Xuewu put down the phone and took the initiative to say, "Criminal cases are often difficult to handle. Detention does not mean crime, it is also a form of protection," regardless of how much the three heard.

"I understand"

Mei Xiaohong and the other two were sitting quite far away and didn't hear clearly, but they could tell something from Li Xuewu's face.

"My foster father is very worried about my elder brother. I'm afraid something might happen to him, and then my foster father will..."

"Go back and wait a few days."

Li Xuewu nodded and comforted him: "He won't suffer any harm in there, no one dares to do anything wrong, don't worry."

"Thank you, thank you Director Li"

Mei Xiaohong bowed slightly, expressing her gratitude.

Li Xuewu smiled and pointed at the things on the coffee table, then gestured to Mai Xiaotian and said, "Please pack this up and take it back. I've already had breakfast and can't eat these delicacies."

"Director Li"

Mei Xiaohong insisted: "My godfather has said before that he can't keep these things and he doesn't want them anymore. I'm giving them to you just to express my gratitude, there's no other meaning."

“Then I can’t have it either.”

Li Xuewu waved his hand, pointed to Mai Xiaotian and said, "I won't ask you about any work discipline. Mr. Mai is my brother's father-in-law, and we are really relatives. If he accepts me, I will be ashamed to be a human being."

"This……"

Mei Xiaohong looked at her senior brother anxiously, wanting to ask him for help, as these things must not be taken back.

Not being able to keep the money is one thing, but when you ask someone to do something for you, you can’t take it back once you’ve given it away, otherwise things will become difficult.

Mai Xiaotian saw that Li Xuewu really didn't want it, and Mei Xiaohong didn't want to take it back, so he was caught in the middle and felt very embarrassed.

But his wife Hu Huilan was smart. She took Mei Xiaohong's hand, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Since Director Li is having trouble, these things must not cause you any trouble."

"Sister-in-law~..."

Mei Xiaohong became anxious when she heard her say that, but as soon as she opened her mouth to speak, Hu Huilan interrupted her by pinching her hand.

“We’ve been living in this club for a while”

Hu Huilan smiled and said, "I heard that a literature and art museum is going to be built in the yard next to ours, right, Director Li, you are so righteous."

She first praised Li Xuewu, then pointed to the precious jade on the table and said, "Mr. Ma is the leader of the opera industry. He should contribute to the literary and artistic world."

Mei Xiaohong also understood the meaning of her words, and now she took the initiative to continue the conversation and said: "Yes, Director Li, it is my adoptive father's kind gesture, I hope you won't refuse it."

"Haha, auntie, you are making things difficult for me."

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Our club is an internal club of a collective nature. How can we accept gifts from Mr. Ma?"

"I understand all this, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Hu Huilan said apologetically: "Let's satisfy Xiaohong's heart and Mr. Ma's conscience."

"so……"

Seeing that Li Xuewu was about to refuse, Mai Xiaotian suddenly said, "Mr. Ma is in poor health and can no longer perform on stage, but he can still teach students."

He glanced at his wife and said, "Girls Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao are both talented people. They have no master to inherit their skills, so it is convenient for them to be introduced to Mr. Ma."

Mei Xiaohong didn't know what her senior brother was talking about, but she could tell that the two girls he was talking about seemed to have something to do with Director Li.

Sure enough, she found that after her senior brother said this, Director Li no longer insisted.

"Brother, Director Li, my adoptive father is in poor health. Let me go back and discuss it with you before making a decision."

Mei Xiaohong was a cautious girl. She did not dare to make decisions for her adoptive father in public, so she took the initiative to explain and agreed to the conditions.

Mai Xiaotian held down the ornaments on the table and quietly explained to Mei Xiaohong a few words about the situation between Tong Huimei and him, also hinting at the importance of this relationship.

Mei Xiaohong took it very seriously and said that she would go to her adoptive father as soon as she got home and give an answer as soon as possible.

Li Xuewu was about to ask her to take the things back first, but Mei Xiaohong firmly refused and stood up to leave.

Seeing Li Xuewu's signal, Mai Xiaotian pulled Mei Xiaohong and called Wang Xiaoqin and Wei Qing who were exercising in the next yard. They prepared the donation certificate and the matter was settled.

Mr. and Mrs. Mai Xiaotian were worried about what might happen, and were also afraid that Mei Xiaohong wouldn't be able to explain herself clearly, so they said a few words to Li Xuewu and went with her to visit Mr. Ma.

Li Xuewu didn't care much about those stones. He was not as amazed as Wang Xiaoqin and the others. Instead, he was quite surprised by the opportunity of Tong Huimei and the others.

If they could become Mr. Ma's disciples, it would be like having a foothold for the two of them who were like rootless duckweed.

Mr. Ma's last disciple will close a door by himself. Given Mr. Ma's physical condition and the current situation, this door can definitely be closed tightly.

"What a fucking idiot!"

"Fuck you, if I see him again, I'll kill him!"

"That's enough~"

Li Yuanchao listened to the endless chattering around him and reminded him irritably: "They're taking pictures over there, don't embarrass yourself."

“This is all the face we have left.”

Zhang Haiyang spat, picked up five bricks, and walked away swearing, "I don't know where you met this bastard. He even deceived his own people!"

"Okay, okay, I guess I met the wrong person, okay~"

Li Yuanchao also moved five bricks, walked beside him, and explained: "This bastard must have committed a crime here and was unwilling to accept it, so he dragged us into it."

"I told you that they looked lost the last time I saw them at the door. It turns out they are like this!"

"It's not just us!"

Zhang Haiyang gestured to the hundreds of people around him and said, "Those bastards are spreading the word about the steel mill's great reception program, with movies, free meals, and even seminars with the dance troupe. They're really lying a lot."

"Just wait and see. Once we complete our mission, we'll kill them as soon as we get out of this door!"

"Even if we don't take action, these people won't let them off easily!"

It's no wonder that Zhong Yuemin was such a cunning guy. The three of them tasted the sweetness of deceiving people and started to tell people everywhere how they had fun in the steel rolling mill and publicize their experience in reform.

These little bastards get together just to brag to each other, and they can exaggerate even one point to make it a hundred points.

The first ones to believe it were Li Yuanchao and his group. After returning, they also made an appointment with Zhang Haiyang and his group. This is called sharing the blessing.

But I never expected that instead of enjoying the blessing, I had to work so hard.

There was no other way. They were all promising young people. The cadres in the reception office were more experienced this time and they also arranged an interview with the radio station.

It is said that the work is over and representatives must be selected to be interviewed, and the interview report must be written and published in the newspaper.

How could these young people bear this kind of stimulation? They were almost urinating blood from exhaustion.

The propaganda officers were all holding cameras, and they didn't even change the film, they just kept taking pictures.

Who knows whether they are really taking pictures or just fooling them, but anyway, the camera is following them, so they have to do their best.

Zhang Haiyang kept complaining and asking Li Yuanchao whether he was fulfilled or not.

Li Yuanchao also looked like he had lost all hope in life and said that he would settle the score with Zhong Yuemin when he returned.

After the brick-moving activity ended, they didn't expect to actually be waiting for the dance troupe's symposium.

Wow, the little chickens that had been caught in the rain were full of energy again, and the young men were like fighting cocks.

Zhang Haiyang looked at the girls and whispered to Li Yuanchao, "It's so beautiful!"

Li Yuanchao also nodded with a crazy look on his face, "Beautiful, beautiful, so fucking beautiful~"

The day was long and the symposium was short. When they pushed the carts out of the steel mill gate, they looked back and couldn't help but reveal the same expressions as Zhong Yuemin and others whom they had seen last time.

The activities at the steel rolling mill were very popular. Some people who didn’t get the chance to sign up this time were actually waiting at the door to ask if this round of visiting activities was fun.

Someone asked Li Yuanchao and Zhang Haiyang, the two looked at each other, then looked at the man and nodded, "It's very fulfilling, very beautiful!"

Where there are bad boys, there are honest ones. Nearly a thousand people came to visit in the two sessions, and there are always people who tell the truth.

But among these little guys, how many are particularly honest?

Yes, but not much~!

Especially after hearing what Li Yuanchao and Zhang Haiyang said, they followed their lead and shouted, "It's so fulfilling and wonderful!"

All of a sudden, there was a constant stream of people signing up for the steel mill visit and exchange program, and it really became a popular check-in spot for internet celebrities.

At the end of each event, people waiting at the door to inquire can hear a beautiful and fulfilling slogan.

But in less than two months, the little guys at the steel mill gate disappeared and never came again.

No one complained that moving bricks was tiring. Everyone said that the steel mill had made good progress in its transformation and no more communication was needed.
