Chapter 154

Li Jiandong sighed:

"You can't do this, Lao Hu. If you listen to me, I can help you take care of your body. Although I don't have the ability to do that, at least I can help you live a few decades longer."

"As for Xiao Ning, I'll go ask her later. If she doesn't mind that you can't have a child, maybe you two can still be together."

"Don't you think life has no pursuit? Once you have a wife, you will have something to pursue."

"No, no, Director Li, don't tell her. It's embarrassing."

Hu Haodang's face turned a little red.

It's really shameful for a grown man to be not good at that.

Li Jiandong said:

"What are you embarrassed about? You were injured on the battlefield. You became disabled because you were protecting us. Xiao Ning is not unreasonable. Don't worry, she won't laugh at you."

"Director Li..."

Hu Haodang was a little touched.

For so many years, he has always felt inferior because of his disability, but after hearing what Li Jiandong said, he felt that this disability had become his pride.

"Okay, Lao Hu, you don't need to say anything more, leave this matter to me, but you must pay attention to completely control your drinking in the future. If you suddenly stop drinking, it will be bad for your health.

However, from today on, you must strictly control the amount you drink every day, and gradually reduce it. In the end, it is best not to drink at all. "

"Also, you should quit smoking as soon as possible. Smoking is not good for your health, and many people hate the smell of cigarettes. It may be difficult for others to quit smoking, but it will definitely be easy for you."

Hu Haodang knew that Li Jiandong did this for his own good.

He nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll quit smoking and drinking later."

Li Jiandong wrote him a prescription and told him to go home and buy some medicine and boil it for consumption. He should come to see him for a checkup every once in a while. Since they worked in the same factory, it would be convenient for them to meet.

Taking advantage of the lunch time, Li Jiandong drove back to the courtyard.

He told Ye Xiaoning about Hu Haodang's situation. When Ye Xiaoning heard that Hu Haodang was injured and disabled on the battlefield, he not only did not despise him, but felt that he was more suitable for him.
After all, she had choriocarcinoma before, and although she was cured by Li Jiandong, she was still psychologically hesitant to have children.

Even that kind of thing has a psychological impact.

Hu Haodang was injured for the country, which made her feel safe, and his physical disability just happened to fit in with her not wanting to do that.

This made Ye Xiaoning feel that the two of them were made for each other.

Moreover, Li Jiandong also asked Hu Haodang to quit smoking and drinking. In this way, the only thing about Hu Haodang that Ye Xiaoning disliked would soon become a thing of the past.

So, Ye Xiaoning quickly agreed to give it a try with Hu Haodang.

Li Jiandong went back and told Hu Haodang the news.

Hu Haodang was very excited. After living alone for a long time, he would inevitably feel lonely. If he could find a wife to live with, even if they couldn't do that, they could still comfort each other.

So, after get off work that night, Li Jiandong accompanied him back to the courtyard, and then he settled the matter with Ye Xiaoning that day.

Both of them were getting married for the second time, so there was no need to be too particular. After confirming their relationship, they moved in together that night.

Then, they got the marriage certificate the next day and went home to meet Ye Xiaoning's father to discuss the wedding date together.

When Leader Ye heard that Hu Haodang was infertile, he was initially a little disgusted. However, Ye Xiaoning said that she didn't want to have children either, for fear of getting choriocarcinoma again or some other disease. Leader Ye respected her opinion and did not try to stop her.

Hu Haodang and Ye Xiaoning are both not young anymore, and since they have already obtained the marriage certificate, they decided to hold the wedding as soon as possible.

Even though it was their second marriage, neither of them had any intention of keeping a low profile. Not only were all the residents of Yard 40 invited to the wedding, but many colleagues from the security department of the steel mill also came.

After all, the two of them had no plans to have children in the future, and this wedding should be the only chance for them to hold a banquet in their lives.

He Daqing personally prepared the wedding banquet for his good friend, and the guests were delighted with the meal.

8 month.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it was showing signs of becoming a tornado.

That evening, after dinner, Liu Haizhong turned on his radio as usual and started listening to the broadcast.

The second auntie next to him said as she was clearing the dishes: "What's the point of listening to this stuff all day? It's better to listen to a song."

Liu Haizhong said unhappily:
"What do you, a woman, know? I am concerned about national affairs. Don't think these things only concern the leaders. In fact, they can be related to each of us."

Just then, a report suddenly came from the radio.

Liu Haizhong's brows suddenly frowned.

After the report was over, he suddenly stood up and walked out.

"Lao Liu, where are you going?"

The second aunt shouted at his back.

However, Liu Haizhong walked too fast and didn't hear her question at all.

at the same time.

Li Jiandong was answering the phone in the second courtyard of his house.

Although, given his level, he was not qualified to operate a telephone at home, but considering his research and development capabilities, the department still applied for one specifically for him.

The person on the other end of the phone is the leader of Bi Da.

Li Jiandong recognized his voice and said politely, "Boss, why did you think of calling me? Is there anything you want to tell me?"

The leader of Bida was not in a good mood today, and said in a serious tone:

"Jiandong, have you read all the documents issued today?"

As soon as Li Jiandong heard the document, he knew that the call from the leader of Bi University was indeed about Qifeng.

So, he also became serious: "I have seen it. I have heard rumors about this before, but I didn't expect it to really happen."

"Have you heard of this before?"

Leader Bi was a little skeptical, because even he only learned about this matter from his superiors in the past two days.

Li Jiandong nodded, this kind of thing cannot be hidden.

He had reminded Director Yang before, and after the storm started, Director Yang would definitely report to the leader of Bida.

But it doesn't matter even if I confess.

After all, given the relationship between Li Jiandong and Leader Ye, even if Leader Bi knew about it, he would definitely think that it was Leader Ye who told him.

In fact, Leader Ye did tell Ye Xiaoning to remind Li Jiandong that things might not be peaceful recently.

There were already signs of this trend as early as April. Leader Ye’s work paid more attention to this aspect, so it was normal that he knew about it earlier than Leader Bi.

"Yes, I heard a similar sound of wind. At that time, I couldn't be sure whether it was true or not. Now it seems that the wind is really going to blow."

After hearing what Li Jiandong said, the leader of Bida pondered for a while.

He breathed:

"It's good that you know. The next period of time may be a bit chaotic. You should be more cautious when doing things. If you encounter any problems, go to Ye Haolong. He may be able to help you."

Ye Haolong is the great leader Ye.

Although both of them are senior leaders, Bi is in charge of production, while Ye is in charge of other aspects.

The two are like a civil servant and a military officer. Under normal circumstances, the civil servant may have more power, but that changes immediately when a war breaks out.

hang up the phone.

Li Jiandong decided to look for Ye Xiaoning.

Although his relationship with Leader Ye was already solid, it was still better to ask more questions at a time like this.

After getting in the car, Li Jiandong headed straight for the courtyard.

After Ye Xiaoning and Hu Haodang got married, she has become much more cheerful recently. She spends more time outside every day and often goes outside to enjoy the cool air after meals.

It's only August now, and although it's a bit cool at night, the house is still a bit stuffy.

After dinner, Ye Xiaoning went out for a walk with Hu Haodang.

Seeing a car coming, Ye Xiaoning muttered: "Hey, this car seems to belong to Li Jiandong."

Hu Haodang also nodded: "It should be his. Let's go over and say hello."

Li Jiandong also saw them and asked Xu Zhengyang to stop the car.

Li Jiandong rolled down the window and said, "Old Hu, I need to talk to Xiao Ning's dad about something. How about asking her to come back with me?"

Hu Haodang was just about to say hello, but when he heard Li Jiandong say that, he said without thinking, "Okay, will you guys come back tonight?"

Li Jiandong said: "Of course I will come back when the time comes."

Hu Haodang looked at Ye Xiaoning. Ye Xiaoning also knew that Li Jiandong was looking for her father and it must be something important, so she said something to Hu Haodang and got in the car.

Arrived at the home of leader Ye.

From a distance, Li Jiandong noticed that there were several cars parked in front of Leader Ye's house.

"Xiao Ning, do you recognize these cars?"

Li Jiandong asked Ye Xiaoning.

Ye Xiaoning observed for a moment and said, "It should be the cars of some of my father's leaders. They rarely come to my house. Today is not the New Year, nor is it a holiday. Why did they suddenly come together?"

"Zhengyang, stop the car in front. Let's wait in the car first."

Li Jiandong gave instructions to Xu Zhengyang.

Ye Xiaoning didn't react for a moment, but he had guessed why these cars were here. It must be because of the document issued today. Leader Ye and others were studying how to deal with it.

During the day at work, there were so many people around that it was difficult to say some things. But now that I get home after get off work, these subordinates come to me.

Li Jiandong waited outside for nearly half an hour before people started to come out of Leader Ye's house.

Only after all the cars had left did Li Jiandong let Xu Zhengyang drive the car over, and then he and Ye Xiaoning walked into the home of Leader Ye.

When he saw Li Jiandong and Ye Xiaoning coming, Leader Ye was stunned for a moment.

But he soon reacted and said with a smile: "Jiandong, I didn't expect you to have such a high level of ideological awareness. You came to me so quickly."

Li Jiandong also smiled and said:
"How could I have realized it? Thanks to you for asking Xiao Ning to remind me a few days ago. Otherwise, even after a few days, I might not have realized it."

"Hahaha, that's right. You're a researcher, so it's normal for you to be insensitive to these things. Come sit inside first."

Leader Ye invited Li Jiandong back into the house, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.

However, it is normal for him to have such a reaction.

After all, he has been suppressed by the leadership of Bi Da for so many years. Now it is finally his turn to turn things around. Anyone would be happy.

Li Jiandong stayed at Leader Ye's house for nearly an hour, and when he came out he was completely relieved.

Although some things are bound to happen, at the steel mill, leader Ye has given a clear attitude.

That means with him as the protector, no one would cause trouble for the steel mill.

Of course, if he offends a leader who is more senior than him, there will be nothing Leader Ye can do.

Li Jiandong originally wanted to ask Director Yang what would happen, after all, he was the father of his apprentice.

However, he also understood that Leader Ye was already very respectful by doing this, and if he asked for more, it would be a bit too much.

Anyway, as long as the steel mill is fine, he can keep Director Yang. At most he will lose his job. He can still live a good life with him around.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Li Jiandong resisted the urge to ask.

By the time we left Leader Ye's house, it was already very dark.

Li Jiandong asked Xu Zhengyang to send Ye Xiaoning back to the courtyard first, and then took a car back to his own second courtyard.

As soon as I stopped the car, I saw a person walking out from downstairs of my building.

Liu Haizhong walked forward with a bow:
"Director Li, I have something important to report."

Liu Haizhong smiled apologetically, walked forward, bowed and waited for Li Jiandong to get off the car.

Li Jiandong got out of the car, looked at Liu Haizhong and said, "What's wrong, Lao Liu? Is there anything you want to tell me?"

So many things happened today, when Li Jiandong saw Liu Haizhong, he actually had some guesses in his mind.
Ok.

Although Liu Haizhong is a rather stupid person, it has to be said that he has a relatively high political sensitivity.

When in the drama, Liu Haizhong was the first one to discover from the broadcast that the wind was going to blow.

However, Li Jiandong did not expect that he would come to him so soon. You know, the document from the superiors was just sent down today, and even many leaders didn’t know what was going on.

Although there were signs of this incident as early as April, not everyone could sense the danger.

Isn’t it the case that Director Yang suffered this loss?

Liu Haizhong bowed his head, took two steps forward, and almost leaned over to whisper in Li Jiandong's ear,
"Director Li, did you listen to the radio today? In recent months, people have been shouting slogans. Combined with today's broadcast, I feel like something big is going to happen."

Liu Haizhong quietly reported everything he had analyzed to Li Jiandong.

Although these were just his guesses, he had to admit that they were very well-founded.

Li Jiandong has always looked down on Liu Haizhong and thinks he is a fool.

Unexpectedly, this idiot also has his strengths and his political sense is so sharp.

Li Jiandong nodded, "I understand, Lao Liu, you did a good job."

Receiving Li Jiandong's praise, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but smile proudly. He felt very happy to be recognized by Li Jiandong.

"Director Li, thank you for your compliment. I, Liu Haizhong, am in the position I am today because of your support. No matter what happens, I, Liu Haizhong, will always be loyal to you."

"Just tell me what you want me to do. As long as I can do it, I will do it for you even if it means risking my life."

Liu Haizhong quickly took the opportunity to show his loyalty.

Li Jiandong couldn't stand his corny way of speaking, but he still patted him on the shoulder.

"I understand your intention, Lao Liu, but please don't say such things again. If others hear us, they will think we are forming cliques. The situation is so complicated now, it would be bad if someone reports us."

Liu Haizhong suddenly realized.

His face changed and he said, "You are right, Director Li, you are very thoughtful. I was careless about this matter. I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Well, you go back first."

Li Jiandong nodded and watched Liu Haizhong ride away on his bicycle.

Then, he pushed open the gate and returned home. Qin Huairu walked out and said, "Brother Jiandong, Lao Liu came to see you just now and said that he had something important to tell you. I asked him to sit in the house for a while, but he insisted on waiting outside. Did you see him?"

Li Jiandong took off his coat casually.

Said: "I saw it, he just left."

Qin Huairu said "oh" and didn't pursue the matter any further. She never asked any further questions about Li Jiandong.

A woman should just take care of household affairs. He thinks it is better to stay out of men's affairs.

the next day,
After arriving at the steel mill, Li Jiandong had just finished reviewing today's documents when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in,"

Li Jiandong said something to the office door, and it was soon opened.

Secretary Cui stood at the door and said, "Director Li, Director Jia Dongxu is here to see you."

Secretary Cui stepped aside as he spoke, and Jia Dongxu walked out from behind him.

Li Jiandong nodded to Secretary Cui.
"Okay, go do your thing,"

Secretary Cui left and closed the door, leaving only Jia Dongxu and Li Jiandong in the room.

Jia Dongxu then walked over and said, "Master, something might have happened. Yesterday evening, Director Yang came to me and told me to be more careful recently. I wonder if he told you about this?"

Li Jiandong originally wanted to remind Jia Dongxu, but he didn't expect that he would come first.

So, I said to him, "Director Yang is right. You have seen the situation in the past few months. It is better to be cautious."

Jia Dongxu nodded. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing just after returning.

After sitting in Li Jiandong's office for a while, Jia Dongxu left.

Li Jiandong called a few familiar people over and gave them a heads-up in advance. Although Leader Ye had given a guarantee, it was still better to be cautious with such matters.

Over the next few days, the wind grew stronger.

The superiors issued several documents in succession, all of which were related to this incident. Li Jiandong also attended several meetings in the department in the past few days.

Finally, this time, Leader Ye requested that each factory must set up a management committee, report on its establishment, and nominate candidates for the director of the management committee. Leader Ye would make the final decision.

After the meeting, the leaders of Yida specifically asked Li Jiandong to stay.
"Jiandong, wait a moment, are the others gone?"

Leader Ye waved his hand, and the other factory directors left in disgrace, and soon only Li Jiandong was left.
Li Jiandong stood up and hit him. The leader walked up to him and said:
"Jiandong, you don't need to report to me individually. You can decide on your own who will be the director of the management committee. You must write me a report when the time comes, so as not to give others a chance to criticize you."

Leader Ye said this, which was equivalent to treating Li Jiandong as his own.
In fact, he had admired Li Huaimin before, but Li Jiandong was recommended by the leader of Bi Da, who was more popular than him at that time. Even if the leader Ye wanted to win over Li Kuaimin, it would not be so easy.

Now the wind is blowing,
In just a few days, Leader Ye had already suppressed Leader Bi.

Although he was not in charge of production, he admired Li Jiandong's abilities very much.

He also wanted Li Jiandong to replace Bi Da as the leader and work with him to develop the industry.

However, this is just a preliminary idea.

After all, Bi Da is a senior leader, two levels higher than Li Jiandong. Under normal circumstances, it would be unlikely to be promoted two levels without ten to twenty years.

Leader Ye himself didn’t know if he could work for another 20 years, let alone find a way to promote Li Jiandong.

Li Jiandong could only express his gratitude for the respect shown by Mr. Ye.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Ye. I will prepare to set it up after I return. As for the director of the management committee, I want Hu Haodang to preside over the work of the various committees, and Liu Haizhong, the former director of the labor union of our factory, to be his deputy. What do you think?"

Although Leader Ye said that he would not interfere with the appointment of the steel rolling mill, Li Jiandong could not completely ignore Leader Ye. He took the initiative to mention the name of the candidate, which showed his attitude.

Moreover, Li Jiandong originally planned to let Liu Haizhong be the director of this committee.

However, now that Hu Haodang has married Ye Xiaoning and become the son-in-law of Mr. Ye, Li Jiandong has to change his previous plan.

After all, it is a bit immature to leave the son-in-law of a senior leader unused and to use an outsider as the director.

Besides, like Liu Haizhong, Hu Haodang is very loyal to Li Jiandong.

Although Hu Haodang is not as good at flattery as Liu Haizhong, and does not obey the leader's words as if they were imperial edicts, Hu Haodang is a very loyal person.

Li Jiandong had not only helped him and his family overcome the difficulties of having no food to eat, but also helped him arrange a marriage with Ye Xiaoning.

With such a great favor, given Hu Haodang's character, he would never betray Li Jiandong even if he was asked to die.

Leader Ye laughed. "I've already said it. You can decide on your own whether to appoint the director of the steel mill's management committee."

His words were tantamount to tacit approval of Li Jiandong's decision.

When Li Jiandong saw the expression on the boss's face, he realized that his arrangement was in line with the other party's wishes.

Although, he knew that even if he didn't arrange Hu Haodang, Leader Ye would not make things difficult for him.
