In the evening, in Lu Shiping's office, the company's party branch meeting reached an impasse.

The disagreement is about who can be the target of this year's organization's development. The opinion of the bureau's party committee is: It is necessary to recruit into the party a group of activists who have a sense of reform and innovation and have outstanding work performance.

Before the meeting, Lu Shiping communicated with Wei Qihuan, full-time deputy secretary: In any case, Li Fei should be listed as this year's development target.

However, three of the five branch committees of the company's branch disagreed with them.

I am not against reform, but I am against messing around in the name of reform. Yan Guifang, deputy manager, said that I think it is extremely unreasonable to take out the basic salary of old workers and float them in a new egalitarianism. Moreover, Comrade Li Fei likes to engage in one-word discussions, and his personal opinions come first, and he cannot listen to different opinions. He has been applying to the organization for so many years, and the organization has always pointed out his shortcomings and shortcomings, but has he changed it? He continued to go his own way, even getting worse.

Yan Guifang is a person who is not afraid of offending people, and what to say in his heart.

I don't deny that Li Fei has some ability, nor do I deny his contributions. However, this person is arrogant and arrogant, no one in his eyes, and Lao Tzu is the best in the world. I think it's very immature, and I have to continue to test. Cai Mingjun, the head of the trade union, was clearly angry in his words.

He has a son, a daughter and two children, and according to the company's regulations, each cadre and employee can arrange for one child to be employed within the company. Cai Mingjun's daughter has been arranged to work in the mall, and he hopes that his son can also go to work in the mall. Looking for Li Fei to speak, he thought that Li Fei would give face, but he was rejected by Li Fei. He's been haunted by it.

Liu Fugui's opinion was even sharper. He said that in recent years, under the correct leadership of the company's party branch, Comrade Li Fei has made some achievements in his work. No one has to deny him. However, to say that Comrade Li Fei has a strong sense of reform and opening up, I don't think this is necessarily true. What does the advocate of reform and opening up think deep down now? I don't think you know that very well. In order to maintain the purity of the party ranks, we must not allow people who may have serious ideological problems to infiltrate the party.

Every year when the branch discusses the development of Li Fei, Liu Fugui will raise the same question, this kind of problem is very lethal, and every time Li Fei's efforts to join the party fail.

Once again, the meeting reached an impasse.

Wei Qihuan looked at this smile, and then at that smile. Hopefully, the three will reconsider their opinions. No one wanted to respond. He looked at Lu Shiping and smiled bitterly, meaning: What should I do?

I agree with some of the opinions that you have said. Lu Shiping said with a heavy heart that some problems do exist in Comrade Li Fei. Sometimes I get angry and want to remove him.

But as the saying goes, no one is perfect without gold. Although Comrade Li Fei still has one or another problem, Comrade Li Fei has advantages that other comrades do not possess.

Think about it, when I first arrived, what was the situation in the mall? Some businesses are losing money, some businesses are on the verge of loss, and our various business indicators are the first in the overall market.

That year, Li Fei proposed to expand beer sales, and most of us opposed it. Including myself, I can't pass it in my heart. But Li Feili overrode public opinion and opened up the sales of beer.

The next year, Li Fei took over the household appliance department, and in one year, the turnover of household appliances soared from less than 600,000 yuan a year to more than 3 million yuan. Moreover, his reform and innovation measures have been affirmed by the Party Committee of the Bureau, calling on the overall situation to learn from Xiangzhou shopping malls.

Last year, we adopted his suggestion and adjusted the business of the shopping mall from a comprehensive shopping mall to a professional shopping mall, thus occupying a leading position in the professional market. This year, the mall's turnover is expected to exceed $10 million.

Recently, through his work, China Commercial Bank agreed to arrange a project loan of 10,000 yuan for us.

On my first day in office, Director Xu handed over the construction of the hotel to me as a political task. I also tried my best, found connections, asked friends, and found several banks, but none of them were willing to lend us money. The president of a bank in charge of credit is still my comrade-in-arms, and at the beginning he said it well, and reported all our loan applications, and I also asked the designer to help us design the drawings, but the loan report was still sent back by the superior bank.

For several years, our dream of building a new hotel has always stayed on a drawing paper. There has been no progress. But now, this deadlock has been broken, and through Comrade Li Fei's work, finally some banks have begun to be willing to give money.

Speaking of this, Lu Shiping seemed to be a little emotional, and his eyes moved to the faded renderings of the Xiangzhou Hotel on the wall.

As for Comrade Li Fei's view, I would like to borrow a sentence from a great man: Talent is rare. I'm now thinking about whether to transfer Li Fei to the preparatory team for the construction of the new hotel.

Because only Li Fei can open up the situation and make our project plan a reality.

All of us here have family members and children working within the company. Some of our comrades are about to reach retirement age, and they have to rely on the company to pay their retirement salaries. If the company is in a bad situation, what do we pay everyone?

It is in the common interest of all of us to cultivate capable and capable people, let them shoulder heavy burdens, and run and manage our company well.

If we can look at the problem from the perspective of the company's survival and development, what personal prejudices and grievances can we not abandon? I hope you will reconsider your opinion.

Lu Shiping's words can be described as serious, which touched a few people present.

Lu Shiping's gaze shifted from one person to another, and no one except Wei Qihuan looked at him.

Moreover, Comrade Li Fei's single-mindedness and hard-working spirit are also obvious to all. Wei Qihuan helped Lu Shiping on the side.

He got up and handed the three of them cigarettes, lit a fire, and smiled.

Manager Yan, tell me about it.

Wei Qihuan said in a low voice as if he was begging for his own private affairs.

Since the secretary said so, I agree with you. Yan Guifang breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Qihuan smiled cheekily at Cai Mingjun again: Lao Cai will also talk about it. Cai Mingjun was a little reluctant and said I agree with Lao Yan's opinion.

Lao Liu? Wei Qihuan picked his mouth at Liu Fugui.

Liu Fugui saw that the general trend had gone, and he was both sad and angry. He said that I can reserve my personal opinion and obey the decisions of the organization. But what I have to say must be said. I think you're appeasement!

Wei Qihuan smiled and said, how can we tolerate adultery?

Hearing Liu Fugui speak so meanly, Lu Shiping was a little angry. He said:

Comrade Li Fei has been being tested by the organization for so many years, have you heard a single complaint from him? Did it affect his work? To put it mildly, including these people here, can we compare with Li Fei in terms of work enthusiasm, work spirit, work motivation, and work performance?

There is also the spirit of honesty and dedication, which is also incomparable to us. Wei Qihuan said again on the side.

Lu Shiping said: In my opinion, Comrade Li Fei does not say that he meets the standards of probationary party members, but he is measured by the standards of outstanding party members, and he is enough!

Liu Fugui saw that Lu Shiping was full of anger, like a ball that had been hit, and bounced off the ground. He said:

Li Fei was a person with serious ideological problems in the past, and the words he said were in the files; You are all later, you don't know, I know best. I invite you to take a look at his file!

Liu Fugui was emotional, and the saliva in his mouth came out.

Regarding Li Fei's thinking in the early days of reform and opening up, Lu Shiping learned about it through Zhang Zewen. Zhang Zewen said that at that time, many people had this kind of confused understanding, but they didn't say it, or said that it was not recorded by anyone. Only what Li Fei said was recorded by Liu Fugui, and he kept an eye on it, making it a personal stain and recording it. One of the most serious sentences is his conversation with Liu Fugui. In the case of Liu Fugui's repeated teasing, he said that you are what you say, who can light the lamp, I don't know anything.

How many years has this been, Wei Qihuan said with a smile, back then, people said a few wrong words, the review was made, and the organization also came to a conclusion, we can't always hold on to it, right?

What does it mean to hold on? Liu Fugui was annoyed by Wei Qihuan's statement.

Lu Shiping has calmed down, he is the secretary, he is the helmsman of the team, he must be calm. He said:

Our organization looks at a person, not only by what he says, but also by what he does. And it's more important to see what he does. If he is really a person who has different ideas about the organization, how can he be able to consistently demand himself according to the standards of a party member for many years? Comrade Liu Fugui, you said that we tolerate and nurture adultery, can we persuade you to have fewer personal prejudices?

In the end, a show of hands was held, and the decision of Li Fei to become a probationary member of the Communist Party of China was passed by four to one.

At the same time, it was decided that Lu Shiping would have a conversation with Li Fei on behalf of the organization.

After the meeting ended, Lu Shiping said to Cai Mingjun and Liu Fugui, you go first, I have some business matters to talk about with Lao Wei and Lao Yan.

Seeing that Liu Fugui was standing at the door and didn't want to leave, he knew that he was still angry and had something to say. Wei Qihuan pushed him and persuaded him, go first, rest early.

Lu Shiping left Wei Yan and the others behind to talk about the preparation team for the construction of the new hotel. Lu Shiping said: Who do you say will do a good job in this work?

Yan Guifang said, didn't you just say that you wanted Li Fei to come out and prepare for the construction?

Of course, it would be good if Li Fei could sit up. The problem is that the mall can't do without him now. Lu Shiping said.

How about letting Huang Jiaxiao come out to grasp the preparations? Yan Guifang suggested.

Lu Shiping hurriedly shook his head: This matter is like learning scriptures from the west, and there are many difficulties. Huang Jiaxiao can't do it.

It really takes a pioneering spirit to do it. Wei Qihuan said.

Let Li Fei come out, and Huang Jiaxiao will take over the power delivery business? Yan Guifang said again.

Lu Shiping shook his head again: The two people's thinking is completely different. What's more, Li Fei didn't let Huang Jiaxiao interfere, and Huang Jiaxiao was not familiar with the power delivery business.

There is a good seedling. Wei Qihuan said.

Lu Shiping said, I know who you are talking about. It's just too tender.

Who is it? Yan Guifang didn't understand.

Wei Qihuan smiled and said nothing.

Lu Shiping said that he was talking about Guo Xiaohai.

I observe that Li Fei takes him with him wherever he goes, and I think he will become a little Li Fei in the future. Wei Qihuan said that at the end of last year, he was sent to an electrical appliance factory in Guangdong to participate in a supply meeting, and after the meeting, the factory organized the delegates to travel to Thailand, and those who did not go were given 5,000 yuan in cash. He didn't go, and took the 5,000 yuan back and handed it over to the public.

Oh - and that kind of thing? Yan Guifang said.

Wei Qihuan said, after Li Fei told me, I deliberately asked him, how did you get back the money that other people's factories gave you? You know what he says?

How so? Yan Guifang asked.

He said that the reason why people gave me money was not because I was going to the mall. I don't represent the mall, will he give me money? So this money is for the mall, not for me personally.

Awareness is not low! Yan Guifang said.

Wei Qihuan said, a little admitted, so I said that in the future, I will be a little Li Fei again.

Malls have a regulation on receiving business kickbacks. Lu Shiping added.

There are rules that need to be enforced. Wei Qihuan said that Li Fei's point is admirable. Look at the problem far and deeply. To be honest, many of our leaders seem shallow on this issue.

Regarding Guo Xiaohai's visit to Guangdong to participate in the supply fair last year, Lu Shiping has a more comprehensive understanding.

The manufacturer is a company that makes electric fans, and has three customer units in Xiangzhou, and Xiangzhou shopping mall is one of them. The factory's products have a total of tens of thousands of sales in Xiangzhou a year. Basically, it is divided equally among the three companies. The competition between the three is very fierce, and the wholesale profit of an electric fan is only one or two yuan.

In order to change this passive situation, before leaving, Li Fei and Xiaohai repeatedly negotiated and formulated a strategy of preemptive strike.

At the supply meeting, due to the introduction of the principle of balanced supply in the off-peak season, the merchants complained that they would not fall, and some had to sign the purchase contract for next year according to the sales volume of the off-season rated for the whole year.

Seeing that Xiaohai had been in a state of dissociation, his colleagues in Xiangzhou asked him what he was going to do. Xiaohai said that the manufacturer's conditions are too harsh, so let's take a look first.

After others signed the contract and left, Xiaohai found out the contract of the two peers in Xiangzhou, and proposed the contract number of 50,000 units to the factory, which is more than the total annual sales of the three, which is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for the manufacturer. But Xiaohai put forward a condition, that is, to have three points more rebates than the other two.

At first, the manufacturer had concerns and did not agree to engage in two prices in one place. Xiaohai's reason is also very good, and the rebates of all manufacturers are linked to the quantity.

After several rounds of bargaining, in the end, the manufacturer gave two more points of rebate and agreed that the off-season could be paid with a bank acceptance draft.

After the New Year, Xiangzhou Shopping Mall took the first batch of goods of the year in late March, and directly set the wholesale price on someone else's factory price plus freight. As a result, they did not dare to purchase the goods, thus violating the contract with the manufacturer.

After the arrival of the peak season, Xiangzhou shopping malls have sufficient supply and occupy a dominant position in the market in one fell swoop.

Lu Shiping said that it would be good if Li Fei could take Xiaohai for a few years.

It's easy to do. Yan Guifang told Lu Shiping and Wei Qihuan what she thought.

Lu Shiping slapped the table and said that this idea was good! How could I not have thought of it?

Wei Qihuan said, how do you say a sentence? The article is empowered, and it is not mentioned or awakened.

With that, all three of them smiled happily.
