Chapter 255 Xu Damao's Harvest, The People's Thoughts
After taking a sip of wine, Xu Damao expressed some attitude in this way.
Seeing him like this, Yu Haitang did not continue to be aggressive. She knew very well that no matter how much trouble she made, the outcome would not be any better.
Rather than letting the people in the courtyard laugh again, it is better to just let it be. When the time is right, divorce will be the end for the two of them.
So what if she gets pregnant again now? Yu Haitang really thinks that her previous idea was a bit funny. Can she save her marriage if she gets pregnant?
No, even if they were pregnant with triplets, the gap between the two of them could not be eliminated.
She was wrong, terribly wrong, so all she was waiting for was a suitable opportunity.
She was supposed to spread her wings and fly high, but she no longer wanted to be such a caged bird.
The two people's concession quickly dissipated the tense atmosphere in the room. Xu Damao drank by himself. After Yu Haitang took a shower, he went to bed. Neither of them seemed to see the other at home.
The wine was no longer fragrant and the dishes were cold. Xu Damao looked at Yu Haitang who had gone to sleep in the inner room, his expression changing constantly.
After drinking a few more sips of wine, Xu Damao stood up and staggered to sleep. He had important things to do tomorrow.
One night passed, and when Xu Damao got up, Yu Haitang had already gone to work. After washing up, Xu Damao put the things he had brought in his pocket, and then headed towards the steel rolling mill.
Arriving at the steel rolling mill, Xu Damao went directly to Deputy Director Li's office.
"Factory director, hello, I'm Xu Damao." After entering the office and closing the door, Xu Damao greeted him a little reservedly.
"It's Comrade Xu Damao, please sit down first and I'll read these documents first." Deputy Director Li said with a smile, then looked down at the documents. After hearing this, Xu Damao thanked him and sat down.
Looking at Xu Damao out of the corner of his eye, Deputy Director Li had complicated emotions. In one meal, he had finished Jia Hong's job and Jia Hong himself. In a way, he felt sorry for Xu Damao.
If Xu Damao knew Deputy Factory Director Li's psychological reaction at this time, he would be happy to die. In order to "send" Jia Hong out, he and Jia Hong acted a lot.
It was also because of this that Xu Damao became even more convinced that this guy was not a serious person.
It's not that it's good to be a good person. Only such a person has room for Xu Damao to develop, isn't it?
After a while, Deputy Director Li processed the documents, looked up at Xu Damao, and said with a smile: "Comrade Xu Damao, come here to see me. What's the matter?"
He asked knowingly because he wanted to see how much desire this Xu Damao had.
"Director, I came here to report on my work to you." Xu Damao stood up and said with a smile on his face. He reached into his pocket and took out a piece of cloth wrapped in something and put it on the table. He chuckled softly: "
This was given to me by a fellow villager when I went to the countryside to show a movie, and I couldn't refuse it. So, come here and ask the leader for instructions on how to deal with it."
"Oh? There's something else like this?" Deputy Director Li looked at the things on the table and said seriously: "This really needs attention. We can't neglect our work in this area."
As he spoke, he reached out and opened the wrapping cloth and said, "I'll see what it is first and then decide how to deal with it."
Seeing his righteous words, Xu Damao's heart ached. For this matter, apart from the fifty yuan matchmaking fee given to Jia Hong, this was all he had left.
"Comrade Xu Damao, I think you made a mistake without realizing it." Deputy Director Li looked at the two gold bars on the table, stood up and reprimanded Xu Damao: "You must have been drunk at the time, this thing
Can you take it?"
"Yes, yes, yes, leader, you have a bright eye. I was drunk at that time and took it in a blur."
Xu Damao had a grimace on his face and said with a worried look on his face: "Boss, as soon as I woke up from the drunkenness, I broke out in a cold sweat. You said that if this matter spreads, I might lose my job."
"Boss, you have to help me think of a way to handle this matter for me. Thank you first."
Bowing again and smugly, Deputy Director Li said in his heart that Xu Damao is a talent.
Giving a gift can make you famous. It is simply telling him that you can accept this thing with confidence, and don't think that I, Xu Damao, will use this to threaten you in the future. Anyway, I, Xu Damao, asked you to help "properly handle" this thing.
What does proper handling mean? Xu Damao wants to bite back on this matter in the future, and he, Deputy Factory Director Li, has many ways to deal with it.
"Comrade Xu Damao, don't worry." Deputy Factory Director Li sat down again and comforted: "As a leader, my job is to lead you on the right path. What you did was done drunkenly.
At this point, I have to criticize you."
"It should be criticized, it should be criticized." Xu Damao nodded repeatedly, as if he had to bear the consequences if he did something wrong.
Deputy Director Li nodded with satisfaction, finally had a smile on his face, and said: "Comrade Xu Damao, you can report this matter in time, it shows that you are also a good comrade."
"Don't worry, I will handle this matter and it won't affect you."
"Thank you, leader, thank you, leader." Xu Damao thanked him repeatedly with a smile on his face. This time, he was really happy.
When Deputy Director Li took the things, it meant that his second step had been taken steadily.
The two gold bars were wrapped again and put into the drawer by Deputy Director Li. The smile on his face was much more sincere.
"Comrade Xu Damao, I know your work attitude. You are serious and sincere." After praising you, he continued: "I think a good comrade like you should be promoted."
Upon hearing this, Xu Damao felt as if his bones were brittle, and he smiled from ear to ear and hurriedly closed it.
Seeing him like this, Deputy Director Li smiled again and said, "How about it, Comrade Xu Damao, are you confident that you can do a good job in your new position?"
"Leader, I can do it!" Xu Damao knew it was time for him to express his stance, but wasn't it just this tremor that made him tremble?
Looking at Deputy Director Li, Xu Damao vowed: "Boss, with your constant guidance and correction, I am confident that I can do my job well."
Hearing this, Deputy Director Li nodded with satisfaction. That's right. There will be many benefits if you rely on yourself.
After saying a few more words, he asked Xu Damao to leave first. The office door opened, Xu Damao left, and Secretary Wang walked in.
After closing the door, looking at Secretary Wang who was refilling his tea, Deputy Director Li narrowed his eyes and asked: "Xiao Wang, what do you think of me arranging Xu Damao to be Wang Dongming's deputy?"
"Leader, this is a matter for your consideration. I don't have the ability." Secretary Wang responded with a smile and stepped aside respectfully.
"You, you." Deputy Director Li laughed, and then said: "This Xu Damao must be arranged. Thousands of gold buys horse bones."
Deputy Director Li lit up a cigarette with twinkling eyes, feeling quite excited. No matter what purpose this guy Xu Damao had in choosing to take refuge with him at this time, it was a good thing for him.
From another point of view, Wu Chengjun's steel rolling mill is not made of stone everywhere.
It is said that a thousand-mile embankment breaks down in an ant nest, so he would use Xu Damao as an example to make some people in the steel rolling mill excited and then take action one after another.
When the time comes, with a hole here and a hole there, he will be able to have more capital to fight against Wu Chengjun.
After confirming this idea in his mind, Deputy Factory Director Li got up and went to the factory director Wu Chengjun.
In the office, after the two exchanged a few polite words, Deputy Director Li smiled and said: "Director, I am here to ask for help. I feel dizzy after taking over the reception work."
"No, I'm thinking of mobilizing some people to help me and sort out these things as soon as possible, so as not to delay the operation of the steel rolling mill."
Hearing this, Wu Chengjun was slightly startled, looked at Deputy Director Li, and then smiled and said: "Okay, just say whoever you want to transfer. Our goal is to do a good job."
Wu Chengjun responded quickly. At this time, Deputy Factory Director Li raised this matter, which proved that someone in the factory was on his side. Otherwise, he would not have made random transfers.
Otherwise, if he mobilized Wu Chengjun's people to go there, wouldn't it be like adding sand to the situation, and he would be asking for trouble when the time comes?
Wu Chengjun believed that Deputy Factory Director Li would not be so stupid, and he was not prepared to stop those who chose to side with Deputy Factory Director Li.
Why are you trying to block it? Since people have intentions, let them be exposed to the public, so as not to hide behind and cause trouble at certain moments, catching people off guard.
"Thank you very much, director, for your support." Deputy Director Li said with a smile and breathed a sigh of relief. He was just worried that Wu Chengjun would stop him.
After the two chatted for a few more words, Deputy Director Li left. After he left, Wu Chengjun lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and asked his secretary to check on Xu Damao.
"Xu Damao, haha, interesting!" Wu Chengjun murmured. He knew that Xu Damao was the first, but he was definitely not the last.
Under the general situation, the impetuousness of people's hearts has caused all kinds of problems.
After a while, the secretary came back and told what he knew about Xu Damao. After listening, Wu Chengjun laughed again and said, "It's interesting that he lives in the same courtyard as Lin Jiaguo and the others."
After finishing the cigarette, he narrowed his eyes and said to his secretary: "You can go to the third cafeteria later to remind Lin Jiaguo that since he and Xu Damao are from the same hospital, there are some things that need to be more careful."
"Leader, I'll go now." The secretary also knew what was going on, and his expression became solemn. Now they are doing this secretly to gain both sides, and to be cautious.
After the secretary left, Wu Chengjun lit another cigarette and looked out the window with a long look.
In the third cafeteria, the factory director’s secretary talked to Lin Jiaguo and left after that. Lin Jiaguo felt a toothache.
"Xu Damao, can't you sit still?" After murmuring, Lin Jiaguo knew that Xu Damao, who had taken refuge with Deputy Factory Director Li, would soon start to gain momentum.
Lin Jiaguo was not sure what Xu Damao would do at the steel rolling mill. What he was sure of was that it would be more lively in the courtyard in the future.
At noon, Deputy Director Li, who was thinking about buying horse bones for a thousand dollars, started to work vigorously and resolutely. Without Wu Chengjun's side to stop him, a job transfer notice was posted on the bulletin board.
Wang Dongming became a director with certain real power, while Xu Damao was transferred from his job as a film projectionist and promoted to the person in charge who works closely under Wang Dongming.
Although they are only responsible for so many things, the name of a deputy director shocks many.
"Can this grandson also be the deputy director?" Silly Zhu looked at the announcement and his eyes widened. After confirming again, the corners of his mouth twitched and he couldn't help but said: "It must be a crooked way, otherwise
Is this grandson still the deputy director?"
Lin Jiaguo, who was next to him, touched him and said softly: "Don't come just by opening your mouth, otherwise you will be in great trouble."
After being reminded like this by Lin Jiaguo, Silly Zhu subconsciously shut up. He was certainly not a fool. Although he was not afraid of some things, it did not mean that he would get into trouble.
"Now, Xu Damao's grandson will probably have to get drunk in the courtyard again." Silly Zhu couldn't help but complain. He knew Xu Damao's urine properties very well.
"Then you'd better be careful. If you stimulate him from time to time, I guess he's holding his breath. Now that I have the opportunity, I might as well not touch you." Nan Yi said in a leisurely tone, and also gave a reminder, Silly Zhu said.
He curled his lips and said, "I'm so scared. If he goes too far, I'll beat him to death."
Lin Jiaguo and Nan Yi stopped talking. Let Shazhu deal with this matter by himself.
…
In the evening, after work, Lin Jiaguo and the three apprentices still stayed until the end. Who asked Deputy Director Li to hold another meeting in the name of arranging specific work for Xu Damao?
This meal was Xu Damao's first meal, a big investment and a big harvest. Xu Damao couldn't be happier today.
Deputy Factory Director Li, Wang Dongming and others felt comfortable with Xu Damao, who was both well-spoken and able to flatter him. Although they didn't know exactly what his working ability was, the ability he showed was enough.
What they need now is someone to wave the flag and shout. I believe that with the example of Xu Damao, they will gain a lot in the future.
After the dishes were cooked, the four Lin family members left just like yesterday, and someone would handle the subsequent cleanup.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard, the third uncle Yan Bugui couldn't wait to ask. He was waiting here specially.
"Jiaguo, has Xu Damao really been promoted?" The third uncle Yan Bugui was very sad now and had some thoughts.
Xu Damao's sudden promotion made him see something, and these things are what he urgently needs now.
"Well, he has become the deputy director." Lin Jiaguo looked as usual and continued: "He just had a meeting with Deputy Director Li and the others."
The definite answer gave the third uncle Yan Bugui a strange light in his eyes. After asking a few more questions, he returned to the house this time.
Lin Jiaguo didn't ask any more questions. After the cart passed by and stopped, he opened the door and entered the house.
"Jiaguo, Dad said that Xu Damao became the deputy director, is it true?" Li Xiuzhi also asked curiously. This matter had spread in the courtyard, and everyone was curious about it.
"Yeah." Lin Jiaguo nodded, sat down, lit a cigarette, and told his wife Xiuzhi, "He leaned towards Deputy Director Li. Please try to be more careful in the future."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuzhi stopped being curious and nodded: "If that's the case, you really have to be careful."
I thought this place at home was a relatively safe place, but now there is a "spy" like Xu Damao. There are some things that we really cannot be careless about.
The young couple chatted for a while and then went to the kitchen to cook. At this time, the discussion about this matter in the courtyard reached a climax.
In the front yard, the third uncle Yan Bugui's house was located. After returning to the house and sitting down, the third uncle Yan Bugui couldn't help but think about it more.
Xu Damao's ability to be promoted suddenly proves that he has a solution, so he can go and find out.
He told his thoughts to the third aunt, who looked bitter and said: "You think about it every day. A few days ago, you said that the capable person can help you. Today
It’s Xu Damao again, who are you looking for?”
"I'll look for anyone who can help me." The third uncle, Yan Bugui, spoke up and sighed: "Isn't it that I want to find more ways and more possibilities?"
As he said that, his eyes flashed and he continued: "Xu Damao and our family are brothers-in-law. Judging from this relationship, it is not impossible to ask him for help."
Hearing this, the third aunt's face twitched and she said speechlessly: "The brother-in-law is indeed the brother-in-law, but given the intensified conflict between Yu Haitang and Xu Damao, do you think Xu Damao will agree with the brother-in-law relationship?"
"That was between him and Yu Haitang, and our family has not offended him." The third uncle, Yan Bugui, found a reason to explain, which also gave him a little more confidence.
"Not offended yet?" The third aunt said as if you were forgetful: "Don't forget, when Yu Haitang and Xu Damao were talking about a date, Yu Li tried her best to stop it, and how many of us
You guys, I’ve been talking about this for a long time.”
"Do you think Xu Damao can't remember this?"
The few rhetorical questions made the Third Master Yan Bugui's heart twitch a few times. Only after being reminded like this did he remember this matter.
Co-author Xu Damao was probably angry with his family.
The third uncle Yan Bugui's expression changed. His mood fluctuated greatly. As he thought about it, he couldn't help complaining about his daughter-in-law Yu Li. Why did she offend Xu Damao in the first place.
"Don't look for trouble, Yu Li is pregnant now." The third aunt, who knew the temperament of the person next to her, warned her as soon as she saw the flash of anger in the third uncle's eyes.
"What can I do!" After being seen through, the third uncle Yan Bugui blushed, and then he couldn't help but snorted: "No matter what, I still have to give it a try, and we'll see when the time comes.
Whatever the situation is, just adapt accordingly."
The third aunt stopped talking. She knew that no matter how much she said, she wouldn't be able to persuade her.
In the middle courtyard, in the room, the first man, Yi Zhonghai, was smoking a cigarette and thinking about Xu Damao's sudden promotion.
Yi Zhonghai couldn't understand why Deputy Factory Director Li was suddenly transferred back, and of course he had no intention of meddling with it.
In the past few days, Cui Dake and his gang have frequently used the name of inspections to test their masters.
Regarding this kind of thing, Yi Zhonghai was also not prepared to get involved. He could see clearly that if some things were mixed in, he would end up unlucky in the end.
He is a dignified eighth-level fitter who can do his job with peace of mind, and some things will not affect him.
This is what he thought and did, but what he didn't expect was that Xu Damao actually chose to lean towards Deputy Director Li.
Yi Zhonghai was not worried about Xu Damao's promotion in the steel rolling mill, but in this courtyard, it would not be an exaggeration to say that "the situation has changed."
Although there is no direct conflict between him and Xu Damao, there are some things that cannot be considered too little, but must be viewed as a whole.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai took another puff of cigarette and then shook his head.
"Let's take a look first. Compared to myself, I'm afraid there are a lot of people in the courtyard who can't sit still."
With a murmur, Yi Zhonghai decided to take a look before talking. If something really happens when the time comes, just adapt to the situation.
Compared with the relative calmness of the first uncle Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu was a little restless.
In terms of grievances, she had a lot of grievances with Xu Damao, although after some things ended, the two had much less interaction.
But when she thought of Xu Damao's temper, Qin Huairu couldn't help but become worried.
What worries her even more is Deputy Factory Director Li. Even after Deputy Factory Director Li was transferred back to the steel rolling mill, he didn't seem to know her Qin Huairu. But when she met Deputy Factory Director Li during this period, Qin Huairu didn't know her.
There is a feeling of being an escaped prey and being targeted again.
She didn't know if her feelings were an illusion caused by overthinking, but she was afraid when she thought about certain things.
Especially now that Xu Damao is getting involved with Deputy Factory Director Li, Qin Huairu is worried that Xu Damao will sometimes think of something and give Deputy Factory Director Li evil ideas.
Dealing with one of them already gave Qin Huairu a headache, not to mention that now that the two of them were mixed together, if they really wanted to pay attention to her, it would be really difficult to deal with it in the future.
