When Yang Xiaotao got off the bus and arrived at his destination, he saw a restaurant with an antique building in front of him, which looked upscale.
After the two of them walked in, they saw many people sitting there, waiting.
Yang Xiaotao went over and took a look. Among the ten workshop directors plus him, there were no shortage of eleven people. There were also Section Chief Zhao of the Security Section, Director of the Propaganda Section, and people from the Technology Section. There were almost twenty people gathered together.
These people are all senior executives of the steel rolling mill, and they are all gathered here now. The standard of the dinner this lunch is not low.
"Uncle Wang, what's going on?"
He walked up to Wang Guodong, greeted Sun Guo and others, and asked casually.
"Why did you come so late?"
"Have you been notified earlier?"
Yang Xiaotao asked, and Wang Guodong frowned, "Yes, I told you right after get off work yesterday that there is a dinner party for lunch today, so come early."
"you do not know?"
"I do not know!"
Seeing Wang Guodong's surprised look, Yang Xiaotao asked curiously, "Uncle Wang, what is this good thing? So many people come to eat."
"Of course it's a good thing. Let me tell you."
Before the dinner started, Wang Guodong told Yang Xiaotao the reason.
When they heard that Liu Huaimin had been promoted to several levels and became the direct leader of the steel rolling mill, Wang Guodong and others were happy, and Yang Xiaotao was also happy.
After all, he is one of our own, so he will definitely take good care of him.
When talking about Xu Yuanshan, Wang Guodong became even happier.
Yang Xiaotao knew why, but he didn't explain it.
However, Xu Yuanshan may not be willing. Judging from the current situation, as long as he is in this steel rolling mill, he will take over from Yang Youning sooner or later. By then, the director of a large factory like the steel rolling mill will be much better than a chemical plant.
Of course, the future development prospects of chemical plants are equally broad, but that is the future.
After Wang Guodong finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao thought deeply, "It seems that this turmoil is not small. Even the superstructure has been affected. It is really unimaginable."
After Yang Xiaotao knew what was going on, he also understood the purpose of today's dinner, which was a farewell dinner, or a breakup dinner.
Of course, it was the senior management who broke up. For them, there was nothing to do. They should eat and drink.
After a while, Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning appeared. From now on, the foursome in the steel rolling mill would become a duo, which was inevitably a bit sad.
"Everyone is here, don't stand around, hurry up and take a seat, take a seat."
As Liu Huaimin said, Yang Youning asked Secretary Li to start arranging seats as agreed.
No one is in a hurry. You can't sit around at this time. Those who are close to the leader must be a popular person. Those who are further away do not mean alienation, but they are definitely not as good as those who are close.
And if you sit in the wrong seat, then your virtue is not in your place.
There is a lot of emphasis here.
Yang Xiaotao stayed at the back of the group. He was the youngest and most junior among them, and it seemed that he was called in temporarily to make up the numbers. It is estimated that he would have nothing to do with today's arrangement.
Staying behind, he watched Liu Huaimin sitting at the main table, Yang Youning, Xu Yuanshan and others lining up in sequence.
There are ten seats at the main table, and Secretary Li began to arrange them.
Zhao Chuanjun took a seat, followed by Sun Guo, director of the first workshop, Zhan Lei, director of the second workshop, Wang Guodong, director of the third workshop, Huang Degong, director of the eighth workshop, and then Li Liang, director of the propaganda department.
At this point, there is only one last seat left.
Everyone present looked at each other, wondering who was qualified to sit on it.
After all, that seat represents the core level of the steel rolling mill.
In other words, after Xu Yuanshan left, the deputy director's position became vacant. In addition, when Li Huaide left, the steel rolling mill had two deputy director positions.
If you really want to be promoted, you must choose from that table.
At this moment, Yang Xiaotao was thinking about what to say during the toast behind the crowd, and saw Secretary Li hurriedly coming over.
"Director Yang, why are you still here? Hurry up and take your seat."
"Ah I?"
Yang Xiaotao was stunned, and so were the people around him.
It turned out that the last one belonged to him.
But then he realized that the changes in this factory were obvious to all, not to mention that this guy was more than just the director.
When Yang Xiaotao sat on the stool in a daze, looked around and heard Liu Huaimin speaking, he came back to his senses.
I am considered a high-level person!
"Thank you, comrades, for your continued support..."
Liu Huaimin said politely, "I hope that in your future work, you can adhere to the revolutionary attitude of hard work, carry forward the revolutionary spirit of daring to fight, dare to fight, and seek truth from facts, and contribute to national construction..."
bang bang bang bang
Applause rang out, Yang Xiaotao clapped his hands, and then Secretary Liu held the wine glass and everyone drank together.
Secretary Liu sat down, and Xu Yuanshan stood up again, still thanking and expressing his gratitude, and drank a glass of wine.
Wait for the two of them to finish speaking.
Yang Youning on the side picked up the wine glass and said, "Let's toast the secretary first..."
"This is a cup of respect for Lao Xu..."
Next is Chen Gong.
Anyway, it was only four glasses of wine and no food was eaten. Most people would have fallen asleep by drinking like this.
But the people here are all drunken men, so this matter doesn't matter at all.
After drinking four glasses of wine, the scene began to ease into eating.
You should spend a lot of money to choose a place to eat. Just look at the dishes you choose. There are six meat dishes out of ten, as well as drinks.
And judging from the quality, it’s not something ordinary people can come here.
I guess only people like Liu Huaimin and Xu Yuanshan can do it.
The food was good. After everyone ate it, they started to compliment it. After all, the food passed down from their ancestors was still carried in their bones.
This time we only talked about personal matters, not official matters, and the atmosphere was good.
Yang Xiaotao toasted to the two of them together with everyone, and then sat aside and ate quietly.
Come here, you can't be full.
While everyone was talking to each other, Xu Yuanshan walked up to Yang Xiaotao.
"Uncle Xu!"
Yang Xiaotao wanted to get up, but Xu Yuanshan pressed his shoulders and pushed him down on the stool.
"Sit down and say it, don't be restrained."
"Uncle Xu, congratulations!"
Yang Xiaotao smiled, but Xu Yuanshan waved his hand, "In the chemical plant, I am just a layman. It is not easy for a layman to guide an expert!"
Yang Xiaotao knew about this and didn't say much about work.
"I heard that your baby is about to give birth?"
When Xu Yuanshan got down to business, Yang Xiaotao understood what he meant and nodded immediately, "It's only a few days!"
"Well, I will leave the factory tomorrow and I will probably be busy for a while."
"Maybe I won't be able to catch up on my baby's full moon, so you should keep this red envelope in advance."
After saying that, he took out a red envelope from his arms and handed it to Yang Xiaotao.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao hesitate, he added another sentence.
"For the kids!"
Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to take it.
People around saw it and didn't take it seriously.
They all know the relationship between the two.
Yang Youning looked at it and felt a little emotional.
Yang Xiaotao is obviously an emotional person, otherwise he would not vouch for Lou Xiaoe.
For such people, maintaining relationships with emotions is more reliable than interests.
By the time the reception ended, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and many people were drunk and in a state of drunkenness.
Yang Youning held Liu Huaimin's arm, and the two sang songs, which was a bit eye-catching.
Chen Gong was lying on the table purring, Xu Yuanshan and Sun Wang Guodong were talking together, and the eyes of the three of them were a little red.
Others were also in piles, helping each other and leaving.
After everyone left, Yang Xiaotao walked out of the restaurant, put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the courtyard.
After today, there are only two directors left in the steel rolling mill. I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
When I returned to the courtyard, I told Ran Qiuye about the matter. The two of them had no feelings about it, and Yang Xiaotao didn't say much.
Then he handed the red envelope given by Xu Yuanshan to Ran Qiuye. Ran Qiuye opened it and saw that there was ten yuan inside, which both of them felt was a bit much.
After dinner in the evening, Yang Xiaotao took Ran Qiuye for a walk in the alley. Then he saw Xu Damao stumbling back from outside, smelling of alcohol. When he approached Yang Xiaotao, he was so frightened that he stood against the wall. Yang Xiaotao protected Ran Qiuye as he walked by.
.
Xu Damao felt relieved as he watched Yang Xiaotao walk away.
It can be seen that the other party did not pay attention to him, which made him feel uncomfortable again.
However, what matters now is your own work.
I just went to the director's house to have a look, but I didn't know that the director was drunk and didn't say anything, which made him feel so upset that he couldn't let it go.
When he returned home and looked at the mess, Xu Damao could only endure the sloppiness and felt sad and angry.
He originally wanted to go back to his hometown and ask his parents to come over and help repair the house, but the two old people just ignored him and let him clean up by himself.
Xu Damao had no choice but to take time to find someone.
However, he still has a place to stay, which is much better than Silly Pillar.
Happiness always outweighs the pain of mortal enemies.
Even if it means taking fifty steps and laughing at a hundred steps.
Xu Damao thought of Sha Zhu living under someone else's roof and living in Yi Zhonghai's house. He thought of Jia Zhang looking at Qin Huairu as if he were guarding against thieves, and felt much more comfortable.
Then I thought that Silly Zhu would not come back for the next three years and would still clean the toilet and pick up feces every day, which made me feel even more angry.
"Find a wife and make Silly Zhu angry to death!"
Having set a goal, Xu Damao lay on the bed thinking about who to look for.
Definitely not a little widow from the countryside.
Yu Haitang, who I had been pursuing, didn't know if she would agree.
Moreover, since she no longer has a job as a projectionist, she still doesn’t know what she will do, which is quite frustrating for Yu Haitang.
However, he really likes Yu Haitang's frame. At first glance, he looks better than Lou Xiao'e.
What should we do if Yu Haitang disagrees?
Xu Damao was a little dazed for a while, and slowly fell asleep with the help of alcohol.
When Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye came back, Shazhu stood blankly under the locust tree in the yard, staring at his house, with a struggle on his face from time to time.
Seeing the sweet looks of Yang Xiaotao and Yang Xiaotao, Silhu felt as sick as if he had eaten fly excrement.
Looking at where the Yang family lives, I feel a little disappointed.
How did you get to this point?
Obviously, what I did was right!
Is it wrong to respect the elderly and the old lady?
It was the old lady who was wrong, not him.
But why do you do this to him?
Looking up at the dense elm trees, Silhu shed tears silently.
On the other side, Qin Huairu wanted to go out and say a few words to Shazhu, but was stopped by Jia Zhang.
BangGeng also ran out and looked at Qin Huairu, preventing her from getting close to ShaZhu, otherwise the children in the courtyard would call him ShaGeng again.
Qin Huairu had no choice but to wait until she went to the steel rolling mill to talk to Shazhu.
Yi Zhonghai was talking to his aunt.
"Live your own life and be careful from now on."
"Our family has enough food to eat, so don't wrong yourself."
The eldest mother wiped her tears and said, "Lao Yi, you should take care of yourself in the factory and take care of yourself."
"If you need anything, just tell Qin Huairu and I will deliver it to you."
Yi Zhonghai nodded, "I know this."
"It's just work. I've done it before, so there's nothing to worry about."
The eldest mother nodded, and finally asked, "What about the Jia family?"
Yi Zhonghai sighed, "Just help if you can. After all, the family is old and young."
"Besides, if anything happens, Qin Huairu can come over and help."
The eldest mother nodded.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu who was in a daze outside. Although he sympathized with him, for the sake of his own retirement career, he could only let Sha Zhu suffer a little.
After returning home, Yang Xiaotao played with Ran Hongbing for a while, then went back to the house to rest.
