The Life of a Fool in a Siheyuan

Chapter 92.The thoughts of two factory directors

At six o'clock in the evening, Liu Haizhong got off work and returned to the courtyard. He hurried to the backyard. Instead of going back to his own house, he went straight to Xu Damao's house opposite.
At this time, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were having dinner. Xu Damao was drinking wine comfortably.

Liu Haizhong stood at the door and shouted: "Xu Damao, why didn't you go to work today?"

Xu Damao, who heard the voice in the room, frowned, put down his glass and came outside the door,
Looking at Liu Haizhong, he said, "Second uncle, whether I go to work or not has nothing to do with you, right? Are you being too lenient?"

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Liu Haizhong said with displeasure: "Da Mao, what you said is wrong. Secretary Lin said it yesterday, and you will be in charge of me from yesterday onwards."

Liu Haizhong: "You didn't go to work today, so of course I had to come over and ask about the situation. Besides, I'm still the second uncle in this hospital, so isn't it normal to care about your personal situation?"

After hearing what Liu Haizhong said, Xu Damao immediately said perfunctorily: "Okay, second uncle, thank you for your concern. I didn't go to work today because I had something to do. You, please go home and rest. You can worry about yourself more when you have time." . I won’t bother you here.”

After saying that, Xu Damao turned around and was about to go home. Seeing his attitude, Liu Haizhong was worried that if Xu Damao behaved like this later, it would definitely affect his transfer back to the workshop.

He immediately said: "Da Mao, what's your attitude? Do you know that you didn't come today without saying hello? Director Yang will be very angry when he finds out about it. You can't break the pot, and Secretary Lin You have also confessed to me, you are under my control now, if you behave like this, you can't make it difficult for the second uncle."

Hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Xu Damao cursed in his heart, this old guy is really useless and can't afford to be early. He always cares about his own affairs.

You can control me?Do you think I am just as obedient as you and accept my fate of cleaning toilets?In a few days, you will be brooming alone, and you still want me to take over for you. I'm afraid you are overthinking. Who am I, Xu Damao?I can be like you!I bother.

With a disdainful look at Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao turned around and went back to the house and closed the door. Out of sight, out of mind. Mainly, he didn't bother to discuss the issue with Liu Haizhong. After talking too much, this old guy started preaching again, which sounded annoying. .

When Liu Haizhong saw that Xu Damao was so disrespectful to him, he

He said angrily: "Hey, you Xu Damao, your wings are hard now, right? Your second uncle is impatient with you even if you say a few words. Come out quickly. If you treat work with this attitude, then I will get it tomorrow." Go and talk to Secretary Lin."

When Xu Damao in the room heard this, he was not afraid of Liu Haizhong complaining at all. The gift he gave today was not for nothing, but Xu Damao planned to go to Deputy Director Li tomorrow and urge him to hurry up and give it to him. Bring it back yourself.

Liu Haizhong saw that Xu Damao didn't reply at all, and thought to himself, why is this guy's attitude different from yesterday?It's really strange,

Didn't you give yourself some face yesterday? Why are you so tough today?What did you do when you didn't go to work today?Liu Haizhong, who was confused, put his hands behind his back and returned home thoughtfully.

Early the next morning, Xu Damao went to work at the steel rolling mill as usual. Of course, he couldn't clean the toilets. He went directly to Deputy Director Li's office.

Liu Haizhong waited for more than half an hour without seeing Xu Damao. He was so angry that he went to complain to Secretary Lin again.
--split line--

At this time, in Deputy Director Li's office, Xu Damao looked at him and said with a smile: "Director, what do you think of this tea? Is it okay to drink?"

Deputy Director Li smiled and said: "Haha, yes, this tea is very good, with a sweet aftertaste. It is of the best variety. Damao, where did you get this tea?"

Xu Damao: "Director, I got this tea from my father-in-law Lou Dong's house. I usually don't want to drink it myself. I didn't know that you like tea, so I brought it here specially for you to drink this morning, haha. .”

Hearing this, Deputy Director Li was surprised and said: "Da Mao, you just said that Director Lou is your father-in-law? Is this Director Lou in our factory?"

Xu Damao smiled and said: "Yes, the director is Director Lou of our steel rolling mill. He is my father-in-law."

Hearing this, Deputy Director Li took another look at Xu Damao, and the look in Xu Damao's eyes changed slightly.

After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Da Mao, it seems that you are still very low-key. I have never heard of your relationship with Director Lou."

Xu Damao: "Director, it's not me who keeps a low profile, it's my father-in-law who doesn't let me reveal my relationship with him in the factory, haha."

When Deputy Director Li heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing this, Xu Damao struck while the iron was hot: "By the way, factory director, when can you help me get things done now? I really can't do the job of cleaning the toilet. It's not appropriate for me to keep delaying like this. Can you see if you can transfer me back today?"

After hearing Xu Damao's words, Deputy Director Li weighed the pros and cons in his mind. He naturally knew that Director Lou was a shareholder in the factory, and he also knew that Director Lou was not just a shareholder.

If we really want to talk about it seriously, this steel rolling mill used to be his, but later, due to some reasons that cannot be disclosed, Director Lou took the initiative to hand over the steel rolling mill. This changed from the private nature at the beginning to The current state-owned factory.

I really didn't expect Xu Damao to be his son-in-law, but he had dinner with Lou Dong before, and he had never heard Lou Dong mention this matter, but since there is such a relationship, he can't treat others like that.
If I can build a little relationship with Director Lou, then I can suppress Yang Weimin a little more in the future. This deal is a good deal. If Director Lou can stand on the same line with me, then it is not impossible to push Yang Weimin out of office in the future. .

Deputy Director Li thought for a moment and said, "Da Mao, that's good. You wait in my office now. I'll go and say hello to Director Yang right away. Just wait until I come back."

Xu Damao: "Okay, thank you, director, then I'll wait for your good news."

Deputy Director Li smiled and nodded and walked out of the office and went straight to Director Yang's office.

Soon I arrived at Director Yang's office, where Director Yang was explaining something to Secretary Lin.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Deputy Director Li coming. He immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Director Li is here. Come in and sit down. Xiao Lin, hurry up and make tea."

Secretary Lin: "Okay, factory director, I'll be there right away."

Deputy Director Li: "Director Yang, I didn't bother you, haha,"

Director Yang: "No, Director Li, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. What's the matter with you suddenly coming to see me today?"

Deputy Director Li: "That's right, Director Yang, didn't I hear that you transferred Comrade Xu Damao to clean toilets? This is something Xu Damao is asking for. This comrade is quite good. He is a projectionist." Nothing has gone wrong over the years.”

Deputy Factory Director Li: "This comrade is also a sensible person. Every time there is a holiday, everyone here knows what he means. Director Yang will make mistakes, but for such good comrades, we as leaders must also give them The chance to change is not,"

Deputy Director Li: "So what I mean is, Director Yang, can you give me a face and transfer Xu Damao back, haha,"

After listening to what Deputy Director Li said, Director Yang was a little confused. How could Deputy Director Li plead for Xu Damao so well?

Could it be that Xu Damao didn't come yesterday and went to give this guy a gift?Thinking of this, Director Yang felt that the possibility was extremely high, and took a deep look at Deputy Director Li.

At this time, Secretary Lin made tea and brought it in. Before Director Yang could speak, he consciously left and closed the door.

Director Yang thought for a while and said: "Director Li, it's not that I don't want to give you face. You don't know that Xu Damao said the wrong thing at Mr. Bi's house that day and was kicked out by Mr. Bi. Mr. Bi It’s not like you don’t know anyone, if I don’t punish him, it will be hard for Mr. Bi to explain to him.”

Hearing that Director Yang moved Mr. Bi out, Deputy Director Li smiled and said: "Hey, Director Yang, what you said is wrong. How can a big man like Mr. Bi care about a little comrade? You just Don't scare me, haha, and Xu Damao didn't say anything, he told me everything, it's just trivial matters."

Deputy Director Li: "By the way, Director Yang, I remember a few days ago, you changed your place with me for your nephew. Why don't I help you with it? Director Yang, you have to give it." It’s my face, haha.”

When Director Yang heard this, he felt a little unhappy. He thought to himself, Deputy Director Li was really looking down on him less and less. He had to hurry up and collect evidence.

Just bear with him for the time being, and then think of a way to kill him with one blow when you turn around. After all, the person behind him is not simple. Mr. Bi also said that there must be enough evidence, otherwise if you act rashly, it may be counterproductive. .

However, you can't just let him say it, lest this guy has any doubts in his heart, it would be appropriate for you to embarrass him.

Director Yang pretended to be embarrassed: "Director Li, since you have spoken, it would be inappropriate for me not to agree. However, Xu Damao has done something wrong after all, and punishment must be meted out."

Factory Director Yang: "Last time you helped my nephew, I will give you the same face this time. It is not impossible to transfer Xu Damao back to his post, but he must be allowed to clean the toilet for a month before he can go back, otherwise I will be in Bi Lao It’s not easy to explain there either.”

After hearing this, Deputy Director Li smiled and said: "Director Yang, one month is too long, why not just half a month? It can be regarded as a punishment for Comrade Xu Damao, and half a month is enough for him to do well." Have you reflected?"

Deputy Director Li: "Look back, I asked Xu Damao to set up a table outside and apologize to Director Yang. Director Yang, just for my sake, don't argue with this little comrade, haha. "

After hearing this, Director Yang didn't care at all. Punishing Xu Damao was just what he said that day, so naturally he had to do it.

It's not because Xu Damao talked nonsense in front of Mrs. Bi, and a man as tolerant as Mr. Bi will naturally not argue with people like Xu Damao over such a trivial matter. It's not because Xu Damao caused himself to be punished. reason,

But Factory Director Yang doesn’t like the way his subordinates act in a submissive manner, and he doesn’t like people who act clever behind his back.

Director Yang hates such subordinates the most. It’s understandable that you want to climb up, but when scoring, you have to be measured. This is the main reason for punishing Xu Damao.
For example, the deputy director Li in front of me is such a person, but the energy behind this guy is no worse than his old leader Bi Lao, so he can compete with his official position.

It is also because of my good performance, Wang Dahammer's father's dedication over the years, and the support of Mr. Bi that I took this position.
But at that time, Deputy Director Li already had great power in the steel rolling mill because of the support of the people behind him.

I have worked hard for so many years to secure my position and wrest back a lot of power from Deputy Director Li. However, some important departments are still controlled by him, which makes me very passive, such as the Security Department. It's him who has the final say.

Factory Manager Yang had his own plan in mind, and said calmly, "Okay, then I will give you face, punish Xu Damao for cleaning the toilet for half a month and let him go back to work."

When Director Yang relented, Deputy Director Li felt proud and thought to himself, "Young man named Yang, you are still not as good as me. So what if you are the director?"You still have to show me face,

That is to say, you were lucky enough to meet Wang Tiechui. Without Wang Tiechui to help you, how else could you get to this position on your own?I didn’t have you when I was at the steel rolling mill.

Although I thought so in my heart, I still said politely: "Okay, thank you, Director Yang, then I won't disturb you. I'll leave first."

Director Yang smiled and said, "Okay, Director Li, walk slowly."

Looking at the back of Deputy Director Li leaving, Director Yang felt that he had to move faster. This guy was getting more and more arrogant now. He had already collected a lot of evidence against this guy. Once all the evidence was collected, everything would be fine. All we need is the east wind.

Deputy Director Li left the office, returning to his office feeling somewhat contented.
When Xu Damao saw that Deputy Director Li was finally back, he immediately stood up from the sofa.

She looked at him and said, "Director, how's it going?"

Deputy Director Li smiled and said: "Didn't I tell you, as long as I ask to be transferred back, there will be no problem,"

When he heard that the transfer was back, Xu Damao immediately said happily: "Thank you, director, I will treat you to dinner tonight to thank you."

Deputy Director Li: "You don't need to eat, but even though you are transferred back, Director Yang still has to take care of his face, so you have to clean the toilet for half a month as a punishment."

Hearing this, Xu Damao's expression turned bitter and he said, "Director, I really can't clean the toilet."

Deputy Director Li: "It's okay, just go and show yourself. I'm sure you'll be fine."

Xu Damao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, director. If you're busy, I'll leave first."

Deputy Director Li: "Da Mao, when will I be the host? Please invite your father-in-law out. I would like to treat Director Lou to a meal."
