Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Chapter 1046 Planning Life
As for Xu Damao, although he is now in charge of publicity and inside and outside the factory, he can take care of any problems he sees.

But in fact, he is not irreplaceable.

For example, in terms of publicity, the current head of the Publicity Department was promoted by Lao Li himself.

He is considered to be Lao Li's confidant.

Xu Damao only has the power to supervise and cooperate.

Not to mention the dirty work inside and outside the factory. If Xu Damao can do it, anyone else can do it.

If Xu Damao were asked to replace Xiao Lei's work, he really wouldn't be able to do it.

To put it bluntly, Xu Damao's position is similar to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty.

Throughout the dynasties, no one who did this was ever at a high level.

Just like what we watch in TV dramas and movies in later generations, what’s the point of having as much power as Wei Zhongxian?
Emperor Chongzhen destroyed him with just one sentence.

On the contrary, it is rare for civil servants and noble groups to be wiped out.

He Yuzhu's stories were humorous, as if he was talking about the unofficial history of various dynasties.

But Xu Damao understood the meaning of the words clearly.

Xu Damao became listless. He lay on the table, playing with the wine glass in his hand.

The desolate look between his brows looked as if he had been raped hundreds of times.

"Brother, are you saying that this is how my life will be?" Xu Damao said aggrievedly.

He Yuzhu shrugged and smiled: "Who told you not to study hard in the first place?

If you don't have any professional ability, at this time, Lao Li will ask you to switch positions with several other deputy directors.

Others can do your job, but can you do other people's job?

Just like the technical department, when they give you a blueprint to review, what can you see? "

"I can't tell." Xu Damao lowered his head.

"As for transportation, can you arrange delivery to all corners of the world, by train or by ship?" He Yuzhu laughed again.

"I don't understand. I have never left Beijing in my life." Xu Damao lowered his head another two points.

"What about the Propaganda Department? Do you have the sensitivity and writing skills? Or if the people below write a report of several hundred words for you, can you tell whether it is good or bad?" He Yuzhu continued to attack.

“·····No.” Xu Damao no longer had any smugness in his heart. After he had secured the position of deputy director, he originally thought that he was quite capable and that Lao Li was doing him an injustice by not raising his rank.

But now after what He Yuzhu said, Xu Damao finally came to his senses. It turned out that among the eight deputy directors, he was the least important one.

It is very difficult for people to know themselves.

It's not like Xu Damao never has moments of clarity, but most of the time, people tend to think highly of themselves.

It’s just like when we were young, we thought we were the center of the world.

"So Lao Li is wronging you by giving you this position?" He Yuzhu finally summarized.

Xu Damao stood up suddenly, but seemed to lose his strength halfway, and sat down again suddenly. The chairs in the He family creaked when he sat on them.

Xu Damao took a long breath, his expression regained clarity, and there was naturally loneliness in his eyes. He said to He Yuzhu: "Brother, I understand."

“You already understand, you just can’t get over that bit of vanity.

This is normal, everyone has vanity.

When I was in the cafeteria, I thought I was irreplaceable.

You see, I was away from the steel mills for a few years.

Even if Ma Hua wasn't there, couldn't you help Lao Li find a good chef?
It’s not too difficult, right?
No one is irreplaceable." He Yuzhu was making fun of himself.

Not to mention the time in the cafeteria, even now, if He Yuzhu only had the management authority of a farm, he would have achieved some results by now.

If others wanted to deal with him, it would be easy. In a position, you want to sit firmly.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the price-performance ratio must be higher than others.

You have to let your leader see your useful side.

Like He Yuzhu, he is the most inventive among the farm leaders.

He is also the most public-spirited person among those who study science and technology.

····
To put it bluntly, He Yuzhu is now in this position, a "donkey" who works hard, achieves great results, eats the least, and never gets upset.

Therefore, no matter whether it is the local or foreign trade department, they can tolerate all his problems.

No matter who you replace, it is impossible for them to be better than He Yuzhu.

This created a balance that allowed him to feel safe and comfortable.

"Haha... Damao, don't be disappointed.

You have to think about how precarious your position was when you were in the Propaganda Department, and then think about whether you had ever thought about the glory you will have today when you joined Lao Li.

Now, no matter where your wife and children go, won’t people look at them with respect?
Besides..." He Yuzhu saw that Xu Damao had suffered a heavy blow today, so he couldn't help but console him with a few words.

He Yuzhu whispered, "Like you said just now, if Lao Li is transferred, or something happens to him, you will definitely lose your position.

You have no rank now, so when others want to deal with you, they can just find some small faults and strip you of all your positions.

If you give in then no one will punish you to death.

But if you were at the department level, do you think people would increase their efforts to deal with you?
Damao, we can't compare with those people.

Even Deputy Director Lei, who has the least backing, still has a large group of teachers and classmates backing him up.

Think about who can support you?
The higher you climb, the harder you fall."

He Yuzhu talked so much today, one reason being that he drank very happily today.

It is also He Yuzhu's reflection on himself in recent days.

As mentioned before, what He Yuzhu has been considering during this period is whether to continue working in the workplace after the storm is over, or to go into business.

To be honest, when He Yuzhu is in this position, he really can't bear to give up everything he has now and go into business.

Although he went into business, with Lou Xiao'e's relationship, it would not be too difficult for He Yuzhu to earn a fortune that could last for three generations of his descendants as long as he took steady steps.

But that just meant being rich, and it did not change the He family's social class.

What's more, sometimes, against some people, having money is of no use.

So He Yuzhu thought that if conditions allowed, he had to jump out.

Give it a try for He Yuan and the others.

He Yuzhu didn't think about becoming part of a century-old family, he just felt that he had the opportunity and could give it a try.

If it really doesn't work out, he can come back to open his restaurant and do his business.

Of course, everyone has this kind of ideological entanglement.

And what He Yuzhu has been sorting out during this period is this.

He Yuzhu planned the development path for himself.

The best option is to wait until after the reform and opening up and then go to Hong Kong Island to set up an electrical appliance company, which would be considered a semi-official-business relationship, so that he could use all the resources he had accumulated throughout his life.

As for what would happen if he couldn't go and had to choose between the workplace and the business world, this was also a choice that He Yuzhu was struggling with.

What He Yuzhu said just now was more of an advice to himself than to Xu Damao.
