Siheyuan: Return to the Era of Prosperity

Chapter 34 Playing with
"Xu Damao, what do you want to talk to me about?" Li Yumin looked at Xu Damao's cautious appearance and knew that he was busy and was afraid of being known by others, so he became interested.

"Director Li, I'm here to report my work to you." Xu Damao said in a low voice.

"You, report to me?" Li Yumin really wanted to smash his head. A movie projectionist was reporting to him. He was really worried about Xu Damao's IQ.

Xu Damao pretended to be profound and kept silent, waiting for Li Yumin to ask him personally.

Li Yumin is a master at playing with people's hearts, and with Xu Damao's limited skills, he had been seen through long ago.

At that moment Li Yumin looked at Xu Damao without saying anything. He knew how to deal with people like Xu Damao. If they pretended to be sophisticated, they would scare themselves.

As expected, upon seeing Li Yumin's expression, Xu Damao quickly put away his thoughts of keeping the secret and said to Li Yumin, "Director Li, Shazhu was punished by the street office to clean the toilet once in the morning and once in the evening. He is a sloppy person, who knows if he has brought any small animals from the toilet with him? Who would dare to eat the food he cooks?"

As expected, Xu Damao told Li Yumin almost exactly what Shen Zhiyu had predicted.

Some bad images suddenly appeared in Li Yumin's mind and he shuddered.

Xu Damao knew something was up when he saw Li Yumin's expression, so he whispered to Li Yumin, "Director Li, do you think we should hire a chef from outside to serve as a receptionist? If we have one more chef, no one will dare to quit."

Li Yumin was a little surprised that Xu Damao could think of these things. Could it be that Lou Zhenhua wanted Xu Damao to take a further step?
Or maybe Xu Damao has other ideas.

But no matter what, Xu Damao's suggestion is very pertinent.

That bastard Sha Zhu relied on the fact that he was the best cook in the steel mill and didn't give me any face at all. I had wanted to deal with him for a long time, but because of his cooking skills and the need for him to entertain special guests, I couldn't do so.

Although I am a doer, I don't care about face or not. The substance is what matters most.

As long as he can get things done, Li Yumin can drink and chat happily with even his enemies.

But since there is a better way, he certainly won't continue to suffer. Do people really think he is a weakling without temper?

"Xu Damao, your suggestion is very pertinent and insightful. By the way, do you know how long Sha Zhu had to clean the toilets when he was punished by the street office?" Li Yumin asked.

Xu Damao said proudly, "Three whole months, Director Li."

"Okay, I got it. You can go and ask around to find out where there are good chefs." Li Yumin decided to attack from multiple fronts. In such a big city, he didn't believe that there wasn't a chef better than Sha Zhu. He just hadn't thought about it in this way before.

"Director Li, what kind of job do you plan to let Sha Zhu do?" Xu Damao asked cautiously.

Li Yumin said casually: "Go to the workshop and modify it."

Xu Damao thought, how can that be possible? He quickly suggested, "Director Li, Shazhu is extremely strong and is naturally suitable for burning boilers."

Li Yumin looked at Xu Damao in surprise. This kid made him look at him in a new light today. This suggestion was great.

Xu Damao felt that Shen Zhiyu was amazing. He could think of so many things. His IQ was really high, but his experience was a little lacking.

It still depends on myself. Through these actions this morning, I will definitely gain the trust of Director Li.

He must find a chef who is better than Sha Zhu, so that Director Li will take notice of him and get promoted. He has been coveting the deputy director of the Propaganda Department for a long time. If Shen Zhiyu heard what Xu Damao said, he would definitely spit at him.

A worker wants to be promoted directly to the position of deputy director of the Propaganda Department in the administrative department. What is he thinking? It's just a daydream!

Now is not a special period, and we should not abide by organizational principles. If Xu Damao wants to be an official, he only needs to transfer from a worker position to a cadre position first. Only then will he be eligible for promotion. Otherwise, he is not eligible for promotion.

Xu Damao happily left Li Yumin's office, rode his bicycle outside to ask the chef, recruit a good chef, and then go to embarrass Sha Zhu. Xu Damao had always dreamed of such a day.

The courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang has become much more peaceful and stable since the position of the manager was abolished.

Shen Zhiyu and his younger brothers and sisters were having dinner when they heard Liu Haizhong's angry voice outside.

"Where is Yi Zhonghai? Why can he hire someone to clean the toilet, but we can't? What kind of logic is this? If you don't give me an explanation today, I will go to the street office to find the director."

Shen Zhiyu hurriedly finished his breakfast and went out to watch the fun. The beasts started fighting among themselves!

After coming out, Liu Haizhu stood at the front gate, talking to Yan Bugui and others, and did not see Yi Zhonghai.

"You old thing, don't you know that I'm in poor health and can't do hard work? Not only that, you hired people to do my work." After Jia Zhang came out of the prison, she still had to continue cleaning toilets and receive ideological education.

What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality. Yi Zhonghai, the main culprit, can hire someone to clean the toilet, but they can't. Naturally, everyone feels unfair.

Yi Zhonghai also heard everyone's discussions in the Middle Courtyard. He straightened his clothes and walked to the front yard. He had originally planned to temporarily hide the fact that he was going to Tianjin, but now it seems that this is not possible.

"Second uncle, third uncle, sister-in-law, Dongxu and Zhuzi, I really didn't do this on purpose. You must have heard about the new steel rolling mill in Tianjin at the factory. I will leave for Tianjin to assist in the construction in the next two days, so I was specially approved to hire people to clean the toilet. It's not that I have a low level of awareness and don't want to be punished." Yi Zhonghai said sincerely.

As expected, several people were attracted by Yi Zhonghai's news.

Shen Zhiyu also pricked up his ears. Is Yi Zhonghai willing to leave this retirement home?

"Master, are you really going to Tianjin?" Jia Dongxu asked with an uncertain tone.

"Well, I was just about to tell you, especially you, Dongxu. Do you want to go to Tianjin with the master?" Yi Zhonghai still wanted Jia Dongxu to go with him, at least he would have someone to serve him.

"You are not allowed to go, Yi Zhonghai, you are a heartless man. If you want to kidnap my son, I will fight you to the death." Jia Zhang cursed.

"Sister-in-law, we are not staying in Tianjin forever. We have four days of vacation every month and subsidies. We will come back after the aid construction is completed." Yi Zhonghai explained.

Jia Zhang didn't listen at all and continued to curse: "Get out, you old bastard, you kidnapped my son, what do you want to do? You black-hearted beast, you will not die a good death, my Dongxu will not go with you!"

Jia Dongxu said awkwardly: "Mom, the master is also kind-hearted, how can you scold me!"

Jia Zhang said, "Dongxu, you can't listen to that old fellow Yi Zhonghai. If you leave me and Banggeng alone and go away, what should we do? And there's that bad guy Shazhu, who keeps getting close to Huairu. If you go to some damn Jinmen, who knows what immoral things they can do."
