Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Xu Damao had no choice but to submit to Yang Guangming's power.

At this moment, Xu Damao's desire for Quan Li reached its peak.

Although in the eyes of ordinary people, being a projectionist is a very respectable profession, and even Xu Damao once thought that his profession was very noble.

That's about it within the propaganda department of the steel rolling mill.

Those clerks treated him with camaraderie and laughter on the surface, but deep down they looked down on him. Xu Damao was a smart man, and he could sense it.

It's not that he doesn't want to improve, but he lacks the means and the path.

Li Jiuzhou is a good match for you, and he has also promised that as long as Da Mao makes any contributions or meritorious achievements, he will help you get things done.

Xu Damao was already very satisfied with Li Jiuzhou's promise, because Li Jiuzhou himself, including Sha Zhu, were promoted to the rank of cadre because of their meritorious service.

If I were to be promoted directly, it would inevitably give others grounds for criticism.

This is what's giving Xu Damao a headache. Promotion is just two words, but the implications are far too numerous.

To perform meritorious service?

What merit did you get to perform?

Going to capture enemy agents? Sorry, it's not Xu Damao's place, nor does he have the guts to do such a thing.

contribute?

Where did the contribution come from?

Xu Damao racked his brains but still couldn't figure out where he could make contributions.

But if he wasn't promoted, Xu Damao would be stuck as a projectionist for life.

Aside from being targeted by Yang Guangming in the propaganda department, Xu Damao maintained very good relationships with his other colleagues.

Helpless, Xu Damao had no choice but to go to the countryside to carry out his mission the next day. If he didn't go, who knows what Yang Guangming would do to him.

For the next two weeks, Xu Damao had to go to the countryside every day, which made his wife, Su Mei, complain.

That day, Xu Damao, as usual, rode his bicycle, carrying heavy equipment, to the countryside to carry out a mission, still cursing and swearing.

Once outside the city, Xu Damao was humming a song to make the best of a bad situation when a jeep stopped as it passed by.

Secretary Nie, sitting in the back seat, leaned out and asked:

"Young man, are you the projectionist from the steel rolling mill?"

Xu Damao immediately braked the car after clearly recognizing the person asking the question.

"You are Secretary Nie, and I am Xu Damao, a projectionist from the steel rolling mill. I am on a mission in Daxing today."

"Hehe, this road is difficult to travel. I'm going to Daxing too. Get in the car, I'll give you a ride."

"Uh... Secretary, isn't this inappropriate?" Xu Damao was still self-aware enough to know that even if he wanted to curry favor with such a high-ranking leader, he wouldn't dare to do it openly.

"Da Mao, if the secretary tells you to go, then go. Why all the nonsense?" the driver said at this moment.

"Hey, Brother Wu, it's you! Okay, okay, I'm coming right up." Xu Damao didn't have much of a qualm when he saw a familiar face.

The driver was an officer in the security department, whom Xu Damao happened to know.

In no time, the movie equipment was loaded onto the car, and Xu Damao sat in the passenger seat. The car headed straight for Daxing.

On the way, Secretary Nie chatted casually with Xu Damao for a few minutes.

Half an hour later, the car entered a country road, with trees on both sides.

Just then, Xu Damao heard a faint woman's cry for help, and he was immediately jolted awake.

"Help!"

"Angkor, stop the car! Stop the car now!" Xu Damao quickly called for the car to stop.

Wu Ge glanced at Xu Damao:

"What's wrong, need to pee?"

Xu Damao said anxiously, "Brother Wu, I heard someone shouting for help. Please stop immediately."

At this moment, Secretary Nie spoke up.

"Xiao Wu, stop for a moment."

"Okay, Secretary." Brother Wu parked the car on the side of the road and turned off the engine.

After the car stopped, the three of them clearly heard the woman's cries for help:

"Help! Someone help me!"

"Damn it!" Xu Damao cursed, then revealed a huge surprise, "I'm going to improve!"

Without saying a word, he drew his gun from his waist and was about to get out of the car.

When Wu Ge saw Xu Damao draw the projectionist's sidearm, he was startled and quickly stopped him.

"Da Mao, what are you doing?"

Xu Damao said anxiously:

"Brother Wu, Secretary Nie, how could such a thing happen in broad daylight, under the clear sky? Are we just supposed to sit here and listen?"

Wu Ge hesitated: "I must protect Secretary Nie; his safety is paramount."

Angkor's meaning is clear: he cannot be moved casually.

In his anxiety, Xu Damao blurted out:

"Brother Wu, are you stupid? This is a third-class merit award! If you don't go now, when will you go?"

"The Party Secretary is sitting calmly in the car, what's there to be afraid of?"

Upon hearing this, Secretary Nie also became anxious, immediately drawing his sidearm from his waist and urging:

"Xiao Wu, hurry up, hurry up! I'll go with you guys! What are you waiting for? Run!"

Upon hearing that this was a third-class merit and that the secretary had given his permission, Wu Ge's eyes immediately turned red. He quickly drew his pistol from his waist and got out of the car.

Xu Damao followed closely behind.

Secretary Nie, with his old arms and legs, was chasing after them frantically, gun in hand.

"You two bastards, wait for me! My third-class merit award..."

Sure enough, when the three arrived at the scene, three men were preparing to commit an indecent act against a woman.

One of the men had even taken his pants off.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three gunshots rang out.

Then came Xu Damao's loud shout:

"Don't move! Cover your heads and crouch down, or you'll be reincarnated immediately!"

In order to earn merit, Xu Damao put in all his strength and ran even faster than Wu Ge, a demobilized soldier.

Angkor immediately followed and kicked the three terrified men to the ground one by one.

After Secretary Nie arrived, he also went up and punched and kicked the three of them.

Xu Damao stood guard with his gun to prevent the three from escaping.

The three were quickly arrested, and the crime was a fact. Fortunately, they arrived in time, and the girl was not violated.

"Girl, it's alright, it's alright," Brother Wu comforted the girl, his face full of concern.

The police were notified, and the three were handed over. They did not continue to go to the countryside.

Xu Damao, Wu Ge, and Secretary Nie performed acts of bravery and made significant contributions in this incident, and are hereby commended by the entire factory!

Secretary Nie quite admired Xu Damao, an active member, for his drive and ambition.

Therefore, it was proposed that Xu Damao should be promoted, and even promoted beyond the usual procedures!

Xu Damao and Wu Ge have been added to the list of those to be promoted.

Many people are getting promoted this time, including Li Jiuzhou, whose promotion to the rank of director has been confirmed!

For his meritorious service, Wu Ge was promoted to the position of First Captain of the Security Section, a position equivalent to a full-fledged section chief.

Xu Damao was promoted to deputy head of the publicity department, a promotion that was made exceptionally!

Because it was Secretary Nie who promoted him, no one dared to have any objections, nor did they dare to!

Just kidding. A vice-ministerial level leader is someone you can only look up to from a great height. Do you dare to refute his nomination?

Do you still want to work here?

Xu Damao never expected that the progress he had been longing for would be completed in the blink of an eye. It was truly a blessing from heaven!

In the office of the deputy head of the publicity department, Xu Damao sat with his legs crossed.

Yang Guangming then stood before him, feeling humiliated, to report on his work.

Xu Damao didn't waste any words, slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and glared angrily at Yang Guangming:

"Bang! Stop beating around the bush! This isn't the factory manager's office. I'm asking you, can I give you instructions?"
