Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

After the cleaning and mopping work was finished, Xu Damao dragged Zhao Ge back to the office. In order to avoid being noticed by the leaders of other departments, the two of them closed the windows and huddled in the corner of the room.

Xu Damao took out a Daqianmen cigarette from his pocket, handed it to Brother Zhao and said, "Brother Zhao, come on, have another one!" However, Brother Zhao waved his hands and refused, "Oh, no, I can't smoke anymore. I'm so sorry. I've already smoked two of your cigarettes."

Hearing this, Xu Damao quickly responded: "Hey, this is nothing! I have a buddy who specializes in selling cigarettes, so it is very cost-effective for me to buy cigarettes from him. Don't be polite to me, Brother Zhao, take it!"

After saying that, he forcibly stuffed the big front door into Brother Zhao's hand.

Xu Damao, with a big smile on his face, stuffed the Daqianmen cigarette into Brother Zhao's hand.

Seeing this, Brother Zhao showed a trace of helplessness on his face, but he still reached out to take it and held it to his mouth.

"Brother Zhao, there is nothing important today. Do we have to go out to show movies tomorrow?" Xu Damao asked with a smile.

Brother Zhao nodded slightly and replied, "Well, more or less. It's just after the New Year, so it's necessary to go to various villages to show movies. However, you will probably go to a more remote place tomorrow, so you have to be mentally prepared in advance!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao immediately patted his chest and said, "Hey, Brother Zhao, don't you know me yet? I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue. As long as it is a task assigned by the leader, I promise to complete it to the letter, hehe!"

After hearing this, Brother Zhao smiled with satisfaction and praised: "After all, you are still a young man, young and strong, and you are full of energy! If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to handle such a long journey. Damao, keep up the good work!"

At this point, Brother Zhao paused and continued, "By the way, each department in our factory needs to report an outstanding worker. Look, at the meeting of the department heads, the department heads and I both mentioned your name, and everyone agreed, hehe."

"Oh, thank you Brother Zhao and Section Chief for your advice. I, Xu Damao, am not worthy of this."

Brother Zhao laughed heartily, and then said to Xu Damao: "Hey! Brother Damao, you don't have to be so polite!"

Xu Damao's face was full of smiles, and he looked extremely excited, but he still responded modestly: "Oh, Brother Zhao, you are too kind to me! I, Xu Damao, don't have any ability at all."

As he spoke, he gently waved his hand to show that he felt unworthy of the award.

Brother Zhao patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said seriously: "Da Mao, everyone has seen your efforts and dedication. For example, those remote villages basically rely on you to go there and show movies. It's really not easy, Damao, you really worked hard!"

Hearing Brother Zhao's praise, Xu Damao felt very happy, but he kept saying, "No, no, it's all because of you, Brother Zhao, and the section chief's good teaching that gave me such a good opportunity to serve the people. What's this little bit of hardship? Hehe..."

After saying this, he showed his signature simple and honest smile again.

Brother Zhao nodded, and then told Xu Damao the good news: "Your certificate and red flower will probably be issued in a few days. You may even have to take photos as a souvenir, so you have to dress yourself up and wear nice clothes."

When Xu Damao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly responded: "I know, I know. Don't worry, Brother Zhao, I will definitely dress up beautifully. Hehe..." Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he reached into his pocket and took out a pack of unopened Daqianmen cigarettes.

"Brother Zhao, look, I bought an extra pack of cigarettes today, but I always feel it's a bit cumbersome to put them in my trouser pocket. How about I put them here with you first?" Xu Damao said as he opened the drawer and carefully put the pack of cigarettes in.

Seeing this, Brother Zhao smiled and replied, "Okay, leave it with me first. But don't forget to come back and take it away."

After hearing this, Xu Damao nodded quickly to show his agreement.

Then, he spoke carefully and asked the other party to leave work and go home early.

After all, today is only the first day of work, and there are not many important things to deal with. Staying here is just to kill time.

After getting Brother Zhao's approval, Xu Damao felt relieved, a satisfied smile on his face, and walked out of the room happily.

As I rode my bicycle to the factory gate, a voice suddenly came from behind me: "Da Mao, it's your first day at work, why are you thinking of going home so early?"

It turned out to be a comrade from the Security Department, who was looking at him with a smile on his face.

Xu Damao laughed when he saw that it was an acquaintance, but he quickly regained his composure and explained, "Hey, Brother Li, please don't misunderstand me! How could I be the kind of person who would leave early at will? It's because I have an important mission! Tomorrow morning, I have to rush to a remote place to do a projection task."

After saying this, he deliberately emphasized it with a stronger tone.

Then, Xu Damao added: "Besides, this is something that the leader has specifically instructed me to go home early and have a good rest to ensure that I can successfully complete this arduous task."

"If it weren't for this, why would the various departments have submitted my name when they were selecting outstanding workers? Hehehe..."

At the end, he could not help laughing triumphantly, and handed over a cigarette, while gently lifting the waterproof tarpaulin covering the basket on the back seat of the bicycle and asking the comrades from the security department to check it.

The comrade was surprised when he saw this, and then he gave a thumbs up and praised: "Oh my, that's how it is! I didn't expect you to be an excellent worker. Congratulations!"

The comrade from the Security Department stretched out his hand with a smile and steadily took the cigarette that Xu Damao handed over.

He looked down at the basket and saw only a few small stools placed alone inside. He couldn't help but frowned slightly.

He picked one up and took a quick look at it. After finding that it was not something from the factory, he waved his hand gently, indicating that he was not interested in these things and signaled Xu Damao that he could leave.

Xu Damao got on his bicycle and pedaled hard, and the bike sped away like an arrow from a bow. Along the way, he drove towards his home in Nanluoguxiang at lightning speed.
