Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Xu Damao came to the radio station and handed the manuscript to the factory beauty Zhao Lijun, saying that he had reviewed the manuscript and would find time to broadcast it in the afternoon. After that, Xu Damao strolled back to his office, brewed a pot of good tea, lit a cigarette and took a puff. This was the life he wanted.

Xu Damao skillfully opened the system and browsed through various technologies and items. He exchanged all the things he thought he might need in the future and put them into the space. The system reminded him a few days ago that there were less than three months before the baby in Lou Xiaoe's belly was born. If he wanted to pass on the space, he had to do it before the baby was born. So whenever Xu Damao had time, he would open the system to exchange some things for future use.

Xu Damao was browsing the items when there was a knock on the door.

Xu Damao got up to open the door, only to see Section Chief Yang Chao standing outside. Xu Damao was a little upset when he saw him, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Hey, Section Chief, what's the matter that requires you to come here in person?"

Yang Chao's eyes were a little evasive. Before, when he saw Director Yang was so powerful, he took the initiative to move closer. At this moment, he felt it was difficult to face Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, Deputy Director Li just called and asked you to come over. His tone was very bad." Yang Chao knew that he was not liked by Xu Damao, so he turned around and left after delivering the message.

Xu Damao thought about it and realized that not only had he not made any mistakes recently, but Li Huaide also didn't get angry with him. Could it be that Li Huaide was not angry at him but at Yang Chao?

Xu Damao quickly came to Li Huaide's office, "Boss, what's the matter that made you call me here so urgently? What do you want me to do?"

Li Huaide said angrily, "My useless nephew, your apprentice is in trouble."

"Oh, what happened that made you so angry?" Xu Damao asked.

"Didn't he go to the countryside to show a movie a few days ago? He ended up having an affair with a young widow and was caught in a trap! So he called you over to discuss a solution!"

When Xu Damao heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, he had cut off all the ties that should have been cut off before. However, this was indeed a big trouble. However, no matter how troublesome it was, he had to find a way to get the person out. The saying that master and apprentice are like father and son is not just talk.

"Who brought back the message?"

"Your other disciple, Sun Guoan."

"What about others?"

"He just came back at noon. After reporting to me with his uncle, I arranged for him to have dinner."

"Then I'll go find him!"

"No, he'll be back soon after he finishes eating."

Xu Damao frowned, lit a cigarette, and leaned back on Li Huaide's leather sofa. "Did the other party put forward any conditions? Do they want money?"

"They didn't put forward any conditions, they just detained the person and said they would bring him to justice!" Li Huaide also lay on the sofa tiredly, rubbing his temples.

"If they put forward conditions such as money or things, it would be nothing. What's most terrifying is that they don't put forward any conditions now! They just talk about handling the matter according to the law but don't take any action. It seems that they are aiming for something big! They may be targeting us." Xu Damao analyzed.

What Xu Damao didn't say was that even if Li Dazhuang was shot, his reputation would only be affected. But Li Huaide was different. This man was his relative and he had to save him. If he was caught with evidence in the process of saving him, it would be troublesome, especially when the situation in the factory was so delicate.

Just as the two were thinking hard, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Logistics Director Wang Jinshan came in with his nephew Sun Guoan. "Oh, Damao is here too."

"Hurry up and sit down. It's already late and you're still being polite. We need to discuss what to do!" Obviously Li Huaide also realized that the situation was a bit tricky and didn't want to waste any more time. Moreover, the people here were all Li Huaide's die-hard fans. Even Cui Yong was unable to get involved.

"Guoan, please tell me the details of the situation." Xu Damao ordered.

"Yes, Master. A week ago, Da Zhuang and I rode our bikes to the countryside to show a movie. Soon after, we separated. I went to Hongxing Commune, and my senior brother went to Lantai Commune. Later, I accidentally heard from someone that my senior brother was caught having an affair with a young widow. I got the news and rushed to Lijiazhuang, Lantai Commune. The other party had a tough attitude. They didn't want money or let us meet. They said they would deal with my senior brother according to the rules. I had no choice but to come back to report the news."

After listening to Sun Guoan's words, the three of them discussed it for a while, but there was too little information and they still had no clue.

Xu Damao touched his chin. Since the accident happened in Lantai Commune, it would be easy to deal with. He was familiar with the place, and Secretary Wang of the company was also familiar with him. He had saved people there before! However, Lijiazhuang was a bit remote and was rarely visited.

"I'd better go there and see what's going on. I'm more familiar with that place. You have a lot of things to do in the factory and it's not convenient for you to go there." Xu Damao put out his cigarette in the ashtray and wanted to go there himself. Li Huaide probably called him over with the intention of letting him go, but he didn't say it explicitly.

"Okay, we can't come up with any good ideas just guessing here, so why not send someone over to have a good talk with them. But you have to wait, I'll get you something." Li Huaide stood up and walked behind the desk, opened a drawer and took out a large stack of money and various bills, "Take some just in case, what if the other side just wants to rip you off?"

Wang Jinshan also warned: "Da Mao, this is an urgent matter. Try to resolve it as quickly as possible. If the news gets to the factory, it may have some adverse effects on us."

"Okay, I'll go right away. Give me a note of leave and a letter of introduction."

Li Huaide picked up the pen and quickly wrote out the leave note and letter of introduction for the business trip. These days, it is inconvenient to do anything without a letter of introduction, especially when traveling abroad.

Xu Damao took the things and the letter of introduction and was about to walk out of the office.

"Da Mao, call me if you have anything."

"Da Mao, go early and come back early."

Xu Damao nodded and turned to leave. After taking out the note and handing it to the security personnel at the door, Xu Damao went to the carport, rode his bicycle and rushed to Lantai Commune. This matter cannot be delayed, otherwise it will get bigger and bigger. We must cut the Gordian knot and calm things down quickly.

Xu Damao rode very fast along the way, and since he was alone without the burden of projection equipment, it took him just over an hour to reach the Lantai Commune office compound.

Xu Damao stopped an unfamiliar staff member and asked, "Little brother, is your Secretary Wang here? If not, you can ask your deputy secretary or the militia captain."

"Our Secretary Wang is here. I'll take you there."

"No need, I know where his office is!" After saying that, Xu Damao parked his bicycle, picked up his bag and went to Secretary Wang's office.

Xu Damao knocked on the door and pushed it open when he heard someone say "come in," and walked in. "Secretary Wang."

Secretary Wang was reading a document. He looked up when he heard the voice. "Hey, what a rare guest! Projectionist Xu, I haven't seen you for a while. What's the matter today?"

"I just happened to have some time today so I came over to take a look, and by the way, I have something to ask you for help!" said Xu Damao.

"Oh? What's the point of asking for favors between us? Just tell me what it is and I will definitely help if I can." Secretary Wang said.
