Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

On this day, Xu Damao came to the office early in the morning to sort out some documents, but soon he had nothing to do and had to lean back in his chair to think about things. He planned to organize a staff sports meeting in late April or early May when the weather was warmer, so that the majority of employees could relax, and then set up some prizes to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, which would be another achievement.

Then he thought of what Director Yang had done to him. Last night, he went to Director Yang's home and found no evidence of any major violations of law or discipline except for some money, gold, antiques, and various bills. These things were not enough to bring Director Yang down, so Xu Damao simply put them into his space. There must be something wrong with the origin of these things, so he wouldn't dare to call the police.

Xu Damao couldn't help but wonder whether Director Yang was a man of integrity or a cunning traitor with many burrows?

While Xu Damao was thinking, Deputy Director Li's new secretary, Xiao Zhao Guodong, knocked on the door and came in. He used to work in the factory office and had a very good relationship with Xu Damao, calling him a brother in private.

"Brother Xu, congratulations, Director Li is looking for you."

Xu Damao also likes Xiao Zhao very much. He is not only young but also educated and motivated. Xiao Zhao has been with Li Huaide for more than two years. Before that, he was in the factory office to handle some trivial matters. After the start of work this year, he was gradually valued by Li Huaide and became his secretary.

Xu Damao estimated that on the one hand, this Xiao Zhao must have given Li Huaide a valuable gift during the New Year, and on the other hand, Li Huaide's current situation was somewhat unfavorable, as he had fewer available men, so he could only pick the best from the worst.

"Oh, congratulations on what? Am I going to get a promotion?"

"Hey, brother, you guessed it right. Director Li received the notice early in the morning."

"Okay then, I'll go with you and take a look."

The two of them walked and talked, and soon arrived at Li Huaide's office. Xiao Zhao made two cups of tea for them, then closed the door and walked out.

Li Huaide smiled and patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said, "Brother, your promotion is done. My father-in-law told me last night. I have finally done what I promised you. You have helped me so much and given me so much credit. I have always felt guilty for not helping you get this done."

"Oh?" Xu Damao pretended to be surprised. "Could it be the credit and reward for the previous incident?"

"That's right. I had submitted your application for promotion a long time ago, but it was stuck there due to the background of your wife's family. This time it was approved by my father-in-law and another leader who slammed the table." Li Huaide said with some joy.

"At that time, many people brought up your class background as an issue, but my father-in-law and a senior leader directly brought up the contributions you made in the institute, which made them shut up and eventually approved your application for promotion."

"Brother Li, to be honest, I don't care about promotion. As long as I can contribute to the country, I can be anywhere." Xu Damao said modestly, but he was indeed touched. God knows how difficult it is to get promoted when you are married to a capitalist lady. Although he has made many contributions, Lao Li helped him achieve it. It can only be said that Lao Li is worth making friends with.

In fact, he went to XX Sea again a few days ago, and he has already obtained his permanent pass and a badge of the Republic. The Lou family's pass has also been obtained, and someone has changed the class status of the Lou family. The new household registration book is lying in Xu Damao's space, but it has not been sent over yet.

"Da Mao, the Propaganda Department is handed over to you this time. Just do it boldly. I have transferred the traitor Yang Chao to the workshop, and Old Yang won't be able to jump around for a few more days." Li Huaide said with some pride.

"Oh, did you catch him?"

"Well, he misappropriated the funds for our factory's expansion and also accepted a lot of bribes. This time, Deputy Director Wu and I have reached a cooperation and worked together to bring down Lao Yang. This time, he will be skinned alive if he doesn't die. By the way, the other big leader who supports you is the person behind Deputy Director Wu. You should take some time to visit Deputy Director Wu and build a relationship with him." Li Huaide said.

"Okay, I'll remember it, brother." Xu Damao told Li Huaide again about his plan to hold a staff sports meeting in April or May.

"Okay, Damao, you are really smart. You can come up with a good idea with just a little thought. This is a good thing. I will definitely support it. Just go for it."

"Okay, Brother Li, I'll get busy now."

"Go ahead, go ahead. The notice will be broadcast soon. You don't need to review the manuscript. I asked Xiao Zhao to write it himself."

"These are Brother Li." Xu Damao also felt that it was a bit strange that he was reviewing the manuscript for his promotion.

Sure enough, when Xu Damao returned to the office and was writing the rules for the sports meeting, the voice of Zhao Lijun, the factory beauty, rang out over the factory's loudspeaker.

"Attention, fellow workers. Now a notice is being broadcast: Comrade Xu Damao, deputy chief of the Propaganda Department of our factory, has worked hard, been responsible, and united the masses in his work, and has made many important contributions. Comrade Xu Damao is... Among them, Comrade Li Huaide, deputy director of our factory, also... With the recommendation of the factory leaders and the approval of the superior leaders, Comrade Xu Damao is appointed as the chief of the Propaganda Department, with an administrative grade of Level 16. At the same time, Comrade Xu Damao is relieved of his post as deputy chief of the Inspection Department. I hope that fellow workers can learn from Comrade Xu Damao and contribute to the construction of the motherland."

Xu Damao listened to the broadcast and thought Li Huaide was very interesting. The entire notice used a lot of words to praise himself, but the number of words praising Li Huaide was only slightly less. Li Huaide really knows how to flatter himself. Who is getting promoted?

boom!

The news of Xu Damao's promotion was like a bomb dropped into calm water, causing huge waves.

Among them, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu were so angry that their teeth were itching. This damn Xu Damao actually got promoted again. With the background of his wife's family, how could he get promoted again? They couldn't accept it!

Liu Haizhong secretly thanked his luck that he did not follow the wrong person. Not only did he become an official, but Damao also got promoted. In the future, he would have to follow Xu Damao's pace and perform well. Whatever Xu Damao said was his final decision.

As for the other employees in the factory, they took time out to gather together and discuss things.

"Is Section Chief Xu so brave? He dared to go forward to rescue people under the enemy's artillery shells."

"Didn't you hear that Section Chief Xu killed a few more enemies? He's such a ruthless man!"

"I kind of regret that I wasn't there at the time, otherwise I would have been the one getting a promotion and a raise today!"

"Come on, Liu Laosan, with your courage, you would have been scared to death a long time ago."

"Head Xu is the only one in our factory who cares the most about us workers. I will be the first to support his promotion."

“Yes, we all support it.”

Countless unmarried women and families with daughters of marriageable age are secretly sighing, how could such a young and promising guy get married so early? Now they have no chance at all.

Countless male compatriots secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Chief Xu was married, otherwise, few people in the factory could compete with him!
