Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

The next day, Xu Damao woke up early at dawn. He activated the dimensional walk and sent the rain back to her house before returning to his own home. It was not very convenient in the courtyard. Perhaps the system that gave him the skill did not expect that he would use this skill to steal jade and fragrance.

After Xu Damao came back, he cooked himself a bowl of noodles with two eggs, intending to nourish himself. Maybe it was to thank him for his cooperation and concessions. Last night's rain was also unusually active and unlocked several new postures. He also didn't sleep well for half a night and was overworked.

At this time, Xu Damao remembered the roast duck he bought last night. He put it in the cupboard to get some wine. He didn't want it to go bad in the hot weather. Xu Damao opened the cupboard and saw that there was no trace of the roast duck.

The only people who steal in this courtyard are Jia Zhang and Bang Geng. It seems that the lesson they learned last time was not enough! They dare to act so rampantly even though the old deaf man and Yi Zhonghai are not here! Is it Liang Jingru who gave her the courage?

Xu Damao looked at the time and decided to eat first. After all, he still had to go to work. It would be better to call the police directly to resolve the matter of the lost items.

"Da Mao, are you going to work so early?" Yan Bugui was wiping his precious bicycle in front of the door.

"Hey, I am destined to be a hard worker! It's not as good as you teachers, where you can rest for as long as your students every time."

"How can I compare with a leader like you? I can only take a break during two long holidays."

"Uncle, did you see that I bought two roast ducks yesterday?"

"I saw it, what's wrong?"

"Yesterday we had dinner at Sha Zhu's house and wished Yu Shui a good university entrance exam. I ate one and left the other at home. But when I got home, guess what? It was gone! I was wondering, how could this roasted duck fly?"

"Oh my! How could this cooked duck disappear for no reason? It must have been stolen! A roast duck is not cheap. This is a big deal. We can't solve it in our hospital. We have to ask the public security comrades for help."

"Da Mao, I remember something. Last night, after dinner, our family was outside enjoying the cool air. I saw Jia Zhang limping out of the yard carrying a cloth bag and a stick. I could smell the aroma of meat from the cloth bag."

Xu Damao nodded. "It seems to be true. The Jia family is really getting more and more outrageous. We must teach them a lesson this time. Let's hold a meeting of the whole hospital tonight. If that doesn't work, we can invite the public security comrades."

"Okay, I'll have my boys go and inform everyone then."

"Then you go ahead and do your work, I still have to go to work."

"Go ahead, go ahead. I'll take care of the affairs in the courtyard."

Xu Damao rode his bike straight to the steel rolling mill. After parking his bike, he went to the workshop to attend the morning meeting as usual.

Today, both deputy directors are in the factory, which is a rare occasion when everyone is present. After the morning meeting, the three of them held a simple meeting.

"Guodong, Xiaoguang, now that our workshop's output has increased, we need to keep up with other aspects, especially the share of rubber. We must ensure that this foreign trade order is completed smoothly. So many people in the factory are waiting for our bicycles to exchange for supplies!"

The two looked at each other, and then Zhou Xiaoguang nodded and signaled Zhao Guodong to speak first.

Zhao Guodong said: "There is no problem with logistics for now, but our country's natural rubber production is limited. Fortunately, we don't need much, and the leaders of the department have also said hello, so we can still guarantee sufficient supply."

"The new type of steel we use has recently achieved a technological breakthrough, and there will definitely be no problem with production and supply," Zhou Xiaoguang also said.

Xu Damao said: "Recently, everyone has taken the initiative to stay and work overtime. It's really hard work. I think it would be better to give everyone more benefits from the materials we exchanged this month."

"The benefits we distributed last month made many people in the factory jealous. Will they be dissatisfied with us for distributing them again this month? I heard that someone went to complain to the factory director last time, but was suppressed," said Zhao Guodong.

Xu Damao touched his chin. This is indeed a problem. After all, we are all in the same compound now. If you secretly distribute benefits this morning, the whole factory will know about it in the afternoon. We all work in the same factory, why do you have so many benefits while I don't?

"How about this, we secretly rent a warehouse outside to store the exchanged materials, and then distribute the benefits from there, and then remind everyone not to leak the news. If the news gets out, then we won't distribute extra benefits in the future. It's related to everyone's interests, I think no one should leak the news." Zhou Xiaoguang proposed a solution.

"Okay, let's do this. Xiaoguang will go out to look for a warehouse in the afternoon, and Guodong will keep an eye on the workshop. A group of new people will arrive in the Propaganda Department in the afternoon, so I have to go and take a look."

"Don't worry, we'll call if there's an emergency."

In the afternoon, Deputy Section Chief Guo Wenjin brought back more than 20 people from the Personnel Section. These people were all high school and technical secondary school graduates this year. After the expansion of the steel mill, each administrative department was short of people, so Li Huaide specifically reported to his superiors and asked for a group of people to come over, and these were the people assigned to the Propaganda Section.

Xu Damao met these people one by one in the office and chatted with them, which was considered a brief understanding, and then assigned them to different offices. Among them, Xu Damao also met a little girl who had some impression of her. She was the intern he met once at the radio station. Now it seems that she has been officially assigned here.

Xu Damao stared at the pretty girl. "What's your name? I think we've met before."

"My name is Chen Yutong. I studied broadcasting at a technical secondary school. I did an internship at our factory for a while." Chen Yutong replied crisply.

Xu Damao secretly praised her in his heart. As expected of a broadcasting major, her voice was really nice. "Do you still want to go back to the radio station?"

"Of course I have. This is what I studied. Of course I want to be a broadcaster."

"Okay, then you should go to the radio station. Someone there is about to give birth and has taken a long vacation, so they are short of staff at the moment." Xu Damao said.

"Thank you, Chief. I'll go over first. Now I can work with Sister Xiaolan again." Chen Yutong thanked happily.

Xu Damao asked with some doubt: "You all have the surname Chen, are you related in some way?"

"She is my cousin. What do you think our relationship is?" Chen Yutong said with a pout.

"Okay, okay, then go find your cousin and learn from her. Call the next person over, I'm busy here." Xu Damao waved his hand and ordered.

It took nearly two hours to finally settle all these people. Xu Damao walked into the office of Deputy Section Chief Guo with his hands behind his back. The weather was quite hot so all the offices were open.

"Old Guo, I came to see you about something."

Guo Wenjin stood up when he heard the noise. "Chief, what's going on? Is there something wrong with the new group of people?"

"We just had a brief chat and didn't find any problems. They are all very energetic young people. You came late and you didn't know that our department has always had a tradition, that is, if there are new people, the same office will organize a dinner to welcome the new comrades. Did we welcome you when you first came?"

Guo Wenjin thought back and remembered that when he first arrived, Xu Damao did bring a few office team leaders and secretaries to invite him to dinner.

"Then what do you mean?"

"There are quite a lot of people coming to our department this time. I think since we have to hold the event together, we might as well hold it together. This way, these young people can get familiar with each other as soon as possible and better integrate into our big family."

"Well, that's a good idea. Do you want me to find a suitable restaurant?" Guo Wenjin asked.

"There are two ways. One is to find a bigger restaurant to eat out, and the other is to buy some ingredients and find a place to barbecue. However, you have to do it yourself. I want you to reveal these two options and see everyone's reactions."

"Okay, leave it to me. I guarantee I'll get it done." Guo Wenjin promised, patting his chest.
