Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Xu Damao raised his head slightly to look at Wu Changzheng's face. Sure enough, his face looked a little bad, and it was completely dark. I guess no matter who it is, it would not be pleasant to be targeted for no reason like this.

I believe Wu Changzheng should have been mentally prepared. He had been excluded when the new tube-shaped building was built after the New Year. Today's is just an appetizer, and more powerful things are waiting for him.

Li Huaide picked up the teacup and took a sip and continued, "The next topic of today's meeting is the establishment of a singing committee. This singing committee is..."

Li Huaide said a lot, but to sum it up, the Song Committee will be the highest leadership body of the steel mill in the future, and all other people must work under the leadership of the Song Committee.

Li Huaide coughed lightly and took out a red-headed document and said, "Finally, I will read out the personnel appointment issued by the superiors: Comrade Li Huaide is conscientious and responsible in his work. During his tenure, he led the steel mill to achieve many breakthroughs. Comrade Li Huaide is hereby appointed as the director of the steel mill song committee and is responsible for all matters of the steel mill."

Wang Jinshan, who wished he could wear the same pants as Li Huaide, took the lead in applauding as soon as Li Huaide finished reading, and then warm applause filled the entire conference room.

Li Huaide waited until the applause died down before speaking again: "Don't have any other ideas. Although the factory has set up a new organization, the people are still the same. Everything will remain the same, and any changes will be notified in a timely manner. Everyone should still focus on the development of the factory and strive to make greater contributions to the country."

Then there was another round of warm applause, and Xu Damao followed suit and applauded. With this sentence, everyone had a bottom line in their hearts, and as for how much bottom line this was, it depended on how smart you were.

Li Huaide made a few more summaries and then adjourned the meeting, with a rather arbitrary demeanor. In the past, he would always ask the deputy factory directors if they had anything to do, but now he simply exempted them from the task.

I just don't know if the workers' picket team will show up again. Now it's impossible for me and Liu Haizhong to join in the fun. I don't know who he will use as a gun.

It seems that no matter what happened before, most people will become arrogant when they are proud, and this kind of aggravation will easily lead to trouble. From now on, the peaceful days will be gone forever, so you should take this as a warning.

Xu Damao shook his head imperceptibly, packed up his things and left the meeting room.

In the following period, the factory received documents from higher authorities one after another, and held meetings almost continuously. The entire steel mill was in a state of disarray, and the workers were slacking off all day long. No one put work and production first.

The publicity work was at the center of controversy at that time and happened to be noticed by a deputy director of the Song Committee. Xu Damao took the opportunity to say at a factory meeting that he was feeling very tired recently and there were a lot of things going on at the branch factory, so he did not want to continue to be in charge of the publicity work and the branch factory.

Li Huaide also knew that Xu Damao didn't want to get involved in these things, but there were some things that had to be done. So he naturally agreed, but asked Xu Damao to be in charge of safety and inspection work, that is, the Security Department and the Inspection Section.

Although the Security Department has been receiving salaries from the steel mill, it is under the dual leadership of the steel mill and the superior public security bureau, and is considered to be in a semi-independent state.

Xu Damao thought about it and decided that he would not take the power, and the Security Department would remain the same as it was before, and Zheng Gang was a person he could trust. He did not have to worry about it and it was a good place for retirement, so he agreed.

As for the Inspection Department, there is no need to mention it. Several of his subordinates became team leaders back then, and the section chief is his close brother Fan Sizhe. It can be said that this is another base camp for Xu Damao.

So, the issue of work adjustment was decided. The meeting just ended in the morning and it was announced over the loudspeaker in the afternoon.

As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are worried.

People who had a good relationship with Xu Damao, such as Fan Sizhe, his two apprentices, Liu Haizhong, Zhao Guodong and others, were worried about whether Xu Damao would lose power in this work adjustment, and they all came to his office to inquire about the news.

Those who were not on good terms with him were secretly applauding, such as Wu Changzheng, Qin Huairu and the deputy director. Wu Changzheng was not having an easy time these days, and he said he never got tired of watching this kind of infighting.

The next day after the division of labor was adjusted, Xu Damao went to the Security Department to find Zheng Gang after work. Zheng Gang can be regarded as an evergreen tree in the steel mill. He has been sitting in the position of director of the Security Department for so many years.

When Xu Damao was still a projectionist, he was already the section chief; when Xu Damao became the section chief, he was still the section chief; when Xu Damao took advantage of the steel rolling mill's upgrade to become the director, Zheng Gang also became the director; when Xu Damao became the deputy director, Zheng Gang was still the director.

Xu Damao felt that Zheng Gang's main point was that no matter how hard the wind and rain hit me, I would remain unmoved. I would not get involved in the intrigues among you, I would just live on my own land and do my job well.

Xu Damao knocked on the glass and walked into Zheng Gang's office. "Brother Zheng, I have nowhere to go. I have been assigned to our security department."

"Brother Xu, I heard about your story yesterday. If someone else came, it would not work. But if you come, there is no doubt that I will obey your orders and follow your instructions." Zheng Gang said.

Over the years, he was aware of what Xu Damao had done. It could be said that he was the only good leader in the entire steel mill who truly cared about the workers.

Over the years, he has worked with Xu Damao several times, and he is very impressed and recognizes Xu Damao's character and ability, so he supports Xu Damao's work abnormally.

"You're too polite, brother. Everything will remain the same as it was before. If there are any problems in the future, we can just discuss and handle them together." Xu Damao said politely.

Zheng Gang was also quite pleased, thinking that he had made the right choice. Even if I said that I fully support your work, you can't just be so careless and show no respect, right? At least show some respect for yourself, right?

"Brother Zheng, how about this? I'm new here, so please treat everyone above the captain level in our security department to a meal together on Saturday night."

"Ah, there are quite a few people above the captain level. Isn't it too expensive?"

"It's okay. My salary has been quite high these years, so there's no need to save money for me. I also called a few brothers from the Inspection Department to join us."

Zheng Gang also knew that the Inspection Department had always been Xu Damao's private territory. Moreover, they had cooperated with the Inspection Department many times and were quite familiar with each other.

"Okay, I'll go and inform everyone in a minute. Everyone except those working the night shift will be here on Saturday night," Zheng Gang promised. He knew that this was the new leader's way of winning people over and getting to know everyone so that they could work better, so he was very cooperative.

"Okay, then the location will be the courtyard house at No. 18, Mianhua Hutong, near Qianmen. That is the yard of a relative of mine, and no one will disturb him since he is working away from home. We can drink to our heart's content at night," said Xu Damao.

This yard was one of the yards that Xu Damao bought later. It was cleaned up in advance specifically for entertaining guests, as it was easy for things to get bad if you eat and drink too much outside during special periods.
