Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Today is Saturday, another busy day.

The matter of Sha Zhu had been investigated clearly yesterday, and I had also informed Deputy Director Li. How to deal with it depends on the game between the leaders, and it has nothing to do with Xu Damao.

Xu Damao first went to the Propaganda Department and chatted with Section Chief Yang. He also found a job for himself. The factory wanted to organize a dinner party before the Spring Festival, and a party after the dinner party, in order to celebrate the Spring Festival in advance and to reward the hard-working workers. The party fell on Xu Damao's shoulders.

The main task today was to hold the establishment meeting of the Supervision Department to discuss the personnel grouping and the punishment for violations of rules and regulations. Fortunately, I asked Fan Sizhe about the location of the Supervision Department's office yesterday, otherwise I would be embarrassed if I couldn't find the door today.

Strictly speaking, this cannot be called an office, but a warehouse converted. The conditions are a bit harsh, but it is spacious. There is really no other way. There are not enough offices in the old office building. In addition, the inspection department is a newly established department. Who can compete with whom for an office? We can only temporarily clear out a warehouse and simply arrange it.

As soon as Xu Damao entered the door, someone took the initiative to greet him, and he responded with a smile. Now Xu Damao's prestige in the factory is still relatively high. The commune rescued people, distributed wild boar meat, taught Sha Zhu a lesson, and this time he solved the case of the croton in the cafeteria. That's right, yesterday's incident was spread by Fan Sizhe and several other people from the inspection department. It was a hot topic early in the morning, and it was almost known to the whole factory.

Xu Damao looked around and saw desks and chairs for work, but the warehouse had few windows and was located at a high position, so the light was dim. Even in the daytime, he had to turn on the lights to see clearly. There was no heating in the warehouse, so he temporarily built a few iron stoves for heating. As for the section chief's office, there was no such thing, but it was simply separated by wooden boards and used as an office.

Xu Damao saw that there was still a lot of empty space, so he pointed to one side and said, "We can put a few bunk beds there later so that we can have a rest after lunch. Our current conditions are quite difficult, but we comrades must overcome them together."

Seeing his leader speak, Fan Sizhe hurriedly followed, "Yes, Chief Xu, I'll take someone to the logistics department to pick it up later."

As everyone was talking, Cui Yong and Yang Weimin also walked in. The two met at the factory gate and came in together.

Cui Yong asked: "What's the excitement about?"

"Hey, Deputy Section Chief Xu said that the conditions are tough and we need to find a way to improve them. He wants to get a few bunk beds and put them there for lunch break."

Cui Yong glanced at Xu Damao and said, "Okay, the conditions here are a bit difficult, this is a good idea, I fully support it."

Then he coughed and said, "We have completed the task assigned to us by the leaders yesterday, but our establishment meeting was delayed. I think we should not bother the factory today. Let's just put the table together and hold a meeting directly. We can be comfortable on our own territory."

Everyone agreed when they heard this. Nonsense, you dare to oppose what your boss said, it's not a matter of principle. So everyone started to work, and soon they put the tables together.

Cui Yong naturally sat in the first seat, Xu Damao and Yang Weimin sat on both sides, and everyone else took their seats.

"Well, today is the first plenary meeting of our Inspection Department. There are a lot of things to do, so I'll keep it short. The first thing is the personnel arrangement. I plan to set up three groups, each with nine people, led by the three of us. In addition, each group will have a team leader, who can nominate himself or be recommended by everyone. We will discuss and decide later."

"The second is the issue of punishment for employees. We must firmly implement the principle of fairness and justice, and deal with each person we find guilty. We must not abuse our power for personal gain or treat work as a place where you can sell favors to others."

"Finally, no matter where you worked before, since you are assigned to the Inspection Department, you are my people, Cui Yong, and you must not be a coward no matter where you are. If you are bullied or wronged, fight back. If you can't beat me, I will stand up for you!"

Rushing

There was warm applause all around.

Xu Damao couldn't help but applaud. Cui Yong is quite something. He won people's hearts with just a few simple words. Did he look at me before to warn me that he was the boss of the Inspection Department? It seems that he still hasn't entered Li Huaide's core circle. Everyone knows that Li Huaide's real core is married to Lou Bancheng's daughter. Unless he makes a particularly significant contribution, his life will be like this.

Cui Yong raised his hands and pressed them down, and the applause gradually died down. "Okay, I've finished what I wanted to say. Damao, Weimin, both of you say a few words too."

Yang Weimin cleared his throat and said, "This time, the superior leaders approved the establishment of an inspection department in our factory. This is an affirmation and attention to us. We must live up to the trust of leaders at all levels and work hard to do a good job..." Yang Weimin talked for a long time, but in summary it was all empty nonsense.

Xu Damao lit a cigarette and started smoking. He felt that Yang Weimin was a bit boastful and unrealistic, with little substance in his brain. It was like he had wasted his time going to high school and only became a deputy section chief because of Director Yang's help.

After Yang Weimin had finally finished speaking, Cui Yong said, "Da Mao, you can say something too."

Xu Damao nodded, "Then I'll just say a few words. Our inspection department has just been established, and the conditions are quite difficult. I'm not going to be pretentious, I plan to improve our office environment first, install the heater first, the smell of this stove is too choking and it's not safe. In addition, I suggest that we collect some money and tickets to go to the cafeteria to book a few tables at noon today, and have a simple dinner to bond with each other. What do you think, Chief?"

Cui Yong thought about it and felt that this was a good suggestion. It would not only help him get to know everyone but also boost morale, so he nodded in agreement.

Yang Weimin's face turned ugly. If Xu Damao didn't come, then I would be the one doing it! But the dinner party was indeed a good thing, and he had no reason to stop it, so he nodded.

Xu Damao went on to say, "Everyone knows that I have things to do with the Propaganda Department, so I can't stay here all the time. If I'm not here, you can go directly to the Propaganda Department to find me. You can come to me for help with any problems you have at work or in life. I will provide you with logistical support."

Xu Damao said this to show that he didn't want to compete with Cui Yong for power. I'm already in charge of logistics, what else can you do? I support your work, and we should be united in facing the outside world. Secondly, he was really too busy. The Propaganda Department already had a lot of things to do at the end of the year, and we also had to organize a party. Just thinking about it made him feel overwhelmed.

There was another round of warm applause from below. Everyone in the factory knew that Chief Xu of the Propaganda Department was a righteous man with strong handling capabilities, wide personal connections and many ways to get a lot of good things. Many leaders now asked him for help in getting good things, and now he also had this opportunity.
