Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

A week passed in the blink of an eye. Xu Damao got up early in the morning to wash and cook. His strengthened body was full of strength. Lou Xiaoe was still awake. After all, she was tossed too hard last night. Some parts of her body were red and swollen. It was understandable that she couldn't take it and needed to rest for a while. After eating, Xu Damao rode his bicycle to work. On the way, he greeted his familiar co-workers from time to time.

After hiding at home for three days, Sha Zhu went back to work after being persuaded by Yi Zhonghai. After all, it was not a good idea to hide at home all the time. How could he get money to eat without working?

But this time he was not sent to the canteen to cook, but was assigned to the foundry workshop to work indefinitely, and he also had to pay the factory 200 yuan to buy various cooking tools and tables, chairs and benches in the kitchen. Fortunately, Sha Zhu had not been sucked dry by Qin Huairu yet, and he had saved some money, but this also made Sha Zhu's wallet shrink a lot, which made him hate Xu Dabao even more. Until now, he still believed that Xu Dabao secretly harmed him.

Director Yang did not protect Sha Zhu this time. First, the incident was too serious and the price Director Yang would have to pay to protect Sha Zhu was too high. Second, who would dare to employ a cook who put laxatives in the food? Anyway, Yang Wenjing did not dare to employ him.

The canteen director Xu Dabao became the scapegoat. After all, after Xu Damao's analysis by the method of elimination, he was the most suspicious. Even though there was no direct evidence, he still suffered a lot of penalties. He paid 50 yuan in compensation for the factory's losses and had his salary reduced by one level due to poor management. He also hated Sha Zhu to the core.

When Xu Damao just arrived at his office, his two apprentices had already cleaned up the place and filled the thermos with boiling water.

Xu Damao chatted with his two apprentices for a while, and gave them some pointers on the problems they encountered in projection before sending them back. Then he leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, and thought about his recent work.

The Inspection Department hadn't had any important matters recently, just some minor slaps to catch a few sneaky people. He only needed to go there occasionally, and Xu Damao estimated that he was just a temporary transition, and it wouldn't be long before he had to make room for someone else.

The Propaganda Department does have a gala at the end of the year, but it would be pointless to have a small one in my factory, so I decided to have a big one this year and invite the army's art troupe for both the military and civilians to have fun together. However, this matter still needs to be organized by Deputy Director Li, as I don't have that much face.

He could also write a few revolutionary songs and take this opportunity to show off. Xu Damao did what he said, and spent a thousand points to redeem advanced lyrics and music, and began to search his mind for memories. In his previous life, he had participated in many choruses in the factory to celebrate the National Day.

Finally, Xu Damao selected some songs that have not appeared yet, such as "My Motherland and I", "Heroic Hymn", "We Are Walking on the Road", "Green Flowers in the Army", "I Dedicate Oil to the Motherland", etc. He planned to submit them to the newspaper in batches, and then select some good singers from the factory to rehearse, do a few solos and choruses, and then see if there are any proficient in musical instruments to arrange a few solos. Xu Damao believes that even if his own new songs cannot surpass the art troupe, they will not be left far behind.

Xu Damao took out the manuscript paper and began to write quickly. He was busy until noon and finally finished the lyrics and music score.

After lunch at the cafeteria, Xu Damao went straight into Li Huaide's office. He first took out three small porcelain bottles and handed them to Li Huaide, making a profit of more than 300 yuan. Then he proposed the idea of ​​inviting the art troupe to participate in the factory's year-end party and setting up some awards to increase everyone's enthusiasm for participation.

Li Huaide agreed very readily. His father-in-law came from the army and happened to have connections in this area. Besides, this was indeed a good thing that could make him look good. He could show off his background and help improve his prestige in the factory.

Li Huaide said, "Da Mao, this time Sha Zhu's incident caused a big stir. I directly demoted him to the foundry workshop indefinitely. Even Xu Dabao was implicated. But our factory is still short of a useful chef. You often travel around. Do you know any good chefs?"

Xu Damao took out two cigarettes and handed them to Li Huaide. He then took out a Zippo lighter and lit them for the two of them. "Let me think about this." Xu Damao couldn't help but think of An Jiahe's face, which then merged with Nan Yi's face. Xu Damao shuddered. He couldn't think about this. It was simply a childhood trauma.

"It seems that there really is such a person. His name is Nan Yi. He works in our suburban machine repair factory. I have been there to show movies before. However, this person's skills are good, but the ingredients are not very good. His ancestors used to be imperial chefs, and his family also opened a restaurant. He has suffered some consequences."

Li Huaide instantly became interested. Since he was the descendant of the imperial chef, his cooking skills must be extraordinary. If he really brought him here, wouldn't it be a treat for a foodie like him? Would he be able to show off in front of his superiors and other factory leaders?

"Okay, then leave the affairs of the art troupe to me, and the matter of finding the chef will be left to you. You must bring the person to me." Li Huaide said with a smile.

"This matter is quite difficult, mainly because Nan Yi is a stubborn person. He also likes Ding Qiunan, the factory doctor in their factory. If you want him to come, I'm afraid you have to give me one more place." Xu Damao said with some embarrassment.

"Oh, are they in a relationship or are they already married? This is not impossible. The level of our factory's medical room is indeed very average, and I am just thinking of recruiting a new doctor with a higher level." Li Huaide said after thinking for a while.

"As far as I know, Doctor Ding seems to have graduated from a medical college. His professional ability should be pretty good. Most importantly, he is beautiful. He is known as the Iceberg Beauty and is praised as the flower of the machine repair factory." Xu Damao chuckled.

Li Huaide was somewhat interested, but he would not force others. He preferred to seize someone's advantage and force him to submit. "Okay, I understand. If Nan Yi really doesn't want to come, you can transfer the factory doctor here. But you have to hurry up and do this. A leader will come to inspect in a week."

Xu Damao responded, and the two chatted for a while about the party prizes before leaving. He casually strolled into the broadcasting room and saw only a new girl inside, but Xu Damao didn't know her.

"Who are you?" the little girl asked.

"Oh, I'm Xu Damao, deputy chief of the Propaganda Department. I came here today because I have a script that you need to broadcast about the New Year's Eve party." After Xu Damao said this, he took out a manuscript from his bag and handed it over.

"Oh, hello, Chief Xu, I'm new here. My name is Chen Xiaolan, and I'm not familiar with the staff yet. I'll help you look at the manuscript, and then I'll report before leaving get off work." Chen Xiaolan stood up and took the manuscript with both hands.

"Okay, I don't have anything else to do. You go ahead and do your work. I'm leaving now." Xu Damao said and walked out of the radio station.
