Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

He Yuzhu had just walked out of the office building with his things in his hand, and before he had taken two steps, he suddenly heard a flattering voice: "Deputy Director He!" He turned around and saw Xu Damao appearing from nowhere, running towards him with a smile on his face.

"Deputy Director He, let me help you get it!" Xu Damao said, and took the bag from He Yuzhu without saying a word.

He Yuzhu looked at him with some confusion and said with a smile: "Xu Damao, where were you hiding just now? How come you suddenly appeared in front of me?"

Xu Damao chuckled and pointed to the corner next to him, saying, "I was hiding there. When I saw you coming out, I rushed over immediately."

He Yuzhu shook his head helplessly, thinking that this guy really knows how to find opportunities. He looked at Xu Damao again and asked curiously: "Xu Damao, haven't you always wanted to be a cadre? Why are you so attentive today?"

Xu Damao smiled ingratiatingly, leaned close to He Yuzhu's ear, and whispered, "Deputy Director He, it's your first day in office, how come no one can help you move things? I heard that the director can have an assistant, so...how about I be your assistant?"

He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Haha, Xu Damao, stop joking. You are the only projectionist in our factory. If you come to be my assistant, what will happen to the spiritual and entertainment life of all the employees in the factory? Then everyone will definitely blame me for poaching you."

Xu Damao quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, I promise I won't delay everyone's movie watching. Besides, I can also help you with some chores, such as serving tea and water, sorting documents and so on."

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao's expectant expression and laughed in his heart. He knew Xu Damao had always wanted to climb up the ladder, but he had just become the deputy factory director, so how could he have so much power to arrange a position for him. However, since Xu Damao took the initiative to come to him, He Yuzhu did not intend to refuse. After all, he might be useful in the future. So, he patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Xu Damao, since you are so enthusiastic, I will consider it. However, the specific matters will have to wait for me to discuss with other leaders before deciding."

Xu Damao had just said it casually, without much hope, but he heard the unexpected surprise from He Yuzhu. However, he was not too sad. After all, although He Yuzhu said so, it was not certain when he would actually do it. So he said with a smile: "Deputy Director He, I started practicing writing our factory's current affairs news according to your instructions. Now our section chief attaches great importance to me." After saying that, Xu Damao raised his eyebrows with a proud look on his face.

"Wow, I didn't expect Comrade Damao is so good at writing. It's only been a short time, but he has already impressed your section chief. If things continue like this, you won't have to look for me anymore, Damao. You can directly become the propaganda officer." He Yuzhu praised Xu Damao a little.

"It's thanks to Deputy Director He's good guidance, otherwise I would be like a headless fly flying around in the wild." Although Xu Damao's face was full of pride, he did not get carried away. He clearly remembered who had enabled him to reach where he is today.

"Deputy Director He, you see, I have achieved the first step you mentioned. What should I do next? Please give me some instructions." Xu Damao asked respectfully.

"Hmm..." He Yuzhu touched his chin, thought for a moment and then answered, "Next, in addition to continuing to work hard to improve your writing skills, you should pay more attention to various activities and events in the factory and actively participate in reporting. Colleagues, you can try to contribute to some external media to increase your popularity. Another important point is that you have to train a new projectionist. Only when you train a new projectionist can you completely get rid of the constraints of the projectionist on you and give your leader the opportunity to promote you."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Xu Damao nodded repeatedly, "Deputy Director He, you are the guiding light in my life, illuminating my way forward. I will definitely follow your instructions and work hard, and will never let you down." He secretly felt lucky that He Yuzhu, a master, had given him advice, otherwise he would have had a hard time making a breakthrough. Now, as long as he follows He Yuzhu's method step by step, he believes that it won't be long before he can become a propaganda officer as he wishes. Thinking of this, Xu Damao was full of expectations.

"By the way, Damao, I remember you have been urging your mother to introduce you to a partner since the year before last. It's been almost three years, why haven't you gotten married yet?" He Yuzhu instantly turned into a caring elder brother and started urging her to get married.

"Oh, don't mention it. My mother asked matchmakers to introduce many girls to me, but none of them looked good. Although I, Xu Damao, want to marry a girl from a cadre family, I also have requirements for her appearance. After all, we have to live together for the rest of our lives. I can't just marry any weirdo home." Xu Damao said with a depressed look on his face when he heard He Yuzhu ask this.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu was speechless, thinking that Xu Damao was really picky. But he also understood, after all, marriage is about a lifetime of happiness, who doesn't want to find a satisfactory partner? So, he comforted her: "Da Mao, actually you don't have to be too anxious, fate is sometimes a matter of luck. Maybe your girl is waiting for you to find her in some corner!"

However, Xu Damao seemed dissatisfied with this answer. He frowned and retorted, "Zhu Zi, you don't understand. My mother said that only by marrying a girl from a leading cadre's family can my career advance to a higher level. Moreover, I don't care about the other party's family background at all. I also have requirements for appearance. After all, we have to live together for the rest of our lives. We can't just marry any weirdo."

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao's sad face and sighed in his heart. He knew that Xu Damao had always been an ambitious person who wanted to improve his status through marriage. But he also understood that although there was nothing wrong with this idea, it was not easy to find a beautiful woman with a good family background. Didn't you see that Li Huaide's wife was not very good-looking? Besides, if she was really good-looking, it wouldn't be Li Huaide's turn to take advantage of her.

At this moment, He Yuzhu suddenly had an idea. He patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Da Mao, since you are about to become a propaganda officer with your own ability, you don't have to marry a leading cadre's wife. It would be much easier to just find a good-looking wife. To be honest, even if you marry the daughter of a low-level cadre, it will be of no use to you. After all, our factory is under the leadership of the ministry, and families that can afford to contact the ministry will probably look down on people like us."

Xu Damao felt that what He Yuzhu said made sense, but he was unwilling to give up his goal. He asked hesitantly, "But... if I marry a girl from an ordinary family, will it affect my future?"

He Yuzhu shook his head and explained patiently: "Da Mao, think about it, if you can become a propaganda officer through your own efforts, then even if you marry a girl from an ordinary family, it will not affect your ability. On the contrary, if you only rely on marriage to improve your status, once you lose this advantage, you will fall into a passive position. Therefore, I suggest that you keep your feet on the ground and rely on your own abilities to strive for a better future."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Xu Damao was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He knew in his heart that what He Yuzhu said made sense. Perhaps, he should let go of his obsession with the daughter of a cadre's family and re-examine his life plan. Yes, before, he wanted to marry a girl from a cadre's family, and he wanted to climb up with the help of his father-in-law's relationship. Now that he is almost there, there is no need to find a girl from a cadre's family. Then he can find a beautiful wife. "Thinking of this, Xu Damao couldn't help but feel a little excited, and the saliva in his mouth began to secrete faster.

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao's stupid face and immediately realized that Xu Damao was thinking about something inappropriate for children, so he coughed lightly.

Xu Damao was instantly awakened from his dream. Seeing He Yuzhu looking at him with a smirk on his face, his face immediately turned red. He quickly changed the subject and asked, "Deputy Director He, you are obviously the deputy director of our factory. Why don't you work in the office building? Why do you have to work in the newly established machinery manufacturing plant?"

He Yuzhu did not expose Xu Damao's thoughts. It was normal for a young man to miss his wife, so He Yuzhu replied: "Although I am the deputy director of our factory, I am also the director of the newly established machinery manufacturing plant. I am usually responsible for more matters of the machinery manufacturing plant, so I work there."

"Deputy Director He, you are in the machine manufacturing plant all day long and don't manage the affairs of our factory. Will this affect your authority in our factory?" Xu Damao said with a worried look on his face.

"It's okay. I just don't work in the factory office building. It's not like I don't handle the factory work. The steelmaking workshop is still under my management." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"What, the steelmaking workshop is also under your management? Your power is too great. You must be in charge of thousands of people." Xu Damao said in shock.

"What's wrong, Damao, isn't this normal?" He Yuzhu said to Xu Damao calmly.

Looking at He Yuzhu's indifferent expression, Xu Damao realized that He Yuzhu had long been accustomed to such scenes. "If I can manage so many people, it would be worth it even if I die." Xu Damao said with envy. "By the way, you are the deputy director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and the director of the Machinery Manufacturing Plant. What should I call you then?" Xu Damao suddenly thought of a tangled question.

"Haha, that's easy. If someone from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill comes to see me, just call me Deputy Director He. If someone from the Machinery Manufacturing Plant comes to see me, just call me Director He." He Yuzhu answered Xu Damao's very troubling question with a smile.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Xu Damao couldn't help but laugh at his own naivety. "Yeah, no matter what your identity is when you go to see He Yuzhu, you can just call him He Yuzhu by that identity."
