Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

Xu Damao, who was already very smart, immediately realized the strangeness of the matter after this incident. After being stunned for a moment, he glanced at Director Yang who had a gloomy face beside him, and wondered in his heart, could it be that the little girl named Ji Xiaotao and Director Yang were related by chance?

Or maybe he was some remarkable person. After realizing the seriousness of the situation, Xu Damao, who was well aware of the principle that a real man should be able to bend and stretch, hurriedly added his explanation with a smile.

"Director Yang, I was blind and didn't recognize the value of a valuable item. I accidentally offended Ji Xiaotao. I apologize to you. Just ignore what I said. Director Yang, just pretend you didn't hear anything. Just treat it as a fart."

Even though Xu Damao was so humble at the moment, the shrewd Director Yang would not let Xu Damao escape easily. If the perverse Ji Xiaotao came to him to question him, then he would have to take the blame for Xu Damao.

So Director Yang almost didn't think twice and scolded with a dark face: "Xu Damao, I thought you were a man who knew how to respect others, who knew the importance of things, and who you could offend and who you couldn't offend. But your performance really disappointed me. As for Ji Xiaotao, you must find a way to apologize and get her forgiveness. Otherwise, our steel rolling mill is too small, so you should find another job."

As Director Yang spoke, he gently stroked Xu Damao's face with his palm. Although the force was light, the threat was self-evident.

To Director Yang, one was a big shot whom he could not afford to offend, and the other was just a projectionist who served him. There was no need to weigh and compare which was more important.

Any hesitation would be a disrespect to Ji Xiaotao and a mockery of his own IQ despite having been in a high position for so many years.

These words were like a bolt from the blue for Xu Damao, who had finally had a chance to become a projectionist. He was stunned for a moment, then forced himself to smile, which was uglier than crying.

He begged for mercy in a hurry, saying, "Director Yang, please don't. I have made contributions to the steel mill. During this period, whenever Director Yang asked me to show a movie, I would show it. I would show any movie he asked me to show. Even when Director Yang wanted to watch a movie in the middle of the night, I would rush over without hesitation. Even if I have no contributions, I have worked hard. You don't know Ji Xiaotao's temper. She is a firecracker and will explode at any moment."

Faced with Xu Damao's miserable plea for mercy, Director Yang seemed much more cold-blooded and ruthless. He glanced at Xu Damao coldly, as if he was looking at an insignificant little character.

"Then I don't care. This is something you should worry about. If it's because of you and our Asia Steel Plant, can you bear the burden? Song Daguo, I'm giving you an instruction. Xu Damao has three hours to solve this problem. If he can't solve it, you'll just handcuff Xu Damao and put him in solitary confinement."

Although what Director Yang said sounded alarmist, Xu Damao had no doubt about the truth behind it. At that time, the steel rolling mill and the public security outside were actually two sets of teams.

The steel mill has its own security system and regulations. Any crime committed by the employees of the steel mill and how it should be punished are entirely up to the steel mill to resolve internally, and the outside public security has no right to interfere.

This is a true portrayal of treating the factory as home, an award without any water in it. As long as one is a worker in the steel mill, life and death are basically inseparable from the steel mill, this important group.

Accustomed to a comfortable life, most employees naturally cherish this precious iron rice bowl. What if they were told that in less than 20 years, all major factories would reduce their staff to survive the cold winter and a large-scale wave of layoffs would occur?

These employees who hide in their comfort zones will definitely sneer and look down on the talk, thinking it is alarmist talk.

But the cruel reality is that nothing is constant. Running water never rots, and door hinges never get rotten.

Therefore, Director Yang's threats and warnings were basically equivalent to sentencing Xu Damao to death. If the problem could not be solved, he would have to face imprisonment.

Xu Damao had never expected that just a pretty girl could have such great power. He now regretted his previous behavior.

However, the matter was done. Seeing Director Yang leaving with his hands behind his back, Xu Damao could only turn to Song Daguo for help, hoping that the security chief could come up with some solution.

Song Daguo was helpless in this matter. The only reason he could get the position of Chief of the Security Department was his utter loyalty. He was promoted to Chief because he was loyal enough to Director Yang.

As for his talent, although he is not a good-for-nothing or an empty-headed person, he is very mediocre. Faced with this thorny problem, even Xu Damao, who has always been smart, is helpless, not to mention Song Daguo.

However, as the saying goes, even a wise man will make mistakes in a thousand considerations, and even a fool will gain something in a thousand considerations. Song Daguo racked his brains and suddenly had an idea.

"Da Mao, judging from what Director Yang said, we cannot afford to offend Ji Xiaotao. Haven't you been dating Director Lou's daughter recently? In my opinion, they are both lesbians, so they must have something in common. Besides, Director Lou is a well-known entrepreneur and a doer after all. He must have many friends and relatives over the years. If you can mediate, we can arrange a dinner and forget all grudges by laughing. Then the matter will be settled."

Not to mention, Song Daguo's idea was quite feasible. Xu Damao, in a desperate attempt to find a cure, actually came up with a great idea. After thinking about it for a while, he found it brilliant. Without even having time to thank Song Daguo, he hurriedly rode his bicycle to the Lou family.

To be honest, Xu Damao was still quite resistant to his future father-in-law, who was a powerful figure without getting angry. He always acted much weaker in front of him, and sometimes he even seemed to be cautious when breathing.

In addition, Director Lou started from scratch when he was young, and he looked down on Xu Damao's cowardly appearance. Naturally, he had no good temper and patience towards Xu Damao.

As the saying goes, people dislike each other. If possible, Xu Damao would not even want to look at Director Lou, but the situation is stronger than him now.

Under the current circumstances, the only person who is capable and willing to save Yijie is her future father-in-law.

Fortunately, Lou Xiao'e is a gentle person, and her character is as tolerant as water. More importantly, she is easily influenced. If Xu Damao says a few soft words and plays a pitiful role to persuade Lou Xiao'e, Director Lou might really be willing to make a big move to save himself.

Although doing so would make Xu Damao's status in the Lou family even lower, he had to choose the lesser of two evils. As matters were urgent, Xu Damao did not care about these details. He only wanted to keep his position as a projectionist as soon as possible to avoid being locked up in a small dark room for reflection and confinement.

Xu Damao rushed to Lou's house in a hurry, but Li Weijun and Ji Xiaotao had long forgotten about this matter.

Especially Ji Xiaotao's rough and careless character. Even though Xu Damao was scared to death and looked like he was facing a great enemy, Ji Xiaotao didn't even know Xu Damao's name. She simply treated Xu Damao as an outsider and didn't take him seriously at all.

"Wow, is this soy milk? This is obviously foot washing water, it's salty, sour and smelly. If you don't know, you might think it's the water for soaking insoles. Li Weijun, tell me quickly, did you collude with the merchants to deceive me and use this water to play a trick on me?"

At this moment, Ji Xiaotao almost vomited after taking a sip of soy milk. She really didn't expect that the famous soy milk tasted so strange that she could vomit bile after taking a sip.

Li Weijun looked at Ji Xiaotao who had a bitter face, and shrugged helplessly: "Comrade Ji Xiaotao, if you say that, then I have to argue with you. I have told you before that bean juice tastes weird, and we don't eat it ourselves. You insisted on trying it, and now you have suffered a loss. It is unfair to blame others for it."

After finally rinsing her mouth with clean water and barely getting relief, Ji Xiaotao started to act like a rogue: "I don't care, I don't care, this bean juice is so stinky that I can't drink it at all, it's even worse than the West Lake vinegar fish I ate!"
