Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

It was almost noon when we arrived in the capital.

After saying goodbye to a group of reluctant young wives, Li Weijun and Xu Damao, who was covered in dust and smoked by coal slag, hired a horse-drawn carriage and drove to the steel mill.

Li Weijun and Xu Damao could not hide the smiles on their faces, and both thought that the projectionist position was a sure thing for them.

Xu Damao, in particular, had his face clearly marked with the look of a villain having achieved success, and kept showing off the two letters of introduction from Cantou Village and Zhaojia Village in front of his chest.

He had no idea that his cheap uncle Ma Xuewu had stuffed the brown paper envelope full of newspapers.

I'm just waiting for this ignorant brat to foolishly jump into the pit...

Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

In the office of Propaganda Section Chief Wang Fuchun, Wang Fuchun looked at the two people who were dusty and tired with a smile on his face.

Without even asking about the screening results, his eyes narrowed into slits on his bloated face.

"Comrade Damao, you really lived up to the high trust placed in you by the organization and didn't bring shame to your father! You successfully completed the projection task assigned by the factory and proved with your strength that you can handle things on your own. You are a good seedling worth cultivating. I hope you can stay calm and not be too arrogant..."

Li Weijun's ears were almost callused after hearing all these formulaic words.

Wang Fuchun was in his thirties, and he was fond of sensual pleasures, especially drinking. Once he drank, he would be drunk all day long. He loved drinking so much that all the cadres in the Propaganda Department were miserable. He was a real drunkard.

In the original owner's memory, only Xu Damao's father Xu Fugui could pee in the same pot with Wang Fuchun.

Therefore, it is natural to be optimistic about Xu Damao. After all, his predecessor was a taciturn person who could not produce a single word even with three sticks.

One is the son of an old drinking buddy, and the other is a member of the gang, a marginal character who only plays a supporting role in the publicity department.

It can be said that this projectionist assessment.

If Wang Fuchun had not been concerned about his relationship with Li Huaide and was not careful about being too drastic, he would have directly chosen Xu Damao.

"Section Chief, you don't know, but today I finally understand what it means that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. The evil people in the commune are all very unruly. I haven't had any rice or water for three days, and I'm starving."

"But thanks to the section chief's care and support, I got two of the three letters of introduction. Now some people should be convinced, right?"

Xu Damao proudly took out the letter of introduction from his arms, and after showing off his sympathy, he also did not forget to denigrate Li Weijun for overestimating his own abilities.

"Well, that's a good one!"

After Wang Fuchun took the brown paper envelope, he threw it on the table without even looking at it.

"The organization has seen your sacrifice in showing movies in the countryside this time. I will personally reward you with a meat meal coupon. You can enjoy braised pork at noon and treat yourself."

Xu Damao was overjoyed, and after receiving the meal coupon, an idea suddenly occurred to him.

"Thank you for your cultivation, Section Chief! By the way, Section Chief, my father is hosting a banquet at Fengze Garden tonight to celebrate this happy event. We can drink as much green-necked Xifeng wine as we want. I hope you will honor me with your presence."

"Of course, of course, tell your father that I, Wang Fuchun, will not return home until I am drunk tonight!"

Looking at Wang Fuchun who was grinning from ear to ear, Xu Damao looked flattering, but secretly cursed in his heart: "You old bastard, you always get drunk before you go home. I can't bear to drink that Xifeng wine! You are such a loser."

Li Weijun, who was standing by, saw that the battle hadn't even started yet, but the old man and the young one were actually having a celebratory banquet in advance.

He quickly cleared his throat, took out the letter of introduction from his bag, and said with full energy.

"Chief Wang, Li Weijun has successfully completed the screening mission. I am now sending you a letter introducing Qinjia Village and Guantou Village. Please review it, Chief Wang!"

"Li Weijun, you also have two letters of introduction!"

Upon hearing this, the two people who were celebrating froze.

Wang Fuchun opened the brown paper envelope doubtfully, and was completely stunned when he saw the bright red stamp and the signatures of the respective secretaries inside.

Introduction, what is introduction?

How come there are four letters of introduction for three villages?

Looking at Li Weijun's confident and confident appearance.

Xu Damao completely lost his patience and became extremely angry.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Li Weijun, don't pretend. I have the letters of introduction from Cantou Village and Zhaojia Village. They were handed to me personally by Secretary Ma and Secretary Zhao. I am a real projectionist. Section Chief Wang, you must open your eyes and distinguish the real from the fake!"

Li Weijun smiled contemptuously: "Xu Damao, everything must be based on facts. You are boasting too much and want to lie to get away with it. Section Chief Wang has a sharp eye. If you have the ability, open the letter of introduction and let people see whether it is real or not."

Wang Fuchun was caught off guard by this sudden change, while the people who were originally drinking tea and reading newspapers, seeing that there was something fun to watch, immediately gathered around him jokingly.

"Xu Damao, real gold is not afraid of fire. If yours is real, why don't you open it and let everyone see it!"

"Yes, yes, Xu Damao, you are not a grown-up girl meeting your parents-in-law, why should you be shy? You will know whether it is true or not once you open it!"

Everyone started to make a fuss, but Xu Damao, who was being roasted on the fire, remained fearless.

"Tear it up if you want. The letter of introduction written in black and white cannot be fake!"

Until now, poor Xu Damao is still being played around by the old fox Ma Xuewu.

Then, Xu Damao faced the darkest moment in his life.

After Xu Damao violently ripped open the bulging brown paper envelope, a thick stack of cut newspapers scattered on the ground like snowflakes...

"It's bad, I've been tricked!"

Xu Damao's heart skipped a beat and his eyes became dull.

Everyone was shocked and booed.

Li Weijun walked forward calmly and found Ma Xuewu's crooked original handwriting on a blank newspaper.

There are only four words: Next time for sure!

"Oh? Next time for sure? Xu Damao, Brother Damao, is this what you always say is a done deal? Why do I feel like you are just talking nonsense? It's just thunder and little rain, isn't this just fooling people?"

Li Weijun raised the corner of his mouth and showed Ma Xuewu's "original works" to everyone one by one.

There was an uproar among the crowd. Xu Damao was well-known for being a bad guy in the Propaganda Department. Unexpectedly, the retribution came so quickly.

"Hey, Comrade Li Weijun, there's a newspaper in the envelope. Maybe Secretary Ma put it in by mistake? It's not credible, not credible!"

"Zhang Yang, go to the communications office right away and call the commune to find out what's going on. Check to see if there was a mistake. Let's look at the other one."

Wang Fuchun wiped the cold sweat from his fat face. For the sake of the Green Neck Xifeng Liquor that evening, he had to bite the bullet.

"Yes, yes, yes, I still have it! I still have it! It's from Zhao Kaitai of Zhaojia Village. Secretary Zhao personally handed it to me. There must be a letter of introduction inside!"

Xu Damao's mind seemed to explode at this moment, and he opened the last envelope as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

What was inside was not cut-out newspapers, but a complete and correct letter of introduction.

"Comrade Li Weijun, the projectionist from your factory, has come to the village to project. During his work, he was sincere and kind, outstanding, hardworking, and clear in his position... He has successfully completed the projection task. I hereby inform you!"
