Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Xu Damao nodded helplessly. He still hadn't decided on a name for his daughter, and even he himself was not satisfied with any of the names.

Lin Chan was sitting on the bed talking to Lou Xiao'e, with a tightly wrapped kid next to her.

Chen Xu stood next to Lin Chan, and the little moon in his arms looked at the tiny creature with sparkling eyes. He really wanted to reach out and touch the other's little face, but he was held by his father and his hands could not reach it. After waving in the air for a long time, he had to give up helplessly.

Unlike Lin Chan, Lou Xiao'e is not in a condition to go home right after giving birth, and she will probably have to stay in the hospital for a few days.

Before Chen Xu had a few words with Xu Damao, Lou's mother and Xu's mother came in with baskets. When they saw Chen Xu's family, they greeted them with a smile.

Chen Xu had met Lou's mother twice. Lou Xiao'e looked very much like his mother. Both were plump, which was in line with the aesthetic standards of that era.

The Lou family and the Xu family have a good relationship. After all, Xu Damao's parents used to work for the Lou family, so they are also family members.

Chen Xu didn't stay for long before he said goodbye and left with his wife and children.

The only people he was familiar with were Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e, but he was not familiar with the Lou family.

Little Yueyue was a little depressed and didn't understand why her father didn't let her play with her little sister.

"No rush, there will be plenty of time to play with your little sister when your Aunt Lou comes back."

Chen Xu said this, but in his heart he was thinking that Lou Xiao'e might not be able to stay in the courtyard for much longer. Now the Spring Festival has just passed, and it is already 1964, and there are only two and a half years left before the storm officially starts.

the next day.

The deaf old lady in the backyard of the courtyard looked at Li Xiulan helplessly.

The deaf old lady didn't care much about Li Xiulan, and she had her own thoughts when she brought her together with He Daqing.

But then again, in the courtyard, Li Xiulan is indeed the person the deaf old lady cares about the most. After all, she is the only one who will always take care of the old lady, and has been doing so for ten years.

Looking at Li Xiulan, who was sitting next to her and feeling a little uneasy, the deaf old lady was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed to help ask.

Li Xiulan has never asked her for anything over the years. Even though she dislikes Sha Zhu now, she still has to help him because Li Xiulan has taken care of her for decades.

Li Xiulan was very happy. Sha Zhu was her adopted son now. He was still young and couldn't just continue to be decadent like this. It would always be a good thing for him to find a job to support his family.

Chen Xu got up very early. The steel rolling mill had just started operation, so he still needed to do some work to show off his work.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the factory, he was called by Li Huaide.

"Xiao Chen, are you interested in adding to the burden..."

Chen Xu felt helpless. In fact, he was quite comfortable as the deputy director of the purchasing department and didn't really want to move. But Li Huaide didn't think so.

Li Huaide, who regards Chen Xu as his right-hand man, thinks it is a waste for Chen Xu to stay in the purchasing department. It would be better for him to be transferred to the logistics department. After all, he has more power and can help him better.

Mr. Li has always valued capable people.

The Purchasing Department is just a subordinate department of the Logistics Department. It might have been difficult for Chen Xu to get promoted in the past, but things have been different since he was awarded the Model Worker title. It is normal for Chen Xu to rise rapidly.

After Li Huaide became the deputy director of the Logistics Department, the former deputy director took over his position as logistics director, and the position of deputy director has remained vacant ever since.

Li Huaide thought about it and finally thought of Chen Xu as his right-hand man.

Although the deputy director of the purchasing department and the deputy director of the logistics department look similar, their actual powers are very different. Moreover, Li Huaide is in charge of the canteen, which is very lucrative, so he would not trust ordinary people.

"Director, if this happens, the information I purchased from there will be wasted."

"What's the waste? Who in the logistics department isn't a purchaser? Don't Lao Chen and I both run around getting supplies? There's really no difference. You just have to help look after the cafeteria. I don't have time to take care of so many things."

The canteen has a canteen director, but he does not have the authority to mobilize logistical supplies. This must be signed by the logistics department before the canteen can take them away.

As the canteen of a large factory with tens of thousands of employees, how to distribute the daily supplies is a troublesome matter. Although these things are done by the people below, they also need to be verified by the logistics department. After all, this signature means being responsible.

Li Huaide used to have time to manage it, but now that he has become the deputy director, he no longer has the energy to do so. The most important aspect of the steel rolling mill now is production.

Compared with the canteen, the production logistics support in the workshop is what Li Huaide needs to pay attention to.

Chen Xu had a headache. This was the side effect of having the halo. Compared to those who wanted to climb up the ladder, Chen Xu, who did not take his position seriously, had more opportunities for promotion.

After all, he is now a celebrity in the steel mill and its business circles, and a living signboard of the steel mill. For a model worker like him, there is no obstacle to promotion when his administrative level is still low.

"Then I'll trouble you, Director."

Chen Xu finally had no choice but to take on this burden. Although the profits were great, he really didn't care about it. How could any profits compare to the world?

"Just wait for good news. I feel more at ease knowing someone is watching over the cafeteria."

Li Huaide is not afraid of his subordinates' greed for money, but he is afraid of those useless people who are only greedy and do nothing. He is not afraid of god-like opponents, but he is afraid of pig-like teammates. The canteen is also a very important part of the steel mill, and there can be no problems there.

He felt that he knew Chen Xu's abilities and personality well. Although he accepted the benefits offered by him, he really didn't care much about money and power. In Lao Li's opinion, this kind of person was the type who was content with a small fortune and could be used with confidence.

In fact, he had asked Director Chen from the Purchasing Department before, but Director Chen was obviously not familiar with the canteen, and now Director Chen had the final say in the Purchasing Department.

He is also Li Huaide's favorite general, and if he, a section-level director, becomes the deputy director of the Logistics Department, others might think he has been demoted.

Finally, Director Chen recommended Chen Xu. Li Huaide thought that he was a good choice, so he asked Chen Xu to come over and explain the matter to him as soon as the work started.

Li Huaide had other ideas. The current logistics director is not young anymore, while Chen Xu is still young and has a bright future. It would be great if Chen Xu could take over the position of logistics director in the future.

Chen Xu is his direct descendant and will be able to help him for a longer time in the future, which is equivalent to following his old path.

If one day he kicks Director Yang out and takes over, Chen Xu, who has been promoted now, will just take over his position naturally. He won't find Chen Xu still at the bottom when he wants to promote him, which would be too difficult.

You, a deputy director of the purchasing department, were promoted directly to deputy factory director? What are you thinking... There are several administrative levels between them. It is good for both Li Huaide and Chen Xu to prepare at this point, at least in Li Huaide's opinion.

By that time, the deputy director of the steel mill will also be his man, and he will be in charge of production and logistics. Naturally, the entire steel mill will belong to him, Li Huaide's world.

Of course, the reason why he could treat Chen Xu like this is that he now knew that Chen Xu had a background, and it was a very powerful one, so he needed to be taken more seriously.

Especially since Chen Xu's background was not in the industrial system, there was no possibility that Chen Xu would replace him. In addition, Chen Xu's character made Lao Li feel at ease, so it was natural for him to choose to vigorously train Chen Xu.
