Siheyuan: I just want to live

The next day, early in the morning, Xu's father took all the money and gold in the family and went to the steel mill.

In other words, he got the news too late yesterday, otherwise he would have come to the steel mill yesterday afternoon.

As for why not go directly to Deputy Director Li’s house?

Father Xu knew that Deputy Director Li never brought home the bribes he received. As for why, he didn't know either. This news was secretly told to him by a former good friend of his.

The last time Xu Damao was promoted to a regular employee, he was given a gift in Deputy Director Li's office! Otherwise, how could Xu Damao be promoted to a regular employee so quickly?

After the secretary took Mr. Xu to Deputy Director Li's office, Mr. Xu spoke first, "Director Li! I'm Xu Damao's father! We met last time because of Xu Damao's promotion to full-time position!"

"I came here just to ask about Xu Damao! I hope you can tell me some news because I used to be an employee of the steel mill!"

At first, Deputy Director Li was a little confused. Who was this person that the secretary brought in? But when Xu's father told him about Xu Damao's transfer to a legitimate company, he was shocked.

Deputy Director Li immediately understood that this person was here to give a gift! And he had already given one last time!

Why was he so sure? It was because if a normal employee was promoted to a regular employee, he would not have to go through him at all.

The person who was able to pass my request was definitely not a normal employee who was converted to a regular employee. Besides, Xu's father is not a woman, so there is no such thing as a power-for-sex transaction. In this case, it can only be a power-for-money transaction.

After figuring this out, Deputy Director Li did not respond to Xu's father's words immediately, but said to the secretary, "Secretary Wang! We don't need you here anymore!"

"I want to talk to this comrade about Xu Damao's case. It needs to be kept confidential. Please stand guard outside and don't let others disturb us. At the same time, prevent leaks!"

When Secretary Wang heard what Deputy Director Li said, he didn't say anything but just nodded and said, "Okay Director, I got it! I'll go outside and wait!"

Then he turned around and left the office, leaving the space to Xu's father and Deputy Director Li.

After Secretary Wang left, Deputy Director Li said to Xu Damao, "Comrade Xu, please sit down and talk. Coming here is like going back to your mother's house, so don't be shy!"

When Mr. Xu heard what Deputy Director Li said, he quickly said, "Hey! Thank you, Director Li!"

Then Father Xu sat down opposite Deputy Director Li.

After Mr. Xu sat down, Deputy Director Li stood up and made him a cup of tea. After bringing it to Mr. Xu and putting it down, he said, "Come on, let's have a cup of tea and talk slowly. There's no rush!"

Deputy Director Li is not so polite to everyone. If it was an ordinary employee of the steel rolling mill, there is no way Deputy Director Li would make tea for him. He would just send him out with a few words.

He was only so polite to his own God of Wealth. It was obvious that Father Xu was his own God of Wealth today! It was probably his favorite, the one with the golden glow.

Father Xu was now upset by Xu Damao's matter and had no intention of playing tricks on Deputy Director Li. So he asked directly.

"Director Li, has the matter of my son Xu Damao been settled?"

When Deputy Factory Director Li heard him ask this, he said, "Although the nature of the incident has not yet been determined, the impact of this incident is extremely bad!"

"According to the factory's intention, Xu Damao must be dealt with severely and strictly! The factory has handed this matter over to me."

"I have also asked the security department to go to the countryside to collect evidence, and also to check if there are other victims. I believe the security department will have results soon!"

Deputy Director Li's words made Xu's father feel both happy and worried.

What worries me is that Xu Damao’s case is really too big, but what makes me happy is that the factory has handed the case over to Deputy Director Li. If he handles it, there will still be a chance.

So Xu's father quickly said, Director Li, do you think Xu Damao still has a chance?"

When Deputy Director Li heard what Father Xu said, he hesitated and said, "Well..."

Seeing that Deputy Director Li sounded a little hesitant, Father Xu immediately took out something wrapped in cloth from his small bag and placed it on the table.

Deputy Director Li's eyes widened when he saw what Xu's father took out. He knew that his favorite thing was inside without even opening it.

However, he did not come over immediately, but continued to speak to Xu Damao, "As for Xu Damao, according to the factory's intention, we should have just avoided it!"

"But seeing how hard Comrade Xu worked for the steel mill, I can only guarantee that Xu Damao doesn't die in the mill! As for the rest, I'll leave it to fate!"

When Mr. Xu heard what Deputy Director Li said, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Director Li, can you help us? This is the only child in our Xu family!"

Factory Director Li listened to what Xu's father said and said helplessly, "Comrade Xu! It's not that I don't want to help you, but Xu Damao's incident has such a bad impact that I can't do anything about it!"

After hearing what Deputy Director Li said, Father Xu took out a wad of money from his pocket, and then said with some hope, "Director Li, is there really no other solution?"

Deputy Director Li looked at the money on the table and saw that it was more than two thousand. He thought about it carefully and said, "I can get it for 20 years at most. If you ask more, I really can't do anything!"

But perhaps seeing that Xu's father had given a lot, Deputy Director Li said, "However, I can help you keep Xu Damao's work position and let someone from your family take over! This is already the best outcome."

Father Xu saw that there was really no hope and it was useless to worry about it any longer, so he had no choice but to accept his fate.

It is also good to keep a work position. When Xu Damao comes out, you can use this work position to buy him a wife, so that the Xu family's incense will not be cut off.

As for now? Xiaoling doesn't have a job yet, so she should help her brother with work and save some money, so that her brother can have a better life after he is released.

After figuring it out, Father Xu carefully asked Deputy Director Li, "Director Li, can you help me change my work position to a lighter one? I only have a little daughter now, and she can't do the job of a projectionist."

After hearing what Mr. Xu said, Deputy Director Li thought for a moment and then asked, "How old is your daughter now? What is her education?"

Hearing what Deputy Director Li said, Father Xu immediately said, "You're nineteen this year, and you'll be turning 20 this year! You only have a high school degree!"

When Deputy Factory Director Li heard what Father Xu said, he asked in confusion, "High school degree? Then our school doesn't have any assigned jobs?"

Hearing what Deputy Director Li said, Father Xu said a little embarrassedly, "Hasn't she graduated yet? And I've also asked about the school. She might be assigned to Beijing or Tianjin, which is too far from home! I don't want her to go!"

When Deputy Director Li heard what Xu's father said, he nodded in sudden realization, paused, thought for a few seconds, and then took out two pieces of paper from the drawer.

He first quickly wrote one sheet and put it in an envelope, and then began to write something on another sheet, but Deputy Director Li suddenly looked up and asked Xu's father.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what is my niece's name?"

When Mr. Xu heard Deputy Director Li ask this, he quickly said, "Her name is Xu Xiaoling. She's from No. 8 Middle School!"

When Deputy Director Li heard what Xu's father said, he nodded and continued writing on the paper.

After writing, Deputy Director Li handed the two envelopes to Xu's father and gave him instructions.

"Here are two letters of introduction. I recruited my niece for the job according to the steel mill's recruitment process. She entered the factory just like any other high school student."

"As for the other one, that's your son's job, but you have to hurry up and get there. If you delay for too long, and Xu Damao is sentenced, the factory will definitely fire him first, and this letter of introduction will be useless!"

Father Xu was holding the two letters of introduction and was a little overwhelmed for a moment. He thought you were lucky enough to keep your job.

Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Li also found a job for his daughter.

So Mr. Xu quickly stood up and bowed to Deputy Director Li and said, "Thank you, Director Li!"

Deputy Factory Director Li looked at Mr. Xu who was thanking him and said, "Comrade Xu, what are you doing? Aren't we good friends? Do we still need these things between us?"

After hearing what Deputy Director Li said, Father Xu straightened up.

After standing up straight, Deputy Director Li came to Xu's father with a box of tea. Then, in front of Xu Damao's surprised gaze, Deputy Director Li put the tea into his bag.

Then he smiled amiably and said, "I'm not used to this tea! Comrade Lao Xu, you can take it back and drink it!"

Actually! What's the point of not being able to get used to it? It's just that when Mr. Xu came, the bag was full, but when he left, it was empty. Isn't that telling others that he accepted bribes?

Put a bag of tea in it to fill up Xu's father's bag. Tea is not expensive, and you can drink as much as you want without spending money.

After giving it to Mr. Xu, I can leave a good impression in his mind, and next time he does something, he will definitely think of me.

It’s great to be able to kill two birds with one stone!

Before Mr. Xu could open his mouth to refuse, Deputy Director Li put his arm around his shoulders without saying anything and walked towards the office door.

As he walked, he kept muttering, "Oh, Comrade Lao Xu, you should go home as soon as possible!"

The tone sounded quite urgent.

Then, Deputy Factory Director Li urged: "We must hurry up and arrange for people to come to work! Don't delay, so as to avoid unexpected events and unexpected changes!"

This sounds reasonable at first glance, but in fact, Deputy Director Li thought to himself proudly: I have already safely put the money in my pocket, and everything has been done.

If we don't send this man away right now, will we have to keep him here for dinner? Don't even think about it!

So, Mr. Xu was sent out of the office by Deputy Director Li in a daze.

When the two of them said goodbye, Father Xu actually kept thanking Deputy Director Li! It seemed that he didn't notice anything wrong.
