Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

Wang Weiyi still made an appointment with Xu Damao to meet Fan Changlong and others for a drink in a few days. Xu Damao watched Wang Weiyi get on their company's jeep and left before returning to the office.

Unexpectedly, I was called to the factory director's office by Director Yang again.

"Xiao Xu, are you familiar with Director Wang?"

"Director, I used to be quite familiar with him. I worked as a liaison officer for a while and dealt with the material supply unit in the factory for a while, but now I'm really not familiar with him. Director Wang used to be the head of the supply department, but now he's the deputy director. He's basically the third in command of the meat processing plant, and he controls so much of the fresh meat business. How can I dare to say that I'm familiar with him now?"

"Xiao Xu, our factory will have heavy production tasks in the future, and the demand for meat is still very large. If the workers don't eat meat, how can they do heavy work? If possible, please contact Director Wang more often. If there are any expenses, you can say hello to Xiao Bu (the director's secretary). It's no problem."

"Okay, Director, I'll do my best. Meat is indeed very important, but Director Wang just said in my office that our factory might get a little more quota in the second half of this year. I don't know if what he said is true or false. If that's the case, even if it's only 5 percentage points more, it's a lot."

"Okay, then Xiao Duo will pay more attention to it. The Youth League Committee has its work to do, and we cadres should also pay more attention to eating meat."

"Ok."

Xu Damao was still quite depressed as he had to shoulder this task for no reason.

Xu Damao didn't want to get involved in this matter. It was a thankless job, and he was also looked down upon by the people in the purchasing department for overstepping his bounds. It would be better for him to focus on his work as a Youth League Committee member, go to work on time, leave work on time, and go home to tell his children about the Three Kingdoms and Tang and Song poems.

Xu Damao is very familiar with this area and is very good at it. He occasionally tests and teaches the children about their music learning. They have been learning music theory and musical instruments from Yan Ji and his wife for a long time.

Xu Damao also bought a piano for his family. He didn't dare to buy one in the past few years because of the current situation. Now he has not only a piano, but also a violin and a guitar.

Xu Zhiquan majored in violin, Xu Zhiyu studied piano, and Fang Shuying studied guitar and flute. Xu Damao was quite familiar with piano and violin, and was able to correct Xu Zhiyu's piano playing mistakes at home. If he was at the performance level, he could open a class to teach ordinary piano beginners in the future.

This made the two girls look at their father with a new respect.

"Dad, when can you learn piano and violin?"

"My daughter, you should not judge people by appearance, especially strangers you don't know. Don't look down on people by their clothes. Maybe they are ordinary-looking, but they are actually big shots. Back then, when our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was performing model operas, I could even dance ballet with piano accompaniment. Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, ask Grandma Yan and Aunt Pu Su next time. At that time, I seconded our grandma and Aunt Pu to the unit to stage model operas. How could they manage a troupe without musical talent? Right? Now you have the conditions, and you have professional teachers like Teacher Yan to teach you. It is your good fortune. No matter what profession you are in in the future, there is one way that can stand out. When people ask you, what are your specialties? You don't have to answer them. To answer my question about the specialty of my pants? You can say that my piano is at a professional level, and my violin is at a performance level. The more you know, the more opportunities society will give you compared to others. What is the purpose of going to school? It is so that when you enter society one day, you will know what you will do and what you can do? You will have more opportunities to choose. If your father had not studied culture, he would not have shown movies, would not have known your mother, and there would be no you. In the meantime, I also learned martial arts. On the way home from showing movies, I bravely fought against bad guys and won honors, so I was promoted in the unit. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Why is it called being prepared at all times? This is the reason.

Now you don’t have to work, don’t have to worry about food, you can concentrate on studying, concentrate on learning what you are interested in, don’t you feel very happy? So, study hard and make progress every day. "

"Dad, we know that having many skills is always a blessing, and too much oil never spoils the food."

"Oh, that's right, my daughter has really grown up. If you want to learn something in the future, tell dad and I will definitely find a good teacher for you. But Dandan, you are still a little short of keeping fit. Right now, your enthusiasm is not as good as your two brothers. You need to exercise more. Only with a good body can you have everything else. Besides, if a girl learns self-defense, she won't suffer any loss. Do you understand? You should know that the inner strength of the Natural Gate is not something that anyone can learn. Do you understand?"

Xu Zhiyu's face suddenly fell. She was indeed a little lazy, so she could only follow Xu Damao's stern gaze and say "Oh".

On the weekend, Fang Xiaoru brought Fang Shuying here. Xu Damao had already prepared two packages from the basement on Yandaixie Street. "Xiaoru, there are two packages with 10,000 yuan in cash. Take one and find a chance to send another to Lihua. Buy a house as a backup. Houses are not expensive now, and some people still want to live in buildings, so there will definitely be people who want to buy them. If not, let Guo Jiawei keep asking. The price of houses in Kyoto will definitely increase in the future. Buy early and make money early."

"Hey, you really thought the same thing as I did. I just talked about this with my elder sister and elder brother last week. We bought a house when we had money. Great minds think alike. Okay, Damao, you have good taste. Ten thousand yuan, then I'll accept it for Shuying. What? Can't forget Lihua? Well, Lihua is so young and beautiful. If I were a man, I would also like her. Besides, you old bastard." Hahahaha.

"Xiao Ru, that's not what I meant. First of all, Lihua should be a little short of money than us. Actually, I owe her, not that I want to have a relationship with her again. After all, Dongyue is my son, and as his stepfather, I have to buy him a house. Now that you have some extra money, invest it well. In a few years, when you retire, we can open a shop and sell old things. Then you won't be short of money."

"I retire? It's still a long time, there are still more than ten years to go. You are really good at making arrangements. You have arranged everything for the next ten years."

"Xiao Ru, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Some time ago, my eldest son who was overseas came back. He is now a citizen of the United States and is studying at the University of Pennsylvania. You see, he can come back, which proves that the pace of social change is greater and faster than we imagined. Maybe next year or the year after, a large number of foreigners will start to enter Kyoto. Do you believe it? So, everything is possible. We just need to be prepared."

"Okay, okay, what you said makes sense, I believe it, isn't that enough? Then I'll find time to give this ten thousand yuan to Lihua so that she can buy the house."
