Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

That night, Xu Damao had dinner at the Lou family, and returned to the No. 95 compound alone, tidied up the house, and rode his bike to the unique courtyard on Yandaixie Street. He hadn't been here for a long time, so he had to come and inspect it.

Fortunately, everything is normal.

Xu Damao wrote a profound application for joining the party with ease, and handed it to Section Chief Li the next morning along with an article he had prepared long ago, "On Sending Movies to the Countryside and a Brief Analysis of the Politicization of Rural Society."

"Chief, this is my application. There is also an essay here. Please take a look at it. It's up to you whether it can be published or not."

"Xiao Xu, sure. Let me take a look at your article. If it's okay, I'll submit it."

"Thank you, Chief. I will leave for the countryside now. I still have to show six movies in a row."

"Okay, okay, be careful on the road. I heard that it will rain and snow in the next few days. Be sure to pay attention to safety. It doesn't matter if the weather is really bad, so it doesn't matter if the mission is delayed."

"Okay, Chief. I understand."

Xu Damao left Section Chief Li's office, moved the equipment directly and hung it on the back seat of the car, then quickly drove out of the factory and headed towards the west of Beijing.

After carefully reading Xu Damao's analysis article, Section Chief Li of the Propaganda Department slapped the table and said, "Good job, Xu Damao, it's really well written." He also looked at the application for joining the Party, which had neat handwriting, fluent writing style, and a prominent theme, and could be regarded as a model application.

I took the article and application form and went directly to Li Huaide’s office on the third floor.

"Third brother, how about you take a look at this article?"

"Huai Min, please be careful about your influence at work. Next time, you should still call me by my position in the factory."

"Okay, Deputy Director Li."

"Third brother, I read this article. The content is profound and it contains my own insights. It is definitely a very good political propaganda article."

"Well, it's really well written. Who in your Propaganda Department wrote it?" Li Huaide commented after spending ten minutes reading the article of more than 2,000 words.

"Who else could it be? The projectionist Xu Damao. This guy is quiet, but he has such good writing skills. It seems like a waste of his talent to just let him show movies."

"Huai Min, what's the matter? You want to promote this guy, and this guy gave you a gift?"

"That's impossible. I'm also a talent enthusiast. Our Propaganda Department is a mixed bag. We need talents with good writing skills and obedience. I looked at Xu Damao's resume. He's a high school student. He's really good."

"I really didn't give you a gift?"

"Third brother, I can't lie to you, but this kid came to my house to wish me a happy new year during the Spring Festival. He was very generous. He also left me some local specialties from the countryside. I think this kid is worth training. I want to let him join the party first, and then make him a propaganda officer. The movies will continue to be shown. I will let him help me and observe him. If possible, I will have the opportunity to promote him to deputy chief. In this way, the propaganda department will be completely in your hands."

"Well, you can, but don't be too hasty. If you are too hasty, this kid will think that he can get it easily and won't know how to cherish it."

"Okay, I understand. Then I will submit this article to the propaganda department of the main factory?"

"When that guy comes back, it's best to sign your name as well. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Okay, Third Brother, I'll go then. I'll leave this application for joining the party with you. When you think it's ready, just let me know."

"Well, let's go."

After Li Huaimin left, Li Huaide lit a cigarette and thought.

The factory has been open for several years. He started from the logistics department. Now, under the operation of his father-in-law, he has become the deputy director from the director. It has not been easy along the way. Now the strength of the Red Star Factory is definitely not comparable to that of Director Yang, but Director Yang can't do anything to him. They are just in charge of their own territory. Li Huaide is mainly in charge of logistics, publicity, and security, while Director Yang is in charge of production, finance, personnel and other most important departments.

Yes, I do need to promote more competitive and younger talents to work for me.

Li Huaide did not regard the position of deputy factory director as the end of his career. He was still young and had a strong backing, so the position of factory director was his next goal.

His policy is to plan before taking action.

At this time, Xu Damao, who was on his way to the countryside in western Beijing, didn't know that he had caught the eye of Deputy Director Li. If he knew, he would definitely shout to himself: It's fucking worth it. He had to strengthen himself before the predicted big storm came, at least to have the ability to protect himself. Otherwise, he really didn't know what would happen.

To protect oneself and to take the opportunity to make a fortune, to get promoted and make a fortune, this is the true nature of a man. Xu Damao has already set his future direction. As for the Lou family, he must let them leave safely before the big storm comes. Now he has to take his own blood with him, so that Xu Damao can't break the connection with the Lou family. The Lou family is a future tycoon, how can he give up easily? Otherwise, why marry her back?

As long as you are prepared, you can avoid some disasters and easily get through the great era that is expected to happen.

At this time, his old illness came back and he thought of Widow Gu from Haidian Hot Spring Village.

Yesterday at Lou's house, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e had sex. After all, considering the baby in his belly, Xu Damao was a little reluctant to leave. Since practicing Xingyi Bagua, Xu Damao's physique has improved a lot, and now he feels like he has reached the top. Xu Damao himself doesn't know why, and it's not true that he is a martial arts genius. But the reality is that he feels that he has developed internal strength, and his moves and stick techniques are also quite proficient. He feels that he can deal with four or five big men at once.

He even laughed at his shameless behavior of slandering himself while riding a bicycle. Was it because Xu Damao in the past always had a mother-in-law, or was it because Xu Damao in the future fell freely from the 16th floor?

Sometimes I think to myself that I am just a dog that can never change its nature of eating shit.

But now I feel that it's a good start. I married Lou Xiao'e and have children, which completely changed the fate of being extinct.

It seems that the big green tea woman Qin Huairu is no longer living in the Jia family in such a humble way as before, and she has picked this flower so early.

However, Xu Damao was the most relaxed with Widow Gu. He had no mental burden and they both got what they wanted willingly.

Xu Damao also thought of her along the way because of this. Next week, the village in Haidian will be the movie again, and he wants to go and reminisce with Gu Gu.

Feeling proud, he sang all the way and pedaled his bike quickly to the farthest village this time.

At the Lou family's home, Lou Xiao'e was chatting with Tan Yali while eating melon seeds.

"Xiao'e, why didn't Damao stay at our house yesterday?"

"He has to get up early to rush to the factory to deliver the equipment to the countryside, and he's afraid of disturbing me. Mom, are you worried about something?"

"Damao often goes to the countryside. Is it dangerous? Do you want your father to change Damao's job and let him work in an office?"

"Mom, I asked Damao about this, too. Damao said that it's probably difficult now, and no one will show movies. He said that when the Propaganda Department has a staffing plan, he will ask their section chief to arrange an apprentice for him. After teaching the apprentice, he will be able to take off the skills. Don't worry, mom, you don't know how skilled Damao is. I even learned a few moves from Damao."

"It's good that there's no danger. Otherwise, what would happen? I only have you as my daughter. I can't compare to your aunt and stepmother. They have sons and daughters, and they are still abroad. Mom is worried and scared."

"Mom, everything will be fine. Don't think that your eldest aunt and second aunt are out there. Think about it the other way around. You're the only one with Dad right now. Why are you still so nervous? We don't have to worry about food and drink right now. Don't worry about it. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. Don't worry. Just live your life as it should."

"Xiao'e, is your life with Damao harmonious?" "Mom, what life? The life you and my dad have. Mom, is your life harmonious?"

"I beat you up, you little bitch, and you're teasing your mother."

"Mom, I don't know either. I just think Damao is better than most people. Anyway, I am satisfied. We had sex again yesterday when you were not at home."

"You stupid girl, you did that in broad daylight and you still have the nerve to talk about it. You have no shame."

"I'll talk to my mom about it. I'm not shouting it around the world with a megaphone."

"Xiao'e, as long as you are satisfied with this son-in-law, it's fine. You are pregnant now, and will give birth in four months. When you become a mother yourself in the future, you will know how difficult it is."
