Siheyuan: The beginning revealed the secrets of the three uncles

After receiving accurate instructions, Xu Damao pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Liu Lan sitting on the sofa with a flushed face, and he immediately understood something.

Xu Damao was secretly delighted, as he had guessed it right. This frivolous old man just liked to do something exciting in the office.

"Liu Lan just reported the situation in the kitchen to me!"

Li Xinmin looked at Xu Damao coming in and immediately explained.

"What's going on with He Yuzhu? Why didn't he come to work again today for no apparent reason?"

Li Xinmin pretended to be annoyed and dissatisfied.

"You know that tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and Director Liu from the Municipal Bureau has agreed to come to dinner today!"

Li Xinmin said anxiously, with a hint of complaint in his tone.

"This guy just disappeared so suddenly, it's really a bummer!"

Li Xinmin was afraid that Xu Damao would misunderstand, so he quickly shifted the topic to Sha Zhu.

"Ah, Director Li, since you have something to do here, please go first. I will go back first!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Lan realized that it would be inappropriate for her to stay here any longer, so she quickly found an excuse and left.

"Oh, Director Li, this is a big problem. At worst, I can just be the head chef tonight!"

"Hahaha, Damao, you are still reliable. If you hadn't begged me, I would have asked He Yuzhu to get out long ago."

"But what's in this bag you're holding?"

Li Xinmin laughed, then looked suspiciously at the snakeskin bag in Xu Damao's hand.

Xu Damao smiled flatteringly.

"Director Li, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I asked a friend to buy two big watermelons from the south and sent them to you for you to try. I wish you a prosperous and sweet new year!"

After saying that, he opened the snakeskin bag again, took out one of the watermelons and placed it on the table.

Then, he took out two big carps that were jumping around, put them directly in Li Xinmin's washbasin, and poured some water to keep the fish fresh.

"Also, these two carps are fresh, too. Two for you and Director Yang."

Li Xinmin was so happy looking at the watermelon and carp in front of him that his heart was filled with joy.

It is not easy to eat watermelon in the winter these days. Even as the leader of a steel mill, it is not so easy to eat it.

"Hey, Damao, why are you doing this? I'm a government official. If you do this, others will misunderstand that there's something illicit between us."

But you still have to install what you need!

"Director Li, look at what you said. This is just a little token of my appreciation. How can you say it's an improper relationship?"

"For so many years, you have been cultivating me with all your heart. This is just a small token of my appreciation. If you don't accept it, I will not come to your office anymore!"

"Besides, we are celebrating the New Year, everyone should be happy, don't take it too seriously."

After hearing this, Li Xinmin's face showed an impatient expression.

But he had to put on a good show, so he asked in an awkward tone.

"Then you don't have any intention in giving these things to me, right?"

When Xu Damao heard this, he quickly shook his head and waved his hands.

"No, no, I have absolutely no intention. I just want to express my respect for you."

"You work so hard every day. As a member of the factory, I should also express my gratitude."

"Besides, I bought these watermelons and carp with my own money, not a single cent from the factory."

Seeing that Xu Damao spoke so sincerely, Li Xinmin believed his words and said with a smile.

"In that case, I'll accept it."

"But don't do this kind of thing again in the future, otherwise if someone reports you, it will be difficult for me to handle it."

Xu Damao nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

"Okay, Director Li, you go ahead and do your work. I still need to give this to Director Yang!"

"I won't bother you anymore!"

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he slapped the red envelope on the table, making a crisp sound.

Then he picked up the gifts he brought, turned around and left without hesitation, without even looking back.

Li Xinmin looked at Xu Damao's receding back and muttered to himself: This guy is really impatient.

After Xu Damao left, Li Xinmin hurriedly picked up the red envelope, eager to see what was inside.

He carefully opened the red envelope, and when he saw the brand new, neatly arranged stack of big unity notes inside, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He couldn't help laughing and said to himself, "This Xu Damao really knows how to get things done."

My favorable impression of Xu Damao increased instantly.

The reason why Xu Damao chose to give the things to Li Xinmin first was that he actually had his own plans.

He wanted to show his loyalty and sincerity to Li Xinmin in this way.

He wanted to let Li Xinmin know that in his mind, Li Xinmin and the factory director were equal.

Therefore, the gifts he gave were of exactly the same size.

"Xu Damao, Xu Damao, you are really good at handling things!"

"If I accept these things from you and don't give you the position of head of the publicity department, then I'm not a good person!"

Li Xinmin pondered secretly in his heart.

He felt that Xu Damao was a man with good sense, who knew how to please his superiors and was generous.

If such a person can become one's right-hand man, it will definitely bring a lot of benefits to oneself.

Thinking of this, Li Xinmin decided to consider carefully whether to hand over the position of head of the Propaganda Department to Xu Damao.

After all, a subordinate who knows how to handle things is much better than a subordinate who is only told to do his job!

Soon, Xu Damao arrived at the door of Director Yang's office, knocked and walked in.

He started talking in much the same way as before and gave the things to Director Yang.

Soon, Director Yang came to Li Xinmin's office.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Li Xinmin working hard, so I spoke.

"Old Li, I think Damao is a pretty good kid. It's time to promote him!"

The Propaganda Department is the department under the charge of Li Xinmin, and Xu Damao is Li Xinmin's direct subordinate.

So for Li Xinmin, he had to tell him about Xu Damao's matter.

Hearing this, Li Xinmin quickly continued the conversation and spoke in a flattering manner.

"Director, you think so too. In fact, I have wanted to mention this to you for a long time, but I always felt that he was too young and wanted him to gain more experience!"

Director Yang nodded in agreement, then spoke again.

"Willn't Mr. Wu from the labor union retire after the Chinese New Year? Then let Mr. Zhang from the publicity department go to the labor union to retire."

"How about promoting Xu Damao directly to be the head of the Propaganda Department?"

After hearing this, Li Xinmin was secretly happy, but on the surface he pretended to be a little embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he spoke.

"Isn't this a bit too fast? After all, Xu Damao has only been in the factory for a few years..."

Director Yang waved his hand and smiled.

"Young people should be given opportunities, and Xu Damao's ability is obvious to all. I believe he will not disappoint us!"

Li Xinmin quickly agreed.

"The factory manager is right. I will arrange this matter and try to implement it as soon as possible."

Director Yang nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Well, thank you for your hard work. This matter must be done well."
