Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

"Of course, he is now the deputy factory director and logistics director," Chen Shengsheng replied.

"But how can I get rid of him?" Xu Damao seemed helpless.

While they were talking, Lou Xiao'e suddenly called out, "Da Mao, it's time for dinner!" This interrupted their conversation.

Mr. Chen looked at Lou Xiao'e and then at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao suddenly had an idea: "Yes, my father-in-law has a stake in the steel mill, he must know the factory leaders."

"Well, that makes sense." Mr. Chen said in agreement.

Xu Damao thought that with the Lou family's influence in the factory, getting an official position was not a dream.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I want to go back." When Xu Damao thought of this, he immediately prepared to say goodbye.

"Let's go, don't think too much." Mr. Chen comforted him on the surface.

"Haha, I've already thought of a solution. Just wait for my good news." Xu Damao said confidently and left quickly.

Mr. Chen said to himself: Xu Damao is a man who really has wild imaginations.

If it weren't for his worker status, how could the daughter of the Lou family be willing to marry him? He also expected to get help from the Lou family to get a job, which was simply a daydream.

"Well, I believe that Brother Damao will definitely succeed." Although he said this, Mr. Chen knew in his heart that this was almost impossible.

Xu Damao returned home contentedly, thinking about how to make Xiao'e happy.

At Lou's house:

When Lou Zhenhua returned home after the banquet, he heard his wife Lou Tan mention that their daughter had returned.

"Has Xu Damao come here today?" Lou Zhenhua asked suddenly.

"He came back with Xiao'e." Lou Tan replied.

"What is he doing here?" His tone was a little unhappy.

"What else could it be? She must be missing home." His wife could hear the discomfort in his heart, and she knew that he had been brooding over this matter.

"But today Xu Damao seemed to have mentioned it intentionally, and wanted us to introduce him to the leaders of the factory." Lou Tan thought of this matter.

"What is his intention?" Lou Zhenhua's voice was filled with anger.

"I'm afraid he wants an official position." Lou Tan speculated.

"If it weren't for his status as a worker, I wouldn't have betrothed Xiao'e to him." Lou Zhenhua was dissatisfied.

"What's the point of discussing this issue now?" Lou Tan tried to comfort her husband.

"I know how to deal with it." After thinking silently, Lou Zhenhua calmly said his plan, "I will give some gifts to Director Yang and Director Li. I don't want them to help me, but just to express our position. They will understand."

"Aren't you afraid that you will have a hard time explaining to Xiao'e? After all, she is our daughter. Are you worried that she will be wronged?" Lou Tan asked with concern.

“I can handle Xiao’e’s situation.

I don't need to explain anything to Xu Damao, I just need to give them enough financial support, and I don't need to worry about others offending me because of him. "After saying this, he was firm in his attitude.

"Okay, I'll do as you arranged." Although she was worried, Xiao'e was under her husband's care after all, so Lou Tan agreed.

"The family business has already been handed over. From now on, I can just enjoy a peaceful life and share the dividends." Thinking of this, he sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

"It's good this way. It won't cause any trouble for the children, and we have more than enough money." Lou Tan has a keen insight into the current situation and has always acted in a low-key manner.

"It's enough to last me ten lifetimes!" Lou Zhenhua snorted, then went into the bedroom to rest.

Xu family.

Xu Damao complained to Lou Xiaoe: "Look at my mother's attitude today. It seems that she is dissatisfied with me."

He never liked visiting the Lou family, always thinking that they looked down on him, but this time he had no choice but to come and seek help.

Lou Xiao'e pointed out dissatisfiedly: "That's your mother?! That's also my mother!" Then she gently pinched Xu Damao's ear to correct him.

Xu Damao quickly corrected: "That's right, mom.

But what does my mother mean? " He noticed that Lou Tan did not make a clear statement.

Lou Xiao'e shrugged: "Who knows? Those people are all strangers to her."

She was also confused about this.

Xu Damao continued to ask: "Do you think your father is willing to help?" He has never been clear about Lou Zhenhua's intentions.

Lou Xiao'e responded with indifference: "How could I have guessed such a thing?"

She didn't want to think about this difficult problem at all.

At this time, Xu Damao thought: "If I really become a cadre, then you will be the wife of a cadre."

However, Lou Xiao'e had no interest in this.

Xu Damao suggested: "We should find some time to go back home and figure out the situation, don't forget." Although he could see that Lou Xiao'e was a little impatient, he thought this suggestion was still necessary.

Lou Xiao'e changed the subject: "Mom gave me a lot of money and shopping coupons today."

She had no intention of going deeper into the previous topic.

Xu Damao replied casually: "Then just keep it well." Compared with the little things in life, he cared more about his political future.

Lou Xiao'e suggested: "See what's missing at home and then go buy some later. If it's not enough, just tell me." She didn't comment further on his perfunctory attitude.

Xu Damao sneered, and said with pride: "I know, I'm not that poor yet."

Even so, he didn't mind borrowing funds from Lou Xiao'e when needed.

As soon as Chen returned home, he found that Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao were not in the house, so he guessed that they might have gone to the door of Lou's house.

Although he was not clear about the specific decision, he had a premonition that Xu Damao's wish might be shattered. Since Lou Zhenhua married his daughter to Xu Damao, who came from an ordinary family, he probably would not easily help Xu Damao to get to the top.

In this light, if Lou Zhenhua wanted his daughter to marry into an official's family, wouldn't it have been much easier for him to do it directly?

After dinner, Xu Damao prepared to try his luck with Liu Haizhong to see if he could find any other possibilities.

Carrying two bottles of wine, he came to Liu Guangzhong's residence and knocked on the door to challenge him.

Liu Guangfu opened the door and recognized him at a glance: "Oh, brother, Dad - no, Team Leader Liu is at home."

When he entered the room, Xu Damao saw Liu Haizhong sitting there sipping tea, looking relaxed and as if he was out of the loop.

After Liu Guangtian sat down at the table, he exchanged a few simple greetings and went to say goodbye to Liu Haizhong, preparing to go out and play.

Liu Haizhong just nodded slightly and didn't pay much attention.

Xu Damao was suspicious: "Are all the people in the Liu family so casual now?"

Seeing Xu Damao coming, Liu Haizhong didn't stand up to greet him, but asked directly: "Xu Damao, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Xu Damao immediately showed his smooth side and said with a smile: "I think Team Leader Liu must be very tired after a busy day, so I brought these two bottles of wine to show my respect."

Liu Haizhong glanced at the wine in Xu Damao's hand and nodded with satisfaction: "Well done, you are very considerate."

Xu Damao seized the opportunity and lowered his voice to ask: "Team Leader, there is actually a small matter that I would like to ask for your help."

Xu Damao made a request cautiously: "I heard that you have a good relationship with the factory director, Director Li. Could you please say a word for me?"

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong's face instantly became nervous.

He knew that he and Li Huaide were not that close, and that the other party had just casually promised to take care of him.

He never expected that these words would win him the position of team leader. Since then, Li Huaide never contacted him again.

Liu Haizhong changed his tone and said to Xu Damao: "Damo, you should focus more on your work and think about how to integrate into the team instead of currying favor with your superiors.

How can the leader use you if you do this? " These words made Xu Damao so angry that his face turned blue. He took the two bottles of wine in his hand and left without saying anything.

"He is so uncultured and has no respect for you at all. Even if I know him, I won't introduce him to you. You'd better continue your dream." These words hurt Liu Haizhong deeply. He could still tolerate the cold looks from his colleagues, but the rudeness from his old friend Xu Damao really made him furious.

Xu Damao, who was standing in the backyard of his house, saw that there was still light in Chen Sheng's house after being unwelcome at Liu's house, so he decided to visit his friend with two bottles of wine. "Brother, come and have a drink!" he shouted excitedly.

Mr. Chen had heard about what had happened to the Liu family a long time ago and understood that Xu Damao came here to seek a chance.

He invited Xu Damao to sit down without hesitation, "Brother Damao, how are you doing? Have you made any progress in your promotion? Do you want me to congratulate you in advance?" However, this greeting made Xu Damao feel uneasy, but he forced a smile and said, "Don't mention this, drink, drink."

Helplessly, Mr. Chen had to accompany Xu Damao to drink two glasses of wine, and watched him leave in a half-drunk state.

In a blink of an eye, the whole city launched a large-scale operation to eliminate the "four pests".

As a member of a grocery store, Mr. Chen also joined the rat and fly extermination campaign.

Unexpectedly, without knowing it, Purchasing Manager Li inexplicably became the leader of the store's rat expelling team.

It was probably his usual lazy attitude towards work that made him the target of public criticism at the early morning meeting and he was pushed to the top.

After returning to the office, Li, the purchasing manager, announced proudly: "In response to the patriotic health campaign and in accordance with the instructions of my superiors, starting today, I will serve as the captain of our store's rat extermination team." The other three colleagues said in unison: "Congratulations!"

"Then, from now on, Mr. Chen, Wang Gang, you two will also join the team." Wang Gang gladly accepted, but Mr. Chen sighed inwardly...

At that time, people generally misunderstood that sparrows were not beneficial birds. It is said that the number of sparrows killed across the country in one year reached hundreds of millions.

However, they are actually natural enemies of many pests, and their importance to the ecology of rice fields and orchards in particular cannot be ignored.

The large-scale capture of sparrows caused a food shortage the following year. Although the following year was a difficult year, the nationwide bird-killing campaign also left a profound negative impact.

Asking Li if he could quit the mission, Chen Sheng sincerely didn't want to participate. Li seemed to be able to guess his thoughts - Chen Sheng had a reputation as a slippery king. "Don't worry, the leaders have prepared the trap, and our main responsibility is to set it." He explained and tried to comfort Chen Sheng.
