Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

For nearly 4 hours, I could only stay in the car, without a mobile phone or computer, and I was not allowed to make any loud noise. I was not allowed to get off the car unless I could not hold it any longer.

Watching others eating and drinking in the house, he could only stand guard under the noses of their guards. Isn't it frustrating?

"..."

Just as Xu Dacan was about to get in the car, he heard Director Yang calling him, "Xiao Xu, come on, come on."

Xu Dacan walked up to him, not knowing what was going on. Director Yang smiled and said, "Come in with us. I have one request: don't talk too much when you get to the leader's house."

This is interesting. He was not here for a meeting, nor was he a tool. He was just a driver. I have never heard of a driver being invited to such an occasion.

But since the factory director had spoken, Xu Dacan could not refuse. What's more, he also wanted to go in and take a look. In his two lifetimes combined, the highest-ranking leader he had ever seen was the secretary of their community. He had never seen a "progressive" great spiritual guide!

As he was speaking, a young man with a short flat head and glasses strode out of the room.

As soon as Xu Dacan saw his vigorous and decisive style, he knew that he was from the army and thought that this must be Secretary Chen.

As expected, Director Yang called him from a distance: "Secretary Chen!"

Secretary Chen then raised his head and smiled: "Director Yang, are you here?"

Director Yang also asked with a smile on his face: "Has Director Wang arrived?"

Although Secretary Chen's mouth corners were raised, making people feel that he was smiling, his eyes kept moving on Xu Dacan and the others, cold and without any warmth.

Secretary Chen replied: "It's been a while."

Director Yang quickly introduced: "Let me introduce you, this is chef He Yuzhu."

Shazhu nodded at the other person with an expressionless face.

Director Yang then introduced: "This is the projectionist Xu Damao."

Xu Damao instinctively wanted to bow and nod to the other person, but suddenly he remembered what Dacan had warned him, and nodded like Shazhu.

Xu Dacan noticed that Sha Zhu looked at his brother strangely. It seemed that his brother's performance was beyond his and Director Yang's expectations!

After introducing the two tool men, Director Yang pointed at Xu Dacan and said, "This is the driver Xu Dacan. The egg throwing game that I mentioned to the leader before was invented by him."

Xu Dacan suddenly realized. No wonder Director Yang had to call him today. It turned out that he wanted him to teach the big spiritual guide how to throw eggs!

The pit was as big as one caused by a meteorite impact. Xu Dacan had seen this when he watched TV dramas in his previous life. This great spiritual guide hated people with ulterior motives the most.

In other words, the more you understand the ways of the world and the so-called "unspoken rules", the more he will hate you.

Fortunately, Xu Dacan traveled through time and knew the plot in advance, otherwise it would be fun if the two brothers were blasted out by the great spiritual guide at the same time.

In the TV series, Xu Damao is not the protagonist, and after being driven back by the great spiritual guide, not much is written about his dusty appearance.

There is no explanation of how he couldn't hold his head up high in the factory or in the courtyard.

Everyone only saw that Sha Zhu met a noble man, became close friends with the great spiritual guide, and later even gave him a phonograph.

But who has seen how those people framed Xu Damao?

Especially in Lou Xiao'e's eyes, he had become a complete waste!

"..."

It is foreseeable what will happen to the two brothers if they are sent back together today.

If nothing else, Li Huaide would definitely give up on both of them at the first opportunity.

It was a good thing that he had high hopes for Xu Dacan and Xu Damao, but instead of making him proud, they made him a laughing stock among Director Yang and his group!

Can Li Huaide give them a good result?

Xu Dacan made a note of Director Yang in the little notebook in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Secretary Chen looked Xu Dacan up and down, obviously having heard of him.

After Director Yang introduced them, he said, "You make the arrangements."

Secretary Chen nodded: "Okay, please go in first."

As soon as Director Yang left, Secretary Chen started giving them orders without any hesitation. He pointed at Sha Zhu and said, "You, go to the kitchen first."

Then he said to Damao, "You, put the projector down first and play it in the living room later."

At this time, the importance of Xu Dacan's previous point was revealed. Damao didn't talk nonsense like a bully, but asked: "Excuse me, do you want to play the video I prepared in advance?"

Secretary Chen refused outright: "I don't need the film you brought. I have some here."

Xu Damao's heart skipped a beat. His brother guessed it right again. It was amazing!

While Xu Damao was taking the projection equipment from the trunk, Secretary Chen said to Dacan, "You, come in with me. Don't act on your own. Just answer whatever I ask you."

The Great Mao

After saying that, he turned around and walked away. Seeing this, Xu Dacan also quickly took a long step, always staying half a body length behind him, and then said gratefully: "Thank you, brother!"

When Secretary Chen heard Xu Dacan calling him brother, he slowed down his pace, turned his head to look at him, and said nothing.

Even though he had a poker face, Xu Dacan knew that he must have remembered the title in his heart. Since he worked as a secretary for the great spiritual guide, the people he came into contact with on a daily basis all called him "Secretary Chen". It might have been a long time since he was called "brother" by someone younger than him.

"..."

Xu Dacan followed Secretary Chen into the house and took a quick look with his limited vision. He found that it was just so-so and not even as nice as Lou Xiao'e's parents' house.

The furnishings in the room were ordinary, but the red tin can of Zhonghua cigarettes next to the telephone on the small coffee table caught his attention.

Iron can Chinese

This is a good thing that you can't buy even if you have money.

Our country started using this cigarette to export and earn foreign exchange in 54; now it is only provided to overseas embassies and foreign-related hotels.

There are only three ways to buy this cigarette, namely the Foreign Ship Supply Company, Friendship Store, and Overseas Chinese Store.

These shops are not for ordinary people like Xu Dacan to shop at all. They play the important role of gaining foreign exchange and encouraging inflow of remittances.

When Xu Dacan came in, in addition to Director Yang, there were already four other leaders sitting on the sofa.

The man wearing glasses sitting in the main seat should be the spiritual guide, and the fat old man sitting across the big coffee table from him should be Director Wang. I heard that Director Wang particularly likes to eat sea cucumbers. (Easter egg)

Seeing them come in, several people immediately stopped talking.

A series of suspicious and scrutinizing glances swept over from the sofa, sweeping across Xu Dacan's face and body.

Even though he had lived for nearly seventy years in his two lives combined, he was still almost bleeding from such a strong aura.

Fortunately, it was just a minor abrasion, not a big deal.
