As the saying goes, no one asks about poverty in the downtown area, but wealth has distant relatives in the mountains.
When the news of Xu Damao being promoted to the head of the canteen spread, the residents of the entire courtyard were all shocked. They were all discussing it in private. When they saw Xu Damao coming back from work with a cart, everyone greeted him with smiles and their mouths were full of compliments.
"Department Director Xu is back!"
"Hello, Department Director Xu!"
"Department Director Xu, have you eaten?"
Xu Damao couldn't help but sigh. The taste of power was really fascinating. Once upon a time, he had also lost himself in the call of handsome boys in Guangdong Province.
However, he was not a useless predecessor. He used the wind to climb up and started to show off. In the end, he offended many people. Once his momentum passed, he was ostracized by others and could not even stay in the rolling mill. In the end, he could only run to the cinema affiliated to the club and become a projectionist.
Xu Damao responded with a smile. His attitude was calm and there was no arrogance at all.
The Third Master, Yan Bugui, was watering the flowers carefully. When he saw Xu Damao passing by, he quickly revealed a fawning smile and came forward to greet him."Department Director Xu, you're off work. Have you eaten?”
Xu Damao smiled and shook his head." Third Uncle, I'm a junior. You can just call me Damao."”
Yan Bugui felt comfortable hearing this, but he still said politely,""That won't do. Director Xu, you've just been promoted. How can I take advantage of my seniority! I'll report the situation to you now!”
Xu Damao looked at him in surprise, thinking that this Yan Bugui would not wake up early if there was no benefit. After thinking for a while, he more or less understood his thoughts.
"Third Uncle, don't worry. My original promise is still valid. As long as you help me, I'll still sell this car to you for 180 yuan."”
Yan Bugui heaved a sigh of relief. This was what he was most worried about.
Originally, Xu Damao wanted to sell the car to subsidize his family. It was understandable to sell it cheaply. However, Xu Damao was no longer the same as before. He had been promoted to the head of the canteen and did not have to worry about food and drink. It was inevitable that he would change his mind.
Xu Damao's words made his heart fall back into his stomach.
" Don't worry," Yan Bugui quickly said." I've arranged everything. I'll put in a good word for you in front of Teacher Ran. I'll arrange for you to meet in three days at the latest."”
In fact, Yan Bugui was still doing the same old thing. He had been trying to get some benefits from Xu Damao, but who knew that he would suddenly become a leader. He did not dare to delay anymore. If Xu Damao noticed something, he would be in big trouble.
Xu Damao more or less understood Yan Bugui's intentions, but he didn't expose him. Instead, he handed over a basket of eggs.
"Third Master, thank you for your trouble.”
The wrinkles on Yan Bugui's face bloomed with a smile. He was flustered, and he didn't even want the spatula and shower head in his hands. He quickly took them.
"Department Director Xu, you're too polite! Don't worry, I, Yan Laoxi, always have a plan!”
Xu Damao said a few polite words and continued to push his bicycle forward. Yan Laoxi had received the benefits and was determined to settle the matter tomorrow.
Yu Li, who was secretly hiding in the room and observing, also heaved a sigh of relief. She was actually worried that Xu Damao would not admit it. Since the agreement was still valid, she had to hurry up and do Haitang's work.
She knew her sister well. She was as arrogant as a white swan. In the past, Xu Damao was just an ordinary staff member in the publicity department. Even if he had a lucrative job as a projectionist, he would not have caught her eye. However, he had suddenly become the head of the canteen. Her sister would definitely be tempted.
On the other hand, Xu Damao went home and put down his things. He took two bottles of Daqu that were given to him when he signed in. He was about to pay a visit to the old man. However, he did not expect that two burly young men would block the door.
"Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu? What are you two doing here?"
Xu Damao was a little surprised. He had never been very familiar with the second uncle's family. However, the second uncle was an official fan. It was reasonable for him to come and curry favor at this time.
"Oh, Second Uncle is treating me to a drink?”
"Brother Xu, no, Director Xu, the two of us are looking for you.”
Liu Guangtian was at a loss. He was so nervous that he couldn't organize his words for a long time. After all, strictly speaking, Xu Damao was the leader of the Siheyuan since the Qing Dynasty.
Liu Guangfu saw that his brother didn't say anything for a long time, so he couldn't hold it in anymore and told him his purpose.
"Chief Physician Xu, the two of us want to work with you! You're the leader. How can you do anything yourself? Just tell us. We can run errands and do anything!”
Liu Guangtian nodded and said,""Yes, yes, yes! It would be even better if he could get a temporary job.”
Xu Damao suddenly realized that the two brothers had not worked at home for a long time. In addition to the excessive education of the second uncle, they took special care of the Cheng family's eldest son, Liu Guangqi. If they were unhappy, they would beat and scold Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu. To be honest, it was a miracle that they could live healthily until now. It was just that they did not look very smart.
It just so happened that he was short of manpower right now. Moreover, the Liu brothers were quite simple-minded. They didn't have that many tricks up their sleeves, so he could use them without worry.
"No problem. I'm short of manpower! How about this, work with me tonight, and I'll give you a dollar a day for your hard work. If you do well, I'll give you an additional reward.”
Liu Guangtian and his brother were excited when they heard that. They could earn one yuan a day. If word got out, countless people would fight over it!
"Department Director Xu, just tell us. We will definitely do our best!”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Xu Damao instructed,"Alright then. Help me find a butcher now. I want someone with good skills."”
"No problem! Butcher Zhang from Sesame Alley next door was already an expert before the war. He didn't need to spend any money. He just needed to give him pig offal and pig treasure according to the rules.”Liu Guangtian didn't have a job, so he could only wander around aimlessly all day. He knew everything that happened in the alley.
Liu Guangfu also added," Now every family can't eat meat. Butcher Zhang has no place to use his energy. He can't rush over. I think he can just give them some noodles."”
Good heavens, these two brothers are really talented. Even the boss of 996 isn't as ruthless as you.
However, Xu Damao was very satisfied with his lackeys.
"Alright, call Butcher Zhang. If he has someone on his side, call him as well. Tomorrow morning at five o'clock, gather at the entrance of the courtyard.”
"Alright! Department Director Xu, you can take a rest. We will definitely come on time.”
The two brothers looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes. They were determined to do their best to leave a good impression on Department Director Xu.
