Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 90 Flattery
evening.

Zhou Weimin was cooking at the door, while Zhou Weibing was in the house, holding today's work notes and recalling the machines and process flows he had seen that day.

Liu Haizhong was carrying two bottles of wine and a plate of stewed potatoes. With a flattering smile, he walked up to Zhou Weimin and said, "Weimin, congratulations on becoming the deputy director of the canteen. Uncle Er just bought some meat today. How about we have a drink together today?"

"Hahaha, Master Liu, please sit inside for a while. I'll fry a few eggs and add some snacks. The guard just came down from the workshop today, and there's a lot he doesn't understand. Master Liu, please talk to him first. When I'm done here, we'll have a drink together."

Zhou Weimin was not surprised at all that Liu Haizhong would come.

This guy is crazy about becoming an official. If he becomes a leader, he will naturally come to curry favor with others. This is why Zhou Weimin had no contact with Liu Haizhong before.

After all, as long as I climb up, Liu Haizhong will definitely come over on his own.

"Okay, I'll go talk to the guards first. Weimin, take your time, there's no rush."

Liu Haizhong nodded happily and strode into the house.

He had seen it from the last time when Sha Zhu got beaten up that Zhou Weimin really cared about his younger brothers and sisters. As long as he had a good relationship with Zhou Weibing, his relationship with Zhou Weimin would not be bad.

Now that the opportunity to build a good relationship has come, how could he not seize it?

Zhou Weimin glanced into the room, chuckled, and continued to cook.

"Wei Min, congratulations on your promotion. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I haven't prepared anything yet. I'll just have something to eat later."

Not long after, Xu Damao also walked into the front yard, holding a plate of braised pork and a plate of fried peanuts and spoke in a familiar voice.

He glanced into the room and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smiled: "Wow, the second uncle is here too, this is really fast."

Zhou Weimin smiled helplessly, winked at Xu Damao, and said in a slightly higher voice: "Brother Damao, put the vegetables in the room and help me get four eggs from the cupboard."

"You must be tired. I'll help you."

Xu Damao understood, walked into the house, put down the food in his hand, greeted the two people, took out four eggs from the cupboard, and quickly returned to Zhou Weimin.

Zhou Weimin was stir-frying the cabbage in the pot and lowered his voice to say to Xu Damao, "Brother Damao, the difficult times are over. This year will definitely be better than last year. You will have a lot of tasks ahead of you."

"Hey, go to the countryside as much as possible. There's nothing to do in the factory anyway."

Hearing this, Xu Damao said nonchalantly that he could earn more money by going to the countryside more often.

"Brother Sihai will be transferred to the textile factory as the director of the publicity department soon. I heard that it was an order from the higher-ups. The textile factory and our steel rolling mill are brother factories, and we have exchanges on many things. Maybe this year the factory will have a lot of extra cloth coupons to reward outstanding employees."

Zhou Weimin quickly took the cabbage out of the pot, scooped a ladle of water to rinse the pot, and slowly turned his head to look at Xu Damao.

"Wei Min, are you saying that Deputy Section Chief Hong wants to..."

Xu Damao's eyes lit up, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhou Weimin.

"Bring the dishes in first, and walk slowly."

It was quite unexpected for Zhou Weimin that Hong Sihai promoted him, but it was a good thing for him. After all, there was some friendship between him and Hong Sihai.

Maybe if something happens in the future, he can ask Hong Sihai for help. Naturally, the higher his promotion, the better.

Xu Damao shut up, took the fried cabbage and went into the house. When he came out with a smile on his face, Zhou Weimin had already brushed a layer of oil on the pan and was beating eggs in a bowl.

Looking at Zhou Weimin's movements, he said for fun: "Weimin, your skills are really good. You look no worse than Shazhu."

"I'll be happier if you praise me again later." Zhou Weimin rolled his eyes and then asked, "Brother Damao, how is your projection technology now? After Brother Sihai left, can you be considered the best in the factory?"

How could Xu Damao not understand what Zhou Weimin meant? He immediately patted his chest and assured, "Of course. I remember what you told me last time. In the last few months of last year, I went to my dad's place many times. There is absolutely no problem with the projection technology."

Zhou Weimin quickly stir-fried the eggs and said nonchalantly, "Brother Sihai will stay for at most half a month. The leaders have been entertaining quite a lot recently."

"Xiao'e brought back a lot of good things from home. I'll bring them over after I finish drinking. See if there's anything you can use. Let me also contribute to the factory."

Xu Damao quickly took over the conversation and looked at Zhou Weimin with burning eyes.

"It doesn't have to be too much, just an excuse, enough for a one-time treat."

Zhou Weimin smiled and said softly, took the scrambled eggs out of the pan and handed them to Xu Damao.

Then he raised his voice and shouted to the room: "Guards, clear the table. I'm ready here. I'm going to wash my hands and prepare to eat."

"Got it, big brother."

Upon hearing this, Guard Zhou closed the notebook and stood up to get the dishes and chopsticks.

Zhou Weimin washed the pot, turned off the stove, washed his hands, and then went into the house.

He closed the door, took out two bottles of Sanbai from the cupboard, and then sat down at his seat.

"We don't have any good food at home, but we have plenty of wine. Master Liu, Brother Damao, we won't go home until we're drunk today."

Xu Damao poured wine for the group, stood up, raised his glass and said, "Wei Min, what you said is wrong. If our snacks are not good, then what we usually eat are not snacks. Congratulations to Wei Min on his promotion to deputy director of the canteen. Let us toast you first."

Zhou Weimin stood up with a smile and said loudly: "I wish you all continued success and prosperity."

"I wish you a prosperous future, big brother."

"Congratulations to Weimin on his promotion. I hope you will get better and better in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wine glasses of several people clinked together and they drank them all in one gulp.

After a glass of wine, the atmosphere at the table began to warm up.

"Wei Min, I knew you were a promising person. You looked smart since you were young. It hasn't been long since you joined the factory, and you've become a leader."

Liu Haizhong looked at Zhou Weimin flatteringly, and his compliments came out without any hesitation.

"Yes, Wei Min used to be good at studying. This is the Wei Min of our generation!"

Xu Damao gave a thumbs up and continued with a smile.

"I'm just lucky. If anyone is really good, it's Brother Damao. Many people in the factory say that Damao's movies are great. It's only a matter of time before he becomes a leader."

Zhou Weimin waved his hand, changed the subject and raised Xu Damao's hand.

Xu Damao just smiled when he heard this. Zhou Weimin had just hinted at what he should do, so what he said now was just an excuse.

Who made us enjoy a nice drink when this tactless guy Liu Haizhong came over to us?
