The Dog King of Siheyuan Tears and Rebirth

At noon the next day, in a private room in the steel mill cafeteria, Li Huaide, Xu Damao, and He Yuzhu were toasting each other.

This game was organized by Xu Damao, for no other reason than that a deputy director of the factory had retired recently and Xu Damao had some ideas about this position, so he specially organized this game.

"Da Mao, you are not just inviting me to dinner today, right?" Li Huaide asked after drinking a glass of wine, "You are not going to tell me that you also have ideas about that position, right?"

"Oh, Director Li is really amazing. I can see it all. To be honest, I have learned a lot from following you, Director Li, during this period of time. My enthusiasm for serving the people has also increased, so..." Xu Damao said bluntly.

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Director Li smiled and shook his head and said, "No, that position belongs to the person in charge of the workshop, and you don't understand it. I'm afraid you will mess things up again. The reason why it hasn't been decided yet is that I'm worried about this."

"This... I haven't thought about it. I just want to contribute to the people." Xu Damao said embarrassedly. He really hadn't thought about it when Director Li said that, so he didn't know what to say for a moment!

Seeing the embarrassed Xu Damao, He Yuzhu immediately tried to smooth things over, "Hey, Director Li is right. The workshop needs professionals. You can really go there. Director Li is right."

"Well, look at how conscious Zhuzi is. Although he is just a cook, he has a broad vision. So next time, I will let you shine when I have the chance." Director Li said with a smile.

"But there is a solution." He Yuzhu suddenly said with a smile.

Looking at He Yuzhu's expression, Xu Damao immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

Even Director Li looked at He Yuzhu in confusion and asked, "Zhuzi, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that you should think about the problem from a different angle! Instead of always thinking about promoting people from below, can't you transfer them horizontally? If I remember correctly, the current Deputy Director Fan who is in charge of our logistics used to be in charge of the workshop! Transfer Director Fan there, and then the vacant position will be that of the director in charge of logistics, right?" He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Oh, why didn't I think of this?" Li Huaide laughed, "I've been having a headache for several days. I've been thinking about this candidate, but I finally thought of it for you, the chef. That's great, that's great, hahaha!"

"Hey, it's not that Director Li can't think of it, it's that you're too busy. Your mind is full of factory affairs, so how can you spare the time? As for me?" He Yuzhu smiled, "I don't have any time in my mind. When you mentioned it, I thought of Deputy Director Fan, because he always told me how he managed the workshop before."

Hearing what He Yuzhu said, Li Huaide was very satisfied. He Yuzhu was getting better and better at talking, and he always took his face into consideration. So he smiled and said, "Zhuzi, do you have any ideas? That's why you came up with this idea. If you have any, just say it. When Deputy Director Fan is transferred, I will arrange for you to take over for him. Anyway, you are familiar with logistics."

Hearing what Director Li said, Xu Damao became anxious. He had never regarded He Yuzhu as an opponent, because he knew that He Yuzhu had no intention of getting promoted. But now that the piece of meat was in front of him, he really didn't believe that He Yuzhu would not eat it, so he looked at He Yuzhu with resentment.

Looking at Xu Damao's resentful eyes, He Yuzhu was very happy in his heart, but it was only for a short while. "No, no, no, Director Li, you flatter me. I'm just a cook. I said, I won't do anything that is not related to being a cook in this life. I think Section Chief Xu is good. He is good at dealing with people. I think this area is very suitable for him in the later stage." He Yuzhu said.

"You, I knew you would say that. As expected, you are still the pillar who likes to guard the kitchen. Not bad, you must remember your original intention to succeed. Very good." Director Li said, "Then let Xu Damao take over! I will arrange for everyone to go through the procedures this afternoon, and Xu Damao, you can take office!"

Hearing that Director Li had made the decision, Xu Damao was overjoyed. He looked at He Yuzhu with gratitude and immediately expressed his loyalty, "Director Li, I will live up to your expectations and follow you to serve the people. Come, I'll drink three first. Thank you Director Li for your cultivation." As he said that, Xu Damao drank three in one breath.

"Da Mao, that's good. Keep working hard in the future. Let's work together and strive to make the factory better and better." Li Huaide said with satisfaction.

After a while, Director Li left after eating and drinking. Only Xu Damao and He Yuzhu were left. "He Yuzhu, thank you! You gave me such a good opportunity. Don't you really want to be promoted? You don't even want to take the fat meat in your mouth?"

"Haha, I told you a long time ago that canteen director is my limit at the steel mill. I never thought about getting promoted. It's so tiring to work for such a small salary!" He Yuzhu explained.

"Hey, I used to think you were a little hypocritical, but today I finally see that you really don't want to be promoted. But you are indeed not short of money. Who told you that you were the son-in-law of a big capitalist? You got a lot of dowry, right?" Xu Damao joked.

Hearing Xu Damao's words, He Yuzhu said nothing, just smiled.

"Hey, I know even without you telling me, it must be a lot."

"No, just a little bit, just enough to raise my three daughters." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

……

In the afternoon, when it was almost time to get off work, the radio started to broadcast, "Hello, everyone. I am the announcer Yu Haitang. I am now reporting a notice. Xu Damao, the former head of the Propaganda Section of our factory, worked diligently and responsibly. Now, after research by the Party Committee of the Steel Rolling Mill, it has been decided to appoint Comrade Xu Damao as the deputy director of the Steel Rolling Mill, in charge of all logistical matters of the Steel Rolling Mill. I hope all the workers will be aware of this..."

In the toilet, Jia Zhang, who was cleaning the toilet, heard the news and started cursing again, "This factory is really full of rubbish. A beast like Xu Damao can be the factory director. He is really blind..."

Just as he was cursing, Captain Zhang walked in, "Jia Zhang, who are you scolding? Do you know that Director Xu will be in charge of us from now on? Don't you even want to clean the toilet?"

"Ah? No, no," Jia Zhang hurriedly explained, "Captain Zhang, you heard me wrong. I wasn't cursing anyone. I was saying that Xu Damao is a great kid. I've seen him being smart since he was a kid. He's definitely going to be a high-ranking official."

"Humph, don't think I'm deaf. If it weren't for the fact that we have the same surname, Zhang, I would have told Director Xu about this. Clean it up quickly. Can't you smell anything?" Captain Zhang said.

"Okay, okay, I'll clean it right away and make sure it's thorough." Having said that, Jia Zhang immediately sped up the cleaning.
