Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

The sneering laughter of several women could be heard from time to time in the office. After chatting for a while, they ran to Section Chief Xie's office and whispered to each other. No one knew what they said.

Zhang Minghui knew without listening that Xu Damao was in big trouble. None of the women in the Propaganda Department had any intention of fighting for power and wealth, and they just wanted to get by in the Propaganda Department.

But anyone who dares to look down on them or provoke them will definitely end up in trouble.

They are all family members of leaders. They usually joke with you only because you are from the Propaganda Department and they don’t treat you as an outsider.

Xu Damao, you dare not take your leader seriously and flirt with others outside. If we don't take ruthless action against you, who will respect Section Chief Xie in the future?

Zhang Minghui has never worked in a state-owned enterprise, so he doesn't know whether his guess is correct.

"You've never eaten pork, but you've seen pigs run." If you dare to offend your leader, you don't believe that your leader will not make things difficult for you.

three days later

After his honeymoon, Xu Damao happily rode his bicycle to work. He just arrived at his office, which was where he and another old projectionist worked.

The room was not big, only about 10 square meters. There were two desks. Just after they were cleaned, another old projectionist, Li Chunsheng, came into the room and congratulated Xu Damao when he saw him.

"Da Mao, I heard that you got married. Congratulations. I was in the countryside showing a movie and missed your wedding. Don't be angry!"

Xu Damao responded with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Li, what are you talking about? Just say that. Come to my place someday and we'll have a drink."

The two were talking when Liu Huilan from the Propaganda Department came in. Seeing Xu Damao coming, she smiled and started talking.

"Da Mao is here for work. Section Chief Xie asked me to see if you've come over! Come with me! The Section Chief has something important to tell you."

Xu Damao quickly followed Liu Huilan to the Propaganda Department, and saw Zhang Minghui cleaning the house, and immediately started making a joke.

"Minghui, good, you are quite capable! That's the way it should be. Young people should be able to do things and find more work for themselves."

Afterwards, she greeted several people in the office, and the sisters responded lukewarmly.

After Xu Damao entered, the office suddenly became quiet. Everyone pricked up their ears, listening to what was happening in Section Chief Xie's office.

When Xie Shuyun saw Xu Damao knocking on the door and coming in, she quickly stood up and greeted Xu Damao warmly. After asking Xu Damao to sit down, she personally poured him a cup of boiled water.

Seeing the enthusiastic Xie Shuyun, Xu Damao did not realize something was wrong and hurriedly stood up to thank Section Chief Xie.

Xie Shuyun first asked Xu Damao how his married life was going these days. After chatting for a few words, Xie Shuyun's face became serious and she spoke solemnly.

"Comrade Xu Damao, you have been in the factory for several years."

Xu Damao answered with the same serious expression.

"Boss, I entered the factory when I was 16 years old. I worked as an apprentice for three years and then worked for five years after becoming a regular employee. I have been working in the factory for eight years now."

Xie Shuyun nodded with satisfaction and began to speak.

"Comrade Xu Damao, the organization has noticed your performance over the years, and everyone has witnessed your achievements in the Propaganda Department."

"Now the organization is going to give you a difficult task. The Second Machine Repair Factory under our factory is in Fangshan District. The factory has not trained any projectionists, and their factory director has been reporting this to the main factory."

"We want the factory to send them a projectionist so that we can help them train their own projectionist."

"After a meeting at the factory, we believe that you, Xu Damao, are suitable for this job."

"Comrade Xu Damao, as a key member of our Propaganda Department, we hope you can demonstrate your hard-working spirit and bring care and condolences to our subordinate factories."

"Help them develop talents and see if they have the confidence to complete the tasks assigned to them by the organization."

Xu Damao was so restless that his face turned green. When he heard that he was going to Fangshan, it was like a bolt from the blue, and his head was buzzing.

I, Xu Damao, was exiled.

He didn't hear the rest of the words clearly. Xu Damao was in a trance, thinking in disbelief.

"Am I still asleep? I am still dreaming. Everything in a dream is the opposite. I am dreaming."

The Propaganda Department was silent, with only the sound of panting and occasional inhalation of air. Not only was Zhang Minghui stunned, but several sisters were also frightened.

Zhang Minghui took a breath. He didn't expect Section Chief Xie to be so cruel.

Xu Damao was sent away directly, without even having time to react.

Zhang Minghui really knows about the subordinate factories. There are many people in the factory now. The factory seems particularly bloated, which was approved by the superiors two years ago.

Some of the factory's staff were distributed to set up several subsidiary factories to serve the main factory.

After the planning and adjustment, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill now has more than 5 employees. The management efficiency has been greatly improved compared with the past. The production capacity has also increased by 15 percentage points.

Received special praise from superiors.

The problem with subsidiary factories is not only poor pay, but the most important issue is that there are relatively few opportunities for advancement. When working in a subsidiary factory, competition for every position is extremely fierce.

Without a background, your future is basically gone and you can only be stuck in your job.

Unlike here at the head office, where I can contact leaders at all times, the chances of promotion are greater, and there are more positions at the head office, so I have room to choose.

"Comrade Xu Damao, Comrade Xu Damao, I'm giving you a mission, what's your attitude? Why haven't you responded for such a long time? Are you sleepwalking?"

Xie Shuyun's face was grim, and she stared at Xu Damao with eyes as sharp as knives. She knocked on the table and yelled at him loudly.

Xu Damao hurriedly came to his senses and spoke with a trembling voice.

"Leader, no, I was just thinking about the task you assigned to me. It's like this. I'm still young and not very practical. Can you consider sending some old comrades over?"

"They are experienced and good at handling various matters. I am afraid that I am young and cannot successfully complete the tasks assigned to me by the organization!"

Xie Shuyun's expression relaxed a little and she spoke softly.

"Comrade Xu Damao, I understand your feelings. Don't be afraid to do your work. You are a professional backbone trained by our Propaganda Department. I believe you can successfully complete the tasks assigned to you by the organization."

"This matter has been discussed at the meeting and it's a foregone conclusion. Your file has been transferred. You will go to work at the factory in Fangshan District next Monday!"

"I've left you a few days, so you should prepare well!"

"By the way, hand over your bicycle to the logistics department, and clean up the office later. There are two new apprentices who need to learn projection technology from Master Li."
