Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

The matter of electing the officer in charge once again made the compound lively.

However, compared to last time, Old Yan Fugui was unusually calm this time.

I stood out in the last election and became the second-in-command, so even if I can't become the first-in-command this time, at least I can keep my capital.

Old Liu is the opposite of him, he is very active!

He went back and forth between the former and the latter Intermediate Courts. Xiao Weiguo's abdication left him with no sense of crisis. Adding to that the stimulation of his eldest son leaving the court, he was now completely focused on his official career.

He is bound to create a trend in the hospital first and strive to crush Yan Fugui to become the leader of the new leadership team.

Xu Damao was promoted to the leader of the projection group, so he naturally had ambitions. In addition, Xiao Weiguo had already removed the title of uncle, so he also had to give it a try.

Although Lao Zhang was also moved with sympathy, due to Xu Damao's growing strength and the prospect of competition, he was an upright person and did not want to work with a villain like Xu Damao, so he quietly retired.

Even if others had ideas in their minds, they felt that the cost was too high and gave up silently.

Xiao Weiguo comforted Shi Gan and Qin Jingru and did not go to the factory until noon.

Fortunately, the factory affairs have not been too busy recently, otherwise I would be very busy.

"Chief Xiao, you're back from work!"

The guard greeted Xiao Weiguo enthusiastically, and Xiao Weiguo responded with a smile.

As the saying goes, people have no choice in the workplace. Don't think that a doorman is just a gatekeeper. Often the smaller the role, the more friendly you have to be to treat him. You can't act class-consciously. During this period, you have to get along well with the people.

In the office, when Liu, Li and others saw the section chief coming back, they all stood up and greeted him.

"Chief, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look radiant. Congratulations on your promotion!"

Big Liu spoke haltingly, Xiao Weiguo smiled and raised his eyebrows, then began to sigh.

"Hey, even though I'm a father now, I'm still worse than being a son. This kid doesn't sleep at night and cries loudly, which makes me feel dizzy and listless."

As he was speaking, Xiao Weiguo had already walked into the office, leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

Xiao Li was also very considerate and poured a glass of warm water and brought it over, "Section Chief, please drink some water. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, be careful not to get angry!"

Xiao Weiguo took the water cup and took out a few boxes of cigarettes from his arms and threw them to the others. "You must have been very busy these few days while I was away. I hope nothing serious happened to Corey!"

The implication of this cigarette is to win people's hearts and collect intelligence from the factory.

Although their department is not as well-informed as the old ladies in the Labor and Personnel Department, Xiao Li is very accomplished in information exchange.

What's more, Xiao Weiguo only cares about major events in the factory and doesn't care about trivial matters at all.

Several other colleagues also looked at Xiao Li at the same time. He was nicknamed the Chief of the Information Center of the Purchasing Department, and it was not a title that was given for nothing.

"Chief, I just heard something..."

As Xiao Li looked around, Da Liu slapped him on the back of his head and said, "The chief's office must be safe. Stop wasting time and tell me!"

Xiao Li cleared his throat and said, "Um... I heard from Sister Hua from the Labor and Personnel Department that... the head of our first department was under investigation..."

Being investigated?

Xiao Weiguo quickly drank some water to calm his nerves. Zhang Jin, the chief of Section 1?

"Zhang Jin was reported?"

Xiao Li shook his head. "I heard that his father-in-law is a famous Chinese medicine doctor in Beijing, specializing in treating senior leaders. His consultation fee is extremely expensive..."

Xiao Li's words undoubtedly made everyone frightened.

Xiao Weiguo understood even more clearly that the storm was coming!

"Xiao Ke, this is a golden opportunity for you. You have taught a department before and are familiar with all its affairs. I think you should take this opportunity..."

Xiao Weiguo quickly waved his hands to refuse. It was too late to dodge now, so how could he run into the muzzle of a gun!

A big tree attracts the wind, so it is not necessarily a good thing for capable people to work harder at this time.

Xiao Li and the others nodded in confusion to show that they understood, and the conversation was over.

Then Xiao Li started to babble on and on about some gossip, including the romantic affairs between Liu Lan and Li Huaide in the kitchen.

Although the rumors are true, as long as the couple is not caught in the act, they are just rumors!

Xiao Weiguo also teased Xiao Li, telling him to be careful with his words and not to be caught by Director Li, otherwise he would be in trouble.

At lunchtime, Xiao Weiguo appeared in the cafeteria in a low-key manner. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a group of people surrounding Xu Damao.

"You're working so hard, and you're holding a meeting during meals? It's hard to be so dedicated to your job!"

Seeing that the person coming was Xiao Weiguo, Xu Damao grinned and laughed wildly.

"Everyone, Section Chief Xiao and I are neighbors. He used to be the most important man in our hospital! But now... Hehe, don't worry, brother Weiguo, I will protect you from now on!"

Xiao Weiguo frowned and almost choked on his words. The other people at the table also laughed awkwardly.

"You look pretty good today. Why did Lou Xiao'e ask you to go to bed? You don't have to sit on the bench anymore?"

This was a slap in the face for Xu Damao. He was boasting that he was the one who had the final say at home just a second ago, but now he was forced to sleep on a bench by his wife. He was definitely the first person in the steel mill to do this.

What's more, these people are like gossips. Xu Damao's trivial matter was known to everyone in the factory before the end of the working day.

"Xiao Ke, you didn't see it, so you can't lie!"

Xu Damao still wanted to quibble, feeling extremely regretful. Why did he provoke him for no reason?

This is just asking for trouble!

Xiao Weiguo smiled awkwardly, handed a cigarette to a few people, and started talking. As he was talking, he accidentally exposed another scandal of Xu Damao.

This made Xu Damao very angry, but he could do nothing about Xiao Weiguo. He couldn't beat him, and he couldn't compare to him in terms of status in the factory!

Having the title of Lou family's son-in-law is now also a burden.

"Is there anyone who hasn't eaten yet? Come quickly to get your meal. If you come any later, the soup will be gone!"

The kitchen helper at the cafeteria window looked at the big basin with a spoon as a reminder, and the gossiping group then dispersed.

Xiao Weiguo was in the front row. The kitchen helper had just prepared the food and Sha Zhu was walking out of the kitchen while wiping his hands.

"Hey, you came to the cafeteria to eat today? Didn't you go out?"

Sha Zhu knew it clearly in his mind. There weren't that many business trips outside. Xiao Weiguo's only business trip was to take care of the children at home.

Xiao Weiguo raised his eyebrows, wishing he could slap his brother-in-law twice for being so rude.

Taking the spoon, Sha Zhu wiped his mouth and took over the work.

But Xu Damao refused to do it!

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Where is the kitchen helper? Ask him to come out and serve me some food!"

As he said that, Xu Damao threw his bowl onto the table with a bang. No one could stand such a show of ruining the place, let alone Comrade He Yuzhu!

"Xu Damao, are you crazy? This is the cafeteria. It's good enough that someone serves you food. Don't be so picky and act like a big shot!"

"Eat it or not, it's your choice!"

As he said that, Sha Zhu also threw his stuff into the basin, showing no fear. The two men looked at each other with a strong sense of tension.
