Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

Zhang Weiguo and Lou Xiaoe after some relaxing play.

Zhang Weiguo then formally asked: "Ezi, is there something important that brought you to the factory to see me today?"

"I have heard rumors about you. I am a little worried about you." Lou Xiao'e continued, "Brother Weiguo, don't worry. I believe you."

Zhang Weiguo felt a little guilty. Even though those rumors were nonsense, he would make them a reality in the future.

"Ezi, don't worry, the Security Department is already investigating. I believe it won't take long to find out the answer. Besides, dear, don't you trust your own man?" After saying this, Zhang Weiguo kissed Lou Xiao'e on the face.

Lou Xiao'e's face instantly turned red like a peach. She patted Zhang Weiguo's arm shyly and said shyly, "Hey, Brother Weiguo, don't be like this."

After Zhang Weiguo's jokes, Lou Xiao'e put her worries aside.

Zhang Weiguo continued, "Ezi, I will go to your house in a few days to propose marriage, okay?"

"Ah," Lou Xiao'e didn't expect Zhang Weiguo to be so sudden that she didn't react for a while.

Zhang Weiguo asked Lou Xiao'e again, "Ezi, are you okay?"

Lou Xiao'e said shyly, "Yeah."

Zhang Weiguo happily kissed Lou Xiao'e on the face again, making her so shy that she didn't dare to look up.

In the afternoon, Mr. Zhong walked into Zhang Weiguo's office.

"Weiguo, I have good news for you."

Zhang Weiguo asked, "Uncle Zhong, what's the good news?"

"After investigation, the Security Department has identified the person who spread your rumor. He is from the Propaganda Department of our factory and his name is Xu Damao."

Zhang Weiguo was a little speechless and thought, "Xu Damao, I don't think I have any grudge against him. Forget it, whether there is a grudge or not, since he dared to spread rumors about me, I must teach him a lesson."

Zhang Weiguo said to Mr. Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, I know him. He and I live in the same courtyard."

Engineer Zhong said, "We are from the same courtyard. Do you have any grudges against each other?"

"Probably not. I can't think of how I have offended him."

Zhong Gong continued, "Forget it, no matter whether there is any grudge or not. Don't worry, Weiguo, since he dares to slander his comrades at will, he must not be let off easily this time."

"Well, I'll trouble Uncle Zhong then."

"If you have any trouble, just call me Uncle Zhong." After saying this, Mr. Zhong left, probably to deal with Xu Damao.

While having lunch at noon, a sound suddenly came from the factory radio.

"Hey, comrades, we are here to convey a criticism notice from the factory."

"Just last week, Comrade Xu Damao from our factory's Propaganda Department spread false statements about Comrade Zhang Weiguo for no reason, which brought great negative impact and distress to Comrade Zhang Weiguo.

In response to this incident, the factory, after careful consideration, decided to take the following measures against Comrade Xu Damao:

1. Deduct three months' salary from Comrade Xu Damao as a punishment.

2. Comrade Xu Damao will be transferred from his original projectionist position to the factory health department, where he will be responsible for toilet hygiene work throughout the factory.

We hope that Comrade Xu Damao can deeply reflect on his own behavior, learn from it and correct his mistakes.

At the same time, we also hope that fellow workers can take this as a warning, not to believe or spread unverified information, and work together to maintain the good image and order of our factory."

Zhang Weiguo didn't expect the factory to be so efficient. They only took two hours to discuss the punishment and even broadcast it. But this was just a punishment from the factory, and Zhang Weiguo didn't intend to let Xu Damao off.

At the same time, Xu Damao, who had just finished his meal and returned to the Propaganda Department, felt very disappointed. He did not expect that the factory would punish him so severely. They actually asked him to clean the toilet. This... wouldn't it be embarrassing for him in the future? How could he find a wife in the future? How could he find a close sister to talk about life? Also, Sha Zhu would laugh to death in the future. And Zhang Weiguo, that bastard, was really cruel.

No, I have to find someone to think of a solution.

After some thought, Xu Damao left the factory without even asking for leave, intending to go back to his father to think of a solution.

When Sha Zhu, who was serving food to people in the cafeteria, heard about the punishment for Xu Damao, he suddenly felt much better. He even stopped shaking the spoon when serving food to others. This made people who had served food to Sha Zhu before feel a little strange.

After dinner, Zhang Weiguo came to the office of Deputy Director Li.

Dangdang——

"Come in." When Deputy Director Li saw that the person coming was Zhang Weiguo, he immediately said enthusiastically, "It's Weiguo, please sit down. Xiao Sun, please go and get the good tea I have collected."

Zhang Weiguo said directly without beating around the bush: "Director Li, I came here today to trouble you with something."

When Deputy Factory Director Li heard that Zhang Weiguo had something to bother him with, he thought to himself, "The more troublesome it is, the better. Wouldn't it be possible to make Zhang Weiguo owe me a favor? When I really need help, he will be embarrassed not to help me."

"Weiguo, it's no trouble at all. Just tell me directly. I will definitely do it for you as long as I can do it."

"Director Li, this is the case. I have a neighbor named Liu Haizhong who is a seventh-level worker in our forging workshop. Today he came to me and said that he has been working hard but has never been promoted. He heard from somewhere that you and I have a good relationship, so he hoped that I could tell you about it."

Zhang Weiguo continued, "Director Li, you don't have to be too embarrassed. If this matter is difficult to handle..."

After hearing what Zhang Weiguo said, Deputy Director Li knew what he was going to do. He just wanted to promote Liu Haizhong.

"Weiguo, don't worry, I know about this. I will find out about the situation and see if there is anything I can do. You go back and tell Liu Haizhong to rest assured that I will do my best to help." Director Li interrupted Zhang Weiguo and said that he would pay attention to this matter.

As soon as Zhang Weiguo heard it, he knew that the deal was done, but he was afraid that Deputy Director Li would lift his bangs too high, and he would really owe him a favor.

Zhang Weiguo explained: "It's like this. Liu Haizhong graduated from a junior high school, so he may not be able to be promoted to a high position. I think a team leader is enough. This can not only improve his work enthusiasm but also show that Director Li cares about his subordinates."

Deputy Factory Director Li understood that he just didn't want to be promoted too high. This was fine, he was just a team leader, and he only needed to say a word.

"Okay, I will pay attention to this matter of Weiguo. Come and try this tea, but I brought it from my father-in-law, it's really good stuff."

Zhang Weiguo saw that it was the same thing he had gotten from Director Yang before. He thought, "Should I take it with me when I leave later? Forget it. After all, I'm asking someone to do me a favor today."

"Then I'd like to taste Director Li's good tea."

After sitting in Deputy Director Li’s office for a while, Zhang Weiguo left.

At this time, Deputy Director Li's secretary asked: "Director Li, although Zhang Weiguo is a talented person, you don't have to be so polite."

Deputy Director Li did not answer Xiao Sun's question, but asked: "Xiao Sun, do you know who Zhang Weiguo's teacher is?"

"This...I don't know."

"He is a person of a higher level than my father-in-law. And Zhang Weiguo's talent in scientific research will sooner or later reach the level of his teacher. So, let him owe us a little more now, and in the future..." Deputy Director Li stopped talking here and said to the secretary, "Xiao Sun, you still need to learn more."

"I understand, Director."
