Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

Xu Xiaoling got married in the cool autumn. Her husband was Miao Yongqian, a technician from the same unit.

Xu Damao asked He Yuzhu to prepare five tables for the wedding banquet, and the wedding was quite grand.

Pu Ju and Hu Wanxi also got married. Just after Hu Wanxi graduated, she was assigned to Kyoto No. 3 Middle School, a school with a long history, to teach junior high school history.

He Yuzhu took over the banquet, and this time it was quite large, with Pu Yulin hosting 8 tables.

As an apprentice, student, and introducer of the newlyweds, Xu Damao and his entire family were invited to attend the wedding.

When toasting, Hu Wanxi habitually called him Brother Xu, and Xu Damao quickly corrected him, "Wanxi, now that you are married to my junior brother, you can no longer call me Brother Xu. I have to call you Sister-in-law from now on."

Pu Yulin was very satisfied with Hu Wanxi. Not only was she beautiful, but her family background and knowledge matched those of his son Pu Ju. The two had been in a free love relationship for more than three years and had a deep relationship. His in-law was also a professor of history at Peking University whom he knew.

Xu Damao also toasted his master Pu Yulin and Professor Hu Tianhua who had taught him. "Master, Professor Hu, are you two relieved now? The youngest Yong in the family has finally found his true love. Maybe he will have a grandson next year."

"Xiao Xu, I have to thank you for this. Your father-in-law introduced you to me, and I have relied on your help over the years. You were also the one who helped me with Wan Xi's matter, and helped me to deepen my relationship with Lao Pu. I have to offer you a glass of wine."

"Professor Hu, I don't deserve this. Wan Xi and Pu Ju fell in love at first sight. I just helped to arrange it. I won't take the credit. But I should still drink a few more glasses of wedding wine."

As the wedding chef, He Yuzhu finally opened his eyes this time, although he still hadn't figured out the specific relationship between Xu Damao and the people attending the wedding banquet. But no matter how you look at it, the people who came to the wedding were all, how to say: they talked and laughed with great scholars, and there were no unlearned people among them. Anyway, they were not like him. No wonder Xu Damao could be a cadre, and he had an extra ten percent of respect for Xu Damao in his heart.

The joyous event of the Year of the Dragon has not yet ended for Xu Damao.

As expected, Li Huaimin was transferred to the Propaganda Department of the main factory as deputy director after the National Day. The hat of the Propaganda Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was also placed on his head, and with the recommendation of Xu Damao, Wu Lingjuan was promoted to deputy section chief.

The factory unanimously approved Wu Lingjuan's promotion, without any suspense. Xu Damao thought this had something to do with Wu Lingjuan's father, who was promoted to district party secretary this year.

Whether it is Director Yang or Deputy Director Li, how could they oppose Wu Lingjuan's promotion?

Lou Xiao'e became pregnant when the Xiangshan Mountains were covered with gorgeous red leaves.

This made Lou Xiao'e very excited. Her long-cherished wish of having a daughter was about to come true. Xu Damao was also very excited. He took a special leave to accompany Lou Xiao'e to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up. He was relieved when everything was normal. In fact, Xu Damao also wanted to have a daughter. Only when you have both sons and daughters and both parents are alive can you be called a complete person. Everyone wants to be such a blessed person.

Lou Tan was even happier. She had never expected her daughter to be so successful, giving birth to two nephews in a row and now she was pregnant again. She would have someone to rely on from now on. Moreover, her son-in-law had been promoted at work.

Lou Tan made a special trip to her residence in Yandaixie Street and brought a box of gifts for Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e opened the small mahogany box and was stunned. It was a whole box of small yellow croakers (gold bars).

"Xiao'e, this is some of my private savings. I'm keeping this box for you as a backup. There are sixty-six gold bars in it. I'm just wishing you good luck."

"Mom, Damao and I are not short of money. You know, Damao has been doing some business privately in the past few years and can earn tens of thousands of yuan every year, which is much higher than the salary. Now Damao has been promoted and given a raise, so we are living a good life."

"Just take it if you give it to me. I have enough to eat and drink, so I can still use this little money. All my private savings will be yours in the future, so it's the same if I give it to you sooner."

Only then did Lou Xiao'e put the box away.

Hey, you have to know that a small yellow croaker weighs 31.25 grams, and 66 gold bars weigh more than two kilograms of gold, and you still say it's just a small amount of money. If ordinary people knew this, they would vomit blood.

But this is really a small amount of money for the Lou family. Lou Bancheng's reputation is not just bragging. He is a real big capitalist. The steel mill is a big industry, so he donated it.

When Xu's mother heard that her daughter-in-law Lou Xiao'e was pregnant again, she hurried over and offered to take care of Lou Xiao'e.

Xu Damao was very happy with his mother's initiative.

Although he is now the section chief, the unit is very busy. Moreover, although Chen Zhiyong has passed the technical test, he cannot independently undertake the task of delivering movies in the countryside according to the requirements. Xu Damao has to accompany him to the countryside. If the movie equipment is damaged, he will have to pay for it out of his own pocket. How dare Chen Zhiyong make his own decision? Fortunately, there are still a few months to complete the training. When Chen Zhiyong is a full-time apprentice next year, Xu Damao will not have to go to the countryside with him.

Thinking about the good things happening one after another, Xu Damao was quite happy.

Now all the affairs of the department have been basically handed over to Wu Lingjuan. In addition to accompanying the film screenings in the countryside, Xu Damao sits cross-legged in the office, smoking, drinking tea, standing, and carving. He also accompanies the factory leaders to eat and drink from time to time, and accompanies the superiors and business unit leaders. This is a small matter for Xu Damao now. After spontaneously practicing internal strength, his alcohol tolerance is absolutely huge. Not to mention two bottles of white liquor, he can still drink one and a half bottles. Besides, with several years of cadre experience, Xu Damao's talent and secretary experience, dealing with the situation is a piece of cake.

Just then, Xu Damao had just arrived at the factory to work and was about to have a leisurely time when the phone rang.

"Publicity Department Xu Damao, where is it?"

"Xiao Xu, sure. It's quite stylish to answer the phone. I'm Li Huaide."

"Director, I recognized you when you spoke. I have engraved your voice in my mind. If you have anything to say, I will ensure that the task is completed."

"Well, the district leaders are coming to inspect the factory today. You should have someone check the various responsibility areas of your Propaganda Department and make sure that what needs to be done is done and what needs to be done is done. At noon, you and Xiao Wu will go to the canteen to accompany the reception."

"Okay, I understand. I will assign tasks right away and try to beautify everything before the district leaders arrive."

Tasks are issued in a timely manner, and the usual work is done well. There is no need to cram at the last minute, just check it. Very calm.

"Wu Lingjuan, your work ability needs to be improved. Your father is coming to inspect the factory, but you didn't get such important information in the first place. Otherwise, our Propaganda Department would have done a great job this time." Xu Damao teased Wu Lingjuan.

"Hey, Xu Damao, I'm a married woman and I don't live with my parents. How would I know that my dad and his team are coming to inspect the factory? Besides, our factory is directly under the headquarters, so what are the district committee members doing here? There are so many things to do."

Xu Damao was shocked. This was what a daughter should say.

"Wu Lingjuan, your thoughts are a little far-fetched. Your father is obviously here to support you, but you, as a daughter, don't appreciate it. Your sweet little cotton-padded jacket is leaking. By the way, the factory director gave an order at noon. You come with me to accompany the leader."
