Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

After having a good meal and a good drink, Xu Damao came out of the main house. Just as he was about to go to the backyard, he saw Li Dongsheng's wife, Lin, standing at the door of the east wing.

"Mrs. Lin, Happy New Year." Xu Damao went over to greet Mrs. Lin.

"Brother Damao, Happy New Year. I don't see you very often. I have a lot of work to do in the street office, so I come back late. How are you?"

"I'm fine, sister-in-law. I just heard that Yuan Chao also went to the countryside to be an educated youth. Where did Yuan Chao go?"

"Brother Damao, there is no other way. As a staff member of the street office, you have to lead by example. But fortunately, Director Wang helped me choose a place not far from Kyoto: Jinxi, Liaoning. It is not far from Kyoto, and the train takes about ten hours to get there. And it is said to be close to the sea, so life should not be difficult."

"That's good, that's good. Yuan Chao has been smart since he was a child. Just treat it as a life experience."

Xu Damao suddenly thought of Li Dongsheng's daughter. Isn't she about the same age as Chen Zhiyong?

"Sister-in-law, where does Wei Hong work now? She seems to be almost 20 years old. Has she ever left home?"

"Brother Damao, Wei Hong just turned 20 this year, how can she get married so soon? She has suffered a lot in the past few years, taking care of everything at home. She just started working in the towel factory the year before last, and she has just been hired as a full-time employee. She doesn't have a partner yet, right?"

"Mrs. Lin, I see. I have a handsome young man here. Why don't you ask Wei Hong? If she really doesn't have a date, I can ask my wife to introduce one to Wei Hong."

"Is this true, Brother Damao? That would be great."

"Sister Lin, you've actually seen this young man a few times. He's my apprentice. Hi, he's also my adopted son now. Zhiyong, a projectionist at the steel mill. He's my wife's biological son. His current salary is less than 30 yuan, and with the subsidy for going to the countryside, it's steadily over 30 yuan. And sister-in-law, don't worry, if it really works out, there will definitely be no shortage of houses and dowries."

"Brother Damao, my daughter is grown up now. As her mother, I can't make decisions for her. I'll ask her later. If possible, let them meet and talk by themselves. What do you think?"

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll ask my wife to come over when the time comes. As a grown man, I won't participate in the rest of the matter."

"Okay, you can go find me at the street office."

Xu Damao is really happy today. How could Li Weihong from Yard 95 forget about it? Since Xu Damao successfully introduced Pu Ju and Hu Wanxi, and then Zhang Zhigang and Chen Zhiyu, he really wants to introduce a third successful couple. There are rumors that if you can be the matchmaker and introduce three couples to achieve marriage, you can be crowned with a lotus throne in the future. That is, you can be treated like a Bodhisattva, sitting cross-legged on a lotus throne. That means you can at least save yourself and become a Bodhisattva.

Whether this happened or not, there is no need to delve into it. The important thing is that Chen Zhiyong and Li Weihong are of similar age, and Li Weihong is the child of a glorious family, and is definitely a good child. Marrying this cheap adopted son of his family is definitely a downgrade. However, Xu Damao thought that the yard in Dongsishitiao would belong to Gu Meifang and her son in the future. If Lou Xiaoe came back, Xu Damao would definitely go through the divorce procedures with Gu Meifang. Chen Zhiyong's conditions were not bad either.

Today's banquet was very fruitful. I told Gu Meifang about it when I got home. I asked her to go to Hongxing Street to find Lin's family in a few days to find out clearly and let the two children meet as soon as possible. If Chen Zhiyong's lifelong event can be resolved this year, it will be Gu Meifang's biggest wish.

When Gu Meifang heard this, she couldn't contain her excitement. Within three days, she went to the street office to find Lin.

Xu Damao's concern for this matter ended here. The thread had already been tied, and he didn't care whether it would succeed or not. He still had to take care of his own affairs when he went to work in the new year.

Xu Damao also had to flatter Wu Lingjuan. Xu Damao was now very clear in the market. Wu's father had made another step forward. His position was not promoted, but his level was raised by one level. He was transferred to Dongcheng District to serve as the district secretary and district mayor, which was closer to the central government.

For Wu Lingjuan, Xu Damao is a steady and long-lasting relationship, neither hot nor cold, neither deliberate nor artificial, everything is natural. Speaking of which, the two have been classmates for three months, and they have been partners in the Propaganda Department for many years. Except for the lack of close relationship, other aspects are quite harmonious. This is also one of the reasons why Wu Lingjuan, who is optimistic, has not been transferred in these years. Partnering with Xu Damao, it is easy for her. After all, she is the mother of three children. Wu Lingjuan has no political ambitions, just to make a good living. Her man is running to climb up.

"Lingjuan, I don't have anything good to give you for the Spring Festival. After searching for a long time, I found a jade pendant, which I think is more suitable for you. So even if it is my New Year gift to you, you don't need other things."

Wu Lingjuan was used to it. She took the small yellow bag handed to her by Xu Damao and took out a look from it. It was a rectangular jade plate without any carvings. She didn't know the quality of the jade.

"Xu Damao, you are too insincere. There is no pattern at all."

"Wu Lingjuan, what does a 'Wu Shi Pai' mean? It has no decorations. No decorations means nothing, everything is safe and sound. This jade is made entirely of Hetian seed material, and it is old jade. Don't you like it? I won't give it to you." As he said this, he made a gesture to take it back.

"Hey, how can you be so shameless that you want to take back what you gave away. Thank you, I'll take it. It turns out that the Nothing Matter card is just a touch of color. Everything is fine, not bad, not bad."

"Lingjuan, you should pay more attention to the affairs of the department this year, whether it is the theater troupe or other affairs, you should pay more attention to them."

"Then what are you doing? I'm busy with everything. Do you want to go to heaven?"

"Here, my wife is pregnant and older, so I have to take care of her. My daughter Meifang is 36 this year, so I have to take care of her. Don't worry, I will do what I should do. You may not know, my wife used to be a country girl, and she gave birth to her first child at the age of , which hurt her body. So, ah, you know."

"Okay, okay, considering the gift you gave me, I agree. But I think you said you would treat me to a meal before the New Year, so don't break your promise. I remember it."

"Wu Lingjuan, it's not appropriate for us to eat alone. I'll treat you again if there's a chance, okay?"

"It's no big deal. I'm not afraid, so why should you be afraid?" Wu Lingjuan turned around, twisted her big butt, and walked out of Office 207.

On the first day of work, Xu Damao called the head factory manager Li Huaimin to congratulate him, even though he also went there to pay New Year's greetings. It would not go a wrong thing to keep in touch more often.

I went to the factory director's office, Li Huaide's, again and almost got into trouble. Fortunately, my five senses have been greatly enhanced now. I could hear the voices of Li Huaide and a woman through the wooden door. It seemed that Liu Lan was also inside.

Xu Damao quickly tiptoed downstairs and returned to his office, where he drank hot tea, smoked a cigarette, and crossed his legs.

One word: cool.
