Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

"Xu, the head of the main factory will be there to inspect the work tomorrow. Is there anything you can do?"

On the eve of National Day, He Lihua reported the information to Xu Damao.

"Is the intelligence accurate? Is it clear what the main purpose of the inspection is?"

"The production status of military spare parts. Of course, you may also need to take care of other things. You can make up for the daily work of the Propaganda Department."

Xu Damao happily said in the microphone, "Daughter-in-law, thank you for your timely notification. I will come to see you today.

"You're such a bad person. Okay, I'll wait for you tonight. You can't go back tonight, so stay with me."

Xu Damao quickly informed Wu Lingjuan next door, "Lingjuan, hurry up and inform everyone. Before 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, all the blackboards in the factory area must be updated. The focus is on grasping the progress and promoting the content of production. Arrange it as soon as possible."

"What? Any new developments?"

"Tomorrow the head of the factory will come to inspect, focusing on the production of military parts. Our Propaganda Department cannot discredit the inspection, and we must try to make it perfect."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Xu Damao went to the third cafeteria to find Liu Lan again.

"Captain Liu, didn't you report what I told you last time to Director Li?"

"Chief Xu, how dare I do that? I am not related to Director Li. How can I be his boss?"

Xu Damao actually overestimated Liu Lan's intentions. Liu Lan just wanted her family to have a better life. She was actually afraid of Li Huaide.

"Sister Lan, let's do this. Tomorrow is an opportunity. You don't need to tell Director Li. Tomorrow morning, go to Workshop 3 and ask the workshop director to borrow He Yuzhu to cook for you. The leaders of the general factory will come to inspect the work tomorrow, and there will definitely be a lunch party at noon. Let Yu Li do some ideological work on the stubborn Shazhu tonight, and make sure he comes to cook tomorrow. It will be of great benefit to you, Shazhu, and especially Director Li. At least don't let anyone know tomorrow. Do you understand?"

Liu Lan understood that there was a banquet tomorrow and asked Sha Zhu to perform well. Everything was self-explanatory.

"Okay, I understand. I'll tell Yu Li about this before I leave work."

The Propaganda Department also worked extremely quickly. Within a whole day, the contents of all fourteen blackboards were updated, newspapers were replaced in the newspaper columns, and even the colorful flags to be used tomorrow were cleaned and the poles were replaced for use.

Xu Damao was very satisfied with this and quietly promised that the National Day Propaganda Department would provide two kilograms of pork for each person at one yuan per kilogram without tickets. Appropriate rewards are still needed. Those who need to sign up are fools. You can't even buy it at one yuan and sixty cents per kilogram on the black market.

He then went back to Yandaixie Street and informed Gu Meifang that she would not be returning home that night before rushing to He Lihua's residence on Xishiku Street.

"Xu, is today's news useful?"

Xu Damao held He Lihua's face and kissed her hard a few times. "Wife, this is just in time. I'll republish all the blackboard newspapers in the factory. Anyway, the leaders won't be able to find any evidence against our Propaganda Department tomorrow."

"Go, who is your wife? Your wife is in another family."

"Lihua, I've told them that if you've really thought it through, I'll divorce you and get the marriage certificate with you after Xiaoru gives birth to the child. It's fine as long as you don't think I'm an asshole. As for Meifang, I've already made arrangements. She has a place to live on East 40th Street. Xiaoru has her own house and money, so I don't have to worry about her. I've also decided to give the child her surname. I've already picked the names: Fang Hanqing for the boy and Fang Shuying for the girl. If you want to have a child in the future, they can also take your surname. He Xinxin and He Chunjian are both possible names."

"Why? Does this name have any special meaning?"

"Sister Meifang's daughter, Shuangbang'er, Handan, lotus, noble. Hanqing, bamboo, suitable for boys. Shuying, there is a poem by a famous Southern Song Dynasty scholar: sparse shadows slant across the shallow water, and the faint fragrance floats in the moonlight at dusk. Shuying represents plum blossoms. Xinxin, Chunjian represents the subtle fragrance and nobleness of orchids. So the children are almost the same, and there will be no disputes in the future. Haha, am I a little bit crooked?"

"You haven't even shot down the wild goose yet, but you're already discussing whether to steam or boil it. Aren't you afraid that the wild goose will fly away?"

"That's not true. It doesn't exist. You have to spoil her to eat."

Xu Damao really has the ability to please girls. A conversation and a table of delicious food made He Lihua stunned. What else can I say? Where can I find such a good man?

Sure enough, the next day, just as Xu Damao had expected, Liu Lan really followed Xu Damao's method to prepare the lunch reception. Before leaving get off work, Li Huaide called Liu Lan to his office and said, "Tell me, what happened to the lunch reception today? Why do I taste the flavor of Sha Zhu's cooking?"

"Director, it has to be you, the one with the golden tongue, who is the cooking of Sha Zhu. Someone from the main factory is here, and as the squad leader, I have to protect your image. It's been so long since the incident with Sha Zhu, and you should have calmed down. He has paid the price he should have paid. Lao Li, I think we should send him back to the small canteen. His level is above level 6. It's possible that he will go to his master to plead for him and be transferred to a big restaurant. By then, you will be at a loss. After all, the factory's treatment of you out for dinner is not good for you personally and the reputation of the factory. You are a magnanimous person, so how can you not tolerate Sha Zhu?"

Li Huaide directly pulled Liu Lan to sit on his lap, "Lanzi, you are right, then this favor belongs to you. I will notify the personnel arrangements tomorrow. Sha Zhu will return to the third canteen and will still be treated as a level 6 chef. As for the others, forget about it. He will be under your command from now on."

Liu Lan stayed in the factory director's office until the end of get off work.

Yu Lifan was still waiting for her in the cafeteria.

"Yu Li, the director has agreed. Sha Zhu will return to the cafeteria, but he will no longer have a position. Will Sha Zhu have any objections?"

"No, it's good enough that he can recover to level 6 chef. He is not fit to be the deputy director of the cafeteria. Sister Lan, thank you. We two will know how to do it in the future. Don't worry, we won't let you down."

Yu Li was pregnant and almost kowtowed to Liu Lan.

Yu Li knew that Li Huaide was a man who would not release his eagle until he saw the rabbit. Liu Lan must have made some sacrifices during the long time she had spent there. She had experienced that kind of humiliating treatment herself, but she had to swallow it with gritted teeth. There were two children at home, one in her belly, and Sha Zhu was fired. How could they live?

Liu Lan did not take credit for it. "Yu Li, we have been together for many years. Sha Zhu has a bad temper, but his cooking skills are impeccable. Let him be more patient in the future. This matter was mainly the idea of ​​Chief Xu of the Publicity Department. You should thank him instead."

Only then did Yu Li realize that it was Xu Damao who was behind this and helped Sha Zhu overcome the difficulties.

Yu Li burst into tears the whole afternoon. Was it out of happiness, excitement, or something else? Only she knew.

At this time, Xu Damao had already returned home and was still studying his Five Elements Qi Refining Technique.

He really didn't believe that he couldn't break through this crappy mantra.

After meditating for half an hour, Li Weihong came to call him for dinner, but Xu Damao still had no results.

You have to drink, eat, and sleep without being affected by the broken mantra.

On September 9, Xu Damao prepared two kilograms of meat for the people in the Propaganda Department outside the factory. Each person was given two yuan and was required to take it away. The news was not allowed to leak out.

Hey, one by one they came and took the money and the meat.

All the staff in the Propaganda Department were overjoyed.

Wu Lingjuan left last. Xu Damao gave her five kilograms of meat for free and kept five kilograms of meat for himself.

Consummation.
