Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

Xu Damao followed Li Huaide's suggestion and visited Director Yang, the secretary's office, the deputy secretary's office, the director of the personnel department, the union chairman, and the union chairman's office as soon as possible.

This can be regarded as an appearance and registration in front of the factory leadership team. As for who Xu Damao stood behind in the end, only he himself knew.

Procedures still need to be followed and rules still need to be observed.

After that, Li Huaimin returned to the Propaganda Department and summoned all the propaganda department staff in the factory to read out Xu Damao's appointment letter in the department in advance.

Xu Damao looked as usual, and with the help of the propaganda officers, he cleaned Office 207 and moved all his personal belongings from the document room to the new office.

Wu Lingjuan even went to office 207 alone to offer her congratulations.

"Xu Damao, that's great. He was promoted to deputy section chief without much fanfare. I thought that after Lao Gu left, Lin Junsheng would fill the position of deputy section chief. I didn't expect Xu Yaojin to show up halfway. That's great."

"Wu Lingjuan, things are not what you think. I didn't expect it myself. In fact, Secretary Lin should be more suitable than me, but since the leader has arranged for me to be the deputy section chief, I can't let the leader down. I must do my job well, and I will need your support and cooperation in the future."

"Xu Damao, I don't care anyway. I have no objection to whoever takes over. Just let me do less work. Chief Xu, please take care of me in the future."

"Deputy Section Chief, stop calling me that. Forget it, you can just call me Xu Damao or Lao Xu, but don't call me Section Chief Xu. I beg you."

Wu Lingjuan laughed like a silver bell and walked out of Room 207.

Xu Damao lit a cigarette in the office and considered his position in the Propaganda Department clearly: he was not here to seize power, but to let Li Huaimin concentrate power, and he still wanted to project the film. Now he still had to master the technical work of projecting movies, and the position of projection apprentice had to be reserved for Chen Zhiyong. Xu Damao suddenly missed Gu Gu, and he hadn't been intimate with Gu Meifang for a long time. Lou Xiaoe had just given birth to a child recently, and Xu Damao's personal life was almost zero.

Today's happiness came suddenly, and it came too timely. The position of deputy section chief was not only promoted one level in administrative level, but also the salary was directly raised by two levels. Now the basic salary is 78 yuan, plus position allowances, overtime allowances, etc. This time the salary has directly exceeded the 80 mark. If the movie screening subsidy is added in the future, it will be close to 90 yuan. A great harvest.

When it was almost time to get off work, the factory broadcast an announcement about the appointment of Comrade Xu Damao from the Propaganda Department. After the announcement was made three times, the music "We Workers Have Power" was played on the radio.

"Fuck, Xu Damao got promoted again. Let him treat us to drinks tonight." He Yuzhu's first reaction when he walked out of the cafeteria and heard the announcement on the radio was not jealousy, but he also had the determination to miss out on Xu Damao's treat.

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu heard the news in workshop 3 together. They felt mixed emotions and were indignant, especially Jia Dongxu.

"Master, Xu Damao, this bad guy, is actually the deputy section chief. It's unfair."

"Dongxu, don't think too much. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I have already told the workshop director that you should hurry up and practice for the worker-level exam in the first half of this year. Once you pass the third level, your life will be better. I asked you to prepare well in the second half of last year, but you didn't listen at all. You didn't even pass the second level, which was a sure thing. Really. Before the Chinese New Year, consolidate your second level skills. After the Spring Festival, Master will teach you the third level skills. Try to pass the second level in the first half of the year and the third level in the second half of the year."

"Oh, Master." Jia Dongxu actually didn't have the heart to take the test for the work grade. He was now focused on getting some benefits from Yi Zhonghai. He was too lazy to delve into the locksmith skills. The difference between the first and second grades was only a little bit of money. It would be better to lie down and sleep. Anyway, when Yi Zhonghai and his wife were gone, he would have four rooms and a savings inheritance.

If Yi Zhonghai knew what Jia Dongxu, this retirement tool, was thinking right now, would he vomit blood?

Liu Haizhong also heard the broadcast about Xu Damao's appointment, and his heart warmed: Hey, Xu Damao is really good, he became a leader so quickly. It seems that he still has foresight. And he must get along well with him.

Xu Damao had never expected that the news of his being a deputy section chief would spread to the No. 95 compound so quickly. When he was carrying his bicycle into the compound, he was stopped by Yan Fugui, the gatekeeper.

"Da Mao, Uncle San congratulates you on your promotion to deputy section chief. Please take good care of me in the future."

"Uncle, do you know?"

"Yes, Shazhu said that you have been promoted to deputy section chief, and he is asking you to treat him to a drink. Damao, how about Uncle San also have a drink with us tonight?"

"Uncle, I haven't gone home yet. I'll see later. If possible, how about this weekend? I'll buy some food and wine, and ask Chef He to prepare a feast. I'll invite you three uncles to drink together. Otherwise, it would be too disrespectful to just give you three uncles peanuts. At least we should prepare some pork head meat."

"That's great, Damao. Then the Third Master will be waiting for you."

"Okay, a spit and a nail." Xu Damao thought about it quickly in his mind. It's not a good thing to be stingy in the compound all the time. It's necessary to take this opportunity to win over Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui. It doesn't cost much, at most 8 yuan. Let them provide their own rations.

After arriving at the Central Courtyard, Xu Damao went directly to He Yuzhu's house.

"Brother Zhuzi, cook a few more dishes tonight. I'll bring some wine over later and we'll have a few drinks together."

"Xu Damao, I've prepared it a long time ago. Lou Xiao'e has brought your fish and eggs. Let's eat them together later. The oil in my pot is smoking, so I won't talk to you anymore."

"This is a case of killing first and asking for permission later. Well, let's meet later and get drunk tonight."

Back in the backyard, Lou Xiao'e happily watched Xu Damao come into the house, "Damo, you're back? You must have worked hard at work."

"Ezi, it's not hard. The higher you go, the easier it is. Don't you know that? Otherwise, why would everyone want to be a leader? Some work with their minds, some with their hands. Those who work with their minds rule others, and those who work with their hands are ruled by others. This has been the case since ancient times.

Brother Zhuzi has cooked dinner tonight. Let's go to the central courtyard to eat later. Don't forget to bring the rations with you. Don't let anyone find fault with you."

"Need I tell you, I'm the kind of person who takes advantage of others. But I gave two frozen sea fish and six eggs to Keshazhu for cooking without your consent. You won't blame me, right?"

"No, you have the final say at home. Whatever you do is right. Right is right, and wrong is also right."

Lou Xiao'e pulled her hand away and hit Xu Damao. "You are the only one who is good at flattering people with your smooth talk. Maybe you are also using the same tone to please women outside?"

Xu Damao quickly raised his hands in surrender, "Ezi, God is my God. Okay, I'll wash my face. I'm going to get drunk again tonight."
