Siheyuan: Becoming a cadre after graduating from technical secondary school

That day, Sha Zhu was stopped at the door by Xu Damao again, but this time he was not angry at all, and even felt a little guilty.

Although Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e had divorced a long time ago and their relationship was not very good back then, Sha Zhu always felt a little sorry for Xu Damao when he faced him now.

Xu Damao proudly showed off a shiny black "brick" in his hand and said, "Shazhu, do you know what this is?"

Sha Zhu was very cooperative and asked enviously: "This is obviously a high-end product, it must be worth a lot of money, right?"

"That is."

Although Xu Damao was a little surprised by Sha Zhu's attitude, he was very excited at the moment and was busy showing off the good things he had just bought.

"This is called a 'Big Brother'. It came from Hong Kong. It costs tens of thousands. Let me tell you, it's not just that. You can't buy this thing even if you have money..."

Xu Damao was chattering away when he suddenly heard a disdainful voice from the side: "It's just tens of thousands, a leader has invested a lot of money in my father's business, and soon our family will be richer than yours."

It turned out to be Sha Zhu's son He Chunxiao, who couldn't stand Xu Damao's boasting and couldn't help but reveal Sha Zhu's secret.

"Chunxiao, go back!"

Sha Zhu scolded and said to Xu Damao a little embarrassedly: "Don't listen to the kid's nonsense, it's not true."

Xu Damao's face was gloomy for a while, and then he thought of something and his expression gradually calmed down.

However, before he left, he couldn’t help but say, “Shazhu, you are so proud of yourself, buddy, I can also be appreciated by the big boss.

Director Lin from our hospital insisted on inviting me to dinner today. I guess all the leaders you know have retired long ago, right?"

Xu Damao really didn't brag. After waiting for a while at the gate of Hongxing Courtyard with the gift, a black sedan drove up and took him to a heavily guarded residential area.

When passing through security check, Lin Zongxuan's secretary Xiao Xu got out of the car and talked to the guard for a while. After a while, Xiao Xu came back and said to Xu Damao with a smile: "I have already told the guard that if you want to come to see Director Lin in the next few months, you just need to register."

"Hey, Secretary Xu, thank you for your help. I will treat you to a meal some other day."

Xu Damao smiled flatteringly, and the smile on his face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.

When he was taken to the house where Lin Zongxuan lived, he found that Lin Zongxuan and his wife were not at home. He was personally received by his eldest son Lin Jingping.

Lin Jingping took the gift from Xu Damao and said politely, "Uncle Damao, my dad is out buying groceries. Please sit down and I'll turn on the TV for you."

"Hey, don't be so polite, I'll just wait."

Xu Damao felt very uncomfortable sitting on the sofa, as if there were nails under his butt. After waiting for about half an hour, he finally saw Lin Zongxuan and Wang Xiaomeng coming back with several bags of vegetables.

Lin Zongxuan washed his hands, exchanged a few words with Xu Damao, and then said with a smile: "Brother Damao, you are in for a treat today. I haven't cooked for a long time. I will cook for you today."

"Hey, Mr. Lin, Brother Zongxuan, you are so polite."

Xu Damao was both moved and timid at this moment. He certainly knew that he and Lin Zongxuan did not have such a deep friendship.

Lin Zongxuan, who was about to be promoted to director, cooked for him personally. He was so courteous and courteous, as if he wanted him to be loyal to him!

Sure enough, after dinner, Lin Zongxuan called him to the study alone and directly took out a box of cigarettes he had given him.

After the two of them smoked for a while, Lin Zongxuan finally spoke:

"Brother Damao, how many years have we known each other?"

Xu Damao couldn't help but sit up straight and answered softly, "About thirty or forty years."

"Yes, decades have passed in the blink of an eye. I still remember the time when you and Shazhu took us to play when we were little."

Lin Zongxuan was halfway through expressing his feelings when he suddenly sighed heavily.

Xu Damao knew that the important matter had come, so he did not hesitate and asked earnestly, "Brother Zongxuan, is there anything on your mind?"

Lin Zongxuan said leisurely: "It's not a big deal, but there's a special person who's been making trouble recently. He might be harmful to me. You and I are both familiar with that person."

Xu Damao's eyes flashed with doubt, and he asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"The former director of the steel mill, Li Huaide."

"Director Li!"

Xu Damao was shocked at first, then hesitantly asked, "Can Li Huaide still threaten you now?"

Lin Zongxuan shook his head slowly and said, "It's not a threat. I feel that if he continues to be restless, it may implicate me in the future. Oh, and it may also implicate you."

After Lin Zongxuan finished speaking, he saw Xu Damao's face was as if it was crushed by something. He struggled violently for a long time, and finally slowly became firm and asked: "Director Lin, what can I do for you?"

"It's nothing too dangerous."

Lin Zongxuan put down the cigarette in his hand and said calmly: "If you have the chance, you can get in touch with Li Huaide and see what he is doing now, and you will understand what I mean."

"I understand, Director Lin, don't worry, I will definitely get it done."

Lin Zongxuan nodded and asked, "Brother Damao, I remember your son is about to graduate, right?"

,,,,,,

After Xu Damao left, Lin Zongxuan's son came out of the cubicle and asked in confusion: "Dad, when I was in the courtyard, I heard people's comments on Xu Damao were not very good, saying that he was a villain. Why did you ask him to do something?"

Lin Zongxuan did not answer his son's question. Instead, he smiled and asked, "So what does your grandfather think of Xu Damao?"

Lin Jingping recalled and said hesitantly: "Grandpa rarely said bad things about others. As far as I can remember, I don't think I've ever heard him comment on Xu Damao."

"That's right. The people in this world cannot be simply described as 'villains' or 'gentlemen'."

Lin Zongxuan stroked his son's head and said lovingly, "When you grow up, you will know that Dad may not like people like Xu Damao, but he dislikes other people in the courtyard even more."
