Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

That night, Qin Huairu did not go home to spend the night. Aunt Yi had no choice but to take care of Xiaodang temporarily because she could not bear to see the child helpless.

Turning around, everyone in the courtyard knew about Qin Huairu's situation. Several aunts tried to persuade Aunt Yi not to help Xiaodang anymore, thinking that her bad reputation would bring shame to them. But Aunt Yi just shook her head: "Xiaodang is still too young, she can't be left alone. Are we going to watch her starve to death?"

Although all this surprised the people around him, Ye Chuan had a premonition in his heart, especially about Xu Damao, a restless character. He had just taken up the position of deputy director for a few days and started to deal with Liu Haizhong, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, and all of them were aimed at their neighbors. It was obvious that these people's troubles all stemmed from the conflicts between them and him; of course, Xu Damao had his own purpose in taking action.

However, even in these cases, Ye Chuan did not express sympathy. He thought that if he had not made a mistake, how could he have attracted a fly like Xu Damao? The key to the problem still lies in themselves. In the end, the kitchen chef Sha Zhu became a toilet cleaner, the technician Liu Haizhong was downgraded and forced to participate in the street parade, and Qin Huairu was also reassigned to the cleaning team, cleaning the streets with a group of aunts all day long.

The whole courtyard was in turmoil because of Xu Damao. Four people, including Yan Bugui, were listed as bad elements. The reputation of the good family courtyard no longer existed.

Xu Damao used to be unpopular in the factory and had conflicts with many people. Now, when he became the deputy director, he was like a villain who had achieved success. Not only were the people in the factory affected, but many people who had conflicts with him were also found out to settle accounts. Among the five deputy directors of the Transportation Committee, he became the most active one.

Director Yang didn't say much for Ye Chuan's sake, but after two months, he couldn't stand this situation anymore. Recently, Ye Chuan has been in charge of the supply and marketing cooperative, which is the largest shopping center in the surrounding residential area. Not only does he face the shopping needs of ordinary people, but he also has to deal with some gangsters who take the opportunity to make trouble.

For these reasons, he had no time to go to the Second Electronics Factory recently. He only sent a car to the factory every day to pick up some flour. Director Yang originally planned to call Ye Chuan to talk about Xu Damao, but after some consideration, he decided to visit him in person. Ye Chuan was a little surprised to see Director Yang visiting him.

"Xiaoye, you're not too busy, are you?"

"Not too busy. What do you want to talk to me about, Brother Yang? Can't you just give me a call?"

Director Yang sighed, "It's all because of Xu Damao. He has made the entire steel mill a mess recently. After all, he was recommended by you, and the other deputy directors mostly gave him some leeway. Now this guy has become the first deputy director of the steel mill's transportation committee."

Ye Chuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Director Yang asked impatiently.

"Brother Yang, you are the director of the Transportation Committee. No matter how arrogant he is, he has to restrain himself in front of you!" Director Yang lit a cigarette and blew out a smoke ring lightly.

"I'm giving you face. I'm afraid that if I dismiss him directly, you will lose face!" After saying that, Ye Chuan also lit a cigarette and smiled faintly.

"Brother Yang, you are the director of the factory's transportation committee, but there are some things that are really not suitable for you to handle! Besides, the current situation is so tense, and the entire factory with more than 10,000 people can't stay out of it. Someone has to do these things, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the higher-ups."

Director Yang fell into deep thought, and spoke after a while: "Brother, what do you mean?"

"Even if Xu Damao makes trouble, he is under your supervision! In fact, he is just a tool of yours! As long as you control him well, do you still worry about mistakes?"

After hearing this, Director Yang nodded in agreement: "Liu Haizhong was confined in this factory just because I trusted your words. In fact, he did not suffer any substantial damage, only some physical pain. Similarly, whether it is Sha Zhu cleaning the toilet or Qin Huairu sweeping the street, as long as we say something, we can immediately let the former return to the cafeteria and the latter return to the workshop!"

He slapped his thigh suddenly, and suddenly understood: "That's right! Why didn't I think of it before? I just stared at the chaotic situation in the factory."

Ye Chuan smiled and added: "Dealing with Xu Damao is not worth mentioning at all. We can determine his position with just a word. Whatever he does is just to carry out your will!"

Director Yang couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Xiao Ye, you are amazing! Listening to your words is worth ten years of study!"

For Xu Damao, this period is his glorious moment. It is also the most comfortable period for him since he started working.

Sha Zhu, who used to be at odds with him in the yard, has now become a toilet cleaner, and he has finally avenged his resentment about his infertility; even Liu Haizhong, who he used to look down upon, is in trouble. Not only has he lost his seventh-level salary, he can only receive a mere 18 yuan subsidy every month, and this is only given by the factory considering the large number of people in his family.

Similarly, Qin Huairu and some other people who had been against him in the factory before also ran into trouble. Now, whenever he walks in the factory area, everyone who meets him will greet him respectfully. Xu Damao walks with his head held high every day, wearing a neat Zhongshan suit and carrying a black leather bag. Sometimes he can even apply for a jeep to travel when he goes out to do business.

He used to be the last deputy director in the sports committee, but now he is almost the number one person under Director Yang. After bringing down Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu, Xu Damao felt that he should call Ye Chuan to show his merit, and realized that the early bird catches the worm. However, he did not secretly find a deserted place to call, but dialed the number in public in the office shared by five deputy directors.

He had his reasons for doing so: he wanted to let others know who his backer was - that person was a good friend of the deputy director of the District Sports Committee, Ye Chuan, and the director, Chen Feiming. "Hello, is this Director Ye? I'm Damao!"

Ye Chuan was a little surprised when he received a call from Xu Damao: "Oh, it's Damao, what's the matter?" "I'm not disturbing you at work, am I? I just want to report to you about some work progress!" Xu Damao put on a very humble attitude, but he deliberately raised his voice, as if he wanted all his colleagues to hear that he was talking to his superiors.

Hearing this, Ye Chuan couldn't help but laugh in his heart. The two of them had no relationship at all. If Xu Damao really wanted to discuss work, he could go to Director Yang to report. Why did he have to come to him? But thinking about it carefully, he could understand the other party's intention. It just so happened that Director Yang had come to him to complain not long ago. This was a good opportunity to sound the alarm for the other party.

"Oh, go ahead, what do you want to report?" Hearing that Ye Chuan was willing to listen to the work report, he was delighted and quickly gave a detailed account of what he had done recently in the factory, not forgetting to mention the "brilliant achievements" of defeating Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu. "Yes, your recent performance is indeed outstanding and meets the expectations of our work!"

Xu Damao held the receiver with both hands, and he almost wanted to bow. "This is all the result of Director Ye's wise leadership! It is my job to find these people who are destroying unity. I will continue to work hard in the future and not bring shame to you, the leader."

Ye Chuan smiled, and then continued, "I have reviewed the situation report of the steel rolling mill, and you have done a really good job. You are the best among the sports team members of the entire factory. Even if the others are added together, they are not even half as good as you."

"This is my responsibility!" Xu Damao was very excited after receiving the affirmation.

"Okay, I still have work to do, so let's leave it at that for now!" Ye Chuan finished speaking and decisively ended the call.

"Okay! I will continue to work hard and live up to my mission. Director Ye, you are busy, I will report to you again in a while!" While saying these words, Xu Damao bowed several times towards the receiver that was already beeping.

After hanging up the phone, he casually glanced at the people around him and found that they were all looking at him with jealousy and admiration, and he couldn't help feeling even more proud.

He took out the welfare cigarettes distributed by the factory from the drawer, lit one, took a deep puff, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring, thinking about Ye Chuan's words of encouragement on the phone. However, the longer he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Recently, he had completed far more work than anyone else, including Director Yang. This sentence sounded like a compliment, but it was not. The more he thought about it, the more Xu Damao felt that Ye Chuan's words had a deeper meaning, but he couldn't figure out what he was trying to convey. Suddenly, four words flashed through his mind: His achievements are greater than his master's!

I have done a lot of work during this period, and even quickly brought down almost ten 420 people, which really echoed the slogan of my superiors. But after all, he is still a deputy director, and he cannot surpass the position of Director Yang, the director of the Transportation Committee and the real power holder of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. If my work efficiency exceeds Director Yang, wouldn't it be a death wish?

Cold sweat instantly covered Xu Damao's forehead, and he stood up suddenly. If he continued to do things this way, he would not be able to stay in his deputy position for long. No! He had to find a way to remedy the situation. He ignored the doubtful looks of others, hurriedly left his desk, and ran straight to Director Yang's office.

Although a lot of good practical work has been done, now the credit must be attributed to Director Yang and a statement must be made, otherwise he is afraid that he will not even understand how he lost his job.

Ye Chuan had not expected that Xu Damao would understand the mystery so quickly. If he knew, he would definitely admire him and think that Xu Damao was indeed very smart and should not be just a projectionist.

As time went by, the storm seemed to get worse, and the public seemed to get used to it. Many factory workers had adapted to not working, students did not go to school, farmers stopped working, and many people were obsessed with things that had nothing to do with them, making the outside world seem very chaotic.
