Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Xu Damao did not keep Li Huaide in suspense and explained:

"Director Li, you should have heard of Lou Bancheng, right?"

"I know Lou Bancheng. He was a major shareholder of our steel mill in the past. He is said to be a big capitalist. How could this matter be related to him?"

"Director Li, I want to report this Lou Bancheng. To be honest, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, my parents worked as servants and private projectionists in the Lou family. Lou Bancheng once wanted to marry his daughter to me, but I didn't like the Lou family's capitalist status and didn't agree.

As far as I know, the people of Louban City have many hiding places. There are many places to hide money in the family. I have a list of the addresses of the houses, shops and relatives of the Lou family. Director Li, as long as you take people there, I'm sure you'll find something."

This information about Xu Damao was naturally collected by Xu's father and mother over the years.

Li Huaide was excited when he heard the news.

He knew how rich Lou Bancheng was. If he confiscated Lou's family property, he would become rich.

"Comrade Xu Damao, the matter you raised is indeed very important. I have decided to hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss this matter.

In view of your meritorious performance this time, Comrade Xu Damao, I have decided to appoint you as the deputy leader of the workers' picket group. From now on, you and Comrade Liu Haizhong will be responsible for uncovering those bad elements among the masses!"

"Hey! Thank you Director Li for the promotion! Don't worry Director Li, from now on I, Xu Damao, will be a gun in your hand. I will shoot wherever you point, without any ambiguity!"

Xu Damao was so excited.

These two gold bars were not given in vain.

This means that the position of deputy team leader has been changed.

Although he was Liu Haizhong's deputy, Xu Damao didn't care.

As for Liu Haizhong, he is a fool.

A guy who didn't even graduate from elementary school.

Xu Damao was confident that he would be able to replace him sooner or later with his own abilities.

Although Li Huaide has various shortcomings.

But there is one thing that cannot be said.

He is a man who will do things if he is paid, and he will do as much as he is paid.

The next day, Yu Haitang announced on the radio that Xu Damao would become the deputy leader of the patrol team.

Yu Haitang was wondering how Xu Damao, a projectionist in the same department as herself, could have such connections?

But he did take a fancy to Xu Damao.

Li Huaide is now at the peak of his career in the factory.

Director Yang was almost beaten.

Xu Damao, who is valued by Li Huaide, is obviously a potential stock.

After Li Huaide appointed Xu Damao as deputy team leader, he happened to be hosting a dinner party in the evening.

But when the meal was served in the evening, Li Huaide's face suddenly became very ugly when he looked at the dishes on the table.

After the dish entered his mouth, Li Huaide's face turned black.

After the guests left, Li Huaide called his secretary and asked:

"What's going on in the kitchen? Look at this lousy cook. What kind of dish is this?

How can my customers come to my factory to eat next time? "

The secretary did not dare to delay and immediately went to the kitchen to ask about the situation and came back to report.

It turned out that Sha Zhu was not there and there was no one to replace him in cooking, so the kitchen called Sha Zhu's apprentice Fatty to help cook.

But the fat guy didn’t learn any skills at all, so you can imagine how bad his cooking is.

Li Huaide asked somewhat unhappily:

"Where did He Yuzhu go? Why did he change the cook without telling me?"

"Master He has been detained in the Security Department for three days now."

Li Huaide couldn't help but frowned and asked:

"What's going on? Why would the security department arrest a cook for no reason?"

"I heard that Team Leader Liu ordered the security department to arrest him, but the details are still unclear."

Li Huaide said somewhat unhappily:

"Go! Call Liu Haizhong and Section Chief Chen so I can personally inquire about the situation."

After a while, Liu Haizhong came over with the head of the security department.

Seeing Li Huaide's unhappy expression, Liu Haizhong felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't think of how he had offended the other party.

"Liu Haizhong, let me ask you! Why did you arrest He Yuzhu for no reason?"

I heard that Li Huaide was talking about Sha Zhu.

Liu Haizhong also breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Director, you don't know that this idiot Zhu is disobedient in the courtyard and even said some offensive words."

Li Huaide frowned and asked:

"Well, tell me what he said."

"He actually said that the red armband on Hong Xiaobin's hand was just a broken hoop! Don't you think he is a traitor?"

Hearing this, Li Huaide's mouth twitched.

"That's it?"

"Isn't this enough?"

Li Huaide was instantly angry.

He stood up and pointed at Liu Haizhong's nose and cursed:

"Liu Haizhong! I think you, the leader of the patrol team, have nothing better to do. What's the point of arresting He Yuzhu, a cook? There's no one in the kitchen to prepare the reception meal. Are you going to cook for me?!"

"Ah? This...that..."

Liu Haizhong was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

He hadn't thought about this question.

Arresting Sha Zhu was just for revenge, and also because of Yan Fugui's instigation.

Who would have thought that Sha Zhu would be of great use to Li Huaide.

If you know this, why would he catch Shazhu?

"Then... Director, should I go and release that stupid Zhu?"

"Hurry up and release them! Also, if you need to transfer to the security department in the future, you must tell me in advance. Don't act on your own again."

Li Huaide is taking back power for Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong was so scared that he was sweating profusely.

He was about to leave when Li Huaide stopped him.

"Wait, there will be a search operation the day after tomorrow. You and Section Chief Chen will arrange for someone to go. The newly appointed deputy team leader Xu Damao will act with you. This matter must be done well and there must be no mistakes!"

"Xu? Xu Damao?!"

Liu Haizhong was busy outside today and didn't know about Xu Damao's appointment.

When I first heard the news, I thought there was something wrong with my ears.

"Yes, you heard it right. Xu Damao is a good comrade, and the action the day after tomorrow is based on the clues he provided. So I appointed him as the deputy leader of the picket group, and he will work with you in the future."

As a leader, Li Huaide naturally knows the principle of checks and balances.

This Xu Damao is the one he uses to check and balance Liu Haizhong.

When Liu Haizhong heard that Xu Damao was appointed as his deputy, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

He had previously suppressed Xu Damao and prevented him from becoming the third uncle in the courtyard in order to monopolize power.

"Director Li! You don't know that Xu Damao is not competent enough to be the deputy team leader. Moreover, his lifestyle is problematic. He often has affairs with widows in the village when he goes to the countryside, and..."

"Okay, Team Leader Liu, I was the one who appointed Comrade Xu Damao as deputy team leader. Are you questioning my decision?"

Li Huaide's words made Liu Haizhong break out in a cold sweat.

He quickly explained:

"No...No, Director Li! That's not what I meant!"

"Alright! This matter ends here. Team Leader Liu, just do your job well and don't get involved in other matters."

Li Huaide spoke up at the right time to suppress Liu Haizhong.

Although Liu Haizhong is useful as a thug, this old guy tends to become arrogant after a while.

This time, he actually delayed his own work because of his personal grudge.

If he is not suppressed, he will not be able to recognize his own identity.

Tool people must have the consciousness of tool people.
