After taking a sip of the hot tea that Xu Damao had just poured for him,

Deputy Director Li continued Xu Damao's previous explanation in a seemingly casual tone:

"Your daughter-in-law seems to be really difficult to deal with."

Xu Damao replied with a sad face:

"That's right!" He touched the wound on his face and complained to Deputy Director Li: "When she got mad, she didn't know how to control her strength.

If I hadn't run fast, there would have been more than just these scratches on my face!" However, Deputy Director Li did not respond to Xu Damao's words.

Instead, he took another sip of tea, suddenly raised his head, stared closely into Xu Damao's eyes, and asked slowly:

"You really don't know what happened in the warehouse last night?"

"Honestly, don't try to fool me like you fooled that stupid wife."

Deputy Director Li had already said so much, and indeed accepted the envelope from Xu Damao. At this moment, Xu Damao certainly had no reason to hypocritically deceive Deputy Director Li. After all, he still had to rely on Deputy Director Li to help him solve the problem. Even after solving the two current troubles,

If Xu Damao still wants to covet the position of head of the publicity department, he will need the support and help of Deputy Director Li.

Because of this, Xu Damao was even less likely to go against Deputy Director Li's wishes and offend this key figure in front of him. Since Xu Damao had a habit of blacking out after drinking, he could not recall in detail what happened last night. Therefore, he could only narrate what he could remember from his memory. He started from waking up in the factory warehouse in the morning.

He kept talking about the experience of writing the letter of guarantee to Qin Huairu in front of all the neighbors.

However, seeing that Deputy Director Li did not completely believe in him,

Especially when he noticed the playful smile on the other person's lips, Xu Damao couldn't help but feel anxious.

God is my witness, facing the current situation, he really did not hide anything from Deputy Director Li. If he was not worried about making the leader's impression of him worse,

He even wanted to name the several "suspects" he had guessed! So, seeing that Deputy Director Li had not given a clear response to his explanation, Xu Damao gritted his teeth and

Finally, he actually stretched out the fingers of his right hand, put them together in front of his eyebrows, and swore an oath to Deputy Director Li very sincerely.

He said anxiously:

"I swear to God, I was really drunk last night.

What happened afterwards, or who slept with me, I have no recollection of it at all!"

"If I conceal anything from the leader, I, Xu Damao, will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!" Deputy Director Li was educated and naturally did not believe Xu Damao's oath. However, Xu Damao's behavior showed his great dependence on him, which made Deputy Director Li feel very satisfied.

Then, Deputy Director Li spoke, first waving to Xu Damao and saying with a smile:

"Come on, come on, what's the point of you telling me this?"

Then, after a brief pause, he said to Xu Damao:

“You should solve the rumors in the factory yourself.

But you also understand that those rumors are just groundless gossip without any evidence." Deputy Director Li stared into Xu Damao's eyes and stated his position with a smile:

"Our factory will not easily wrongly accuse a good comrade because of such unfounded speculation. As the saying goes, if you catch an adulterer, you must catch both. Anything without evidence is slander."

Deputy Director Li's words immediately made Xu Damao ecstatic. No matter what happened yesterday,

At least today's incident was just as Deputy Director Li said. The only evidence was Xu Damao's shabby clothes.

In fact, the reason why Xu Damao has not come up with a solution yet is because he was in panic from the beginning and failed to calm down and think carefully.

If he was a little thicker-skinned, he would insist that the stains on his body were caused by a sweet dream he had while drunk.

Even if Lou Xiao'e would definitely not believe it, she could not provide other strong evidence. Even if you don't believe it, what can you do? After all, she didn't catch him in the act.

In this way, Xu Damao would not have to write the letter of guarantee in front of all the neighbors in the courtyard, putting himself in trouble and becoming a laughing stock in the courtyard.

It’s not too late to change strategy now.

For Xu Damao, even if his reputation in Siheyuan was already bad, it was not a big problem. Some rumors in the factory were not a serious matter.

Who can guarantee that there is no gossip about themselves?

As long as he has the support of the leadership and no one can find any evidence against him, then it can be said that Xu Damao is invincible!

Thinking of this, Xu Damao's joy made his smile even brighter. He smiled and gave Deputy Director Li a thumbs up, praising him: "Leader, your insights are brilliant!"

Deputy Director Li glanced at him and did not respond.

Instead, he changed the subject and asked Xu Damao about the condition of the projector.

"What happened to your projector?"

Xu Damao immediately explained to Deputy Director Li that there was actually no major problem with the projector, only a few screws were loose and could be fixed.

As for the film of the movie "Ashima", it only needs to be cleaned once and the fallen film put back into the box, then there will be no problem. After hearing this, Deputy Director Li nodded and said with satisfaction:

"Okay, since there's no serious problem, you can go back and try to fix it before this afternoon."

"In the evening, after Director Yang and I finished dinner, we went to the small auditorium to replay last night's film." He looked at Xu Damao and said solemnly:

"At that time, I will say a few good words for you in front of Director Yang, and this matter will be over."

"After all, the disaster was caused by Qin Huairu's son.

Your mistake here is at most a momentary negligence, which is really not worth mentioning." Hearing Deputy Director Li say this, Xu Damao was immediately overjoyed.

He bowed deeply to Deputy Director Li, his movements were both exaggerated and funny.

"Director Li, you are truly my second parent!"

"Don't worry!"

"I don't have to wait until the afternoon. I can fix the projector and film before the lunch break!" At this moment, Xu Damao was secretly proud of himself, thinking that the two hundred yuan was really worth it. He had completely forgotten the feeling of heartache before.

He only wanted to please Deputy Director Li, and even deliberately omitted the word "deputy" when addressing him. Sure enough, Deputy Director Li smiled immediately after hearing this.

After chatting with Xu Damao for a few more intimate words, he let him leave the office.

Hurry back to fix the projector and film, and prepare to perform well in front of Director Yang in the evening. Xu Damao left with satisfaction.

The wind outside was freezing, and even though it was late autumn, the sun could not bring much warmth. However, as he walked to the projection room, Xu Damao felt warm inside. The sun shone on him, making him feel that his future would be as bright as the sun!
