Walking with the Villain, Lou Xiao'e's Alternative Love

The incident between Deputy Director Xiao and Yu Haitang caused a great uproar in the factory. The news spread so quickly that it was shocking.

For a time, the workshop, the office, and even the dining table in the cafeteria were filled with whispers and speculations about this matter.

The originally peaceful working atmosphere was completely disrupted by this sudden wave of gossip, and everyone's eyes were filled with a bit more inquiry and subtlety.

Some people privately worried for Deputy Director Xiao, while others looked at Haitang with sympathy.

Workers in the factory quickly exchanged the latest "information". Some even began to create various versions of "office romance" rumors, with wild and imaginative plots.

What's more, some colleagues who are keen on gossip on weekdays specially organized a "gossip exchange meeting" at an inconspicuous teahouse outside the factory, which became their "base" for secretly exchanging information.

At the party, speculation about the relationship between Yu Haitang and Deputy Director Xiao was infinitely magnified. Some said that Deputy Director Xiao fell in love with Liu Lan, and after failing to get her love, he asked Yu Haitang to report Liu Lan.

Some say that Deputy Director Xiao and Yu Haitang met at work and fell in love over time.

Some even exaggerated the story, making up stories about how the two spent a good night together after working overtime, and their words were full of jokes and untruths.

However, there are also rational voices in this storm.

Some older employees reminded the younger generation not to believe rumors easily, and not to spread unconfirmed information at will to avoid hurting innocent people.

Some people began to analyze the power structure within the unit and explore whether the factory leaders' decisions were based on deeper considerations.

It has to be said that in the seemingly glamorous stage of the workplace, everyone is the protagonist of his own story, and also a bystander of other people's stories.

After being surrounded by these gossips for the whole day, Lou Xiao'e finally made it to the end of get off work.

Xu Damao failed to catch any shadows again for another day.

Lou Xiao'e asked Zhuang Junwei to go directly to Professor Guo's house, while she hailed a rickshaw.

Alas! This man's meal is tasteless.

Forget it, I won’t eat anymore. Lou Xiao’e was about to clean up the dishes when Xu Damao pushed the door open.

"You won't just send your parents home, will you?" Lou Xiao'e asked directly.

"That's true, my wife. Deputy Director Li sent me a car, and I sent my parents directly back." Xu Damao said while eating the leftovers from Lou Xiao'e.

"No, it won't take a day, right?"

"I came back at noon to do some work for Deputy Director Li. I rushed and rushed, but I still couldn't catch up with your time off work."

"Damn it, Xu Damao, you are so awesome now. You are doing things for Li Huaide."

"Wife, don't speak in that tone. I'm unsure."

"If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Since you are so capable, I would like to hear what you have done that keeps you outside for most of the day." Lou Xiao'e said as she walked towards Xu Damao with a curious and teasing smile on her face.

Xu Damao scratched his head awkwardly and explained, "It's nothing serious. I just went to several factories linked to the purchasing department to get some business."

"Oh? You're getting promoted?"

Xu Damao chuckled and said mysteriously, "Well, that depends on the opportunity."

"You're dragging me around, aren't you?"

"No, no." Xu Damao pulled Lou Xiao'e to sit on his lap and said, "Wife, I'll tell you that this time I might get a promotion. Have you heard about Deputy Director Xiao's incident?"

Lou Xiaoe nodded.

Xu Damao continued, "If I'm guessing correctly, this is Li Huaide's revenge. Liu Lan was indeed reported by Yu Haitang, but it may have been instructed by Deputy Director Xiao.

The purpose is to target Li Huaide.

Deputy Director Xiao did this because Li Huaide gave his position to Lu Bin, and he held a grudge against him, so he planned this."

"Then why did Li Huaide take action so quickly?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

"What kind of person is Li Huaide? If he wants to trick you, he will definitely kill you with one blow and won't give you a chance to breathe. I guess you weren't 100% sure at that time." Xu Damao analyzed.

"These fuckers are playing Infernal Affairs here." Lou Xiao'e blurted out without thinking.

"What?" Xu Damao asked.

"Taekwondo, Karate, sewer, fork in the road, just pick one." Lou Xiao'e said mischievously.

Xu Damao was amused by Lou Xiaoe's sudden witty remark. He shook his head and said with a smile, "You can keep the wife for yourself."

"You continue." Lou Xiao'e said.

"Li Huaide is a man of deep thoughts and clever tactics. He first secretly investigated all the little actions of Deputy Director Xiao, including how he colluded with external forces and how he spread rumors that were unfavorable to Li Huaide within the unit, leaving no trace.

At the same time, he also began to actively manage his own network, looking for people who could support him and speak for him. "Xu Damao observed Lou Xiao'e's reaction while speaking, and seeing that she was listening attentively, he continued.

"When the time was right, Li Huaide suddenly launched a counterattack, not only exposing all of Deputy Director Xiao's schemes, but also producing irrefutable evidence, leaving Deputy Director Xiao speechless.

This move can be said to kill two birds with one stone, as it not only clears the door but also consolidates one's own position.

From now on, Deputy Director Xiao will never step out of his iron bed again. He will never be able to compete with Li Huaide again. "

"Li Huaide is really amazing!" Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, "However, this also shows that workplace struggles are really cruel. If you are not careful, you may be doomed."

"Yes, the workplace is like a battlefield. There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends, only eternal interests." Xu Damao said meaningfully, "Therefore, we must always be vigilant and constantly improve our abilities and values, so that we can be invincible in this war without gunpowder."

"So the promotion you're talking about isn't the position of Deputy Director Xiao, right?" Lou Xiao'e asked again.

"If there are no accidents, it should be."

"Did Li Huaide agree to it personally?"

"He didn't agree directly, but asked me to familiarize myself with Deputy Director Xiao's business first."

"Don't we have to wait for a while? Even if the evidence is conclusive, doesn't it take time?"

"I think Li Huaide is waiting for Mr. Zhisheng."

"Li Huaide is really meticulous and has a plan for everything," Lou Xiao'e commented.

"But he did have his reasons for doing so. After all, in such a critical personnel change, every step must be taken with caution to avoid giving rise to gossip or causing unnecessary disputes.

He asked me to familiarize myself with Deputy Director Xiao's business first. This was both a test for me and a way to pave the way for me in advance, allowing me to make a seamless connection and reduce the work gap caused by position changes.

After all, someone who can get started quickly and demonstrate his or her abilities is the one that leaders are most willing to promote.

Moreover, Li Huaide might want to use the old man's hand to handle Deputy Director Xiao's case more fairly and transparently. At the same time, he is also sending a signal to the outside world that his decision is based on multi-faceted considerations rather than personal will.

In this way, you can not only win people's hearts, but also consolidate your position.

As for me, although it seems that I am in a waiting state at the moment, this is also a good time for self-improvement and accumulation of strength.

I will use this time to learn more about business knowledge and improve my overall quality to ensure that I can seize opportunities without hesitation when they come."

Lou Xiao'e obviously felt that her brain was not working well enough. "Xu Damao, looking at the current situation, do you want to consider getting a wife whose IQ and thinking match yours?"

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment and said, "Wife, would you consider playing something that is both comfortable and exciting?"
