Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Minister Zhang smiled bitterly and nodded:

"This kid's brain has been dead from studying. Apart from being stubborn, he doesn't know how to deal with people. I'm so worried about him."

"It just so happens that both of you serve Lao Li. You can teach him more when you have time. I don't expect you to be as smooth as you are, but it's good enough if you can say and do things in a way that doesn't offend others."

"Why don't you quickly agree to Minister Zhang's request?"

Li Huaide poked Wang Hongtao, with a bit of envy in his eyes.

When Zhang Cheng was first assigned to the steel rolling mill, Minister Zhang did suggest asking Li Huaide to help take care of him. However, as Li Huaide was his direct superior, it was only natural for him to help take care of him on a daily basis. In comparison, it was extremely rare for him to ask a colleague to take care of him.

What's more, Minister Zhang took the initiative to accept favors from others. It was a favor at the ministerial level, and even Li Huaide, a level 13 cadre, benefited greatly from it.

"Minister Zhang, you are too kind. Brother Zhang and I both serve Director Li, so it is natural for us to communicate more in private. It is not a question of who is leading whom. We learn from each other... that is, learning from each other..."

Wang Hongtao responded modestly, thinking that if he asked this question to Big Hat Brother, he would definitely make big promises and brag about it, saying that it was no problem and that the task would be completed.

Li Huaide frowned, glanced at Minister Zhang and whispered, "Deputy, deputy director!"

"Haha, to me you are the factory director!" Wang Hongtao replied with a smile.

He was not afraid of being blamed by Minister Zhang. In his opinion, every time Minister Zhang went to the Red Star Factory, he would either look for Secretary Nie or Li Huaide, but never for Director Yang. This was very telling.

Li Huaide looked at Minister Zhang and saw that he was still calm. He was delighted and patted Wang Hongtao on the shoulder, saying with satisfaction: "Xiao Wang is a good guy.

Go and do your own thing. Minister Zhang, I will be the one to receive you."

"okay."

"Minister Zhang, Director Li, I'm leaving now. Please call me if you need anything."

……

After coming out of the workers' club, Wang Hongtao first went back to the factory director's office, intending to have a few words with Zhang Cheng.

Not to mention teaching him anything, it would be good for the two of them to get to know each other.

"Brother Zhang is busy?" Wang Hongtao said familiarly.

He didn't offer him a cigarette. He had never seen Zhang Cheng smoke in all the time they knew each other.

Zhang Cheng nodded, and then he seemed to suddenly remember something: "Xiao Wang, my uncle and my father always say that I don't know how to deal with people and that I'm too straightforward. Do you think I'm really that bad?"

Wang Hongtao frowned and thought for a while: "It's not that you are bad, but your family conditions make you feel that you don't need to learn these things, so you don't care about these things."

"For example, Director Li, who worked with us, is the deputy director of a large factory and a deputy department-level cadre. Many people find it difficult to talk to him."

"But in your opinion, it's just like that. He still has to queue up when he comes to your house to pay New Year's greetings during festivals."

"To put it bluntly, if your uncle wasn't Minister Zhang, you would have been banished to some remote corner by now."

Serious illnesses require strong medicines. Since Minister Zhang has come to me personally, the best way is to get things done as quickly as possible.

In fact, Zhang Cheng could feel that his interactions with his colleagues were a bit awkward, but he just didn't know where to start to change.

"My uncle asked me to learn more from you, Xiao Wang, you have to teach me!"

Wang Hongtao's face was filled with black lines.

"Okay, let's talk about the first question first, the name."

"From now on, unless Director Yang, Secretary Nie or other senior leaders are present, you should always address me as Director Li. Remove the word 'Deputy'!"

"Also, don't call me Xiao Wang. That's what Director Li and your uncle call me. You can call me Brother Wang. If that doesn't work, just call me Lao Wang."

……

Zhang Cheng was indeed a bit stubborn. He spent the entire morning trying to figure out a simple way to address himself, and even asked himself why?

Wang Hongtao did not answer him directly, but took Zhang Cheng out for a walk, asked him to hide and listen to other colleagues' opinions on him.

As a result, some colleagues said that he couldn't speak and some said that he was arrogant.

After going around in circles, the only person who spoke well of him was a temporary worker who had only been in the department for three days, saying that he had no airs as a leader and was easy to talk to.

In this way, Zhang Cheng finally realized his mistake and tried to let go of his obsession and learn from Wang Hongtao.

Minister Zhang and Director Li returned to the office.

At that time, Wang Hongtao had one foot on Zhang Cheng's chair, his arm hooked around Zhang Cheng's shoulders, and he kept talking: "Xiao Cheng, I tell you, if you want to learn how to have relationships, the first thing you need to do is to improve your courage. If you think you are not good at talking and don't like to speak, you will really not dare to speak after a while."

"Well, I'll take you to our transportation department later. Those old hooligans say all kinds of things. You'll only pass this first level when you can talk to them!"

.....

"Hey, Minister Zhang and Director Li are back."

Seeing the two big guys coming in, Wang Hongtao hurriedly put his feet down, loosened his arms, and acted honestly. Zhang Cheng was amazed at how fast he changed.

Minister Zhang smiled and nodded: "Yes, I think your method is good, I will do as you say."

"okay!"

So Wang Hongtao hooked his arm around Zhang Cheng's shoulder and walked out, saying, "After you learn the first lesson, I'll teach you the second lesson. The name of the second lesson is how to thicken your skin!"

……

After taking Zhang Cheng, the little lamb, through the old driver's dye vat, Wang Hongtao has completed his mission for the day.

Remember that too much is as bad as too little, and you have to give him enough time to adapt.

When Zhang Cheng was returned, Minister Zhang had already left. Director Li said that he had a few cloth coupons that were about to expire, so Wang Hongtao asked him for a few.

The cloth coupons at that time were also called "cotton cloth purchase certificates."

It probably looks like this:

The weather is about to turn cold, and I can't wear driver's work clothes all year round.

In addition, with the cloth coupons, I can also buy one for Jingru.

The answer is that I should buy her a new dress. I can’t go back on my word.

Besides, Jingru's original flowered jacket was already a bit worn out, and it looked too small because of her plump figure, so it was really time to change it.

I think that silly girl would be very happy to receive new clothes, right?

If we are happy, maybe the three of us can go together...

Hehehehe..

……

When getting off work, Wang Hongtao went to pick up Sister She a few minutes early as usual.

"Come in with me!" She Lijuan invited a wolf into the house as soon as she got out of the car.

When he entered the bedroom, Wang Hongtao was surprised to find that two pillows were placed at both ends of the bed.

"Sister She, when did you two start sleeping separately?"

She Lijuan nodded shyly: "I told Lao Li that I was in pain and couldn't be touched. We slept separately during this period."

"Hong Tao, I'm willing to sacrifice my reputation for you, so you can't let me down!"

Wang Hongtao chuckled and hugged She Lijuan: "I like you so much, how could I possibly let you down?"

She Lijuan leaned against Wang Hongtao's chest and said, "I don't believe you. You are so much younger than me. When I get older in a few years, you won't be like this anymore."

Wang Hongtao was speechless: "Then what do you want me to do?"

She Lijuan smiled cunningly: "I want you to leave me a child. If you dare to bully me in the future, I will let the child vent my anger for me!"

After hearing this, Wang Hongtao picked up She Lijuan and threw her onto the bed: "Okay, I'll satisfy you!"

……

Done.

She Lijuan nestled in Wang Hongtao's arms and said contentedly, "Hongtao, I feel like we're going to have our child soon."

Wang Hongtao stroked her hair and whispered, "Don't worry, this kind of thing depends on fate. It will come naturally when it's time."
