Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Wang Hongtao pointed at Xu Damao and said unhappily, "You are really drunk, aren't you? The more you talk, the more outrageous it gets!"

"Why is it so outrageous?" Xu Damao asked in surprise. He obviously didn't realize where the problem lay.

Wang Hongtao asked Xu Damao a series of questions: "Let me ask you, what is the basis for you to have such an idea about the position of deputy section chief?"

"Just because you drank with Director Li a few days ago?"

"Do you know what level a deputy section chief is and what level you are now? Count on your fingers how many levels there are between you and the deputy section chief."

"Good fellow, you want to go from being a projectionist to a deputy section chief in one go. If you are so capable, why don't you just go straight to heaven?"

Wang Hongtao felt more and more speechless as he spoke: Last time I told you to go to the countryside more often and take on an apprentice, but you didn't listen. Now that I see a job opening, you're jealous? What were you doing before?!

Yes, projectionists are in high demand nowadays.

For example, Xu Damao is now working in the administrative department, with a level 26 salary of 33 yuan, and is a level 8 clerk.

But the projectionist does not just get a fixed salary. First of all, he receives subsidies for showing movies just like the driver. The subsidy is 30 cents in the city and 50 cents outside the city, and this is the price for one show.

While receiving subsidies, projectionists who go to the countryside to show movies are treated well. Not only are they treated to good wine and food, but they also receive various gifts.

Various local products from the mountains, such as dried mushrooms, garlic strings, old hen bacon and so on.

Anyway, whenever Xu Damao went to the countryside, he never came back empty-handed, and his overall treatment was no worse than that of Sha Zhu.

But what if it is so?

The deputy chief of the Propaganda Department is at least at level 18. There is a moat between him and Xu Damao. Can Xu Damao jump over it?

Xu Damao didn't think so much.

In his eyes, no matter whether it is the projectionist or the deputy section chief, they are all subordinates of the factory director. Who is promoted and who is subordinated is just a matter of a word from the factory director.

He felt that as long as the factory director nodded, his position as deputy section chief would be secure.

He had also thought about how to get the factory director to agree.

Let Lao Wang help out first. If Director Li doesn’t object, then you can go ahead.

Just give Director Li some good cigarettes and wine, then steal two small yellow croakers from Lou Xiaoe's dowry and stuff them into Director Li's office, and then the matter will be settled, right?

Originally Xu Damao was planning to be fine, but after hearing Wang Hongtao's analysis, his mood immediately became gloomy.

Wang Hongtao patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said, "You have to eat one bite at a time."

"If the deputy section chief position is taken over by a 26th-level clerk like you, Xu Damao, what will the other group leaders and staff of the Propaganda Section think? Wouldn't the whole department be in chaos?"

"So instead of planning for the unrelated position of deputy section chief, it is better to think about how to become a team leader and do things first."

At this point, Wang Hongtao changed the subject and asked, "Have you done what I told you last time about recruiting apprentices and going to the countryside more often?"

Xu Damao scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well... I haven't found a suitable apprentice yet, but I've already applied for going to the countryside. I plan to visit all the countryside around the city before the weather gets cold!"

Before, Xu Damao had never considered going to the countryside in order to save trouble, but this time, seeing that there was an opportunity but he was not included in it, Xu Damao finally made up his mind.

Wang Hongtao gave Xu Damao a thumbs up and said, "That's the right way to think. If you want to be a leader and get promoted, you have to make sacrifices."

"I'll give you another suggestion. This time when you go to the countryside, don't ask them for local specialties. Ask them for a thank-you letter. And don't take the thank-you letter back yourself. Ask them to send it directly to the steel mill."

"The promotion of deputy section chief will not only vacate the position of deputy section chief."

"When the deputy section chief is promoted, the clerks below him will be promoted, and the vacant position will be given to the team leader."

"So when a carrot is placed on the ground, a series of holes will be created. If you move more quickly this time, you will definitely be one of the holes!"

Xu Damao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Brother, what you said makes sense! I have to make you happy today no matter what I say!"

"I toast to you!"

……

After making up his mind, Xu Damao no longer had any worries and soon drank one cup after another until he was drunk.

"Brother Da Mao, Brother Da Mao?"

Wang Hongtao patted Xu Damao's face, but there was no response.

Damn it, I have to carry Xu Damao back to the yard, this bastard.

....

"Master, do you need help?"

Wang Hongtao had just walked a few steps with Xu Damao on his shoulders when he heard a calm voice in his ears.

Looking back, I saw a guy with a flat face!

Isn’t it just Cai Quanwu, the cunning one?

It’s just right that the pillow appears when I’m sleepy!

"Yes, yes! Please take us to Nanluoguxiang, Courtyard 95."

"okay."

……

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao, who was drunk as a puddle, with disgust on her face: "Why did you drink so much again? He just finished a social event at the factory yesterday, and today you forced him to drink again!"

"What if you get sick if you keep drinking like this?"

Wang Hongtao raised his eyebrows: "What can I do? You are my woman now, I don't want him to touch you."

Lou Xiao'e nodded in agreement, but soon frowned again: "You can't drink like this every day. What if you damage your body? If it gets out, people will say that I, Lou Xiao'e, am unlucky in marriage."

"Well, help me think of a way to get Xu Damao to go to XX Hospital for a checkup. I'll ask the hospital to issue a fake certificate, instructing Xu Damao to rest and abstain from sex for a while."

Although the Lou family has donated a lot of assets, they still have a lot in their hands. For example, the Lou family has shares in XX Hospital, so the false certificate that Lou Xiaoe said may be true.

"That's a good idea!"

Wang Hongtao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Although Xu Damao was not a good person, he still had nothing to say about himself, so he didn't want to secretly destroy him.

The method Lou Xiao'e just mentioned is very good. Not only can it protect Lou Xiao'e, but it will not hurt the relationship between him and Xu Damao.

Seeing Wang Hongtao's expression, Lou Xiao'e said with disgust: "Look at how stingy you are!"

Wang Hongtao didn't care and embraced Lou Xiao'e: "I love you, shouldn't you be happy? If I don't mind at all, you will have a headache!"

Lou Xiao'e thought about it and felt that this was indeed the truth, so she hugged Wang Hongtao's arm with a smile and said, "You are right. I am now afraid that you will not want me after you get married."

"Don't worry about that. As long as you are willing, I will be good to you for the rest of my life." Wang Hongtao vowed.

"Really?" Lou Xiao'e narrowed her eyes into crescent shapes and raised her head to ask.

"It couldn't be more true! Who made my sister-in-law Xiao'e so attractive?!"

Lou Xiao'e nodded: "I believe you."

"Come in now, I miss you." Lou Xiao'e shyly pulled Wang Hongtao's hand and walked into the bedroom first.

"Hey... I can't tell that you're starting to think about it at this point?" Wang Hongtao joked.

After hanging out with this shameless guy for a long time, Lou Xiao'e was also infected, so she just gave it a go and smiled charmingly: "I just thought about it, do you want to come in?"

"Haha, do I need to ask again, my dear sister-in-law?" Wang Hongtao quickly followed.

"Sister-in-law, have you heated up the water? How about we take a shower first?"

Lou Xiao'e glanced at Wang Hongtao and said, "Of course it's a fever. As soon as you drank with Xu Damao, I knew you were up to no good."

"Hehe, you are worthy of being my good sister-in-law. You understand me after all."

Wang Hongtao grinned, becoming more and more satisfied with Lou Xiaoe's performance.

While I was leaning against the window and smoking a cigarette, I heard Lou Xiao'e pouring water after washing.

Wang Hongtao excitedly put out the half-smoked cigarette and threw it out of the window, then ran into the bedroom like a flash.
