Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Several people sat down.

Since Wang Hongtao’s experiences over the past few months could not be discussed, the topic inevitably turned back to Liu Haizhong once again.

"Brother Lao Wang, when the Second Master wanted to criticize you at the whole hospital meeting, I didn't just stand by and watch. I was really unwavering in speaking up for you."

"Right, brother Abin?" Xu Damao acted like a good brother and said, patting his chest.

Wang Hongbin thought for a long time before he remembered and laughed it off: "Yeah, that's what happened!"

"By the way, brother, do you want to continue targeting Fatty Liu?"

"Did he show any reaction after the last time we did it?" Wang Hongtao asked.

Wang Hongbin looked around and hesitated.

"It's okay, there are no outsiders here." Wang Hongtao waved his hand indifferently.

"He paid me 600 yuan as compensation the day I came out of the interrogation. Afterwards, I gave the section chief two packs of cigarettes, treated the brothers on duty to a meal, and gave each of them a pack of cigarettes. I still had 400 yuan left after spending all that."

Wang Hongbin considered for a moment and then said, "After that, Fatty Liu kept a low profile, as if he had disappeared. He was rarely seen in the hospital on weekdays."

"Let's leave it at that for now and see how he performs later." Wang Hongtao said calmly.

"Just let him go like this?" Wang Hongbin felt a little unwilling after thinking about it. In his opinion, although Liu Haizhong suffered a lot of losses, it was his own fault.

I have already taken revenge on him, but what does that have to do with my brother?

Wang Hongtao smiled and said, "Targeting is never the purpose, but a means. The purpose is to make others fear you and not dare to provoke you at will."

"At that time, Liu Haizhong came to our house to cause trouble, and we were in the right, so it was justified for you to beat him up or smash his glass.

But now Liu Haizhong has already suffered a loss and has given in. If we continue to pursue him for revenge, it will seem a bit inhumane, and others will think that we have gone too far, which will affect our family's reputation."

"Do you know why Director Li waited for a week before taking action after Liu Haizhong gave him a hard time?"

"Because that would minimize the impact!"

After Wang Hongtao finished speaking, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

"Let's not talk about me anymore. Let's talk about you, Abin. How are you and your boyfriend doing?"

Wang Hongbin scratched his head and said, "Hey, their family doesn't have any objections, but I'm not old enough. I have to wait until next year to get the marriage certificate."

"By the way, brother, on the fourth day of the New Year, the courtyard sent a few sets of clothes over. I took them to Yuhua's house. Yuhua liked them very much and said they fit her well."

"It fits, right? That's good. I just measured Liu Yuhua's height and weight and asked the tailor to make it. I was worried that the size wouldn't fit."

At this time, Xu Damao continued: "Liu Yuhua came to the hospital to look for A Bin two months ago. My goodness, who would have thought that... Liu Yuhua looks so good after losing weight, especially her figure, it's amazing!"

"Didn't you see how stupid Shazhu is? He's almost ruined his intestines!"

"He ran over to talk to someone and tried to get close to him, but Liu Yuhua not only ignored him, but also beat him up. He stayed at home for two days!"

After saying that, Xu Damao looked at Wang Hongbin with envy, but he was only envious and not jealous, because he couldn't control himself with the love Liu Yuhua gave him.

After sitting for a while, the person who was to hand over the work came over, and the person who took over his position was none other than Boss Zhang.

The two of them naturally exchanged some pleasantries.

"Big head, I've been transferred to the Labor and Personnel Department, and I don't allow others to bully my apprentice!"

Big Zhang glanced at him unhappily and said, "You're being promoted, not demoted. Those bastards in the Transportation Department are very cunning. Who would be so blind as to do such a stupid thing?"

"There's no need for handover. You don't know as much about transportation as I do. Just take your personal belongings with you later."

"That's true." Wang Hongtao nodded. That's how Boss Zhang speaks, or rather, no one in the transportation department is polite when speaking. If he were to speak, he would call everyone a piece of shit, too.

As they were talking, Director Li came in.

"Hello, Director Li."

"Hello, Director Li."

.....

Everyone stood up and greeted them.

"Oh, it's quite lively." Li Huaide responded with a smile: "Are you all chatting here?"

"Lao Zhang is here to hand over his work. The others are my friends and they came to congratulate me." Wang Hongtao responded with a smile.

"Friends are good. To do work, we need more friends and unite with comrades. Only in this way can we do the work well." Li Huaide met them one by one with a kind attitude.

"Have you finished talking? If you are, I will take you to the Labor and Personnel Department and introduce you to some people."

As soon as Li Huaide said this, others also said goodbye. In a blink of an eye, only Wang Hongtao and Li Huaide were left in the office.

“Will it be a bit out of place?”

Wang Hongtao felt that he had already done well as deputy section chief of the Labor and Personnel Section, and was afraid that it would cause controversy if he was brought along by the deputy factory director.

"It's okay. I have some influence in the factory. I can save you a lot of trouble if I take you there."

Wang Hongtao understood immediately when he heard this, Li Huaide was there to support him.

At first glance, it seems that Wang Hongtao will be given the position of deputy section chief, and the only one who can cause trouble to him is the section chief above him; and Section Chief Wu is a friendly and amiable person who arrives on time immediately. So, will Wang Hongtao be able to gain a foothold easily?

In fact, this is not the case, because in addition to the section chief and deputy section chief, the Labor and Personnel Section also has a number of secretaries and clerks.

The clerk was thinking that the deputy section chief had been transferred, so was there any hope for him to take over?

The clerk would then think, if the clerk becomes the deputy section chief, then would he have a chance to get the original clerk's position?

……

But with the arrival of the outsider Wang Hongtao, a series of chain reactions disappeared, and it would be strange if the people in the Labor and Personnel Department would treat Wang Hongtao well.

Solving this problem is very simple. As long as Li Huaide accompanies him, he can let the people in the Labor and Personnel Department know that Wang Hongtao is going to be a cadre in the Labor and Personnel Department first, and then the position of deputy section chief will be vacant.

Instead, a deputy section chief position was vacant in the Labor and Personnel Section, which was previously occupied by Wang Hongtao.

Some seats are vacated because someone wants to come.

……

Labor and Relations Section.

Seeing Director Li and Wang Hongtao coming over, almost everyone in the Labor and Personnel Department came to the door to greet them.

Section Chief Wu Luyang stood at the front, holding Li Huaide's right hand with both hands, with an excited expression:

"Director Li, this must be Comrade Wang Hongtao, right? He is indeed a very talented person! On behalf of the Labor and Personnel Department, I, Wu Luyang, would like to thank you, Director Li, for sending such a great man to our Labor and Personnel Department."

The other colleagues also had smiles on their faces, and seemed very happy that Wang Hongtao joined their team.

"Chief Wu, you are too kind. Xiao Wang is still young and needs an experienced old comrade like you to lead the way for him."

Li Huaide has a friendly smile and a warm attitude:

"Also, Chief Wu, please don't think that I, Li Huaide, am nepotistic and meddling in the work of your Labor and Personnel Department just because Comrade Xiao Wang was my driver before."

"Comrade Wang Hongtao made contributions to the military, so the military specifically asked our steel mill to make proper arrangements for him. Even his rank was specially approved by the military for an exceptional promotion."

"Do you think we can hastily arrange for someone like him who is given special care by the military? Secretary Nie, Director Yang, and I discussed for a long time before deciding to arrange him in your Labor and Personnel Department. I hope Chief Wu will take good care of him!"

It was unprecedented for Li Huaide to speak so many words in one breath, which moved Wang Hongtao who was standing beside him.

When these words were spoken, not only did Wu Luyang's body tremble slightly, but the expressions of the other people around him were also touched, and they looked as if they were thinking about something.

"Haha, of course, of course. We in the Labor and Personnel Department always obey the organization's arrangements unconditionally!"

Wu Luyang first expressed his attitude to Li Huaide, then turned his head to Wang Hongtao: "Comrade Wang Hongtao, our Labor and Personnel Department welcomes you to join us!"

"Chief Wu, you are too polite. From now on, I, Wang Hongtao, will be your soldier. If there is anything I do not do well, I hope you can criticize and correct me." Wang Hongtao hurriedly stretched out his hands to receive it, with a correct attitude and respectful words.

"Okay, since you all know each other, I'll go first."

"And Xiao Wang, you must work hard when you arrive at the Labor and Personnel Department. If you encounter something you don't understand, ask Chief Wu for instructions. If you don't do well, it will be a disgrace to me, Li Huaide!"

After encouraging Wang Hongtao a few more words, Li Huaide left.
