Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

After hearing Wang Hongtao's evaluation, Li Huaide nodded and said, "A few days ago, Xu Damao came to me to express his loyalty and praised himself to the skies. I was thinking whether I should give him a job."

"That's right. Xu Damao is very good at talking. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to marry the girl from the Lou family."

After Wang Hongtao said this, Li Huaide immediately gave up the idea of ​​taking in Xu Damao. Yes, he almost forgot that he was still the son-in-law of the Lou family. Moreover, this kid was so determined to draw a line between himself and the Lou family. He must have a rebellious mind!

Who would feel safe keeping such a person around?

The boy in front of me is still the best, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, loyal and considerate of me in everything.

Looking at Wang Hongtao with satisfaction, Li Huaide said, "You recently bought a three-wheeled vehicle, right? I've already told the logistics department, so you can come over anytime if you need oil. It will be billed to the transportation department."

"Oh, thank you Director Li!" Wang Hongtao said in surprise.

"Oh, get busy..."

Back in the office, Zhang Na poured a cup of tea and brought it over, asking, "Why did the factory manager want to see you just now?"

But Wang Hongtao grabbed her hand and the teacup together and gently held her in his arms: "Nothing, just came to me to find out the situation."

“Tuk tuk tuk…”

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhang Na quickly broke free and ran back to her seat.

"Come in!"

Liu Yanan walked in with a report in her hand. She had bangs and a neat ponytail at the back of her head. She was wearing a decent work suit, showing the charm of a working woman to the fullest.

"Chief Wang, this is the allowance distribution plan for the new quarter from the Labor and Capital Affairs Department. Please take a look at it."

Wang Hongtao took the report and took a quick look at it. He saw that he accounted for 30%, the deputy section chief accounted for 15%, and the rest accounted for more or less. Anyway, it was about the same, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's divide it like this."

Liu Yanan nodded and was about to leave, but Wang Hongtao took advantage of her while handing in her report. Afterwards, she straightened her clothes and complained in a low voice, "You are getting bolder and bolder. In broad daylight..."

Wang Hongtao chuckled, "Hey, Sister Liu, you don't know how attractive you look in this outfit!"

"You're the one who insisted on me wearing it like this? I told you that the size of the dress was too small, but you refused to believe me!"

"No, this is just right."

"Nana, don't you think so?"

Zhang Na stretched out her little head and nodded: "Sister Liu, you look really good in this outfit, and your figure is plump."

Liu Yanan glared at her angrily: "You have been led astray. I will ignore you two!"

After saying that, he left angrily.

……

Steel rolling mills and courtyard houses;

Beside the woods, beside the creek, in the dormitory, at home;

A day, a week, a month, a year...

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two years, Wang Hongtao has been consistently moving among many women, insisting on following the prime minister's will.

But the surrounding atmosphere is becoming increasingly severe, causing everyone to panic.

Some of them are restless and start jumping around, wanting to achieve something.

That morning, Wang Hongtao was drinking tea and reading a newspaper in his office when he received a call from Director Li, asking him to hurry to the conference room to attend a meeting.

"Okay Director Li, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Hongtao knew that what was coming had finally come.

Sure enough, at the meeting, there were several unfamiliar middle-aged men standing next to Li Huaide, with red armbands on their shoulders.

After everyone gathered, the red sleeves announced: "After research and decision by the higher authorities, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill will set up a temporary office. The director will be Comrade Li Huaide, the factory director, and there will be three deputy directors, Comrade Zhang Yishan, Liao Youzhi and Comrade Wang Hongtao."

Zhang Yishan is the deputy factory director who took over Li Huaide's original position. Before taking office as deputy factory director, he was the director of the logistics department and was also Li Huaide's confidant.

After the meeting, Li Huaide asked the kitchen to prepare a table of side dishes to entertain the leaders above, and brought three deputy directors along to accompany them.

After eating and drinking, several leaders left contentedly with their "souvenirs".

Li Huaide called a few people to the conference room to discuss things.

......

There were only four people sitting in the huge conference room, making it seem very empty.

"Everyone here is a family. I would like to discuss with you how to arrange the next work. Please speak freely and don't be afraid of saying something wrong." Li Huaide said with a smile.

Several people looked at each other, and finally Zhang Yishan spoke up: "We will listen to you, Director!"

"Yes, I, Liao Youzhi, am a rough man. I only have one thing to say: we will do whatever you say!"

Li Huaide turned his head to Wang Hongtao: "Hongtao, what about you? You are a person with your own ideas. You say whatever you think without any scruples."

Wang Hongtao considered for a moment and said, "First of all, I want to express my attitude. I am the same as them. I always stand on the same line with you, Director Li."

"Secondly, I would like to add one more point to theirs. I think it is better for our steel mills to maintain moderation in their activities and focus on production."

"Of course, the specific decision still needs to be made by Director Li."

Next, Wang Hongtao briefly described the reasons why he did this.

Li Huaide frowned after hearing this.

He had originally thought about doing something big, but after hearing what Wang Hongtao said...

indeed,

Flowers do not last forever;

The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, so you have to be on guard.

......

"Well, I will seriously consider your suggestion." In the end, Li Huaide decided to adopt Wang Hongtao's opinion. In this kind of matter, it is better to be safe. It will not be too late to make a decision after the situation becomes clear.

Siheyuan.

Yi Zhonghai also followed the trend and gave up the position of the eldest uncle. Now there are only two uncles in the courtyard, the eldest uncle Liu Haizhong and the second uncle Xu Damao. Originally, Liu Haizhong wanted He Yuzhu to be the third uncle, but after knowing that Yi Zhonghai had stepped down, how could He Yuzhu be willing to get involved?

As for Yan Bugui, there is no need to say more. He is now trembling with fear when teaching a class, for fear of offending the students, so he keeps a low profile.

After being an uncle for a few days, his bangs soon started to swell. He felt that his chance had come, and volunteered to find Director Li.

"Who are you?" Li Huaide frowned and looked at Liu Haizhong who came uninvited.

"Oh, hello, Director Li. I'm from Workshop 7 and a level 7 forger." Liu Haizhong nodded and said, "Well, I came here today mainly to report some situations to you."

He first talked about some recent events in his hospital and stated his position and attitude.

Li Huaide, on the other hand, praised this old comrade for his high ideological awareness and strong leadership ability.

Liu Haizhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and began to boast: "Director Li, I won't hide it from you. In our hospital, there are more than 20 households, seven of which work in our steel mill. Now there are more than 100 people in the hospital under my supervision. This... I am the boss of the hospital."

"By the way, Director Li, do you know Xu Damao? He's the projectionist in our factory. He's always very respectful to me. Then there's Yi Zhonghai, the eighth-level fitter, and He Yuzhu, the team leader in our factory cafeteria. I'm in charge of all of them. If I didn't have some skills, how could I..."

Li Huaide waved his hand to stop Liu Haizhong who wanted to continue speaking: "No, no...Master Liu, please wait a moment."

"Wang Hongtao from the Labor and Personnel Department also lives in the same courtyard with you, right? Could it be that he is also under your leadership?"

Li Huaide asked with a smile and a kind expression.

"Of course...of course it's impossible..." Liu Haizhong smiled awkwardly, "Section Chief Wang is different from others. He doesn't like the position of a big shot. Otherwise, I would have nothing to do with him."

Fortunately, Liu Haizhong reacted quickly and did not step on Wang Hongtao to the ground, otherwise it would be useless even if Liu Haizhong had a positive attitude.

"Okay, Comrade Liu Haizhong, how old are you this year?"
