Siheyuan: Kill Jia Dongxu at the beginning and kill the deaf old lady

"I hope to get a chance to correct my mistakes," Xu Damao said firmly. "I have summarized the shortcomings of my work and made an improvement plan.

I hope to continue to contribute to the factory, and I hope you can give me another chance."

Deputy Director Li pondered for a moment and finally nodded, "Okay, since you are so sincere, I will give you another chance.

But remember, opportunities are not unlimited, you have to cherish them. "

"Thank you, Deputy Director Li. I will definitely not let you down." Xu Damao said gratefully, feeling relieved and gratified in his heart.

After coming out of Deputy Director Li’s office, Xu Damao felt that he had regained his confidence and hope.

He knows that the road ahead is still full of challenges, but he is ready to face all difficulties and move forward firmly towards his goal.

Since Xu Damao became the director, he has become more and more arrogant in the courtyard.

In the past, he was just a small clerk. Although he was a bit domineering in character, he was a low-ranking official and his words did not carry much weight, so he did not dare to be too presumptuous on weekdays.

Now that he has been promoted to director, he has become more confident and there is a hint of complacency in his words and actions.

The residents in the courtyard saw the changes in Xu Damao and had their own opinions in their hearts.

Especially the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai, he is a man of high moral character and has always been respected in the courtyard.

Xu Damao used to be quite polite to him, but now he often looked down on him in public, ignored his words, and even made sarcastic remarks.

On this day, there was a small gathering in the courtyard, and everyone was chatting lively in the yard.

Xu Damao swaggered into the yard with an arrogant look on his face.

When the residents saw him coming, they stopped talking and the scene became a little awkward.

Xu Damao caught a glimpse of an old man named Yi Zhonghai talking to a few people, so he walked over.

"Hey, uncle, are you telling us stories?" Xu Damao's voice was not loud, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone. "I heard that you were very knowledgeable when you were young, and these stories are not old."

Yi Zhonghai looked up at Xu Damao and said calmly, "Director Xu, what's so strange about everyone getting together to chat?"

Xu Damao laughed and waved his hand: "No, no, what are you talking about, uncle?

I'm just saying it casually, please don't mind it.

It’s just that times have changed and many things should keep pace with the times and not always be the same old ways.”

Yi Zhonghai responded calmly: "What Director Xu said makes sense. Times are changing, and people's thinking must also change.

But some things will never change, such as the basic principles of life and work. "

Xu Damao's face changed slightly, but he soon smiled again: "Yes, yes, it's right, Master.

However, we young people also have our own ideas and practices, and we can’t always do things according to the old ways.”

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said nothing more.

He knew that Xu Damao was deliberately looking for trouble, but he was unwilling to argue with him in such a situation.

Upon seeing this, the others quickly changed the subject and the conversation became lively again.

In the following days, Xu Damao continued to do as he pleased and became more and more arrogant.

Every time he met Yi Zhonghai in the yard, he would always make some sarcastic remarks, and sometimes even deliberately find fault with him.

Although Yi Zhonghai was unhappy, he always remained calm and never confronted him head-on.

The other residents saw this and became increasingly dissatisfied with Xu Damao's behavior, but due to his position, they could not say it out loud.

One weekend, a general cleaning was organized in the courtyard.

Everyone was busy cleaning up the debris in the yard, some were sweeping the floor, some were moving things.

Xu Damao was wearing a neat suit, with his hands in his trouser pockets, strolling leisurely in the yard.

He looked at everyone busying around with a sneer on his face.

"Wow, everyone is so hardworking." Xu Damao stood in the middle of the yard and said loudly, "But, this kind of physical work really needs to be done more, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it."

Everyone listened, kept silent, and continued with their work.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Xu Damao looked a little unhappy. Just as he was about to say something else, an old man named Yi Zhonghai came over.

"Director Xu, you look really smart in this outfit." Yi Zhonghai said calmly, "But today is the general cleaning day, you should also change into casual clothes and help."

Xu Damao sneered: "Uncle, what you said is not true. My job as a director is not easier than yours.

Besides, I'm going to a meeting in this dress, so I can't let it get dirty."

Yi Zhonghai said calmly: "Director Xu is right, you are the director, and your work is indeed important.

But we are all working for the good of this courtyard, so there is no need to be so clear-cut."

Xu Damao snorted disdainfully and turned away.

I was furious, but I couldn't show it.

Every time he met Yi Zhonghai, he always felt like he was being suppressed and was extremely unhappy.

As the days went by, Xu Damao's behavior caused more and more people's dissatisfaction.

I also had conflicts with my colleagues at work due to some decision-making issues.

Although he still appeared to be doing great things on the surface, he gradually felt isolated and helpless in his heart.

In the early morning of the courtyard, the sun shines on the old house with blue bricks and gray tiles, and the yard is quiet.

However, with Xu Damao's high-profile steps, the entire courtyard suddenly became lively.

Xu Damao was wearing a brand new uniform, with several shining medals hanging on his chest, and his face was full of pride.

As he walked into the courtyard, it seemed that every step he took was announcing his new position and power to everyone.

When the residents in the courtyard saw Xu Damao, they all came forward to compliment him: "Oh, Damao, you are becoming more and more energetic. It is a very honorable position for you to hold this position!" "Director Xu, you are a big shot in our courtyard now!" Xu Damao felt very happy when he heard these flattering words, and the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily.

However, behind the superficial compliments, the people in the courtyard had different thoughts.

Everyone laughed and agreed, while muttering in their hearts: Isn't it just a bit of luck, he really thinks he is a big shot? Especially Yi Zhonghai, a respected uncle in the hospital, he looked at Xu Damao's smug look and secretly ridiculed him in his heart.

Yi Zhonghai is a mature and prudent man, who usually keeps a low profile, but he can't stand people like Xu Damao the most.

After Xu Damao walked away, Yi Zhonghai began to chat with several neighbors in the yard.

"Xu Damao is getting more and more outrageous," Yi Zhonghai said in a low voice, "Look at him, he wants the whole world to know that he has been promoted."

"Yes, Uncle Yi," Sha Zhu echoed, "You're just a small director, is it necessary to be so ostentatious? Isn't it just a tattered uniform with a few pieces of scrap metal hanging on it?" Her tone was full of disdain.

Everyone talked at once and the topic gradually deepened.
