Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

"Director Liu, you may not know that things like projection equipment are very easy to break, such as film transport gears, pulleys, film doors, frame offset adjusters, intermittent motion mechanisms, shutters, and film supply and rewinding devices. Components such as devices basically need to be replaced every few months to prevent malfunctions during the screening and lead to screening accidents.

You may know that a movie often attracts thousands of people to watch the movie. If the projector breaks down halfway through the movie, those people waiting to watch the movie will definitely cause trouble.

Therefore, once these parts are found to be damaged, they need to be replaced in advance.

The power to judge whether a part can still be used lies in Wang Dazui's hands.

With just one word from him, the originally good parts can be disposed of as scrap.

So, after drinking a few bottles of wine, the parts on the projector started to 'break' one after another.

Broken equipment can be sold to scrapyards according to regulations.

As luck would have it, I happened to know the manager of the collective scrap shop. As long as I bought a pack of cigarettes, he would generously sell those scraps to me.

After all, waste products are of no use.

that's it.

In just half a year, I had a complete set of projection equipment. "

Xu Damao finished speaking proudly, his drunkenness gradually disappeared, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Wang Weidong, who was sitting opposite him, was a big factory director.

His behavior of poaching corners of the factory is strictly against the rules.

Xu Damao thought of this and grasped the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, his body trembling slightly. His heartbeat was racing, as if it was about to burst out of his chest.

"Director Liu, I didn't mean it either. As you know, our projectionists' wages are relatively low, and we have to take great risks every time we go to the countryside."

What Xu Damao said is true. Projectionist is actually a very embarrassing position in these days.

Although he is under the management of the Propaganda Department, he is not a member of the department, he is still a worker. Wages are also paid according to workers' standards.

Even though he holds the power to screen movies, Xu Damao's monthly salary is five yuan less than Sha Zhu.

What's even more depressing is that the projectionist needs to perform the task of showing movies in the countryside. In these days, many places in the countryside are still deserted. Wild wolves are often encountered in the woods and on hillsides.

Moreover, the roads are rugged and there are no roads at all in some places. Walking at night is likely to be dangerous.

The projectionists in the rolling mill have suffered a lot over the years. Some can find bodies, and some can't even find them.

Under such circumstances, Xu Damao was understandable in feeling aggrieved.

Thinking of this, Wang Weidong remembered something else.

When reading the original work, he had always been curious about why Lou Bancheng, as the director of the steel rolling mill, fell in love with Xu Damao and asked Xu Damao to be his son-in-law.

Throughout the ages, there have been many cases where daughters from wealthy families got married.

There are two possibilities. One is that the son-in-law is really outstanding, like the number one scholar in ancient times. Once he is named on the gold list, those wealthy families will crowd in the place where the list is released to grab it. If it were modern times, one would have to have a successful career and become a small leader in a steel rolling mill at a young age.

The other is that his daughter is ugly and shy to see others. In ancient times, there were often rough-looking girls in the families of those outside the Yuan Dynasty who could not marry people of the same class, so they would recruit some sons-in-law. In order to live a good life, those poor boys coveted the glory and wealth of their husband's family, and Choose to marry into your family.

But these two conditions are not suitable for Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e.

As a projectionist, Xu Damao, although he claims to be a man of culture, is actually just a small worker and cannot be considered outstanding at all. Moreover, he has a donkey face, let alone handsome. The Lou family will definitely look down on such a person.

Lou Xiao'e is a lady, but her appearance is not bad at all. Her skin is fair and delicate, as smooth as porcelain. His eyes are as bright as stars, showing intelligence and alertness. In the courtyard, her appearance is second only to Qin Huairu, and much more beautiful than He Yueyue and Yu Haitang.

There is no need to recruit a live-in son-in-law.

It can be said that, relying on Lou Bancheng's identity and Lou Xiao'e's appearance, Lou Xiao'e wants to find a husband, and those outstanding young men in the steel rolling mill can line up from the door of the workshop to the outside.

Xu Damao was not up to standard in terms of ability or appearance. Why did Lou Bancheng fall in love with Xu Damao?

Wang Weidong now understands that the reason lies in the nature of Xu Damao's work.

After Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao got married, they gave birth to a child.

Xu Damao was born into a poor family of three generations. When he had an accident while showing a movie, Lou Xiao'e's children could inherit Xu Damao's origin and position.

Moreover, Xu Damao made an accident by showing movies for the common people. This reputation is really good, and Lou Xiao'e and that child are like an extra layer of talisman.

When the time comes, the Lou family's property will be handed over to this child, which will ensure that the Lou family will be worry-free for a hundred years.

As for why Xu Damao must have had an accident, it is very simple. Lou Bancheng was a person who came before liberation. He was able to come through the bloody storm and buy such a large family property. How could he be an ordinary person?

Such people are so cruel and ruthless! If nothing happens to Xu Damao, he can help Xu Damao to avoid accidents!

It must be said that Lou Bancheng's calculations were very clever.

However, people are not as good as God. Lou Bancheng did not calculate that Xu Damao was infertile. Instead, he had no children after marrying Lou Xiao'e.

Only then did Lou Bancheng's plans come to nothing.

Bringing the topic back.

Wang Weidong is not that kind of pedantic leader, and he doesn't care about the little tricks Xu Damao does.

After all, if you want a horse to run fast, you have to give it grass. If the horse cannot eat grass through regular channels, you have to find ways to eat weeds.

"Da Mao, don't worry!" Wang Weidong waved his hand at Xu Damao and said with a smile: "I understand your difficulties."

When Xu Damao heard this, he was so moved that he almost cried. Even though he was usually a brother to the little leaders, those guys essentially treated him as a chamber pot. Fuck him. No leader has ever cared as much about Xu Damao as Wang Weidong.

Although Qin Jingru didn't know what Wang Weidong was going to do, she still took the opportunity to stir things up: "Da Mao, did you see it? Director Liu treats you so well. If you dare to make trouble with Director Liu in the future, I will be the first to spare you. "

Hearing this, Xu Damao quickly picked up a glass of wine and stood up: "Director Liu, your trust is like the spring breeze blowing on my face, making my heart warm. I am willing to become a pillar and hold up the sky for you. With your care, It is the motivation for my struggle. No matter the wind or rain, no matter the difficulties, I will be loyal to you, overcome all obstacles and never give up."

Qin Jingru: "."

Wang Weidong: "."

He looked up at Xu Damao and said with a frown: "Da Mao, where did you learn these words?"

"Hey, didn't I go to Deputy Director Huang's house yesterday to show a movie? I happened to meet Deputy Director Liu from the Logistics Department going to Director Huang's house for dinner. Good guy, at the dinner table, this guy was shouting this long paragraph. After telling it once, Factory Director Huang was moved to tears, so I took it and copied it."

Deputy Factory Director Huang is about to get this guy and prepare to take action. The Logistics Department is the most critical department of the steel rolling mill. In addition to supplying materials, it is also in charge of the water and electricity supply of the workshop. Once he takes over the Logistics Department, the new workshop may be in big trouble in the future.

Wang Weidong always pays attention to striking first and taking advantage when doing things, so naturally he cannot let this happen.

He looked at Xu Damao and said: "Da Mao, I am giving you a task now, are you confident to complete it?"

Hearing the mission, Xu Damao immediately became energetic. He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He looked at Wang Weidong and said: "Director Liu, you are my great benefactor. It was only after taking your prescription that Jingru gave birth to her son. Only three generations of our old Xu family will be passed down alone, so that we will not be the last generation in my generation.

You made me the steward of the courtyard again.

You have been kind to me, Damao.

As long as you say a word, I, Xu Damao, will never refuse, even if I have to go up the mountain of knives or go down into the sea of ​​fire! "

"It's not as easy as going up the mountain of swords and falling into the sea of ​​fire." Wang Weidong waved his hand at Xu Damao and said, "Da Mao, I'm going to let you serve as the deputy director of the new workshop, specifically responsible for communicating with the steel rolling mill."

Although the deputy director of the new workshop belongs to the new workshop in name, he is actually a cadre establishment of the steel rolling mill. This is where Deputy Director Huang is dissatisfied with the new workshop.

Why can Lanhua Automobile Factory control the personnel arrangements of the steel rolling mill through the new workshop?

Xu Damao also knew this. His heartbeat accelerated and blood rushed in his blood vessels, as if an endless energy was surging in his body.

At the thought of finally being a leader, Xu Damao's breathing quickened and his eyes flashed with excitement. He felt like an eagle with spread wings, soaring in the vast sky.

"It's been decades. It's been decades! I, Damao, am finally going to be the leader!"

The ancestors of the Xu family were either long-term tenant farmers or workers. Their biggest dream was to become a leader. When Xu Jixiang left the capital, he told Xu Damao several times to have a good relationship with the leader and strive to become a small leader in the future.

For this reason, Xu Damao married Lou Xiao'e and divorced Lou Xiao'e. Later, he used the gold bars left by the Lou family to make friends.

Over the years, I have spent a lot of money, almost all the gold bars have been given away, and I have drank a lot of wine, but I have been fooled many times and have not become a so-called leader.

Xu Damao has lost confidence these days and is planning to be a projectionist for the rest of his life.

How can I not be happy when I hear this news now!

Qin Jingru was also surprised. She knew that Wang Weidong actually looked down on Xu Damao. Otherwise, why didn't Xu Damao agree to Xu Damao's previous request?

But she knew that Wang Weidong must have his reasons for doing things, so she didn't say anything more.

"Da Mao, Director Liu is going to promote you, why don't you thank Director Liu quickly!" Qin Jingru said with a smile.

"Ah, yes, yes, how could I have forgotten this?" Xu Damao came to his senses, quickly picked up the wine glass, and said to Wang Weidong: "Director Liu, I, Damao, have never been convinced by anyone in my life. You are The first one that I admire from the bottom of my heart, I’ll give you a toast.”

"Da Mao, when you become the deputy director of the workshop, you must work hard and not engage in crooked ways." Wang Weidong took a sip from his wine glass and took the opportunity to warn Xu Damao.

Xu Damao picked up the wine glass, drank it down and said, "Director Liu, don't worry, I, Xu Damao, am a man who knows the rules. We all know clearly what should be done and what should not be done."

Wang Weidong believed Xu Damao's words.

In the original work, Xu Damao did many bad things, but he never pulled food from the public granary.

In the later period, he followed Deputy Director Li for a while and briefly had power, but he never acted for personal gain.

On the contrary, the bangs, which have always been honest and upright, have done a lot of dirty things.

The reason why Xu Damao wanted to be a leader was actually to have a taste of power and was not interested in money.

Qin Jingru also said beside him: "Director Liu, don't worry, if Damao dares to mess around, I will be the first to let him go."

In order to express his gratitude, Xu Damao drank one cup after another. After a while, he passed out drunk on the table.

patter

His head fell on the table, and Xu Damao fell into a deep sleep.

"Oh, Damao, what did you do? Director Liu is not drunk yet, but you are drunk instead. Is there anyone who wants to treat guests like you?" Qin Jingru deliberately shouted. Seeing that Xu Damao didn't respond, she extended her hand to Xu Damao. pinched his face twice.

Seeing that Xu Damao was still motionless, he felt relieved.

"Director Liu, wait a minute." Qin Jingru seemed to remember something and changed into the back room.

What the hell is this little wife doing?

After a while, Qin Jingru came out of the back room.

Wearing an emerald green cotton-padded jacket, it feels like the young leaves and branches are embracing each other in spring, fresh and natural. The black pants fit her slender legs, and her curves were beautiful and seductive.

The little face smeared with alabaster is delicate and picturesque, the eyebrows are like distant mountains, and the eyes are like autumn water, smart and affectionate. The red lips are slightly parted, and the smile is full of smiles, which makes people's hearts beat.

Qin Jingru had a graceful figure, and she walked towards her gracefully, as if catkins were dancing lightly as she walked, elegant and charming.

"Director Liu, does it look good? I went to the tailor shop to buy this suit especially for you."

Qin Jingru pinched the corner of her clothes and turned around so that her beauty could be fully seen by Wang Weidong.

The combination of the emerald green cotton-padded jacket and black trousers is simple yet elegant, showing her beauty and sexiness to the fullest.

Wang Weidong pulled gently, and Qin Jingru took advantage of the situation to sit on his lap, raised her little face and said with a smile: "Director Liu, I miss you."

After half an hour.

Wang Weidong, who was dressed neatly again, was preparing to leave the Xu family.

Qin Jingru took his arm and begged: "Director Liu, I want to have a conversation with you."

Seeing her cute little look, Wang Weidong felt a little soft-hearted, lit a cigarette and lay down on the bed again.

Qin Jingru snuggled up to Wang Weidong contentedly and whispered: "Director Liu, there is something I can't figure out. Why did you suddenly use Xu Damao? He is a big bad guy."

"You are still so cute!" Wang Weidong said with a smile: "Xu Damao is really not a thing, but that's exactly why I want to use him. You will understand after a while."
