Scholars in the courtyard.

When Yang Xiaotao got off the car and arrived at his destination, he saw a restaurant with a quaint building in front of him, which looked upscale.

After the two walked in, they saw many people sitting there, waiting.

Yang Xiaotao went over and saw that there were ten workshop directors plus him, and there were no shortage of eleven people. There were also section chief Zhao from the security department, director of the publicity department, and people from the technical department. There were about 11 people together.

These people are all high-level executives of the rolling mill, and they are all gathered here. The dinner at noon today is not low-standard.

"Uncle Wang, what's the matter?"

Walked up to Wang Guodong, greeted Sun Guo and others, and asked casually.

"Why are you here so late?"

"Have you already been notified?"

Yang Xiaotao asked, Wang Guodong frowned, "Yes, I told you after get off work yesterday, there is a dinner at noon today, come early."

"You do not know?"

"I do not know!"

Seeing Wang Guodong's surprised appearance, Yang Xiaotao asked curiously, "Uncle Wang, what's the good thing? So many people came to eat."

"Of course it's a good thing. Let me tell you."

Before the meeting was over, Wang Guodong told Yang Xiaotao the reason.

Hearing that Liu Huaimin had been promoted to a higher level and became the direct leader of the rolling mill, Wang Guodong and the others were all happy, and Yang Xiaotao was also happy.

After all, he is his own person, so he will definitely take care of him.

When talking about Xu Yuanshan, Wang Guodong was even happier.

Yang Xiaotao knew why, but he didn't explain it.

However, Xu Yuanshan may not be willing. Judging from the current situation, as long as he is in this rolling mill, he will sooner or later take over Yang Youning's shift. At that time, the director of a large factory like a rolling mill will be much better than a chemical plant.

Of course, the prospects for the development of future chemical plants are equally broad, but that is the future.

After Wang Guodong finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao thought deeply, "It seems that this turmoil is not small. Even the superstructure has been affected, which is really unimaginable."

After Yang Xiaotao knew what was going on, he also knew that the purpose of today's dinner was a farewell banquet, or a breakup dinner.

Of course, it was the high-level people who broke up. For them, there was nothing to do, they should eat and drink.

After a while, Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning appeared. The four-person team in the rolling mill will become a two-person partner in the future, and it is inevitable to be a little embarrassed.

"Everyone is here, don't stand still, take your seat quickly, take your seat."

Liu Huaimin said, Yang Youning asked Secretary Li to start arranging seats as agreed.

Everyone is not in a hurry. At this time, you can't sit around. Those who are close to the leader must be popular celebrities. Those who are farther away do not mean alienated, but they are definitely not as good as those who are close.

If you sit in the wrong seat, you are not worthy of virtue.

There is a lot to pay attention to here.

Yang Xiaotao stayed behind the crowd. Among them, he was the youngest, with the least seniority, and it seemed that he was called here temporarily to make up the numbers. I guess he has nothing to do with today's arrangement.

Staying behind and watching Liu Huaimin sitting at the main table, Yang Youning, Xu Yuanshan and others lined up one by one.

There are a total of ten seats at the main table, and Secretary Li began to arrange them.

Zhao Chuanjun took a seat, followed by Sun Guo, the director of the first workshop, Zhan Lei, the director of the second workshop, Wang Guodong, the director of the third workshop, Huang Degong, the director of the eighth workshop, and then Li Liang, the director of the propaganda department.

In this way, there is only one last seat left.

Everyone present looked at each other, wondering who was qualified to sit on it.

After all, that seat represented the core layer of the rolling mill.

In other words, after Xu Yuanshan left, the position of deputy factory director became vacant, and when Li Huaide left, the rolling mill had two places for deputy factory director.

If you really want to be promoted, you must pick from that table.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao was behind the crowd thinking about what to say when toasting for a while, when he saw Secretary Li hurrying over here.

"Director Yang, why are you still here, hurry up and take your seat."

"Ah I?"

Yang Xiaotao was stunned, and so were the people around him.

It turned out that the last one belonged to him.

But then I figured it out again, the changes in this factory are obvious to all, not to mention that this kid is not just the director.

When Yang Xiaotao sat on the stool in a daze, looked around, and heard Liu Huaimin speak, he came back to his senses.

Myself, this can be considered a high-level!

"Thank you comrades for always..."

Liu Huaimin said politely, "I hope that in the future work, you can adhere to the revolutionary attitude of diligence and hard work, carry forward the revolutionary spirit of daring to fight and seek truth from facts, and build the country..."

Bang bang bang bang
Applause sounded, Yang Xiaotao clapped his hands, then Secretary Liu held the wine glass, and everyone drank together.

Secretary Liu sat down, and Xu Yuanshan stood up again, still expressing gratitude and gratitude, and went down with a glass of wine.

Wait for the two to finish speaking.

Yang Youning on the side picked up the wine glass, "Let's toast the secretary first,..."

"This is a cup of respect to Xu..."

Then came Chen Gong.

Anyway, there were only four glasses of wine on the table, and they didn't even eat any food. Most people drink like this and probably get down by now.

But all the people present here are men who kill alcohol, so this matter is not a problem at all.

After drinking four glasses of wine, the scene began to eat and relax.

It should cost a lot of money to choose a place to eat. As far as the dishes you like, there are six meat dishes out of ten dishes, as well as drinks.

And depending on the grade, it is not for ordinary people to come.

It is estimated that only Liu Huaimin and Xu Yuanshan can get it.

The food was good. After everyone ate it, they started to compliment it. After all, it was passed down from the ancestors, and they carried it in their bones.

This time, we only talked about private matters, not business matters, and the atmosphere was good.

Yang Xiaotao toasted the two of them together with the crowd, and then sat aside to eat quietly.

Come here, don't be hungry.

While everyone was chatting with each other, Xu Yuanshan walked up to Yang Xiaotao.

"Uncle Xu!"

Yang Xiaotao wanted to get up, but Xu Yuanshan pushed him on the stool with his shoulders.

"Sit down and talk, don't be restrained."

"Uncle Xu, congratulations!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled, but Xu Yuanshan waved his hands, "I'm just a layman at the chemical plant. It's not easy for laymen to guide experts!"

Yang Xiaotao knew about this, so he didn't say much about work.

"I heard that your son is about to give birth?"

When Xu Yuanshan talked about the business, Yang Xiaotao understood what he meant, and immediately nodded, "It's been a few days!"

"Well, I'm leaving the factory tomorrow, and I guess I'll be busy for a while."

"The child's full moon wine may not be in time, so you keep this red envelope in advance."

As he spoke, he took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Yang Xiaotao.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao hesitated, he added another sentence.

"For the kids!"

Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to accept it.

People around saw it and didn't take it seriously.

They are all aware of the relationship between the two.

Yang Youning looked at it, feeling a little moved.

Yang Xiaotao is obviously an emotional person, otherwise he would not vouch for Lou Xiao'e.

For such a person, maintaining relationships with emotions is more reliable than interests.

By the time the reception ended, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and many people were drunk and very drunk.

Yang Youning hugged Liu Huaimin's arm, the two of them sang, their eyes a little hot.

Chen Gong was lying on the table and grunting, Xu Yuanshan and Sun Wang Guodong were talking together, the eyes of the three were a little red.

Others also piled up in piles, helping each other to leave.

After everyone left, Yang Xiaotao walked out of the restaurant and walked towards the courtyard with his hands in his pockets.

After today, there are only two directors left in the rolling mill. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Back in the courtyard, I told my mother Ran Qiuye about the matter. The two of them didn't feel much about it, and Yang Xiaotao didn't say much.

Then he handed the red envelope from Xu Yuanshan to Ran Qiuye. Ran Qiuye opened it and saw that there were ten yuan inside, which both of them thought was a lot.

After dinner in the evening, Yang Xiaotao led Ran Qiuye for a walk in the alley, and then saw Xu Damao stumbling back from the outside, smelling of alcohol, and when he approached Yang Xiaotao, he was so frightened that he stood against the wall, and Yang Xiaotao walked past beside him protecting Ran Qiuye .

Seeing Yang Xiaotao go away, Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief.

It can be seen that the other party didn't pay attention to him, which made him feel uncomfortable again.

However, what matters now is my work.

Just now I went to the director's house to find out what happened, but the director was drunk and didn't say anything, which made him unable to let go.

Back home, seeing the messy appearance, Xu Damao could only endure the slovenliness, with grief and anger in his heart.

Originally, he wanted to go back to his hometown and ask his parents to come and help repair the house, but he didn't know that the two old people just ignored them and let him clean up by himself.

Xu Damao had no choice but to take the time to find someone.

However, at least I still have a place to live, which is much better than Shazhu.

Pleasure always trumps the pain of the enemy.

Even if it's fifty steps, it's a hundred steps.

Xu Damao thought of the stupid Zhu living under the fence of Yi Zhonghai's house, and thought of Jia Zhang's looking at Qin Huairu like he was guarding against thieves, and felt much more comfortable.

Thinking that Sha Zhu won't come back for the next three years, and he still cleans the toilet every day and picks up shit, the anger in his heart is even smoother.

"Look for a daughter-in-law, silly Zhu will be pissed to death!"

After setting his goal, Xu Damao lay on the bed thinking about who to find.

The little widow in the country certainly can't.

Yu Haitang, who had been chasing him before, didn't know if he would agree.

Moreover, he lost his job as a projectionist, so he didn't know what he was doing, Yu Haitang was terrified.

However, he really likes Yu Haitang's bony frame, at first glance, he is more fertile than Lou Xiao'e.

If Yu Haitang disagrees, what should I do?
Xu Damao was a little dazed for a while, and slowly fell asleep with the help of alcohol.

When Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye came back, Silly Zhu was standing under the locust tree in the yard, staring at his house, struggling from time to time.

Seeing the sweet appearance of Yang Xiaotao and the two of them, Shazhu felt as sick as eating fly droppings.

Looking at the place where the Yang family lived, I felt a little lost.

How did I get to this point?
Obviously, I did the right thing!

Is it wrong to honor the elderly and the old lady?

It was the old lady who was wrong, not him.

But why did you do this to him?

Looking up at the dense big elm tree, Sha Zhu's tears flowed down silently.

On the other side, Qin Huairu wanted to go out and talk to Sha Zhu, but was stopped by Jia Zhang.

Bang Geng also ran out to look at Qin Huairu, not letting her get close to Sha Zhu, otherwise the children in the courtyard would call him Silly again.

Qin Huairu had no choice but to wait until he went to the rolling mill to talk to Shazhu.

Yi Zhonghai was talking to Da Ma.

"Live your own life from now on, be careful."

"Our family has enough food, so don't feel wronged about this."

The aunt wiped her tears, "Old Yi, you have to take care of yourself in the factory, and take care of yourself."

"Just tell Qin Huairu what you need, and I'll send it to you."

Yi Zhonghai nodded, "I know that."

"Isn't it just work? I've done it before, so there's nothing to worry about."

The aunt nodded, and finally asked, "What about the Jia family?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed, "Help if you can, after all, the family is old and young."

"Besides, if there's anything else, Qin Huairu can come and help."

Big Mom nodded.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Silly Zhu who was in a daze outside, although he sympathized with him, but for the sake of his pension, he could only make him suffer a little.

Back home, Yang Xiaotao played with Ran Hongbing for a while, then went back to rest.
