Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 381 Xu Damao's Envy and Jealousy!
"Director Li! Uncle Lou! Brother Patriotic!" Just as everyone was about to enter the rolling mill, Xu Damao, who had just gone to the countryside to finish a movie and returned to the rolling mill, saw a few familiar voices in front of him, with a shocked expression on his face , hurriedly speeding up to catch up, and shouted to everyone with a flattering face.

When Li Huaide heard Xu Damao's shout, he subconsciously stopped and asked Xu Damao curiously: "Little comrade! Who are you?"

Hearing Li Huaide's question, Xu Damao looked at Wu Aiguo and others standing in front of him, and introduced himself flatteringly: "Director Li! My name is Xu Damao, and I'm the projectionist of our factory. I live in the same building as Brother Aiguo. In the yard."

Xu Damao introduced him here and asked Lou Zhenhua respectfully: "Uncle Lou! Hello! How do you know Brother Patriot?"

Lou Zhenhua didn't like Xu Damao at all. If it weren't for his wife, Lou Tan, who fell in love with Xu Damao, Lou Zhenhua would not have agreed to let his daughter go on a blind date with Xu Damao.

Facing Xu Damao's proactive greeting, Lou Zhenhua pretended to be friendly and replied: "It's Damao! Director Li invited Director Wu to dinner, and I came here specifically to have a meal."

Wu Aiguo saw Xu Damao who was nodding and bowing to Li Huaide and others, and greeted him with a smile, "Damao! Looking at your outfit, you should have just come back from a movie in the countryside, right?"

When Xu Damao heard Lou Zhenhua's introduction and learned that Li Huaide invited Wu Aiguo to dinner, he felt envious. Faced with Wu Aiguo's inquiry, Xu Damao replied flatteringly: "Brother Patriot! You guessed it right. , I really just came back from going to the countryside to show a movie."

When Wu Aiguo heard Xu Damao's answer, he thought that he had not told his family about not going home for dinner at night, so he immediately ordered Xu Damao: "Da Mao! When you return to the courtyard later, please tell my mother for me. Just say that I won't go back to eat tonight."

When Xu Damao learned that Li Huaide invited Wu Aiguo to dinner, he was still imagining whether he could go to the canteen to have a meal through Wu Aiguo's relationship. However, he had just had this idea in his heart. Wu Aiguo's words completely broke his heart. With high expectations, he replied with disappointment: "Brother Patriot! Don't worry, after I return the equipment, I will go home and report the news to you."

Hearing Xu Damao's answer, Wu Aiguo thanked Xu Damao with a smile: "Da Mao! Then thank you for being hungry."

"Director Wu! The cafeteria is almost ready. Let's invite them in quickly!" Seeing that it was almost done, Li Huaide immediately invited Wu Aiguo into the factory.

Xu Damao watched Wu Aiguo walk into the steel rolling mill surrounded by everyone. The flattering smile on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant. Then he spit out a mouthful of phlegm on the ground and secretly swore in his heart: "Sooner or later, one day, I, Xu Damao, also want to become a master."

Not long after everyone entered the box, Liu Lan brought the dishes into the box. When Li Huaide saw that the wine in front of everyone was poured, he immediately raised his glass and said to Wu Aiguo with a smile: "Director Wu! This is the first time. Let’s all toast to you over a glass of wine, and wish you success in your new position, all the best, and advancement!”

When Wu Aiguo heard Li Huaide's congratulations and saw the wine glasses raised by everyone, he smiled and thanked: "Director Li! Thank you for your blessings!"

Li Huaide heard Wu Aiguo's thanks, clinked the glasses with Wu Aiguo, and then said with a smile: "Director Wu! The feeling is deep, one mouthful is boring, the feeling is shallow, one lick, I have finished this glass of wine."

When Wu Aiguo heard Li Huaide's words of persuasion, he drank all the wine in the glass very simply, and then replied with a smile: "Director Li! Since you said so, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue drinking this glass of wine." , in this case, I will risk my life to accompany you tonight!"

When Li Huaide heard Wu Aiguo's words and saw Wu Aiguo drinking the wine very boldly, he immediately smiled and said to Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu is indeed a good cadre in the alcohol test!"

"Director Wu! I offer you this glass of wine. It's an honor to meet you!" Zhang Changrong, Li Huaide's cousin, waited for Wu Aiguo to put down his glass, and immediately poured Wu Aiguo a glass of wine, then raised his own glass and said Said to Wu Aiguo with a respectful face.

Hearing Zhang Changrong's words, Wu Aiguo picked up the wine glass, touched the wine glass in Zhang Changrong's hand lightly, and said with a smile: "Director Zhang! In a week at the latest, I will go to your factory to investigate with the people from the industrial department. , if you can seize this opportunity, your factory will become a major foreign exchange earner in Kyoto City in the next few years!"

When Zhang Changrong heard the news from Wu Aiguo, a shocked expression appeared on his face, and he quickly confirmed to Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! Is what you said true?"

"Changrong! Director Wu has always kept his word. Since he said so, it must be something like this. So tonight, you have to keep Director Wu company." Li Huaide heard this. Wu Aiguo believed deeply in what Zhang Changrong said. Before Wu Aiguo could answer, he immediately reminded Zhang Changrong.

Zhang Changrong heard Li Huaide's reminder and quickly thanked Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! Then, on behalf of our toy factory, thank you! I'll drink this glass of wine, you can do whatever you want!"

When Wu Aiguo heard Zhang Changrong's thanks and saw the other party downing the wine, he drank all the wine in his glass. He smiled and said to Zhang Changrong: "Director Zhang! You just have to be aware of this matter. Don’t tell anyone else just yet.”

"Director Wu! I toast you this glass of wine!" When Zhao Huichun saw Li Huaide helping Wu Aiguo fill up the wine, he immediately raised his glass and said enthusiastically to Wu Aiguo.

When Wu Aiguo heard Zhao Huichun's words, he immediately raised his glass and said with a smile: "Director Zhao! It's an honor to meet you!"

Just as Wu Aiguo, Li Huaide and others were sitting in the small dining hall of the rolling mill talking and laughing, Xu Damao finally returned to the courtyard by bicycle.

"Da Mao! Are you coming back from going to the countryside?" Yan Bugui, who was pouring vegetables at the gate of the compound, saw Xu Damao's handlebars covered with mountain goods, and immediately greeted Xu Damao enthusiastically.

When Xu Damao heard Yan Bugui's words, he immediately picked up a bunch of dried shiitake mushrooms and said to Yan Bugui, "Third Master! This is what the villagers gave me as a thank you when I went to the countryside to show a movie. I will send you a bunch of dried shiitake mushrooms to taste."

Yan Bugui saw the dried mushrooms handed over by Xu Damao, and quickly reached out to take it, and happily thanked Xu Damao: "Da Mao! The third uncle is here to thank you."

Hearing Yan Bugui's thanks, Xu Damao showed a complacent expression on his face, and while pushing the bicycle, he shouted in the direction of the East Wing: "Is Aunt Chen at home?"

Chen Shuying, who was in the kitchen, heard Xu Damao's shout from the courtyard. She quickly walked to the door of the east wing and asked Xu Damao curiously: "Da Mao! What's the matter with calling me?"
