Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 807 Xu Damao gets promoted!
After Wu Aiguo went home and said hello, he drove to the door of the steel mill's canteen.

"Director Wu! Welcome to our steel rolling mill!" When Li Huaide saw Wu Aiguo coming, he immediately came out from the canteen and greeted Wu Aiguo warmly.

When Wu Aiguo saw Li Huaide and others coming out of the canteen, he immediately walked up to him, shook hands with Li Huaide enthusiastically, and congratulated him with a smile: "Director Li! Congratulations on becoming the director of the G Committee of the Steel Rolling Mill! I wish you good work and all the best in your new position!"

When Li Huaide heard Wu Aiguo's blessing and thought of the news that Wu Aiguo's wife had given birth, he did not forget to congratulate Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! I heard that your lover gave birth to a daughter for you a few days ago. I am here to congratulate you, brother, for finally having a good child!"

When Wu Aiguo heard Li Huaide's congratulations, he thought of his newborn daughter and a happy smile appeared on his face. He replied with a smile: "Director Li! Let's celebrate together! Let's celebrate together!"

When Li Huaide heard Wu Aiguo's answer, he immediately smiled and said, "Director Wu! Just for what you said, we must have a few drinks tonight."

Accompanied by Li Huaide, Wu Aiguo soon arrived at the private room of the canteen. There, he met a person who surprised but also expected him, Xu Damao.

Seeing Xu Damao standing in the box, Wu Aiguo greeted Xu Damao with a surprised look on his face: "Damo! Why are you here too?"

When Li Huaide heard the question Wu Aiguo asked Xu Damao, he smiled and introduced him to Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! Comrade Damao! He is now the head of the Cultural Section of our factory's Propaganda Department. I heard that you and he are neighbors living in the same compound, so I asked Damao to come over to drink with us."

Although Xu Damao was an egoist, he was able to be promoted from a projectionist to a section chief entirely because of Wu Aiguo.

When Xu Damao heard what Li Huaide had introduced to Wu Aiguo, he immediately expressed his loyalty to Li Huaide and said, "Director Li! Thanks to your appreciation, I am where I am today. From now on, I, Xu Damao, will be your soldier. I will fight wherever you direct me!"

Xu Damao's expression of loyalty made Li Huaide very satisfied. He said against his will: "Da Mao! We are all serving the people, not forming cliques!"

When Xu Damao heard Li Huaide's reminder, he quickly admitted his mistake and said, "Director Li! You are right. I promise I will never make the same mistake again."

After everyone was seated, Liu Lan walked into the box with the dishes. When Xu Damao saw the dishes were served, he immediately opened the glass of wine on the table, first poured a glass for Li Huaide, and then poured another glass for Wu Aiguo.

After Xu Damao poured wine for everyone present, he raised the glass in front of him and said loudly: "Director Li! Aiguo! Dear leaders, it is my great honor to be able to sit together and drink with you today. I toast to you all!"

Having said this, Xu Damao drank the wine in the glass without caring whether the leaders agreed or not!

After Xu Damao finished drinking, he picked up the bottle and poured himself a glass of wine while saying, "Dear leaders! I, Xu Damao, have a rule for drinking: one big and three small, everything is the same!"

Li Huaide was surprised when he heard what Xu Damao said. He smiled and asked Xu Damao, "Da Mao! What do you mean by this, you have one big guy and three small guys?"

Seeing Li Huaide asking about his drinking rules, Xu Damao became even more excited and quickly introduced to Li Huaide: "Director Li! My drinking rules are, if the leader drinks one cup, I drink three cups, if the leader drinks three cups, I drink nine cups. It's good if the leader drinks well. If the leader doesn't drink well, we will make him drink well!"

The leaders of the steel rolling mill who were present drank with Xu Damao for the first time. When they heard Xu Damao's jingle, they instinctively thought that Xu Damao had a very good alcohol tolerance.

Wu Aiguo, who was sitting next to Li Huaide, heard Xu Damao's drinking rhyme and remembered the plot in which Xu Damao would get drunk and lie under the table every time he drank. There was even a scene in the plot where Xu Damao was stripped naked and tied to a stool in the cafeteria by Sha Zhu after getting drunk because of stealing a chicken.

Wu Aiguo saw Xu Damao shouting slogans so loudly that the leaders of the steel mill were stunned. He was stunned and did not intend to expose Xu Damao's true alcohol tolerance. He smiled and raised the wine glass in front of him and said to Liang Dehua who was sitting next to him: "Director Li! This glass of wine is for you. Thank you for your hospitality today."

When Li Huaide heard Wu Aiguo's words and saw the glass Wu Aiguo raised, he quickly raised his own glass. Thinking of the time when he had just been transferred to the steel rolling mill, Li Huaide said to Wu Aiguo with gratitude: "Director Wu! Time flies. In the blink of an eye, we have known each other for almost seven or eight years!"

"When I was first transferred to the steel mill, supplies were scarce. Without your support, I would not have been able to gain a foothold in the steel mill, let alone step by step from the director of logistics to the position I am today. So this glass of wine should be toasted to you!"

When Wu Aiguo heard what Li Huaide said, he thought of the little things he had known Li Huaide for, and couldn't help but sighed: "Director Li! You are right, time flies. In the blink of an eye, we have known each other for seven or eight years."

"It's fate that we know each other, so with this glass of wine, I wish you success in your new position, like the rising sun, like the constant moon, and a successful career." After hearing Wu Aiguo's words, Li Huaide quickly clinked his glass with the glass in Wu Aiguo's hand and said to Wu Aiguo happily, "Director Wu! Thank you for your blessing!"

"Director Li! Aiguo! You two leaders are toasting, we can't just stay silent. I'll drink three glasses with you!" When Xu Damao saw Li Huaide and Wu Aiguo, in order to show his good face in front of Li Huaide, he quickly raised his glass and asked to drink with them.

Everyone in the box, seeing Xu Damao drinking three cups in a row very generously, thought that they had met the god of wine today. They thought that if there were guests in the future, they would ask Xu Damao to accompany them for drinks.

After three glasses of wine, Xu Damao's cheeks immediately turned red.

Wu Aiguo looked at Xu Damao's performance and thought about Xu Damao's real alcohol tolerance. He reminded Xu Damao, "Damo! Don't drink so quickly. Eat something first to fill your stomach!"

Xu Damao, who wanted to show off in front of Li Huaide, showed an indifferent expression on his face when he heard Wu Aiguo's kind reminder. He said to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! The leaders can let me, Xu Damao, come here to eat. It means that they think highly of me, Xu Damao. Today I must accompany all the leaders well."

As Xu Damao spoke, he picked up the wine bottle, poured himself a glass of wine, and toasted the leaders present. The result can be imagined. After Xu Damao finished a round of toasts, his body swayed unconsciously, and then with a "clang", he fell directly under the table.

The leaders of the steel mill who were present were surprised to see Xu Damao lying under the table. One of them even said with a smile, "Director Li! I thought Xu Damao could drink a lot, so I asked him to accompany guests for drinks. But I didn't expect that he would lie under the table after just a few drinks."

Although no one present drank many glasses of wine, Xu Damao drank about 20 to 30 glasses. Calculating based on one glass for one ounce of liquor, Xu Damao had already drunk about two or three kilograms of liquor, and this was without eating anything and he continued drinking.

When Li Huaide heard the middle-aged man's words and thought of Xu Damao's performance just now, he smiled and ordered the middle-aged man: "Xiao Guo! Although Comrade Xu Damao has drunk a lot, the intensity of his drinking is definitely serious. Go to the security department and call two people to help Xu Damao out to rest!"

When Wu Aiguo heard what Li Huaide said to the middle-aged man, he quickly said to Li Huaide: "Director Li! Damao and I live in the same compound. Please arrange for someone to send him to the next room to sleep for a while. When I go back later, I will take Xu Damao back with me."

Li Huaide nodded in agreement when he heard Wu Aiguo's suggestion, and quickly ordered the two subordinates in the box: "Xiao Guo! Jianzhong! The two of you carry Xu Damao to the next box together, and when Director Wu returns later, ask Director Wu to send Xu Damao back."

Xu Damao's drunkenness did not affect the evening's drinking party. Because Wu Aiguo was the guest, he became the object of everyone's toast. Fortunately, Wu Aiguo had the cheating artifact, the small world. When the drinking party was over, three more people in the box fell to the ground due to drunkenness.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Wu Aiguo drove Xu Damao back to the courtyard.

At this time, because the TV station had stopped broadcasting, the residents in the courtyard had all gone home to sleep.

Wu Aiguo supported the drunk Xu Damao and came to the backyard. He saw the closed door of Xu Damao's house. He didn't know what was going on, and he remembered what happened at Xu Damao's house last time.

Thinking of the accident that night, Wu Aiguo's face showed a complicated expression, and he shouted softly to the house: "Xiaoxue! Your Damao is drunk, open the door quickly."

After the last accidental relationship with Wu Aiguo, Han Xiaoxue deliberately avoided Wu Aiguo. Han Xiaoxue, who was leaning on the bed knitting a sweater, heard Wu Aiguo's shouting outside the house, and a panic expression immediately appeared on her face. It was not until she learned that Xu Damao was drunk that she put on her coat and walked out of the inner room.

When Han Xiaoxue opened the door, she was immediately hit by the stench of alcohol. When she saw Xu Damao leaning against Wu Aiguo and already unconscious, she simply ignored the embarrassment of seeing Wu Aiguo again, and reached out to cover her nose, asking with disgust, "Where did this Xu Damao drink, and how did he get so drunk?"

After hearing what Han Xiaoxue said, Wu Aiguo helped Xu Damao into the house and introduced him, "Director Li of the steel mill invited me to dinner tonight, and Xu Damao was asked to accompany him. He probably wanted to show off in front of his boss, so he got drunk!"

After watching Wu Aiguo help Xu Damao to the bedroom, Han Xueli assisted Wu Aiguo and lifted Xu Damao onto the bed. Then she thanked Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! Thank you!"

When Wu Aiguo heard Han Xiaoxue's thanks, he looked at Han Xiaoxue in her pajamas and thought about what happened. He replied with an embarrassed look on his face: "It's okay! We are all neighbors living in the same yard. It's just a small favor!"
