Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 14: Show determination and get direct leadership

The two big guys exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Xu Damao didn't feel embarrassed at all while standing aside.

"Da Mao is a good comrade and a good seedling. Deputy Factory Director Li, you should be very clear about what the logistics will be like next year. We need to prepare for some things in advance."

Deputy Director Li didn't react for a moment. Next year will be a little tougher, but he can still survive by tightening his belt. This is the top priority in the factory. What does it have to do with a movie projectionist?
"Da Mao is indeed a good comrade."

If you don’t understand, just agree and don’t express your opinions easily.

"Next year, there will even be a shortage of second-generation staple food rations in the factory, not to mention meat and eggs. What I mean by making preparations in advance is the 'unplanned distribution of materials'. Those unplanned materials can also be used for us if we can get them back." The factory can solve some of the difficulties.”

The two people discussed this issue for a long time, holding high the position, until finally Director Yang said: "So, in order to entertain, we must get something good. We have to have what others don't have, and we have to have what others have." There should be more.”

Only then did Xu Damao finally understand. The high level was for solving actual problems in the factory. The low level meant that it was very difficult now. He had to get some good stuff to entertain the heads of the supply and marketing cooperatives. Can he buy it? Unplanned supplies depend on those people.

"There are still many good things in the village and mountains. We should prepare in advance and have a good basic plan."

Deputy Director Li also understood that this was to promote Xu Damao, and it was an exceptional promotion.

The normal situation is that someone retires, the position becomes vacant, and new people are recruited. The quota is available first and then the new people are recruited.

The abnormal situation is like this now. First there are people, and then a position is created.

It is a special recruitment.

The main reason is that what Director Yang said makes sense. There is indeed a need for such a purchasing position now. Otherwise, by next year, the small canteen will really exist in name only. No big factory will provide less entertainment every year. It’s okay in a good year, and it can be spread out. One thing, if the year is bad, the supplies won’t last for a month.

The factory can only find a solution on its own.

And this is what the factory came up with.

"I think Comrade Xu Damao is fully qualified for this new challenge. He often goes to the countryside to show movies and is familiar with the people below. It should be easy to get some good stuff back."

'Bear paws' are also a fun thing, and of course, the same goes for pandas. At this time, no one is nobler than anyone else.

There is nothing to protect the animals, only emergency food and ingredients.

Since Xu Damao was one of his own, Deputy Director Li just made a smooth favor.

"That's what I've thought about. This is included in the plan first. Xu Damao will still be in the Publicity Department and will not be transferred. Then he will work part-time as a buyer, two jobs for one person..."

"Da Mao is a good comrade. I suggest that he be raised in rank and treat the seedlings well. We have to deal with special matters."

Another sentence that sets the tone.

"Director, I will definitely work hard to contribute to the steel rolling mill, and I will definitely ensure the reception task of the canteen!"

After Xu Damao repeatedly expressed his determination, he finally left the factory director's office.

If you don't say something when you should say it, and shut up when you should express your feelings, then you will have no chance to say it in the future.

Even this development is a bit too fantasy.

He just wants to make progress, now give him a pillow?
The buyer is a temporary job, and the main job is still a projectionist. He can only receive one salary. First, raise the rank. If the buyer does not do well, he can resign at any time in the future, and the upgraded rank will not be returned.

The factory director didn't say whether he could be promoted or downgraded. As for how many levels he would be promoted to, the factory director didn't say, but his tone as the factory director definitely meant he wouldn't be treated badly.

Things are starting to look good.

Back at the Publicity Section, Section Chief Xiao has been waiting for a long time.

He has really disliked Xu Damao for a long time, but Xu Damao has a close relationship with Deputy Factory Director Li and has been unable to move, so he has been blowing the wind with the factory director. It would be best to get Xu Damao into the workshop. , don’t be an eyesore in front of him.

Today I was finally called away by Factory Director Yang. I thought it was a good thing, but Xu Damao came back again.

This guy is really evil.

Xu Damao knew clearly what he had done before. Even if he refused to buy cigarettes for the leader, he dared to take the leader's cigarettes in return.

Now the relationship must be eased.

We must talk about unity and make many friends and few enemies. This will work.

Section Chief Xiao allowed Xu Damao to light his cigarette with confusion in his eyes.This guy started acting weird last week, and now he's getting more and more evil.

"Hey Xu Damao, I'm going to smoke Peony and you're going to smoke Huazi, right?"

"That can't be said. The peonies the section chief smoked were allocated to you by the state, and the peonies I smoked were bought with money. This is different. I would like to switch with you and try the section chief's Special offer of peonies.”

"Change and change."

Without saying a word, Section Chief Xiao opened the drawer and took out a special peony. He only got two of these peonies a month.

Today he insisted on seeing what Xu Damao was doing.

The problem is that Xu Damao can't spare a cent now.

With a sudden thought, he took out a big black ten from his pocket and placed it on the table.

A peony was just held in my arms.

Section Chief Xiao was stunned.

This kid doesn't play by the rules.

If he accepts the Big Black Ten, it will be a waste of speculation.

The table clapped loudly: "Xu Damao, what's going on with you kid? What do you want to do?"

The orderly outside heard the commotion and knocked on the door to come in.

"Xiao Wang, it's okay. You can go about your business."

The orderly was sent away before he came in. Hey, this is interesting.

Xu Damao was clear about this matter.

"Section Chief, I don't have Huazi, I only have this one. Do you want it or not? If you don't want Peony, I won't quit."

Xu Damao's voice became softer, and Section Chief Xiao's also lowered his voice.

"Xu Damao, don't go too far, kid."

"Chief Xiao, the price of this special offer has doubled in the pigeon market..."

The two men lowered their heads and muttered.

Finally, Section Chief Xiao brought two more special peonies to Xu Damao.

"It's mainly because I'm having a hard time, brother. Your sister-in-law is about to give birth to her third child and she lacks nutrients."

"I don't smoke anymore. I just want to take good care of your sister-in-law's health. It's a bad year now..."

"Don't worry, Chief Xiao. I'll give you a free-range chicken in two days. It's great for making soup and laying eggs."

The two people quickly concluded their discussion.

Section Chief Xiao was filled with emotion. He had misjudged Xu Damao. Such a good comrade should have actively fought for him from the beginning. If not, he had to go to Factory Director Yang to report his work.

Xu Damao's image must be changed in the factory director's mind.

Xu Damao only found it interesting after hearing this.

There were quite a few Xu Damao before him, and they were also clever, but as a result, they just didn’t know how to build a good relationship with their immediate leaders, otherwise it would have been impossible for them to be able to get along in the next ten years or so.

It didn't take much effort. A big black ten, an old hen, and a few more compliments turned the direct leader into one of my own.

They are all on the same side and share weal and woe. If nothing else, if you say more good things, there is still a good chance of getting promoted.

　I want to know how many people there are
