Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 608 Returning home in glory
When Xu Damao got off the car, he inexplicably felt like returning home in glory.

"Chief Xu, it's been a while since we last met."

"Chief Xu, you came here today without informing me in advance. I should have prepared well."

As soon as I walked into the gate of the steel mill, seven or eight people came to greet me.

From the guards at the door to the workers and managers of the steel mill, everyone greeted us with a smile.

When Section Chief Ma heard the noise, he came out of the house, and Xu Damao also took the initiative to step forward and say hello.

This person had helped him a lot in the past.

"Section Chief Ma, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your living standard has improved. It's obvious that you have gained weight."

"Is it so obvious? I've only gained 10 to 20 pounds. It's all thanks to the free eggs you arranged. I have free eggs every day, so it's hard not to gain weight."

It is a foregone conclusion that steel mill workers will get one egg every two days.

In addition, there is the steel rolling mill’s own breeding group, and the eggs laid by the hens are also distributed.

To whom it will be distributed...of course it depends on who has made the greatest contribution.

Of course, the factory leaders made the greatest contribution.

As the head of the security department, Chief Ma has always worked hard and made great contributions, so of course he has made his share.

"You've hit the nail on the head. I came here today to see the old hens raised by the breeding group. You may not know that the chickens in some places have started to get sick recently. They are either fed antibiotics or sterilized and raised in the wild. In some places, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat eggs in the next few months."

This is not an exaggeration. It takes at least five months for a hen to hatch and lay eggs.

"Then this matter is quite serious. I will go with you to take a look."

Now Xu Damao's nominal job is to be in charge of all the chicken farms in Sijiu City. Theoretically, the hundreds of chickens in the steel rolling mill should also be under his charge, but that's not how things work. Before, when Xu Damao was in charge of the breeding group at the steel rolling mill, the Second Light Industry Bureau and the Second Commercial Bureau came several times, but they still failed to take the hundreds of chickens in the breeding group away from him, right?
They couldn’t do it before, and now Xu Damao can’t do it either.

"That's great. To be honest, when I was at the door just now, I was worried that the two security officers at the door would stop me from coming in."

"Those two brats smoked so many of your cigarettes. If they dare to stop you, I'll kick their asses."

Xu Damao left two boxes of peonies unnoticed before heading towards the breeding group with Section Chief Ma.

Just like at the gate, whenever someone sees Xu Damao on the street, they will greet him enthusiastically. What Xu Damao has done has brought real benefits to the steel rolling mill and its affiliated factories.

Even if Xu Damao didn't respond one by one, he would still smile.

"I wish I could have such prestige in the steel mill. Damao, you don't know. They would just stand at the door and yell at me. There would be no respect at all."

"That's their problem. Chief Ma, you are responsible for the safety of the entire steel mill, including the surrounding streets and alleys. They are all within the patrol range. Now it's a mess outside. You should be thanked for what you have been doing."

"I have discovered that Director Yang is the king of the steel rolling mill."

Although it is just one sentence, it contains a lot of meaning.

On the surface, he was praising Director Yang, but in reality, he was saying that if Director Yang didn't leave, Deputy Director Li couldn't move up, and he would be nailed to the Security Department for the rest of his life. The situation outside was not optimistic, and Director Ma might have been speaking from his heart, but this incident really made him see it. The deeper meaning was to remind Xu Damao not to forget his business.

Speaking of which, Xu Damao hasn't been to the steel rolling mill for several months. Anyone would be anxious about the good things he had promised before.

"You have to eat one bite at a time, and do things one by one. You can't get fat in one bite, and you can't build a city in one day. Take your time."

The two men talked as they walked and did not go to see Director Yang, but Director Yang came over on his own initiative.

It should be the security officer who went to announce the news, which inevitably led to a round of greetings.

"Chickens are sick in some places? This is a big deal. I will immediately apply for a batch of quicklime and antibiotics. The breeding group in the steel mill cannot have any problems."

At this moment, we have arrived at the breeding group office.

The office was empty, and Liu Lan was found in the breeding factory at the back.

At this time, she was collecting eggs from the chicken coop with two other people.

Before Xu Damao could speak, Director Yang asked anxiously, "Team Leader Liu, how is the sick hen?"

Team leader Liu is Liu Lan.

"The current situation is the same as the previous two days. Some chickens have not laid eggs for several days. They eat very little, drink water more often, and are listless. There are currently no signs of death. It seems to be under control. We need to observe them for a few more days."

"Da Mao has brought good news about this matter. There is a high probability that the free-range animals will heal on their own. Antibiotics can also be used for treatment. If we apply for a batch of white lime for disinfection and sterilization, they will be able to recover soon."

Regardless of whether the chickens are sick or have fowl plague, as long as these chickens die, someone must stand up and take responsibility.

This is inevitable, and it is understandable that Liu Lan is so sad.

"That's good. I'm worried every day that these chickens will suddenly die of illness."

Xu Damao felt a little embarrassed for not informing Liu Lan of the news immediately, causing her to worry for two more days.

And judging from Director Yang's tone, he seemed to have known that the chickens were sick before.

"Da Mao, there shouldn't be any problems with the chicken farms you manage, right? If the supply can't keep up, tell me in advance, and then we can hold a meeting together to explain to the employees. It's only a shortfall of ten days or half a month, and the employees should understand."

Even Director Yang, who is a straightforward person, has started to take roundabout approaches.

To be honest, Xu Damao felt that Director Yang's behavior was a bit awkward. Xu Damao was grateful from the bottom of his heart for the initial favor, as well as Chief Ma's help all the time, which he kept in mind.

Those chickens in the steel mill are not that important; the supply of a free egg every two days is what is important.

"Director Yang, I'm not in charge of the chicken farm recently. To be honest, I'm just a figurehead. Luo Yongxin has always been in charge. If the supply has been normal in the past two days and he hasn't come to say hello, it means that everything over there is under control, and even the reduction in production is within an acceptable range."

"That's good, Damao. Don't leave at noon today. You finally came back. Stay for lunch. I think you haven't tasted Shazhu's cooking for a long time, right? Especially his chicken stewed with mushrooms. I've never tasted such delicious chicken stewed with mushrooms anywhere else."
