Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 635 Liang Ladi

The three options all boil down to one word: "eat".

To be honest, Xu Damao could never have imagined that a "machine repair factory", especially a "machine repair factory for mutual assistance and cooperation" with a rural commune, a factory with nearly a thousand employees, would be unpopular.

Such a good and high-quality asset is at stake because of the problem of who will provide "food". My grandma doesn't care about me, my uncle doesn't love me, and I still have to complete my work steadily.

"According to my analysis, the Baoding General Factory has always been in charge of things here. Even if the two of you do nothing, the General Factory will just say some harsh words to you. It is impossible for them to ignore how many people you have to eat. The safest way is for you to keep your heart at ease and go back to the General Factory more often. Anyway, it is impossible for you to starve."

It is impossible for the machine repair factory to go without food. Now the supplies are delivered on time, and the people in the city of Beijing can save as much as possible.

"Director Xu, what you said makes sense. We thought so before. We didn't take anything the head office said seriously. But something happened recently. The supplies for this month were delivered a few days ago, and none of the eggs we had planned for were in stock."

"Not a single egg."

"We called and asked, and the main factory said that there will be no more eggs in the future, and the supply will be further reduced next year. They asked us to find a new leader in Sijiucheng. What do you think this means?"

"Then I called the Second Commercial Bureau, but they said they needed to understand the situation first. I learned about it for several days but still received no news until Director Xu called me today. Director Xu, you used to be the leader of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and now you are the director of the general office of the Sijiucheng Chicken Farm. I just want your help."

Xu Damao just thought this was a bit strange: "Do you want to use the third option?"

"This is the only reliable way. We can't rush to the Forbidden City. Baoding used to have some reputation, but now there is another Tianjin in front of us. Although we are very close to the Forbidden City and already belong to the Forbidden City, we feel miserable because the actual distance is very far and there is a big gap in between."

Fortunately, I didn’t ask Director Yang to make the call before, because the two factories are not very familiar with each other.

"How would you like me to help?"

"Director Xu, don't worry. It's just a small matter. You can take me to the steel mill. As long as we can meet Director Yang, you don't have to worry about the rest."

This was indeed a small matter. Even if it was not as much as the previous one, and he was just acting as an intermediary to introduce something, Xu Damao would not refuse.

"This is indeed a trivial matter. When are you going? Will you come back to Sijiu City with me later?"

Director Liu didn't expect Xu Damao to be such an impatient person and he would just leave without any hesitation.

"I drank a lot this afternoon, and I smell like alcohol. Let's wait until tomorrow... the day after tomorrow. I'll go to Sijiu City to find you the day after tomorrow, and then you can take us to the steel mill."

"it is good."

Xu Damao agreed readily.

Just introduce him. Whether it succeeds or not has nothing to do with him. As long as he has a good relationship with Factory Director Liu Feng, that will be enough.

Moreover, Director Liu is also a department-level leader. If he can really succeed in the negotiation and become a subsidiary of the steel rolling mill, his rank will at least be downgraded by half a level, which means he will just move from Baoding to Beijing.

Although the leaders of the Sijiu City will automatically be promoted half a level when they go out, if they are really demoted half a level, most people will really be reluctant to do so.

Even though it’s only half a level, if you persist, it will take at least three years.

"Actually... there is one more small thing."

Xu Damao:......

"Hmm? How else can I help?"

Director Liu tilted his head back and drank another glass. Even if he didn't drink much before, he had already drunk nearly half a pound.

"I'm really embarrassed to say this, Director Xu, would you mind walking around the factory with me first?"

What else could Xu Damao say? He couldn't refuse.

"Okay, then I'll take a look around. It's a good opportunity to learn about the experience of mutual assistance between workers and farmers."

And Xu Damao himself also wanted to go to the infirmary to take a look. He had already made up his mind that someone was wrong, but he had to find Ding Qiunan.

However, Xu Damao was determined to win.

After the three people walked out of the private room, Xu Damao realized that he had overthought. It was not a tour at all, nor did they go to the workshop or wander around the machine repair factory. Instead, they went straight to the cafeteria.

It was past lunchtime and there were no employees in the cafeteria except for a few cafeteria staff, both men and women.

At this time, they stood in a row. As soon as Xu Damao and the other three appeared, they immediately applauded and shouted slogans: "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."

This was obviously organized in advance, and Factory Director Liu Feng must have planned this project a long time ago.

Xu Damao looked through it and did not see Ding Qiunan or Nan Yi, but he saw Liang Ladi, who was clapping happily beside them. The smile on her face was truly sincere and not fake at all.

But Xu Damao knew that this was just to make up the numbers.

"Welcome Director Xu to come and inspect our work."

"Welcome Director Xu to the canteen of the machine repair factory."

Judging from his posture and style, he is obviously the canteen's little boss.

Xu Damao never puts on airs in front of employees. He quickly went up to shake their hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my friend. Why are you doing this? It's delaying everyone's work. Don't let me affect everyone's work."

Several people shook hands one by one.

"Old Liu, don't do this kind of thing. Formalism is unacceptable."

"Director Xu, we really welcome you and hope you can come more often. I promise that every time you come, I will stand here to welcome you. You can also go to the gate to welcome you. As long as you can come, please come more often."

Liang Ladi offered another flattery.

Xu Damao came to find Ding Qiunan and was not interested in this widow taking care of the baby.

"I'll definitely come here more often if I have the chance, but next time I can't do these fancy things, Lao Liu, don't you agree?"

It seemed that he was answering Liang Ladi, but he was actually talking to Director Liu.

This stuff isn't embarrassing enough.

Xu Damao didn't remember anything else, but he remembered one thing. Two years later, because of a pig, there were trucks, motorcycle tricycles, and so many people beating drums and gongs, making it such a lively scene. But when it came to his place, only a few people applauded and said a few words of welcome?
Not only is this worse than a pig, it even feels humiliating.

Director Xu is magnanimous and doesn't care about this little thing.

But this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen again.

Of course, there was also the reason that Xu Damao came suddenly. He called in the morning and came at noon.

If you prepare in advance... you will definitely be no match for the pig that is beating drums and gongs.

"Yes, yes, yes. The staff in the cafeteria heard that you were coming and they spontaneously organized to welcome you. The staff were so enthusiastic that it was hard to refuse. This is just a one-time thing. There will definitely not be a next time."

What spontaneous, what welcome, Xu Damao just needs to listen.

These people in front of him had never even heard of his name before today, and yet they were still so spontaneous.

Xu Damao doesn't think his face is big and white.
