Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 788: Right and Wrong, Merits and Demerits, Comments from Later Generations

"Why shouldn't I know? No one has ever told me about this."

"I have already sent a letter to the Finance Group. If you don't know, Team Leader Li may have rejected it for you. You may not know that it is said that Team Leader Li treats you as his own son and thinks very highly of you. You two don't look alike at all. In my opinion, it's unlikely that you are illegitimate children."

Xu Damao was really confused. Did he really refuse?

The talk of an illegitimate child is complete nonsense. His identity is clean and there is no problem at all.

Then why not send it to the general office of the chicken farm? Why send it to the finance and economics team?
He quickly handed over a cigarette and said, "Hey...old man, what's your name and which unit do you work for? How do you know so much? Since you're the director of the chicken farm, why don't you send it to the general office of the chicken farm?"

The square-faced man accepted the cigarette and put it into the cigarette box openly. The cigarette box looked like an old drama, it looked so cautious that it looked like it would fall apart if touched. It was an economical cigarette box that ordinary workers smoked, which was the cheapest one and did not match his status at all.

This cigarette box was taken out either for show or for some other reason.

It's not about whether he made extra money or not, but the nature of his job was that the special supply he received every month, if he changed to a lower-end one and added cigarette coupons, he wouldn't be able to smoke the "economical" ones that could be sold loose at the agency stores.

The cheapest 'economy' is very cheap, and the agency stores sell them in bulk on a daily basis. Huazi and Mudan are more expensive, so they are sold less in bulk.

The main point of putting loose cigarettes into a cigarette box is to feel calm.

The calmness unique to this era.

No matter where or what the occasion, you have to pack up your food after eating. Don't forget to take out the leftovers, and don't throw away the leftover drinks. They can be reused. This was the case in restaurants in the past.

When leftovers are cooked in a pot, the smell is very sour and refreshing, and it has different names in different places.

It’s different with wine. If it is packaged together, the price will be cheaper and many people will be willing to buy it.

There are usually no cigarettes left, and if there are occasionally one or two, they disappear immediately.

In order to hear more inside information, Xu Damao took out a box of Huazi from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.

The square-faced man glanced at Xu Damao and did not refuse.

"People say that those in charge of the economy have plenty of money, but I would say that those of you in charge of production have plenty of money, especially those who manage food. The Second Commercial Bureau and the Second Light Industry Bureau are all well fed. Today I want to experience what it's like to be a big boss."

The packet of cigarettes seemed to bloom in his eyes. He looked at it over and over again before putting it in his pocket.

"My last name is Han, Han Xiaowu. I used to be the fifth child in my family. Later, by chance, I followed the leader closely, so I changed my name to Wu, which means "martial arts". I am currently working in the General Office. The host of today's meeting is my direct leader. I am only responsible to him. I say I am an orderly, but in fact, I do whatever the leader tells me to do."

This name is like the difference between a full name and a nickname. People with little education would be named according to their order of birth. Some people only get a formal name when they are in their eighties or nineties and go to school.

This is also the tradition of ordinary families. Because the survival rate of children was generally not high in the past, they would give them a nickname so that they could be raised easily. The humbler and tougher the name, the better. Or they would simply not give them a name. Girls would be called "Xiao Nan Nan" and boys would be called "Xiao Ya".

"Brother Han, I am confused now. What is going on?"

"You should ask Team Leader Li about this matter. As for why it was sent to the Finance Team, of course everyone knows that you work there. You should know how long it has been since you last went to the chicken farm."

"I understand." Xu Damao waited at the door until Team Leader Li came out after dinner, and then he hurriedly followed him.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Xu Damao asked his own question: "I just met the serviceman from the General Office of Sijiu City, and he said I have to attend a meeting tomorrow..."

"Oh, you are talking about the meetings of several business bureaus tomorrow, right? I didn't intend to tell you, but now that you know, I'll tell you a few words. You don't have to attend any more meetings. I've already declined for you. You don't have to attend any more meetings or give any speeches. You've already made enough of a splash, so you need to keep a low profile."

"Will you blame me in your heart for making the decision for you?"

"No, no, I'm so happy. Whoever wants to do the report can do it."

"That's right. You've been in the national newspapers. You've already made a name for yourself. Now that everyone knows you, there's no need to keep being so high-profile. This is for your own good."

"And your girlfriend... she has already asked me. Do you think you can arrange a job for her in the finance team or get her a temporary family pass?"

Deep down, Xu Damao really wanted Li Tianjiao to work with him, at least to make things easier for him.

But the actual situation is that Team Leader Li has already refused.

Could he have any other answer?

Obviously not.

"I don't think it's necessary. The documents we deal with on a daily basis are all confidential, so the less people know, the better."

"It's good that you know this. It's just like the saying 'many hands make light work'. I just realized it too late. Now I'm still working every day. If it's a little later, I'm afraid I'll have to go back home."

After Team Leader Li and those people came out of the meal, they talked obviously more. Although Team Leader Li often talked a lot with Xu Damao in private before, it was definitely not as much as today. At such a close distance, Xu Damao could also smell the alcohol on him.

The few of them had obviously had a few drinks and must have talked about some undisclosed news.

"You are the backbone of the city. How can we do without you in Sijiu City?"

"Then you are wrong. In this world, no matter which unit or organization, no one will be a problem without them. As a person, don't take yourself too seriously. Life will go on even if you die. No one is irreplaceable."

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but Team Leader Li’s eyes became noticeably deeper.

"If I have to name one person who is indispensable, it would be that one..."

The afternoon meeting continued as usual, and the overall direction shifted from self-criticism to future development.

Xu Damao finally came to his senses and realized that his thoughts in the morning were wrong.

First carry out criticism and self-criticism, summarize experience and then confirm the future development direction.

This is the significance of this conference.
