Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 824 Dedication
"We need to streamline and simplify our workforce and merge institutions to establish a more efficient and effective way of working."

The original budget was 800 million, but it was increased by another 200 million after the conference.

There are more announcements like this on the radio.

That’s ten million.

Where do the extra personnel come from?

The number of heavy industry factory units cannot be reduced any further and they can only be eliminated from administrative units.

In fact, careful study will reveal that the food distribution at that time was actually very reasonable. Workers doing manual labor received more than 30 kilograms of food per month.

But mental labor only loses about twenty kilograms a month.

There are even fewer students.

Of the 7 million people, one-seventieth, plus the million last year, that means three-seventieths of the population have returned from cities to rural areas.

Such a huge workload involved so many people, but no one objected and there was no trouble. Everyone completed the task step by step after receiving the notice.

Everyone holds the collective spirit of "building our home" and "giving up our own family for the sake of everyone".

"We firmly oppose the amendments and must move forward unwaveringly. We must maintain our attitude and not give up halfway in helping our brother units. The difficulties are only temporary and we will definitely survive this short difficult period."

When Xu Damao heard this, he reached out and turned off the radio.

He got angry when he heard this.

For the sake of good neighborliness and friendly coexistence among brother units, I would rather my own family not have enough to eat than not help the brother units.

The question is, do those brother units really treat us as brothers?
They say it's for the company's philosophy and image, but behind their backs people say they're just stupid and have a lot of money.

It's simply throwing meat buns at a dog.

At this time, Li Tianjiao just came in: "What's wrong with you? Who provokes you so early in the morning?"

"No one is provoking me, I just feel aggrieved. Now that we are at odds with our neighbors, we shouldn't sacrifice our welfare... Forget it, there is nothing we can do about it. If we don't win them over, we will really be isolated and helpless during this period of time."

Li Tianjiao turned on the radio and listened to the news again.

I also understood what Xu Damao meant.

"The second thing is, if a senior leader submitted a proposal and was criticized, you should not get involved. This is done to build good relations with neighbors and is a necessary expense."

Xu Damao sighed and stopped talking.

What Team Leader Li said is indeed correct and makes sense.

It’s not that no one has noticed this problem. Some people have noticed it and some have raised it. The problem is that the timing is not right.

Consider the neighborhood environment. Having just broken up with Big Brother, you are now eager to draw a clear line with your previous brother units, which may easily cause dislike.

Big Brother is behind all those assistance agreements.

It is indeed not a good idea to start cutting now.

What this means is that no matter how we educate the masses, when it comes to the level of unit leaders, we certainly cannot fall out.

At least we have to maintain surface peace.

Of course, the assistance contract signed with Big Brother before must be fulfilled. Not only must it be fulfilled, but it must be fulfilled better and more fully, and additional provisions must be made.

This is the attitude.

As I said, there are a lot of smart people in the unit, and this is where smart people gather.

Ask, what are the smartest people in a place doing?
They are all studying, taking exams, and wanting to become officials.

People try their best to become officials.

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, instituted the imperial examination system and once said, "All heroes in the world are in this pot." Since then, the smartest people have always been figuring out how to get admitted.

So it would be a joke for someone who fails the exam to say that everyone inside is a fool and has no brains.

"How's Yu Haitang doing?"

"Everything is ready. Let's pack light. Today is Sunday. Take your camera and go out with Qin Jingru, He Yushui, and Ding Qiunan to take some pictures as souvenirs."

"I came back specifically to ask you to come over and take a couple of pictures together."

Xu Damao doesn't like taking photos. This habit stems from his lack of confidence in his appearance. Although he has become more handsome now, he still keeps the habit.

"Forget it, if you want to take more pictures, then take more. I won't go over."

Since Xu Damao was not going, Li Tianjiao simply didn't go out either, and sat next to Xu Damao.

"What on earth is going on in your head? It's hard to imagine that you graduated from junior high school."

Xu Damao picked up a book from the table and waved it in front of Li Tianjiao: "Books are full of beauties. Education is not everything. As long as you are willing to learn, the things you want to understand are actually very simple. We are not scientists, and we cannot think of complex problems in our minds. If we solve all the problems we can think of, our knowledge will naturally improve."

"And I repeat, I did have a junior high school education before, but now I am a full-time college student at Capital University, and I have passed the final exam. The books I read now are far beyond the scope of a college student. In terms of economics, if you count according to academic qualifications, I am now at least a doctorate."

This is the confidence of having the "ability to learn".

As long as you read one article, the knowledge in the book will automatically enter your brain.

"The book says that smart people like you should have a big head, but you look pretty normal."

"I'm normal."

The two were chatting when Yu Haitang ran into the room with a camera: "Brother Damao, come and take a photo with me. I'm leaving for a while. Don't you want to leave a memory?"

Xu Damao looked at the photos on the cabinet and had no choice but to get up.

Now when Yu Haitang speaks, Xu Damao will most likely not refuse.

"Okay, let's take pictures. Let's not take pictures here, let's go outside. It's a good season with lush grass and singing birds. This weather is perfect for flying two kites."

In the end, because there was no kite, the idea of ​​flying a kite had to be put on hold.

It is obviously too late to make a kite now.

Qin Huairu can not only make clothes, but also make kites. It's a pity that fewer and fewer people know this skill.

If kites could be bought, no one would make them, and the craft would of course be lost.

If you only buy clothes in department stores, then you don’t have to make clothes. You just need to master needle and thread to sew clothes.

Life is becoming more and more convenient, and there are fewer and fewer things that need to be done by hand.

This is progress.

Xu Damao became a ruthless posing machine.

"Smile."

"Don't keep such a stiff expression on your face."

"Yes, yes, yes, raise your hands a little higher."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, not only Yu Haitang, but also Qin Jingru and Ran Qiuye took a lot of photos together.

Even Ding Qiunan was in high spirits.

She had only taken headshots in photo studios before, and this was her first time to take photos freely with a camera.

He even took the initiative to put his arm around Xu Damao.

Xu Damao has tried his best to stay away from her, but unfortunately there are still a few photos of him hugging her waist and linking her arms.

It is hard to imagine what consequences would result if such photos were to be spread.

"Some of these are too intimate, delete them."

"It was so hard to take these photos. I just need to put them in a safe place so no one finds them."

Except for Xu Damao, they were all quite satisfied.

"You won't say a word?"

Li Tianjiao looked at the photo of them arm in arm and said, "It's a good photo. If we have a chance, we can go take photos alone."

It’s not popular to hold wedding banquets nowadays, let alone wedding photos.

But this idea has been around for a long time.
