Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 908 Mist
You're speaking so politely, you must go into the house.

Xu Damao stepped aside, let the person in, and then closed the door.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I'm still confused. Everything should have a reason. I didn't expect it to take so long."

As Xu Damao spoke, he took out the washed cups and put them away, then poured three cups of tea from the teapot.

To be honest, if there were no restrictions on freedom here, it would be a nice place to vacation if we could bring all the people from the courtyard here.

The staff here who are responsible for food, clothing and daily life are really serious and responsible.

Two staff members sat upright opposite Xu Damao, pushed aside the two cups of tea in front of them expressionlessly, took out their notebooks and spread them on the table.

"Comrade Xu Damao, don't be nervous. We are just here to understand the situation. If you know something, just answer. If you don't know, just say you don't know."

He said not to be nervous, but his face was expressionless and his tone was serious, and he didn't look nervous at all.

Xu Damao even suspected that there was a camera behind him, recording every move here.

Of course, this possibility is very small, Xu Damao had already checked every corner of the building.

The main reason is that these two people are too serious. According to normal organizational department conversations, they usually talk behind closed doors and talk about their own affairs. They will first reveal the bottom line and then the process.

Anyway, it won’t be like it is now.

He closed the door on purpose.

Xu Damao could only correct his attitude, sit up straight, and signal them that they could ask questions.

"Excuse me, Comrade Xu Damao, what is your relationship with Comrade Cui Dake?"

Xu Damao:? ? ?

The first question made Xu Damao a little confused. He thought about many things, such as Xiang Jiang’s identity, relationships between men and women, feudal superstitions, and even thought that Team Leader Li had betrayed him, but he never expected that the entry point would be Brother Cui.

Although that guy often causes trouble, he had long been told to keep a low profile in the city and had become much more honest. I didn't expect that he would cause such a big trouble.

"We were friends, colleagues, and friends. Because I taught him how to project movies and made him a projectionist at the steel mill, he would sometimes call me 'Master'. I never agreed. We were always friends from the beginning to the end."

There were two people in front of me, one holding a notebook and asking questions, and the other holding a pen and taking notes.

The only sounds in the entire living room were the sound of the pen refill rubbing against paper and the sound of the second hand of the clock on the table ticking.

After the other record was completed, he continued to ask: "Why did you choose Comrade Cui Dake from among the many reserve candidates?"

Xu Damao:......

"I just picked him randomly because I liked the name."

"So you didn't know Comrade Cui Dake before?"

“I didn’t know him before.”

"Then why didn't you choose Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng, who grew up with you?"

When Yan Jiecheng was mentioned, Xu Damao thought that the previous questions were just transitional and the core was "Yan Jiecheng".

"I don't have a good relationship with them, and if I choose them, I will most likely not be thanked, and will even be resented, especially for those who are not chosen. There is only one position, so it is better to pick one randomly. It just so happened that Cui Dake was chosen."

"When was the last time you and Cui Dake had contact?"

The problem still revolves around Cui Dake, and Xu Damao also understands that the focus of this matter is Cui Dake.

"It should be about a month ago, when he was suspended for not doing his job seriously..."

"Don't you know that he has been promoted to deputy section chief?"

Xu Damao shook his head. "I don't know."

"Have you ever accepted any gift Cui Dake gave you?"

"Yes, at first it was some local specialties, and later some nutritional supplements like malted milk."

"Did he ever talk to you about the 'novel' or 'anti-leadership', or send you a bound copy of the 'novel'?"

Xu Damao:......

"No, we never talk about this. Cui Dake is a worker who really wants to make progress. He won't go against the leadership. He comes from a peasant family and can barely read. If you give him a novel, he can't even recognize all the words, let alone read it and understand the story."

Later, he asked some more questions about Cui Dake. As the veteran came over with tangerines to deliver lunch, the two men also stood up and said goodbye.

He was still meticulous. At the beginning, Xu Damao poured the tea for them personally, but he didn't even touch it from beginning to end.

"Comrade Xu Damao, today's questioning ends here. Thank you for your cooperation."

After politely saying goodbye, the two left.

At this time, the veteran who delivered the meal came into the house and put down the lunch.

"These two wooden men came to talk to you? Then you will leave soon."

This was the first time the veteran mentioned this on his own initiative, and Xu Damao followed his words and said, "Are you serious?"

"Of course, this is a screening process. After they have handled you, you will be sent to another place. You can either go home or go to jail. It will not be as comfortable as here."

It turns out that this is just the front station.

"Then why call them wooden people?"

"Because these people are very rigid in what they say and do, without any human touch, like two pieces of wood."

This is because the veteran does not know the concept of robots, otherwise he would have called these two people "robots".

"What are these wooden people screening for?"

"Who knows? When I was delivering food before, I occasionally heard the word 'novel'. What is a novel?"

Few people can read, and some cannot even write their own names, so don’t expect them to understand what a novel is.

"Novels... You can think of novels as storybooks, which are made-up storybooks. The stories in them are all fictitious."

Xu Damao did not talk about the deeper way of expression, because even if he said it, the veteran would not understand it.

"Then why not just call it a storybook? A novel, a novel, that sounds pretty high-end."

"Who says it isn't?"

"I won't say any more. I still have to go deliver the food. In the basket are the tangerines you requested. Eat less of them. Eating too much will cause internal heat."

"okay."

When Xu Damao was the only one left in the room, he recalled every detail about Cui Dake. The two of them rarely talked about books, let alone novels.

This knowledge has nothing to do with Cui Dake.

If it was really because some "stories" had affected Cui Dake, and thus affected him...

Xu Damao had a guess, maybe, maybe Cui Dake was framed by someone.

Come to think of it, it's very possible.
