Siheyuan: Domineering life

Chapter 261 Xu Damao’s Promotion Banquet
the next day.

Yang Jun held a high-level leadership meeting.

The content of the meeting was to discuss the candidate for the position of deputy chief of the Publicity Section.

Since the last time Wang Minghan, the head of the Propaganda Section, took sides with Li Huaide, Yang Jun checked him out. Sure enough, there was no one in the world who could withstand the investigation. This Wang Minghan had been greedy and possessive, so he sent him to the workshop.

The position of section chief was taken over by deputy section chief Gao Xia, so now the position of deputy section chief of the Propaganda Section is vacant.

This time, the candidate for deputy section chief will be promoted from within the Publicity Department.

Gao Xia reported the list of people who agreed to the promotion conditions for Yang Jun and others to make decisions.

Xu Damao's name also appears on this list.

As a projectionist, he is treated like a clerk, and he has been showing movies with his father since he was 14 years old. He has been working for 15 years now and is considered an old man in the steel rolling mill. He is qualified to run for this deputy department. A long-term job.

Moreover, Xu Damao was always in trouble and often flattered his leaders. Therefore, when Yang Jun proposed that he should serve as the deputy section chief, several other leaders agreed.

That night.

Xu Damao is going to host a banquet for the leaders of the steel rolling mill in a cafeteria to celebrate his promotion.

"Silly Zhu, from now on, your Master Mao will be a cadre of the steel rolling mill. You must be more honest with me from now on, otherwise... hum."

Xu Damao appeared in the cafeteria kitchen carrying ingredients.

"Sun thief, do you remember to eat and not to fight? Your Lord Zhu won't serve you, so you can take your things wherever you need them."

Silly Zhu pointed at Xu Damao with a frying spoon in his hand and cursed.

Although Xu Damao is now a cadre, Silly Zhugen does not ignore him.

Your little deputy section chief asked him to cook, and he did it?

Which cadre asked him to open a small kitchen without treating him as an uncle, saying good things, and offering him cigarettes and wine. Only when he was made happy did he agree to take charge.

Of course, not all cadres are like this.

For someone of Yang Jun's level, he wouldn't dare to put on airs.

"Silly Zhu, I'm hosting a banquet for the factory director. How dare you refuse?" Xu Damao opened his eyes and said bullishly.

Hearing this, Shazhu chuckled.

"Master Zhu doesn't want to serve you, what can you do?"

He might be afraid of other leaders, but Yang Jun, he is really not afraid.

Normally, the two are so close and the relationship between the two families is good. Even if he makes a small mistake, Yang Jun will turn a blind eye.

Xu Damao threatened him with Yang Jun and chose the wrong target.

"Okay, Silly Zhu, just wait for me."

Xu Damao carried the ingredients and left angrily.

……

When it's time to get off work.

Yang Jun went to the office next door to call Shang Tielong, and they went to Xu Damao's promotion banquet together.

Yuan Kaizong, Yan Huaisheng, Liu Feng and others also went together.

It was a lie to attend Xu Damao's promotion banquet, mainly because he wanted to use his banquet to give Shang Tielong a clean break.

After all, it’s hard to get ingredients at this stall now, and we can’t entertain guests with public funds, so everyone has no choice but to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha.

Of course, Xu Damao should also treat him. Without the consent of these people, he would not have been able to become the deputy section chief.

Yang Jun asked Ma Juzi to send Yang Mei home first, and then take a detour to send Yi Qiushui.

Now that Yang Mei's belly is getting bigger and bigger, Yang Jun is afraid that it will be unsafe for Liu Zhi to take her by bike, so he drives her there.

He also thought about giving her maternity leave in advance, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. After all, the month was still young and he was afraid of people gossiping.

Silly Zhu did not give Xu Damao the job in the end.

Xu Damao didn't know how he begged Nan Yi, so Nan Yi reluctantly made a table for him.

When he heard that Xu Damao was hosting a banquet for the factory leaders, Nan Yi was happy. After all, he could get some oil and water, but when he thought that Shang Tielong was among the people at the banquet, he was a little unhappy.

In recent days.

Shang Tielong often went to the second canteen to pester Nan Yi, insisting that he was Yang Shoushan, which made him unable to cook well.

Now, as soon as he sees Shang Tielong, he walks around him.

After the food and wine are served

Xu Damao stood up immediately and said,
"Dear leaders, thank you..."

"Xu Damao, please sit down first."

He was interrupted by Yang Jun just as he was about to speak.

Knowing what Xu Damao was going to say, he just wanted to say thank you to the leader for attending his promotion banquet and so on.

Naturally, Yang Jun couldn't let him say it, otherwise Shang Tielong would take them for nothing. They said they were just for him, but he used other people's promotion banquets to make up for it. What do you want Shang Tielong to think?

Of course, I blame myself for not telling him in advance.

"Xu Damao, today's banquet is for Deputy Director Shang to cleanse himself from the wind and dust. You just need to accompany him and don't talk nonsense about anything else."

Before Yang Jun could say anything, Yuan Kaizong scolded him with a dark face.

"Yes, yes, I am too unruly. I will punish myself with three drinks."

Xu Damao is considered a good person. After waking up like this, he immediately realized that he had almost violated a taboo today. If he made the leaders dissatisfied, he might be the deputy section chief before he got the job.

Xu Damao didn't hesitate and drank three glasses of wine in a row.

This guy spent a lot of money tonight. Not to mention the meat and vegetables on the table, he even got five bottles from Luzhou Laojiao.

He was allowed to do this only when there was plenty of alcohol.

"Brother Bao Guo... Oh, Deputy Director Shang, on behalf of all the employees of the steel rolling mill, I welcome you. From now on, this will be your home."

Yang Jun stood up and raised his glass.

"I'm really grateful to Director Yang. It's such a difficult time now, but you can still prepare such a table of wine and food. I, Lao Shang, didn't say anything and just drank in the wine."

Shang Tielong was a soldier and had an upright temperament, so he immediately became bored.

When Yang Jun saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he hadn't moved his chopsticks yet. He didn't want to drink such a large glass of wine.

He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and poured the rest into the space.

Several other people saw this and followed suit.

"Speaking of home, Lao Shang, you don't have a fixed place to live yet, right?" Yan Huaisheng asked.

"No, I'm single, I can just make do in the office." Shang Tielong waved his hands and said nonchalantly.

"How can that be done? You are also the deputy director of the steel rolling mill and are eligible for cadre housing benefits."

After Yan Huaisheng finished speaking, he turned back to Yang Jun and the others and said: "There were still a few sets of cadre housing left some time ago. How about giving one to Lao Shang?" When planning to build cadre housing, the factory had left a margin. , just to cope with this situation.

Shang Tielong arrived early rather than by chance. As soon as he took office, he was allocated a cadre housing.

"I think there's no problem at all. I'll leave the matter of Lao Shang's house to you." Yang Jun immediately expressed his position.

Hearing this, Shang Tielong shook his head and refused, saying,

"That won't work. It doesn't make sense that I've just arrived and asked for a house before I've made any achievements."

"Lao Shang, please don't refuse. Only when you have a family can you settle down and work. You will have the opportunity to make contributions in the future." Yuan Kaizong patted Shang Tielong on the shoulder.

"Yes, Lao Shang, unless you don't plan to take root in our steel rolling mill, otherwise, don't refuse." Liu Feng also advised.

Shang Tielong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I, Shang Tielong, thank you all. Please rest assured. I will only do one thing in my life. I will give these more than 100 kilograms to our steel rolling mill." ."

"Hey, that's right."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Damao rolled his eyelids a few times and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He thought to himself that he was also a cadre and wondered whether he could be allocated a cadre housing.

He had this idea in his mind, but he didn't dare to bring it up.

If you want to divide the house even before you take office, you will definitely leave a bad impression on the leader.

When Yang Jun saw Xu Damao's expression, how could he not know what he was thinking.

"Xu Damao, you have been promoted now, who will take over the position of projectionist? If no one takes your place, you will still have to shoulder the job of showing movies."

The reason why Yang Jun said this was to give him a slap. Don't think that just because you have been promoted, you can do whatever you want. If you don't obey, you will be sent back to your original job immediately.

When Xu Damao heard this, he did not dare to neglect and immediately replied,

"Director Yang, Xiao Liu from our department will take my place. He can now play movies independently. Please don't worry."

"That's good. You have to focus on the cultural life of our factory workers, but you can't hold back the factory."

"Director, don't worry, if I'm holding you back, you can just remove me. I will have no complaints." Xu Damao stood up immediately and expressed his stance.

Yang Jun raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down and talk.

This guy is so ambitious that he needs to be given a beating from time to time.

Xu Damao has the lowest position here, so he is the one pouring wine for everyone. Of course, he drinks the most.

"Deputy Director Shang, I respect you."

Xu Damao gave a toast to each leader, and then when it was Shang Tielong's turn, he said: "One big and three small, you have one drink and I have three."

"That won't work." Shang Tielong shook his head and said, "Food is so expensive, why should you drink three and I drink one?"

"Ah?" Xu Damao was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Normally, everyone should drink less if they can, and drink less if they can't refuse. This is good. Shang Tielong thinks differently from others. He thinks that he is at a disadvantage because he drinks less.

There is no other reason.

She, Shang Tielong, is also a drunkard.

"I'll drink as much as you drink."

"Come on, boss. I, Xu Damao, will have a drink with you today."

Afterwards, the two of them drank alone.

Not to mention Shang Tielong's drinking capacity is really big, even the top wine bar master in Xu Damao Steel Rolling Mill is willing to be defeated.

After one and a half kilograms of wine, Xu Damao got under the table.

Shang Tielong seemed to be fine.

"Director Yang, you are an open-minded person, which suits my temperament very well. I want to have three drinks with you alone."

"can."

Yang Jun didn't even hesitate and agreed directly.

He didn't talk nonsense and drank three glasses of wine in a row.

Shang Tielong was stunned for a moment when he saw this. He didn't expect Yang Jun to be so cheerful. He took the wine bottle and blew directly into his mouth.

This scene made Yuan Kaizong and the others twitch.

Northeastern people are so fierce, they drink like water.

Shang Tielong drank half of the bottle, then looked at Yuan Kaizong and the others.

"Hey, Lao Shang, it's getting late. We have to go to work tomorrow. Let's leave early."

Yuan Kaizong saw that the situation was not good and quickly gave in.

"Unhappy."

Shang Tielong put the wine bottle on the table and said a little disappointed.

These words made Yuan Kaizong and the others embarrassed, but there was nothing they could do. Three glasses of wine was a lot. They were old and could not drink so much.

They also want to take care of their grandson for two more years.

"Lao Shang, the days are long and there will be plenty of opportunities to drink."

Yang Jun saw this.

Come over quickly to smooth things over for them.

We are all leaders and we will have to work together in the future. It would not be good if the relationship becomes too tense.

Afterwards, the banquet broke up.

Yang Jun asked the people in the second cafeteria to clean up the small private rooms and send Xu Damao back.

He, Yuan Kaizong and the others left the second canteen.

Ma Juzi and several other leaders' drivers parked their cars at the entrance of the canteen.

Seeing Yang Jun coming out, he quickly got out of the car and helped him.

Yang Jun waved his hand and said he was fine.

Shang Tielong liked Yang Jun's openness very much, and even came here to see him off.

"Lao Shang, you drank a lot tonight, go back and rest quickly." Yang Jun patted him on the shoulder and said,
"You can make do with it tonight, and I'll have someone clean up the new house for you tomorrow."

Shang Tielong smiled and said, "Brother Yang, just leave me alone. This little wine is nothing."

He patted his head and seemed to remember something.

"Brother Yang, go back first. I'll have a drink with Yang...Nanyi later."
