Siheyuan: Originally I just wanted to be a little transparent

Chapter 335 More misfortune is yet to come

Looking at the pile of information on Director Ji's desk, Fang Weiguo smiled and asked, "Director Ji, you have such a big pile on your desk. You are working really hard."

Director Ji was rummaging around and said, "Hey, why bother? It's just a bunch of trivial things that make people dizzy."

Hearing what Director Ji said, Fang Weiguo smiled and said, "This is not like what your Director of Ji University said. There are things in our Publicity Department that can stump your Director of Discipline."

Director Ji handed the found documents to Fang Weiguo and said, "Don't mention it. You have seen this pile on the table."

"These are all applications from the villages, brigades, and communes below. They all want to invite our factory to show movies and conduct publicity activities."

Fang Weiguo took the document and said, "Isn't this a good thing? It shows that our factory has laid a good foundation among the surrounding people."

After hearing what Fang Weiguo said, Director Ji said helplessly: "Logically speaking, this is indeed a good thing."

"But you don't know, the people who came here to apply are some village brigade and so on. They are just too far away."

"There are some, they are all close to Baocheng and Jincheng. Who would want to go to such a far place to show a movie!"

"Another one, we only have so many comrades who can show movies. We really don't have enough manpower."

"But if no one goes to those places, it won't be a problem!"

"If we look back at those people in remote areas and don't wait until our people arrive, if they go to the factory leaders or superiors and sue us for differential treatment, we won't be able to explain it even if we have the words!"

In these days, the propaganda departments in these large factories are responsible for carrying out literary and artistic propaganda work for the surrounding people.

Translated, we need comrades from the propaganda department in the factory to go to the countryside to show movies!

This task of showing movies is still a hard task. Every month, a certain number of shows must be shown.

Moreover, the location of this screening cannot be just in a certain area for multiple screenings in a row.

The places that are close around here are easy to say, but those that are far away are all close to the border areas of Forty-Nine City, and most of them are more than 100 kilometers away from Forty-Nine City.

In these days, there were no highways, and it was impossible to provide cars for projectionists who went to the countryside to show movies.

They all relied on the projectionist to pull a lot of equipment and ride over on a bicycle.

This is definitely a hard job for those projectionists, so generally speaking, no one is willing to take on such a job.
The publicity department of this steel rolling mill has also added some personnel after the factory was upgraded and expanded.

Now their publicity department has almost seven or eight projectionists.

But even this is only enough to meet the projection tasks in the surrounding areas. For those projection tasks in remote areas, either no one is willing to do it, or there is simply no manpower available.

In the past, the publicity department of their steel rolling mill used a lottery method to handle screening tasks in remote areas, and whoever caught the film went.

But one time, one of their projectionists was walking on a certain mountain road, and he and his car almost rolled over.

In the end, the projectionist's car and equipment all fell into a bottomless ditch, and only the projectionist ran back in a panic.

From now on, when it comes to screening tasks in remote areas, everyone can push them as much as they can, and delay them as much as they can.

The factory and the superiors also turned a blind eye to this situation. It was really not easy to go there.

But with the development of the country, except for those particularly remote places, in ordinary places, although there are no asphalt roads, at least there are dirt and gravel roads that allow people to ride smoothly.

In addition, this year, the superiors suddenly issued an instruction to strengthen the literary and artistic publicity work for the people in remote rural areas. The publicity department of their steel rolling mill has not been able to push or delay the screening tasks in remote areas in the past. It must be taken seriously.

After hearing this, Fang Weiguo smiled and said, "Director Ji, I think your worries are a bit unnecessary."

"I believe that the comrades in our propaganda department must have the kind of comrades who are dedicated and not afraid of hardships. For example, I have heard that you have Comrade Xu Damao here."

"Xu Damao?"

Director Ji was stunned when he heard this. Director Ji was still very familiar with this Xu Damao.

When he was still the head of the propaganda section, Xu Damao often came over to flatter him.

Come over for a visit when you have nothing to do, say something nice, and often bring him some souvenirs when you come back from the countryside.

Although they were all worthless little things, and Director Ji was not lacking in them, he still accepted Xu Damao's kindness.

Therefore, Director Ji's overall impression of Xu Damao is quite good.

Last year, when the steel rolling mill was upgrading and expanding its enrollment, Director Discipline was still thinking about whether Xu Damao, a well-spoken man, should be promoted to deputy section chief or something like that.

It's a pity that at that time, there was a faint word from the factory leadership that Xu Damao, Director Lou's son-in-law, could only use it.

Therefore, Xu Damao has always been a projectionist.But now, what does Fang Weiguo mean by mentioning Xu Damao? Is there any conflict between him and Xu Damao?
Otherwise, what does that mean, is Xu Damao allowed to go to those remote areas to show movies?

Although Director Ji has a good impression of Xu Damao, he has to think about Fang Weiguo's identity.

He was Lin Shengli, the factory's first deputy secretary and secretary to the deputy director. He was Lin Shengli's celebrity.

According to some gossip in the factory, Director Yang will be transferred soon, and Lin Shengli is the most likely candidate to take over as the top leader.

If this offends the future secretary who will be the top secretary in the factory, he, Director Ji, will still want to have a good time in the factory.

Even after Lin Shengli won't be able to become the final leader, his status in the factory will be similar to that of the top leader.

That's something his disciplinary director can't afford to offend.

What's more, I don't know if what Fang Weiguo meant was what Lin Shengli meant.

If this is the case, no matter what the reason is, even if it is just that Fang Weiguo and Xu Damao seem to have a problem, he, Director of Discipline, is happy to do this smooth favor.

After all, one is the chief secretary of the factory leader who can shake his position, and the other is Xu Damao, who only knows how to flatter others.

As long as he is a normal person, he will know how to choose!
Thinking of this, Director Ji said with a sudden realization: "Oh, thanks to Secretary Fang for the reminder."

"I just remembered that Comrade Xu Damao is indeed a good comrade in our department who is particularly dedicated and hard-working."

"These screening tasks are entrusted to him, and it can be said that he makes the best use of his talents."

"I believe that Comrade Xu Damao will be very happy and will complete this glorious task well."

After listening to Director Ji's words, Fang Weiguo nodded with a smile and said, "Director Ji's work ability is worthy of being praised by Factory Director Lin. If nothing else, it is his ability to know people and make good use of them. In our factory, , that’s one of the best.”

"Oh, brother Weiguo, you are so ridiculous." Director Ji said this, but the smile on his face was bright.

Hearing this, Fang Weiguo said: "Director Ji, I've got this document, so I won't disturb you anymore. When you are free one day, you are welcome to come to my office."

"I have good tea at my place that Director Lin brought back from his superiors."

Director Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was a good sign, so he said with a smile: "Okay, brother Wei Guo, come on, I will definitely go to your place to try Director Lin's good tea."

Xu Damao seemed to be plagued by bad luck. When he was riding out in the morning, the chain of his bicycle suddenly fell off, and he was thrown to pieces.

It was time to go home to change clothes and pick up the bicycle, but in time, he, Xu Damao, was late gorgeously.

After finishing lunch, he was walking back with his lunch, when he got into trouble again by some strange combination. In addition to knocking a dog over and snatching its shit, the meal also hit him.

After putting things away again, the meal had to be continued, but when Xu Damao turned around and went back to the cafeteria to prepare the meal again, there were only leftovers.

Xu Damao, who barely managed to deal with it, returned to the break room of their propaganda department. When he was drinking water, he lost his hand again and spilled a tea jar of tea all over himself.

If Xu Damao hadn't been able to hide quickly, the hot tea would have been spilled directly onto his crotch.

After experiencing so many unlucky things in one day, Xu Damao wondered whether he went out without reading the almanac, otherwise how could he be so unlucky.

But what he didn't know was that what made him feel even more unlucky was yet to come.

As soon as Xu Damao wiped off the water stains on his body with a rag, he was called over by Chief Zhu of their screening department.

Xu Damao's appearance, covered in grease stains and wet areas, made Section Chief Zhu frown.

Although Xu Damao is usually eloquent, Section Chief Zhu doesn't have a very good impression of Xu Damao.

Because of this Xu Damao, even though he usually seems to have a lot of respect for him, sometimes, relying on his relationship with the disciplinary director, he does things that he, the section chief directly under the department, does not obey.

For example, he originally thought about assigning Xu Damao one or two movie screening tasks in remote areas, but Xu Damao found a lot of reasons not to go, and finally moved Director Ji out.

This time, when Section Chief Zhu received the allocation list from Director Ji, he thought he had made a mistake.

After confirming again and again, Section Chief Zhu also wanted to see what Xu Damao's expression looked like when he knew the good news.

Section Chief Zhu handed the allocation list to Xu Damao and said, "Da Mao, this is the place where you need to go to the countryside to show movies recently."

Xu Damao's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the thick stack of paper in Section Chief Zhu's hand.

He felt that it turned out that he had suffered so much because there was a greater benefit waiting for him.

Such a thick pile, how much oil and water does Xu Damao have to absorb?
