Courtyard House: New Life, New Silly Zhu

"Young comrade, I'm right here. What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."

Upon hearing that this young comrade also had a drinking expert coming over, Li Huaide immediately perked up.

He's out of energy, he's drunk, and now the cafeteria manager isn't here either. He's the only one holding things together in their logistics department. How can this be okay?

So Li Huaide wanted to find out who it was. He also wanted to go out and find someone to drink with him.

At this moment, Section Chief Wang, who was standing nearby, also realized what was happening and quickly said to Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, what brings you here? I didn't even notice you. Next time you should tell me we're together, okay?"

Section Chief Wang's words were all nonsense; only the last sentence was true.

He was reminding Xu Damao that they were in cahoots.

Xu Damao looked at his section chief with a somewhat resentful gaze. Good heavens, how long had he been here? He hadn't paid him any attention at all. Now that he was asking to bring someone over, he was finally ignoring him. He might as well not have this section chief.

"Section Chief, you're a very busy person. You're busy drinking with others, how could you possibly notice me?" Xu Damao thought to himself, but he didn't dare say it aloud, since he was supposed to work under him.

"Well, the expert I'm talking about can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk or falling over ten thousand. I often saw him holding a ceramic mug and drinking it sip by sip. Back then, I didn't know what he was drinking; I thought he was drinking tea. So that day, I asked him out of curiosity, 'Hey, Sha Zhu, why are you always drinking water like that? Get some tea leaves.'"

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he said mysteriously, "You two leaders, what did that silly Zhu tell me?"

Li Huaide and Section Chief Wang had never heard of He Yuzhu's nickname "Silly Zhu." They assumed it referred to someone else and didn't realize it was Chef He Yuzhu, who often cooked for them.

Upon seeing Li Huaide and Section Chief Wang shake their heads, Xu Damao chuckled.

"He told me that he was drinking alcohol. He likes to drink some alcohol to quench his thirst when he's thirsty."

After he finished speaking, the two of them gasped simultaneously.

"Can this person really drink like that?" Li Huaide asked, somewhat doubtful.

Xu Damao said, feigning seriousness, "It's absolutely true. I can't lie to my boss. I asked him out of curiosity back then, 'How much can you drink?'"

"How much can this silly Zhu drink?" Section Chief Wang also stepped forward and asked curiously.

Xu Damao held up one finger and waved it in front of the two leaders.

"A jin of wine? No, that's not much. Could it be ten jin? My god, wouldn't that kill someone?"

When Xu Damao heard Section Chief Wang say that, he also felt that something was amiss. Ten jin of liquor, that's really a lot; drinking too much can kill someone. But the boast had already been made, and although he was making it for He Yuzhu, wasn't it ultimately for his childhood friend?

"Section Chief Wang, how can you say that? He's been drinking all the time." Xu Damao said this deliberately, which stunned the two leaders.

"Comrade, this kind of comrade should be properly trained. Tell me who he is, and I'll go find him right now." Upon hearing this, Li Huaide's eyes widened, and he immediately grabbed Xu Damao's hand, eager to get the information and leave immediately.

"Da Mao, are you talking about our comrades? You can't do this. We're all in the same department. What you're doing is wrong. That's called betraying your own people, you know? Tell me, and I'll go." Section Chief Wang had already thrown his face as far away as possible. Threats should be made like this.

Hearing his section chief say this, Xu Damao gave a wry smile. If it really was someone from their propaganda section, he would definitely tell his section chief, but it was someone from the logistics department.

"My two leaders, the person I'm talking about is called Sha Zhu, also known as He Yuzhu."

"Comrade, that's not right of you. How can you give your own comrade such a nickname? That's not right. Alright, I'll go out and apologize to him for you now." As soon as Li Huaide heard that it was his subordinate He Yuzhu, he immediately stood up with a righteous expression.

Xu Damao stared blankly at Li Huaide, who then dashed away, leaving Xu Damao dazedly raising Erkang's hand.

Hey boss, you're running so fast, is there any possibility that you actually wanted to go out and look for He Yuzhu?

Section Chief Wang stared at Xu Damao with an unfriendly expression, making Xu Damao feel uneasy.

He said it weakly.

"Boss, He Yuzhu works in their logistics department, we can't get him to come."

Section Chief Wang stared blankly at Xu Damao, thinking that this man was both wicked and incredibly stupid.

"Xu Damao, do you know who recommended you to come here?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao's eyes revealed a fierce look.

"Boss, please tell me, and I'll go and give him a proper visit."

"Da Mao, I was the one who said it, but it was the logistics department that went to invite you," Director Wang's voice came softly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao's expression changed.

"Oh, so it's you," Xu Damao originally wanted to curse, but remembering that the person in front of him was his boss, he immediately changed his tone.

"So it's you, boss! I was wondering why I, an ordinary projectionist, had the opportunity to attend a banquet where I could meet leaders. It's you, boss! It's my dearest boss who gave me this opportunity."

"Da Mao, is this what I meant? I meant what I said, you're here, but it was the logistics department that called you here." Section Chief Wang emphasized the last few words.

At this moment, Xu Damao realized, "That's right! The person who called me here was the cafeteria director, from the logistics department. Now that He Yuzhu from the logistics department is coming, my boss can go too. Does that mean I've offended my boss?"

Thinking of this, Xu Damao blinked his small eyes and looked at his boss.

Section Chief Wang stared expressionlessly at the traitor before him, the traitor who had betrayed his department.

Li Huaide jogged out of the private room, took out a handkerchief, and wiped his sweat.

"This expert today is really inhuman; he actually called in his own technicians."

Today's banquet was originally intended for experts, but who would have thought that after watching a movie today, one of the experts would also invite the technicians who watched the movie with him.

This turned what should have been a close contest into a one-sided affair. Now, all he wanted was to find He Yuzhu and ask him to save the day.

We can't do without He Yuzhu! He Yuzhu, save me!

Of course, whether He Yuzhu can actually keep drinking like Xu Damao said is none of his business. He simply can't drink anymore; not even the King of Heaven himself could stop him.
