Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Xiao Shan never expected that Liu Haizhong would have such thoughts.

Looking at Liu Guangtian, who was looking at him expectantly, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "What's the big deal about whether it's suitable or not? If you two are willing, then it's suitable; if you're not, then it's not suitable!"

"Yu Haitang's appearance is indeed impeccable, but as for her personality and character, I don't know her well."

"Since your second uncle plans to introduce Yu Haitang to you, he will definitely arrange for you two to meet. You two can sit down and have a good chat then, and you'll know whether you're compatible!"

Liu Guangtian nodded in agreement, saying, "What you said makes sense! I've met Yu Haitang, and she is indeed beautiful! As for her personality and character, we'll only know after we get to know her!"

"I'll go talk to my dad right now and ask him to arrange for us to meet!"

Seeing Liu Guangtian leave, Xiao Shan followed him out for a stroll.

The next day, Xiao Shan was processing a level 8 workpiece when Luo Zhengqiu came over and said, "Xiao Shan, Factory Director Li wants to see you!"

"Uncle Luo, I'll go see what's going on!" Xiao Shan stopped what he was doing and said to Luo Zhengqiu.

After leaving the welding workshop, Xiao Shan went directly to Li Huaide's office.

"Xiao Shan is here! Come, sit down!" Li Huaide invited Xiao Shan to sit down.

After sitting down opposite Li Huaide, Xiao Shan asked with some curiosity, "Factory Manager, is there a mission you've summoned me for?"

"It's not a mission, it's a good thing!" Li Huaide said with a smile. "Xiaoshan, you know that the deputy director of your welding workshop is about to retire!"

Xiao Shan nodded: "I know, Master Sun is exactly fifty-five today, he's reached retirement age!"

"Well! With Master Sun retiring, the position of deputy director of the welding workshop is now vacant!" Li Huaide said to Xiao Shan. "What I mean is, I'd like you to take this position. What do you think?"

As for Xiao Shan, he didn't actually want to stand out too much in this matter.

However, since Li Huaide had already said that, he couldn't very well refuse him.

Besides, being the deputy director of a workshop isn't something to be too high-profile about.

So Xiao Shan smiled and said to Li Huaide, "I'll follow the factory manager's arrangements!"

"Alright, once Master Sun has completed his retirement procedures, you will become the deputy director of the welding workshop!" Li Huaide said to Xiao Shan with satisfaction.

Three days later, Master Sun retired smoothly, and Xiao Shan also became the deputy director of the welding workshop.

At lunchtime, Xiao Shan ran into Xu Damao in the cafeteria.

Upon seeing Xiao Shan, Xu Damao smiled and said, "Xiao Shan, no, Director Xiao, are you free? I need to talk to you about something."

"Brother Mao, stop joking with me!" Xiao Shan said to Xu Damao with a hint of helplessness. "After I get my food, let's find a quiet place to sit down and talk!"

"Why do you still need to get your own food? I've already got it for you." Xu Damao patted his backpack.

The two found a table in a corner and sat down. Xu Damao took out several lunch boxes from his backpack.

In addition to the cafeteria food, there was also a box of braised meat.

Looking at the food Xu Damao brought out, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Brother Mao, you've gone to so much trouble!"

"Haha, treating you to a meal, Xiaoshan, is hardly an expense. It's only right!"

Xiao Shan didn't stand on ceremony; Xu Damao must have something to say about inviting him to dinner.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited for him in the cafeteria at midday.

Xiao Shan picked up a piece of braised meat and put it in his mouth: "Brother Mao, is something wrong?"

"Xiaoshan, I heard that the External Relations Department has set up some kind of poverty alleviation team, and Director Li attaches great importance to it!" Xu Damao revealed his purpose. "I also want to join the poverty alleviation team and contribute my share to the factory."

The poverty alleviation team that Xu Damao mentioned was the one that Xiong Dingxi set up after Xiaoshan gave him the idea.

"It's great that Brother Mao wants to join the poverty alleviation team!" Xiao Shan said to Xu Damao. "But Brother Mao, you should know that everyone in the team, except for the leaders, has to do real work, even more tiring than what you're doing showing movies now!"

"After all, you have to go to the vast countryside to understand the situation and go deep into the grassroots. In the end, if you do a good job, most of the credit goes to the leaders, and the team members below get very little credit. Promotion is a distant dream. It's not as easy and carefree as showing movies, where you can occasionally make some extra money."

After hearing Xiao Shan's words, Xu Damao hesitated.

He originally thought that by joining the poverty alleviation team, he would be closer to the leaders and might even be able to get a position.

But now, after hearing what Xiao Shan said, it seems that it's not what I thought.

Seeing the hesitation on Xu Damao's face, Xiao Shan continued, "Brother Mao, this is a matter of great concern to the factory leaders, so we can't just do it carelessly. If we're not careful, we might have to stay in the countryside for ten days or half a month to understand the situation in each village and know which family is really in need, instead of letting those with connections take all the supplies."

“If you don’t do a good job, you’ll be embarrassing Director Li. At that point, forget about the poverty alleviation team, Mao Ge, you might even lose your movie projection job. There are plenty of people who are envious of projectionists.”

Xu Damao nodded, understanding that Xiao Shan's words were not an exaggeration.

The job of a projectionist, which provides extra income, is a one-person-one-job position.

If you're transferred to a lateral position, it's easy to leave, but it's difficult to get transferred back.

After hearing Xiao Shan's words, Xu Damao had given up the idea of ​​going to the poverty alleviation team.

However, considering that Liu Haizhong and He Yuzhu's promotions were related to Xiao Shan's guidance, Xu Damao wanted Xiao Shan to give him some pointers as well.

So Xu Damao said to Xiao Shan, "Xiao Shan, we've lived together for so many years, you have to help your brother out! Even an incompetent like Second Uncle can be a group leader, bossing me around all day. Can't you get a little official position too?"

Liu Haizhong used to speak to Xu Damao very politely, since they were from the same compound.

But ever since Liu Haizhong became the head of the inspection team, he has become more and more arrogant, and he speaks to Xu Damao in a condescending manner.

"Brother Mao, you have to work on Director Li to get you an official position. Director Li is the boss of the steel rolling mill!" Xiao Shan said to Xu Damao in a low voice. "Getting an official position is just a matter of his word, but you have to make some achievements. In any aspect, you have to satisfy Director Li."

Seeing Xiao Shan's meaningful expression, Xu Damao instantly understood: "Xiao Shan, you still need to give me some pointers on this!"

Xiao Shan looked around; more and more people were eating. "Brother Mao," he said, "this isn't something that can be done in a day or two, and this isn't the place to talk. How about tomorrow night? Come to my place, and we'll have a couple of drinks!"

"No problem! Xiaoshan, I'll arrange everything for tomorrow night, you'll definitely be satisfied," Xu Damao said, patting his chest.

The two quickly finished their food and went back to work.

The following afternoon, Xiao Shan and Ding Qiunan had just returned to the courtyard after get off work when Yan Bugui came over.

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Xiaoshan, I've heard you've become the deputy director of the welding workshop! Congratulations!"

"Haha, Third Uncle, it's just a coincidence that the leader appreciates me!" Xiao Shan said modestly. "By the way, Third Uncle, shouldn't Jiefang be looking for a partner by now? Do you have anyone in mind?"

"Don't even mention it. This kid wants to join the young talents team at their factory, and I don't dare to interfere with him now!" Yan Bugui sighed, somewhat helplessly.

Xiao Shan told Ding Qiunan to push the bicycle home first, then looked at Yan Bugui and asked, "Third Uncle, is something the matter?"

"I really do have something I'd like to ask you for a favor!" Yan Bugui said somewhat embarrassedly, "Jie Cheng wants to separate from me and live independently, and I can't stop him. You're the smartest person in our compound, could you put in a good word for me with Jie Cheng? A family is only a family if they live together, what kind of family is it if they separate and live independently!"

Xiao Shan looked at Yan Bugui speechlessly: "Third Uncle, this is your family matter, and I can't really say anything! Third Uncle, are you worried about the little bit of money lost after the family division?"

Xiao Shan's question clearly struck at the heart of Yan Bugui's problem.

Seeing Yan Bugui speechless for a long time, Xiao Shan advised, "Third Uncle, if you ask me, the fact that Jie Cheng and his wife want to separate their household is none of your business! They pretend to be living together as a family, but they end up spending more money than if they were living separately!"

"Uncle, you're a teacher, you should understand that it's better to guide than to block! You're almost at retirement age, aren't you? Sooner or later you'll still have to rely on your son, won't you?"

"Uncle, listen to my advice. While you're still able to move around, try to repair your relationship with your sons and plan for the future!"

After all, Yan Bugui and Xiao Shan have maintained a good relationship for so many years since they transmigrated.

That's why Xiao Shan talked to Yan Bugui for a few more minutes.

Of course, whether or not Yan Bugui listens is up to him.

Hearing Xiao Shan's words, Yan Bugui sighed and said, "Xiao Shan, what you said makes sense. I'll think about it!"

Watching Yan Bugui silently enter the house, Xiao Shan also walked towards the backyard.

As soon as Xiao Shan entered the backyard, he saw Xu Damao standing at his door.

Xiao Shan walked over and invited Xu Damao to come inside and sit down.

After entering the house, Xu Damao placed the package he was carrying on the table: "Xiaoshan, these are the groceries I bought at Liuquanju. Let's have a drink together."

As Xu Damao spoke, he took out the box containing the food and placed it on the table.

It must be said that Xu Damao is quite thoughtful.

He even brought Ding Qiunan a special meal.

Xiao Shan told Ding Qiunan to go to the inner room to eat, and then took out a bottle of Fenjiu liquor from the inner room.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Xu Damao looked at Xiao Shan and said, "Xiao Shan, I still need your guidance on what I told you yesterday!"

“Brother Mao, just like I said yesterday at noon, the key to your matter is Director Li!” Xiao Shan put down his wine glass and looked at Xu Damao. “But now Director Li is the head of the steel rolling mill, and there are countless people who want to curry favor with him.”

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, Xu Damao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I've seen that too, but I haven't known what to do!"

“At times like this, you have to bet big. If you bet too little, Director Li won’t even look at you.” Xiao Shan poured Xu Damao a glass of wine.

Xu Damao picked up his wine glass thoughtfully.

Although he had given gifts to their section chief before, he had never given anything extravagant.

In his view, their section chief couldn't give him a high position, and it wouldn't be worth it to give him a big gift.

After a long silence, Xu Damao put down his wine glass again: "Xiaoshan, I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me. I'm just worried that if I give a gift, I won't get a position, and things will be delayed, and Director Li will forget about it!"

"Brother Mao, you have someone in charge of the main position, so getting a deputy position wouldn't be bad!" Xiao Shan said to Xu Damao with a smile. "At least you'll get rid of your current status as an ordinary employee and become a cadre. It'll be easier to advance further then!"

Xu Damao's eyes lit up, and he downed the wine in his glass in one gulp: "Xiaoshan, you're right. Let's transfer him to a cadre position first, and then think about further matters!"

At that moment, Xu Damao's first thought was to become the deputy leader of the inspection team.

The inspection team had great power, and Xu Damao knew Liu Haizhong well.

As long as they can find a way to get something on Liu Haizhong, the disciplinary inspection team will be in control.

Even if I can't find any fault with Liu Haizhong, given Liu Haizhong's intelligence, he's no match for me!

Xiao Shan could tell from Xu Damao's expression that he had a goal: "Looks like Brother Mao has a goal now!"

"Yes, we do have one. Let's drink!" Xu Damao poured a glass of wine for both Xiao Shan and himself.

The two of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Damao then remembered something else: "Xiaoshan, buddy, I've always wanted a divorce, but Qin Huairu and Second Uncle keep stopping me. Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

"Xiaoshan, give me some advice, how can I get this divorce?"

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Xiao Shan was speechless.

So you think you can resolve both issues by treating me to a meal?

Besides, his wife was listening in the inner room; how could he give Xu Damao such an idea?

Chapter 290, Xu Damao and Qin Jingru get divorced! (Please subscribe!)

So Xiao Shan looked at Xu Damao and said with a smile, "Brother Mao, the divorce is between you and Qin Jingru. Neither Second Uncle nor I have the right to say anything."

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, Xu Damao's eyes lit up.

Yes, as long as Qin Jingru agrees to divorce him, nothing anyone else says will matter!

“But Qin Jingru just doesn’t want a divorce right now, what can I do?” Xu Damao looked at Xiao Shan with a hopeful expression.

Xiao Shan shook his head: "Brother Mao, as the saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage! So I can't help you with this; you'll have to rely on yourself!"

Although Xu Damao was somewhat disappointed, he still nodded and said, "Xiaoshan, what you said makes sense. I still need to think about this myself!"

The two drank until almost nine o'clock in the evening before Xu Damao hummed a little tune and headed straight to the Central Court.

At this moment, he already had a way to get Qin Jingru to agree to the divorce!

Arriving at the Jia family's door, Xu Damao knocked on the door.

"Who is it? Everyone's asleep!" Qin Huairu's voice came from inside.

Xu Damao shouted inside, "Qin Huairu, tell Qin Jingru to come home to sleep tonight! If she doesn't come back, she'll never have to come back again!"

After saying that, Xu Damao turned and left.

Qin Jingru was overjoyed to hear Xu Damao's words and quickly put on her clothes to run outside.

Qin Huairu quickly called out to her cousin, "Jingru, Xu Damao is not easy to deal with. He suddenly called you back to sleep so late at night, so something's probably up. Be careful."

"Don't worry, sis, Da Mao has definitely come to his senses. He knows how much I care for him and how reluctant he is to leave me. I'm going back now," Qin Jingru said happily.

Looking at Qin Jingru returning home, Qin Huairu sighed.
