Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

However, Li Huaide's expression changed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, his face was full of smiles.

Now that things have already happened and the person is at your doorstep, why keep putting on a stern face?

Perhaps Xu Damao has come here for some good news?

Li Huaide smiled and said to Xu Damao, "It's Damao! Come in quickly! What brings you here?"

Xu Damao looked around mysteriously before following Li Huaide into the house.

Seeing Xu Damao's thieving posture, Li Huaide instantly understood.

Li Huaide said to Xu Damao, who had just entered the room, "Damao, don't rush. What's wrong? Sit down, have some water, and tell me slowly!"

Li Huaide said he wanted to drink some water, but he had no intention of pouring water for Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was sensible enough not to cause trouble.

"Comrade Da Mao, did you come to see me because you have something to report?" Seeing that Xu Da Mao seemed unsure how to start the conversation, Li Huaide directly steered the conversation.

Xu Damao immediately understood: "Factory Manager, I've discovered some things going on in the factory and written a report. I'd like to ask for your feedback!"

After saying that, Xu Damao took an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to Li Huaide.

At first, Li Huaide didn't take the envelope Xu Damao handed him seriously.

After all, Xu Damao was just a projectionist with that little salary.

Even if you don't eat or drink anything to support yourself, it still won't amount to much.

Now that I'm the head of the steel rolling mill, I can't just accept anything!

However, when Li Huaide received the envelope, he noticed something was amiss.

The envelope weighs the wrong amount!

If the money were that heavy, it probably wouldn't fit in an envelope.

So Li Huaide skillfully used his thumb to pry open the seal of the envelope and peeked inside.

Then Li Huaide saw a stack of ten-yuan notes with two bright yellow things sandwiched inside.

Li Huaide's face instantly broke into a warm smile: "Okay, leave this report with me for now, I'll show it to you later!"

"Then I thank you very much, Factory Director!" Xu Damao quickly said with a smile.

Li Huaide placed the envelope on the table beside him, then asked Xu Damao, "Damao, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Li Huaide was a man of principle, and after receiving the money, he naturally had to ask about the recipient's needs.

Xu Damao quickly said what he had prepared beforehand: "Factory manager, I feel that my current job is a bit too easy, and I want to do more work for the steel rolling mill!"

"I see that Team Leader Liu of the inspection team is always busy, sometimes even working after he gets home from work. Factory Director, do you think Team Leader Liu needs an assistant?"

Upon hearing Xu Damao's request, Li Huaide nodded slightly.

He recently felt that Liu Haizhong was not a good person and planned to find someone else to manage the disciplinary team.

Xiao Shan was right after all!

Liu Haizhong was indeed obedient, but he was also a complete incompetent!

The inspection team now has more and more things to deal with, and Liu Haizhong simply can't handle it all.

Although Xu Damao doesn't look like a good person, he seems to be quite intelligent.

This is a good opportunity to let him take on some of the duties of the disciplinary team.

With Liu Haizhong watching over him, Xu Damao couldn't cause any trouble.

Having made up his mind, Li Huaide looked at Xu Damao and said, "Damao, I remember you, Liu Haizhong, and Xiaoshan are from the same courtyard, right?"

“Yes, Factory Director, we’re from the same compound!” Xu Damao nodded and said, “Liu Haizhong is the second oldest uncle in our compound. Xiaoshan is a few years younger than me, but we get along very well. We often drink together!”

Li Huaide nodded slightly: "How about this, come to my office the day after tomorrow, and we'll discuss the disciplinary team in detail!"

"Yes, Factory Manager!" Xu Damao hurriedly stood up, bowing and scraping. "Factory Manager, you rest, I'll head back now!"

Although Xu Damao felt a pang of regret after leaving Li Huaide's house, the thought of his upcoming promotion in a few days made him exceptionally happy.

Overjoyed, Xu Damao ate dinner at a restaurant outside and packed some braised dishes to take home for a late-night snack.

That evening, Xiao Shan and Ding Qiunan were listening to a radio drama when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

Xiao Shan frowned and got up to open the door.

Upon opening the door, Xiao Shan found Xu Damao standing outside with an excited expression.

Seeing Xu Damao's appearance, Xiao Shan asked curiously, "Brother Mao, judging from your expression, something great must have happened to you?"

"As expected of Xiaoshan, nothing can fool your eyes!" Xu Damao said happily. "I'm in a good mood today and wanted to ask you to have a drink together, how about it?"

Xiao Shan nodded hesitantly and said, "Alright, but I don't have any food or drinks today. If you want to drink, you'll have to wait for me to prepare some!"

"How could I let you prepare? I've already prepared everything!" Xu Damao said to Xiao Shan. "It's not good to disturb your wife so late. Why don't you come to my house for a drink?"

Xiaoshan is naturally no problem.

After telling Ding Qiunan inside, Xiao Shan closed the door and went to Xu Damao's house.

At this moment, several dishes and a bottle of wine were already laid out on the table in Xu Damao's home.

"These braised dishes were all bought from a restaurant, right?" Xiao Shan asked Xu Damao as he found a chair to sit down. "That must have been too much trouble for you, Brother Mao!"

Xu Damao waved his hand and said, "Xiaoshan, what kind of relationship do we have? You're being too polite!"

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Xu Damao then began to tell Xiao Shan about his visit to Li Huaide's house.

Of course, Xu Damao wasn't foolish enough to reveal that he had given gifts directly.

However, from the implication in Xu Damao's words, Xiao Shan knew that he had given Li Huaide a gift!

And the gift was quite generous!

Xiao Shan put down his wine glass and said to Xu Damao, "Brother Mao, there's something I need to tell you in advance, so you won't complain later that I didn't warn you!"

"Xiao Shan, you speak, I'm listening!" Xu Damao looked at Xiao Shan and said seriously.

In Xu Damao's memory, almost everything Xiao Shan said over the years had come true.

Therefore, Xu Damao naturally listened carefully to Xiao Shan's reminder.

Of course, whether you actually do it after hearing it is another matter entirely!

Xiao Shan looked at Xu Damao with a serious expression and said, "Brother Mao, after you get promoted, you can't be too high-profile, or you might trip and fall!"

"I said the same thing to my second uncle before, but it seems he didn't listen!"

Xu Damao nodded and patted his chest to assure Xiao Shan, "Xiao Shan, don't worry, I'm a cultured man, I won't be like Second Uncle who got his way!"

Looking at Xu Damao's confident assertions, Xiao Shan didn't believe him at all.

Liu Haizhong made the same promise back then, but what happened?

It's floating so high it's practically flying!

Given Xu Damao's personality, he'll only become even more arrogant than Liu Haizhong after his promotion.

However, Xiao Shan had already said what he needed to say, and what Xu Damao did next was his own business.

Because the next day was the weekend, Xiao Shan stayed at Xu Damao's place until almost 9:30 before going home.

When Xiao Shan returned home, Ding Qiunan was already asleep.

The next day, when Xiao Shan got up and washed up, he saw Qin Jingru, who had dressed up, walking out of the Jia family's house.

Watching Qin Jingru's disappearing figure, Xiao Shan smiled at He Yuzhu, who was washing up, and said, "Brother Zhu, it seems you'll soon be able to drink your apprentice's wedding wine!"

"Haha, I'm even more curious about how that grandson Xu Damao will feel when he finds out about Qin Jingru's marriage in a few days!" He Yuzhu said with a laugh. "Besides, that girl Yu Haitang is no simpleton. Judging from that grandson Xu Damao's behavior, he probably won't be able to tame her!"

Xiao Shan looked at He Yuzhu speechlessly.

At this moment, he was actually thinking about Xu Damao's reaction. They really are childhood enemies!

After chatting with He Yuzhu for a few minutes, Xiao Shan finished washing up and returned to the backyard.

About ten minutes later, Yu Haitang came to the courtyard to find Xu Damao.

He Yuzhu, who was strolling in the yard with his child in his arms, saw Yu Haitang and came over with a smile, saying, "Haitang's here. Are you here to see Xu Damao?"

"Okay!" Yu Haitang nodded as she looked at He Yuzhu who was leaning closer.

After pondering for a moment, He Yuzhu said to Haitang, "Haitang, you and Yushui are classmates, so as your older brother, I have to remind you that Xu Damao is no good!"

"If you're with him, you need to be careful, or you'll end up getting taken advantage of!"

Yu Haitang looked at He Yuzhu and said calmly, "Brother Zhu, how can you be so sure that I'll be the one who suffers a loss? In all my years, I've never met anyone who could make me suffer a loss!"

Without waiting for He Yuzhu to say anything more, Yu Haitang stepped into the backyard.

A short while later, Yu Haitang and Xu Damao also came out of the courtyard.

After finishing breakfast, Xiao Shan decided to go for a walk to digest his food.

Then, at the Intermediate People's Court, they encountered Qin Huairu walking out of her house with a stick.

Xiao Shan greeted her with a smile, "Sister-in-law, where are you headed?"

"An old man said to build a shed for the house, so I took the kids over to tidy it up." Qin Huairu couldn't contain her smile.

Xiao Shan nodded and looked at Bang Geng: "Bang Geng, you look like you've grown quite a bit taller these days!"

Banggeng glanced at Xiao Shan, but instead of greeting him as enthusiastically as before, he simply called Xiao Shan "Uncle".

Seeing Bang Geng's appearance, Xiao Shan couldn't help but frown.

I never expected that Bang Geng would change so much these days!

Meanwhile, at Beihai Park.

Qin Jingru and Ma Hua were chatting on chairs by the shore.

Just as the two were having a pleasant conversation, Xu Damao and Yu Haitang also appeared at Beihai Park.

Unfortunately, Xu Damao and Yu Haitang happened to be walking towards Qin Jingru and Ma Hua.

Xu Damao was having a pleasant chat with Yu Haitang when he suddenly spotted Qin Jingru sitting in front of him, chatting happily with Ma Hua.

Judging others by his own standards, Xu Damao immediately realized that Qin Jingru, like himself, had found a new partner before her divorce.

Otherwise, how come Qin Jingru agreed to a divorce as soon as he mentioned giving her money?

He originally thought he had dumped Qin Jingru, but now it seems that Qin Jingru cheated on him. How could Xu Damao possibly stand it?

Imagining himself being cheated on, Xu Damao walked up to Qin Jingru and yelled at her, "Qin Jingru, you slut, you've been secretly seducing men all along!"

As he spoke, Xu Damao reached out to hit Qin Jingru.

Ma Hua naturally couldn't let this happen, so he grabbed Xu Damao's hand and scolded, "Xu Damao, what are you doing?"

Because of Ho Yu-chu, MCA already disliked Koh Ta-mao.

Now that they see Xu Damao actually trying to harm his partner, MCA will naturally not tolerate it.

Qin Jingru never expected to run into Xu Damao here.

Qin Jingru was initially a little flustered, but when she saw that Xu Damao actually wanted to hit her, a surge of anger welled up in her heart: "Xu Damao, who do you think you are? We're divorced, it's none of your business who I find a partner for."

"You're so nosy, how come you haven't had a child of your own? You even said I can't have children, I think you're just born childless."

Qin Jingru's words struck Xu Damao right to the heart.

Xu Damao instantly flew into a rage: "Qin Jingru, you're asking for death!"

As he spoke, he lunged at Qin Jingru.

Unfortunately, Ma Hua held him back firmly: "Xu Damao, what are you doing? If you continue to act so unreasonably, I won't be polite to you!"

Yu Haitang watched with great interest.

She was a shrewd woman, and she wanted to see how Xu Damao would handle the situation.

If Xu Damao backs down, Yu Haitang plans to end the relationship.
