Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Soon, Xu Damao arrived at Xiaoshan's office.

After entering, Xu Damao looked at Xiao Shan with some curiosity and asked, "Deputy Factory Director Xiao, did you want to see me?"

It must be said that Xu Damao does have some emotional intelligence.

I know how to address Xiao Shan by his job title when at work.

"Brother Da Mao, please sit down!" Xiao Shan stood up and said to Xu Da Mao with a smile.

After seeing Xu Damao sit down opposite him, Xiao Shan picked up the teapot on his desk and poured Xu Damao a cup of tea.

Seeing the tea that Xiao Shan handed over, Xu Damao quickly stood up to accept it.

After sitting down again, Xiao Shan looked at Xu Damao and asked with a smile, "Brother Damao, how have you been doing in the disciplinary team lately?"

"That's about it!" Xu Damao said with a somewhat forced expression.

Clearly, he wasn't doing very well in the disciplinary team!

That's normal, though. He joined the disciplinary team with the goal of becoming its leader.

However, despite working in the disciplinary team for so long, Li Huaide showed no intention of promoting him, and he remains an ordinary member.

Not long ago, his wife, Yu Haitang, was promoted one level in the publicity department. No wonder Xu Damao was in a bad mood!

Seeing Xu Damao's expression, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Brother Damao, do you want to be a leader?"

"Of course I want to!" Xu Damao said without hesitation. "What? Deputy Factory Director Xiao, do you have any connections?"

Xiao Shan looked at Xu Damao and said slowly, "It's like this, Brother Damao, I have some documents from the purchasing department here. Could you take them back and process them for me?"

"And this stack is a list of people who are interested in joining the two newly added purchasing sections of the purchasing department. Could you help me review their information and pick out the honest and hardworking people among them?"

After a brief pause, Xiao Shan dumped all the documents on the table into Xu Damao's arms: "If you can get these done and give them to me within two days, then there's hope for you to become a leader."

With Xu Damao's shrewdness, he instantly gleaned a great deal of information from Xiao Shan's words.

Xu Damao immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Deputy Factory Director Xiao, you've really chosen the right person to entrust this matter to me! I, Xu Damao, may not have many other skills, but I'm quite good at judging people!"

"Don't worry, I'll thoroughly screen these lists for you!"

Seeing Xu Damao's confident demeanor, Xiao Shan nodded and said, "Brother Damao, I'm leaving this matter to you!"

"Remember, this matter must not be made public, lest some people find out that you weren't selected for the purchasing department and secretly try to sabotage its establishment!"

Xu Damao immediately put on a serious face and said, "Deputy Factory Director Xiao, don't worry. Anyone who tries to trip up our purchasing department is going against me, Xu Damao!"

Xu Damao already considers himself part of the purchasing department.

This is understandable. He finally had a chance to climb the ladder, so naturally he wanted to seize it!

After tidying up the table a little, Xiao Shan got up and left work early.

Today is the day we agreed to have dinner with my father-in-law.

After arriving at Ding Qiunan's father-in-law's house, Ding Qiunan's sister-in-law kept asking Ding Qiunan about having a second child.

Upon learning that Ding Qiunan had recently had a poor appetite, her sister-in-law immediately brought a lot of homemade candied plums for Ding Qiunan to take home and eat.

And so, the Xiaoshan couple continued to eat and take things from their father-in-law.

Before leaving, Xiao Shan's father-in-law, Ding Dade, whispered, "Women are very sensitive when they are pregnant. You must take good care of Nan Nan during this time and don't make her angry!"

"Don't worry, Dad, I'll take good care of her!" Xiao Shan said to Ding Dade with a smile.

Back at the courtyard house, Ding Qiunan shared the candied plums she had brought back with Li Caijuan.

Li Caijuan also really liked it.

While everyone in the courtyard was watching TV at Xiao Shan's house, He Yuzhu invited Xiao Shan and his wife to his house for a late-night snack.

For his wife's nutrition, He Yuzhu prepared late-night snacks for Li Caijuan every day.

Since Ding Qiunan is now pregnant, He Yuzhu naturally wouldn't forget her share.

Even Xiao Shan joined in the meal.

"Honey, do you like this?" Xiao Shan put a piece of spicy cabbage on Ding Qiunan's plate.

Ding Qiunan glared at Xiao Shan: "Eat whatever you want, sour for a boy, spicy for a girl. I'm having a girl this time, are you satisfied now!"

Seeing this, He Yuzhu silently put a piece of spicy cabbage on Li Caijuan's plate and looked at her expectantly.

But all she got in return was a glare from Li Caijuan.

The next day, Xiao Shan went home from get off work and played with Xiao Jingyan in the yard.

Suddenly, Yu Haitang's roar came from Xu Damao's house: "Xu Damao, you son of a bitch, I'll fight you to the death today!"

Xiao Shan was taken aback. What was Xu Damao and his wife up to this time?

Just as Xiao Shan was wondering what was going on, Xu Damao's door was violently pushed open, and Xu Damao ran out of his house.

Behind Xu Damao, Yu Haitang, wielding a gleaming kitchen knife, followed closely.

"What are you doing! Put the knife down right now!" Xiao Shan, carrying Xiao Jingyan, stepped forward and angrily rebuked Yu Haitang, "Yu Haitang, if you want to chop, go home and do it. Don't be making a scene in the yard with a knife!"

Yu Haitang stopped chasing Xu Damao when she heard Xiao Shan's voice.

Reluctantly, he put down the kitchen knife in his hand: "Deputy Factory Director Xiao, you are a leader in the factory, you have to stand up for me!"

"This Xu Damao hasn't been home for the past few days, he must be seeing someone else!"

As Yu Haitang spoke, she glared fiercely at Xu Damao.

"Brother Da Mao, what's going on?" Hearing Yu Haitang's words, Xiao Shan looked at Xu Da Mao with some confusion.

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's question, Xu Damao quickly explained, "Deputy Factory Director Xiao, I really didn't do anything reckless outside; she was just making wild guesses!"

As he spoke, Xu Damao stamped his foot anxiously: "Haitang, I've really been busy with work at the factory these past two days, it's really not that I'm seeing someone else!"

Seeing that Yu Haitang still looked unconvinced, Xu Damao looked at Xiao Shan with a pleading expression: "Deputy Factory Director Xiao, please be my witness, let's go to my house to talk!"

When Xiao Shan heard that Xu Damao wanted him to testify, he immediately guessed that Xu Damao had been working on documents for him at the factory these past two days and had been coming home late, which led to Yu Haitang's misunderstanding.

If that's the case, then he really needs to clarify things for Xu Damao.

Back at his home, Xu Damao invited Xiao Shan to sit down and then began to complain to him with a bitter face: "Deputy Factory Director Xiao, I've been working on the tasks you assigned me these past few days. You told me not to tell anyone, so I didn't tell anyone. I never expected this woman to insist that I'm having an affair!"

As he spoke, Xu Damao pointed to his neck: "Deputy Factory Director Xiao, look, look at how she scratched me!"

Upon closer inspection, Xiao Shan noticed several fresh scratches on Xu Damao's neck and coughed awkwardly twice, saying, "Brother Damao, you've done a pretty good job keeping this a secret; you didn't even tell your wife!"

"I was just resolutely carrying out your orders!" Xu Damao said seriously. "I had almost finished processing those documents and was thinking of sending them to you tomorrow, but I didn't expect this woman to cause such a scene when I came back today!"

Yu Haitang also realized something was wrong: "So you've been handling the work that Deputy Factory Director Xiao assigned you these past two days?"

“That’s right, the factory’s purchasing department will be completed in the next couple of days, and I plan to ask Brother Da Mao to come and help me! You’re also a factory employee, so you should know that many people want to join the purchasing department. That’s why I told Brother Da Mao not to tell anyone! I didn’t expect it to cause a misunderstanding between you and your husband. It’s my fault!” Xiao Shan explained to Yu Haitang with a smile.

"Oh dear! Why didn't you say so sooner? If I had known earlier that you were working for Deputy Factory Director Xiao, I definitely wouldn't have made a fuss!" Yu Haitang looked at Xu Damao with a reproachful expression.

She naturally knew that if her husband really did go to work in the purchasing department with Xiao Shan in the future, then there would be hope for the future!

Just look at He Yuzhu and you'll know!

Because he had always followed Xiaoshan around, he became the canteen manager at a young age!

Yu Haitang used to often criticize Xu Damao, saying that he always had a good relationship with Xiao Shan, but Xiao Shan never took special care of him!

Unexpectedly, Xiaoshan is actually taking care of Xu Damao now!

"What do you know about men's affairs, you woman!" Xu Damao finally felt he had regained some of his dignity as the head of the household, and scolded Yu Haitang with a stern face, "Deputy Factory Director Xiao said this matter must be kept secret, so I definitely can't tell anyone!"

Xiao Shan naturally knew that Xu Damao was deliberately saying these words to him.

However, Xu Damao's current performance still satisfies him quite a bit.

"Alright, the misunderstanding's been cleared up. Da Mao, bring the documents and report to the purchasing office tomorrow!" Xiao Shan glanced at Xu Da Mao. "From now on, talk things out with your wife properly. Don't resort to knives and guns in the yard all the time! There are so many elderly people and children in the yard. If someone gets hurt, you two can't afford to pay for it!"

"Deputy Factory Director Xiao is right!" Xu Damao quickly chimed in, "It's all because you, woman, need to be taught a lesson!"

If it were in the past, if Xu Damao dared to speak to Yu Haitang like that, Yu Haitang would have scratched him so badly that even his own parents wouldn't recognize him.

However, now that Xu Damao is going to work for Xiaoshan, Yu Haitang naturally gives Xu Damao face.

She was afraid that her husband would leave a weak impression on Xiao Shan and that he would no longer be valued by him.

Xiao Shan gave Xu Damao a few more instructions, telling him to work honestly and be a down-to-earth person in the purchasing department from now on!

If he hears any bad rumors about Xu Damao, then Xu Damao will have no choice but to go back to the Ministry of Health and continue sweeping the streets.

Xu Damao nodded repeatedly to show that he understood and assured Xiao Shan that he could rest assured.

After Xiao Shan left, Yu Haitang immediately stepped forward with a smile and massaged Xu Damao's shoulders: "Damao, why didn't you tell me about this sooner? You made me look like such a fool in front of Deputy Factory Director Xiao!"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes at Yu Haitang: "Didn't you hear? Deputy Factory Director Xiao said this matter can't be publicized! You're the factory's announcer, the loudspeaker, how could I dare tell you! If I did, wouldn't everyone in the factory know tomorrow?"

Yu Haitang was not angry at all at Xu Damao's sarcastic remarks. Instead, she massaged Xu Damao's shoulders even more vigorously: "If you follow Deputy Factory Director Xiao, will you be able to become a leading cadre in the future?"

Xu Damao snorted through his nostrils: "Of course! If Deputy Factory Director Xiao asked me to handle documents, it means that once the purchasing department opens, I don't think I'll be an ordinary purchasing agent!"

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Yu Haitang immediately smiled like a flower.

Yu Haitang always thought that since she was the most beautiful girl in the steel mill, her husband should naturally be better than others.

Unfortunately, Xu Damao was not ambitious in the past, which allowed her to hear a lot of gossip behind her back while working in the propaganda department.

Now that Xu Damao finally has a chance to climb the ladder, how could she not be happy?

This proves that Yu Haitang's judgment of people was correct!

Looking at the smug Yu Haitang, Xu Damao thought to himself, "After all this time, I can finally be tough at home for once: Once I become a leader in the purchasing department, I'll take you to the department store to buy that floral dress you've been eyeing!"

"My husband is so great!" Yu Haitang gave Xu Damao a big kiss on the right cheek. "I'll never be mean to you again!"

Three days later, the purchasing department was officially established!

Xiao Shan arrived at the purchasing office building early.

By this time, quite a few purchasing staff had arrived at the office building to see what their new office environment was like!

Xiaoshan's office is on the second floor, and it is the largest office in the entire office building.

After he entered the office building, purchasing staff kept greeting him.

Xiao Shan responded to each of the purchasing agents' greetings with a smile.

Chapter 498, He Yuzhu is Jealous of Xu Damao! (Please Subscribe!)

Upon entering his office, Xiao Shan's first action was to try out the black leather sofa.

After sitting down, Xiao Shan felt pretty good.

It's at least more comfortable than the sofa in my old office.

After enjoying the sofa, Xiao Shan sat up straight at his desk and began working on today's documents.

Today is the first day that the purchasing department has been established. Most of the employees have gone to hand over the factory's supplies to the logistics department.

Once the factory's existing materials are registered, they will be handed over to Xiaoshan for inspection before being registered and put into storage.

Furthermore, in the future, the materials purchased by the purchasing staff will no longer be registered and stored at the logistics department, but at the purchasing department.

From now on, all departments will need to go through the purchasing department to receive supplies.

Therefore, the purchasing department's work in the factory will remain very important and demanding in the future.

However, all of these are managed by subordinates, and Xiao Shan, as the leader, only needs to supervise.

Of course, being the head of the purchasing department isn't an easy job.

If any problems arise in the procurement department, the first person to be held accountable is Xiao Shan, the head of the department.

However, Xiao Shan believes that even if the purchasing department makes a small mistake, other departments will not want to cause trouble for the purchasing department.

After all, all applications for supplies will have to go through the purchasing department in the future, and the purchasing department will become the main target of other departments' currying favor.

When it was time to start work, people gradually entered the factory.

Naturally, everyone saw the notice of the establishment of the purchasing department, as well as the list of the leaders of the purchasing department and the two newly added purchasing staff in the steel rolling mill's bulletin board.

When they saw that Xiao Shan was the head of the purchasing department, everyone remained very calm.
