The next day, the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill posted a notice regarding Zhang Zhifei's proposed appointment as a leading cadre at the department level.
Zhang Zhifei has received congratulations from many acquaintances in the past few days. There are still many people among the workers who don't know about his promotion, but within the agency, everyone knows.
Seven days later, Yang Maode, as party committee secretary, had a pre-appointment talk with Zhang Zhifei. The core idea was that the Publicity Department was the external face of the steel rolling mill, and Zhang Zhifei must grasp the working principles and do a good job in publicity.
Zhang Zhifei said that he must work hard to complete various tasks assigned by his superiors under the leadership of the party. Anyway, these are useless conversations.
After the pre-appointment talk, the steel rolling mill office issued documents and the radio also announced that Zhang Zhifei will serve as the head of the Publicity Section.
"Da Mao, what's wrong with you?" Xu Damao was chatting in the Publicity Department. When he heard the broadcast, he suddenly stood up.
"Zhang Zhifei, the new chief of the publicity department, lives in the same compound as me and is the boss of our compound."
"Then there is hope for you." Everyone doesn't know that Xu Damao is crazy about being promoted. It's just that he is not as obvious and has low emotional intelligence as Liu Haizhong.
"Where are you going?" another propaganda officer asked Xu Damao.
"I have something to go out for." Xu Damao hurriedly left the Publicity Department. He was going to look for some rare items, ask Nan Yi to cook a table of delicious food, and treat Zhang Zhifei to dinner.
In the afternoon, Zhang Zhifei was riding a bicycle with Yang Manli. As soon as he entered the compound, he was blocked by Xu Damao.
"Master, if you are free tonight, may I treat you to dinner?" Xu Damao said flatteringly.
"Okay." Zhang Zhifei thought for a while and agreed. Xu Damao had shown movies in the steel rolling mill for many years and was very familiar with the Publicity Department, which would also help him understand the Publicity Department.
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I'll call you when the meal is ready." Xu Damao said doggedly.
Zhang Zhifei nodded and walked home.
Yan Bugui saw that Xu Damao invited Zhang Zhifei but not himself.
Wanting to show his presence, he stood in front of Xu Damao.
Xu Damao was about to leave after seeing Zhang Zhifei leaving. He also saw Yan Bugui's actions, but he did not say anything and was about to go around.
"I mean Damao, you're pretending not to see me, a big man like me." Yan Bugui saw that Xu Damao was about to leave, and if he didn't say anything, he would have nothing to do with the evening treat, so he stopped him and asked.
"Teacher Yan, if you have nothing to do, go home and get busy. I have important things to do!" Xu Damao didn't want to talk to Yan Bugui.
"Da Mao, you dislike the poor and love the rich. Seeing that I am no longer the third master in the courtyard, you don't even ask me to treat guests." Yan Bugui said angrily.
"I'm just going to invite you alone tonight, so don't think about it. I'll invite you someday." Xu Damao didn't finish his words.
"You want to see him for something?" Yan Bugui asked in a low voice.
"Young Master is now the head of our Publicity Department, and I can't express my opinion."
"He has been promoted again. What rank are you at?" Yan Bugui asked curiously.
"Zhengke."
"Oh my god, isn't this more important than our principal's official position?"
"What do you think, so don't think about it tonight. If I am happy, maybe I can also become a leader."
"Then he's not allowed to treat guests?" Yan Bugui kept saying that he was in the same business.
"Then go ahead and tell him." Xu Damao said to Yan Bugui, not far or close to him, waiting for Nan Yi.
"Master Nan, you are finally back. I would like to ask you to cook for me tonight, okay?" Xu Damao saw Nan Yi and hurriedly greeted him.
"No problem." Nan Yi agreed. Not only could he earn two yuan for a table of food, but he could also have a meal and drink. Since marrying Liang Ladi, his food quality has dropped sharply.
"Teacher Yan, Xu Damao's grandson invited Nan Yi to cook. Who are you planning to entertain?" Silly Zhu asked doubtfully.
"The first master of our courtyard." Yan Bugui was not in a good mood and said to Silly Zhu angrily as he did not enjoy the meal.
"Xu Damao, my grandson, is a sly and flattering person. He is not a good person at first glance. If we leave it to the past, he is definitely a traitor."
Silly Zhu thought for a while and then said: "Zhang Zhifei's grandson is not a good person. They all live in the same hospital. He just sent the "eldest uncle" to a labor camp. Is he still a human being?"
"Silly Zhu, it's Jia Zhang's credit for Lao Yi to go to the labor camp. If you have any opinions, you can't make up any nonsense." After knowing that Zhang Zhifei was a senior leader, Yan Bugui had already plucked his abacus several times and wanted to pass Zhang Zhifei. , find a job for your children.
"Shit, if he hadn't talked so much, nothing would have happened later."
As Sha Zhu was talking, He Yuyu came in from the door. She was originally going to say hello to Sha Zhu, but she heard what Sha Zhu said. You must know that what Yi Zhonghai took away was his sister's child support. How could he do this? say.
He Yuyu stared at Shazhu for a few seconds, as if he wanted to remember this person.
Silly Zhu also saw He Yuyu. Although the two parted ways now, Silly Zhu still liked his sister and treated her well.
It was only later that the deaf old lady brainwashed him so that he no longer treated his sister as a dish. Now that he is like this, he has more or less a hint of repentance.
He Yuyu, Zhang Zhiguo, and Liu Tingting left without saying hello to Shazhu. They all looked down on Shazhu and thought that this person had ideological problems.
In the evening, Xu Damao's house in the backyard.
"Chief Zhang, please sit down quickly. Nanyi's food will be ready soon. Ezi, make a cup of tea for Section Chief Zhang." Xu Damao said enthusiastically.
Lou Xiao'e couldn't bear to see Xu Damao's dog-legged look, but now that there were Zhang Zhifei and Nan Yi at home, she couldn't get angry, so she could only follow Xu Damao's instructions and make a cup of tea for Zhang Zhifei.
"Here." Lou Xiao'e put her feelings for Xu Damao on Zhang Zhifei's head and was very unfriendly when she placed the teacup.
Zhang Zhifei pretended not to see it, but Lou Xiao'e had all his emotions written on his face.
I was extremely dissatisfied with just a few words carved on my face.
She could hide almost nothing from others and was not wary of others.
"Thank you!" Regardless of whether she was emotional or not, Zhang Zhifei pretended not to see it.
"Da Mao, the food is ready, can it be served?" Nan Yi shouted.
"That's it." Xu Damao stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen to serve the food, while Lou Xiao'e continued to sit steadily.
Zhang Zhifei looked at Lou Xiao'e and thought that it was Xu Damao. Others might not treat her like this.
However, she and Xu Damao were a couple after all, and Xu Damao should not have reported the Lou family. This was a typical ideological problem.
Xu Damao prepared six dishes and one soup today. After being handled by Nan Yi's hands, the taste was immediately different and fragrant.
Nan Yi packed two lunch boxes and left, leaving only Zhang Zhifei and Xu Damao.
"Chief Zhang, let's eat some vegetables." Xu Damao attentively gave Zhang Zhifei a piece of braised pork.
"Da Mao, don't call me, I'll do it myself."
"Come, drink."
…
"Chief Zhang, I promise to hit wherever you point me from now on." Xu Damao said with a big tongue.
Xu Damao was addicted to food. He didn't have much capacity for alcohol, so he kept drinking. After a while, he got drunk and started talking intermittently.
Zhang Zhifei also had enough to eat and drink, and had no intention of staying any longer. He was not ready to stir up trouble.
"Okay, Damao, we have a long way to go. I'm too drunk and need to rest."
Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao with a look of disgust. She felt that Xu Damao was too philistine.
"Ezi, go and see Section Chief Zhang off...I, I'm fine, can I still drink?"
Zhang Zhifei looked at Xu Damao's drunken appearance and whispered to Lou Xiao'e: "I will go by myself, and Xu Damao will be left to you."
Zhang Zhifei left Xu Damao's house and walked towards the middle courtyard. When passing by the middle courtyard, he found Qin Huairu actually washing clothes.
"Qin Huairu, are you still doing laundry so late?" Zhang Zhifei couldn't help but say hello when they met.
"Well, it's the uncle! The child is naughty and there's nothing we can do about it." Qin Huairu looked at Zhang Zhifei and continued to wash clothes with her head down.
Zhang Zhifei looked at Qin Huairu's charming body wrapped in clothes. He would be in trouble if he got involved in it. He shook his head and walked home.
