Chapter 19: An Unexpected Request
Not long waited, Director Li came to the hotel in a green jeep. Xu Damao understood that Director Li came by car on purpose in order to save face.
This has to make Xu Damao sigh that Director Li is indeed a man. This is what a humane society looks like.
Just like those high-EQ bosses in later generations, no matter how hypocritical they are, they will also say that the company belongs to everyone and needs everyone to work together.
Only such a stupid boss will say: If you love to do it, if you don't do it, you don't do it, some people will do it. This kind of person may be proud of the spring breeze for a while, and may be proud of the spring breeze in the future, there is no way, this is the reality.
Good people don't pay for their lives, and the scourge will last for thousands of years, but no matter what, it can't change the nature of their stupidity.
It's not that they don't report it, the time has not come, and many times, it's just a good wish in people's hearts.
After a while, Director Zhu, Deputy Director Ma, and Instructor Niu from the next jurisdiction came straight to Quanjude with more than 20 mouths, and after seeing Xu Damao and Liu Lan standing at the door from a distance, they hurriedly walked quickly.
Those who knew that they were going to a banquet, and those who didn't know thought they were going to fight wolves.
At this time, Liu Lan's role was revealed, Liu Lan warmly greeted the non-leaders and organized them to sit down, while Xu Damao took Director Zhu, Deputy Director Ma, and Instructor Niu to the established private room.
Naturally, a leader of the level of Director Li can't go out to greet him, and letting him take the initiative to wait is already giving Director Zhu enough face to them, no matter what, Director Li is also a deputy department-level cadre, and Director Zhu is also a section-level cadre, which is too far away.
This would have been unimaginable in the afterlife.
Director Li is a veteran of dinner, so he is naturally comfortable with this kind of occasion. At this time, it showed one of Director Li's advantages, he could take the initiative to lower his identity, and he easily mingled with Director Zhu and them.
"Damao, today is your home field, you express it first." After a brief greeting, Director Li proposed.
Xu Damao didn't play the previous set of one big and three small, and two hundred and fifty-one, which would certainly set off the atmosphere of the wine game, but it was a bit self-willing.
Xu Damao changed a set of toasts, and came with a set of toasts from one to ten. At this time, people have never seen such a toast with good words, and their eyes lit up and applauded again and again.
"Where is this, if you see the banquet assistants from all over the world in the future, and they say toasts, then it is called a skyscraper, if you don't drink yourself, you will be sorry for your conscience." Xu Damao said secretly in his heart.
It's easy to say that the atmosphere is set off, and for a while, the plans are staggered, and it doesn't take long for them to start calling them brothers.
Xu Damao was really glad that he met a leader like Director Li, and he was willing to give up his identity, and he called these people brothers, if he was replaced by Director Yang, it would be strange for him to take care of you.
When the wine was hot, Xu Damao once again keenly sensed that these people did not blame themselves for the stupid pillar, and Xu Damao faintly felt that they seemed to have something to ask for him, and his words were mostly sought after.
Xu Damao glanced at Director Li without a trace. At this glance, Xu Damao determined what he was thinking.
Although these people have also been tested for a long time and are old oilers in the wine field, they are far worse than Director Li, who has reached the realm of returning to the basics, and can see what they think at a glance.
Director Li then gave Xu Damao a look, and then, after the big guy drank a few more glasses, Director Li said: "No, no, no, old, the body can't bear it, it will be you young people in the future, you young people should communicate more." ”
After some politeness and humility, Director Li Shi Shiran left.
Director Li's trip, first, let Xu Damao find out their thoughts, after all, their actions were a little weird; The second is to ask Xu Damao to quickly stuff the money and end the matter.
Stuffing money is also a technical job, no matter how rampant Xu Damao is, he can't stuff money for Director Niu in front of Director Li, unless Director Niu is Director Li's henchmen.
As soon as Director Li left, the atmosphere was not only not dull, but more relaxed, and after a few more glasses of wine, Xu Damao had not yet found a chance to stuff money with the topic, but Director Zhu took the initiative to speak.
"Brother Damao, we all understand your situation, we understand what you mean, we also feel your sincerity, Brother Damao broke the bill today, come, I salute Brother Damao." After Director Zhu finished speaking, he took the wine in the cup and drank it all.
"Director Zhu is polite, this is as it should be, and I will have to trouble Director Zhu in the future." Xu Damao said.
"Da Mao, you're outside, call brother." Director Zhu said.
"It's all your own people, Da Mao, you have seen the outside, and you don't punish yourself for three cups to apologize to your brother Zhu." Deputy Director Ma said with a smile.
"Brother Zhu, I was wrong, I punished myself with three cups." Xu Damao hurriedly said and drank three cups in a row.
"Good amount of alcohol! Come, Brother Damao, let's have a toast too. After Deputy Director Ma finished speaking, he also took the wine in the cup and drank it all.
Xu Damao could only accompany him, after Deputy Director Ma finished, he was the cow instructor, and after the cow instructor was finished, he didn't know how they greeted his subordinates, and their subordinates came to toast Xu Damao in turn.
In the name of it, thank you Xu Damao for your hospitality and so on.
Xu Damao understands that this is clearly trying to get himself drunk, although his physique is not the same as before, but he can't stand so many people pouring alcohol.
"Brother Zhu, Brother Ma and Brother Niu, there are no outsiders now, if you have anything to say, brother, I will definitely do what I can do." Xu Damao hurriedly said.
In Xu Damao's view, all he can do is the identity of a film projectionist, do they want to let themselves show them a movie?
That's not right, if you really want to show a movie, they just say hello to the rolling mill.
"Brother Damao, my face is dull when I talk about this, my brother is incompetent, he can't take care of his brothers, I'm not afraid of Brother Damao's jokes, it's been a year, it's been a year, so I can have a full meal full of oil and water without any psychological pressure." Director Zhu said with a sad face.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Brother Zhu, I don't read much, don't lie to me, isn't the famine over? Even if you haven't passed, your unit has so much extra money, how can it be short of oil and water? Xu Damao said incredulously.
"Brother Damao, don't you know, we are just a small street police station, and we are naturally incomparable with your family's big rolling mill."
"Besides, the times are different, the new world, the new atmosphere, and the previous set of eating and taking cards will not work. If you still dare to play the previous set, it is purely looking for death. Director Zhu said.
Xu Damao nodded, this time period is not compared to before, nor is it compared to the future, whether it is the previous thirty years, or the next thirty years, if you want to say that a unit like theirs lacks oil and water, it is purely because they have not woken up.
At this time in time, the workers are the big brothers, people sharpen their heads and want to go to the factory, they are stuck at the most difficult point in time;
In the future, people will break their heads and go to units like theirs instead of factories, which is the characteristic of the times.
"Then it won't be so miserable, right, everyone has a ration, and they can still be hungry?" Xu Damao was puzzled.
"Brother Da Mao, you're on the point. Everyone is rationed, and they can't be hungry, even if they drag their families with their mouths, they can barely make ends meet. ”
"But most of the people who do our business, except for a few clerical jobs, have to do manual labor. Although our manual labor is different from the manual labor in your rolling mill, the degree of danger is different. Deputy Director Ma continued.
"Indeed, your work is too dangerous." Xu Damao nodded.
At this time period, the society is not too stable, and even Xu Damao has to bring a gun when he goes to the countryside to show movies, not to mention them?
"So, it's not enough for us to barely get enough food and clothing, we have to have oil and water in our stomachs. This physical labor consumption is too great, and there is no oil and water in the stomach to hold it at all. Sitting in the office of the clerical function to support, some of us in the field can't do it. ”
"Brother Da Mao, let me tell you the truth, don't look at us outside, it's just gold; It is said that we have a lot of extra money, but in fact, our extra money can only come from the black market, but we can get less from the black market. ”
"Let's not say that if you want to end the black market, you need to take joint action, and most of the profits will be scored, just say that everyone knows the black market, and the top also turns a blind eye, this kind of action can't happen every day."
"So, our brothers discussed it and wanted to ask Brother Da Mao for a favor. This is not a big Mao brother has to go to the countryside to show movies every month, can you go to the countryside to show movies at the same time, help us buy some unplanned things. Director Zhu finally said what he wanted.
"Can I purchase enough to meet your requirements? Why don't you buy it yourself? Xu Damao asked strangely.
