Chapter 103: Xu Damao is Crazy

"Old Lady, today I plan to buy a chicken back to stew for you, but you have to pay for the money and coupons. We only contribute the effort. When the time comes, you give us the chicken feathers, chicken gall, chicken liver, and the like. Give us some chicken soup too. Rest assured, we will definitely not move a piece of chicken meat," Yan Bugui patted his chest and said.

The Deaf Old Lady knew that the credibility of the Yan family, led by Yan Bugui, in this regard was guaranteed, but what the Deaf Old Lady wanted was the kind of old-age support that was rich and noble, not this kind of old-age support that was trivial every day.

Yan Bugui took the money and coupons and immediately left with a thief's smile. The Deaf Old Lady was so angry at Yan Bugui's stingy spirit that she sighed.

The Deaf Old Lady was most annoyed by this kind of calculating, but no matter how unwilling the Deaf Old Lady was, she had no choice, so she could only take out money and coupons to let Yan Bugui buy a chicken back to stew.

After He Yuzhu finished talking with Yangshi Lei, he went to the Rolling Mill. As soon as He Yuzhu arrived at his office and his butt hadn't sat firmly yet, the Rolling Mill's big loudspeaker rang.

"Feed feed, now broadcasting a broadcast, fellow workers please pay attention, fellow workers please pay attention, now broadcasting a broadcast."

"This is a letter of thanks from the Jiaodao Street Office, thanking He Yuzhu, Deputy Director of the Rolling Mill Canteen. Comrade He Yuzhu has donated to our Street Office twice, totaling four thousand three hundred yuan plus a small yellow fish."

"This donation is not only material support for us, but also spiritual encouragement. Comrade He Yuzhu's generosity not only makes our Street Office feel warm but also strengthens our determination to serve everyone well!"

"Here, I, on behalf of all colleagues in the Street Office, thank Comrade He Yuzhu for his strong support..."

Subsequently, the broadcast also conveyed the Rolling Mill leaders' praise for He Yuzhu and called on everyone to learn from He Yuzhu on the basis of their ability.

Finally, the broadcast also reported the matter of Xu Damao ruining He Yuzhu's blind date and severely criticized Xu Damao.

After Xu Damao heard the letter of thanks from the Street Office, he felt something was wrong. He was instinctively afraid that He Yuzhu would poke out the matter of last night. At the same time, Xu Damao was also constantly cursing He Yuzhu in his heart.

"Shazhu, Shazhu, you are really a big fool. Why donate so much money? Isn't it good to eat and drink well with so much money?" Xu Damao constantly cursed, using cursing to soothe his terrified heart.

However, things often go like this: the more you fear something, the more it comes.

Sure enough, after the broadcast finished broadcasting the praise for He Yuzhu, it announced what Xu Damao had done to everyone and severely criticized Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was immediately angry, his anger soaring to the sky, his anger rushing to the crown...

"Shazhu, that bastard, how dare he do this! How dare he? He is tearing his face off," Xu Damao flushed and couldn't help but roar angrily.

The people in the Propaganda Department couldn't help but look at Xu Damao, who was raging helplessly. The disdain in their eyes suddenly gave Xu Damao a feeling of having nowhere to hide.

Xu Damao, who couldn't stand this look, rushed out of the Propaganda Department and headed straight for the Rolling Mill kitchen.

As soon as Xu Damao ran out of the Propaganda Department, the people in the Propaganda Department whispered to each other, all full of disdain for Xu Damao.

It wasn't just the Propaganda Department that whispered; other departments were also the same. Some workshops directly and openly scolded Xu Damao for being immoral.

What Xu Damao did was indeed immoral. Whether young or old, they all hated Xu Damao to the bone and scolded Xu Damao for being immoral.

Xu Damao doing this not only broke through people's moral bottom line but also infringed on everyone's interests. Young people wanted to get married, and older people's children wanted to get married.

Who could guarantee that they didn't have someone they didn't see eye to eye with? If everyone learned from Xu Damao, it would be a mess.

To put it bluntly, you can do this kind of thing in secret, but you can't be caught, and even more so, you can't put it on the table.

Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu didn't think it was a big deal and put it directly on the table.

"Shazhu, you bastard! Get out here! Didn't you say that if I compensate you with money, this matter will turn the page? Why are you going back on your word?" Xu Damao rushed into the kitchen, found He Yuzhu, and couldn't help but roar angrily.

"This matter has turned the page, right? It turned the page on my side, but I didn't say I wouldn't poke this matter to the Street Office and the Rolling Mill. Even if I don't say it, there are plenty of people who will."

"Besides, what morality and rules are there to talk about when dealing with a bad guy like you? Going back on your word, stabbing in the back, turning your face and not recognizing people, etc., aren't these basic operations?"

"In the final analysis, I am also doing it for your own good. With the broadcast playing like this, everyone knows your glorious deeds, so they know that part of the money I donated came from you."

"The praise on the letter of praise has half of me and half of you. Praising me is praising you. When everyone says you are immoral, they will definitely laugh at me for being unlucky."

"So, don't be angry. You are miserable, I am even more miserable than you. You only lost money and were criticized, but my blind date was ruined by you," He Yuzhu said gloatingly.

Seeing that He Yuzhu not only had no guilt but was also talking endlessly there, Xu Damao could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

At this time, Xu Damao couldn't hear what He Yuzhu was saying at all. In Xu Damao's eyes, there was only He Yuzhu's mouth that kept 'ba ba ba'-ing.

Anger made Xu Damao ignore the combat power gap between himself and He Yuzhu.

"Ah! Shazhu! I'll kill you!" Xu Damao roared wildly, staring with red eyes and rushing towards He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu didn't beat Xu Damao up, but kept provoking Xu Damao with strange laughter, and ran out of the kitchen.

Xu Damao had been completely lost by anger. He only thought about beating He Yuzhu up and couldn't figure out why He Yuzhu wanted to run at all.

This formed an interesting picture.

He Yuzhu ran in front, turning his head from time to time to provoke, turning on the taunt skill to pull hatred with words, while Xu Damao chased behind, swearing to beat He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu just wanted to make things big.

In fact, He Yuzhu didn't need to make trouble, things were already very big.

As soon as the broadcast stopped, people discussed it. Now, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao were talking on the spot, so many people watching the excitement

They were not just watching the spectacle; they were also mocking Xu Damao, and some were even cursing Xu Damao at the top of their lungs.

"Help!" He Yuzhu saw Guo Dapiezi in the crowd suddenly let out a strange cry and pulled Guo Dapiezi over to use as a human shield.

Consumed by burning rage, Xu Damao's eyes were already bloodshot, reaching the point where he would kill anyone who stood in his way, be it man or Buddha.

Seeing someone blocking him from dealing with Shazhu, Xu Damao didn't say a word; he threw a punch and kicked out. This punch from Xu Damao landed on the bridge of Guo Dapiezi's nose. With a crisp "Crack—" sound, the bridge of Guo Dapiezi's nose was broken by Xu Damao, blood covered his face, and Guo Dapiezi instantly understood why the flowers were so red.

This kick from Xu Damao was something he had learned from He Yuzhu; this kick is called the "Liaoyin Kick," also known as the "Broken Descendants Kick."

Caught off guard, Guo Dapiezi took the full force of Xu Damao's kick and couldn't help but let out a miserable, earth-shattering scream of "Ow—" before falling to the ground and rolling around in agony.

"Hit him! Beat him for me! Beat him to death, and if he dies, it's on me." Guo Dapiezi pointed at Xu Damao and said to his apprentices.

Seeing their master beaten so miserably and having received his order, Guo Dapiezi's apprentices swarmed up and began punching and kicking Xu Damao.

Anger is a kind of force; it can make the originally cowardly become brave, and it can even strengthen a person's combat power.

However, no matter how it changes or strengthens, Xu Damao's combat power is limited, unless Xu Damao could open his genetic lock and, like the old lady saving her grandson, lift a sedan with one hand.

Unfortunately, there is no "unless."

Xu Damao was caught by Guo Dapiezi's apprentices and given a sound thrashing, which made him scream repeatedly; the immense pain brought Xu Damao back to his senses.

"It's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! Guo Dapiezi, I didn't mean to beat you, I was beating Shazhu!" Xu Damao shouted loudly while clutching his head and curling up on the ground to minimize the area being attacked.

"Misunderstanding your grandfather!" After recovering slightly, Guo Dapiezi had his apprentices help him up and then proceeded to kick Xu Damao repeatedly.

However, Guo Dapiezi was severely injured and could not exert force as he usually did; these kicks were like a tickle to Xu Damao.

Just then, the security personnel ran over and shouted for them to stop.

These security personnel were fresh blood and were not familiar with Guo Dapiezi, Xu Damao, and the others; it was exactly the time for them to establish their authority. Neither Guo Dapiezi nor Xu Damao dared to provoke the security department at this moment, otherwise, if they were beaten by the security department, they would have been beaten for nothing.

Guo Dapiezi and his apprentices obediently stopped, and seeing this, Xu Damao honestly climbed up from the ground.

Subsequently, He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, and Guo Dapiezi were taken to the security department for interrogation.

This interrogation was conducted jointly by the security department, the Rolling Mill Labor Union, and the factory office, specifically to prevent the security department from having sole power and causing situations where people were intentionally wronged or framed.

In fact, there was nothing to interrogate; the matter was laid out clearly before them. No matter how indignant Xu Damao acted, no matter how bitter and deep his hatred appeared, and no matter how aggrieved he looked, it was useless.

If they didn't know the truth, the people interrogating might have thought Xu Damao had suffered some great injustice.

In the end, He Yuzhu was released without charges; not only that, but Xu Damao also had to apologize to He Yuzhu.

"Forget it. You see the state Xu Damao is in—he's dying to eat me alive. I don't dare let him apologize. What if he gets desperate and hacks me to death with a knife?" He Yuzhu said provocatively.

"Shazhu, you bastard, you still want me to apologize? In your dreams! Even if you kill me, I won't apologize! Shazhu, you just wait, I will definitely kill you." Xu Damao roared crazily like a mad dog.

"Behave yourself!" The security personnel slammed the table, and only then did Xu Damao quiet down.

"Xu Damao, regardless of everything, what you did was underhanded. The cause of the matter lies with you; if you hadn't sabotaged Director He's blind date, none of this would have happened."

"You sabotaged Deputy Director He's blind date, so you don't allow him to retaliate? Where in the world is there such logic—that you are allowed to bully others, but they aren't allowed to resist?"

"What is the purpose of building our new world if not to prevent such behavior? Since you are unwilling to apologize, I can only report this to Deputy Factory Director Li and Deputy Factory Director Nie," the labor union leader said.

"I paid money! Last night, I not only apologized but also paid Shazhu five hundred yuan. This bastard Shazhu agreed perfectly well that the matter was settled. Who knew this bastard would turn around and tell the factory about it? Is this how a person acts? Can a person like this even be a leader?" Xu Damao said indignantly.

"Damao, I didn't tell the factory about this; I told Director Wang of the Street Office. You should be content; at least I didn't report it to the district or the city."

"Besides, the matter was settled, but the law doesn't state that just because it's settled, I can't spread the word about it, right?"

"If you can do the first, I can do the fifteenth. Don't feel aggrieved; although you lost money, you also became notorious," He Yuzhu said as if it were a matter of course.

The more smug He Yuzhu was, the crazier Xu Damao became!

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Shazhu, I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Xu Damao charged at He Yuzhu again like a mad dog.

However, this was the security department, and the security personnel directly handcuffed Xu Damao.

Seeing Xu Damao like this, the labor union leader couldn't help but shake his head.

"The matter is already very clear. Xu Damao was resentful that Deputy Director He publicized the dirty deeds he committed and became angry out of shame. In the end, it was just a verbal dispute. In Xu Damao's current state, I, as a labor union leader, cannot continue to mediate. You take Xu Damao and lock him up first; I will report the course of events, and the final punishment will be decided by Deputy Factory Director Li and Deputy Factory Director Nie," the labor union leader said.

Originally, such matters could be discussed between the labor union and the security department, but He Yuzhu is no longer the eighth-grade cook he once was; he is also the Deputy Director of the Canteen and has already stepped into the leadership ranks.

No matter how small the position, it is still the leadership ranks. Xu Damao's actions have already constituted the fact of a worker beating a leader. This precedent cannot be set; whether starting from the interests of the leadership ranks or from the perspective of the law, such matters must be handled strictly.

The labor union leader submitted the interrogation records. At this moment, Xu Damao felt a faint sense of lingering fear, but as soon as he saw He Yuzhu looking at him with a mocking expression, he became furious.

In the end, Li Huaide and Deputy Factory Director Nie discussed the matter at a meeting and imposed a severe punishment on Xu Damao.

First, Xu Damao was demoted from his original ninth-grade clerk (Administrative Twenty-Sixth Grade) all the way down, becoming a twelfth-grade clerk (Administrative Thirtieth Grade);

Second, Xu Damao was fined to clean the toilets for one month. If it weren't for the fact that Xu Damao had already compensated He Yuzhu five hundred yuan, Xu Damao would have had to pay He Yuzhu even more money;

Finally, Xu Damao was to compensate Guo Dapiezi fifteen yuan in total for medical expenses, nutritional expenses, and lost wages.

The reason the factory punished him so lightly was because Xu Damao had already compensated He Yuzhu five hundred yuan. If not for this point, even if the factory couldn't fire Xu Damao, they would have transferred him from the Propaganda Department to clean toilets until he retired.

Although the punishment for Xu Damao seemed light on the surface, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Xu Damao's career path was over. In the end, Xu Damao could only become a film projectionist, with no possibility of further advancement.

No one dared to use a person as despicable as Xu Damao. Being despicable is one thing, but being despicable and self-righteous about it is another. Who would dare to use such a person? Such a person has no loyalty to speak of and will stab you in the back at any moment.

"Shazhu, we're not finished!" Xu Damao roared viciously while cleaning the toilets.
