Chapter 1408: Damao's Contribution
The scorching sun is like fire, sweating like rain...
After successfully entering the Committee, Xu Damao couldn't wait to devote himself to work, actively leading the Workers' Inspection Team to ferret out the "bad people" hidden in the crowd. In just a few days, he achieved quite a few results and quickly became a man of the hour in this area.
In the office of the Workers' Inspection Team, Little Liu said to Deputy Team Leader Xiao Yuan in a low voice: "Brother Yuan, I heard that Xu Damao received praise from the factory leaders. Is this true?"
Xiao Yuan said: "I've heard these things. This Xu Damao is ruthless. In order to achieve merit, he doesn't recognize his six relatives, not even letting go of his ex-wife's relatives. He caught quite a few people and searched out quite a bit of property hidden by capitalists. You know what kind of person Factory Director Li is. Xu Damao doing this, can Factory Director Li not be happy?"
Little Liu said in a low voice: "Brother Yuan, I heard that Xu Damao often invites Factory Director Li and Vice Factory Director Xue out to drink and eat, and I also heard that he wants to be the number one in the Workers' Inspection Team. Then do you think it's possible for this Xu Damao to replace Section Chief Cao?"
Xiao Yuan said with disdain: "That's impossible. What level is Xu Damao? What level is Section Chief Cao? Xu Damao isn't even worthy of carrying Section Chief Cao's shoes. Xu Damao has achieved quite a bit of merit, but he has also offended quite a few people. And he is selfish, only caring about his own promotion and wealth, not caring about his brothers at all. Unlike Section Chief Cao, who cares about his subordinates, is kind, and values loyalty. No matter whose family in the factory encounters something, Section Chief Cao will extend a helping hand. Just like the wife of Little Han in the Security Section giving birth, lacking nutrition after birth, Section Chief Cao sent meat and flour. What kind of spirit is that, what kind of style is that? Look at Xu Damao again, when he is a team leader, he only knows how to bark orders and extort. He is nothing. He still wants to replace Section Chief Cao? Dreaming his spring and autumn dreams? Regardless of whether the factory leaders agree or not, anyway, I absolutely don't accept it."
Just as the two were talking, Xu Damao walked in with a gloomy face, sat on the chair without a word, and stared straight at the banner on the wall.
Thinking of Factory Director Li's perfunctory attitude, Xu Damao felt a burst of annoyance in his heart.
During this time, he was sending gifts and flattering, working hard and performing hard, just to go further, wanting to surpass Cao Weiguo, and also mix some director or section chief to be.
But he didn't expect that Factory Director Li, this dog thing, only took benefits and didn't do things, only saying nice things, but not giving any actual things.
I sent you so many gifts, can't you also promote me to be a deputy director of the Committee?
Dog-raised bastard!
Don't think I'm easy to bully?
If I get angry, even I am afraid of myself!
If you provoke me, I'll make you squat in the small black room too!
Sitting on the chair, Xu Damao clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
"Team leader, drink some tea."
Little Zhang from the Industrial Correction Team walked over with a cup of tea to curry favor, hoping to please Xu Damao, the "man of the hour," in the expectation that he might bask in some reflected glory and receive some special treatment in the future.
"Hmm."
Xu Damao took the tea coldly, having no mood to pay attention to this Little Zhang, and was thinking about how to climb up.
Factory Director Li is not sensible, so he can only find another way and walk the path of Vice Factory Director Xue more.
Just when everyone in the office had their own thoughts, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
Deputy Team Leader Xiao Yuan picked up the phone: "Director Deng, you are looking for Team Leader Xu? He is here, let him answer the phone, good."
Hearing this, Xu Damao hurriedly walked over and grabbed the phone: "Director Deng, I am Xu Damao, what do you want from me? Good, good, I'll be there immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Little Zhang asked eagerly: "Team leader, what does Director Deng want from you?"
Xu Damao said with a straight face: "Does Director Deng want from me need to be reported to you? Stay on the side, just do your own thing, don't ask around blindly, is the leader's business something a small person like you can know!"
Little Zhang was embarrassed and his face turned red, nodding and bowing repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, Leader, you criticized correctly, I will definitely conduct active self-criticism, actively correct, keep your teachings in mind, and will never commit again in the future."
Xu Damao nodded: "Hmm, your attitude of admitting mistakes is still good, go busy."
Little Zhang returned to his seat amidst the mocking glares of the team members. Xu Damao tidied up his Zhongshan suit and walked out of the office with his head held high.
Watching Xu Damao leave arrogantly, Xiao Yuan also got up and left the office, going straight to find Cao Weiguo to report this matter.
Since Xu Damao entered the Workers' Inspection Team, Cao Weiguo had rarely done things that would affect his "reputation," handing over all the dirty and tiring work to Xu Damao, this "active element," so that Xu Damao's limelight became more and more prosperous, becoming a red man in front of the factory leaders. On the contrary, Cao Weiguo rarely presided over the work of the Workers' Inspection Team, looking like he was being "cold-shouldered."
Hot and cold, it is inevitable that people like Little Liu and Little Zhang will have the idea that Cao Weiguo is not going to work and Xu Damao is going to be successful.
So after learning that Director Deng was looking for Xu Damao, Xiao Yuan immediately reported this matter to Cao Weiguo, no matter what would happen, so that Cao Weiguo could have a psychological preparation in advance.
Xiao Yuan arrived at Cao Weiguo's office and told the story of Director Deng and Xu Damao exactly as it was.
Cao Weiguo said lightly: "I know, keep an eye on Xu Damao and Director Deng, see what they are doing?"
Xiao Yuan nodded: "Yes!"
This Director Deng usually doesn't show his face, but Cao Weiguo never underestimates this person.
Because this person is in charge of party affairs, responsible for thinking, organization, and style construction, responsible for the education and management of the team... Even after the Committee was established, Director Deng retreated to the "second line" and did not participate in the daily work of the Red Star Steel Mill, but his position did not change, and his responsibilities naturally did not change. He was still a high-level leader of the Red Star Steel Mill.
On the other side, Xu Damao sat on the sofa, holding a teacup with excitement, respectfully listening to Director Deng's instructions: "Director Deng, I have remembered everything you said. Please rest assured, I will definitely handle the things you entrusted to me beautifully."
Director Deng took an envelope from his briefcase and handed it to Xu Damao with a smile: "This is a little bit of heart from Zhou Chongwen's family, don't decline, after all, this matter still needs you to worry more."
Xu Damao put down the teacup in his hand and took the envelope excitedly and nervously: "Leader, how can I be embarrassed, speaking of which, this Zhou Chongwen was caught by me. If I had known earlier that Zhou Chongwen was your distant relative, even if the knife was on my neck, I wouldn't have moved a hair of Zhou Chongwen."
Director Deng smiled: "Team Leader Xu, you catching Zhou Chongwen is your duty. Don't have any psychological burden. If this Zhou Chongwen has a problem, regardless of whether he is my relative, he should be caught, and he must be strictly investigated and punished. Team Leader Xu, you must keep your mission in mind, firm your stance, and don't let down the trust of the country and the organization in you. You must not put private interests above public ones. Of course, if Zhou Chongwen has no problem, then he should be released after the investigation is over."
Xu Damao quickly said: "Right, right, right! I, Xu Damao, must keep your teachings in mind, keep my mission in mind, firm my stance, will not let go of a bad person, and will never wrong a good person. After my repeated investigations, I have determined that Comrade Zhou Chongwen has no problems, and his morality is noble, his style is excellent, and he is a good comrade with both morality and ability. This time catching Comrade Zhou Chongwen was entirely because of malicious reports from some bad elements. Later, I will personally send Comrade Zhou Chongwen home."
Director Deng smiled brightly: "Team Leader Xu, you are very good. After you go back, write an application, the organization needs excellent talents like you."
Xu Damao stood up and bowed excitedly: "Thank you, Leader, for your cultivation. I, Xu Damao, will never live up to your promotion grace."
Is this the beauty of holding power!
Director Deng, who has always been high above, condescended to ask!
Not only can you get benefits, but you can also earn the leader's favor!
It's simply too cool!
Hahaha!
Sure enough, hard work pays off!
I, Xu Damao, am also a person of the organization from now on!
Cao Weiguo! Li Huaide!
The me of today, you look down on, the me of tomorrow, you can't climb high.
With Director Deng's favor, and then taking down the background-deep Vice Factory Director Xue, I will soon trample you all under my feet.
