Is this true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xiao Brother Yuan said: \"I've heard about these things. Xu Daomao is ruthless. In order to make contributions, he doesn't recognize his own relatives, not even letting go of his ex-wife's relatives, arresting many people and searching out many properties hidden by capitalists. You know what kind of person Factory Director Li is. With Xu Daomao doing this, can Factory Director Li not be happy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xiao Liu whispered: \"Brother Brother Yuan, I heard that Xu Daomao often invites Factory Director Li and Deputy Factory Director Xue out to drink and eat, and I also heard that he wants to be the number one of the Workers' Inspection Team. Then do you think it's possible for this Xu Daomao to replace Section Chief Cao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xiao Brother Yuan said with disdain: \"That's impossible. What level is he, Xu Daomao? What level is Section Chief Cao? Xu Daomao isn't even worthy of carrying Section Chief Cao's shoes. Xu Daomao has made many contributions, but he hasn't offended fewer 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 loyal. No matter whose family in the Workers' Inspection Team encounters something, Section Chief Cao will lend a helping hand. Just like the wife of Xiao Han from the Security Section giving birth, lacking nutrition after childbirth, Section Chief Cao sent meat and flour. What kind of spirit is that, what kind of style is that? Look at Xu Daomao, being a team leader, only knowing how to shout and order people around, eating, taking, and demanding, he's nothing. He still wants to replace Section Chief Cao? Dream on! Regardless of whether the factory leaders will agree or not, anyway, I am absolutely unconvinced.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as these two were talking, Xu Daomao walked in with a gloomy face, sat on the chair without a word, and stared straight at the banner on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking of Factory Director Li's perfunctory attitude, Xu Daomao felt a wave of anger in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>During this period, he was sending gifts and flattering, working desperately, and performing desperately, just to go further, wanting to surpass Cao Cao Weiguo, and also get some kind of director or section chief to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But he didn't expect that this dog thing, Factory Director Li, only took benefits and didn't do things, only saying nice things, but not giving anything practical.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I sent you so many gifts, can't you also promote me to be a deputy director of the committee?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>You son of a bitch!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Don't think I'm easy to bully?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If I get angry, I'm even afraid of myself!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If you push me, I'll make you squat in the dark room too!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sitting on the chair, Xu Daomao clenched his fists tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Team leader, have a cup of tea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xiao Zhang from the Workers' Inspection Team brought a cup of tea to curry favor, wanting to please this \"popular person\" Xu Daomao, hoping to get some light and be taken care of in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Daomao took the tea coldly, having no mood to pay attention to this Xiao Zhang, his mind entirely on how to climb up.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Factory Director Li is not sensible, so he can only find another way and take the path of Deputy Factory Director Xue more.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just when everyone in the office had their own thoughts, the phone on the table suddenly rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Deputy Team Leader Xiao Brother Yuan picked up the phone: \"Director Deng, you're looking for Team Leader Xu? He's here, let him answer the phone, okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xu Daomao hurriedly walked over and grabbed the phone: \"Director Deng, I am Xu Daomao, what do you want from me? Okay, okay, I'll be there right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zhang asked eagerly: \"Team leader, what did Director Deng want from you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Daomao said with a straight face: \"Does Director Deng looking for 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!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xiao Zhang was embarrassed and red-faced, nodding and bowing repeatedly: \"Yes, yes, yes, Leader, you are right to criticize, I will definitely actively review and actively correct, remember your teachings, and never commit again in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Daomao nodded: \"Hmm, your attitude of admitting mistakes is still good, go busy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xiao Zhang returned to his seat under the mocking eyes of the team members. Xu Daomao tidied up his Zhongshan suit and walked out of the office with his head held high.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Watching Xu Daomao leave arrogantly, Xiao Brother Yuan also got up and left the office, going straight to find Cao Cao Weiguo to report this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Since Xu Daomao entered the Workers' Inspection Team, Cao Cao Weiguo rarely did things that would affect his \"reputation,\" handing over all the dirty and tiring work to Xu Daomao, this \"active element,\" so much so that Xu Daomao's limelight became more and more prosperous, becoming a popular person in front of the factory leaders. On the contrary, Cao Cao Weiguo rarely presided over the work of the Workers' Inspection Team, appearing to be \"cold-shouldered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One hot and one cold will inevitably make people like Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhang think that Cao Cao Weiguo is not going to make it, and Xu Daomao is going to be prosperous.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So after learning that Director Deng was looking for Xu Daomao, Xiao Brother Yuan immediately reported this matter to Cao Cao Weiguo, so that Cao Cao Weiguo could be mentally prepared in advance, no matter what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xiao Brother Yuan arrived at Cao Cao Weiguo's office and told the story of Director Deng and Xu Daomao exactly as it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo said lightly: \"I know, you keep an eye on Xu Daomao and Director Deng, and see what they are doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xiao Brother Yuan nodded: \"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This Director Deng usually doesn't show his face, but Cao Cao Weiguo never underestimates this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because this person is in charge of party affairs, responsible for ideological, organizational, and style construction, and 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, still being a senior leader of the Red Star Steel Mill.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the other side, Xu Daomao sat on the sofa, holding a teacup excitedly, 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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Director Deng took an envelope from his briefcase and handed it to Xu Daomao with a smile: \"This is a little heart from Zhou Zhou Chongwen's family, don't refuse, after all, this matter still needs you to worry more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Daomao 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 Zhou Chongwen was caught by me. If I had known earlier that Zhou Zhou Chongwen was your distant relative, even if a knife was on my neck, I wouldn't have touched a hair of Zhou Zhou Chongwen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Director Deng laughed: \"Team Leader Xu, you catching Zhou Zhou Chongwen is your duty, don't have any psychological burden. If this Zhou Zhou Chongwen has a problem, no matter if he is my relative or not, he should be caught, and he should be strictly investigated and punished. Team Leader Xu, you must remember the mission, firm your position, and don't live up to the trust of the country and the organization in you. You must not put private interests above public ones. Of course, if Zhou Zhou Chongwen has no problem, then he should be released after the investigation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Daomao hurriedly said: \"Yes, yes, yes! I, Xu Daomao, will definitely remember your teachings, remember the mission, firm the position, will not let go of a bad person, and will never wrong a good person. After my repeated review, I have determined that Zhou Zhou Chongwen has no problem, and he has high morality and excellent style, and is a good comrade with both morality and ability. This time, catching Comrade Zhou Zhou Chongwen was entirely due to the malicious reporting of some bad elements. Later, I will personally send Comrade Zhou Zhou Chongwen home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Director Deng said with a full face of smiles: \"Team Leader Xu, you are very good. After you go back, write an application, the organization needs excellent talents like you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Daomao stood up and bowed excitedly: \"Thank you, Leader, for your cultivation. I, Xu Daomao, will never live up to your kindness of promotion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Is this the beauty of holding power!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Director Deng, who has always been high-minded, humbled himself to ask!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not only can I get benefits, but I can also earn the leader's favor!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It's really too cool!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hahaha!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sure enough, there is a reward for every effort!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I, Xu Daomao, am also a person of the organization from now on!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo! Li Li Huaide!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Today, you look down on me, tomorrow, you won't be able to climb high.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With Director Deng's favor, and then taking down the well-backgrounded Deputy Factory Director Xue, I will soon trample you all under my feet.\u003C\u002Fp>",1704,"2026-06-16T08:10:16.781Z","2026-06-17T08:52:03.356Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","7d68a045118800b2186d64c1d220ce4fd4707c7bb6b89bc0a1c582cef94b395a","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-730","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-728",843,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-good-life-cover.jpg"]
