Chapter 757: Stirring the Fire
Red Star Sihe Academy
A resentful Xu Xu Damao called over a bunch of fox friends and dog buddies. These people gathered together to curse Seeing Shazhu, and after this whole process, everyone was fired up.
Cui Cui Dake took the lead in shouting: "Seeing Shazhu, this grandson, just needs a beating. Xu Damao, if you ask me, let’s drag Seeing Shazhu out right now and beat him up. If we don't beat him into submission, he won't know how many eyes Ma Ma Wangye has."
Chi Ping'an took a sip of wine and sighed: "Xu Xu Damao, you’ve really lost out this time. You and Seeing Shazhu are both suspended for reflection, but what are you? The Deputy Section Chief of the Propaganda Section, your monthly salary is at least fifty or sixty. And Seeing Shazhu? A toilet cleaner, his monthly salary is at most twenty-something. Comparing the two, tell me, did you lose out?"
Cao Cao Weiguo narrowed his eyes: "He He Yuzhu isn't stupid. I think he made such a big scene this time, nine times out of ten, on purpose. It was just to drag you down into the water with him, Xu Damao. Sigh, I originally wanted to intercede for you in front of Deputy Factory Director Nie, but He He Yuzhu insisted on saying you were engaging in illicit relations, making the matter bigger and bigger. It’s fortunate that He He Yuzhu couldn't produce any evidence, otherwise, you would have been finished."
He He Wenjie walked over with a plate of food and snorted coldly upon hearing this: "Some people just don't learn their lesson, unable to control that mere inch or two, inviting trouble everywhere. Being finished is just what you deserve."
Cao Cao Weiguo teased: "Sister-in-law, there’s more to your words, right? Brother Xu Damao, you didn't get caught by Seeing Shazhu messing around outside, did you?"
Xu Xu Damao said in a panic: "No! Your sister-in-law just likes to be suspicious! He He Wenjie, what are you saying! We’re talking about serious business; don't make trouble for no reason."
"Hmph, you know what you’ve done yourself. You better be careful."
He He Wenjie sneered, dropped a sentence, and turned to the kitchen to continue cooking.
Xu Xu Damao smiled awkwardly: "Don't think too much. This He He Wenjie is just suspicious, suspicious all day long. Even if I say a word or greet another female comrade, she thinks I’ve slept with them, and she makes a scene with me all day. But what kind of person am I, Xu Xu Damao? My motto is to keep myself clean. Even Liuxiahui, who could sit with a woman without being moved, would have to call me 'big brother' if he saw me. How could I go out and mess around?"
Cao Cao Weiguo laughed: "Yes, yes, yes! I understand Brother Xu Damao's character; how could Brother Xu Damao go out and engage in illicit relations? However, Brother Xu Damao, you must know one saying: 'Public opinion is a fearful thing.' He He Yuzhu, in front of so many fellow workers in the factory, kept saying over and over that you were engaging in illicit relations outside. Even if only one-tenth of the people believe his words, as it gets passed around, the false will become true. Therefore, if you want to restore your reputation, you must make He He Yuzhu retract his words. It would be best if he made a self-criticism in public, admitting that he was lying and spreading rumors. Otherwise, your reputation will be damaged, and your future political prospects will be worrying."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xu Damao’s hatred for Seeing Shazhu surged by another thirty percent. Faithless Seeing Shazhu, this dog thing who deserves to be killed, took my hush money but didn't keep his word, and even wanted to destroy his political future. Dog thing, I am at odds with you.
Cui Cui Dake said hatefully: "This Seeing Shazhu is truly too sinister. With Xu Damao being messed with like this, his reputation will inevitably be affected. How important is reputation these days? If his reputation stinks, leaders will have prejudices against Xu Damao. Even if there’s a chance for promotion in the future, Xu Damao might be excluded because of his bad reputation."
"Bang!"
The more Xu Xu Damao heard, the angrier he got. He slapped the table, his eyes bloodshot: "Seeing Shazhu! I’m not done with you! I’ll make him pay the price right now!"
Gritting his teeth, Xu Xu Damao got up and walked out. Cao Cao Weiguo and the others looked at each other, smiled, and got up to follow Xu Xu Damao. The group soon arrived at the middle courtyard.
"Seeing Shazhu! Seeing Shazhu! You faithless beast! Get out here!"
Xu Xu Damao stood in the middle courtyard and shouted at the top of his lungs. Neighbors heard the commotion and walked out of their rooms to watch the fun.
Getting to eat a melon every few days is really nice.
Seeing Shazhu walked out angrily, rolled up his sleeves, and headed straight for Xu Xu Damao: "Grandson, you’re looking for a beating, right! Your grandpa here has anger and nowhere to vent it!"
Xu Xu Damao grabbed Seeing Shazhu’s collar, gritting his teeth and saying hatefully: "Seeing Shazhu, you faithless villain, you clearly took my money, why are you still shouting? You bastard, you’re faithless, are you still a man?"
These words made Seeing Shazhu feel guilty; after all, he did take the hush money, and this time he reported him publicly, which was indeed being faithless.
But the guilt was only a flash. Seeing Shazhu put on a fierce face and pushed Xu Xu Damao away: "Grandson, you did something immoral, and you don't want people to say it? You’re the one who’s cheap! You asked for it! I reported you! What can you do about it!"
Xu Xu Damao sneered: "Good! Good! Good! Seeing Shazhu! Since you don't keep your word, don't blame me for going back on mine. Don't think I can't deal with you. Don't forget, you still have a godfather."
Seeing Shazhu’s eyes flashed with fierce light: "What do you mean! You want to use the First Master to threaten me!"
Xu Xu Damao sneered and walked toward the First Aunt: "First Aunt, I won't worry about your Old Yi’s business anymore. Don't blame me for taking money and not doing the job; blame your 'good son' Seeing Shazhu. He was the one who was faithless first, taking my money but not keeping his word. I’m just returning the favor."
The First Aunt grabbed Xu Xu Damao’s arm in a panic: "Xu Damao, what is this? What do you mean! You can't ignore Old Yi. I’ve already given you all my family’s belongings! Xu Damao, let’s discuss anything; you must save Old Yi!"
