Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

Chapter 160 160, digging a hole, digging a hole back

Liu Lan spread the news about how much compensation the factory gave Jia Dongxu after his accident.

Liu Lan was very grateful to Xu Damao. If it hadn't been for Xu Damao, she might have been forced to work in a small warehouse with Deputy Factory Director Li.

She didn't expect that Xu Damao would say everything accurately.

The Second Canteen has always been the reception canteen of the steel rolling mill, and Liu Lan, as the flower of the Second Canteen, is also very talkative, so when there is a reception or delivery in the steel rolling mill, Liu Lan takes someone to serve the food.

This kind of thing is normal in various manufacturers, and they all say that beauty is delicious, that is, beauty has an additive effect on food.

I really want to hire Zhu Bajie's second aunt as a waiter. The boss will eat there, and the head waiter will stand beside him pouring wine and dishes, and no one will have an appetite.

So Liu Lan got this lucrative job as a waiter just because of her face.

This year, this profession is really bad.

In a job like this, overtime is normal and there is no overtime pay.

The leader eats and drinks until eight o'clock in the evening. You can't get off work at five o'clock and let the leader serve the food and clean up the leftovers by himself.

But it is not without its benefits. Whenever leaders eat, the food must be good. The portions of the meals these days are definitely sufficient. And the leader, out of concern for his face, will not eat every dish. Not to mention half left, but it is normal for a bowl of food to be left with less than half, and these are the benefits of Liu Lan and the others.

Of course, so does leftover cigarettes and leftover wine.

It turned out that Liu Lan took the initiative to take this job, and she was willing to wait until eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

Others saw that she was a woman, and her family conditions were really poor, so no one had the nerve to argue with her.

But ever since she heard what Xu Damao told her, Liu Lan now takes the initiative to drag her apprentice Ma Hua to wait with her for the dinner reception in the evening.

This naturally attracted gossip. Someone joked with Liu Lan that she was thinking about old cows eating young grass.

Liu Lan was not used to these people, so she pointed directly at them and scolded them: "Fart, even if I look at the conditions in Ma Hua's family, he is the only one of the five or six people in the family who has a job and is still an apprentice. Besides, Ma Hua is usually honest. Yes, they are all rushing to do any work. If we don’t help these children, are we still human?”

The other party was so scolded by Liu Lan that he blushed and apologized repeatedly.

Liu Lan waved her hands and sighed: "It's not easy for all of us. You pity me and leave this matter to me tonight. I, Liu Lan, am not a ungrateful person. It's difficult to meet MCA now. I can pull it off if I can." In this day and age, let’s just support him. I don’t care, I’m just an old lady. MCA is still a young man, and he will be looking for a wife in the future. It will be difficult if his reputation is ruined.”

Ma Hua listened with red eyes. Even Shazhu couldn't help but give Liu Lan a thumbs up when he heard Liu Lan's words and thought of his own affairs.

Therefore, the development of all things has a certain degree of continuity.

There is a cause and there is a result. It is a very reasonable thing.

And this kind of cause and effect has nothing to do with good or evil.

Planting good causes and reaping good results also depends on the person.

If you really save a poisonous snake and expect the poisonous snake to repay you with kindness, then you are overthinking it. If the poisonous snake doesn't bite you to death on the spot, it will be regarded as a good fruit for you.

For example, Liu Lan helped MCA. Although she had selfish motives, she really helped.

And it didn't take long for MCA to repay her.

That day was a private banquet arranged by Deputy Director Li.

There is also a difference between a reception meal and a reception meal. For example, if a steel rolling mill entertains colleagues from outside the factory because of business, then no matter who is responsible for the reception, it will be the public account of the factory.

And people like Deputy Director Li occasionally entertain friends or colleagues because of their own affairs.

This is also rationed in the steel rolling mill, that is, the factory director can do it several times a month, and the deputy director can do it several times a month.

If the number of meals exceeds the limit, Deputy Director Li and the other guests will have to provide the ingredients and dishes themselves. This is considered a private banquet.

As for where the expenses for the private banquet come from, everyone knows that. After all, it’s still what Silly Zhu said~ What’s wrong with the leader drinking the workers’ blood and me drinking some soup?
  But on the surface, everyone is still going their own way.

Deputy Director Li handed over the food money to the canteen, and the canteen director naturally arranged the reception task in the second canteen.

When all the dishes were served, Deputy Director Li said to Liu Lan kindly: "Liu Lan, let Shazhu and the others get off work first! I'll just leave you alone to clean up at the end."

These words made Liu Lan's mind arouse.

It turns out that Deputy Factory Director Li has never made arrangements like this. Most of the time, half way through the meal, Si Zhu asks Liu Lan to come in and ask if he wants any extra dishes. If they don't add food, Silly Zhu and the others will get off work or something.

If Xu Damao hadn't reminded him, Liu Lan would have thought he was leading the people and caring for the canteen workers.

But hearing this today, Liu Lan's heart was tense.

Liu Lan asked Sha Zhu to get off work first, but kept Ma Hua as usual.

He deliberately asked Ma Hua to stay in the kitchen and did not let Ma Hua show up at the reception.

After all the leaders had eaten and Liu Lan went in, she realized that Deputy Director Li had really spent money today.

There were two unopened boxes of Chinese wine on the table, and a bottle of old wine that was also unopened. As for the dishes, a big pig's trotter was completely untouched.

When Ma Hua also came in to clean up, his eyes lit up when he saw these things.

Ma Hua smiled and said: "Sister Lan, we are giving away today. This bottle of wine and two packs of cigarettes will cost several yuan."

Liu Lan was not happy at all when he heard this. Instead, he said with a sad face: "Yes, if you are caught, you will be fired."

Ma Hua is an honest kid, and he was frightened when he heard this. He hurriedly asked: "Sister Lan, no way! Isn't this what the leader doesn't want?" Liu Lan said angrily: "When did you see those guys being so generous? They usually only have half a bottle of wine and a few cigarettes left. It’s also possible, when has a whole package been left for us? Maybe it’s for fishing.”

This is also the reason why Liu Lan chose MCA to stay. This child is honest and obedient. If this was a fat man, even if Liu Lan said he couldn't touch him, he would still say a few words, and maybe he would even have to hide it secretly.

When Ma Hua heard this, he also asked what to do.

Liu Lan smiled bitterly and said: "Keep these things for now and give them to the canteen director tomorrow. There are some things we can't touch."

When Ma Hua heard this, he directly followed Liu Lan's instructions.

Wait until you have finished packing and it’s time to leave. Liu Lan told Ma Hua a few more words, but nothing else, and asked Ma Hua to wait for two minutes behind her before leaving. If someone bothers her later, just yell.

Today, if an accident does happen, Liu Lan also wants to teach Deputy Director Li a lesson.

When Liu Lan walked to the small warehouse with her bag on her back, Deputy Director Li appeared.

Now Deputy Director Li is no longer friendly. He said seriously that things have been missing in the canteen recently and asked Liu Lan to be inspected.

Liu Lan sneered: "Director, isn't it appropriate? If you want to inspect, the security department will come to inspect. If you come to inspect alone, even if the inspection is successful, you can't tell clearly."

Liu Lan was still thinking about this matter. In fact, if Liu Lan asked MCA to take a detour and call the security department, it might really make Deputy Director Li miserable.

If Xu Damao had done this in the past, he would have made things big. The security department, labor union, and women's director were all notified in advance and asked them to come and watch the show.

Of course, if you follow Xu Damao's approach. Either the people behind Deputy Director Li will give up on him and Deputy Director Li will step down. Otherwise, Liu Lan would have to accept the revenge of Deputy Factory Director Li afterwards.

I can only say that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is skinny. In fact, if you want to bring down Deputy Factory Director Li, you must have the same power as Deputy Factory Director Li's backstage to use this matter to bring him down.

Because according to the thinking of Xu Damao's later generations, there is no place for him to stay, but there is a place for him to stay. At worst, we can't do it here, we just need to find another place.

This was just like how he offended Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady to death when he first entered the courtyard house.

But Xu Damao would definitely not do that now. Either don't do it, or just kill this kind of person directly.

Deputy Director Li didn't say anything. He just looked at Liu Lan and sneered, as if looking at meat in a bowl.

Who would have expected that Liu Lan would directly hand his backpack to Deputy Factory Director Li, who was stunned by Liu Lan's trick.

I subconsciously took it and just weighed it, and I felt something was wrong. Empty!

Deputy Director Li looked at Liu Lan suspiciously. Liu Lan smiled and said, "Director, don't you want to check? Open it and take a look."

In this case, Deputy Director Li knew that he had made a mistake.

But the arrow is on the string and must be fired.

Seeing that the moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was no one around, Deputy Director Li rolled his eyes and said, "Who knows if you have something hidden on you? I have to check."

This is why Deputy Director Li said such stupid things.

Liu Lan straightened her face and shouted behind her: "MCA, MCA."

Ma Hua trotted over and Deputy Factory Director Li couldn't help but feel a "thump" in his heart when he saw this.

Deputy Director Li secretly thought that something was wrong. He didn't expect that Liu Lan didn't listen to him and sent everyone away, but kept one person specially.

What Deputy Director Li is thinking about right now is whether this is a hole dug for him by someone else.

According to Deputy Factory Director Li's estimate of the matter, for someone like Liu Lan who usually likes petty gains, seeing the bait he left behind, it was nothing more than a little mouse dropping out of a rice vat and eating as much as he could.

When she wanted to take the wine and cigarettes out, she was a little scared and she didn't let him control her.

In order to prevent Liu Lan from taking advantage of the price of tobacco and alcohol, Deputy Director Li deliberately left a whole dish of braised pig's trotters untouched.

Unexpectedly, Liu Lan was not fooled and even killed him.

Liu Lan didn't care what Deputy Director Li was thinking, and shouted directly to Ma Hua beside him: "Ma Hua, go to the security department and call someone. Call the biggest leader on duty in the security department."

This is also the benefit of MCA. Let's take Fatty as an example. If he sees the factory director opposite him, no matter what Liu Lan says, Fatty will always ask the leader's opinion first, and nothing will happen.

Sure enough, after hearing this, MCA walked to the security department.

Deputy Director Li quickly shouted: "Stop."

Ma Hua ignored him, and Deputy Director Li jumped anxiously.

Liu Lan looked amused and shouted: "Ma Hua, wait a minute."

MCA stopped!
