Chapter 255 The Wind Rises
It turned out that there was a sudden emergency in the ministry and a huge storm was approaching.
The big boss rushed back to the department anxiously to attend an emergency meeting.
At the same time, Director Li also got some inside information and he was extremely excited because this was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to take down Director Yang who had always been against him.
As expected, a few days later, Director Yang was forced to step down due to the impact of the movement.
In the factory committee, Director Li successfully served as the chairman of the committee.
At this point, the decision-making power of the entire steel mill fell entirely into his hands.
He finally realized his long-cherished wish and became the actual person in charge of the factory.
Not long after, Director Li turned his attention to Lou Bancheng, the former shareholder of the steel mill.
You know, this steel rolling mill was originally Loubancheng’s property!
Later he donated it to the country, but for Director Li, it had nothing to do with him, after all, the steel mill now belonged to the state.
However, when it came to Lou Bancheng's personal property, Director Li became very interested. So he decided to call someone to help - this person was Xu Damao.
Speaking of Xu Damao, he is Lou Bancheng's son-in-law!
He also works as a film projectionist in the factory.
Xu Damao was invited to dinner by Director Li. He was so happy that he felt a little elated. Even his voice trembled when he spoke.
Sitting next to him was Director Li's lover Liu Lan, who was responsible for keeping him company.
"Da Mao, come here, come here, sit over here!"
Director Li waved at Xu Damao with a smile on his face, asking him to take a seat quickly.
Xu Damao was at a loss for a moment and stammered:
"Director Li, is this really okay? Am I disturbing you too much..."
Upon hearing this, Director Li couldn't help but burst out laughing. He patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said generously, "Hey, what are you talking about? Just sit down when I tell you to. There's nothing to be embarrassed about!"
After hearing this, Xu Damao chuckled and sat down with peace of mind.
Liu Lan stood up sensibly and filled Xu Damao's glass with wine.
Director Li winked at Xu Damao, indicating that he should drink the wine in front of him.
Xu Damao picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp without saying a word.
Upon seeing this, Director Li burst into laughter:
"Hahaha, Damao, I see you've worked in our factory for quite a few years. Even if you haven't made any contributions, you've worked hard over the years! So, I plan to promote you to be the deputy director. What do you think?"
Xu Damao stammered, "Is this... is this appropriate? Can I... can I do it?"
His voice was full of doubt and uncertainty.
Director Li smiled slightly and replied firmly, "Whether it will be successful or not is up to me! As long as I nod, it will be fine."
Hearing this, Xu Damao's heart burst into joy and his face immediately lit up with happiness.
However, Director Li suddenly changed the subject and continued, "However, you are still lacking some key hard conditions. If you can make great contributions, then the possibility of success of this matter will be very high!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Damao asked anxiously, "Director Li, please tell me, what kind of great merit do you want me to perform?"
Director Li smiled meaningfully and said softly, "I understand that your father-in-law, Lou Bancheng, is a capitalist. Can't you provide us with some useful clues?"
After hearing this, Xu Damao's face instantly became solemn and he fell into deep thought.
But just a few seconds later, he raised his head and replied, "Director Li, I really don't know much about this matter!"
His tone sounded somewhat helpless, as if he didn't know much about the matter.
After hearing this, Director Li's face became extremely gloomy, as if water could drip out of it. He said in a cold tone:
"Xu Damao, this is an opportunity I specially provided for you. If you don't seize this rare opportunity, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
After finishing speaking, Director Li paused, and then threw out a more lethal statement:
"Also, don't you think about what kind of era is this? You are still bent on defending those hateful capitalists? Have you forgotten your identity and position?"
Hearing this, Xu Damao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
In fact, the series of events that have happened in recent days have already had a huge psychological impact on him.
Especially since even the highly respected Director Yang was overthrown, this made Xu Damao deeply aware of the severity of the current situation.
So he quickly apologized to Director Li and said anxiously:
"Director Li, please don't be anxious. Give me some time to think carefully about what to do!"
Director Li's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile, but soon returned to a serious expression, and he responded:
"It does require some serious thought, but you must think it through and don't go the wrong way!"
Liu Lan watched from the side, frowned, and said with displeasure: "Okay, stop being so wicked and keep thinking of these tricks to harm people!"
After hearing this, Director Li glared at her fiercely and said sternly, "It has nothing to do with you. Stop talking nonsense!"
Xu Damao smiled and said cautiously, "I remember now. The Lou family used to have an old servant named Deng Bo, who lived at No. 317 Xinzhong Street!"
When Director Li heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He personally picked up the wine glass and poured a full glass of wine for Xu Damao.
"Da Mao, that's right! Let's act according to the plan tomorrow. As long as this thing can be accomplished, you will be the deputy director!"
Director Li patted Xu Damao's shoulder with satisfaction, a sly look in his eyes.
After hearing this, Xu Damao was secretly happy and a proud smile appeared on his face.
After hearing this, Liu Lan thought to herself that these people were going to do evil again. She knew very well that Xu Damao and Zhang Jianjun were from the same courtyard.
So she pretended to be unwell, went to the infirmary and told Zhang Jianjun what happened.
"What? Xu Damao is so bold?"
Zhang Jianjun widened his eyes in astonishment. He could never have imagined that Xu Damao would actually report his father-in-law Lou Bancheng.
Liu Lan urged anxiously, "Hurry up and find a solution. They will start tomorrow!"
Zhang Jianjun nodded: "Okay, I got it, you go first!"
Afterwards, Zhang Jianjun asked Qin Huairu to wait in the infirmary while he went back to the courtyard to find Lou Xiaoe.
