The Great Era of Siheyuan

Xu Damao walked to the Propaganda Department and just sat down for a while. After thinking about it, he decided to run to the workshop to find Yi Zhonghai and tell him that Sha Zhu would not survive for a few days if no one helped him.

"Fuck, I'm such a jerk! I actually thought of helping Shazhu!"

Although Xu Damao cursed himself for being a masochist, he still walked towards the workshop.

Although Sha Zhu often beat him, it was just some minor conflicts between the two of them, which was harmless. It was very different from the deaf old lady Yi Zhonghai and others ruining his reputation. Although he wanted Sha Zhu to be unlucky, he never wanted to kill him.

Yi Zhonghai was a little uneasy today. He ran to the cafeteria to look for Sha Zhu in the morning, but the people in the cafeteria said that he had gone back a long time ago after the reception dinner yesterday and was not in the steel mill at all. But He Yushui said that Sha Zhu did not come back all night, so where did he go?

As soon as Xu Damao came in, he saw Yi Zhonghai in a daze. He walked up to him, waved his hand and called out.

"Yi Zhonghai, hey, Yi Zhonghai, what are you daydreaming about? Did you hear me?"

"Xu Damao, how can you talk like that? Did you call Master Yi by his name? Speak politely!"

Before Yi Zhonghai could say anything, the workers next to him stood up to defend him. A level 7 fitter was a very respectable master in the factory, and everyone who saw him had to call him Master Yi. Xu Damao calling Yi Zhonghai by his name seemed a bit disrespectful to the workers.

"Go away, I don't have time for you!"

Xu Damao didn't even look at him. This guy has been flattering Yi Zhonghai for several years but has never become his apprentice. What an idiot! He still thinks that Yi Zhonghai will accept him as his apprentice one day!

"Hey, Xu Damao, you are really good. You dare to come to the workshop to cause trouble? Believe it or not, I will punish you!"

The man glanced at Yi Zhonghai from the corner of his eye, then rolled up his sleeves and prepared for a fight.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and stopped the worker next to him. Xu Damao usually didn't even have time to hide when he saw him, so why did he come to find him today?

"Xu Damao, why are you here instead of staying at your own workstation? Our work doesn't overlap at all. What do you want from me?"

"Of course I have something to talk to you about. This is not the place to talk. Follow me!"

Xu Damao glanced at the lickspittle next to him, turned around and walked away, not taking him seriously at all. He was just an ordinary worker in a workshop, but he really thought he was the master here, what a fool.

"Hey, Xu Damao, what's with that look in your eyes? Master Yi, don't worry, if he dares to disrespect you later, come back and tell me, and I'll help you deal with him!"

"Okay Jiang Dawei, there's nothing for you to do. If you have the time, make the workpieces better. Don't scrap a lot of them later. The supervisor will come to me to ask questions again."

Yi Zhonghai ignored him and followed Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao, tell me, what do you want from me?"

As soon as they reached a deserted place, Yi Zhonghai asked him directly.

"Shazhu was caught stealing and is now in the security department's detention room. If you don't save him, he might be dead! Okay, I've told you the news, it's up to you whether to save him or not!"

Xu Damao left after saying this.

"Wait, what did you say? Shazhu was caught stealing? How is that possible? How could he steal something?"

Yi Zhonghai directly grabbed Xu Damao's hand and didn't believe what he said.

Xu Damao simply pried his hands apart, patted his sleeves, and said with a sneer.

"Impossible? What's impossible? In your eyes, only Xu Damao would steal things, right? Yi Zhonghai, I've already told you, believe it or not! What Sha Zhu did this time is not a small matter. Not only did he steal all the delicious dishes when preparing a banquet for the leaders, he also scolded Liu Lan in the cafeteria. You know who Liu Lan is even without me telling you. If you don't want Sha Zhu to be sent to the police station, go and talk to him as soon as possible, otherwise, hmph!"

Xu Damao left without saying anything else. He thought he had done his best to tell Sha Zhu the news and ask for help, regardless of past grudges.

"What a fucking bitch!"

Xu Damao kept cursing himself for being a masochist as he walked. He didn't care what Yi Zhonghai did. Whether Sha Zhu could come out safely depended on his luck.

"Good morning, Director!"

Xu Damao had been standing at the door of Li Huaide's office waiting since he met Yi Zhonghai. When he saw him, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Xu Damao, what are you doing here? Are you trying to plead for Sha Zhu?"

As soon as Li Huaide went upstairs, he saw Xu Damao here. He was a little confused and thought that he knew that Sha Zhu was arrested and came to plead with him.

"How is that possible? Shazhu deserves it. He dared to steal food from our steel mill, so he should be severely punished. No matter how you deal with him, it won't be excessive."

Xu Damao immediately refuted and distanced himself from the issue.

"Xu Damao, your ideological awareness is very good and deserves encouragement. Unlike Shazhu, who eats our steel mill's food and steals from outside, this is a very bad theft. The leadership of our steel mill has always attached great importance to anti-corruption and thrift, but I didn't expect that there would be such a big rat in the cafeteria. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Li Huaide gave a long speech severely criticizing Sha Zhu, and then finally remembered to ask Xu Damao what he wanted.

"Thank you for the compliment, boss. I have a friend who wants to meet you. Is that okay?"

Xu Damao asked carefully.

"Friend? Want to meet me? When? What do you want to see me for?"

Li Huaide asked curiously.

"He didn't tell me this, but he did say that this is definitely a good thing for you! What do you think~?"

Xu Damao looked at him with a flattering smile.

"Okay, it's rare that you come to me for something, so I'll agree to this! When will he come over?"

Li Huaide thought about it and decided that since there was nothing else to do, it would be good to hear what his friend had to say!

"He should be here soon. I'll wait outside and bring him to you in a bit!"

Xu Damao was relieved when he heard Li Huaide agreed. He had boasted that if he couldn't do it, Li Wenqiang would probably laugh at him when he returned.

"I still have a lot of official business to deal with. The leaders of the Beimo factory will come over for a meeting soon. If you have nothing else to do, please leave first. When the people arrive, bring them to me!"

Li Huaide exchanged a few words with him and then sent him away.

"Okay, okay, Director, you go ahead and do your work, I'll come back later!"

Xu Damao was very tactful and withdrew directly.

At this time, Li Wenqiang was still on his way, holding two documents printed from the Internet, one for solar energy conversion and the other for motorcycle twin-cylinder engines, which were his stepping stones for cooperation with the factory.

Now that he is ready to start a business, he is prepared to do a great job so that his journey through time will be worthwhile.
