Chapter 517: I Will Bribe You If You Can

Chapter 517: I Will Bribe You If You Can
Liu Haizhong's words woke Xu Damao up!

If Liu Haizhong, who only has primary school education, can be a team leader, why can't Xu Damao, who graduated from junior high school, be one?

Thinking of this, Xu Damao looked at his bangs with fiery eyes.

"Team Leader Liu, I think we should hold a meeting and talk about it while it's still early. It's better to be early than late while everyone is here."

"Hmm?" Liu Haizhong hesitated. He knew that he had only so much knowledge in his head. What could he say before going into battle?

But seeing everyone looking at me expectantly, I must not be nervous at this moment.

"Okay, let's start the meeting now. Bring out the stools. I'll tell you how I became the team leader. Everyone, learn from me!"

Immediately, the curious crowd didn't even bother to eat and moved out the exclusive chair in Liuhaizhong.

Soon, Liu Haizhong was seen sitting in the center with a calm and composed look.

"Let me tell you, being a team leader requires a lot of knowledge. This is the first thing."

Liu Haizhong gently sipped his saliva and pretended to be a scholar and said slowly: "To be the first, you need good skills. If you don't have good skills, even if you are asked to be the team leader, can you be at ease?"

"Can others convince you? Of course not, so this technique needs to be strong."

“Is this the second one?”

Liu Haizhong talked a lot in the central courtyard, sharing his own "brilliant ideas".

Xu Damao listened and thought it was somewhat useful at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt it was just nonsense and did not touch on the core issues at all.

Liu Haizhong kept talking about how strong his skills were, telling people not to be ambitious and not to always think about becoming a team leader. Just accumulate experience and you will eventually be discovered by your superiors.

"Damn it, what is Liu Haizhong talking about? It's useless." Xu Damao couldn't help but curse inwardly and turned to look at Li Kailang.

"Hey, Li Kailang, let me ask you something."

"Speak." Li Kailang had no interest in Liu Haizhong's words.

"Do you think there is any way for me to become an official?"

Li Kailang glanced at Xu Damao and asked, "Why do you want to be an official too?"

"Of course not. Who doesn't want to be an official and manage people? Don't you want to?"

"That's true. If you want to be one, you can be one."

"I'm at a loss. What can you do? Give me some advice." Xu Damao begged.

"Well, officials are nothing but greedy for money, sex, fame and fortune, and they also want to solve their problems. You just need to start with these," said Li Kailang.

"Greedy and lustful."

"Power, sex, fame and wealth."

Xu Damao muttered and counted them one by one with his thumbs up, but he seemed unable to solve any of them.

If he had married Lou Xiao'e, his greed for money could still be solved, but now he married Sai Fengxian, a widow, who has no money at all.

Now she is still in control of the family’s money. If you want to bribe her with money, it’s useless.

"It seems that this is the only way to solve the problem." Xu Damao murmured.

Li Kailang glanced at Xu Damao. Everyone in the courtyard knew what kind of person he was. It was good enough if he didn't cause any problems. How could he have the ability to solve problems?

Xu Damao was more or less self-aware: "Is there any other way?"

"Let me think of other ways." Xu Damao's normal method might not work, so he could only take a risky move.

With Xu Damao's ability, what other risks can he use?

Li Kailang touched his chin and suddenly thought: "Oh, I almost forgot there is another way."

"What method?" Xu Damao's eyes lit up.

Li Kailang immediately whispered: "Didn't you buy the medicine from me? Why don't you just deliver it to me? Maybe it will work?"

"Huh?!" Xu Damao's eyes lit up instantly, and he slapped his thigh: "Why didn't I think of this idea?"

Xu Damao's slap instantly attracted everyone's attention. Liu Haizhong's face turned dark. Wasn't this stealing his limelight?

"Team Leader Liu, you are absolutely right. Absolutely right!"

"Yeah!" Liu Haizhong nodded with satisfaction, "You're right, just applaud, no need to react so strongly."

"Yes, yes, Team Leader Liu, please continue."

"The fifth thing is to study hard, learn more words, read more newspapers, and learn new knowledge."

After dealing with it, Xu Damao looked at Li Kailang and said, "Li Kailang, this is a good idea. Why didn't I think of it? Do you have any more? Sell me some."

"Sell me some more powerful medicine, I'll give it to someone else. As long as I give it to the right person, I can become an official, hehehe~"

Xu Damao immediately thought of Li Huaide, a deputy factory director and his immediate superior in charge of logistics. Wouldn't it be easy to arrange a position of team leader for him?

"I want to be an official, make money, get promoted, and make more money. I want to make a lot of money!" Xu Damao said with great momentum.

At this moment, the internal management of each factory is very chaotic. Some cadres are on the payroll, many are doing work in lieu of work, and some are just there in name only.

Even if it is just an empty title, even if there is no official position, even if it will make you tired and your back will ache in the end, there are still many people who are eager to become an official.

In other words, most senior workers have little interest in becoming officials.

Seeing Xu Damao's wretched appearance, Li Kailang guessed, "I have a more powerful medicine. Do you want to give it to the director of the Propaganda Department?"

"Seriously, how is your relationship with your director?"

Xu Damao curled his lips and said, "Director of the Publicity Department, why should I give him that shrunken thing? He is just wasting things, and he still wants it. He is dreaming."

Li Kailang shook his head speechlessly. He didn't even respect his superiors, but he still wanted to be an official. He was afraid that his fate would be in jeopardy.

"Xu Damao, I advise you not to make your relationship with your director too awkward. After all, he is your leader. If it's too awkward, it will be difficult for you to be an official."

"If he doesn't let me be an official, I will kill him. Besides, if I want to be an official, I won't look for him, so it's none of his business."

"If it's not him, then who is it?" Li Kailang couldn't help but be amazed. What kind of relationship did Xu Damao find again?

"Hehehe~" Xu Damao laughed obscenely: "I can't say it. I can't say it."

"Okay, I get it. It seems this official is quite high-ranking."

"That's right, that's right." Xu Damao nodded heavily.

"Okay, I won't ask any more questions. It just so happened that I went down there a few days ago and got a bottle of more powerful medicine. This medicine is very expensive, this amount." Li Kailang raised his index finger.

"100?"

"Ah."

“Is it really that amazing?”

"Guaranteed to be effective! I won't lie to you. Go back and try it and you will know."

"Okay, if it really works, I'll take it!"

To become an official, 100 yuan is only enough for Li Huaide's financial resources.

Xu Damao wanted to get something for nothing: "I don't have that much money. I'll pay you back after I sell it."

"Okay." Li Kailang was too lazy to argue.

"Hehe, thanks!" Xu Damao thought that after getting the medicine, he would go back and try it with Sai Fengxian first. If it really worked, he would recommend it to Li Huaide.

Wouldn’t it be great if it could double it?

I can make money and become an official. How come I have to encounter such a good thing?

Xu Damao became extremely excited at the thought of being on equal footing with Liu Haizhong.

Li Kailang asked again: "By the way, now that you are an official, do you still show movies?"

"What the hell! I'm an official now, why would I show movies? Isn't that lowering my status? How can an official show movies?"

"You are the only projectionist in our factory. If you don't show movies anymore, who will? Have you ever thought about teaching others how to show movies?"

Xu Damao waved his hand and said, "Teach others? You must be joking. This is the skill my father passed on to me. How can I pass it on to others? If I don't want to teach you, just find someone who knows how to do it."

"Okay, then you work hard." Li Kailang nodded. Just based on these words, Xu Damao would not be able to get promoted.

The factory was the only one that showed movies to rural villages, but not only did it not show them itself, it also didn’t teach others.

How could other projectionists change jobs to other factories if they had nothing to do? If there was no one to show movies, that would be a disaster. Xu Damao just wanted to get promoted, and he used all his connections, but in the end he was demoted.

"Da Mao is having dinner!" Sai Fengxian shouted in the backyard. Xu Damao looked at Li Kailang and said, "Hurry up and give me the good medicine."

"Okay, I'll send it to you later."

"Thanks, just wait for my good news, I'm going to be an official, hehe~"

Xu Damao stood up immediately, without listening to Liu Haizhong's nonsense, and even glanced at him as he passed by.

"Hey, what does Xu Damao mean by this?" Liu Haizhong was a little annoyed. His attitude changed too quickly.

He was acting like a fawning lackey just now, how come he has changed so much now and even dares to glance at him?

He pretended to go back and brought a bottle of the same top-grade medicine as Lou Zhenhua to Xu Damao.

"Let me make it clear first. I only have this one bottle. It will be gone after I finish it. I can't make it either, so eat it sparingly."

"Yes, thank you."

After seeing Li Kailang off, Xu Damao quickly ate two mouthfuls of rice and then looked at Sai Fengxian with lustful eyes.

"Da Mao, what are you doing?"

"What do I do? Of course I do what I have to do."

"Well, I'm not full yet."

"It's okay to skip a meal, come on, baby!"

the next day.

Xu Damao carefully packed up the upgraded version of Qianjin Fang Pro. Plus and placed it in his arms.

We walked all the way to the steel mill and went to Li Huaide’s office.

I met Li Huaide who had just arrived at work at the door.

"Director Li!"

Li Huaide looked at Xu Damao's cautious appearance and knew that he was here to deliver medicine.

Although it was a bit strange, after all, he hadn't finished eating yet and it was sent to him like this.

He looked around to make sure no one was watching, then called out, "Come in first."

"Oh." Xu Damao followed Li Huaide into the office.

Without waiting for Li Huaide to speak, Xu Damao couldn't wait to say, "Director Li, I have a more powerful medicine. Do you want to try it?"

"Even more powerful, how powerful?" Li Huaide raised his eyebrows.

The previous medicines all had good effects, but this kid Xu Damao can actually get something even more powerful.

"It's amazing. There's only one bottle of this medicine. Any more is useless. Even the master craftsman can't make it. There's only one bottle." Xu Damao praised.

Li Huaide waved his hands impatiently: "Alright, there's no need to say anything else. How powerful is this medicine?"

Xu Damao patted his chest and raised his head: "Li Changzi, how do you think I am doing?"

Li Huaide took a look at it but couldn't figure out what it was. "It's fine. What's wrong?"

"Hey, Director Li, you don't know the power of this medicine. I took one last night, and I haven't closed my eyes since then. I haven't slept all night."

"You didn't sleep all night? Really? You are not lying!" Li Huaide looked at Xu Damao in surprise.

Xu Damao dares to say this even though he works from nine to five. He has not slept for at least 12 hours, but he is still so energetic. This medicine is amazing!

"Really, Director Li, who are you? How dare I lie to you? I really didn't sleep all night. My wife was tossed around by me seven or eight times. She kept yelling, "Mom, I can't stand it anymore."

"When she woke up this morning, her legs were shaking so much that she couldn't even stand steadily."

Xu Damao vividly described Sai Fengxian's situation this morning.

"Okay, okay! Boy, my love for you is not in vain!" Li Huaide patted Xu Damao's shoulder with great satisfaction and stretched out his hand to hook his finger.

Xu Damao immediately understood and quickly took out the medicine, lifting the cloth layer by layer to reveal the small bottle.

When he opened the bottle stopper, he found only 9 pills inside. He thought that one must have been eaten by Xu Damao. He was immediately unhappy, but he couldn't get angry.

Just think of it as Xu Damao testing the medicine for himself, so one less person won’t matter.

"Seeing how energetic you are, I believe your medicine must be effective. Tell me how much it costs and I'll buy it."

Xu Damao flattered, "Director Li wants it, how can I ask for money? Isn't this embarrassing for me? I'm giving it to you."

"Haha." Li Huaide knew that free things were the most expensive, so he naturally would not accept it.

"How can this be? It's what it is. I appreciate your kindness, and I won't let you suffer any loss." Li Huaide patted Xu Damao's shoulder with satisfaction.

"Tell me, what is it?"

"Hehe~ Hehe~" Xu Damao rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said slowly: "Director Li, I want to be an official."

"Be an official?!" Li Huaide's expression changed slightly.

Xu Damao quickly added: "I'm not a high-ranking official. I just want to be a team leader, which is not a high-ranking official."

"Be the team leader?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Damao said with a flattering smile.

"This official is indeed not very important."

"Yes, yes, just a small official." Xu Damao pinched his little finger.

Li Huaide looked at the medicine in his hand.

The official position is not high, but why should Xu Damao be an official? Is it just because of the medicine in his hand? The value is not enough.

"You are indeed a low-ranking official. Wait for me to find some time to see if there is any vacancy in the logistics department. You will come first. But you also know the current situation in the factory."

"No one is being promoted, and this position won't be vacant. So, you should do your job well first, and when there is an opportunity, I will give you priority."

"Okay! Thank you, Director Li!" Xu Damao bowed happily to express his gratitude.

"No, no." Li Huaide patted his shoulder again: "Oh, by the way, how much is this medicine? I'll give it to you."

"Director Li, this medicine is for you. How can I ask for money?"

"Well, let's put it this way. You paid for it, too. I can't let you suffer a loss."

"Tell me a number."

Xu Damao raised two fingers and said with a smile, "200."

The offer suddenly frightened Li Huaide so much that he staggered and almost fell to the ground. His leisurely mood just now suddenly became unbelievable.

"How many did you say?"

"200. Director Li, I didn't raise the price. This is the price. I didn't ask for a penny more. This is the price. I only have one bottle of this medicine."

"Go back and try this medicine. I guarantee it's worth the price. I'm not lying to you. Director Li, please believe me!"

Seeing Xu Damao about to cry, Li Huaide couldn't help but believe it a little. How could such a person want to deceive others?

"I hope this medicine is as powerful as you say. 200 is 200."

Li Huaide immediately took out 20 big black tens from the drawer and took out 5 more.

"Take it. Consider it your hard work fee. Don't refuse it."

"Yes, thank you, Director Li."

Xu Damao accepted it happily. He made 150 yuan just by reselling it. It was really easy to make money. Not a penny was wasted.

Li Huaide waved his hand: "Okay, go back to work."

"Okay." Xu Damao left happily like a pug, still immersed in the joy of making money and becoming an official.

"Hmph! Wishful thinking!" Li Huaide sneered, looking at the upgraded version of Qianjin Fang Pro Plus in his hand.

"I hope this medicine is as useful as you said. If it is really useful..." Li Huaide didn't know how to treat Xu Damao.

Should I really be given a small official position, or should I keep it the same as before?
