The steel rolling mill's leadership offices were all on the same floor, with the top two leaders occupying the outermost positions, while the other leaders were in the middle. Qiao Erbao's office was near the stairwell, in the noisiest and worst location.

Huang Xian had just arrived at his floor when he heard Huang Xian laughing in his office, which surprised him greatly. This was the first underling Huang Xian had recruited at the steel mill, who had been abandoned due to some health reasons.

For a long time afterward, Huang Xian was listless. He's been a little better in recent years, but he's still like an invisible person. He only raises his hand to lead in meetings, and in his office, he's always reading newspapers or practicing calligraphy. Why is he smiling so early in the morning? Could some good news be on his way?

Driven by curiosity, Huang Xian went to Qiao Erbao's office. As soon as he entered, he saw Xu Damao, and his surprise was no less than Qiao Erbao's.

"Xu Damao, what are you doing here?" Huang Xian blurted out.

Upon seeing the factory manager, the men stopped smiling and became extremely respectful. Wu Da, however, was seething with rage. Even a fool like him knew Xu Damao was no ordinary man; otherwise, he wouldn't know the factory manager and deputy manager, and seem so familiar with them.

"Factory manager, this Xu Damao is here to clean for me. You know what, he's a pretty good worker. Why don't you transfer him here to clean for me?"

Before Xu Damao could answer Huang Xian's question, Qiao Erbao started teasing. He knew in his heart that Xu Damao was definitely up to no good, but that no good had anything to do with him, so he didn't mind adding fuel to the fire.

"Cleaning? Are you serious?" Huang Xian looked suspicious; this was too abnormal. As the saying goes, anything unusual is suspicious, these two might be conspiring to do something bad.

Seeing that Huang Xian had misunderstood, Qiao Erbao didn't even need Xu Damao to say anything; he quickly explained the whole story.

"Outrageous! What are these people in the office doing? They force others to do things when they don't have any people of their own, and they even called over a department head to clean up. They have absolutely no sense of organization."

"Young man, you're from the office, right? Go and call your Director Zhou over here. I want to hear his explanation to me," Huang Xian said angrily.

Whether he was truly angry or not, everyone knew the answer. He didn't manage the office, and the office director wasn't one of his people. Seeing that Xu Damao and Qiao Erbao had laid the groundwork, Huang Xian immediately took the initiative to push things forward.

Huang Xian was overjoyed, thinking, "Wouldn't it be wonderful to take this opportunity to strike a blow against Zhou Fenglin and make Lao Yang and Lao Li look foolish?"

Xu Damao stood there motionless, expressionless. He had called everyone back yesterday, and Zhou Fenglin had even sent people to the armed forces department to demand their return, indicating that the other side genuinely didn't take him, Xu Damao, seriously, or were just putting on a show for him. Since they insisted on having his men, it wasn't unreasonable for Xu Damao to come and clean.

At this point, Wu Da was completely certain he was embroiled in trouble. What kind of mess is this? He worked himself to the bone cleaning up early in the morning, only to be killed before he even got started. He guessed he was destined to clean offices for the rest of his life. Wu Da, meaning "no way to succeed," it seems his father was right about the name he gave him.

With his head down, Wu Da resignedly went to find Zhou Fenglin, the office director.

"Director Zhou, Factory Director Huang is looking for you in Factory Director Qiao's office. He wants you to go there right away," Wu Da said upon seeing Zhou Fenglin.

"In Director Qiao's office? What's going on?" Zhou Fenglin asked, puzzled. When did these two get together? Could it be that they've rekindled their old flame?

"Um, leader, who is this Xu Damao?" Wu Da had only been at the company for a short time and really didn't know Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao? What does he have to do with you?" Upon hearing this name, Zhou Fenglin's face visibly darkened.

"He...he doesn't care about my affairs, and I don't know him, but this Xu Damao is also in the office upstairs. And then, and then..." Wu Da really couldn't continue when he said "and then".

"And then what? Hurry up, the boss is waiting for me," Zhou Fenglin said impatiently.

"Then Xu Damao helped me clean our office today." Wu Da lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhou Fenglin.

"You're letting Xu Damao clean your office? You've got some nerve! If you have nothing to do with this, then get out of here and go home. Don't embarrass yourself here." Zhou Fenglin knew things were going badly when he heard that Xu Damao was cleaning the office.

He could look down on Xu Damao, make fun of him, and even engage in petty tricks, but having a division-level cadre clean his office was a major taboo in officialdom. Xu Damao had already been demoted to the Armed Forces Department, and they were still having him clean. If word got out, it would make the office director, and even the factory leaders behind him, seem petty and ruthlessly suppressing division-level cadres.

In the workplace, no one can have a smooth journey forever, so you have to at least save face on the surface, because you might be the next one to suffer.

Some people initially wanted to laugh at Xu Damao, but after this incident, they will definitely stand on Xu Damao's side.

"Director, Xu Damao not only cleaned our office, but also yours and Director Qiao's office," Wu Da continued, dropping bombshells.

"I...you guys..." Zhou Fenglin clutched his chest, unable to utter a single curse word. He had a bunch of incompetent teammates; what was he going to do? At this moment, he desperately wanted an answer.

But what's coming will come, and what needs to be faced will be faced. Zhou Fenglin dawdled as he walked to the door of Qiao Erbao's office.

"What are you doing standing at the door? My dear Director Zhou, come in!" Huang Xian called out.

"Factory manager, I really didn't know Minister Xu..." Zhou Fenglin was on the verge of tears.

"Factory Director, this isn't Director Zhou's fault. The office is short-staffed, so it's normal for them to ask us for people. It's just that our Armed Forces Department has been busy lately, and everyone else is unavailable. Since the office insists on having someone come, I'm the only one who's free."

"It's all the same, it's all the same." Xu Damao said nonchalantly, indicating that he didn't care.

"Minister Xu, why are you personally cleaning up? Why are you trying to screw me over?" Zhou Fenglin looked at Xu Damao's smiling face and felt like tearing his heart apart.

"Director Zhou's words are problematic. Revolutionary work has no distinction between big and small. What ordinary staff can do, leaders can certainly do as well. Look at me, I'm doing a good job, aren't I?"

"Director Zhou, please check. Oh, by the way, I also swept your office this morning," Xu Damao said.

"Clean, very clean."

"By the way, Director Zhou, which leader asked Minister Xu to come and clean?" Huang Xian asked casually.
