At Xu's house, Sun Xia, with her big belly, sat aside and helped Xu Damao pour wine.
Li Qinghe deliberately avoided looking at her. This woman had many lovers in the countryside. Cui Dake had found out that there were two of them. They didn't stop even when she was pregnant. It was really scary.
"Come on, buddy, let's have a drink!"
The smile on Xu Damao's face never disappeared, and he laughed so hard that Li Qinghe felt tired for him. He couldn't help but wonder if he would laugh as long as He Yuzhu was locked up.
"Brother Damao, I'm sorry for letting you spend money today." Li Qinghe raised his glass to express his gratitude.
"Look at you, what are you saying? It's just a meal, and you're already being polite to your brother." Xu Damao frowned and said unhappily.
After a glass of wine, Xu Damao was filled with emotion. "Brother, I knew from a young age that you had a bright future and were a good student. In the future, you will definitely be more successful than us. Look, you are doing very well in the factory, and the two factory directors have both shown great favor to you."
Li Qinghe rolled his eyes secretly and muttered in his heart: Come on, you knew from a young age that I had a promising future and was good at studying. If my original body had not only graduated from junior high school, I would have believed it. When we were kids, you bullied my original body a lot. Except for Jia Dongxu, you bullied him the most.
But he said modestly: "Brother Damao, please don't flatter me. Whether I have a future or not is unknown to outsiders. The factory director takes care of me because my father sacrificed his life, not because I have the ability. If he really wants to take care of me, I would still be a worker after so long. I should at least become a leader."
After hearing this, Xu Damao didn't know whether to accept it or not. "The factory director didn't give you a leadership position. Maybe it's because you don't have enough years of service and you're afraid of being gossiped about. Besides, I heard that you know a director. Why are you hiding your abilities from your brother?"
He didn't know it at first, but this was not a secret. Many people in the whole yard knew about it. How could he not receive any information?
Li Qinghe smiled bitterly, "You said this, everyone in the hospital should think so, right?"
"What else?"
Xu Damao prepared a lot of speeches today, and he planned to play the emotional card, and then ask Li Qinghe to help him get a position.
Li Qinghe looked helpless, "That's really a misunderstanding. That director... I won't tell you what his position is. It has to be kept secret. This is what happened. At the beginning..."
He told the story, that the elder in the director's family was seriously ill and wanted to eat a bowl of soy sauce noodles, but couldn't find the flavor he wanted anywhere, so finally they volunteered to make a bowl for him.
Afterwards, feeling grateful for the old man’s contribution, he wanted to say farewell to him one last time, so he sent a car to pick him up.
After a brief recount of the incident, Xu Damao felt a little depressed and he didn't know how to respond.
"What's all this? It means that Li Qinghe has nothing to do with anything, and it's all just speculation by the people in the hospital?"
Although this was not the result he wanted, for some reason he felt relieved.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he was indeed very jealous of Li Qinghe before.
I think I am very capable and good at dealing with people, but I feel very unhappy when I see my neighbors who are much younger than me are doing better than me.
He sat up straight, patted Li Qinghe's shoulder and consoled him: "Even so, you still have a chance to meet an important person."
In my heart, I was shouting: Why wasn't that person me?! If I had this opportunity, I would have taken off. This Li Qinghe looks smart, but I didn't expect him to be a loser!
"By the way, how did you get those supplies?"
"Hey, a classmate of mine is...Nothing, let's drink, drink." As if realizing that he had let the cat out of the bag, Li Qinghe hurriedly drank to cover it up.
Xu Damao narrowed his eyes and thought: So that's what's going on. I really thought he had such a powerful background, but this is it?
He did not doubt what Li Qinghe said. After all, he did not see any real outstanding qualities of the other party. He believed that he was far inferior to him. Moreover, if he had such strong connections, he would have become a leader long ago and would not have bothered with these people in the hospital.
"Come on, come on, have a drink."
He greeted her with his eyes rolling around.
Afterwards, the two of them clinked glasses and finished the whole bottle of wine.
Xu Damao was a little drunk, so he pulled Li Qinghe aside and asked curiously, "Brother, tell me the truth. Did you pass the word that Liu Haizhong became the leader of the patrol team?"
This is what he cares about most.
If that's the case, he'll have to think about it carefully.
Li Qinghe pretended to be confused and stammered, "Brother Damao is really a joker. I... I don't have that kind of relationship. It's just... Director Li wants to promote... one of his own people, and it just so happens... that an old man gave me some... hiccups... gifts, but it has nothing to do with me..."
Xu Damao's eyes suddenly lit up.
On ordinary days, Director Li appears to be incorruptible and never accepts any gifts from others. It seems that he thinks the gifts are too small.
What is a great gift these days? Of course, it’s something yellow, hard, and dazzling.
As for other things, he couldn't come up with anything good, but he actually had two of this thing.
Before he divorced Lou Xiao'e, he secretly hid three of them. Last time when he was short of money, he went to exchange them for another one.
I originally wanted to change to another one, but the atmosphere became more and more strict, so I didn’t dare to go.
Things that cannot be exchanged are useless. They not only make you anxious, but also take up space.
If you can’t spend it or eat it, then you might as well use it where it should be used.
Xu Damao was so happy, he didn't expect that just by having a meal and drinks, he could get such useful information.
