Upon hearing this, Lin Yang put down his wine glass, picked up a peanut and popped it into his mouth. He squinted at Xu Damao and said, "You don't come here unless you have something to say. I knew you had something to say."
"Hehehe." Xu Damao had a very low alcohol tolerance. After drinking a few cups of Moutai, he was already a little tipsy, and his long face had turned bright red.
After laughing a few times, he looked at Lin Yang and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to become a section chief, just like you."
"Why are you telling me this? Go talk to your section chief!" Lin Yang thought Xu Damao wanted to see him for something else, but he didn't expect him to be asking him for a promotion.
This is like worshipping the wrong temple while carrying a pig's head.
He himself worked in the security department, while Xu Damao worked in the propaganda department.
Leaving aside whether they want a promotion or not, these are not even in the same system.
To everyone's surprise, upon hearing his section chief's name, Xu Damao immediately shouted:
"What use is that good-for-nothing? Why would I need to beg him?"
"I usually eat and drink with the factory director and others when I have nothing to do. I don't even want to see that pot-bellied, worthless section chief."
Lou Xiao'e was speechless when she saw Xu Damao talking nonsense. She knew her man inside and out.
He's utterly useless, yet he loves to brag.
If he really does what he says, eating and drinking with the factory director and other leaders and calling them brothers.
So why am I still a projectionist, and why has my salary never increased?
Lin Yang didn't hold back with Xu Damao either, and said with a mocking expression, "Xu Damao, you're so awesome, why don't you ask the factory manager to help you!"
However, Xu Damao suddenly glared with bloodshot eyes and said:
"How could I not have said that! Those leaders all agreed at the dinner table, but when I went to ask them about it the next day, they all refused to talk about it, saying that they never said anything like that!"
"I was wondering if it was because I hadn't given them a gift, but after I did, those people were still pretending to be crazy and playing dumb!"
"Not long after, my damn section chief somehow found out about this and actually said that I was a toad trying to eat swan meat and that there was no way I would be promoted."
Lin Yang was stunned. He had only said it jokingly, since normally you need to have a good relationship with your boss to get promoted.
Although he wasn't particularly knowledgeable about official matters.
But we also know that a local official is more powerful than a distant one; this is an age-old truth.
Even if Xu Damao wanted a promotion, he should have gone to his section chief.
The reason he was able to become the head of the publicity department must be because he has someone backing him.
What's the point of talking to the factory manager and the others? Even if you give them gifts, it won't help.
Is a lousy projectionist really better than a propaganda department head?
They'll definitely accept the gifts but won't do anything about it.
Even Xu Damao wouldn't dare say a word against it.
Seeing that Lin Yang didn't speak, Xu Damao continued:
“Yangzi, I saw you getting close to Tan Xuebiao, the director of the factory office, last time. Why don’t you ask him to have our section chief promote me?”
"Of course, I definitely won't let you do this for nothing!"
Lin Yang shook his head and refused, saying, "Xu Damao, I'm not very close to Tan Xuebiao, and I can't talk to him, so I can't help you."
Just kidding. I have absolutely no relationship with Tan Xuebiao. Even if we did, why would I do anything for a petty person who just talks big?
Xu Damao's eyes widened even more, and he frowned, saying:
"Yangzi, don't lie to me!"
“I saw you walking with Tan Xuebiao at the factory before, and his expression when he spoke was all ingratiating!”
"Given his appearance, he'd definitely help you if you just said a word!"
He then pointed to the Moutai on the table and said, "If you agree to help, I'll buy you two bottles of Moutai!"
Lin Yang became interested at this moment, and he couldn't help but look at Xu Damao and say, "Xu Damao, why don't you go to your section chief yourself?"
He was genuinely curious; those two bottles of Moutai weren't cheap.
In addition, there were the gifts that Xu Damao had previously given to the leaders of various factories.
All in all, they could probably get a section chief position from the head of the propaganda department.
According to his information, this head of the propaganda department was someone who took money to do things.
To Lin Yang's surprise, Xu Damao spat on the ground with a disdainful expression and said:
"That loser? Giving him gifts?"
"It's a good thing I didn't hit him."
"He always has a stern face, like someone owes him money!"
"I just ride a bicycle, and he criticizes me all day long!"
"I would rather lose my money than give it to him!"
Lin Yang never expected that Xu Damao would have such a strained relationship with his direct superior.
And he even looked down on his own section chief.
If that's the case, it's no wonder Xu Damao hasn't been promoted.
Which leader would promote a subordinate who dislikes them?
That's just asking for trouble.
Lou Xiao'e was originally enjoying her peanuts.
Seeing Xu Damao spitting his saliva, covered in food scraps, onto the floor he had painstakingly cleaned, he couldn't help but say speechlessly:
"Da Mao, can't you be a little more civilized? This is your own home!"
"Sweeping and mopping the floor is hard work too!"
Since marrying into the Xu family, Lou Xiao'e has transformed from a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger into an ordinary person who cooks, washes dishes, and sweeps the floor.
After discovering that she and Xu Damao had no children, she often brought food from her own home to try and please the Xu family.
Upon discovering that Xu Damao showed no appreciation for the results of his hard work in cleaning, a surge of anger immediately welled up within him.
