Xu Damao was a man of his word. Without waiting until tomorrow, he fired the projectionist that very night, and his promising projector job was gone.
Bang Geng was initially unconvinced. He figured he'd already mastered the technique of projecting movies, and if they didn't want him here, there were plenty of other places that would!
So he went to the Red Star Cinema to talk to them.
When they asked him for a letter of introduction, he was completely dumbfounded.
After leaving the Red Star Cinema, Banggeng walked aimlessly down the street.
He then realized, what use is learning how to project movies?
The film belongs to the government, the equipment belongs to the government, and even the projectionist's identity is government-owned.
Xu Damao was delaying his promotion to a permanent position precisely because he was guarding against this move!
A few days later, the fat man went to work in the morning and happened to run into the newly appointed street director.
Director Wang is too old and has retired. The current director is surnamed Fan, and he is a man.
The two walked one after the other, and the fat man clearly saw that Director Fan's car wheel ran directly over a sanitation worker's broom.
Then, without any mercy, he scolded, "Take off your mask! Are you too ashamed to show your face? Is this how you work?"
When that person took off their mask and looked, wasn't this a great joke?
The fat man quickly pedaled a few times, and the bicycle sped past Banggeng, leaving behind a mocking remark: "Hey, Banggeng, sweeping the streets?"
Then, he strode away, leaving only a dashing silhouette for Bang Geng.
Banggeng got a severe scolding from the neighborhood director and was laughed at by the fat man. He was so angry that he threw down his broom and sat on the curb, feeling too ashamed to face anyone.
Just then, a leather shoe stepped on the large broom he had thrown away: "Hey, isn't this a 'bang genie'?"
Bang Geng looked up and saw Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and the others...
Enemies meeting are bound to be furious, and Banggeng got up and charged at them.
As a result, he was kicked hard in the chest, and his whole body was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the main road, reminding him of the humiliation he suffered eight years ago!
A chubby man appeared behind Liu Guangfu.
If Fatty were here, he'd definitely recognize him. Isn't this an elephant? When did Liu Guangtian and his gang recruit him too?
Where there are elephants, there are bound to be rats. This kid walked up to Banggeng with an air of superiority: "Kid, you're not convinced, are you?"
Banggeng clenched his fists so tightly he almost ground his teeth to powder. He raised his head and glared at the mouse with a venomous look.
Rat is neither Yi Zhonghai nor Sha Zhu, so he wouldn't tolerate him and slapped him hard across the face!
Banggeng's face swelled up at a visible speed, and Haozi was still aggrieved: "What are you doing? What are you doing? I don't even know you, why are you looking at me so fiercely? Kid, listen up, we're here today to give you a chance to make a fortune... How about it? Come work for me from now on, I guarantee you'll earn much more than sweeping the streets here. If you don't believe me, look at us brothers, aren't we all rich?"
Bang Geng's bottom line is also quite flexible. If Xu Damao is willing to teach him how to project movies, he will follow Xu Damao, even though it was Xu Damao who instructed Liu Guangfu and his gang back then.
If Sha Zhu could get him a job as a driver, he would immediately call Sha Zhu "Dad," even though he had said back then, "A fool wants to be my dad? I will never step into their house!"
Now that Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are telling him that Banggeng can make him rich, what's the big deal if he's flexible with his bottom line? Even if they stripped him of his cotton-padded trousers and hung a pair of worn-out shoes around his neck back then.

As soon as the fat man arrived at the factory and went to the head office in the office building, the phone on his desk rang.
After the call connected, I found it was a police officer: "Fatty, come over this morning, there's something I need to explain to you."
Looks like something's happened again. A little while later, when Benleihu and Qinlonghu arrived, the fat man gave them a brief explanation before riding his bicycle to the police station.
The police officer did indeed get promoted; he's now an instructor. He has his own car and his own office.
The fat man knocked and entered his office. The policeman tossed him a cigarette and said, "Sit down. If you want some water, pour yourself some."
The fat man lit a cigarette: "You must be so busy. Don't stand on ceremony, let's get straight to the point."
The policeman laughed: "You little rascal. Oh, and I have some good news for you first."
"Good news?"
"Your sister Yushui gave birth to another daughter for me, so now I have both a son and a daughter!"
He Yushui had a son named Dongdong before; now she has a daughter. This police officer is really lucky.
Fatty had always wanted another child, but despite trying with Yu Li for a long time, they still couldn't conceive.
"Are you telling me good news? You've come to Versailles!"
"Versailles? Isn't that a palace?"
"..."
After exchanging a few casual words, the policeman turned to the fat man and said seriously, "Winter is here, and the unemployed youths on the streets are starting to get restless again."
The fat man immediately understood: "The ice rink is opening, right?"
To everyone's surprise, the policeman shook his head: "I'm not talking about those petty squabbles between the kids from the compound and the young people in the community! I'm talking about last time. Although Zhang Jing was dealt with by us, Grandma Monkey is still around, and Yang Weimin didn't show his face last time either. They are the real trouble, and big trouble at that."
The police officer stood up, took out a document, and handed it to the fat man: "The smuggling situation in Beijing is getting more and more serious. The higher-ups are planning a big operation, and our police station and your workers' disciplinary team will be involved. Go back and prepare. You still need to practice what you need to practice. Don't try to cram at the last minute."
Even after leaving the police station, Fatty was still thinking that a big operation was about to begin, and Yang Weimin and his gang's good days were coming to an end.
Since he was already there, the fat man didn't want to go back to the factory, so he turned the steering wheel and went straight home.
As soon as they arrived at their doorstep, they were stopped.
Secretary Chen got out of a Jeep parked nearby with a smile and called out to him, "Kid, missed me?"
Secretary Chen?! The fat man was overjoyed: "Brother, am I dreaming? It really is you!"
The two hugged each other excitedly, and Secretary Chen pounded the fat man's back hard: "I haven't seen you for years, and you're still so fat."
The fat man hurriedly invited him into the house, but Secretary Chen stopped him, saying, "Don't be shy, hurry up, push the car in, and take all your bottles and jars with you. Get in the car and come with me!"
He's back, so naturally the big boss and his wife have also returned.
The fat man said repeatedly, "Okay, okay, brother, wait for me for two minutes, I'll be right out with some stuff."
"..."
The big boss didn't expect that the fat guy would bring him a gift this time.
