Sha Zhu is a little upset right now.
For no other reason than that none of the three people—Xu Damao, Jia Dongxu, and Zhou Shengli—had a good relationship with him.
As for Xu Damao, the two were like oil and water, and must have had a feud in their past lives involving the murder of his father and the theft of his wife.
As for Jia Dongxu, the two families used to have a fairly good relationship. Because of Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu could tolerate being taken advantage of.
However, recently the two families have been at odds and their relationship has deteriorated rapidly. At one point, Jia Dongxu even replaced Xu Damao in Shazhu's heart and became the first person in the cursed sequence.
The conflict with Zhou Shengli began with the deaf old lady.
It all started last winter. The deaf old lady went out for some fresh air and fell in front of Old Zhou's house on her way back. At that time, he and Yi Zhonghai helped the deaf old lady extort two yuan from the Zhou family for medical expenses.
Although no further conflict arose afterward, from that time onward, Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai had a grudge against the Zhou family.
At this time, Zhou Shengli wanted to take over the position of the person in charge, partly out of a desire to annoy Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.
“Shengli, don’t underestimate yourself. Since Lao Liu has put forward this slogan, it is naturally aimed at all the young people in our institute. Since you live in our institute, you have the right to compete for the position of mediator.”
While carefully examining Zhou Shengli, Wang Dabao said, "But you're wrong about one thing. I'm not among the competitors. I'm used to being lazy and don't like to get involved in these things at the institute."
"oh?"
Zhou Shengli was taken aback, clearly not expecting that Wang Dabao did not intend to compete for the position of manager, which was not good news for him.
After all, his chances of being selected were not high, and he did not want to see Sha Zhu, Jia Dongxu, and others rise to power.
Although Wang Dabao hadn't been in the compound for very long, he had a very good reputation among the residents. He had observed him during a general meeting and felt that Wang Dabao was better than Sha Zhu and the others.
"Da Bao, I just heard you talking to Uncle San about the responsibilities and awareness of youth, so why are you saying you're lazy now?!"
Zhou Shengli laughed heartily, "If you want to run for mediator, how about I, Zhou Shengli, abstain and give you my family's vote instead?!"
Wang Dabao understood Zhou Shengli's words after a little thought.
Although there was a selfish motive, it was a genuine act of kindness, but unfortunately, Wang Dabao really had no interest in the position.
"Victory, thank you for your kindness, but I really hate trouble, so I'll pass."
Wang Dabao waved his hand and then said, "I also asked Lao Liu about it yesterday. The mediator we selected this time should be considered an agent. He must undergo long-term supervision and assessment by all the residents of the compound, and then Lao Liu and Lao Yan will report to the street office before he can officially take office. Therefore, the requirements for this person's character are extremely high."
"We must put the interests of the residents of the compound first. We cannot be like Yi Zhonghai, who openly favored one household or deliberately suppressed a certain resident. If anyone does that, the remaining two mediators have the right to convene a general meeting of the entire compound and remove him immediately."
"I see!"
Zhou Shengli visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression relaxed a bit. "It was the right thing to do. After all, there are still risks involved in appointing young cadres."
Sha Zhu, who was listening from the side, stared blankly. What the heck?
Not an official agent, just a proxy?!
If you don't perform well, you'll be dismissed?!
They want to prioritize the interests of the residents in the compound?!
How can I retaliate against the Jia family and Xu Damao after I take power?
Sha Zhu wanted to ask Wang Dabao for confirmation, but with Zhou Shengli nearby, he couldn't ask directly.
"Alright, it's getting late, I'll head to work now."
After saying that, Wang Dabao smiled and waved goodbye to Zhou Shengli and Sha Zhu, then carried his bicycle up the steps and out the gate.
On the way, Wang Dabao was still humming "My Sister is Sitting at the Bow of the Boat," but his voice was so soft that only he could hear it.
If he sang this in the compound and someone heard it, they might report him, saying that Wang Dabao had been corrupted by hooligan ideas or something. Although he's not afraid, it would still be troublesome.
The compound is quite lively now. The original plan was to remove Yi Zhonghai and promote Xu Damao.
Now look what's happened. Before they even had a chance to mess with Yi Zhonghai, he pulled off a stunt of retreating into a ditch.
Immediately afterwards, Sha Zhu, Jia Dongxu, and Zhou Shengli began to emerge, vying for the position of the steward.
Wang Dabao figured that this was all he could do to help Xu Damao. He would leave the rest to fate. He didn't care who became the manager; if Xu Damao rebelled against him, he could always find a way to bring him down.
Arriving at the south gate of the steel plant, Zheng Jun was the one who ran out to push his bicycle.
Upon arriving at the security team's duty room, steaming hot tea had already been prepared for Section Chief Wang.
"Hey Lao Zheng, are you trying to play the poor card in front of me? All you give me is this stuff to drink all day?!"
Wang Dabao took a sip, his mouth full of broken tea leaves, but he still smiled and joked with Zheng Jun.
Zheng Jun said with a long face, "Section Chief Wang, there's nothing else. My good buddies and I can't afford to drink with them, and we can't get any. We only get a little bit during holidays, and that's all gone now."
Wang Dabao snorted: "Come on, you can practically write on your face that you want it from me."
To be honest, Zheng Jun didn't actually intend to ask Wang Dabao for it. It was just that Wang Dabao wanted to use this as an excuse to give some perks to the brothers at the gate and, incidentally, tease Zheng Jun so that he wouldn't get so nervous whenever he saw him.
He was a little better when there were other people around, but whenever he was alone with Wang Dabao, Zheng Jun's eyes were filled with "I'm so nervous, I'm so nervous!"
"Alright, let's go."
Wang Dabao put down his cup, and as he reached the door, he said to Zheng Jun, "Go and get some of that Gao Mo to exchange for cigarettes for you guys. I'll bring some good ones for you to try tomorrow."
Zheng Jun didn't react immediately. When he first saw Wang Dabao about to leave, he thought his boss was angry.
Despite Wang Dabao's smiling words, Zheng Jun was unsure of himself, as it's difficult to guess what a leader is thinking.
It wasn't until Wang Dabao said the next thing that Zheng Jun felt relieved. It turned out that Section Chief Wang was really joking, and he even managed to get some benefits for his colleagues. Where can you find such a good leader?
