Wang Dabao didn't really care. He had experienced too many things like this in his previous life. It was just a matter of human relationships!
Although Wang Dabao was only a deputy section chief, he worked in the security department. In a sense, he was on the same level as the workshop director in the factory, but only someone with a completely rusty brain would compare the two.
"If you ask me, Section Chief Wang of the Political and Values Section is very enthusiastic towards you, Section Chief, in three ways."
As they walked, Feng Biao kept his head down in thought. It wasn't until they reached the security department building that he looked up and said, "Chief Wang, would you like to listen to this?!"
"Please don't say it's because I'm good-looking." Hearing Feng Biao say this, Wang Dabao became interested. He then thought of two points and wanted to hear what Feng Biao's three points were.
"Wang Ke, you know what, with your looks you could actually be in movies. Your appearance is much gentler than those actors."
Feng Biao said very seriously, "Everyone likes to be around good-looking people, that's only human nature, that's just one reason."
“Okay, so I have a gentle appearance, right? I’ll take that as a compliment. This way, I can have a future even if I don’t become the section chief.” Wang Dabao continued, “Go on.”
Thinking of the previous suspense, Feng Biao immediately replied when Wang Dabao asked, "The second reason must be the nature of our security department. Before, Section Chief Hu was abstinent and it was very difficult to invite him to dinner. Now that you're here, everyone's eyes are on you."
Wang Dabao nodded, glancing at Feng Biao discreetly.
Feng Biao's words had many implications, but they were also meant to be a friendly reminder.
"The third reason may be related to your deeds."
"My exploits?" Wang Dabao laughed. "You mean the time you escorted the workpiece?"
"You may not know, but the factory is talking about you like a legend now."
The two arrived at the door of the security team's duty room. Feng Biao stepped forward and pushed the door open, letting Wang Dabao go in first. He then said, "He's practically Zhao Zilong reincarnated. I've heard three versions of his story."
"Wow, three more versions now. Perhaps you could trouble Captain Feng to explain them to us again..."
Wang Dabao sat in the chair, looking at Feng Biao with amusement, as if the story Feng Biao was telling wasn't about him.
Feng Biao was a little embarrassed. He found a clean cup, put some tea leaves in it, and then picked up the thermos to pour water. "Some people say that it is a relative of one of your soldiers. They say that you killed your way in and out of the enemy camp with a knife and brought back the enemy leader's head."
So even Zhao Zilong has to call me his little brother!
Wang Dabao almost fainted after hearing this, and quickly waved his hand, "Alright, stop talking, I'm too ashamed to listen to anything more."
Feng Biao chuckled: "The rumors that follow are even more outlandish, but we won't go into that if you don't want to hear them."
Feng Biao placed the teacup on the table in front of Wang Dabao, as if he had just remembered something. "By the way, Wang Ke, you're asking for this spot for a relative, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
Wang Dabao nodded, "My uncle is a retired soldier who has nothing to do, so I was thinking of finding him a job."
That's right, Wang Dabao remembered this matter when he returned to Wangjialou Village. However, he did not inform Third Uncle Wang Tiemin at the time, thinking that it would be better to talk about it later if things went well, and he would have a way out if things didn't work out.
Upon hearing that Wang Dabao had indeed found the job for a relative, Feng Biao laughed: "You got rid of Zhao Zhongyi and his henchmen before, and now the security team is short-handed. Your relative is a veteran, so I think he should come to the security team and be my deputy."
Wang Dabao stared at the edge sealing for a moment, leaving Feng Biao completely bewildered.
"Aren't you afraid that my relative will gain a foothold in the security team, and then I'll remove you and let him take your place?" Wang Dabao looked calmly at Feng Biao.
"You mean this?"
Feng Biao slurped down a mouthful of tea from his mug, slammed it down on the table, and said with an air of bravado, "Wang Ke, you underestimate me, Feng Biao. If your relative has the ability, I'd gladly give up my position as team leader."
"Don't let my appearance fool you; I sit in the duty room all day smoking, drinking tea, and chatting with my buddies. Actually, all the big and small things happening in the factory are on my mind!"
Feng Biao smiled mysteriously, patted his big head, and smiled smugly, as if he were showing off to Wang Dabao.
As a result, Wang Dabao shut him down with just one sentence.
"But all I see you doing is sitting in the duty room all day, smoking and drinking tea, chatting and joking around with your buddies!"
"Well..." Feng Biao was speechless for a moment after Wang Dabao's words. "You'll have to see about that later. You've only been here a short time."
Wang Dabao nodded: "Oh, okay, then Lao Feng, you'd better do your best in the future."
After waiting in the security team's duty room for a while, Wang Dabao checked his watch and saw it was almost four o'clock, so he prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he quietly went upstairs and peeked through the crack in Section Chief Hu's door. Seeing that Section Chief Hu was still looking at those documents, he returned to the security team's duty room and told Feng Biao to find Section Chief Hu if he needed anything, as he had to leave first.
Back at the courtyard house, Wang Dabao was relieved to not see Yan Bugui upon entering.
Comrade Yan still loves his work!
Before they had even passed the side room of Old Yan's house, Yan Jiecheng rushed out of the room.
"Uncle Da Bao, Uncle Da Bao, wait a minute."
"It's Jiecheng."
Wang Dabao stopped pushing his bicycle and looked at the other person with a puzzled expression. "Don't rush, catch your breath first. What happened to you?"
Yan Jiecheng shook his head like a madman: "Nothing, oh no, something is wrong."
Before Wang Dabao could speak, Yan Jiecheng hurriedly said, "It's like this, Uncle Dabao, what do you think about me becoming the Third Uncle?!"
"What the heck?!"
Yan Jiecheng's question left Wang Dabao completely bewildered: "Isn't Third Uncle your father?"
"No, no, it's just that I also want to run for the position of mediator in the compound," Yan Jiecheng explained, waving his hand.
Wang Dabao hissed as if he understood, and then said, "Jiecheng, it might be difficult for you to run for the position of mediator. Look at your dad, Lao Yan, he's a mediator. If you succeed in the election, then your family will have two big shots. Do you think everyone can handle that?"
Wang Dabao was truly speechless. How come when it comes to promoting and appointing young cadres, all sorts of nobodies want to get a piece of the pie?
First it was Jia Dongxu, now Yan Jiecheng has appeared, will some other character come out tonight?
"Jiecheng, does your dad know about this?" Wang Dabao felt that Yan Bugui definitely didn't know about this, otherwise Yan Jiecheng wouldn't have such thoughts.
Not to mention Wang Dabao's unwillingness, he absolutely cannot get past Liu Haizhong's hurdle.
"My dad doesn't know yet. I wasn't home last night, and my mom just told me about it when I got back." Yan Jiecheng chuckled and pulled out two deflated cigarettes from his pocket. "Uncle Dabao, don't mind them, have some."
There wasn't even a cigarette pack, which made Wang Dabao's mouth twitch.
No wonder he seemed a bit awkward running over here; he was afraid of breaking the cigarette.
