Chapter 17: Tricking Xu Damao

Before Du Fei traveled through time, the original owner's academic performance was indeed very good. If it weren't for his father's accident, he would definitely be in college now.

In comparison, even though Xu Damao looks like a dog in normal times and often mocks Silly Zhu for his lack of education, in fact he himself has not studied for a few days.

It's just that unlike Silly Zhu, who is an unabashed roughneck, Xu Damao is naturally eloquent. In addition to his job as a movie projectionist, he broadens his horizons and knowledge through watching movies. People often overlook that he has not gone to school much.

Xu Damao may seem shrewd on the surface, but in fact he doesn't have a bright mind, and he can't figure out many things by himself.

Therefore, although he did not say it with his mouth, he admired Du Fei, a high school graduate who almost went to college.

After a few glasses of wine, Xu Damao stopped talking and said with a depressed look, "Xiao Du, there's something I haven't been able to figure out for a long time. You have a good brain, help me analyze it."

Seeing his serious expression, Du Fei put down his chopsticks and stretched out his hand to signal him.

Xu Damao paused and organized his thoughts in his mind, "I started working in 1954 and worked in the factory for more than ten years. I don't think I have much credit, but I am conscientious and have never made any mistakes at work. Ordinarily I I have enough qualifications, so why can’t I get promoted?”

"Be specific." Du Fei interrupted. .??.??

Xu Damao frowned and smacked the table depressedly, "Just tell me that the deputy section chief of the propaganda department in the factory is vacant this time. I ran up and down to take care of it. I spent a lot of effort. I didn't give away anything less and said a lot of good things. Finally, the deputy section chief But it falls on Lao Yang. How can you explain this?"

After hearing what he said, Du Fei smiled, picked up a piece of bacon with his chopsticks and started chewing it.

Xu Damao was suffocating, so he picked up the wine glass and drank the remaining one or two ounces of wine in one gulp.

But he drank a little too much, and it was so spicy that he rolled his eyes, so he quickly picked up the food and pressed it down.

Seeing the old man Du Fei again, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "I'm talking about Xiao Du, you should tell me about it!"

Du Fei shook his head and said, "Brother Damao, you don't want to listen to what I said."

"You say, you say, I listen." Xu Damao said impatiently.

"Actually, this is all your busy work." Du Fei tapped the table with his chopsticks. "No matter how many things you send, the deputy section chief will not fall on you."

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, then became interested.

Although he was not smart, his reaction was not slow. What Du Fei said made him realize that he might have asked the right person this time.

Du Fei did not show off and continued, "Brother Damao, let me ask you first. You asked someone to make a fool of you and wanted to be the deputy section chief of the Propaganda Department. Do you know what the position of this deputy section chief is?"

Xu Damao hesitated and said, "The deputy section chief is just the deputy section chief. What else is there to say?"

Du Fei smiled and said, "Brother Damao, it seems you really don't understand! Let me tell you this, the first man in our courtyard is an eighth-level fitter. He is not very good at it. Why is he still only the team leader now?" Didn’t you even get through as a deputy workshop director?”

Xu Damao blinked. He had never thought about this before.

Du Fei continued, "The Hongxing Zha Steel Factory is a department-level enterprise directly under the Ministry of Industry. That means that the top leader in the factory, Director Yang, is a department-level cadre. If he is released, he will be the mayor of the same place."

Xu Damao recalled carefully, when he was chatting with people in the factory office,

, it seemed that he had heard about the deputy director of the department, but he knew nothing about it, and asked doubtfully, "Xiao Du, what do you think this has to do with me being the deputy section chief?"

"This is of great concern!" Du Fei said sternly, "Since the factory is a department-level unit, the section chief of your publicity department must be a full-time department head if not a deputy department! Brother Damao, think about it for yourself. If you become the deputy chief of the Propaganda Section, you will suddenly become a serious national cadre at the deputy section level! Do you think it is possible to be on the same level as the deputy township chief? "

Xu Damao was confused when he heard this.

It took him a few seconds to realize what he was doing, and he suddenly felt like he had a sudden realization. No wonder when he went to the factory office to find someone to help him get through, people looked at him with that strange look.

It turns out that I was a joke from beginning to end!

A mere worker with no administrative rank wants to be a deputy section chief, and he is afraid that he will make people laugh behind his back.

Xu Damao's old face turned red and he drank a large sip of wine to cover up his embarrassment.

Du Fei had no intention of letting him go, and continued, "Also, there is your job as a movie projectionist. For ordinary workers, this job is definitely a fat job, the salary is not low, and the salary and salary are sufficient. But if you want to go further , but it will become a stumbling block.”

"This... this can't be possible?" Xu Damao didn't believe it. He had always been quite proud of the work of this movie projectionist. How could it become a disadvantage?

However, Du Fei's eloquent talk about "main department and deputy departments" had already frightened him. Although he didn't believe it, he still waited patiently to see what Du Fei had to say.

"Actually, the reason is very simple. Think about it for yourself. There are tens of thousands of people in the steel rolling mill, and you are the only movie projectionist. If you are promoted to be a leader, who will do this job?"

Xu Damao said disapprovingly, "Isn't that possible? Although there aren't many movie theaters in Beijing, it's not easy to transfer someone from the cinema?"

Du Fei patted Xu Damao on the shoulder, "Brother Damao, you still don't understand. You also said that you need to recruit another person. As the old saying goes, one thing more is worse than one less thing, and one thing less is worse than nothing. You are not the only one who can get the upper hand in the factory. "Ma'am, why is the leader asking for trouble and insisting on bringing you up?"

Xu Damao was completely confused and had no way to refute Du Fei's words!

I couldn't help but feel very discouraged. I drank another sip of wine and said in anguish, "According to what you say, I will never be a leader in this life?"

"That's not necessarily the case." Du Fei took a mouthful of food and said, "But you have to be strategic and not act recklessly."

The previous words knocked Xu Damao off his rocker, but this sentence revived his energy.

Xu Damao quickly poured wine for Du Fei and said hopefully, "You can give me some advice. What should I do?"

Du Fei didn't say anything, but just started eating and drinking.

Xu Damao was so anxious that he said, "My brother, please say something!"

Du Fei was able to rectify his flaws. "It's hard to say this, but it's not hard to say it's not."

Xu Damao was said to be confused, "How did you say this?"

Du Fei said, "To put it bluntly, you have to lower your expectations. Let's use an analogy, let's take me as an example. I will go back to the street office. If I insist on insisting on formal cadre establishment, no matter how hard the relationship is, I still have to wait for someone to help me, but as long as I am a temporary worker, things will become much easier. It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is easy, but it is really not too difficult." Before Du Fei traveled through time. , the original owner’s academic performance was indeed very good. If it weren’t for his father’s accident, he would definitely be in college now.
