Chapter 348: Mutual Testing
Hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Liu Guangtian dared not refute them.
At this moment, an older woman named Li Chunhua, who was standing nearby, also advised, "Old Liu, what Guangtian said is also a solution. But before that, shouldn't you discuss it with Yan Fugui and Xu Damao? After all, one of them is the second uncle and the other is the third uncle."
Liu Haizhong thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, you're right. I'll go and discuss it with Xu Damao."
Li Chunhua asked with some confusion, "Why only look for Xu Damao?"
Liu Haizhong said with a mix of anger and smugness, "Why? That old guy Yan Fugui is cunning. Now that we're competitors, he might not give me any advice and could even try to sabotage me."
An older woman named Li Chunhua said, "Impossible, right?"
Liu Haizhong said seriously, "Why not? This event not only has awards but also prizes. With Yan Fugui's calculating nature, he'll definitely want to participate. If he wants to participate, wouldn't he be my competitor?"
Li Chunhua said somewhat uncertainly, "But I heard there are two spots available."
Liu Haizhong said somewhat angrily, "You long-haired, short-sighted woman, I'm telling you you don't understand, and you still think you're being unfair. There are two spots, but think about how many people are in our compound!"
At this moment, Li Chunhua suddenly understood.
She looked at Liu Haizhong and said, "But that doesn't make sense, so why did you go to Xu Damao?"
Liu Haizhong said with a smile, "Xu Damao, you could say I promoted him myself. In the past few times, he's been very obedient to me. He's smart and obedient. Don't worry, as long as I don't let him compete, he definitely won't."
Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua suddenly realized what was going on.
Meanwhile, Xu Damao was at home, eating peanuts and drinking a little wine.
Now he lives alone, spends his salary on his own, and enjoys a fulfilling life.
He had also heard about the charity event and was now thinking about how to improve his relationship with He Daqing, since they had a major conflict before.
Xu Damao was dismissive when he first heard the news, but when he heard about the awards, he was immediately tempted.
After all, his reputation isn't good now, and he's a former prisoner.
Xu Damao thought he could use this commendation to salvage some of his reputation.
Just then, Liu Haizhong's knocking and shouting came from outside.
Liu Haizhong knocked on Xu Damao's door and called out, "Damao, is Damao home?"
Upon hearing that it was Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao immediately called out, "Uncle, come in, the door's open."
Liu Haizhong pushed open the door and entered, seeing Xu Damao eating peanuts and drinking wine alone. He smiled and said, "Damao, you have a good quality of life, enjoying this wine."
Xu Damao looked at Liu Haizhong and said with a smile, "Uncle, I can't compare to you. You have a family and several children, unlike me, who is all alone and doesn't have a family to worry about."
Hearing Xu Damao's words, Liu Haizhong pretended to be indignant and said, "Hey, it's all that scoundrel Zhu's fault. If it weren't for him, you might already be married by now, instead of being alone."
Hearing Liu Haizhong defend himself, Xu Damao smiled and said, "That's all in the past. Uncle, what brings you to my house now?"
Upon hearing Xu Damao's question, Liu Haizhong quickly replied, "Damao, I came here to ask you for some advice."
Xu Damao said with a smile, "Uncle, what's wrong? You seem so nervous, wanting some advice?"
Liu Haizhong sighed, "Sigh, it's all because of this news today. Tell me, as a senior member of this compound, Director Wang didn't entrust the task to me, but instead assigned it to He Daqing. What kind of nonsense is this?"
Upon hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Xu Damao immediately understood his purpose and followed up with, "Well, that's exactly how it is. But since Director Wang has assigned He Daqing to handle this matter, there's nothing we can do about it."
Liu Haizhong nodded and said, "That's how it is. That's why I came to you, hoping you could give me some advice on how to get a spot from He Daqing."
Xu Damao thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, this is not a good matter. You know what grudges He Daqing has against us. I think it will be difficult to get him to help us now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong panicked: "What should we do?"
Xu Damao thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Uncle Yi, you go find Uncle Er and ask him to sound out He Daqing for us. After all, I heard there's a reward this time, maybe some gifts or money. You know Uncle Er's personality, he definitely won't miss it."
Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Liu Haizhong instantly understood and nodded, saying, "Damao, you're really quick-witted."
Then he looked at Xu Damao and said, "Damao, you're not going to try and take this from me, are you?"
Xu Damao looked at Liu Haizhong, cursing him a thousand times in his heart, but still said with a smile, "Uncle, what are you saying? How could I possibly compete with you for such an opportunity?"
Hearing Xu Damao say this, Liu Haizhong immediately beamed with joy: "Damao, it has to be you. Don't worry, as long as I'm the boss from now on, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits."
Hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Xu Damao was dismissive, but he still smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll benefit from your help from now on."
After Liu Haizhong left, Xu Damao glared angrily at the empty room and cursed, "That old bastard Liu Haizhong, with his pig brain, he thinks he can stop me from arguing with him? If he weren't still of some use, would I be talking to him like this? Just you wait, Liu Haizhong, after I'm done with you, I'll kick you to the curb!"
After leaving Xu Damao's house, Liu Haizhong went straight to Yan Fugui's house in the front yard.
Yan Fugui looked at Liu Haizhong who had just arrived and said with a smile, "Old Liu, what brings you here?"
Liu Haizhong went straight to the point, saying, "Old Yan, you've heard about this. It's such a good thing. I think in our compound, besides the two of us, who else deserves these two spots?"
Yan Fugui looked at Liu Haizhong and said with a smile, "Old Liu, you're right. We're an old man and an old man, so we really have to set an example in this kind of thing."
Liu Haizhong smiled and looked at Yan Fugui, saying, "Yes, that's why I've come to discuss with you how to get these two spots from He Daqing."
Hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Yan Fugui thought for a moment and said, "This might be a bit difficult, after all, you know what happened before."
Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Fugui and said with a smile, "Yes, but Lao Yan, I heard that the reward this time is quite generous. Think about it, this is a rare opportunity. If someone else gets it, wouldn't they be able to outdo us in our work and it wouldn't be good for our management? So, I think only you have the ability to solve this problem."
Hearing this, Yan Fugui asked somewhat blankly, "Old Liu, what do you mean?"
Liu Haizhong said with a smile, "What I mean is, you should go and find out about this. After all, He Daqing and you used to have the best relationship."
