Li Youxu was just pretending to be drunk just to see what Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe were planning.

Now Li Youxu understands.

Xu Damao saw the bangs rising and learned that it was Li Youxu's idea.

So he wanted Li Youxu to help him plan his promotion to deputy section chief.

Xu Damao has finally found the right person.

In fact, it is not difficult for Xu Damao to be promoted to deputy section chief. He has not been able to get promoted just because of the wrong method.

His qualifications are sufficient. He entered the factory when he was seventeen or eighteen and worked as a projectionist apprentice, and he has been working there for seven or eight years now.

He is usually willing to spend money to give gifts, and he often gives things to the head of their publicity department during holidays, but that's all he can do.

It is not difficult to live comfortably in the Publicity Department by currying favor with the head of the Publicity Department. Xu Damao's life is quite comfortable. I believe that the head of the Publicity Department takes good care of him.

However, trying to curry favor with the chief of the Publicity Department and become a deputy department is a bit of a fantasy.

In the position of deputy section chief, the section chief does not have the right to appoint directly.

The position of deputy section chief was vacant, and the most the section chief could do was to recommend Xu Damao to the leaders above.

There are too many people eyeing the deputy section position. What’s the use of a few words of recommendation from the section chief? It won’t play a decisive role at all.

Therefore, nothing happened to Damao when the position of deputy department was vacant the previous two times.

Obviously, it was robbed by someone with stronger connections or more ability.

In fact, for things like this, just contact Li Huaide directly.

Find Li Huaide and throw money at his death.

That guy Li Huaide won't accept small money, but he won't let go of big money.

Moreover, Li Huaide is a very professional person. As long as he accepts your generous gift, he will definitely do something for you.

Of course, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e may not know that Li Huaide secretly accepted generous gifts.

Li Huaide is very good at pretending to be the deputy director.

If everyone knew that he received gifts, Director Yang would have used this matter to attack him.

To sum up, it is understandable that Xu Damao did not think of sending money directly to Li Huaide.

Li Youxu knew about this connection, but he didn't intend to tell Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'eming.

He wanted to create an image of a mysterious and capable person in front of Xu Damao, and at the same time act as a middleman to earn the price difference.

"Sister-in-law Xiao'e, to tell you the truth, I have some connections in the steel rolling mill.

Do you know Liu Haizhong? How many years has he wanted to be a small leader? There has been no chance.

I easily helped him win a production team leader right away.

The deputy subject of the Publicity Department at Damao is a bit difficult for me, but it’s not impossible to do it.”

Li Youxu pretended to be mysterious and tried to seduce his appetite.

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, her eyes changed when she looked at Li Youxu.

Xu Damao's eyes gleamed with excitement. He knew that his guess was right. Li Youxu was a well-connected person.

If you weren't a related party, how could you hold a big meeting in the factory and punish Guo, a workshop director, and an eighth-level fitter?

When Xu Damao heard the news, his first reaction was that Li Youxu had someone in the factory.

Now it has been recognized by Li Youxu himself, confirming his guess at the time.

"Youxu, I have long seen that you are a capable person. You must have a way for me to become a deputy subject, right?"

Xu Damao's heart was like a burning fire. The assistant subject he had been looking forward to for so many years finally saw hope.

"There are ways, but..."

"Youxu, please stop tempting me. I'm almost dying of anxiety."

"There are ways, but the conditions are a bit harsh.

If you want to be a deputy subject, you have to take care of all aspects of the relationship, and you need at least four large yellow croakers."

Li Youxu would go crazy if he kept trying to keep things secret, so he went straight to the point and stated the conditions.

Xu Damao's fiery heart suddenly cooled down, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him.

Four large yellow croakers is an astronomical number to ordinary people.

These days, the large yellow croaker and the small yellow croaker are basically produced by the previous dynasty. A large yellow croaker weighs about 312.5 grams, and one gram of gold costs about three yuan these days.

In other words, a large yellow croaker is worth 937 yuan and 50 cents.

Four large yellow croakers are 3,750 yuan.

For ordinary people, it is absolutely an astronomical figure.

An eighth-level worker with a monthly salary of 99 yuan would have to go without food and water for more than three years to save up.

It is precisely because the value of the four large yellow croakers is so high that Xu Damao's expression instantly collapsed.

His position as a projectionist is quite lucrative, but he also spends a lot of money. Even if he and his parents were sold, he wouldn't be able to make four big yellow croakers.

"Alas, it seems that my brother is destined to miss this subject."

Xu Damao smiled bitterly, feeling a little discouraged.

He believed the price Li Youxu offered.

The deputy section chief is a middle-level cadre in the factory, and the price is very reasonable.

It's just that he, Xu Damao, was poor and couldn't bring out four large yellow croakers to help Li Youxu.

"Da Mao, how can you not have any confidence?

You can't look down on yourself as a person, you have to think about whose son-in-law you are.

Sister-in-law Xiao'e's family was very prosperous when it was at its peak. Most of the shares in the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill were owned by her family, let alone other industries."

Li Youxu gave Xu Damao a little nudge.

Xu Damao, who originally gave up treatment like a dead fish, suddenly widened his eyes.

Yes, his old Xu family has no money, but his wife Lou Xiao'e's family has plenty of money.

The Lou family had a very positive attitude at that time and handed over the shares in the steel rolling mill and all the family's shops.

Because of their positive attitude, the Lou family’s hidden property was not passive.

Xu Damao has been the Lou family's son-in-law for so many years. Even if his father-in-law doesn't want to see him, he still has the opportunity to see the Lou family's financial resources with his own eyes as time goes by.

One time he and Lou Xiao'e went to Lou's house for dinner and watched his mother-in-law stuff a leather bag under the bed.

That leather bag is filled with exquisite jewelry, which are definitely worth more than the same weight of gold.

That leather bag is just the tip of the iceberg of the Lou family's wealth.

By the way, there is a scene in the happy ending of the TV series where Lou Xiao'e's mother exchanges secret codes with Sha Zhu's biological father He Daqing.

After reading the code, He Daqing was so excited that he almost stood up because Lou Xiao'e's mother's name was Lou Tan.

He Daqing's ancestral craft is Tan's cuisine, and his ancestor was the Tan family's chef.

And this Tan family produced a high-ranking Hanlin official.

This Tan is exactly the Tan of Lou Xiao’e’s mother.

Just imagine, Lou Xiao'e's father was able to marry a descendant of a high-ranking Hanlin official family back home as his wife. You can imagine how rich he was.

Moreover, the name Lou Bancheng is actually a nickname, which refers to the fact that at its peak, half of the city belonged to their Lou family.

This is definitely an exaggeration, but it also proves that the Lou family was really rich back then.

The Lou family has only lost their property, but not the money saved by their ancestors.
