"Da Mao, what kind of talk is that? I'm happy enough that you can be an official; how could I possibly harm you?" Yan Bu Gui quickly began to explain.
Xu Da Mao looked at Yan Bu Gui for a moment before speaking. "Teacher Yan, what time is it now? Our country's leaders have emphasized repeatedly that all current officials are not allowed to host banquets. I just got promoted to deputy section chief, and you want me to host a banquet? If the leaders find out, how can I continue in this position? Are you trying to get me into trouble?"
Hearing Xu Da Mao's words, Yan Bu Gui's expression changed. He pretended to slap himself twice in front of Xu Da Mao. "Oh, Da Mao, look at the trouble this has caused! I'm just an ordinary teacher; how would I know that hosting a banquet is not allowed? Please forgive my ignorance!"
Yan Bu Gui lowered his attitude sufficiently, and Xu Da Mao decided not to press the issue further. "Alright, Uncle Yan, just be more careful with your words in the future. This is just me; if it were someone else, they might hold a grudge against you for saying something like that."
"Yes, yes! Da Mao, you're so magnanimous! It's unjust if you don't get promoted!" Yan Bu Gui quickly showered him with flattery.
After hearing enough of Yan Bu Gui's compliments, Xu Da Mao returned home.
Not long after Xu Da Mao left, Wang Jie Fang heard the Liu brothers from the back courtyard wailing loudly! Their cries were accompanied by Liu Hai Zhong's furious shouts!
Wang Jie Fang sneered; Liu Hai Zhong was such a useless person. He was upset because Xu Da Mao had become a deputy section chief while he, who was obsessed with becoming an official, remained an ordinary person.
Whenever Liu Hai Zhong felt uncomfortable, Liu Guang Tian and Liu Guang Fu would inevitably get beaten!
Wang Jie Fang thought it was like something out of a TV drama; in this era, it seemed Xu Da Mao had become an official by reporting his father-in-law. Little did he know that now the Lou family had all run away!
Moreover, the leadership at the steel mill had undergone a significant shake-up due to Sha Zhu's actions. Even so, Xu Da Mao still managed to become a deputy section chief. It was uncertain whether Liu Hai Zhong would ever become a small official!
Wang Jie Fang's doubts were soon answered.
One day, Liu Hai Zhong walked into the courtyard with his chest puffed out and hands behind his back. Upon seeing Yan Bu Gui, he tilted his head and approached him. Intentionally adopting an official tone, Liu Hai Zhong said to Yan Bu Gui, "Old Yan, you're off work so early today!"
Yan Bu Gui looked at Liu Hai Zhong in confusion and asked, "What's going on with you, Old Liu?"
Liu Hai Zhong coughed deliberately. "Old Yan, watch your address; from now on, you should call me Section Chief Liu!"
With those words spoken, how could Yan Bu Gui refuse? He quickly complimented him: "Oh my! Old Liu, you've become an official? No, I should say Section Chief Liu!"
Liu Hai Zhong felt very pleased with being called Section Chief Liu by Yan Bu Gui. He patted Yan Bu Gui on the shoulder and said, "Little Yan, you need to work hard. With me as Section Chief Liu looking after you, I believe you'll become an official sooner or later."
"Thank you, Section Chief Liu! If there's anything in the future, please feel free to give me orders."
Even though he knew Liu Hai Zhong was showing off in front of him, Yan Bu Gui still flattered him without restraint. In his heart, he considered it just a game with Liu Hai Zhong; he understood him too well. If he didn't act this way now, he would surely offend Liu Hai Zhong!
This useless person might not be able to accomplish much on his own; however, if he wanted to cause trouble, he certainly could. A few compliments weren't worth offending him over.
