Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 294 Xu Damao Shows Off

After resting in the office for a while, Xu Damao finally arrived.

This guy sat down in front of Wang Hongtao, panting, and reached out to take his water cup.

Wang Hongtao quickly slapped it away: "What are you doing? That's my water cup!"

Xu Damao retracted his wrist and looked at it. It had turned red. He complained, "Isn't it just a cup of tea? Why are you so stingy?"

"That won't work either." Wang Hongtao glared. It would be fine if it was any other time, but today it's in front of the emperor and there are only so few people.

"Get you a cup and pour it yourself."

Xu Damao chuckled and didn't care about it.

"The boss arranged a dinner today and asked me to drink with him. It's so annoying." Xu Damao said at the Van Er track.

"You said there are too many things to do. I had planned to spend more time with Ezi, but the leader has a task, so I have to go!"

Wang Hongtao took a sip of tea and smiled: "What a coincidence, it was Director Li who called, right? He called me today too."

Xu Damao was stunned at first, but then he felt it was natural. This guy was a favorite of Director Li, so it was not surprising to have him at the banquet.

I guess he should be a drinking hostess like me?

"That's a good feeling!"

"But if I get drunk, you have to help take me back."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

"Speaking of which, Brother Damao, you know you can't drink much, can't you drink less?"

"What?" Xu Damao said seriously, "Being drunk is a small matter, but not accompanying the leader well is a big matter. I can't delay the leader's important matter because of my own small matter!"

Well, I didn’t realize you have such a high level of awareness.

Wang Hongtao shook his head: "Look at you, you have a low alcohol tolerance, you like to show off, and you also like to do the big one and three small ones. How can you not get drunk?"

He really didn't want Xu Damao to drink too much. How could he take care of Lou Xiao'e if he drank too much? If he accidentally vomited and filled the house with a strange smell, it would be even more troublesome.

Xu Damao shook his head: "What can I do? You also said that I can't drink much. If I don't come up with some new tricks, how can the leaders remember me?"

Then he chuckled and said, "Don't worry about whether I'm drunk or not, just tell me whether the boss calls me often."

"That's true. When the boss drinks, he likes to ask you to accompany him the most." Wang Hongtao answered sincerely. No matter what the reason was, Xu Damao had accompanied the boss quite a few times.

"That's it, isn't it? The thing that people like us fear the most is being unknown. How can the leaders remember you?" Xu Damao said clearly, "Of course, for someone like you who spends every day with the leaders, that doesn't need it."

"Old Wang, how much alcohol can you drink? I've had a few drinks with you, but I don't think you've ever been drunk..."

"It's not bad. I'm sure I can drink two or three cups like you." Xu Damao can drink half a catty of alcohol, and Wang Hongtao can drink at least two catties, so two or three is still a modest statement.

"If I could drink as much as you, I might have reached the next level long ago." Xu Damao looked at Wang Hongtao enviously.

"I can't help it. My drinking capacity is something I was born with. You can't envy me for that."

"By the way, let me tell you a little secret. It's best to drink a spoonful of vegetable oil on an empty stomach before drinking. It will have unexpected benefits." Wang Hongtao said mysteriously.

"Really?" Xu Damao was skeptical.

"Of course, you'll know if you try it." Wang Hongtao vowed. He didn't know whether it was true or not, but Liang Ladi had used it and it was quite effective.

"Okay, I'll go to the cafeteria and get a spoonful later."

"But you have to come with me, otherwise that bastard Shazhu won't give it to me easily."

Wang Hongtao was speechless: "There are so many canteens, why do you have to go to the third canteen?"

Xu Damao stiffened his neck as a matter of course: "Of course, every time I have a banquet, I always go to show off to Sha Zhu first, right?"

"Anyway, don't worry about it, just tell me whether you want to accompany me or not?!"

"Okay, okay, can't I accompany you?"

"I don't understand you guys!"

Wang Hongtao agreed reluctantly. He would go to the third canteen to eat soon anyway, so he might as well just do it on the way.

"You are worthy of being my good brother!"

"Let's go!"

......

They came to the third canteen arm in arm, and Xu Damao walked towards the kitchen.

"Shazhu, is Shazhu here?"

Standing next to Wang Hongtao, Xu Damao felt very safe.

"Who the hell are you calling Idiot Zhu? Xu Damao?"

He Yuzhu lifted the door curtain and came out angrily, holding a rolling pin in his hand.

When Xu Damao saw Sha Zhu coming out, he instinctively hid behind Wang Hongtao. He had no idea how many times he had been beaten by Sha Zhu since he was a child, and the fear was engraved in his bones.

"You...you...put your things down!"

Xu Damao said tremblingly:

"I'm not here to argue with you today. I'm going to drink with my boss later. Please give me a spoonful of vegetable oil to moisten my stomach."

"It's really weird. I have to drink vegetable oil before drinking alcohol?" He Yuzhu was skeptical.

"What Old Wang taught me, wasn't it Old Wang?" Xu Damao was trying to pull Wang Hongtao into the water by using the tiger's skin and waving a big banner.

Wang Hongtao nodded and helped persuade him: "Zhu Zi, be quick, the leader will be here soon."

He really didn't want Xu Damao to get into trouble. Lou Xiao'e was pregnant and needed someone to take care of her. She would also have to take care of herself and the baby in the future. Xu Damao would have a heavy task, so he had to protect Xu Damao for this reason.

"Ma Hua, bring me a spoonful of vegetable oil." He Yuzhu shouted loudly. It was no problem to ask for vegetable oil, but forget it if he wanted to serve Xu Damao.

"Hey......"

Xu Damao was very proud of himself. He frowned and drank it in one gulp: "Ahem, it's really hard to drink."

Wang Hongtao patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said, "It will only taste bad for a while. You will know the benefits later."

......

As they were talking, Director Li and several other leaders arrived.

"You are Xiao Wang, right?"

"Young and promising, young and promising!"

Director Zhang of the supply and marketing cooperative walked in front and greeted Wang Hongtao.

Wang Hongtao was very upset. "Little bastard? You are the little bastard, your whole family is a little bastard!"

"Hello, Director Zhang, hello, I'm Xu Damao, we met last time." Just when Wang Hongtao was about to agree with a pinch of his nose, Xu Damao stood up and helped him out.

Seeing this, Li Huaide hurriedly walked between Wang Hongtao and Xu Damao, separated Xu Damao, and took Wang Hongtao to introduce him: "This is my driver Xiao Wang. Wang Hongtao is quite capable, so I brought him along today to broaden his horizons."

"Xiao Wang, this is Director Zhang from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative."

"This is Director Xu from the grain station."

"Director Niu of the meat processing plant, Director Tang of the textile factory."

After introducing Wang Hongtao, Li Huaide introduced all the factory directors to him one by one. Don't underestimate the details here. Only after such introduction will the factory directors really put Wang Hongtao at ease.

For example, Xu Damao, Li Huaide never introduced anyone to him even after he accompanied him for so many drinks.

"Hello, Director Zhang!"

...

"Hello, Director Tang!" Wang Hongtao greeted everyone in the order Li Huaide introduced them, bowing and nodding, and shaking hands with both hands.

"I'm Xiao Wang, Director Li's driver. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."
