Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Chapter 797 Xu Damao was scolded

Deputy Director Li frowned even more deeply after hearing this. He looked at Xu Damao and asked, "Do you know this Liu Hui? How could you casually tell such an important plan to someone you don't know the details of?"

Deputy Director Li had never heard of Liu Hui. He thought he was some big shot. The key is whether he can rescue him when the time comes.

Xu Damao shook his head helplessly and said, "It was just a so-called friend I met in prison. At the time, I thought he was quite reliable and knew a lot, so I didn't think much of it. Now it seems that I was too stupid and naive to believe his lies."

Deputy Director Li was so angry that he shook his head and pointed at Xu Damao's nose and cursed, "You are so stupid! You actually revealed all your plans to someone you don't even know. You deserve to die! If you do this, not only will you ruin the whole thing, but you might also get us all involved."

Xu Damao knew he had indeed made a mistake this time, and he felt extremely remorseful. He quickly put on a smile and said, "Deputy Director Li, I know I was too reckless this time. It was an outrageous mistake. Please be magnanimous and give me another chance. I promise I will never act so rashly again."

Deputy Director Li looked at Xu Damao with disdain and snorted coldly, saying, "You're a complete loser. I think you'd better stay here honestly and stop causing trouble for me. Remember, don't tell anyone you know me when you go out. I can't afford to lose face like that."

Seeing Deputy Director Li's ruthlessness, Xu Damao knew that begging for mercy was useless. So he made up his mind and stopped hiding his feelings. He looked at Deputy Director Li with a fierce glint in his eyes and said, "Deputy Director Li, I know I was wrong this time, but I have evidence against you. If you don't let me out, I will take out the evidence. Then no one will have a good life!"

Deputy Director Li's expression instantly darkened. His eyes widened as he stared at Xu Damao. His voice was low and filled with anger: "Xu Damao, you are so bold! You are clearly threatening me! Don't you know who you are talking to?"

Xu Damao met Deputy Director Li's gaze fearlessly, stiffening his neck as he said, "So what if it's a threat? I'm not like you. I have nothing right now. If I lose even this job at the steel mill, I'll have nothing to lose. I might as well die! Anyway, I've already given it my all."

Deputy Director Li knew that he couldn't break up with Xu Damao at this moment and had to keep him calm first. If Xu Damao really threw the can down and made a big fuss, his life would become extremely difficult.

Thinking of this, although he was furious, he suppressed his anger and put on a seemingly gentle expression. He looked at Xu Damao and said, "Okay, Xu Damao, don't be so pessimistic. Don't worry, when I get out, I will definitely do everything I can to get you out. As long as you are obedient, you can still go back to the steel rolling mill and continue showing movies. How about that? Now you can finally rest assured, right?"

After hearing what Deputy Director Li said, Xu Damao felt a little relieved, but then he was overwhelmed with regret. He secretly regretted why he had been so anxious to divorce Lou Xiaoe in the first place. He even let Lou Xiaoe take away all the valuable dowry without a clear mind. Now he was in this situation, penniless. If he lost his job at the steel mill, what would he do in the future? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He looked up at the outside and cursed with gritted teeth: "Liu Hui, you bastard, how dare you hurt me! Wait until I get out, and I'll teach you a lesson about what happens if you offend me!"

Xu Damao didn't actually know the true situation and capabilities of his supposed backer. For now, he could only hope to find him and get his help after he got out. Perhaps that would allow him to return to the steel mill and resume his previous life. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt. With nowhere to vent his anger, he could only helplessly lower his head, slump over the table, and gradually drift off to sleep.

Deputy Director Li looked at Xu Damao's back, a stern look in his eyes. He whispered to himself, "Xu Damao, you know too much, and you're too greedy and insatiable. If you keep going like this, you'll be a disaster sooner or later. It seems like we can't keep you here any longer."

However, he quickly regained his composure, frowning slightly as he pondered a strategy. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his eyes, and an idea struck him. He remembered that Xu Damao and Gu Nan lived in the same courtyard. If he could cleverly exploit this relationship, getting Xu Damao to cause trouble for Gu Nan, and then having Gu Nan deal with Xu Damao, then even if Xu Damao had a grudge, it would only be directed at Gu Nan, leaving him alone. At this thought, a subtle sneer crossed his face.

Deputy Director Li turned around, looked at Xu Damao, and said with a friendly expression, "Xu Damao, come on, don't be angry. We are all in this together. We rise and fall together. As long as we work together, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Although Xu Damao was still furious, he also knew that without Deputy Director Li's backing, he would have no chance of getting a good job at the steel mill. After all, he had already offended Director Yang before, and with this incident happening again, Director Yang would definitely not let him off easily. He knew Director Yang and Lou Bancheng had a good relationship, and judging by what happened today, their friendship was indeed quite close.

Now that he had offended Director Yang, if he returned to the steel mill like this, without Deputy Director Li's protection, he probably wouldn't be able to stay there for even a day. Helplessly, he could only look at Deputy Director Li and said with a bitter face, "Deputy Director Li, I've always tried my best to help you, but I didn't expect that this time I was tricked and used by that villain Liu Hui."

Although Deputy Factory Director Li was deeply disdainful of Xu Damao's incompetence, for even messing up such a small matter, he still put on a smile and consoled him, "Okay, Xu Damao, failure is the mother of success. This was just an accident, and there will be opportunities in the future. As long as you learn from your mistakes and do things better next time, we can all benefit from it."

Xu Damao was filled with suspicion, genuinely confused as to why Deputy Director Li had suddenly changed his attitude towards him and even started to analyze the situation with him. But he quickly put on a smile and echoed Deputy Director Li's words, saying, "Yes, Deputy Director Li, I find this strange, too. Even if Liu Hui was behind this, it wouldn't have been exposed so quickly. There must be something else going on."
