Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 337 Xu Damao's Resentment After Replenishing His Brain

He turned his head slightly, his eyes moving over He Yuzhu, his eyes flashing with complex light, as if trying to decipher the other party's true intentions.

His brows knitted together slightly, and doubt crept into his mind like a thin mist: "Is he here to show off to me? But looking at his peaceful expression, he doesn't seem to be here to provoke me."

Xu Damao struggled with hesitation, his hands unconsciously stroking the corners of his clothes, as if looking for some kind of comfort. Finally, he took a deep breath, raised his head, nodded, and replied:

"Yeah, I just finished eating. Yu...Oh, Deputy Director He, what are you doing...?" There was a hint of doubt in his voice, but he stopped when the words came to his lips, and his eyes revealed his expectation for the next explanation.

He Yuzhu immediately noticed Xu Damao's doubts when he saw this. He walked forward with a smile and gently spread his hands to show his friendliness and harmlessness:

"Oh, Damao, I was just walking around when I had nothing to do. I didn't expect to meet you here. How are you doing recently? Is your work going well?"

His voice was calm and warm, trying to break the silence and awkwardness between the two with such a light topic.

While speaking, He Yuzhu always had a warm smile on his face, and his eyes were full of sincerity and concern.

He leaned forward slightly, as if trying to cross the invisible barrier between them and get closer to each other. The smile on his face was like a spring breeze, with a hint of apology and warmth.

After hearing He Yuzhu's words, Xu Damao's tense nerves relaxed a little, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile.

Xu Damao picked his teeth gently with a toothpick and replied in a relaxed tone, "It's OK, it's just work, so it is. What about you, you finally came to see me?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, as if testing He Yuzhu's reaction.

He Yuzhu smiled and waved his hands, his face full of frankness and sincerity. He said, "I really don't have time recently. You know, I can't help myself when I'm busy with work. But we all live in the same yard. Isn't it easy to meet each other?"

There was a casualness and kindness in his words, as if the change of position had not changed the friendship between them.

The two chatted for a while, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. He Yuzhu took the opportunity to tell Xu Damao that his second brother He Yugang was coming soon.

He patted Xu Damao's shoulder gently and said, "My second brother He Yu is about to come to our steel mill. Director Li has arranged for him to be the deputy director of the canteen."

When Xu Damao heard He Yuzhu mention that his brother was coming, his expression instantly became complicated. His brows were furrowed, and a trace of alertness and uneasiness flashed in his eyes.

He has always been regarded as He Yuzhu's man and has a certain status and influence in the cafeteria, but now He Yuzhu suddenly wants to arrange for his younger brother to come, which makes Xu Damao feel suspicious.

Could it be that He Yuzhu was planning to use his brother to replace himself? This thought flashed through Xu Damao's mind, and he immediately looked up at He Yuzhu, trying to find some clues from the other's expression.

He Yuzhu did not notice Xu Damao's inner fluctuations. He still maintained a gentle smile and said to Xu Damao:

"Da Mao, my brother is quite honest and not very familiar with this place. I'll have to trouble you to take good care of him so that he can adapt to the environment here as soon as possible."

Xu Damao was still a little uneasy when he heard this, but he pretended to be enthusiastic. He replied with a fake smile:

"Haha, Deputy Director He, don't worry. We are like brothers. Your brother is my brother. I will definitely take good care of him and won't let him suffer any grievances."

Although Xu Damao's answer sounded sincere, He Yuzhu still caught a hint of strange emotion in his eyes.

However, he did not think much about it, and just attributed this strange feeling to Xu Damao's joke or ridicule. He nodded gratefully and said to Xu Damao: "Then thank you for your help, Damao. I feel much more at ease with you here to take care of me."

After saying that, He Yuzhu turned around and walked away with a brisk pace. His face was filled with a satisfied smile and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.

He felt that this time he had a conversation with Xu Damao, not only had he solved his brother's work problem, but he had also received Xu Damao's assurance and care, which was killing two birds with one stone. However, he did not realize that Xu Damao's heart had already been stirred.

Xu Damao watched He Yuzhu's back getting farther and farther away. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a trace of anger and dissatisfaction.

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, as if he was suppressing his inner anger. He recalled that he had finally gotten an opportunity from Yu Haitang some time ago, but it was easily taken away by He Yuzhu.

And now, He Yuzhu even wanted to arrange for his younger brother to replace his position, and hypocritically asked him to take care of him, which made him feel despised and fooled.

Xu Damao's heart was filled with resentment and anger. He felt that he could no longer fight alone. He originally planned to stay away from Yang Jianye, Qin Huairu and others to avoid too much entanglement with them, but now it seems that he needs to reconsider this decision.

He knew very well that in this complex interpersonal relationship, only by uniting more people could he compete with He Yuzhu and others.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He turned and walked towards Yang Jianye's workplace, intending to seek his help and support.

He knew that although Yang Jianye had lost his former power, he still had certain connections and resources. Xu Damao hoped to find some ways to deal with He Yuzhu and others through cooperation with Yang Jianye.

......

"Director Yang, please take a rest. Let me do this kind of work!" Xu Damao looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he quickly stepped forward and tried to take the broom from Yang Jianye.

He had a flattering smile on his face and his hands were slightly open, ready to take the dusty broom.

Yang Jianye glanced at Xu Damao with the corner of his eye, and a disdainful arc appeared on the corner of his mouth. He gently turned sideways, skillfully avoiding the hand that Xu Damao stretched out, and continued to sweep the floor with his head down, as if he didn't hear what Xu Damao said.

Seeing Yang Jianye so indifferent, Xu Damao felt nervous, knowing that this was because Yang Jianye was resentful of his previous attitude.

He quickly lowered his posture and said sincerely: "Director Yang, listen to me, I wanted to help you before, but He Yuzhu was watching you too closely, so I had no choice.

You also know that He Yuzhu has a lot of influence in the factory. If I offend him easily, I won't be able to help you even if I want to, don't you think?"

As Xu Damao spoke, he observed Yang Jianye's reaction. He saw that Yang Jianye had a frown on his face and did not seem to fully believe what he said.
