Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 289 Xu Damao stands with Director Yang

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Xu Damao's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. He tried his best to stay calm and not let his emotions show. After all, he was the director now, so he had to be more magnanimous.

He looked up at He Yuzhu, only to see He Yuzhu standing there with empty hands, looking nonchalant. Xu Damao narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he quickly concealed it.

"Isn't it normal for me to be here?" Xu Damao responded indifferently, while his eyes swept around the office, as if looking for something.

"Didn't you get promoted yesterday? Didn't you have time to change it? Do you need my help?" He Yuzhu asked again, with a hint of concern in his voice.

Xu Damao turned around and faced He Yuzhu, with a hint of displeasure on his face. He frowned slightly, then said slowly:

"Let's move it now. He...where are your things?" Xu Damao deliberately paused after the word "He", as if to imply to He Yuzhu that their identities had changed.

He deliberately emphasized the words "your things" as if to remind He Yuzhu of something. His eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction, as if to say, "You didn't come yesterday, but it's a good thing you're here now. Shouldn't you move your things away first?"

He Yuzhu's voice echoed in the empty office, with a hint of unnaturalness: "I... I have nothing to pack."

He tried to sound relaxed, but his fingers unconsciously rubbed against his own, revealing his inner tension.

Xu Damao's eyes flashed with a sneer. He had guessed He Yuzhu's reaction long ago. He thought He Yuzhu was deliberately delaying, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

He Yuzhu did not notice Xu Damao's change. He looked at Xu Damao's unpleasant face and asked with concern: "Didn't you get enough rest? You look so bad." He thought Xu Damao did not get enough rest because of the busy work after his promotion.

When Xu Damao heard what He Yuzhu said, he was slightly stunned. He pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to make himself look more natural, and then said: "It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired." There was a hint of fatigue in his words, but more of a kind of pride that could not be concealed.

Xu Damao paused, then pointed to the lunch box and large teacup on the table and continued, "I don't have anything to take, just these." There was a hint of ease in his words, but his actions seemed a little anxious, as if he wanted to end this conversation as soon as possible.

He casually picked up the lunch box and the large teacup on the table. Although his movements were casual, each one seemed very precise. His eyes inadvertently swept over He Yuzhu, as if observing his reaction.

He Yuzhu looked at the big teacup in Xu Damao's hand and suddenly remembered that he was still in the office, so he smiled slightly and followed Xu Damao.

Arriving at his previous office, He Yuzhu stepped forward to pick up his things. He checked carefully to make sure nothing was missing.

Then, he turned around and smiled apologetically at Xu Damao: "I forgot to drink water just now. It's nothing. I'll go back now." There was a hint of apology in his smile.

Xu Damao looked at He Yuzhu's back for a long time without saying anything. His eyes revealed a complex emotion. He turned around and looked at his new office, and his heart immediately became happy.

He couldn't help but feel happy when he thought about being the canteen director. He knew that this was just the beginning and there would be more challenges and opportunities waiting for him in the future. He took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and prepared to meet new challenges.

......

The sound of knocking on the door broke the silence of the office. Xu Damao withdrew his gaze from all around and looked towards the door, wondering whether someone was coming to see him or He Yuzhu.

After all, his promotion was not announced publicly, he was just informed privately.

Despite his doubts, Xu Damao quickly gathered his thoughts, cleared his throat, and said, "Come in."

As the words fell, Qin Huairu pushed the door open and walked in, her face filled with a warm smile and a box of exquisite pastries in her hand.

The moment Xu Damao saw Qin Huairu, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He stood up and walked towards Qin Huairu. While taking the cake from her hand, he asked in confusion, "Sister Qin, why are you here?"

Qin Huairu looked at Xu Damao, a calculating light flashed in her eyes, she smiled and said: "I heard that you got promoted, so I came here to celebrate with you."

As she spoke, she gently placed the cake on the table, then looked around the office and continued, "The environment here is pretty good. It seems that you deserve the promotion this time."

Xu Damao felt warm in his heart when he heard Qin Huairu's words. He didn't expect that besides his family, there would be colleagues who cared so much about his promotion. He stood up and walked towards Qin Huairu, with gratitude in his eyes.

"Sister Qin, thank you so much!" Xu Damao said sincerely, his voice full of gratitude, "You are the first one besides Jingru to come and congratulate me."

Qin Huairu smiled and waved her hand gently, indicating that she was welcome. She sat down and started chatting with Xu Damao. After a while, Qin Huairu got to the point:

"Da Mao, you got promoted this time because I praised you to Jianye and told him that you would stand by him in the future. That's why he gave you this opportunity."

Xu Damao was grateful for what Qin Huairu said, but he also had reservations. He believed that Director Yang wanted him to take a stand, after all, this was not uncommon in the workplace.

But he didn't believe that Qin Huairu had whispered in his ear to give him this opportunity. However, he didn't express it directly, but smiled and nodded to express his gratitude.

"Sister Qin, I appreciate your kindness." Xu Damao said with a smile, "This promotion is thanks to Director Yang. I will cherish this opportunity and work harder."

Qin Huairu was relieved when she saw Xu Damao's attitude. She knew that Xu Damao was an ambitious man, but also a smart man.

The two continued chatting for a while, and then Qin Huairu stood up and said goodbye. Xu Damao saw her off to the door and watched her go away. He stood at the door and pondered for a while.

He knew that he was now with Deputy Director Li. Although he could say a word for He Yuzhu's sake, he would always be inferior to He Yuzhu.

If he joined Director Yang, although there would be some risks, his achievements would not necessarily be lower than He Yuzhu's. And judging from the current situation, Director Yang's power was obviously stronger than Deputy Director Li's.

Xu Damao took a deep breath and told himself that since he had made the decision, he must stick to it, work hard, and strive to get more support from Director Yang.
