Chapter 347 He Yugang's speech made Xu Damao suspicious
The moment Xu Damao pushed open the door and stepped into the office, his eyes immediately locked on He Yugang sitting on the chair.
He Yugang sat quietly on the chair, his hands folded on his knees, his eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and expectation. Seeing this, Xu Damao showed a hint of apology on his face and hurriedly quickened his pace towards him.
"Yugang, have I kept you waiting for a long time? I'm so sorry. It's all your elder brother's fault. He insisted on talking to me all the time about irrelevant things." Xu Damao walked closer and explained while paying attention to He Yugang's reaction.
He Yugang raised his head slightly, glanced at Xu Damao, then quickly lowered his head and said softly: "It's okay, Director Xu, I'm fine." Although his voice was low, it revealed a firmness.
Xu Damao looked at He Yugang's expression and nodded secretly. He felt that this young man was much more sensible than his brother He Yuzhu. Thinking of this, he didn't wait for He Yugang to answer, but stretched out his hand and motioned him to follow him.
"Come on, Yugang, follow me. I'll take you to the cafeteria, otherwise when you go to eat at noon, they won't recognize you." Xu Damao said, and walked out the door first.
When He Yugang heard Xu Damao's words, a trace of gratitude appeared on his face. He quickly stood up and followed him.
He deliberately lagged half a step behind Xu Damao. This was what his brother He Yuzhu had specifically told him this morning, asking him to respect his leaders at work and keep a proper distance.
Xu Damao walked in front, looking back at He Yugang from time to time. He found that although this young man didn't talk much, he behaved well and gave people a very down-to-earth feeling.
He couldn't help but secretly compare He Yugang and his brother He Yuzhu in his mind, and felt that He Yugang was indeed much more likable than his brother.
"Yugang, although your brother has a straightforward personality, he is sometimes too direct in what he says and does. You must learn from his lesson." Xu Damao suddenly stopped, turned around and said to He Yugang.
He Yugang nodded immediately after hearing this. He knew Xu Damao was reminding him to be careful about his words and deeds and not to offend people like his brother. He was grateful in his heart and his respect for Xu Damao deepened.
In this way, Xu Damao led He Yugang into the third canteen. As soon as he entered the door, he felt the busy atmosphere in the canteen. The chefs were busy, and the sounds of frying pans and steam rising were intertwined.
Xu Damao looked around, his eyes sweeping over every busy figure. He didn't care that it was the peak meal time. He clapped his hands and said in a loud voice: "Everyone stop for a moment. I have something important to announce."
This clap instantly reduced the noise in the cafeteria. The chefs stopped their work, some put down their spatulas, and some were just about to take the freshly cooked dishes to the window, but at this moment they all stopped where they were and looked at Xu Damao with puzzled expressions.
Their expressions varied, some were confused, some were dissatisfied, and some looked unhappy.
Xu Damao didn't care about these. He walked straight into the crowd, his eyes swept across everyone, and finally stopped on He Yugang.
He pointed at He Yugang and raised his voice a few notches: "This is He Yugang, the younger brother of our canteen's deputy director He. From today on, he has been appointed as our canteen's deputy director."
When introducing He Yugang, Xu Damao deliberately emphasized the words "Deputy Director He's younger brother", and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He did this to make everyone understand that the reason why He Yugang was parachuted in to become deputy director was entirely because of He Yuzhu's relationship.
He wanted to take this opportunity to make the cafeteria employees dissatisfied and disgusted with He Yuzhu, thereby weakening He Yuzhu's prestige in the cafeteria.
But Xu Damao's wish did not come true as he wished. People in the cafeteria had a very good impression of He Yuzhu. They were proud to have worked with He Yuzhu and were full of respect and gratitude for him.
Xu Damao looked at the admiration on everyone's faces and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
In the crowd, He Yuzhu's apprentices Ma Hua and Fatty stood out. They had not had much affection for He Yugang before, and even looked down on him.
But at this moment, when they heard Xu Damao announce that He Yuguang was He Yuzhu's younger brother, bright smiles immediately broke out on their faces.
Although it was the first time for He Yugang to face so many people, he did not show any nervousness or anxiety. Before that, he had practiced what he was going to say many times at home with Li's company, and he knew every word by heart.
At this moment, he stood in front of everyone, took a deep breath, and then fluently recited the draft he had memorized before. His voice was clear and powerful, and every word seemed to carry firm belief and determination.
Everyone listened to his speech and nodded in agreement and support.
Xu Damao stood in the crowd, listening to He Yugang's fluent and powerful speech. His brows gradually frowned, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He wondered in his heart, how come He Yugang had acted so honest and simple before, and now he was speaking so well? Was he lying to himself before?
He Yugang was so confident in his speech that he was completely unaware of Xu Damao's suspicion. He didn't know that the manuscript he had prepared in advance with He Yuzhu would actually cause Xu Damao's suspicion.
He stood among the crowd, his eyes determined and his voice loud, as if every word was full of power.
After finishing his speech, Xu Damao did not give He Yugang time to connect with everyone. He waved his hand, interrupting the surrounding discussions, and said directly:
"Okay, everyone get busy. Lunch will be served soon. Don't delay the workers' meal time."
After that, Xu Damao turned to He Yugang, with a barely perceptible look of impatience on his face. He pointed in the direction of the office and said to He Yugang, "Come on, I'll take you to your office. You go back and pack up first."
