Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

At noon, Xiao Weiguo came to the second canteen which he had not seen for a long time. He usually slacked off and went home to lie down from time to time on the pretext of going out for work, so he seldom ate at the company.

As soon as they entered the second canteen, many workers came forward to greet Xiao Weiguo. Section Chief Xiao still had a very high status in their hearts.

Every time they distributed pork during the Chinese New Year or other festivals, it was all brought back by Section Chief Xiao.

Before, they could not eat meat for half a year, but now they eat meat five days a week, and the thickness of the meat slices is twice as thick as before.

Such a good section chief who serves the people will definitely be loved by everyone and flowers will bloom wherever he goes.

"Chief Xiao, I finally caught you. What's up? Are you free today and can you come to the cafeteria for dinner?"

Li Chunhua from the Labor and Personnel Department is famous for being a chatterbox. Her quick-witted and straightforward personality gets along very well with Xiao Weiguo.

She greets me warmly every time we meet, and there is never any awkwardness with her around.

"Look at what you said, Sister Li. I am usually on business trips abroad. Otherwise, how can the leaders entertain guests? Without large orders, what will you eat and drink?"

Section Chief Xiao was making jokes as an interruption, and he actually didn't mean to take credit for it, but his unintentional action made Xu Damao very unhappy.

"Humph, the steel mill won't work without you? Are you more important than the factory director?"

As soon as Xiao Weiguo finished speaking, he gained a large amount of emotion points, which surprised him.

The system is set up so that only the characters in the original drama will provide high emotional values. There are so many of them at once. Are there ghosts around?

Xiao Weiguo glanced around and finally saw Donkey-faced Da Congming in the corner of the back row.

Hehe, okay Xu Damao, since you hate me so much, come and hit me!

Thinking of this, Xiao Weiguo took the lunch box and sat directly at Li Chunhua's table. With the help of Sister Li's mouth, he would definitely be able to gain a lot of emotional points, no matter whether they were positive or negative, a negative times a negative would equal a positive!

"Brother Weiguo, I heard that your street has provided a list of names to help support skilled people in finding new jobs! I think some of the names look familiar, and it seems like they live in your alley."

Li Chunhua always says whatever she wants to say, and this was unintentional, otherwise they would have had something to talk about while eating.

It's better to chat and exchange some gossip and have fun.

Technical talent?

Xiao Weiguo said that he had heard the workshop director mention this matter. After all, large orders were on an increasing trend and a large number of workers were needed to be employed. Otherwise, even if these skinny guys in the factory were asked to work overtime in shifts 24 hours a day, they would not be able to get any work done.

But someone actually mentioned their alley?

This is a good thing!

"Who is that person? I'll help investigate him later!"

Li Chunhua said with a smile, "Guess!"

Seeing Li Chunhua smiling happily, Xiao Weiguo was really confused.

I silently guessed in my heart that this person definitely didn't look like someone from Group One or Group Two. Could it be that he also knew this person?

"Sister Li, you didn't sell me the lawsuit. Who is it? Let me be happy if you tell me."

Li Chunhua covered her mouth but couldn't help but slap her thigh and burst into laughter. "Not only do you know this person, but... we know him too!"

As she spoke, Li Chunhua took a bite of food, which made Xiao Weiguo confused.

Sister Zhang, who was sitting next to her, was also impatient and couldn't help but take out a piece of paper, on which was the list of talents selected by the street.

"Chunhua, please don't make it difficult for Weiguo. He won't be able to guess the answer even if you ask him to guess for a year! Don't be surprised when you see it later. Besides, this matter must be kept secret. We still have to go through layers of review and screening. Who knows who will be eliminated."

As she spoke, Sister Zhang handed the list to Xiao Weiguo, while Li Chunhua shook her head, expressing her confusion.

"Hey, I don't know if he is really a technical talent or just an expert at gift-giving. He was able to settle this matter with the street, which shows that he has not eaten steamed bread in vain all these years!"

Xiao Weiguo listened to Li Chunhua's teasing with his ears perked up, while his eyes were fixed on the list.

Among the dense crowds of Hua, Wu and other names, Xiao Weiguo actually found a name that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar.

Yi Zhonghai?

How come this old guy was nominated?

Looking at Xiao Weiguo's surprised face, Li Chunhua waved at him to signal him to come back to his senses!

"Sister, are you sure this person is him? It's not a coincidence?"

Li Chunhua smiled awkwardly, "To be honest, I didn't believe it at first, but in order to verify who he was, I went to your street office and met Director Wang in person!"

Li Chunhua's words instantly reminded Xiao Weiguo of what happened this morning.

As soon as the streets reached working time, Yi Zhonghai hurried in.

Maybe... it's because of this.

Xiao Weiguo smiled in confusion, "Him? He was a stain on our factory back then, and later he was imprisoned for several years because of Sha Zhu's incident. How can such a person be considered a talent? What on earth did Director Wang do to allow such a person to be reported?"

Li Chunhua nodded in agreement. "Yes, I had the same doubt. So after I confirmed that this person was him, I immediately reported the matter to Director Wang. But guess what he said!"

Xiao Weiguo shook his head in confusion, but he had already guessed what was going on.

Director Wang would not accept gifts without merit. It seems that he had to accept a lot from Lao Yi before he was willing to do things for him!

And there must be a convincing explanation!

"Tell me Chunhua, what's going on? That Yi... does he have such a strong backer?"

Sister Zhang curiously pulled Li Chunhua's arm, wanting to know the reason immediately.

"Director Wang said this himself. I haven't checked this matter yet!"

"Just tell me now and stop selling the lawsuit!"

Sister Zhang put down her chopsticks and waited for gossip.

"It is said that Yi Zhonghai was released early because of his outstanding performance in prison and his great contributions! His current level is unstoppable! It is said that he can reach the level of an assistant engineer. In the eyes of the street, he is a talent! Moreover, when he was released from prison, he brought with him a stack of commendation certificates, which is enough to prove that he worked very hard to study technology in prison!"

Xiao Weiguo grimaced when he heard this, feeling very confused. He didn't expect that this old guy still had this trick up his sleeve!

"Plus, after he was released, he took the initiative to admit his mistakes and eased the relationship with his neighbors. He also did the dirtiest and most tiring work without complaint, worked diligently and was willing to endure hardships. I forgot many other compliments, but I can see that in Director Wang's eyes, he is now a hot commodity."

Xiao Weiguo sighed silently, "Sister Li, Sister Zhang! Think about how much influence his romantic history had on the workshop. His little deeds alone could be published in a book. Even if they want to promote talents and increase productivity, they wouldn't look for someone like him! There are so many young and promising people, who would want an old man!"
