Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Today Director Li is hosting a banquet for the logistics personnel, which is actually a banquet for the cadres. If it goes wrong, he dare not imagine the consequences.

Now that He Yuzhu is obviously not cooperating, can he really make demands on others?

"If you don't believe me, just try it!" He Yuzhu stood up. Although he was only about 1.7 meters tall, he was half a head taller than Ma Feng. He held his head high and said, "Come on, I'll stand here, and you can teach me a lesson.

"You...can you do it?" How could Ma Feng have the ability to deal with He Yuzhu?

"By the way, before you teach me a lesson, you'd better issue a notice first, announcing that the canteen monitor He Yuzhu does not prepare special meals for the leaders, so that everyone can criticize me!" He Yuzhu showed a disdainful smile.

After saying that, he ignored Ma Feng and patrolled the kitchen with his hands behind his back. This was his little piece of land, and he was the king here, eyeing the land with his eyes fixed on it.

When Director Zhao came before, he did not have such a desire for control. He Yuzhu got along well with him, and neither the secretary nor the factory director liked to put on airs.

Therefore, He Yuzhu was willing to contribute and even introduce big leaders to him.

Now, he even disdains Director Yang!

He kept his position, worked and made money, and he would still go to Pigeon City, but when ** hit in 1959, the management would be much stricter, and attacks on Pigeon City would occur almost every day.

Of course, it is impossible to close everything off, but criticism and education are inevitable, so the pigeon market gradually disappeared.

He Yuzhu is not short of money now. His salary plus the income from private work have amounted to several thousand yuan over the years. Adding that to the sale of supplies, he has almost 100,000 yuan on hand.

This money is not for the present, but for the future. When he acquires courtyard houses and opens restaurants to accumulate capital, he will need a large sum of money.

Ma Feng gradually accumulated wealth and planned to venture into business after the reform and opening up.

He does not seek to get rich quickly, but having enough food and clothing is a must. After all, he is in the capital, and prices will only be higher in the future, so it is necessary to plan ahead.

Faced with He Yuzhu's challenge, Ma Feng was so angry that his whole body was shaking, but he knew that he had to get through the day.

"Master He," he finally bowed his head, "How can I ask you to help me?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, “Usually when someone treats me, a table of food costs five yuan.

"Five dollars?" Ma Feng was stunned. This price seemed not low.

In desperation, Ma Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll pay for it.

"very good.

"He Yuzhu did not make things difficult for him. After all, it only made Ma Feng slightly unhappy, but did not cause any real harm.

"How many guests, how many tables, what is the standard for each table?" he asked.

Ma Feng's predicament revealed his shortcomings, and he hurriedly left the kitchen and contacted Li Huaide again.

However, this also reflects the limitations of his abilities.

In the evening, He Yuzhu brought four lunch boxes home. Yan Bugui didn't get a share, and Wen Li and He Yushui were waiting for him.

"Brother, why did you bring so much today?" When He Yushui saw He Yuzhu coming in, he immediately grabbed the lunch box and put it on the coffee table, and asked curiously, "Who has so much?"

“The new director of the logistics department paid for the meal out of his own pocket, and he obviously cares about his reputation.

"He Yuzhu took off his coat. Wen Li had already poured warm water for him. He washed his hands and said, "Come on, are you two hungry?"

The three of them started to eat. Wen Li asked as they ate, "Is our steel mill going to be expanded again?"

"That's right.

He Yuzhu nodded in confirmation, “This was the original plan. We recruited people for the expansion in phases. It is estimated that after this expansion, there will be over ten thousand people in the factory.”

“Moreover, the previous promotion or transfer of some factory leaders was clearly intended to weaken Lou Bancheng’s influence in the steel mill.

"Before, due to the shortage of talent, those he retained were promoted. Now, he is clearing out these people, directly transferring them out of their positions and dispersing power.

Wen Li was puzzled after hearing this: "Is it necessary to do this?"

"This is not something we should interfere with; the top management has their own considerations.

You know, the steel rolling mill is a key unit and ranks high among the first batch of heavy industrial projects assisted by the government.

“He Yuzhu has frequent contact with senior executives, so he naturally knows the inside story.

"Also, just listen to these things and don't spread them around. After all, the dividends will be paid out in five years!" He Yuzhu reminded, "Lou Bancheng is still a shareholder.

"knew.

"Wen Li agreed, while He Yushui was still concentrating on the food.

Ma Feng was full of resentment towards He Yuzhu. He only gave ten yuan for the two tables of banquet today. Fortunately, Director Li was very satisfied and even praised... the chef.

Yes, praise the chef!

Ma Feng understood that in the kitchen, without superb cooking skills, nothing he said would be of any use unless he could have his own people to replace He Yuzhu.

Therefore, after returning home in the evening, Ma Feng began to think. He Yuzhu is a level six cook, and it is difficult to find a chef of the same level, but someone who is slightly inferior may be considered.

The chef would definitely not come, because the hierarchy of the steel mill limits the chef's status, but He Yuzhu's retention means that his skills will not be very high.

Ma Feng still didn’t quite understand the difference in cooking skills, and he was not present today as Li Huaide did not invite him.

He invited cadres who were in key logistical positions, and in his eyes, roles like canteen director were not worth mentioning at all.

Li Huaide has a strong background and worked in the logistics department right after entering the steel rolling mill. However, the deputy general manager in charge of logistics is already old and has only three years left before retirement.

He was aiming for the position of deputy general manager, so stabilizing the logistics and running the canteen was Li Huaide's goal.

Tonight, he paid for the meal according to the rules and would not leave any evidence as soon as he arrived.

These are just small amounts of money. Once he grasps the overall situation, the profits he earns will be huge. This person is very shrewd.

In the following days, although Ma Feng felt unhappy, he dared not make trouble in the cafeteria again because he could not do without He Yuzhu's help.

Director Yang also has receptions, usually scheduled at lunch time, and the first person to be invited is Lou Bancheng.

Although it is necessary to weaken Lou Bancheng's influence in the steel rolling mill, he is still a shareholder and must be appeased. This task will naturally fall to Director Yang.

Especially when it comes to running a steel rolling mill, Director Yang also needs to learn. They all praise He Yuzhu's cooking skills, and He Yuzhu's cooking skills have improved significantly recently.

Many new leaders enjoy special treatment in the cafeteria, which makes Ma Feng a little flustered. A table costs five dollars!

How much financial support can he have?

We must find someone to take over as soon as possible!

Through connections and a network of friends, Ma Feng finally found a level 7 chef named Master Gao!

Ma Feng met with Master Gao, who assured him that he would be able to satisfy the factory leaders.

So Ma Feng asked him to wait for news.

On this day, Director Li hosted another banquet, but this time the guests were not from the logistics department, but from other departments.

Ma Feng thought the opportunity had come and immediately sent someone to notify Master Gao.

Master Gao hurried to the steel rolling mill.

"He Yuzhu!" Ma Feng felt hopeful and walked straight towards He Yuzhu, "Director Li has a banquet tonight, but you don't need to do anything. This is Master Gao whom I invited.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Okay, I can get off work on time, isn't that good?"

"Hmph...just wait and see!" Ma Feng said this and turned to face Master Gao, "Master Gao, it all depends on you. There is only one table tonight, so you must go all out.

"Director Ma, don't worry, I will live up to your trust!" Master Gao looked confident.

Ma Feng promised to promote him to the sixth-level cook and let him be the canteen team leader, specifically responsible for preparing small meals for the factory leaders.

He Yuzhu left directly after get off work. He already had a premonition of what would happen tonight.

He would be able to see Ma Feng’s expression tomorrow morning, so he didn’t care.

Sure enough, when going to work the next day, the so-called Master Gao did not show up, nor did Ma Feng, only Director Li was present.

"He Yuzhu, Master He?" Director Li walked into the kitchen and saw He Yuzhu sitting on a chair and asked directly.

"That's right, who are you?" He Yuzhu asked back.

"I'm Li Huaide!" Li Huaide introduced himself with a smile.

He Yuzhu stood up quickly and said, "It's Director Li. What do you want Director Li to do in the kitchen?"

"How about we go out and talk?" Li Huaide suggested.

"Of course, please go first!" He Yuzhu was quite polite. After all, this person should not be offended easily, and the other party's attitude was also very polite.

He Yuzhu is not stupid. It is impossible for Ma Feng to pay him to cook private dishes every time. The canteen director has a limited budget, so he must have told the truth last night, which is why Li Huaide came to visit in person.

The two walked out of the cafeteria, and Li Huaide said, "I was negligent in my work, and Comrade Ma Feng's awareness needs to be improved.

Master He, are you interested in taking over the position of canteen director?"

"You flatter me too much!" He Yuzhu responded, "Previous factory leaders also had this idea, but I declined.

I know my abilities and I am not suited for that position.

"I just need to be in the kitchen and be a chef. This is the most suitable place for me and I don't need to work too hard.

"He Yuzhu said firmly.

Li Huaide nodded in agreement. With He Yuzhu's cooking skills, the position of canteen director was a little too low for him.

If the previous factory leaders wanted to retain employees, they would definitely provide compensation in other aspects.

"Master He, you are too modest. I think you manage the canteen very well!" Li Huaide said with a smile, "I have also heard some past events recently. Master He has always been dedicated to serving the factory leaders.

He Yuzhu understood what Li Huaide meant. He was hinting at why he was willing to receive special treatment before but had changed his mind now.

He Yuzhu responded: "Although this is not my responsibility, I cannot only focus on personal gains and losses when doing work.

What matters is that work goes well.

“No one wants to work hard but get nothing in return.

"He went on," Like Comrade Ma Feng, who clearly knew nothing, came up and tried to use me to establish his authority.

“What I value is that the steel mill has a large workforce, which makes it convenient for me to take on private jobs.

I am not indispensable here, there are many places willing to hire me.

“He Yuzhu’s words were direct and honest.

Li Huaide understood as soon as he heard it. The income from He Yuzhu's private work was definitely not less than his salary, and might even be more.

Otherwise, why would he be unwilling to be the canteen director and sit here?

Now, it was the factory leaders who needed He Yuzhu. After all, in this era, people paid more attention to their appetites. What else could they expect? Especially Li Huaide, most of the people he entertained were people of the same level. Having an excellent chef was an advantage that other factories could not match.

This is convenience, the convenience of accumulating personal connections for oneself, so Li Huai'en must clarify He Yuzhu's role.

Without him, it would be almost impossible to find a replacement.

It would be easy for He Yuzhu to leave. At worst he could go and cook for the senior management, but cooking for the senior management did not have much future.

Although he is not short of money, his private job happens to be his best cover.

When the time is right, he can no longer go to Pigeon City to do private work.

At that time, he can use these private jobs to sell some ingredients. After all, the quantity is small and it is not easy to be noticed.

“Indeed, work should be comfortable. I hope Master He can work with peace of mind in the future and you can always come to me if you have any questions.

“Although Li Huaide did not say it explicitly, since he made such a promise, Ma Feng’s problem was naturally solved.
