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

The boss didn't invite many guests, so he prepared the meal himself in the kitchen. After the guests left, the boss called him over and the chessboard had already been set up.

The two of them played chess back and forth, with black and white intertwined on the chessboard.

He Yuzhu inherited Sha Zhu's chess skills and played against senior leaders countless times, becoming proficient at the game from the beginning.

"Zhu Zi, do you know Lou Xiao'e in your hospital?" The big leader asked about this without even raising his head, concentrating on the chessboard.

"Lou Xiao'e?" He Yuzhu was stunned. "I'm not very familiar with her. After she got married, I moved to Wenli's house.

The big boss then asked, "Do you know that she and Xu Damao are divorced?"

"Divorced? When did it happen?" He Yuzhu asked in surprise.

“It’s after the New Year.

"The leader replied.

"How come you, such a high-ranking leader, know everything about the compound?" He Yuzhu knew it in his mind, but still asked curiously.

"Lou Bancheng should know, right?" The senior leader looked at He Yuzhu, "Lou Xiao'e is his youngest daughter, born to his second wife.

“After the divorce, Lou Bancheng took his whole family to ** and gave up the remaining shares.

He Yuzhu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the leader knew so much about Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e's affairs, because Lou Bancheng's departure was a big deal.

"Why did you get divorced?" He Yuzhu asked, "Why did you suddenly..."

“Xu Damao had health problems and couldn’t have children, so Lou Bancheng decided to leave.

"The leader asked back, "Do you think our transformation is not thorough enough?"

He Yuzhu put down a chess piece and continued, "Lou Bancheng is a businessman. He is definitely not an ordinary person to be called 'Bancheng' in the capital.

Such people are good at speculation, how can simple transformation succeed? "

"What do you think?" The big boss nodded in agreement, "Zhu Zi, sometimes your insight is better than that of us leaders!"

"Oh, I was just saying it, now you should think about it carefully.

"He Yuzhu stood up with a smile," I'm going to smoke a cigarette, you think about it slowly.

"Huh?" The leader turned his attention back to the chess game and fell into deep thought.

...

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when He Yuzhu left. He rode his bike back to Wen's house and Wen Li opened the door to greet him.

"Why did the big boss keep you so late today?"

"Hehe, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e are divorced.

"He Yuzhu chuckled and then told Wen Li a piece of news that shocked her.

"Really?" Wen Li's eyes widened. "How did you know?"

"Lou Xiao'e's father is Lou Bancheng, the former boss of a steel mill. Now he doesn't even want the dividends and has taken his whole family to **.

"He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle into the house and said, "The reason for the divorce is that Xu Damao is infertile.

"No wonder he boils medicine every day at home. It turns out he is curing illness!" Wen Li suddenly realized, "Did the big boss ask you about this?"

"Yes, but this matter has nothing to do with us, so don't worry about it.

"He Yuzhu parked the car," But we can't let Xu Damao have an easy time.

Previously, Xu Damao fabricated stories and damaged He Yuzhu's reputation. Although he beat him up and set a trap, things would not end so easily.

No one else in the compound knows about Xu Damao's divorce, so He Yuzhu must help him spread the word, otherwise Xu Damao will definitely throw dirty water on Lou Xiaoe and may even hurt other women.

He Yuzhu did not do this out of kindness, but he suddenly felt that Xu Damao and Qin Huairu were a good match. With the addition of Yi Zhonghai, isn't this a replay of the "Silly Zhu" in the plot?

The three families each had needs, and He Yuzhu was happy to help.

...

Li Huaide followed the factory director Yang to the machine repair factory for inspection.

As a subordinate unit of the steel plant, it is mainly responsible for the maintenance of the steel plant's equipment.

He Yuzhu knew nothing about this yet, and even if he knew, he wouldn't be too surprised. After all, Wen Li had appeared, and considering the plot of this period drama, there was nothing to be surprised about.

Li Huaide had never visited subordinate factories before. This time he accompanied Director Yang to inspect and guide the work in the new year, actually for Nan Yi.

He wanted to see Nan Yi's cooking skills. If he was really a talent, it would be good to transfer him to the steel plant. As long as he was talented, he would make use of him.

It is impossible to cook royal dishes in the factory, but his father-in-law's family can, and that is his greatest support.

Although his wife was plain looking, he married her because of his father-in-law.

As for women, can't you just find one in private?

Liu Lan from the cafeteria is a good match. Her family is in financial difficulty and her husband is missing. He got her and then had her get an IUD...

You can’t think about it anymore, otherwise your body will react.

Li Huaide put away his thoughts and continued to listen to Director Yang's speech.

They didn't go to the cafeteria until lunch time.

Li Huaide said to Liu Feng, the director of the machine repair factory: "Director Liu, I heard that your factory has a chef!"

"You are talking about Nan Yi, right?" Liu Feng responded, "His skills are indeed good, but not as good as the master chef of the main factory.

He will be in charge of cooking at noon today, and you can give him some advice then.

“Okay, let’s try it.

"After confirming that it was Nan Yi, Li Huaide said no more. He is a gourmet and will know if it is delicious just by taking a bite.

Nan Yi didn't know that he was being targeted. The leaders of the main factory were coming for lunch, and the factory director and the canteen director repeatedly urged him to show his true strength.

However, Nan Yi didn't care at all. Real skills also require materials!

He just cooked some home cooked food and couldn't show any real cooking skills.

Moreover, even the leaders of the general factory, have they ever eaten royal meals?

Nan Yi is an extremely proud man with terrible interpersonal relationships and is often reported, but he is still a tenth-level cook!

His current situation is just like Sha Zhu’s in the past, except he has an extra mouth.

At lunch, after tasting Nan Yi's cooking, Li Huaide made a judgment in his mind: his cooking skills were far inferior to He Yuzhu's. If he were to be rated as a cook, he would be at best at level five.

Of course, the Nan Yi family has passed down the palace dishes from generation to generation, and it is difficult to see the clues now.

“It’s really good, the craftsmanship is quite excellent.

"After Li Huaide made this comment, he followed the factory director Yang and left the machine repair factory.

If he wanted to transfer personnel, he would not ask for it immediately, but would just issue an order. After all, positions such as cooks were under the jurisdiction of him as the deputy factory director, and he had the right to decide on personnel transfers.

Of course, Nan Yi will not be arranged directly in canteen one, but will be placed in canteen two. The factory's banquet activities will still be under the charge of He Yuzhu.

Li Huaide has no long-term plans for Nan Yi for the time being. He would first try to win him over to his team. After all, chefs who are good at court dishes usually work as head chefs in state-owned hotels, and he can't hire them.

It's okay to taste Nan Yi's cooking, but it's wishful thinking to invite him to work for a long time. His father-in-law might be able to do it, but can the person recommended by his father-in-law be the same as the one he hired himself?

To please his father-in-law and expand his network are what he has been doing since he came to the steel rolling mill.

As for competing with Director Yang for power and profit, he is not yet qualified. He is unable to solve production problems alone and needs to win over middle-level managers.

Li Huaide has his own clear goals and strategies!

……

It was Sunday morning again, He Yuzhu returned with his wife and children, and the third uncle was still waiting at the gate.

He Yuzhu took the initiative to stop today and said to the Third Uncle: "Third Uncle, do you know?"

"Xu Damao is divorced!" he whispered.

Yan Bugui was stunned when he heard this, and then asked in surprise: "Really?"

"Has Lou Xiao'e never come back?" He Yuzhu lowered his voice and continued, "She has left and her family has moved to Hong Kong Island.

As for the divorce, it was because Xu Damao was unable to have children.

"Oh..." Yan Bugui took a breath, "No wonder he keeps drinking Chinese medicine, saying it's for conditioning the body, so there's a reason like this.

I always felt something was wrong.

"Just wait and see, after a while Xu Damao will definitely say that they divorced because Lou Xiao'e was infertile.

Anyway, the Lou family left, and no one refuted him.

"He Yuzhu warned, "You must keep this matter secret!"

After saying that, he pushed his bicycle into the yard and started cleaning.

Soon, He Yushui also came back.

Yan Bugui no longer lingered in the front yard and went straight home to share the news with his wife.

That's how things are in a slum. Once someone knows the news, it will no longer be kept secret. It won't be long before everyone in the alley knows about it, and then the news will spread throughout the entire steel mill.

He Yuzhu is in a good mood and plans to cook some delicious dishes to celebrate today.

However, the next day at work, when Ma Hua delivered tea, Liu Lan also came over.

"Zhu Zi, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?" He Yuzhu was stunned and thought, did Xu Damao's affairs spread so quickly?

"There's a new chef in the Second Canteen. He was transferred from the Machine Repair Factory by Deputy Director Li.

"Liu Lan's words made He Yuzhu feel bored.

"Just transfer him here. Deputy Director Li knows about food. Isn't it normal to transfer a good chef here?" He Yuzhu seemed unconcerned. He didn't believe that the factory could hire a chef. Even if he had good skills, he couldn't compare to his own.

At this time, Ma Feng walked in with an excited and proud expression on his face.

"He Yuzhu, what are you doing instead of sitting at your post?" Ma Feng walked straight towards He Yuzhu.

"If you have the guts, fire me!" He Yuzhu responded bluntly, and then suddenly realized, "Isn't it just a new chef?"

"Move him over here!"

"I'm afraid not?"

"Ma Feng, Ma Feng, you are like a half-full bottle of wine, which makes no sound when shaken.

“You…” Ma Feng was a little embarrassed by He Yuzhu’s sarcasm, “Okay, you wait for me.

After saying that, he turned and left!

In Ma Feng's opinion, his suggestion was adopted by Deputy Director Li, and Nan Yi was directly transferred here, which means that Deputy Director Li recognized Nan Yi's craftsmanship.

Now, he planned to teach He Yuzhu a lesson and transfer Nan Yi to a canteen. This way, the factory's small kitchen would no longer need to rely on He Yuzhu.

He wanted to see what other abilities He Yuzhu had, and it would be best if he could be transferred to the workshop so that he could completely submit.

Ma Feng walked straight to Deputy Director Li’s office, knocked on the door, and heard an instruction from inside: “Come in.

Pushing the door open, he smiled humbly and said, "Director, I have some work matters to report to you.

"Well, come in!" Li Huaide knew that Ma Feng was so impatient that he was obviously not a steady person, and he didn't know much about the work and could not be entrusted with important tasks.

"Director, how is Nan Yi's craftsmanship?" Ma Feng asked in an attitude of seeking credit.

Li Huaide shook his head and said, "It's just so-so, not as good as Master He's craftsmanship.

"Ah?" Ma Feng was stunned, "Then..."

"Okay, I know your purpose, Comrade Ma Feng!" Li Huaide decided to let Ma Feng understand his position, "You don't understand your job well enough!"

"You know, the canteen is not only about ensuring the workers' meals and making them satisfied, but more importantly, it is about serving the canteen well!" Li Huaide continued, "Whether it is an inspection by the superior, a survey by a sister unit, or a study by a lower-level unit, these reception tasks are crucial.

"I am very satisfied with Master He's performance in managing the canteen. No one is dissatisfied so far, except you, of course.

" Deputy Director Li's words have hidden meaning.

Ma Feng was sweating profusely at this moment. He could hear that Deputy Director Li was in a bad mood.

"I..." Ma Feng tried to defend himself.

However, Li Huaide did not listen to his explanation and said, "Don't play those official tricks, know your position.

Your understanding of the cafeteria is still superficial.

"Palace cuisine? What can you make?" Li Huaide asked, "If you really make it, how will the leaders eat it?"

Ma Feng was silent for a moment before he realized what was going on, "I'm sorry, Director, I didn't think it through.

“Humph, I feel relieved to leave the canteen to Master He.

You have to learn how to manage the canteen and its small warehouse.

"Deputy Director Li pointed at Ma Feng and said, "Don't pretend to know something when you don't. Do you think you can just replace He Yuzhu with someone else?"

"You don't understand any of these questions!" Deputy Director Li concluded.

"Okay, get back to work.

Talents like Master He are not easy to find.

“ Ma Feng left as if he had been pardoned, but he still had lingering fears in his heart.

He realized that his position as canteen director depended entirely on a word from Deputy Director Li.

If he hadn't given me a gift before, he would have been finished long ago and would have had to work harder.

Ma Feng was unwilling to accept that he couldn't even handle a chef, but he now understood that he really couldn't shake He Yuzhu.

Feeling depressed, he walked towards the cafeteria with his head down, and suddenly remembered something.

Once, Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level fitter, came to see him, and it seemed that he also had some questions about the chef.

[Will there be any conflict between the two of them? ] Ma Feng rolled his eyes, but this time he did not go to the first cafeteria, but went straight to the second cafeteria.

Nan Yi had just reported to the Second Canteen, and the personnel department staff had already sent him there.

After the previous squad leader retired, Nan Yi's arrival brought a sense of competitive pressure to other chefs.

After all, the extra two yuan subsidy per month for the squad leader is not a small amount!

He Yuzhu received a monthly subsidy of five yuan at stove No. 1 in the cafeteria because he was in charge of the factory's internal small kitchen.

Although Ma Feng is not very familiar with the operation of the cafeteria, he is quite skilled in his tactics.

He greeted Nan Yi warmly and asked with concern: "Comrade Nan Yi, have you adapted to the new environment?"

Ma Feng was all smiles, even though he was short, had to look up at Nan Yi, and his appearance was not very outstanding.

Nan Yi felt uncomfortable, but he couldn’t be rude, so he quickly replied: “They are both canteens, there is not much difference.

"That's good. You are a talent specially invited by the factory director. You were a level 10 cook before, right?" Ma Feng immediately raised Nan Yi's status. This was the person personally requested by Deputy Factory Director Li.
