Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

In the workshop, Deputy Minister Bai looked very carefully and would stop from time to time to ask if he didn't understand something.

Sun Zhengguo also behaved very well. He stayed by their side and kept explaining, as if he had forgotten the unpleasantness that had just occurred.

Everything seemed as normal as it could be.

However, just as Deputy Minister Bai finished inspecting the workshop and was about to leave, Sun Zhengguo suddenly clapped his hands, signaling everyone to stop, and then spoke loudly.

"Comrades! I have good news to announce to you. The leaders of the Ministry of Metallurgy saw that you have been working very hard, so they specially sent some pork today as a lunch snack for you. Are you happy?"

“Happy, happy…”

When the workers below heard that there was meat to eat, they were of course happy and they all started shouting.

Deputy Minister Bai was very satisfied with this and nodded with a smile.

The workers are in high spirits, and production progress is just a matter of words. It seems that Sun Zhengguo is quite capable!

At this time, Sun Zhengguo pressed down with both hands, signaling the workers to stop, and then continued.

"Comrades! The leader is so considerate of us, should we invite him to stay for dinner?"

"Stay, stay..." the workers shouted again.

Sun Zhengguo pretended to be in a dilemma and said, "Leader, the workers are so enthusiastic. Look..."

Deputy Minister Bai thought that Sun Zhengguo was directing and acting in this in order to keep him for dinner!

Then he pointed at him and said with a smile: "Hey! You are so cunning!"

"What does Deputy Minister Bai mean?"

"Since the workers are so enthusiastic, then let's stay! But I have to make it clear that there is no need to make any special arrangements. I will eat whatever the workers eat."

Because the workers insisted on staying, Deputy Minister Bai could not leave the masses and sit in the small canteen to enjoy himself. Finally, he decided to have fun with the people.

Little did he know that this was exactly what Sun Zhengguo wanted. When it was time for lunch, he would have to bear the consequences...

Time passed slowly and it was noon. Sun Zhengguo arranged everything and went to the meeting room.

"Deputy Minister Bai, the cafeteria is already open for lunch and the workers will be here soon. How about we go there first?"

"Well!...Okay!" Deputy Minister Bai thought for a moment, and finally stood up and prepared to go.

But he was a good person and did not forget the driver outside. He turned around and told Secretary Hu to notify the driver.

After everyone arrived, they walked towards the cafeteria together.

When Sister Zhang from the cafeteria saw the leaders coming to get their meals, she made clear arrangements, giving each person a big spoonful of braised pork, and being absolutely fair to everyone.

After getting the meal, everyone sat together in the cafeteria to eat. Of course, we had to show off when having such a people-friendly opportunity.

Who knew that as soon as they sat down, Zhou Weimin ran in.

"Director, there's a call for you."

"Okay, I get it now."

Sun Zhengguo put away his lunch box and spoke to Deputy Minister Bai who was sitting next to him.

"I'm sorry, Deputy Minister Bai, I have to take a call, so I'll be gone for a while."

"Go ahead! Business is important."

Deputy Minister Bai waved his hand casually and continued eating.

After Sun Zhengguo left, the workers also walked into the canteen one after another to prepare their meals.

The first to come in were the workers who produced rolling mill parts. With the special tickets in their hands, they each ordered an extra portion of braised pork.

However, because so many leaders had cut in before, each of them got a full spoonful, which resulted in them not being able to get much. Each person only got a few pieces, which was better than nothing.

The workers had no complaints about this, after all, a few pieces of meat are still meat.

By the time the workers were done, even the soup in the big iron plate was clean as if it had been licked by a dog.

The worker at the back didn't know what was going on and thought the meat hadn't been served yet, so he shouted.

"Sister Zhang, where's the meat? Bring it up quickly!"

"Meat? Where did the meat come from? There was only a little bit, and it was all eaten up." Sister Zhang said unhappily.

There wasn't much meat to begin with, and she didn't even get to eat any, so it's strange she could speak properly.

That's why she didn't bother to explain. After all, the kitchen didn't do anything wrong. You can make as much noise as you want, and the director is backing them up.

At this time, Master Wu, who was specially arranged by Sun Zhengguo, stepped forward and was ready to speak out for justice.

"Hey, hey, hey! Everyone, don't gather here. I see that the people who are eating meat today are all from the small workshop. You might as well go and ask them to avoid any misunderstandings."

"Okay, go ask."

Then these workers didn't even have time to get their meals, and swarmed to the workers in the small workshop to ask questions.

The workers in the small workshop didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so they chose to tell the truth.

Who knew that his words would completely stir up a hornet's nest. How could the workers who couldn't get any meat to eat be happy about this? Master Wu took the lead in making a fuss.

"This is too fucking bullying! This is looking down on us working class people and trying to polarize the working class. Fellow workers, we cannot agree to this."

"No, no..."

"We want an explanation!"

"Ask for an explanation!"

OK! There was no need to call for help at this time. A group of leading cadres came over immediately, and Li Shengli hurried forward to stop them.

"Comrades! Stop for a moment and tell me what you have to say."

Seeing that he had successfully attracted the cadres, Master Wu stood up, motioned for everyone to be quiet for a moment, and then spoke.

"Secretary Li, you have to make the decision for us today. Why should we just watch so many people eat meat? We are all making contributions, so don't we deserve to eat meat?"

"This...?" Li Shengli was speechless. How should he answer in front of everyone?

What's more, he is also eating meat! How can you ask him to do justice?

At this time, he could only look helplessly at Deputy Minister Bai. The meaning was very clear: the meat was brought by you, so please come out and explain.

As a witness to the entire incident, Deputy Minister Bai's face was livid and he felt extremely aggrieved.

He never thought that just because of a little meat, his position as deputy minister would be in trouble.

How can he put his face?

But what could be the leader's fault? Someone else has to take the blame.

At this time, the secretary came into play. Secretary Hu had to step forward and take on everything.

"Dear leaders and comrades, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I came in a hurry this morning, so I didn't prepare much. I didn't bring enough meat, and I forgot to tell the kitchen, which led to this misunderstanding."

"But please rest assured, I will make it up to you tomorrow and guarantee that everyone will have a spoonful of braised pork. Please forgive me for my mistake this time."

After finishing speaking, Secretary Hu bowed to everyone with an extremely sincere attitude.

At this moment, Sun Zhengguo also arrived on time, ready to clean up the mess.

"What happened?"

Upon hearing the voice, everyone in the cafeteria breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shengli hurried over and briefly explained the situation.

After he finished speaking, Sun Zhengguo nodded, signaling him to rest assured, then walked to the middle and spoke loudly.

"Comrades, Secretary Hu is not from the same unit as us. Since he has sincerely admitted his mistake, please don't hold on to him. It will make us look petty. Give him a chance, okay?"

After hearing what the director said, the workers had no choice but to look at Master Wu who had just spoken and let him make the decision.

Master Wu was originally the actor found by Sun Zhengguo, so he will definitely cooperate and perform well.

Thus, a farce that was directed and acted by the person himself was quickly settled due to the arrival of Sun Zhengguo.
