He looked at Yang Ming with appreciation, and then solemnly announced:

"Comrade Yang Ming, you have made great contributions to the Ministry of Industry! Therefore, we have decided to upgrade your engineer level to level eight, and issue you a certificate and a bonus of 1,000 yuan, as well as corresponding bills as rewards."

"Although we cannot directly increase your salary level at present, the Ministry of Industry will give you an additional special allowance of fifty yuan per month, which will accompany you throughout your life."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became lively.

Each of these rewards is extremely attractive, not to mention that Yang Ming has also gained the favor of the Ministry of Industry. The road ahead seems to be full of infinite possibilities.

However, in this atmosphere of joy and envy, Yang Ming seemed unusually calm. He was not ecstatic about the honor and reward he was about to receive.

The big boss noticed this and decided to take further action.

"Comrade Yang Ming, on behalf of the Ministry of Industry, I sincerely invite you to join our team and be responsible for technical research. What do you think about this?"

As soon as these words came out, the originally calm atmosphere suddenly became tense. Especially Yang Ming's direct supervisor, Director Yang, he obviously did not expect such a turn of events.

"Old leader, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to do this?" Director Yang said anxiously, "Yang Ming is a valuable talent in our steel rolling mill. His departure will be a huge loss to us."

The big boss was unmoved. He smiled and explained, "I am doing this for the development of the national industry. Comrade Yang Ming can play a greater role in the Ministry of Industry."

However, faced with this tempting invitation and the expectant eyes of the people around him, Yang Ming shook his head firmly.

"I'm very sorry, big boss." He said calmly, "I am very grateful for your appreciation and invitation, but I think my current job in the steel mill is more suitable for me.

I hope to continue to stay here and contribute to the country's steel industry." In the daily operation of the steel rolling mill, Yang Ming has deeply integrated into this environment.

He sincerely admires Director Yang's leadership and personal charm, which makes his work here always full of joy and a sense of accomplishment.

When senior management invited him to take up a position in the Ministry of Industry, he thought carefully and ultimately chose to decline.

"I know your sincerity," Yang Ming said to the boss, "but I am really happy here. Director Yang is an excellent leader, and I am very satisfied with my work here, so I have no plans to leave here at the moment."

After hearing this, the big boss sighed slightly and expressed his understanding: "Since you have made up your mind, I will not force you." He paused and said, "But if you change your mind in the future, remember to let me know at any time."

Seeing Yang Ming's determination, the boss showed some regret on his face. He really saw Yang Ming's talent and potential and wanted to give him more development opportunities. But since Yang Ming himself was unwilling, he could only give up.

Yang Jianguo, who was standing by, felt relieved when he saw this. He was worried that the boss would keep dwelling on this matter, so he quickly suggested, "Old boss, it's almost noon, why don't we just have a simple meal in the factory?"

The big boss nodded and agreed: "You can arrange it. Don't be too particular. Just keep it simple." After hearing this, Yang Jianguo immediately signaled to the canteen manager. The canteen manager understood and hurried to the kitchen.

"Shazhu, Shazhu!" he shouted, "An important leader will have dinner in the factory today. You need to prepare a good meal!"

When Sha Zhu heard that a leader was coming, he immediately perked up. He knew that such an opportunity was rare, and the food that the leaders ate was of the best quality.

So he agreed without hesitation and made his request: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy the leaders with this table of dishes. However, can I take some of the remaining ingredients away?"

The canteen manager frowned, but considering that Sha Zhu's cooking skills were indeed good, he finally agreed to his request: "Okay, but you have to remember that this leader is very important. If there is any mistake in the dishes, you have to be careful!"

Sha Zhu nodded solemnly, indicating that he would take this task seriously.

He knew that although he was somewhat casual in the factory and in the courtyard, he would never take such an opportunity lightly.

Soon, it was noon. Sha Zhu used his cooking skills to carefully prepare a table of delicious dishes. He was looking forward to the arrival of the leaders and also looking forward to getting some extra benefits from this opportunity.

Perhaps due to considerations of the ingredients, Sha Zhu did not prepare the family-inherited Tan cuisine this time, but instead carefully cooked a table of authentic Sichuan cuisine.

When the food was served, the boss took a bite and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He praised sincerely: "This Sichuan cuisine has a unique flavor and is really authentic."

Upon seeing this, Director Yang nodded with a satisfied smile. He looked at the big boss and said slowly, "Old leader, when it comes to Sichuan cuisine, Sha Zhu's cooking skills can only be considered average."

The big boss was a little surprised and asked curiously: "Oh? There are even better cooking skills?"

Director Yang nodded, turned his gaze to Yang Ming, and said without disguising: "In fact, the real master is right in front of us. Yang Ming's cooking skills are truly perfect."

After hearing this, the big boss turned his gaze to Yang Ming, his eyes full of admiration and curiosity. He exclaimed: "Yang Ming, you are really versatile. After hearing what Xiao Yang said, I am full of expectations for your cooking skills."

Yang Ming smiled modestly and responded, "Boss, you are overpraising me. Cooking is just a hobby of mine in my spare time. I occasionally think about it."

In the past, Yang Ming might have been eager to show off his cooking skills for the big boss, but now, his status is different from before, so naturally he doesn't need to cook for anyone anymore.

The big boss nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "You are right, a gentleman does not often go into the kitchen. We should still focus on our work. However, this meal is indeed unforgettable."

He was lost in memories and said with emotion: "Back then, Xiao Yang and I were on the battlefield. Sometimes we couldn't find food for three days. One time, a villager gave me a piece of cake. The taste... is still in my mind."

Yang Jianguo also expressed deep emotion and added: "Yes, those days were indeed very difficult, and every bite of food was precious."

This conversation made the big boss give up the idea of ​​meeting the chef. If Yang Ming knew that his conversation with Director Yang inadvertently made Sha Zhu miss the opportunity to have an in-depth exchange with the big boss, perhaps he would have a different idea.
