Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

When the party ended at Liu Haizhong's house, both Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were quite drunk.

Yi Zhonghai is now left unattended. When he returns home, he closes the door, lies down on the bed, and falls asleep.

Yan Bugui, on the other hand, was personally served by the three aunts.

"How did Guangtian's blind date go? Did Lao Yi agree to it?"

If you heard this elsewhere, you'd definitely be laughed at.

But this is Courtyard No. 95.

It's perfectly normal to say that.

Yan Bugui said, "Would he dare to disagree? In our courtyard, he might dare to ruin anyone's matchmaking, but he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on our two families."

Don't forget. His powerful backer, the deaf old woman, is dead.

The third aunt said, "That's hard to say. Don't forget, Qin Huai was in contact with Guangtian's girlfriend today."

Yan Bugui was startled: "Old Yi wouldn't really be planning to sabotage this, would he? Guangtian won't affect his retirement, so why would he target Guangtian?"

The third aunt pursed her lips: "Who knows? Maybe he resents Liu Guangtian working for Xu Damao."

Yan Bugui rubbed his head: "Then we don't need to worry. Our family doesn't work for Xu Damao."

Remember to find someone tomorrow to pass a message to Jiefang, asking him to come back and discuss the blind date.

……

"Director He, Deputy Director Meng is hosting a lunch party today, and he needs you to cook for us personally."

The messenger was Ma Ning, a member of the Song Committee. He was the first to pledge allegiance to Meng Bo and is now one of Meng Bo's confidants.

He Yuzhu raised his head and said, "Let me cook myself?"
Do you know that I'm the deputy director of logistics? Have you ever seen a deputy director of logistics in a factory cooking in the kitchen?

If you want some, just go to the kitchen and ask which chef is available.

Ma Ning glared angrily at He Yuzhu: "This is a task assigned by the leadership."

He Yuzhu didn't bother to pay attention to him: "Handling logistics and managing the canteen are my main jobs."

It's not about cooking anymore.

With so many cooks in the factory, surely they can't satisfy Deputy Director Meng's appetite?
What is he going to eat?

"You just wait." Ma Ning knew very well that Li Huaide was standing behind He Yuzhu.

Although he was appreciated by Meng Bo, he still didn't dare to offend Li Huaide.

He Yuzhu ignored him, picked up his teacup, and went to Zhao Kangcheng's office to chat with him.

The two are long-time partners and enjoy working together very much.

Zhao Kangcheng was power-hungry, and He Yuzhu was too lazy to manage things.

When Zhao Kangcheng saw He Yuzhu, he smiled wryly and said, "Deputy Director He, what brings you here?"

He Yuzhu sat down on the sofa and said, "Director Zhao, I'm here to report to you on my work."

Zhao Kangcheng said, "Come on. Why didn't you come and help me when Deputy Director Meng was checking the accounts a while ago?"

He Yuzhu said with a smile, "I'm coming, but I'm afraid you'll kick me out."

Everyone knows that his first act upon taking office was to try and bring me down.

I'm coming over, and the people he arranges can stay in your office.

Besides, you're alright, aren't you?"

Zhao Kangcheng sighed: "I'm retiring in less than two years, and this happens right before I retire. Isn't this going to kill me?"

He Yuzhu didn't care at all.

He has worked with Zhao Kangcheng for so many years, he knows him very well.

This man wasn't without greed, but he had his limits. His personality was somewhat similar to Li Huaide's, which explained why Li Huaide trusted him so much.

According to normal circumstances, Zhao Kangcheng will land safely.

When Ma Ning returned to Meng Bo's office, he embellished the story and told him what had happened.

Ma Ning slammed his fist on the table in anger: "What is He Yuzhu trying to do? Does he have no sense of organization or discipline?"

Ma Ning said, "Sha Zhu has always been like this. He relies on his good skills and doesn't give face to anyone."

When Yang Peishan was the factory director, he asked the old lady to take care of her, and she immediately gave him the cold shoulder.

As a result, Yang Peishan blocked his position and prevented him from being promoted.

He served as the deputy director of the cafeteria for ten years. If Director Li hadn't come to power, he could have held that position forever.

"Don't mention Yang Peishan. Don't you know he's someone who made mistakes?"

"Yes, you are right," Ma Ning quickly apologized.

Meng Bo gritted his teeth and said, "I refuse to believe that I can starve to death without that idiot Zhu."

In the cafeteria, besides Sha Zhu, who's the best cook?

Ma Ning didn't know anything about this. He wasn't an expert and couldn't tell the difference in a chef's skill level.

But he couldn't ignore what his superior said.

Ma Ning thought for a moment and said, "In terms of seniority, Master Zhao and Master Li are all quite good."

However, they rarely have the opportunity to get hands-on experience.

The small kitchen in the factory has always been run by Sha Zhu and his apprentices. His two apprentices' skills must be quite good too.

Ma Ning is also a smart man; he put Ma Hua and Duan Zicong's names last.

Meng Bo is not someone who doesn't know the ropes. If he really didn't know the ropes, he wouldn't have noticed that the dishes that day weren't made by He Yuzhu.

If the other cooks at the steel rolling mill were truly skilled, they wouldn't have allowed He Yuzhu to dominate the business.

"Here's what you'd like to do: go find Ma Hua and Duan Zicong and have them take charge of today's hospitality."

Ma Ning went out of the house, thinking that he and Ma Hua shared the same surname, so he went to find Ma Hua.

Given MCA's temperament, they wouldn't bother with anyone who opposes Ho Yu Chu.

However, He Yuzhu had told him not to act impulsively, so he agreed to help with the cooking.

I may agree, but whether I'll put my heart into it is another matter.

Soon, Meng Bo arrived with his guests.

He Yuzhu glanced out the window and then stopped caring.

They are all acquaintances.

He Yuzhu knew the person Meng Bo had invited.

It turned out that there was a deputy director of the Machinery and Electronics Industry Bureau, surnamed Shang, but at the time we didn't know his real name.

At the time, I was cooking for another leader, and he was one of the guests invited.

As for what unit this Deputy Director Shang currently works for, He Yuzhu wasn't quite sure.

"Xiao Meng, I ate Director He's cooking a few years ago."

"Thanks to you, I got to eat his cooking again this time."

Meng Bo looked somewhat embarrassed and didn't dare to tell the truth. He only hoped that Ma Hua could learn some of He Yuzhu's skills and that Director Shang wouldn't notice anything amiss.

"Director Shang, don't worry. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Director Shang entered the private room with a smile.

Meng Bo stared at Ma Ning: "I'm warning you, this time there absolutely cannot be any problems. If there are any problems, I won't let you off the hook."

Seeing this situation, Ma Ning had a bad feeling. After Meng Bo said that, his heart started to pound.

"Deputy Director Meng, I'll go keep an eye on Ma Hua right away."

Meng Bo nodded and said, "Tell him to hurry up and serve the food."

Ma Ning went to the cafeteria and started watching Ma Hua cook.

Ma Hua didn't use any underhanded tricks; he just added too much chili and didn't cook the food properly.

Ma Ning was choked by the fumes and tears kept streaming down his face: "Ma Hua, do you even know how to cook? How can you eat something this pungent?"

Ma Hua said, "I studied Sichuan cuisine. Sichuan cuisine is just this spicy."

"I used too much chili when I made it, of course it's pungent. If you're not satisfied, have someone else make it."

At this point, Ma Ning had no way to find a cook. He could only let Ma Hua do it.

He wasn't a fool either. After MCA finished cooking, he took some chopsticks and tasted it to make sure it was okay before letting it be served.

Ma Ning didn't notice anything wrong, but Director Shang and Meng Bo noticed something was amiss once the food was served.

These dishes are edible, but the cooking skills are lacking.

"Did Director He make this?" Director Shang took a bite and found it tasted very similar to He Yuzhu's cooking, but nowhere near as delicious. (End of Chapter)
