Chapter 240: First Meeting with the Steel Mill Leader

Director Fan did not dare to bring too many people to the banquet, so he only brought a few key leaders and a few clerks who knew about the situation.

"Remember, this banquet is for the smooth transformation of the steel plant. No one can disrupt this overall situation. If you have any opinions, keep them to yourself.

I will write a letter of apology to the organization after I return to take responsibility for this incident."

"Director Fan, how can we let you write it? Let me do it." Deputy Director Cao said quickly.

Yang Peishan also knew that he couldn't let Director Fan write alone, so he also said that they wanted to work together.

In the end, the three of them decided to write a letter of self-examination together and report to the organization.

The steel plant did not have that many cars, so they squeezed together with the shareholders to go to the Enmei Hotel.

The shareholders were very happy and tried to get close to the people in their cars. Some were dissatisfied with the capitalists and perfunctorily dealt with them, while others were more capable and had a great time chatting with the capitalists.

Director Fan naturally sat with Lou Zhenheng, and the two of them spoke in a friendly manner.

Lou Zhenheng said, "I see you and Director Yang are still riding bicycles. That's not okay. I have two unused cars at home, so I'll give them to you."

Director Fan said, "That won't do. Old Lou, I've already violated my principles by agreeing to go out to dinner with you. I absolutely cannot take your car."

Lou Zhenheng said: "Then give it to the steel mill. When the factory needs a car, it won't have to ask for help. You must listen to me on this matter. Director Fan, I tell you, you can't use the military system to run a factory. I'm not saying that the military system is bad, it's just not suitable for business.

If a steel mill wants to develop, it needs to cooperate with others. You have to keep up appearances. Otherwise, others will look down on you. "

Lou Zhenheng is called Lou Bancheng, so he must have his own uniqueness. Director Fan listened carefully to Lou Zhenheng's experience and made up for his own shortcomings.

After getting out of the car, he said to Li Huaide, "Xiao Li, find two people who can drive tomorrow and go to Mr. Lou's house to drive. Mr. Lou donated two cars to the steel mill."

There was no contempt in Li Huaide's eyes, but deep envy. This was the life he wanted.

Today's banquet taught young Li Huaide a good lesson and aroused his ambition. After returning, he worked hard and finally found a way to rise to prominence by pursuing a princess.

This is a later story, so I won’t mention it here.

After Manager Zhao hung up the phone with Director Han, he ran to the kitchen and told Wu Bangming that there was a distinguished guest and asked him to show off his skills.

After talking to Wu Bangming, he walked over to He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, you have to personally prepare this dish of boiled fish. You must make it well."

He Yuzhu nodded and promised to do it seriously. He did not ask who was coming to eat.

Wu Bangming had instructed that the cook should not ask the guests when cooking. If he dared to ask, he would definitely be beaten up by Wu Bangming.

Sha Zhu once asked about the identity of a customer and was beaten by Wu Bangming. Later, he gradually learned not to ask about the identity of a customer.

The atmosphere in the private room was not harmonious.

The shareholders were talking about the origin of the dishes, while the leaders of the government were a little embarrassed. How could they tell the origin of the ingredients?

However, they can still tell whether it tastes good or not.

After eating the food at Emei Restaurant, they finally understood why the shareholders were unwilling to eat the big pot meals at the steel plant. There was really no comparison. Compared to these dishes, those were just pig food.

Even Yang Peishan didn't say anything, let alone other people.

Li Huaide held his wine glass, listened carefully to what the shareholders said, and kept it firmly in mind. He even asked the people at the same table how to distinguish the color of the dishes.

Lou Zhenheng was also happy with the meal and said, "I came to Emei Restaurant for dinner last year, and they didn't have the dish of boiled fish yet. Why didn't Lao Zhao tell me when it was served?"

Manager Zhao brought the waiter in with the dishes and said, "Boss Lou, you are wrongly accusing me. At the end of last year, when our restaurant made this dish, I called you personally. You said you would come back when you were free, and I kept waiting.

I was thinking that I had offended you in some way, so that you disliked our Emei Restaurant." Lou Zhenheng laughed: "You, Old Zhao. I was wrong, okay! When you called me, I had a toothache. Do you think I dared to come and eat your Sichuan cuisine?
After my teeth healed, it was Chinese New Year and the steel plant was undergoing renovation, so I forgot about coming to taste your food.

I offer a toast as my apology."

After they had a drink, Lou Zhenheng asked, "Where did you invite this chef from?"

Lao Niu smiled and said, "You may not believe this, but this dish was invented by Lao Wu's apprentice based on the dish of boiled pork slices."

"Oh, Lao Wu's apprentice. I was wondering why this dish has some of Lao Wu's heritage. When did Lao Wu accept this apprentice?"

Manager Zhao introduced He Yuzhu's background and inevitably mentioned He Daqing.

"So it's a family tradition. Old He was smart enough to leave his son to Old Wu and live his life to the fullest."

The leaders of the public side don’t know what’s going on, but the small shareholders know it all.

Lou Zhenheng quietly explained He Daqing's situation to Director Fan. Director Fan was speechless. It was not human to abandon his son and daughter in order to find a wife.

"The Yi Zhonghai you are talking about, is that the Yi Zhonghai from the steel plant?"

When Director Fan asked, Lou Zhenheng asked Director Han to answer.

Director Han said, "That's him."

When Yang Peishan heard this, he felt it was impossible, so he said, "Old Han, maybe you are mistaken. I have also met Master Yi before, and I think he is a good person. He has a good reputation among the workers."

Director Han then remembered that Yi Zhonghai had joined Yang Peishan, and he regretted mentioning Yi Zhonghai.

Although his rank was higher than Yang Peishan's, Yang Peishan was a public servant. He would retire in two years, so there was no need to offend Yang Peishan.

"I also heard it from others. It may not be true."

Yang Peishan said coldly: "Director Han, you are the director, how can you slander the workers in your own factory based on hearsay?"

Director Fan quietly kicked Yang Peishan under the table and said, "Xiao Yang is drunk. Let's not talk about this. I am interested in Master He who invented this dish. Can you please come up and let me take a look?"

He Yuzhu was a little surprised. Most of the dishes on the table were made by Wu Bangming. Those old customers came here for Wu Bangming's cooking skills. If he wanted to meet someone, he should meet Wu Bangming.

Wu Bangming was quite open-minded: "Zhu Zi, just go! Remember my words, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't look at what you shouldn't look at."

With these words, He Yuzhu followed Manager Zhao to the private room.

He recognized Yang Peishan and several other leaders of the steel mill at a glance. Of course, he also recognized Li Huaide, the future director.

At this time, Li Huaide had a low status and had fallen to the point of sitting at the same table with the drivers of those shareholders.

"Hello bosses."

Lou Zhenheng looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Are you He Daqing's son?"

"Yes." He Yuzhu answered honestly without saying another word.

Although Lou Zhenheng was Sha Zhu's adopted father-in-law, the two of them had very little interaction and only met once. That was when Lou Zhenheng was arrested and Sha Zhu took Lou Xiao'e to ask the senior leaders for help to rescue him.

The two never met again after that.

Lou Zhenheng took Lou Xiao'e to Hong Kong for refuge, and eventually died of illness in Hong Kong, never returning to BJ. After the reform and opening up, Lou Xiao'e brought his ashes back for burial.
