Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

No one could come up with a better solution than Li Huaide, so they finally decided to give this method a try.

Even if you lose, you won’t suffer any loss. At most you will just have to crawl under the table.

Yang Peishan raised a question: "What about the cooks? The cooks in our factory are really not good at cooking. We can't eat Western food! If we eat Western food, it will be bad for us."

Li Huaide sneered in his heart, you want to find a cook, but you are reluctant to give someone a position. You used an apprentice to humiliate people, and now you regret it.

He did not rush to speak, but sat aside and watched the fun.

Li Huaide knew very well that Yang Peishan and his people were not good at handling these things. They usually looked down on Li Huaide's tools and thought that he, Li Huaide, could only flatter.

But why don’t they think about this: without his ability to please everyone, can the steel mill make a profit?
Sure enough, Yang Peishan and his people gave a lot of random ideas, and some of them were rejected by themselves as soon as they were put forward.

Director Fan felt a headache when he saw this scene. He had never encountered such a problem in previous meetings. After a closer look, he found that Li Huaide did not speak, and then he remembered.

Usually, it was Li Huaide who arranged these things, and every time he made everyone feel comfortable. This time, he didn't say anything, and the situation became as chaotic as a vegetable market.

He knew that the best way was to ask Li Huaide.

It’s just that the way to be an official is to strike a balance.

Li Huaide, a person in charge of logistics, helped the production department come up with a solution, which was enough. Li Huaide should not be the only one to take the limelight.

Over there, the production department is still selecting candidates.

When a proposal is made here, someone there will say that the Soviet people dislike the food cooked by that person because it is not tasty.

As the head of the production department, Yang Peishan was in a dilemma. The people who recommended him were right, as they had all tasted the dishes cooked by those chefs and they were indeed delicious.

Those who vetoed it were not wrong, those Soviet people really did not like to eat it.

If you want the Su people to attend the Hongmen Banquet, you must prepare a table of satisfactory dishes. If they are not satisfied, they will just drink a lot, and the plan will definitely fail.

After arguing for a while, Yang Peishan had no choice but to turn to look at Director Han who had been silent.

"Director Han, can you find Director Lou and ask him to help find a chef?"

Director Han smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that Director Lou has found all the people he can. Those Su people are not satisfied. Because of our steel mill, Director Lou has offended many chefs.

I really can’t open my mouth…”

Director Han had no way out, and Yang Peishan really had no way out. He didn't know much about the chef world in Beijing, and didn't know any good chefs.

He knew that the chefs in several large restaurants such as Fengzeyuan were very good, but he didn't have the face to hire people from these places.

Director Fan saw that he had given you a chance, but you were useless. If this Hongmen Banquet didn't work, it would be fine. If it did succeed, the biggest credit would go to Li Huaide.

Will you still have the nerve to go out and meet people in the future?

"Well, does anyone have any good ideas?"

The meeting room was silent. Many people lowered their heads, fearing that they would be ordered to do something.
When Director Fan saw this, he didn't waste any more time and said, "Director Li, since you came up with this idea, then you can recommend a chef!"

Li Huaide did not delay and said, "It is my duty. I also asked some chefs and found a suitable one."

Everyone present was smart, how could they not know that Li Huaide came prepared.

They knew it, but they couldn't do anything to Li Huaide. Who let him be so capable and good at flattering?

“Which chef is it?”

Li Huaide glanced at Yang Peishan and said, "I won't tell you who this person is. I can assure you that if his cooking skills are not good, we can only hire a chef for the state banquet."

Everyone became even more curious now.

Some people relied on their good relationship with Li Huaide and started to make friends directly: "Old Li, when did you learn to keep people in suspense? Just speak out, so that everyone can understand what is going on." Li Huaide looked at Yang Peishan deeply again: "Everyone, it's really not me, I'm just afraid...

Just think of this as a surprise for you all!"

If it was the first time seeing Yang Peishan, no one would have paid much attention.

This is the second time we see Yang Peishan, and no one will ignore him.

But they couldn't figure out what the relationship was between the chef Li Huaide found and Yang Peishan.

Everyone is familiar with Yang Peishan. He was born into a peasant family, served in the army, was later transferred to the ministry, and then to the steel rolling mill.

His resume shows too little contact with chefs.

Yang Peishan was also confused, not understanding why Li Huaide would look at him. He thought about the people he knew, but couldn't think of anyone who was related to the chef.

He didn't even know many of the chefs in the restaurant. Although he was the deputy director of a steel mill, his family was not well off. He had to send part of his monthly salary back to his hometown in the countryside, so he didn't have the spare money to eat out.

Li Huaide, on the other hand, often goes to restaurants after receiving his salary. I heard that he pursues his wife because of the delicious food.

Not only this time, Yang Peishan found that Li Huaide was tripping him up many times. Li Huaide always voted in favor of other people's proposals, but often voted against his ideas.

Yang Peishan put it aside for the time being. The key now is to solve the problem of the Su people. As long as Li Huaide solves this problem, he will be the biggest beneficiary.

To mess with Li Huaide is to mess with yourself.

Thinking of this, Yang Peishan interrupted the discussion of the people below: "Director Fan, I think we should arrange it as soon as possible."

Director Fan nodded and put aside his doubts: "Everyone, stop arguing. Director Du, take the translator with you and secretly look for those two Soviet people. As long as they are willing to help, we will not treat them unfairly."

Director Du immediately accepted the order and promised to complete the task. The conflict between him and Li Huaide was a personal grudge. In the face of the interests of the steel mill, it was not worth mentioning.

Seeing that he was sensible, Director Fan did not criticize him: "Everyone should be well prepared recently. No one can slack off. Whoever slacks off, I will deal with him. Does anyone have anything else to say?"

Li Huaide said: "We should find a few people who can drink and persuade others to drink in advance. Those Su people can drink too much. Don't let them fall down before we fall down."

Everyone laughed and promised not to.

But no one was sure of themselves, as they had drunk with the Soviets many times, with more losses than wins.

After the meeting, Li Huaide left the steel mill and took a car to Emei Hotel.

"Zhu Zi, the steel mill has been dealt with. My fate is in your hands. You must succeed."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Brother Li, as long as those Su people are willing to sit down and eat, there will be no problem on my side.

Look, this is the menu I prepared for you. It includes Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Northeastern cuisine and Western food.

I also prepared braised carp and braised lion's head, which are on the menu for the state banquet.

Whether it's taste or appearance, we've done everything for you."

When Li Huaide heard this, he became more confident: "I didn't expect you know so much. I thought you only knew Sichuan cuisine."

He Yuzhu explained: "I am best at Sichuan cuisine, which I cook the most. Next is Shandong cuisine, which is a family tradition, and a little bit of Tan cuisine. I can cook other dishes, but I don't have the chance to cook them due to the conditions."

Li Huaide asked curiously: "What are the conditions?"

He Yuzhu said, "Brother Li, our restaurant is called Emei Restaurant, and our main dish is Sichuan cuisine. When guests come, they also eat Sichuan cuisine. Can I cook other dishes?"

Li Huaide laughed: "Then follow me in the future, I guarantee you will have a chance." (End of this chapter)
