Siheyuan: I Called the Police at the Beginning

Chapter 39: Bicycle Tickets (Seeking All Kinds of Tickets!)
"Haha, Comrade Ping An, you're here! You came really early. You're indeed a good colleague."

In order to avoid the harassment of Yi Zhonghai and others, Geng Pingan arrived at the factory earlier than other workers.

As soon as he arrived in the kitchen, he saw Director Ma who seemed to have been waiting for him for a while.

As soon as they met, Director Ma praised enthusiastically.

"Director Yang already knows about yesterday's incident. You did a great job. Countless workers praised your craftsmanship. You are truly worthy of being that person's nephew."

"Due to your excellence, Director Yang asked you to go to his office immediately upon your arrival."

"Don't worry, it's a good thing."

"Okay, Director Ma, I'll be right there."

Although he said "I understand", Geng Ping'an felt a little disgusted in his heart.

If you don't know how to praise others, then don't do it. Don't just make small talk.

You have to praise me, right?

"Comrade Ping'an, you're here, sit down!"

Boom boom boom!
After knocking on the door of the factory director's office, Geng Ping'an walked in with a shout of "Come in".

As soon as I opened the door, Director Yang warmly welcomed me and I sat down.

Straight to the point.

"I called you here this time because I wanted to commend you on behalf of the factory."

"Although yesterday was only your first day on the job, we all recognize your contributions and value. The improvements you made to the Third Canteen are truly significant and of great significance."

"So, I decided to reward you with a bicycle ticket. I saw that you don't have a car, and it will be convenient for you to go to work in the future."

"Thank you, Director Yang. What a coincidence! I was just planning to buy a car."

He was just thinking about buying a car yesterday, and today Director Yang gave him a bicycle ticket.

Is it the God of Fortune who has come to make your wishes come true?

Geng Pingan took the much-needed bicycle ticket from Director Yang and said with relief.

But it was obvious that Director Yang did not pay for this ticket out of his own pocket.

But as he said, it was a reward given by the factory.

It can be seen that Director Yang, who seems to be fair and impartial in the original book, is not that honest.

But he likes it.

"Well, that's what it is. Comrade Ping'an, do your best and don't let the factory down."

"Whether the factory trusts me or not is up to you, the factory director, to decide."

Geng Ping'an looked at Director Yang who seemed to be pointing at something.

I wonder if this is an attempt to win him over.

Thinking about the clear-cut factional struggles in the factory in the future, Geng Ping'an wondered if Director Yang was asking him to take sides.

Fortunately, he has someone backing him up.

If he is given a few more years to sign in, it is not impossible for him to have a bunch of big-shot relatives in the future.

By then, Director Yang will be the one rushing to stand on his side.

Therefore, Geng Ping'an did not rush to express his opinion. He just pretended that he did not understand and nodded.

"I will definitely complete my job well and not let the factory down."

Director Yang is a very busy man and has many things, big and small, to deal with.

At this time, he was processing various important documents without even raising his head.

He waved his hand, signaling Geng Ping'an that he could leave.

Perhaps Director Yang called Geng Ping'an this time just to reward him.

Make good friends with Wang Yijun who is behind him.

'Maybe I'm just overthinking it.'

Left the office.

Geng Ping'an simply stopped worrying about it.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person.

Although I have watched a lot of palace fighting dramas and spy war dramas.

There is also a huge foresight advantage in understanding the plot of the courtyard house.

But in reality, there is no such thing as 100% certainty or seeing through people's hearts.

Soldiers like Director Yang who have retired from the front lines and have truly experienced countless wars.

It's normal that he can't understand what she is thinking.

He had previously thought that Director Yang would take the opportunity to talk to him about providing special treatment for the factory leaders.

Now it seems.

Based on the development of the original work, he still couldn't deduce it.

The idea of ​​giving special treatment was actually only thought up by Director Yang some time later.

It was not until Deputy Director Li took office that this kind of "evil practice" that led to a bad atmosphere was introduced.

After all, Deputy Director Li has been using Sha Zhu's cooking skills to entertain other factory leaders and attract investment.

Director Yang also uses public resources for personal gain.

It was very utilitarian for Sha Zhu to take the initiative to go to the leader to prepare a table of Sichuan cuisine.

He also brought Xu Damao with him to show private movies to the leaders.

When Geng Ping'an returned to the kitchen, everyone inside was already busy preparing the food, with smiles on their faces.

Only Sha Zhu, with a gloomy face, hid in the corner, washing and peeling the potatoes one by one.

Even if you don't accept it, you can only accept it.

Look at the several large buckets of potatoes covered in dirt beside him that have not been processed yet.

Apparently, there was a lot of work to do today.

Seeing Geng Ping'an's arrival, Zhang Aiguo immediately praised himself.

"Chef Geng, we've prepared twice as much food today. We won't let the workers go hungry like what happened yesterday."

"Okay, but you'd better wash some more vegetables and keep them ready, so that some of the workers won't want to take more lunch boxes home."

"Even if we prepare more in the budget, we cannot allow the situation where supply exceeds demand again."

Geng Ping'an is more confident in his cooking skills than anyone else.

Having watched many TV dramas, he felt that Zhang Aiguo's preparation was still too conservative.

If you say something like this to show off in front of your leader, you will often get slapped in the face by an unexpected event.

"I understand, Chef."

After hearing what Geng Ping'an said, Zhang Aiguo felt unsure.

Thinking of the extremely exaggerated scene yesterday, he was not sure how many people would come today and how many meals they would order.

Anyway, just follow the leader's instructions.

So he immediately called a few aunts to help in the kitchen and bring a few bags of cabbage and potatoes from the warehouse.

Then he turned around and shouted to Shazhu who was peeling potatoes in the corner.

"Silly Zhu, didn't you eat breakfast? Hurry up, there are still a lot of potatoes that need to be processed."

"It's all your fault that the workers can't have lunch at noon."

'He's a qualified lackey.'

Nodding, Geng Ping'an no longer paid attention to the conflicts among his subordinates.

He said to Zhang Aiguo, "Come here, everyone. Today I will teach you how to make another dish, Shandong hotpot."

“Although there is no meat, various vegetarian dishes can also be cooked together to make them delicious and tender.”

"And the best thing about this dish is that it has all kinds of vegetarian dishes, not just one. One dish includes the steps for making several dishes, which saves a lot of time."

Hear the words.

Zhang Aiguo and the two young kitchen helpers from yesterday immediately put down their work.

Came in front of Geng Pingan.

Yesterday they didn't understand how rare the opportunity was for Geng Ping'an to teach them.

Now they don’t understand.

This is probably the biggest opportunity in their lives.

After learning this skill, they can get ahead in any factory.

I even have some confidence to go out and take on some red and white banquets with a simple budget.

At noon, Geng Ping'an patrolled the cafeteria, observing the expressions and conditions of the people while they were eating.

In case of any emergency.

At the same time, he also needs to see if there is enough food, and he must be prepared to make a few more pots at any time.

Hundreds of workers were seen standing in front of the three windows, forming three long lines early in the morning.

Geng Ping'an felt quite accomplished.

These people came because of his craftsmanship.

Sure enough, there are far more people coming to eat today than yesterday.

The budget for two servings is probably not enough to sell.

Faced with a large crowd of people, Zhang Aiguo and others felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Soon it became busy going back and forth.

He kept shouting towards the inner room behind him.

"One person ordered three servings of shredded potatoes and five servings of green beans. The hotpot is sold out again. Hurry! Bring two more buckets from the kitchen!"

"Geng Ping'an, why is it you?"

Among the crowd of people getting food, Geng Ping'an unexpectedly saw someone, or perhaps it wasn't that unexpected.

After all, Yi Zhonghai was in the steel mill, and the two would always meet.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai twisting the lunch box, he looked at himself in great surprise.

Geng Pingan said calmly.

"Master Yi is a very forgetful person. I just told you this morning that I have started working at the steel mill."

"Oh, yes, look at my memory."

Yi Zhonghai was not annoyed by Geng Ping'an's small criticism.

Said with a false smile.

"It seems you work in the cafeteria. The cafeteria is good, you don't have to worry about food. Besides, Sha Zhu is here too, so you can ask him to take care of you, a newcomer."

It seemed as if he had completely forgotten the several conflicts that Sha Zhu and Geng Ping'an had had not long ago.

He was even sent to jail by Geng Ping'an once.

Yi Zhonghai praised in front of everyone.

"Shazhu is a kind-hearted person. You are neighbors, and he will definitely not stand idly by if something happens."
