Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 52 Li Huaide takes office

For a period of time after the attack, Yan Jiecheng stayed in the factory honestly and worked step by step.

That day, Yan Jiecheng was busy in the cafeteria, and Ding Nianrong ran to the kitchen in a hurry and said excitedly.

"Director Yan, pack up quickly and follow me to the factory gate to greet Secretary Li. He's here."

"Secretary Li?"

Yan Jiecheng didn't react at first and wondered who this Secretary Li was.

Seeing Yan Jie like this, Ding Nianrong quickly explained.

"That's Director Li Huaide of the Steel Rolling Mill. He's our new Party Secretary. Leaders from all the departments of the Ironworks have come to the factory gate. You're grateful for that."

It turned out to be Li Huaide. He had been working in the iron and steel plant for more than a month, and this guy finally arrived. Yan Jiecheng sometimes wondered if he had been stood up.

Yan Jiecheng took off his apron and handed it to Sun Jifeng who was not far away and said.

"Xiao Sun, I have something to do outside. There is also a zucchini. You can handle it yourself."

During this period, the new head of logistics had not yet taken office, so there was no adjustment to the kitchen staff.

In order to reduce the burden, Yan Jiecheng carefully trained Sun Jifeng and taught him how to cook big pot dishes every day.

Sun Jifeng is indeed knowledgeable in cooking. After being taught by Yan Jiecheng, he can now cook some simple dishes on his own.

After hearing Yan Jiecheng's instructions, Sun Jifeng immediately patted his chest and said.

"Master Yan, go ahead and do your thing. It's just a zucchini. I've cooked it before, so don't worry."

After giving instructions for the kitchen, Yan Jiecheng followed Ding Nianrong to the factory gate.

When Yan Jiecheng arrived at the factory gate and took a look, he was surprised to see that the scene was quite scary.

There was a red banner at the factory gate with the words "Warmly welcome Secretary Li to our factory" written on it in large letters.

On both sides of the factory gate, employees from each workshop were wearing work clothes and neatly arranged into squares. In front of the squares were their respective leaders.

Looking at such a magnificent scene, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but pull Ding Nianrong aside and whispered to him.

"Brother Ding, looking at this scene, all the employees in the factory should be here. This is too exaggerated."

After hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, Ding Nianrong put on a surprised expression and said.

"What's the big deal? Except for your cafeteria, almost everyone from all the workshops and departments in our factory has arrived. This is the new secretary taking office, so no matter how grand it is, it can't be too much. Follow me quickly, our logistics team is in the front."

As the canteen director, Yan Jiecheng's rank is slightly higher than that of the general logistics clerk, so he and Ding Nianrong stood in the front row of the logistics team.

I thought the welcome ceremony would be over soon, but unexpectedly, I had to wait for more than half an hour before Yan Jiecheng saw two cars driving to the factory gate from a distance.

At this time, Director Yu walked to the middle of the team and made a gesture.

Then the leaders in front of each team quickly greeted their respective teams.

"Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome."

……

As the welcome sounded in unison, Li Huaide and his entourage also got out of the car.

The old secretary and Director Yu hurried to greet him.

While welcoming Li Huaide and his entourage, they began to introduce the various teams to them.

When Li Huaide walked to the logistics team, he happened to see Yan Jiecheng in the front row. It must be said that Li Huaide was really good at winning people's hearts. In such an occasion, he actually came to Yan Jiecheng, patted Yan Jiecheng on the shoulder and said.

"Jie Cheng, how about going to the ironworks?"

As Li Huaide spoke, everyone's attention was focused on Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng puffed out his chest and spoke loudly.

"Report to the leader, everything is fine."

Li Huaide was very satisfied with Yan Jiecheng's performance. After giving him some encouragement, he walked to the next queue.

After inspecting all the queues, there was naturally a meeting of senior management of the iron and steel plant. Yan Jiecheng was naturally not qualified to attend, so he returned to the cafeteria to continue preparing lunch for the employees.

But just as he arrived at the cafeteria, Deputy Factory Director Wang Shaoquan followed him into the cafeteria.

Wang Shaoquan looked around the kitchen and said with a frown.

"Director Yan, we need to arrange a table for fifteen or sixteen people later. Is there a chef in the kitchen who can take charge?"

Yan Jiecheng said with a smile when he heard it.

"Director Wang, don't worry. I'm a chef by profession. I can't say my cooking skills are that great, but they're decent enough. I definitely won't bring shame to our factory."

Although Yan Jiecheng looked confident, Wang Shaoquan did not believe it. The key was that Yan Jiecheng was too young.

But there was no other way at this time, so he could only let Yan Jiecheng try.

"Okay, then you'll be in charge of cooking. Make the dishes more sumptuous. If the kitchen is short of anything, go find Ding Nianrong and ask him to buy it. If he's short of time, you can ask him to take some away from the restaurant."

"Okay, Director, I'll arrange it immediately."

After Wang Shaoquan left, Yan Jiecheng quickly wrote down the materials that needed to be purchased and handed them to Ding Nianrong.

To be honest, Yan Jiecheng really underestimated Ding Nianrong. You know, Yan Jiecheng made a lot of shopping lists, and many of the things on them were not easy to buy.

But Ding Nianrong went out for a walk and came back to the cafeteria with a lot of bags, which shocked Yan Jiecheng.

Who is the one with the golden finger? Isn't this too fast?
But even though he complained, Yan Jiecheng knew that the things Ding Nianrong purchased all had provenances and could withstand scrutiny, unlike himself.

Now that the materials have arrived, it's time for Yan Jiecheng to get busy.

Call two kitchen helpers to help. Sun Jifeng is in charge of the staff canteen, so I just need to go over and take a look occasionally.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng working in an orderly manner after taking the raw materials, Ding Nianrong felt much more at ease.

If the reception goes wrong, all the effort he put into purchasing the raw materials will be in vain.

After Li Huaide completed the handover with the senior management of the ironworks, he inspected all the workshops of the ironworks.

After finishing all this, he went to the cafeteria accompanied by Director Yu and others.

After everyone was seated, Director Yu asked people to start serving the dishes.

After hearing the order to serve the dishes, Yan Jiecheng did not hesitate and immediately cooked the dishes one by one and had them brought to the private room.

As the delicious dishes were served, Li Huaide had tasted Yan Jiecheng's cooking before, so he wasn't surprised. But it was the first time for the others at the table.

After finishing their meal, the old secretary, Director Yu, and the others all gave thumbs-up and praised the meal. They also asked about Wang Shaoquan, who was in charge of logistics.

"Lao Wang, where did you hire this chef from? His cooking skills are incredible."

Wang Shaoquan was also very confused at this time. The positions of three master chefs in the cafeteria's kitchen were still vacant. Who on earth had such good skills?
Could it be Yan Jiecheng? That’s impossible. That guy is so young, how could he have such good skills?
