Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

When the senior leader heard that Yan Jiefang had helped purchase a big fat pig right after he started working, he was surprised and said, "Not bad, you've made a contribution to the factory right after you came here."

The big leader changed the subject and said with a smile: "Speaking of Yan Jiefang, I really want to eat his cooking. The last time I ate his food was at another big leader's house. The cooking skills were no worse than those of the state banquet chefs."

Hearing what the big boss said, Director Yang's heart moved, because he knew that Yan Jiefang was cooking in a canteen today.

When he first arrived, his big boss gave him a task and was very concerned about Yan Jiefang's affairs. He allowed him to go to the canteen every week to cook for the employees to improve their meals.

This morning, the news that Yan Jiefang was cooking was also told to me through the canteen director Wang.

"Leader, Yan Jiefang cooks in the cafeteria once a week. Today he is cooking in the cafeteria. Should we go over and take a look?"

After hearing this, the big leader waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, I came to the cafeteria to check whether you, the factory leaders, have done your job well. Now it seems that it is still pretty good. Even if I go to the cafeteria again, I can't eat anything even if I am full just by smelling the dishes cooked by Yan Jiefang. Isn't this very uncomfortable?"

Director Yang had no choice but to give up and responded to the leaders' teachings to him and others with a smile.

Soon, several leaders left the steel mill with smiles on their faces.

Director Yang returned to his office, and before he even sat down, he said to his secretary, "Xiao Liu, go to the third cafeteria and call He Yuzhu over.

Director Yang's secretary Liu Aiguo agreed and quickly went to the third canteen.

As a qualified secretary, the ability to read people's expressions is essential. From the smile that Director Yang could hardly conceal on his face just now, Liu Aiguo knew that it must be a good thing to find He Yuzhu this time.

Because he was the secretary of a factory director, he was naturally not qualified to follow when the big boss came to inspect, and he would not know what was going on, otherwise he would definitely be able to guess what was in Director Yang's mind.

Liu Aiguo walked to the back kitchen of the third canteen. Because he was the factory director's secretary, almost everyone in the canteen knew him. Seeing him walk into the back kitchen, Liu Lan, the king of gossip, quickly stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Secretary Liu, what are you doing in the back kitchen?"

"It's Liu Lan. I'm looking for Master He Yuzhu. Director Yang wants to see Master He for something. Is Master He here?"

Liu Aiguo replied with a smile. He was quite polite in answering Liu Lan's question. He knew that Liu Lan was the mistress of Deputy Director Li of their factory. As Director Yang's secretary, he could not afford to offend such a great man as Deputy Director Li, so he was also friendly to Liu Lan.

"Shazhu is resting in the kitchen. Director Yang, what do you want to see Shazhu about?"

When he heard Director Yang's name was He Yuzhu, he became curious and asked hurriedly after Liu Aiguo finished speaking.

As the factory director's secretary, Liu Aiguo would not casually reveal the director's affairs, so he smiled and said, "I don't know what it is, but it should be a happy thing. The factory director was very happy when he asked me to call him Master He."

Then he said to Liu Lan: "Please help me call Master He. The factory manager looks very anxious."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Although Liu Lan is very gossipy, she is still very decisive in doing things and doesn't hesitate at all.

He walked into the kitchen and said to He Yuzhu who was taking a break, "Silly Zhu, Director Yang asked Secretary Liu to call you, hurry out."

After hearing Liu Lan's words, he did not let Secretary Liu wait any longer. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned, and walked out quickly.

"Hey, Secretary Liu, why are you here? What brings you here?"

When He Yuzhu saw Liu Aiguo standing at the door, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and spoke politely.

Seeing He Yuzhu coming out, he said without any nonsense, "Master He, Director Yang asked me to call you over. It must be something good. When the director asked me to call you, he was smiling."

Hearing Liu Aiguo's words, He Yuzhu was still worried. The dinner that was supposed to be held today was suddenly cancelled. Maybe something bad happened.

Now that Liu Aiguo, the factory director's secretary, told him that Director Yang had a smile on his face when he asked him to go, He Yuzhu's uneasy heart calmed down.

"Secretary Liu, let's go. We can't let the factory director wait anxiously." He Yuzhu said.

As soon as He Yuzhu finished urging him, Liu Aiguo looked at He Yuzhu with surprise. Because of Director Yang, he had dealt with He Yuzhu several times and knew his temper.

In the past, he didn't care whether the factory director was waiting impatiently or not. Sometimes when He Yuzhu was unhappy and came to call him, he would leave him alone for half an hour. Now he actually knows to consider others.

Liu Aiguo was surprised for a moment, but without thinking too much, he went to Director Yang's office with He Yuzhu.

"Dong, dong dong!"

"Director, Master He Yuzhu is here."

Liu Aiguo stood at the door of Director Yang's office and shouted into the office.

"Let him in quickly!"

Director Yang's slightly excited voice came from the office.

Liu Aiguo opened the office door and let He Yuzhu go in.

He Yuzhu was also very curious. What did Director Yang want to talk to him about?

"Director Yang, do you have something to talk to me about?" He Yuzhu asked.

When Director Yang saw He Yuzhu coming, he also stood up and said with a smile: "Sit down, Zhuzi, you have made our factory proud in front of the leaders today. The leaders are very satisfied with the dishes you cooked for the workers."

"In addition, your performance during this period has been quite good. The factory has decided to end your punishment and restore your previous treatment. Your salary will be restored to 37.5 yuan."

He Yuzhu was so shocked by the news given by Director Yang that he was speechless. Although he didn't need the 37.5 yuan a month, a little bit is still meat, and an extra 20 yuan a month is also good.

Although He Yuzhu was called Shazhu by others, he was not really stupid. Director Yang said that his cooking skills made him proud. Knowing that his cooking skills were recognized by the leaders, he quickly expressed his loyalty and said, "Director, I am just a cook. Isn't it my duty to cook well? Whenever you want me to cook a dish, just give me a call and I will cook it for you even if I am busy."

Hearing what He Yuzhu said, Director Yang smiled even more. This bad-tempered fool He Yuzhu actually knew how to please his boss.

"Okay, Zhuzi, you said it. Come with me to the leader's house to cook next Sunday. You can't stand me up!" said Director Yang.

"No problem, Director, don't worry, I promise to get it done for you." He Yuzhu said confidently.

Seeing He Yuzhu agreed, Director Yang felt relieved and said with a smile: "Okay, just these two things, you go back first, and I will send someone to pick you up on Sunday."
