Siheyuan: First-class Merit at the Start

On the second day of work after the Chinese New Year, Li Polu still maintained his habit of early exercise. After finishing breakfast, he knocked on the door of Chen Xi and He Yushui's room.

Then he rode his bike to work.

He Yushui was quite traumatized last night, and Chen Xi had to comfort her for a long time before she fell into a deep sleep.

After all, having such an unlucky brother would make anyone collapse.

Li Polu had just sat down in the technical department office and had just made a cup of tea, but before he could drink it, Chen Jun made a brilliant appearance.

When Li Polu saw Chen Jun, he guessed that all the parts for the steelmaking furnace were in place.

"Chief Li, the director asked me to come and invite you." Chen Jun said with a smile while standing at the door.

Li Polu looked at the teacup in his hand, then looked at Chen Jun, and finally sighed helplessly.

"Let's go."

Seeing that the vehicle did not seem to be heading towards the Industrial Department, Li Polu, who was sitting in the car, could not help but ask: "Isn't the furnace assembly in the department? Where are we going?"

"We are going to Jingshan District now. The director of the steelmaking furnace test product department has arranged it at a steel plant. After all, there are more raw materials here, so it is convenient to do anything."

On the other side, Factory Director Li Huaide, who was originally planning to find Li Bolu to discuss the workers' requirements for the new workshop, was speechless for a long time when he looked at the secondment order issued by the Industrial Bureau in his hand.

I'm going to say, your workshop and your technical department haven't even been set up yet. You ran away again, what the hell is going on?

At the same time, I was secretly regretful. It seemed that many of the gifts given by the workers yesterday would have to be returned.

After all, he would never steal other people's things if the matter was not done. This was a matter of principle. And he, Li Huaide, was a principled man.

This day was destined to be an extraordinary day. Sha Zhu slept leisurely until he woke up naturally, and then went to work at the steel mill as usual.

When I arrived at the steel mill, the first thing I did was to report to the canteen director. After all, I had been there before, so I knew the rules.

Then I received a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue.

He, a level 7 chef and team leader of the second canteen, was reduced to a kitchen helper.

Moreover, the thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents that he was so proud of were gone.

Of course, Li Polu had already told him about this yesterday. But he was so angry with He Yushui yesterday that he didn't listen at all. Otherwise, with a buffer time of one night, it wouldn't be so difficult for him to accept it.

Sha Zhu, who was unwilling to accept the defeat, tore down the door of the canteen director's office and walked out.

I'm going to ask Director Yang for justice. Damn canteen director, how dare you demote me and insult me. I didn't expect that my buddy has someone above me.

It can be said that Sha Zhu and Director Yang have a really good relationship. There are many reasons for this. First, because of the deaf old lady, he has a good impression of Sha Zhu.

Secondly, it was because Sha Zhu's cooking skills were indeed unique in the factory, whether he was cooking for himself or asked to cook for someone outside, Sha Zhu could always complete the task beautifully.

These two reasons also formed Sha Zhu's arrogant and domineering personality in the factory. It was common for him to be late and leave early. He didn't take people like the canteen director and Li Huaide, who was in charge of logistics, seriously.

However, usually, due to Director Yang's appearance, no one dares to say anything to him.

As usual, Sha Zhu came to the factory building and the factory director's office. He knocked twice, and then without waiting for a reply, he pushed the door open and walked in.

"Director Yang, what's the big deal? I was just wronged. Why did that bastard Li Huaide from the logistics department demote me?"

Sha Zhu walked into the room without even looking at anyone and started to complain.

As he was talking, he met the gaze of Li Huaide who was sitting at the desk.

For a moment, the air seemed to be quiet.

Sha Zhu scratched his head and walked out again with some uncertainty. He glanced at the words "Factory Director's Office" on the door.

Walked in again.

"Um, Deputy Director Li. Why are you in Director Yang's office? Where is Director Yang?"

Li Huaide said calmly, "Director Yang has been transferred to the Industrial Department. Comrade He Yuzhu, is there anything I can do for you? I am now the director of the steel rolling mill. You can report anything to me."

After saying that, he looked at Sha Zhu with a smile, as if Sha Zhu was not scolding him just now.

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"Okay, since you are the factory director now, I have to ask you something. I was wrongly accused and then arrested. Why did the factory demote me? Hurry up and promote me back to my current position. Otherwise, I will quit."

After saying that, Sha Zhu turned his head away arrogantly and no longer looked at Li Huaide.

He has the execution, the factory cannot do without his cooking skills. The factory's banquets still depend on him. He has the confidence to make the conditions.

"Okay." Li Huaide still smiled.

He responded with a roar and took out a piece of official paper and a pen from the drawer, and then placed them on the opposite side of the desk.

"Write your resignation letter and you don't have to come to work tomorrow."

In this era, workers were said to have iron rice bowls, similar to civil servants in later generations. Getting in was much harder than being fired.

Even the decision on how to deal with Sha Zhu and others was made after several meetings of the factory leadership.

The topic of the meeting naturally revolved around whether these people should be expelled or punished.

However, after several meetings, the decision was finally made to impose a penalty instead of expelling him.

The main reason is that there is no precedent of expulsion in this era.

Some people only have two results: execution or detention. The reason is very simple. If you make a minor mistake, you will not be fired. If you make a major mistake, you will be fired immediately. There is no chance for you to be fired by the factory.

But now this silly Zhu doesn't want to do it anymore.

Li Huaide naturally would not spoil Sha Zhu like Director Yang did, so he directly let him write his own resignation letter.

I can't fire you, but you insist on leaving. I can't stop you from leaving, right?

The originally arrogant Sha Zhu was also confused: No, why don't you play by the rules? Director Yang was not like this before.

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't say anything, Li Huaide took advantage of the situation and asked, "Comrade He Yuzhu, do you have any more questions? I have prepared enough paper and pen for you. Once you finish writing, you can leave tomorrow. What are you waiting for?"

Li Huaide couldn't help but be anxious. If he didn't strike while the iron was hot, what if Sha Zhu changed his mind?

"I, you..." Sha Zhu was speechless after being bullied by Li Huaide.

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't react for a long time, Li Huaide knew that the boy had reacted.

He immediately put away the smile on his face, slapped the table, stood up and said loudly: "Comrade He Yuzhu, what do you think our steel mill is? Is it a place where you can work if you want to, and don't have to work if you don't want to?

Who do you think you are? Why don’t you do it even if I tell you that your rank will be promoted?

Why don't you try one now? If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who want to do it.

You broke into someone else's house to move things, and you think you're right, right? The reason you weren't shot is that Section Chief Li didn't pursue the matter with you because you're neighbors.

Now I give you two principles. Either you go back to the kitchen, do your job well, and then write a profound teaching, and read it in front of all the workers in the factory tomorrow. Or, you sign this voluntary resignation letter and get out of here. "

Li Huaide cursed and spitted, almost spraying Sha Zhu's face. Of course, he did not forget to establish a good image of Li Polu as a tolerant and kind person. After all, his path to promotion is basically determined by Li Polu. Naturally, he would not let this thigh go.

But Shazhu just stood there, not daring to move.

He just wanted to use his cooking skills to threaten Li Huaide. As for not doing it? He is not a fool, why not do it.
