Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 108 The Rolling Mill!
"Aiguo! Let's go! At noon, let's go to the small cafeteria of the rolling mill for dinner." Wu Aiguo walked from the trade union office to the procurement department. Li Xiangdong immediately walked into the office from the outside and said to Wu Aiguo.

Hearing Li Xiangdong's words, Wu Aiguo had an unexpected expression on his face, and asked curiously: "Section Chief Li! It's noon, why don't you go to the rolling mill for dinner?"

Li Xiangdong heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry and replied with a smile: "Aiguo! Yesterday's batch of coal helped my cousin solve his urgent need. He wanted to thank you and set up a table in the canteen of the steel rolling mill. , please go over to eat."

After hearing Li Xiangdong's introduction, Wu Aiguo understood the reason, and said to Li Xiangdong with a smile: "Section Chief Li! I was just thinking about what to eat at noon. I didn't expect that I just fell asleep. Someone Pass the pillow!”

When Li Xiangdong heard Wu Aiguo's words, he smiled and ordered Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! Huaide has sent a car to pick us up. Please pack up quickly. When the car arrives, we will set off."

About twenty minutes later, Wu Aiguo and Li Xiangdong headed towards the rolling mill in the car sent by the rolling mill.

At around eleven o'clock at noon, the jeep stopped at the entrance of the small cafeteria of the rolling mill. Li Huaide saw Li Xiangdong and Wu Aiguo, and immediately went forward to greet them very enthusiastically, saying, "Section Chief Li! ! Section Chief Wu! Welcome both of you to our steel rolling mill."

When Li Xiangdong heard Li Huaide's words, he stretched out his hand to shake hands with Li Huaide and said with a smile: "Director Li! I heard a long time ago that there was a cook named Shazhu in our factory, and his cooking was very authentic. Today I finally have the opportunity to taste Sha Zhu's craft."

When Li Huaide heard Li Xiangdong's words, he shook hands with Wu Aiguo first, and introduced with a smile: "Chief Li! Although it hasn't been long since I was transferred to the steel rolling mill, this idiot's cooking skills are absolutely unparalleled. I guarantee you will eat After that, it’s a worthwhile trip!”

When Wu Aiguo heard Li Huaide's answer, he thought of Sha Zhu's cooking skills and said with a smile: "Section Chief Li! Director Li! Speaking of Sha Zhu's cooking skills, I'm afraid I have the most say, because Sha Zhu lives with me. In a courtyard, when we have nothing to do, we will have a drink together."

When Li Huaide heard the situation introduced by Wu Aiguo, a shocked expression appeared on his face, and he asked Wu Aiguo curiously: "Chief Wu! Do you also live in the family home of our steel rolling mill?"

Wu Aiguo heard Li Huaide's inquiry, smiled and nodded, and replied: "Director Li! My father's name is Wu Pingshan, and he is a fifth-level welder in the steel rolling mill."

When Li Huaide learned that Wu Aiguo's father turned out to be a welder in the rolling mill, his face showed surprise again, and he smiled and told the secretary standing beside him: "Xiao Zhang! Go to the welder's workshop quickly, Invite Master Wu to come to the small cafeteria for dinner."

Secretary Xiao Zhang heard Li Huaide's instructions and quickly ran towards the workshop.

Li Huaide watched the secretary running towards the workshop, smiled and greeted Li Xiangdong and Wu Aiguo: "Section Chief Li! Section Chief Wu! Please come in quickly!"

Just as Wu Aiguo and others were preparing to enter the canteen, a car stopped behind them.

Guo Ruiming pushed open the car door, got out of the jeep, and said to Li Xiangdong and the others with a happy face: "It's always early, so it's better to come by coincidence. It seems that I arrived at the right time."

When Li Xiangdong talked to Li Huaide on the phone in the morning, he told Li Huaide that Guo Ruiming wanted to come for dinner.

When Li Huaide saw Guo Ruiming's arrival, he immediately greeted Guo Ruiming warmly: "Director Guo, welcome to our steel rolling mill."

Guo Ruiming heard Li Huaide's welcome, stretched out his hand to shake Li Huaide's hand, and said with a smile: "Director Li! I heard that the cook in your steel rolling mill has made a good dish, and I came here today to have a taste."

Li Xiangdong on the side heard Guo Ruiming's words, smiled and said to Guo Ruiming: "Old Guo! We just haven't seen each other for a while, how did you lose so much weight?"

After hearing Li Xiangdong's inquiry, Guo Ruiming thought of the difficulties encountered at the coal yard and said to Li Xiangdong: "Old Li! The reason why I lost so much weight is entirely due to too much work pressure."

Hearing Guo Ruiming's answer, Li Xiangdong smiled and introduced to Guo Ruiming: "Old Guo! Let me introduce you. This is Comrade Wu Aiguo, the deputy chief of the procurement department of our supply and marketing agency!"

Li Xiangdong introduced it here, and then introduced to Wu Aiguo: "Patriotic! Let me introduce you, this is the deputy director of our Kyoto Coal Field, Comrade Guo Ruiming!"

Guo Ruiming will come to the rolling mill today, just for Wu Aiguo. After hearing Li Xiangdong's introduction, he said to Wu Aiguo enthusiastically, "Section Chief Wu! It's a pleasure to meet you. Although we are meeting for the first time, But I have heard of your name for a long time!"

When Wu Aiguo heard Guo Ruiming's words and saw Guo Ruiming's enthusiastic attitude, Wu Aiguo had a vague feeling that Guo Ruiming would go to the steel rolling mill to eat, and it should be for him.

Facing Guo Ruiming's greetings, Wu Aiguo shook hands with the other person very politely and said politely: "Director Guo! I'm glad to meet you."

After Li Huaide saw Wu Aiguo exchanging greetings with Guo Ruiming, he immediately greeted everyone enthusiastically: "Section Chief Wu! Director Guo, let's not stand here. Come in quickly!"

Just as Li Huaide was leading everyone towards the small canteen, Wu Pingshan, who had been busy all morning, took his lunch box and prepared to go to the canteen with several co-workers to get food.

"Master Wu! Director Li of our logistics department! Please go to the small cafeteria for dinner." Secretary Zhang soon came to the welder's workshop. Indicate your intention.

When Wu Pingshan and his fellow workers heard Secretary Zhang's words, they all showed puzzled and shocked expressions on their faces.

Wu Pingshan asked Secretary Zhang with a puzzled expression: "Director Zhang! I don't know Director Li well. Why would he ask me to eat in the small cafeteria?"

Secretary Zhang heard Wu Pingshan's inquiry and introduced with a smile: "Master Wu! Director Li invited Section Chief Li and Section Chief Wu of Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative to have dinner at noon today. Let me invite you to have dinner together."

When Wu Pingshan heard the situation introduced by Secretary Zhang, he immediately guessed that Section Chief Wu, whom Secretary Zhang was talking about, should be Wu Aiguo, the second eldest child in his family.

What puzzled Wu Pingshan was that Director Li had just been transferred to the steel rolling mill, and Wu Aiguo had just started working. How could Director Li invite Wu Aiguo to dinner?
With this doubtful mood, Wu Pingshan smiled and said to several workers: "Old Zhao! Old Song! You go to the canteen to eat first, and I will go to the small canteen to take a look."
