The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 135 The old factory manager trusts and wins attention
At mealtime, the factory director led the quality inspectors into the cafeteria. They could smell the delicious food and knew it was delicious just by looking at the color.

When he put it in his mouth, the factory manager's eyes lit up.

The spicy and sour potato shreds are crisp and refreshing, the spicy tofu is coated with soup and tastes sweet, and the braised pork is so delicious that you can’t stop eating it. It’s so juicy that you can’t wait to have a few more bites.

This is a great skill!
After eating, the quality inspector praised the food, saying, "You are a good chef! The ingredients are very tasty."

"The workers in your factory are really enjoying such a good meal. I'll have to come and have a meal when I have the chance."

The factory manager felt very happy after hearing this. Who doesn't like to be praised? This shows that only good people are selected when selecting workers.

"If you want to eat comfortably, let's eat two more meals."

The quality inspector laughed after hearing this and said, "I'll come twice more. I'm sure your heart will beat fast!"

They are quality inspectors, who wants to see them often? They are always on the alert.

"It's delicious, so just taste it. Otherwise, you might get addicted to it and won't want to leave!"

The factory manager smiled again, and today was going smoothly after all.

After sending the people away, the factory director suddenly had an idea and turned to the kitchen. He saw a father and son eating. The two were chatting enthusiastically and had no idea that they were seen by others.

I hid aside secretly and listened.

Chen Huaiyang was unaware of this and said to his father, "I don't have anything to do at home, so I'll come over and give you a hand!"

Father Chen didn't even think about it and shook his head to refuse, "No need, you are exhausted enough, I can do it alone."

Chen Huaiyang looked helpless, "Why are you so busy? You came here before daybreak! You've been busy with all this work by yourself, and look at how thin you are now?"

"You're doing the work of two people all by yourself. You can't handle it!"

Father Chen sighed, "What can I do? If I mess up the job, I'll be left with nothing!"

"Your mother is just a temporary worker, and I don't know how long she can work. If I lose my job, I will starve to death at home!"

"Don't worry about me. I know my body. There will be no problem. You can take a good rest at home when you have time. Working in the countryside is not easy. You look stronger, but a little darker."

"Go back quickly after you finish eating. We are only getting paid, there is no reason for us to send two people in."

Chen Huaiyang was depressed. "You work so hard, but the credit goes to others. They are smarter. They are standing at the food window, complaining about how tired they are!"

If he hadn't had some reservations, he would have to tear off the person's face.

But he can't expect to get away with it. If he finds evidence, he will suffer the consequences.

Father Chen shook his head. "Don't worry about him. Old Wang is just like that. We can't beat him. There's no need to confront him."

"I'll clean up here and we can go back."

Chen Huaiyang took the lunch box from him and cleaned it, "You sit down, I'll do it."

Chen Huaiyang packed up his things and the two left.

I had no idea that the factory manager had come and left.

Just as he said, Chen Huaiyang really came as he said. The change in the taste of the food was welcomed by the workers and their enthusiasm increased.

At this time, the factory director's old father also came to the factory. As a retired factory director, he would come for a stroll every now and then.

At mealtime, he went to the canteen as he was familiar with the place. When he ate the delicious pig's trotters, his eyes sparkled and he wanted to order another portion. He praised the factory director beside him, "Son, when you were in office, you paid more attention to the workers' meals than I did! Your cooking skills are great!"

"See how excited the workers are?"

"Let's have a dinner together in a few days. You can ask the chef to come to my house and prepare a feast for me! Let those old guys see what the specifications of the live food in our factory are like."

The older generation loves to compare. They want to compare even the smallest things and will be happy if they can gain a little face.

Factory Director: "..."

"Dad, isn't this embarrassing? How can I find the time?"

The old factory manager looked unhappy and said, "There have always been two chefs in the kitchen. Just find someone to take over and let this chef go!"

"You are already a factory manager, so why are you not smooth enough in doing things? People need to learn to integrate and understand, so that they can get things done properly."

"Anyway, I have reserved this cook, so you figure out a way to get this done for me."

The factory director frowned, feeling helpless about the man in front of him who was both his father and the old factory director.

Thinking of the father and son in the kitchen, there are some troubles hidden here, and I have no choice but to help.

"Go back and have a rest after you've eaten. Don't hang around here. I'll take care of this for you."

The factory director's father nodded and said, "Don't fool me. If the taste is different, I will cause trouble for you."

"You can't lose face for me at this critical moment."

The factory manager looked helpless and said, "I can't fool you." It's really tiring. How can it be so difficult to gain the trust of my old father when he is managing such a big factory?
When Chen Huaiyang knew that he was going to the factory director's house for a banquet, he knew that his chance had come.

No matter how capable a manager is, he can never be better than the factory director!
I don't ask for any reward from my father, but I can't let myself be fooled.

Lao Wang does nothing all day but still gets paid. How can it be that good? If you don’t want to work, just go home and lie down!
Father Chen looked worried, but Chen Huaiyang was relaxed and eager to try. "Dad, don't worry. My cooking skills are fine."

"I'm just a cook, and I won't talk nonsense. You can be at ease and don't worry about me."

How could Chen's father not be worried? He always felt that something was going to happen. His son was threatening him now! It would not be surprising if he really did something.

"Don't talk nonsense in front of the factory manager! We are just small workers, we can't jump around casually. If we say something wrong, we will get into trouble."

Chen Huaiyang made repeated assurances, passing through Chen's father's anxious and uneasy eyes.

Sitting in the factory director's luxurious car, Chen Huaiyang looked calm. He didn't look flustered at all, and he didn't touch things around randomly, acting like an inexperienced person.

The factory director treated him differently.

"Comrade Xiao Chen is very considerate. He comes home to help his father."

Chen Huaiyang answered modestly, "Of course I should. I'm idle at home anyway, so it's good to lend a hand."

He didn't say anything about Lao Wang.

If I say it now, it will not achieve any effect and will make the factory manager unhappy.

When it comes to assessing the situation, Chen Huaiyang is flawless and cannot be criticized.

The factory director had a different opinion of this comrade in his heart, and thought that he would be eager to complain!

Since he doesn’t say anything, just assume he doesn’t know!
It’s better to have less trouble than more. Who wants to deal with trouble?
