Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Office of Director Yang of the steel rolling mill.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu suddenly appearing before him, Director Yang said before they could speak: "You two should be here for the position of canteen monitor, right?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded immediately: "Director..."

"You said before..."

"As long as Zhuzi passes the ninth-level chef exam, he will be the canteen monitor..."

"I have seen Zhuzi's performance in the kitchen recently. He is not only less impulsive, but also very serious."

"I believe that after he becomes the canteen monitor, he will be able to help you better and make his own contribution to the development of the steel mill."

Director Yang has already developed several people in the kitchen, intending to ask them to help him find evidence that Deputy Director Li has embezzled money in the logistics system.

Led by Lin Tao, the monitor of the second canteen.

As a result, not only did they fail to complete the task, but they were also closely watched by Wang Dong.

After a few months, he even lost his position as squad leader of the second canteen and was transferred to the first canteen to serve as a team leader in name only.

Director Yang was very disappointed with him and had long wanted to replace him.

Although He Yuzhu in front of him had caused trouble several times on the battlefield due to his impulsiveness and had been punished.

But he is a good cook.

He is fully capable of passing the exam to become a level 8 chef, or even a level 7 chef.

In the kitchen, the better the cooking skills, the higher the status.

He Yuzhu has now passed the ninth-level chef exam and is qualified to be a kitchen team leader. Once he passes the eighth-level chef exam, he will be qualified to be a deputy kitchen director.

Once He Yuzhu holds a higher position in the logistics system, he will be exposed to more intensive activities, and the entire scheme of Deputy Director Li enriching himself in the logistics system may be exposed to him.

Compared with Lin Tao, who has not been promoted in several years, He Yuzhu, who may climb to a higher position in the logistics system, is obviously more valuable for training.

But he did not respond to He Yuzhu's words immediately.

Because being a cadre is different from being a chef who cooked in the kitchen.

Moreover, this cadre has to cooperate with him in investigating the evidence of Deputy Director Li's embezzlement in the logistics system, so his situation will definitely be even more difficult.

He must give He Yuzhu a good lesson, otherwise, given He Yuzhu's previous character, even if he became the kitchen team leader, it would not bring him any benefits, and might even cause him trouble again.

He stared at He Yuzhu and asked seriously, "Comrade He Yuzhu..."

"Are you sure you are capable of being the kitchen supervisor?"

"Don't let the position of class monitor be given to you and you can't sit down. That would be really embarrassing."

He Yuzhu wanted to say in his heart: "Isn't it just being a kitchen supervisor? What's the big deal?"

When the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered Yi Zhonghai's reminder just now, and then he said: "Please rest assured, Director..."

"Although I have never been a canteen monitor, I have served as a canteen monitor before, so I know what a monitor has to do."

"As long as you give me the nod, I will definitely be able to secure the position of canteen monitor."

"From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will never let you down..."

Director Yang looked at He Yuzhu in surprise.

I didn't expect that He Yuzhu, who was so unruly and looked down on everyone before, would actually say such words.

However, this sentence also made Director Yang have a much better impression of He Yuzhu.

Little did he know that what He Yuzhu had just said were all temporarily taught to him by Yi Zhonghai, and these were not what He Yuzhu really wanted to say.

The reason why he was eager to become a team leader was not because he wanted to work for Director Yang, but because he wanted to leave the canteen as soon as possible and no longer be controlled by others. He had been a coward in the kitchen for a year or two, which almost drove him crazy.

If he could become the canteen monitor, he would definitely take revenge on the kitchen helpers and apprentices who had humiliated him before, and then use his position as monitor to continue to enrich himself in the canteen and make it easier for Qin Huairu to get help.

However, Director Yang did not know He Yuzhu's true thoughts.

But he was very satisfied with He Yuzhu's answer just now. After thinking for a while, he made a decision: "I keep my word..."

"As long as you pass the ninth-level chef exam, you will be the squad leader..."

"You go back first. The factory leaders will have a meeting later. I will bring up this matter and try to get it settled this afternoon."

…………

Steel rolling mill conference room.

After the discussion of several important issues was over, Deputy Director Li was just about to put away his notebook when Director Yang, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly spoke.

"Comrades..."

"I have a small matter to discuss with you..."

"According to what I know, in this year's worker-level assessment, several kitchen assistants passed the assessment and became level 10 chefs at the steel mill..."

“Many chefs have also had their job levels upgraded.”

"There was a rule in the kitchen before: only talents who have obtained the ninth-level chef qualification are qualified to serve as the canteen supervisor in the kitchen."

"But because there were too few people in the kitchen who had passed the ninth-level chef exam, there were still two canteen squad leaders who were tenth-level chefs."

"This is obviously unfair to the chef who just passed the ninth-level chef exam."

"I suggest that the two level 10 chefs who serve as squad leaders be replaced as soon as possible with level 9 chefs."

"Comrade He Yuzhu in the back kitchen was an eighth-level chef in the steel mill two years ago. He was in charge of the small kitchen in the steel mill. Many of the comrades present here have eaten the small kitchen he cooked and should still have a lot of impressions of it."

"Although he made mistakes, this comrade corrected them as soon as he knew them."

"After the steel mill cancelled my punishment this year, I quickly passed the ninth-level chef assessment and became a ninth-level chef at the steel mill again."

"We know Comrade He Yuzhu inside and out. With his former status as an eighth-level chef, he is fully qualified to be a squad leader in the kitchen. Old Li, you are the deputy factory director in charge of logistics, what do you think?"

Deputy Director Li was very angry.

I didn't expect Director Yang to do this to me all of a sudden.

I had developed a few of my own people in the kitchen before, hoping to find evidence of my own illegal activities in logistics.

Under Wang Dong's manipulation, these disloyal squad leaders and chefs have been banished to the cold palace and can no longer stir up any trouble, let alone pose any threat to him.

As a result, Director Yang still did not give up and wanted to continue to place his own people in the kitchen.

The first subconscious reaction is to refuse.

But Director Yang's words just now sounded very reasonable, and he himself agreed to cancel the punishment on He Yuzhu.

Since the steel rolling mill no longer pursues the mistakes He Yuzhu made in the past, it will no longer work for me to use He Yuzhu's previous violation of discipline as a reason for refusal.

For a moment, he couldn't think of a good reason to refuse.

But this question must be answered.

Once he nodded, He Yuzhu's position as the canteen monitor in the kitchen would be a foregone conclusion, which would not only bring some danger to himself, but also bring some trouble to Wang Dong.

So nodding is definitely impossible. (End of this chapter)
