Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 92: Xiaojiaziqi
"Director Li? You're not here to ask me about Brother Lang, are you?"

"Also? Besides me, is there anyone else looking for you?"

"Director Yang, Director Yang just asked me about Brother Lang's situation and his preferences."

"Asking about preferences? How did you answer?"

"so I."

I'm afraid that the new deputy director of logistics has the same idea as Director Yang.

He Yuzhu, who was really afraid of getting into trouble, asked quickly.

"Director Yang, you wouldn't be the same..."

This is an insult to Li Huaide.

Although Li Huaide's main focus was to maintain a good relationship with Ximen Lang, in essence, he was not much better than Director Yang.

But Li Huaide is much more capable than Director Yang.

It didn't take much effort or hard work.

It was just a convenience of the position, and it was subtle and silent, and people had already quietly established a good relationship with Ximen Lang.

Why do I need to use such a low method to please him?
So, that was so disdainful that Li Huaide expressed his opinion at that time.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Brother Lang is my brother, and Bai Ling is my sister-in-law. How could I possibly do something crooked like this and ruin their relationship?!"

"But are you sure you didn't see it wrong? I'm telling you, I know Director Yang is a very decent person! Could it be that you're dissatisfied with Director Yang and are making this up?"

Inadvertently, he tested it again with words.

He Yuzhu immediately swore and cried out that it was a crime of injustice.

"Well, he's such a big shot, the factory director, and he just gave me a raise, and I turn around and spread rumors about him? Is that what a human being would do? I'm not that shameless!"

Halfway through his speech, He Yuzhu finally came to his senses.

"Well, I've figured it out. You two, every single one of you is a shrewd person. And me? Even if you sold me out, I'd probably still be helping you count the money!"

"Okay, if you can't afford to offend me, you can afford to avoid me. You can just take care of yourself, and I'll go do what I need to do!"

Seeing his funny look like a loser, Li Huaide couldn't help laughing out loud.

It wasn't difficult for He Yuzhu either.

Li Huaide said unhappily.

"Alright, alright. You're still a man, can't you handle being told a few words? Don't worry, I'm being honest. Even if this past matter is brought up later, it won't involve you. Are you relieved?"

"If that's what you say, then I'll accept your advice."

After persuading He Yuzhu who was about to leave to come back, Li Huaide immediately got into work mode and asked He Yuzhu questions.

"I heard you learned your craft at Fengze Garden. With your situation, you should have been promoted to the kitchen long ago. Why have you been cutting dumplings for over a year and are still getting paid as a kitchen helper? Didn't you tell your cafeteria director about your situation, so you've been buried until now?"

This is definitely the most untouchable pain in He Yuzhu's heart.

It is obvious that he has a legitimate master. Even if his family is not a family of culinary arts, he can at least be considered a descendant of a famous chef.

But because what He Daqing did was so inhumane, not only did it ruin their family's reputation, it also made him the laughing stock of the entire street.

He didn't even dare to contact his master and his fellow apprentices, for fear of not being able to hold his head up in front of them.

He was clearly quite capable, yet he was forced to work as a cutter in a small factory cafeteria for over a year. "Who can I complain to?"

Therefore, when he saw that Li Huaide, who was quite pleasing to his eye, asked him about this matter directly, He Yuzhu immediately started to complain.

"I did, I absolutely did! But when the director asked me who I learned my skills from, I couldn't answer. I was also embarrassed to use my master's name to hype myself up. The director and the others thought I was bragging!"

"Plus, I've contradicted our director before. When I was unhappy, I cursed a few times, and he happened to hear it. So, I've been cutting wood until now."

"It was a while ago when the chef fell ill and there was no one to take his place, so I volunteered to show off my skills and let everyone know about my craft. Otherwise, I would still be cutting the dough!"

This was such a tortuous and bizarre experience that Li Huaide didn't know what to say for a moment.

In the end, I can only give him an evaluation that he deserves it!

He really valued his talent, so it was rare that Li Huaide gave He Yuzhu a suggestion.

"I'm giving you this small suggestion purely out of respect for Brother Lang and out of respect for talent."

"While the bond between you two is still strong, hurry up and apologize to your master. Don't let a petty thing ruin the bond between you two."

"I"

"I don't want to hear what you're thinking. Anyway, that's all I have to say. Whether you listen or not is entirely up to you."

Just one sentence stopped He Yuzhu from making excuses.

Then, when you say that’s enough, that’s enough.

Li Huaide got straight to the point.

"Let's get down to business. I wouldn't have known about your situation, but now that I know about it, I have to do my job properly. I heard you just say Director Yang gave you a raise? How much is the increase?"

"It's just a normal junior chef's salary. They said they'll gradually raise it after the factory's unified assessment."

When I heard about such good craftsmanship, I gave them a little extra money.

Not to mention that you are still using him now, even if you didn't, even if you didn't ask Ximen Lang about this matter, you can't treat him like this, right?
Sigh silently in your heart.
"Our factory director has a petty air in his words and deeds, and is not worthy of being on the stage."

But his face didn't show any trace of it.

The proposal to promote He Yuzhu to an intermediate chef was directly rejected.

He didn't even mention that what he gave was definitely much more than what Director Yang gave. He just nodded and said, "It's all about maintaining unity among the cadres."

"Since Director Yang has given his opinion, let's do as he says. I'll designate him as a junior chef first, and then we can discuss his salary after he's been evaluated."

Having said that, he asked He Yuzhu to return to his post.

Then, Li Huaide sat alone in the office and began to think quietly.

That evening, after a busy day, Yi Zhonghai happily got off work.

At the dinner table, I thought about the gossip that had suddenly increased in the courtyard in the past two days.

Aunt Tan couldn't help but talk to Yi Zhonghai.

"Lao Yi, I heard that the deaf old lady almost didn't make it this time. Even if she did, she would have to stay in the hospital for at least a week."

"There's a lot of gossip going on about our family in the courtyard right now, saying all sorts of things. Do you think I should take some time to go and take a look?"
