Siheyuan: Rebirth of He Yuzhu, God of Cooking starts

"You just stand behind me, and you know these leaders."

He Yuzhu hesitated: "Director, this is not a good idea, right?"

"If I stand behind you, it would be like carrying a lantern into the toilet, obviously looking for trouble! How would so many superiors view it?" he joked.

After hearing this, Director Yang thought about it and agreed with his idea. "Okay, then go back to the team."

He Yuzhu returned to the third row. The second row was occupied by cadres of Li Huaide's level. In front of him were only the factory director, deputy factory director, and director Lou Zhenhua. Now he seemed to no longer care about worldly affairs and rarely showed up in the factory.

I guess he wanted to minimize his influence. If his superior hadn't come back to the factory today, I'm afraid he wouldn't be around.

"Brother Li, how about I cook a dish for you this afternoon?" He Yuzhu asked.

Li Huaide smiled without saying anything, with a subtle expression that made He Yuzhu understand what was going on.

A GAZ jeep was leading the way, followed closely by two army green trucks. Director Yang shouted, "They are coming! They are coming!"

The GAZ jeep slowly drove to the factory gate and stopped in front of the crowd. Director Yang enthusiastically opened the door and greeted them respectfully: "Warmly welcome all leaders to the steel rolling mill!"

Huang, a senior leader, looked calm, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. He said to Director Yang, "Xiao Yang, let everyone go and you can just take us around."

"Okay, boss, I understand!" Director Yang nodded and turned to the workers, saying, "Everyone can return to their posts!"

Once the factory manager said this, the employees once again missed the opportunity to get close to their superiors. The reason why I emphasize "again" is because this has happened before.

However, this time, no one expressed dissatisfaction with Director Yang's actions, because they knew the reality. At the grassroots level, the power of local officials often overrides that of direct managers. Most people left one after another, leaving only the top management and important personnel.

He Yuzhu was about to leave when the big boss called him. "Xiao He!"

"Oh, it's a big leader!" He Yuzhu responded.

The big boss smiled, which was rare. "I'm really looking forward to having your dishes cooked again today." Then he said, "Will there only be Sichuan dishes today?"

Director Yang explained: "Old leader, we have northern dishes and some preparations."

Hearing this, the leader nodded with satisfaction. "Old Fu, look, these young people are quite sensible!" He said to the strict man in a Zhongshan suit beside him.

The man called "Old Fu" smiled slightly, "I've heard that the cooking skills of this kitchen are good. I have to taste it today."

As they walked into the inner factory, they noticed guards lined up at the gate. The leader was obviously quite satisfied with this arrangement.

At this time, Li Huaide stepped forward and clarified for the guards: "They are all retired soldiers, introduced to the factory by the street office. They are of high quality, which has enhanced security and found new jobs for them."

The big boss patted Li Huaide on the shoulder approvingly: "Xiao Li, you did a great job."

Lao Fu teased his father-in-law: "Lao Huang, don't praise him so easily. This is as it should be."

Then they talked about Li Huaide's sense of responsibility: "Haha, Lao Fu, it seems that you are asking too much of your son-in-law!"

These conversations made He Yuzhu look at Li Huaide in surprise: it turned out that his father-in-law was so capable, no wonder he could be at the helm of a core position like the steel mill. The power behind him that everyone knew was the reason why he stood firm. Although Director Yang had fought against him, he was obviously no match in comparison. A thoughtful person with a strong background, if he acted cautiously, would hardly be easily defeated.

Although Director Yang may only have a close relationship with this big leader, compared with Li Huaide who regarded him as half his own son, he naturally had a different way of gaining support and trust. When the leader waved his hand, the unarmed guards came over one after another to wait for orders.

"Distribute the equipment to them." The order was given.

"Xiao Li, take the people to receive it." Director Yang instructed. Li Huaide and He Yuzhu, together with the security personnel, began to move the guns, a large number of guns and a mortar behind them. All this undoubtedly reflects the high attention and expectations of the upper management for the steel mill.

Indeed, the steel mill is a key department and no amount of attention can be given to it.

He Yuzhu ordered: "Move them all into the armory for storage."

As the weapons were put into storage, the leaders of both sides signed the handover form to confirm the completion of the transfer.

Everyone in the security department was issued a weapon, and they couldn't help but feel happy holding their beloved equipment.

He Yuzhu reminded: "Don't mess with these weapons if you have nothing to do. If you make a mistake and cause an error in operation, not only me, but no one else will be held responsible!"

Song Wenkang responded: "Don't worry, Deputy Section Chief He, I will take care of the order!"

Zhao Jianshe suggested: "I think it is unnecessary to use weapons during the day. It is better to assign them to the personnel on duty during the night shift."

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement: "This is a good suggestion!"

"That's it. Don't wipe it too much, or it will wear off the paint."

After the weapons were put into the cabinet, He Yuzhu rejoined the ranks of leaders.

When he passed the kitchen he did not enter, he just passed by.

Factory Director Yang introduced: "Dear everyone, in order to solve the workers' catering problem, our second canteen has been completed."

“In addition, some new staff were recruited to run the operation.”

Factory Director Yang praised: "Very good, nothing is more important than food. You have done a great job in solving the workers' catering needs!"

After getting recognition, everyone continued to go deeper into the factory.

Li Huaide led the group to a construction site that was still under construction: "Leaders, let me introduce this place to you."

Pointing to the construction site, he introduced: "This is a plan to build a bathhouse to provide a place for workers to bathe. There are bathrooms and hot water rooms next to it. Workers can get hot water here at any time."

The superiors expressed their appreciation: “This is very thoughtful and comprehensive.”

As for the logistics director Li Huaide, I asked: "You are doing a good job as the logistics director, but what are your considerations on how to charge workers for taking a shower?"

When Li Huaide wanted to further elaborate, the factory director Yang took over the conversation:

"Leader, we plan to adopt the bath ticket system and water ticket system for charging, but the price will only be the cost price to ensure fairness."

Mr. Fu then said: "Well, as long as the cost price is taken as the principle, this is an acceptable idea."

Then, the factory manager Yang pointed to a blank area and said, "We are going to transform it into a sports field and set up some activities so that the workers can have some fun in their spare time!"

Mr. Fu specifically mentioned: "Li Huaide, this is for you as the logistics director to handle, you must do it to perfection."
