Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

"what?!"

Director Yang and Li Huaide spoke in unison and stood up at the same time, looking at Hou Liqiu in surprise.

However, although both of them were surprised, their expressions were somewhat different.

Director Yang is a surprise, an unexpected surprise that is revealed when one seems to have reached the end of his rope.

Li Huaide was shocked. He dared not imagine it, and was unwilling to believe it.

Hou Likui repeated excitedly: "Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, Yang Chong said he can get food, so we don't have to worry about food for the New Year's dinner!"

Director Yang quickly asked, "How much? How much did he say he could get? What kind of noodles?"

Liu Laoben, who was standing behind him, said quickly, "He said it was flour and rice, and he could probably get three to five tons."

"Flour? And rice? Three or five tons?!" Director Yang slammed the table excitedly, "Great! These three or five tons are all fine grains. That solves a big problem. Even if we don't have to exchange them for coarse grains, it's enough for the workers to have free meals at work."

After saying that, he did not forget to look at Li Huaide: "What do you think, Deputy Director Li?"

Li Huaide's face was filled with astonishment. He still couldn't believe it: "Are you sure? Can he really get three to five tons of fine grain? This matter must be confirmed. Don't take it lightly."

Hou Likui said: "I don't think he would brag, because since I have known him, I have never seen him break a promise. He has been in the factory for less than half a month, and he has already supplied five wild boars to our factory cafeteria. This is more than the three wild boars per month he promised me."

He added: "In addition, the wild rabbits, pheasants, and fish he delivers every day are definitely more than enough to complete the task."

"I'm also optimistic about this young man. He's capable of doing practical things and is not the type to brag." Director Yang said loudly with approval on his face, "Well, ask him when the grain can be brought back. You will be responsible for tracking it and make sure it is implemented!"

"Please rest assured, Director. I will make sure he implements it." Hou Likui made a loud promise, then smiled and said, "The two directors, Yang Chong has solved such a big problem for the factory. Shouldn't the factory consider rewarding him?"

"Reward, definitely reward!" Director Yang said excitedly, "Well, I suggest raising his salary level by one level, and giving him an extra bonus of 300 yuan!"

Li Huaide was stunned and said quickly: "Director Yang, didn't we just raise his salary by one level? If we raise it again, will others have any objections? Also, isn't this 300 yuan bonus too high?"

"High? I don't think it's high at all!" Director Yang said disdainfully, "With his contribution to the steel mill, I don't think it's too much to say 300, even 3,000 is not too much! Also, he just got a raise and can't get another one? I just want all the employees in the factory to know that as long as they work hard, contribute to the factory, and solve problems, the factory will promote talents regardless of their background!"

At this point, he remembered something: "Oh, right? I think we should propose to raise his administrative level, starting with deputy section chief!"

Li Huaide was stunned: "This, Director Yang, this is not in accordance with the procedure..."

Director Yang said, "I know this is against the procedure, so I plan to ask the Ministry for approval for his special contribution. I believe the Ministry will not object."

Li Huaide stopped talking, but was silently repeating the name in his heart.

Why is it this guy again, ruining my plans again and again!

So the next day, Yang Chong's truck drove into the steel mill again. When it arrived at the canteen, what was unloaded was no longer fat pigs, rabbits and pheasants, but bags of snow-white flour and rice.

The staff of the canteen were all grinning, and the workers who saw the scene were running around telling each other: "Did you know? The canteen just brought back a full truck of flour and rice. It looks like it weighs several tons."

"Are you kidding me? Flour? We can't even get cornmeal right now, so a truckload of flour? You're dreaming."

"What a dream! We saw it with our own eyes. The people in the cafeteria were unloading the truck. There was not only flour but also rice. Director Wang said that Yang Cai bought it and said it was for the factory banquet during the New Year. He also said that everyone was lucky this year because the banquet was free and all of it was white flour buns and rice, without even a bit of corn flour."

"Is this true? Why do I find this so unbelievable? We can't even eat steamed bread on normal days, but we are allowed to eat big white steamed buns during the Chinese New Year?"

"Don't believe it? Then go to the cafeteria and you'll know. Anyway, I'm waiting to eat white flour buns in the factory during the Chinese New Year this year."

"That sounds so mysterious. I want to go to the cafeteria to take a look too."

"Wait for me, I'll go take a look too!"

After a while, a large number of workshop workers gathered at the cafeteria. They all heard the news and came here to verify its authenticity.

And when they saw with their own eyes the bags of flour and rice piled up like mountains in the cafeteria, they were finally convinced that what they had heard was not a rumor but a real thing.

"Director Wang, are these flour and rice really used for the New Year banquet? Where did you get so much flour from?"

"Yes, do we really have to eat white steamed buns instead of steamed corn bread during the Chinese New Year?"

Wang Haibo's big face was as bright as a flower: "Of course it's true. Director Yang said that this year we will have big white steamed buns and big slices of meat for the New Year. He also said that he will have three free meals so that everyone can have a great New Year!"

"Director Wang, did you say that or did the factory director? How much food would it take to just eat the big white steamed buns? There are tens of thousands of people in our factory, and you're giving us three free meals? You must be kidding me!"

"Yes, that would require a lot of food. Don't just brag about it, or you won't be able to deliver when the time comes!"

Wang Haibo said disdainfully, "Boasting? There's so much food here, and you say I'm bragging? And Director Yang also said that there will be more than just this truckload of food coming back in the future. By then, won't the dozen tons of flour and rice piled here be enough for you to eat? Are you born in the Year of the Pig?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and their laughter was full of excitement.

At this time, someone shouted: "Director Yang is here, let's ask Director Yang and we will know everything."

Yes, Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, Hou Liqiu, Liu Laoben and other middle-level cadres also came over.

Seeing so many excited workers gathered here, Director Yang was also very excited. He jumped onto a table and pressed it down with his hands, and the noisy crowd immediately quieted down.

Director Yang said excitedly: "As you can see, in order to let everyone have a satisfactory New Year, the factory has found a way to buy back a batch of food, all of which are flour and rice, all fine grains. This truck is just the vanguard, and there will be several more trucks to follow."

"Director Wang is right. These fine grains will not be exchanged for coarse grains. They will all be used directly to prepare for the free Spring Festival banquet at the factory. At the same time, the supply of pork is guaranteed. When the time comes, everyone can eat big white steamed buns, big rice, and big slices of meat. In a word, as long as everyone can eat, the factory can afford it!"

"However, there is one last thing everyone should remember. These flour and rice were purchased by our factory through special channels. So in order to prevent other factories from getting jealous and coming to share our food, everyone should learn to keep it secret, otherwise our food will be taken away by other factories."

"Can you do this?!"

"can!"
