Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

"Director, is it okay to do this?" Sha Zhu confirmed again when handing the report to Li Huaide.

Li Huaide signed his name on the bicycle application report and said, "You are too honest. Those who show movies in our factory use the bicycles in the factory as their own. They even purchase them. Do you think they bought their own bicycles? They are all from the factory. As long as they are not lost, they can ride them at will. This also makes it convenient for comrades in need to carry out their work."

Sha Zhu thought that Xu Damao was indeed riding the factory's bicycle every day to carry around a group of people, just as Li Huaide had said.

Li Huaide pulled Shazhu and said, "Let's go, don't think about it, think about it tomorrow when you ride the new bike. Let's go have a drink, it's my treat today."

"No, you've solved such a big problem for me, how can I let you treat me? Let's go to the second canteen. I'll make you two delicious dishes."

"Okay, I haven't eaten your cooking for several days, and I really miss it." Li Huaide took the opportunity and went to the second cafeteria with Sha Zhu, chatting and laughing.

Secretary Chen saw what was going on between the two of them, and of course Secretary Yang knew about it. Secretary Yang was a little unhappy. Why did Sha Zhu, whom he had chosen and was going to train him well, turn to someone else? Secretary Yang thought he needed to communicate with this comrade who had just entered the officialdom.

The next day, Sha Zhu was called to Secretary Yang's office. Secretary Yang looked at Sha Zhu standing in front of his desk and asked directly, "What did you do yesterday afternoon?"

Sha Zhu trusted Secretary Yang. After all, he supported the chef service team he founded and helped him become a formal cadre. So Sha Zhu did not hide anything and told him that Li Huaide's father-in-law wanted to invite people to dinner and asked him to find Chef Sun to cook. Although Li Huaide knocked Secretary Yang down in the dream and Secretary Yang returned to his original position, in reality the two did not have any disputes, so there should not be such a conflict.

Secretary Yang certainly knew who Li Huaide's father-in-law was, and could probably guess who he was going to invite. There were conflicts between those people and their faction, and they had different views on the choice of route.

He looked at Sha Zhu and knew that the other party didn't understand these things, but he didn't want to see the person he liked and trained stand on the other side. The main reason was that Sha Zhu's chef service team did a very good job and was very capable in training chefs, which could help arrange many positions in the factory, so Secretary Yang decided to explain the current situation to Sha Zhu.

"Xiao He, do you know who Li Huaide's father-in-law is?"

Shazhu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Then do you know what our former Secretary Zhang is doing now?"

Sha Zhu still shook his head.

"Secretary Zhang is now Deputy Director General Zhang. Li Huaide's father-in-law is two levels higher than him and is currently a deputy minister."

Sha Zhu didn't understand why Secretary Yang suddenly said this to him, so he nodded first and then shook his head.

"I don't know why I'm telling you this."

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, you told me about these things in the sky, but I can't reach them."

"This is not from heaven. Aren't you going to cook at Li Huaide's father-in-law's house in a few days?"

"That's different. I just go into the kitchen and don't talk to anyone. After cooking, if the guests are done eating and want to see my master and toast him a glass of wine, then we can do that. If they don't want to, we don't mind. We just won't come to visit again in the future."

"It's that simple?"

"What's so complicated about that? We are just cooks and waiters. That's what my master taught me. Cook with all your heart and make the diners satisfied. Don't listen to or ask anything else."

Secretary Yang thought: Am I overthinking? He continued, "Xiao He, what do you think of Li Huaide?"

This sentence made Sha Zhu alert. He was not the same carefree person as before. He had been a cadre for almost a year. The leader's question must have a deep meaning. He just mentioned Li Huaide's father-in-law, and now asked him about his impression of Li Huaide. Adding the situation in the dream, Sha Zhu understood that Secretary Yang should not get along well with Li Huaide. How should he answer? If he said Li Huaide was good, Secretary Yang would not make things difficult for him, but he would not be close to him in the future. If he was not good, he had just helped him with food and drink yesterday, but today he said bad things about him in front of Secretary Yang. Wouldn't it be more like a mean person?

Sha Zhu frowned, put together his words in his mind, and said slowly: "Director Li is very smart and considerate of his subordinates. I don't know anything else. We haven't had much contact."

"What do you mean by being considerate to your subordinates?"

Sha Zhu told Secretary Yang that he wanted to buy a bicycle but was short of a bicycle ticket. Secretary Yang said, "He is good at using public property to do favors."

Hearing the sarcasm in Secretary Yang's words, Sha Zhu quickly said, "Leader, you mean there is something wrong with this matter, then I won't go to pick up the car, I'd better find a ticket to buy a car."

Secretary Yang waved his hand to reassure Sha Zhu, saying, "He said you need a car to inspect the chefs' performance. This is reasonable and in line with regulations, so I said he would do you a favor. He doesn't have to pay, and he doesn't have to take any responsibility, and he can benefit you. He is indeed smart, you are right about this."

Sha Zhu didn't respond, he just moved the corners of his mouth.

Secretary Yang was very satisfied with Sha Zhu's performance. He did not praise him for personal gain, nor did he belittle him because he saw that he had a conflict with him. Secretary Yang thought for a while and said, "Xiao He, I will take you to a place in a few days. Can you cook a meal for one of my old leaders?"

"That's no problem. I'm a cook and cooking is my job." Sha Zhu agreed readily.

"Okay, then go back and wait for my news. Once I've made the contact, I'll ask you to come over. Be sure to behave well then."

After Sha Zhu left, Secretary Yang picked up the phone and dialed it. After the other party answered, he asked, "Leader, how is your health recently? Do you have time to meet the young man I mentioned to you last time?"

"Well, well, okay, okay, then I'll take him there the day after tomorrow."

At night, when Shazhu pushed his new bicycle into the yard, the third uncle guarding the door saw it and asked with envy: "Shazhu, did you buy this new one?"

“It’s new, but I didn’t buy it.”

"You are riding a bike that you didn't buy, but someone else bought it. You are fooling me, your uncle."

"I really didn't buy it. The factory gave it to me because my job requires it." Sha Zhu told the truth.

This made the third uncle even more envious. He had heard that the projectionist was given a bicycle, but he had never heard that the cook was given a bicycle. No, it seemed that Shazhu was not a cook now, but a canteen director. However, the canteen director still worked in the factory. Could it be that the steel mill was too big, there were too many canteens and they were too far away, so the director was given a car? This benefit was too good to be true.
