Siheyuan: Liu Guangtian's happy life

After handling Liu Guangtian's grandfather's funeral, he returned to the factory to work as usual. However, Liu Haizhong was still a little depressed after returning home.

But after being instigated by Liu Guangtian, the little ones in the family rushed to Liu Haizhong one after another. He wanted to feel sad for a while, but the little ones did not give him the chance.

The little ones have been so carried away by the sweet words these days that they almost forgot who they are. Daddy is dead, so what? It’s no big deal. They are not as cute and fun as their grandchildren.

Seeing that his father was fine, Liu Guangtian didn't care about it anymore.

On the 1970th day of the first lunar month in , the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill organized a meeting. This was the first meeting of the new year. The organizer was naturally Li Huaide, and the participants were cadres at the department level and above in the factory.

Li Huaide: "Everyone, last year, we successfully completed the task assigned by the superiors. Quack, quack."

Clap, clap, clap! Everyone applauded with happy looks on their faces. They were also happy that they could successfully complete the task assigned by their superiors.

Only Liu Guangtian didn't smile. Why? Was it enough to complete the task successfully? Of course not.

You should complete the tasks assigned above satisfactorily except for special circumstances. However, if no special circumstances occur, you cannot complete them satisfactorily but must exceed them.

Only in this way can you get praise in front of your leaders and have a chance of promotion. This is called political achievement. Otherwise, why are you in the officialdom, especially in an officialdom like the Ministry of Industry?

You see, Li Huaide immediately waved his hand to signal for silence.

Li Huaide: "Comrades, our superiors asked us to complete the task according to the quota. Are we just going to hand in the answer sheet like this?"

"Several factories in the capital have exceeded their targets by an unknown amount. When I went to meetings, they were praised countless times. I was very envious and wanted to be praised by the leaders, too."

"But our Red Star Steel Mill is not outstanding, it is just ordinary. Comrades, this will not work."

"I won't talk about what happened in the past, but we must exceed this year's task targets and do well. I also want the leaders to praise our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill at the end of the year."

"How about it? Do you have the confidence to do it well?"

The conference room suddenly fell silent. No one spoke, but everyone was cursing in their hearts, "Damn it, you speak better than singing, and you make us run around just with one sentence from you."

Although it is the workers who do the work, once the tasks are assigned in the factory, they are the ones who do the basic work. They also have to appease the workers' emotions. After all, they have to work overtime and they will be emotional.

Li Huaide's face was a little dark at this time, because no one responded to him. This was really embarrassing for him!

At this moment, Liu Guangtian spoke: "Director Li is absolutely right. We must not only complete the task successfully, but also exceed expectations! I am very confident about this!" His voice was sonorous and powerful, and his eyes were firm.

Li Huaide smiled with satisfaction after hearing this. He thought that his brothers were really reliable and always stood up to support him at critical moments!

However, the others present didn't think so. They cursed in their hearts: "Fuck you! Liu Guangtian, you are so inhumane! There are only a few people in your technical department, and you don't have to directly participate in the actual production tasks of the factory, so of course you can talk without any worries! So you can torture us poor people as much as you want?"

Although everyone was dissatisfied, they could only secretly complain in their hearts, and had to agree: "Yes, yes, yes, we all have confidence and will ensure that we complete the task!" The scene seemed a little ridiculous for a moment.

Li Huaide laughed: "Hahahaha then it's settled. I hope you won't complain when the tasks are assigned!"

"We must carry forward the spirit of the older generation who were not afraid of hardship or fatigue. This must be done well, and we must not let the workers get emotional!"

"If anyone causes trouble to me at that time, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Li Huaide said his last sentence with a slightly gloomy tone.

Liu Guangtian stroked his chin and thought: "If you want people to work overtime, they must first eat well! Otherwise, who would be willing to do it if they don't have the energy! And the workers' emotions must also be appeased!"

“Although the workers now have a strong sense of collective honor, they can’t mess around, otherwise something bad will happen!”

So Liu Guangtian said: "Director, I think if we want the workers to work overtime willingly, we must do a good job in food, otherwise it will be a big problem if they can't keep up with the physical strength!"

Li Huaide and others nodded, saying that was right!

Li Huaide: "Don't worry about that. I can take care of it. I'll make sure the workers have enough oil and water! Is there anything else Guangtian wants to add?"

Liu Guangtian smiled and said, "Director, I think it would be better if we organize an activity to recall the bitter past and think of the sweet past, and also hold a meal to recall the bitter past, and our leaders can also personally go out to stimulate the workers' emotions, is that okay?"

Li Huaide slapped his thigh and laughed, "Director Liu is right, let's do it!"

Of course, the others had no objection, they did want to do it! But there was Li Huaide and Liu Guangtian.

In the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, the former is equivalent to the secretary, and the latter is equivalent to the factory director. They are so powerful that they will not tolerate any refusal!

Although Liu Guangtian doesn't care about things, no one dares to offend him. Everything in the factory is transparent!

Li Huaide asked: "What about the bitter rice?"

Liu Guangtian: "It's simple. The bitter rice is made of coarse grains. Isn't Shazhu a great chef? He is quite famous in the city. Why don't we just give it to him? Even if the ingredients are not that good, we have to let him make something delicious!"

"If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you do not do well, you will be punished!"

"Hahaha! It seems Director Liu is very optimistic about He Yuzhu! Okay, let him do this. Three days, give him three days to figure out what dish to cook! Then promote it throughout the factory!"

Xu Damao, Deputy Director Xu!

Li Huaide called Xu Damao's name!

"Director, what do you want to do?" Xu Damao replied!

"You and He Yuzhu are neighbors in the same courtyard. You should pass the matter of the Yikushitian Rice to him!" said Li Huaide.

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"

Outside the back door of the cafeteria at noon, Xu Damao, who had already finished lunch, pulled Sha Zhu to smoke, and told Sha Zhu the task that Li Huaide assigned to him!

Sha Zhu was very surprised after hearing this: "What? You want me to do this in broad daylight? Oh my god, why did I take such a job?"

"You said that good ingredients can make good dishes, but you're asking me to cook with coarse grains, wild vegetables and rotten sweet potatoes? Isn't this embarrassing?"

Shazhu felt a little at a loss as to where to start. Wouldn't this make things difficult for the cook?

Xu Damao laughed cheerfully and said, "I'm telling you, Shazhu, I praised your cooking skills in front of all the factory leaders!"

"If you do a good job, you'll be rewarded. If you mess up, you'll be punished!"

Sha Zhu had a bitter face, puffing smoke, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Xu Damao continued, "I'm not asking you to make it right away. There are still three days left. Just think about it and you'll have it!"

"You're a great chef, and if you can't even do this, you'd better die!"

"Go away, get out of the way, I'm going to kill you, Sha Mao!" Sha Zhu was ready to take action immediately!

Xu Damao was startled and immediately ran away cursing!

Sha Zhu laughed loudly. He just wanted to scare Xu Damao!

Remember the bitter past and think of the sweet future? No big deal, we just make the appearance a little ugly, but we will still make the taste delicious for you!

As for Liu Guangtian assigning this task to him, he must have his reasons. He, He Yuzhu, certainly cannot hold his brother back, Shazhu thought to himself.
