Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

Not long after Yang Zili left He Yuzhu's office, someone suddenly knocked on the door of He Yuzhu's office. "Knock! Knock! Knock!" He Yuzhu, who was inside the room, heard the sound, put the pen in his hand on the table, then raised his head and looked towards the door, and said casually, "Come in."

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, the person outside the door opened the office door and walked in. The person who came was Su Daqiang, director of the Personnel Department, and Li Huaide.

When He Yuzhu saw Su Daqiang and Li Huaide, he quickly stood up from his seat and greeted them enthusiastically, "Director Su, Director Li, you are here."

Su Daqiang responded with a smile: "Deputy Director He, I'm here with Director Li to hand over the work to you."

He Yuzhu walked up to the two of them, and then said to Su Daqiang: "Director Su, I didn't expect that you would come here in person to take over the work this time."

Su Daqiang replied with a smile: "Deputy Director He, you are joking. You are now the deputy director. How dare I send someone to handle the handover between you and Director Li?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Hahaha... Director Su, you flatter me too much. My position as deputy factory director is just a title. I will have to rely on you to support my work in the future."

Su Daqiang nodded quickly and said, "Deputy Director He, don't worry, we will definitely cooperate with you in your work."

As He Yuzhu spoke, he walked to a cabinet nearby, opened the cabinet door and said to Li Huaide, "Director Li, the documents that we need to hand over are in this cabinet. We can talk about other things after we hand over these documents."

Li Huaide hurriedly said, "Everything is in accordance with Deputy Director He's instructions."

So He Yuzhu and Li Huaide successfully completed the handover of work under Su Daqiang's supervision. After Su Daqiang asked He Yuzhu and Li Huaide to sign the handover list, he smiled and said, "Deputy Director He, Director Li, the handover work for the two of you is over. If you have nothing else to do, I will go back to the Personnel Department first. Deputy Director He, would you like to come with me? I can accompany you to your new office."

Just as He Yuzhu was about to speak, Li Huaide rushed to say, "Director Su, thank you for your hard work and for taking the trouble to make this trip. However, I still have something to report to Deputy Director He."

Seeing this, Su Daqiang laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. This is all my job. In that case, I won't disturb Director Li from reporting to Deputy Director He." After that, he turned and walked out of the office, closing the door behind him.

He Yuzhu looked at Li Huaide and said with a smile: "I haven't had time to congratulate Director Li on his promotion to Director Li yet."

"Deputy Director He, please stop teasing me. I am a director, but I am far inferior to you as the director." Li Huaide said with a wry smile after hearing what He Yuzhu said. "When I worked under you before, I felt that you were in charge and I didn't have to think too much. Now you are not in charge of logistics, and I am left alone to manage it. I am suddenly at a loss. Deputy Director He, as my old leader, you can't stand by and watch me die when I encounter difficulties that I can't solve."

"Director Li, you are joking. Others may not know your abilities, but I do. I believe you can manage the logistics department well. If you really encounter difficulties and can't make up your mind, feel free to come to me and we can communicate with each other." He Yuzhu said cheerfully.

"I feel relieved after hearing what Deputy Director He said." Li Huaide said with a smile, "Deputy Director He, do you have anything to tell me?"

"Director Li, what do you mean by explanation?" After hearing what Li Huaide said, He Yuzhu looked at Li Huaide with a suspicious look and asked.

"Deputy Director He, what I mean is that you have been working in logistics for so long, and this area will no longer be under your charge. Is there anything that needs my attention in private?" Li Huaide asked directly upon seeing this.

"Director Li, this is what you are talking about." He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "There are indeed a few things I need to tell you, Director Li! The first thing is related to the cafeteria. Director Li should know about it?"

"I know? What are you talking about, Deputy Director He?" Li Huaide asked in confusion.

"Director Li, you were the canteen director before. When you were managing the canteen, didn't you notice that the meat processing plant supplied more pork to our canteen than other plants?"

"Really? Deputy Director He, I really hadn't noticed it if you hadn't told me. I had never been to a canteen before coming to our factory. Although our canteen seems to have more vegetables and pork than the factory where I used to work, I thought it was because our factory is in the steel industry, which is an industry that requires heavy physical labor, and the superiors allocated more!" Li Huaide said a little embarrassedly.

"Under normal circumstances, the pork supplied by the meat processing plant to our canteen is fixed according to the plan of the superiors. At that time, I had just become the deputy director of the Logistics Department, and Director Liu handed over the liaison with the meat processing plant to me. I privately met with Deputy Director Zhang of the Meat Processing Plant many times, and finally Deputy Director Zhang agreed to give our factory four more pigs per week. However, when we were negotiating at that time, there were only a few thousand people in our factory, and now there are more than 4 people, and we still need four more pigs per week. Four pigs are cooked for more than 4 people, and each person gets less than half an ounce of meat on average. No wonder Director Li didn't notice it." He Yuzhu explained to Li Huaide with a smile.

"Deputy Director He, why don't you talk to Director Zhang in private and ask him to give our factory more pork?" Li Huaide said excitedly when he heard this.

He Yuzhu shook his head and said helplessly: "Director Li, I think it's very difficult. At that time, I had to negotiate with Deputy Director Zhang of the Meat Processing Plant for a long time, and Deputy Director Zhang only gave our factory 4 pigs. Now there are more factories in Sijiucheng, and the meat supply of the Meat Processing Plant will only be more tense. But it is not impossible. It depends on whether Director Li can convince Director Zhang."

Although He Yuzhu's tone revealed that there was not much hope, Li Huaide still decided to give it a try. At that time, He Yuzhu was the deputy director, and he was able to get some pork from the deputy director of the meat processing plant. There was no reason why he, the director, could not get it himself. "Deputy Director He, is the deputy director Zhang you were looking for at that time still working at the meat processing plant?" Li Huaide asked.

"Yes, but he is not the deputy director now. In early 57, he became the head of the meat processing plant." He Yuzhu smiled and said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Hearing this news, Li Huaide couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Director Zhang, who was originally only the deputy director, has now become the head of the meat processing plant, which means that the power in his hands has become even greater. In this way, wouldn't it be more conducive to increasing the amount of pork supplied to the factory? Thinking of this, Li Huaide tried to restrain his inner joy and asked calmly, "Deputy Director He, I already understand the first thing, so what about the other things?"

He Yuzhu nodded and continued, "Second thing, Director Li, you should remember that I once asked you to organize the workers in the cafeteria to use the wasteland in the factory to cultivate vegetables. In this way, we can reduce the amount of vegetables purchased from outside and save expenses. At that time, I also used the saved vegetable money to copy Dodge trucks. Now the truck repair workshop has developed into a machinery manufacturing plant and no longer needs this money. Therefore, Director Li needs to ask Secretary Gao and Director Yang for instructions on how to properly arrange the use of the saved money."

Li Huaide nodded and said, "Okay, I'll remember that. Anything else, Deputy Director He?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and then continued, "There is another small matter that I need you to take care of. Our factory planted some fruit trees, including grape trees and chestnut trees, when it was doing greening in the past few years. The grape trees began to bear fruit last year, and the output this year is expected to be even higher. When these fruit trees were planted, my idea was to organize the canteen workers to pick the grapes after they were ripe, and distribute them to the workers as a welfare benefit of the factory. Now this task is left to you." He Yuzhu said with emotion. He realized that time passed so quickly. He had been a cadre for more than three years.

"Okay, Deputy Director He, what should we do when the chestnut tree bears fruit?" Li Huaide asked curiously.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and replied, "My plan at the time was to wait until the chestnuts from the chestnut trees were ripe, pick them, dry them, and store them. I would fry them during the Chinese New Year and distribute them to the workers as a New Year's gift. This way everyone could taste fresh chestnuts, and it would also add to the festive atmosphere."

"Deputy Director He really cares about the workers." Li Huaide flattered He Yuzhu a little.

"The responsibility of the Logistics Department is to solve logistical problems for all employees in the factory. These are what I should do. It's a pity that I have only done half of it. Director Li will have to work hard on the next task." He Yuzhu said with a smile.
