Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

With the cooperation of various departments, the tavern quickly completed the public-private partnership and reopened in early October 1954. Wu Youyi trained the three staff members assigned to the tavern by the street office before the opening according to He Yuzhu's instructions. During the training, Wu Youyi emphasized: "The tavern should be operated as before. Old customers who often drink in the tavern can continue to drink on credit. When customers drink in the tavern, if they accidentally say something they shouldn't say, don't make a big deal about it. As long as the customers don't fight or make trouble after drinking, let them do as they please."

"Finally, I want to emphasize that the success of a tavern affects everyone's vital interests. You should be more enthusiastic when treating guests, and not have a stern face as if everyone owes you money. When I'm not in the tavern in the future, if you have any questions, you can go to the backyard to ask the private manager Cai Quanwu."

When the old customers of the tavern came back again, they found that the tavern was no different from before except for the three new faces. On the contrary, with the participation of the street office, the business area has doubled, and they no longer have to worry about coming late and not having a seat. The tavern's business quickly recovered and far exceeded the previous level.

By January 1955, because the tavern was operating stably and had achieved better results than before the public-private partnership, Wu Youyi's status as a reserve cadre was officially changed to a cadre. Because the tavern played a good demonstration role, many merchants who were waiting and watching also responded to the government's call for public-private partnership. As merchants on the market participated in public-private partnerships, the boss of Loubancheng, the steel mill, finally figured it out and decided to participate in the wave of public-private partnerships. Because Loubancheng's enterprise scale is relatively large, in order to show the government's sincerity, the public-private partnership of Loubancheng's steel mill was personally presided over by the Ministry of Heavy Industry. The leader of the working group led by the Ministry of Heavy Industry was still Li Ze, who had previously visited the steel mill for research.

During the investigation of the entire steel mill's assets, it was discovered that Liu Dagui, the former director of the steel mill's canteen, had engaged in a certain degree of corruption. However, after consulting Lou Bancheng, the head of the steel mill, Lou Bancheng gave up pursuing Liu Dagui's responsibility. Considering Liu Dagui's previous behavior, Liu Dagui was not suitable to stay in the steel mill and continue to serve as the canteen director. Because public-private partnerships were being carried out throughout the country, there was a large demand for leading cadres, and no suitable candidates could be found for the time being. After learning that there was no suitable candidate for the canteen director of the steel mill, Li Ze, the head of the public-private partnership working group of the steel mill, suggested to the people below whether they could consider He Yuzhu, the former chef of the steel mill canteen.

After investigating He Yuzhu's personal situation, the members of the working group found that He Yuzhu was very outstanding. Although he only graduated from elementary school, he actively studied on his own after graduating from elementary school, and his basic cultural level basically reached the level of a high school graduate. He actively donated money to the cutest people during the Anti-Ugly and Aid Campaign. Considering that He Yuzhu is already a formal member of the Workers and Peasants Party. After internal consultation, the members of the working group finally decided to appoint He Yuzhu as the director of the steel mill canteen. Considering that He Yuzhu is only 19 years old, he will be temporarily appointed as the acting director. The probation period is one year. After one year, he will be transferred to the official canteen director after passing the probation. The working group reported the group's opinions to the leader of the working group, Li Ze. After reading it, Li Ze decisively signed and approved it. So He Yuzhu was appointed as the acting director of the steel mill canteen without knowing it.

When He Yuzhu received a notice from the public-private partnership working group of the steel mill, asking him to go to the working group, He Yuzhu was very confused. Why did the public-private partnership need him, a canteen chef, to go and understand the problem? Could it be that the original canteen director Liu Dagui had a problem and was discovered by the working group? Just when He Yuzhu was puzzled, He Yuzhu came to the office of the public-private partnership working group of the steel mill. After knocking on the door of the working group office, the door was opened. The woman in the room looked at He Yuzhu with a puzzled look and asked, "Comrade, what can I do for you?"

He Yuzhu said enthusiastically, "Hello, comrade. I am a worker in the canteen of the steel mill. My name is He Yuzhu. I just received a notice asking me to come to the public-private partnership working group of the steel mill. May I ask what you want to talk to me about?"

After the female comrade heard He Yuzhu's reason for coming, she smiled and said, "You are He Yuzhu. Come with me. Our team leader is waiting for you in the office. You will know when you get there!"

He Yuzhu followed the female comrade to the door of an office with doubts. The female comrade knocked on the door gently and said, "Team Leader Li, He Yuzhu is here."

At this time, Li Ze's low voice came from the room, "Let him in, Xiao Lu." Hearing this, the female comrade turned to He Yuzhu and said, "Comrade He, our team leader wants you to come in. You will know when you go in."

After knowing that the person in the room was Li Ze, He Yuzhu stopped thinking about it. He Yuzhu guessed that it was probably Brother Li Ze who wanted to find him to understand the situation. He Yuzhu pushed open the door and walked in. Li Ze, who was looking down at the data, raised his head after hearing the sound of He Yuzhu entering the room and said to He Yuzhu kindly, "Xiao He, you came so quickly."

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "I'm not busy right now, Team Leader Li, what do you want to talk to me about?" Because there were other working group members outside, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to Li Ze, He Yuzhu decided to call Li Ze by his title.

Li Ze was very satisfied with He Yuzhu's address of his position. Considering that the working group had a lot of things to do, Li Ze did not bother to greet He Yuzhu. He took out a piece of paper from the drawer next to him, stood up from his seat, walked to a distance in front of He Yuzhu, and said to He Yuzhu solemnly: "Comrade He, next I will represent the public-private partnership working group of the steel rolling mill to read out your appointment."

Just when He Yuzhu was still wondering why he was appointed, Li Ze's voice sounded. Li Ze slowly read: "Comrade He Yuzhu is hereby appointed as the acting director of the steel mill canteen. The probation period is one year. During his tenure as the acting director of the steel mill canteen, He Yuzhu will be in charge of all the affairs of the steel mill canteen. After the probation period, he will be transferred to the official director of the steel mill canteen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ze handed the appointment letter to He Yuzhu, who subconsciously took his appointment letter. Looking at He Yuzhu who looked puzzled, Li Ze jokingly said, "What's wrong, Xiao He, are you unwilling to accept the task assigned by the organization?"

Hearing Li Ze's joking voice, He Yuzhu instantly came to his senses and said in confusion: "It's not that I don't want to accept the task assigned to me by the organization, but the news was a bit too exciting for me at the moment, and I didn't react all of a sudden. Team leader Li, wasn't Liu Dagui the former director of the steel mill cafeteria? What happened to Liu Dagui?"

Li Ze said mysteriously, "Due to some circumstances, Liu Dagui is not suitable to continue to serve as the canteen director after the steel mill's public-private partnership. Because the whole country is now carrying out the public-private partnership movement, talents who understand corporate management are in short supply, so I proposed that you be the director of the steel mill canteen. After the organization's investigation, it was found that except for your young age, you fully meet the other conditions, so you are temporarily appointed as the acting director, and you will be promoted to the permanent director after one year."

After listening to Li Ze's words, He Yuzhu understood instantly that it seemed that Liu Dagui had done something scandalous when he was managing the canteen before and the working group had discovered it. He Yuzhu straightened his back and said to Li Ze with a serious face: "I promise to complete the task assigned to me by the organization."

Li Ze was very satisfied with He Yuzhu's attitude. He was about to pat He Yuzhu on the shoulder and say a few words to encourage him. As a result, he raised his hand in the air and found that he could not reach him. He could only stretch his hand in front of He Yuzhu and make a handshake gesture. He Yuzhu also hurriedly stretched out his right hand and shook Li Ze's right hand. Li Ze said in an encouraging tone: "Xiao He, you must do your job well and don't let the organization down. I believe you can manage the canteen well. I hope you can play a greater role in the construction of the country in the future."

He Yuzhu also responded excitedly: "Team Leader Li, I will definitely work hard and will not let the organization down for its expectations and training of me."

"Well, I'm looking forward to your next performance. Okay, go out and find Comrade Wang who just brought you in, and let her take you to hand over to Liu Da Kui, the former director of the steel rolling mill canteen." Li Ze told He Yuzhu about the next work arrangement.

"Okay, then I'll go out. Team Leader Li, I won't delay your work." After saying that, He Yuzhu turned around and left Li Ze's office.

After He Yuzhu left Li Ze's office, he found the female comrade who brought him in. After handing the appointment letter to the female comrade, the female comrade looked at the appointment letter and said with a smile: "Welcome, Comrade He Yuzhu, my name is Wang Xiaohua." After that, Wang Xiaohua stretched out her hand to shake hands with He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu quickly stretched out his right hand and gently shook hands with Wang Xiaohua's right hand.

"Hello, Comrade Wang, my name is He Yuzhu. Team Leader Li asked you to take me to the former canteen director of the steel mill to hand over the work. Comrade Wang, when do you think we can go?"

"Comrade He, please wait for a moment. I will go and call two more people, and we will go together." After saying that, Wang Xiaohua turned around and went to look for other people.

So He Yuzhu, with the cooperation of the four working group staff, went to the canteen office of the steel mill to find Liu Dagui. After explaining his purpose to Liu Dagui, Liu Dagui also cooperated very well. With the cooperation of Liu Dagui, He Yuzhu successfully completed the handover work. After signing his name on the handover form, it meant that the handover work had been completed. The four working group staff took the handover form and left the canteen office.

After the working group left, Liu Dagui said to He Yuzhu with envy: "Zhuzi, since you came to the cafeteria, I know you are not an ordinary person. Work hard. Your future is better than mine. Don't learn from me."

He Yuzhu said sincerely: "Thank you, Uncle Liu, I will remember what you said." Then Liu Dagui gathered all the canteen staff together and announced: "From today on, He Yuzhu is the director of the canteen. All the work of the canteen will be in charge of Comrade He Yuzhu. Let's applaud and welcome him. Please let Director He say a few words to us." Then everyone in the canteen began to applaud and welcome He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu cleared his throat and motioned for everyone to be quiet. After everyone quieted down, He Yuzhu said, "Thank you for the organization's trust in me and entrusting me with the canteen work. I won't introduce myself too much. We have all worked together for several years. What I want to say is that after the public-private partnership of the steel mill, the factory belongs to the state. Some of you may be cooking in the canteen, and some may be doing odd jobs in the canteen, but there is no distinction between high and low jobs. We are all working hard with our own hands and contributing our own strength to the construction of the country in different fields and positions."

"Although we cannot produce qualified parts for the country like our colleagues in the workshop, without our efforts, how can they have enough food and energy to make parts? Therefore, we must ensure the meals of all workers in the steel rolling mill, so that all workers can not only have enough food, but also eat well, so that they can devote more energy to production."
