Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

Ma Tiejun was so frightened by these powerful words that his heart trembled and his legs and feet shook uncontrollably like sieves. However, he still failed to recognize the situation and tried to impress Director Yang by acting pitiful, as he spoke in a trembling voice.

"Director Yang, I am wronged. Have you forgotten the time when Li Huaide and that mediocre Zhou Tao squeezed you together? At that time, you wanted to arrange for one of your cousins ​​to work in the factory as a workshop worker, but Li Huaide made things difficult for him. It was me who overcame all the opposition and secretly found a loophole to recruit him into the steel mill."

"After finally getting in, Zhou Tao, as the deputy director of logistics for the cafeteria, repeatedly deducted my salary and benefits. During festivals, the bread, pork, and rice I received were all lower than those of ordinary workers. Have you forgotten all this?"

Ma Tiejun was in tears as he spoke, not because he was deeply moved, but because he felt it was not worth it. If he had known that Director Yang would be so treacherous and want to push him out to make an example of him, he would have been so disloyal.

Back then, I should have stood on the same boat with Li Huaide from beginning to end and severely avenged this villain who had succeeded in his success.

However, how could Director Yang easily change the decision he had already made? So when faced with Ma Tiejun's pleading and fanning the flames, Director Yang snorted without thinking.

"Forget it, Ma Tiejun, do you think I don't know that you're betting everywhere? If you ask me, you're a fence-sitter, you go with the flow, which is the most shameful thing!"

Since he really felt guilty, he did not waste any time with Ma Tiejun. He stroked his sleeves, glared at Zhou Tao who was quite embarrassed next to him, and asked the senior official who was serving nearby to take Ma Tiejun, who had collapsed on the ground, away.

The rest of the things are basically simple. Ma Tiejun has been the head of the Personnel Department for many years. In this big melting pot, even if he is being cautious, how can he have a clean bottom?

Just throwing out a few reasons would be enough to make Ma Tiejun very angry. He would hold a disciplinary meeting among those section chiefs and directors who were wavering.

Use this as an excuse to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, to give a warning to the mountain and scare the tiger, and completely clip the wings of Li Huaide.

By then, without Li Huaide, the great threat, the entire steel rolling mill will be able to operate with ease, unlike before, when it was not functioning well because of Li Huaide's constraints.

As the saying goes, one feels refreshed when good things happen. After finalizing the plan, Director Yang immediately asked Deputy Director of Logistics Zhou Tao to notify the canteen to prepare a special meal and took out a bottle of fine Fenjiu that had been treasured in the canteen warehouse over the years as a celebratory wine.

"Director Yang, look at the tea tree mushrooms, coprinus comatus, and scutellaria baicalensis that you specifically asked me to buy a few days ago. I have already sent people to the department store this morning to buy them. Especially the scutellaria baicalensis, it is very fresh. I will notify Sha Zhu later and ask him to make a pot of mushroom soup, tea tree mushroom stewed with tofu, and scutellaria baicalensis stewed with radish soup. I guarantee that you will be well served."

Zhou Tao rubbed his hands. This guy was used to changing his attitude according to the situation. After learning the news that Li Huaide was about to fall in the morning, he left a way out for himself early on.

So at this moment, in order to curry favor with Director Yang, he immediately chose to start with food.

I thought Director Yang, who liked eating fungi, would be very satisfied with this, but I didn't expect that when he heard that lunch was all stew, his brows immediately frowned.

He threw the enamel teacup on the table in displeasure and scolded him angrily, "Soup, soup, soup, soup, all you know is soup all day long. And that idiot Zhu, if I remember correctly, it seems that it was because of the food he cooked and Li Huaide's appetite that he cooked some Tan family dishes all day long, stewing some light soups that were so light that you could make a bird in your mouth. How can you stew chicken with tea tree mushrooms and see the green onion and make soup?"

After saying this, Director Yang, who had silently endured Li Huaide's taste for many years, now got angry and gave him a reprimand while setting rules.

"Zhou Tao, remember this, just fry the green onion in oil, it will taste fresh. You can also stew or fry the tea tree mushrooms with some bacon, but don't stew them in soup. How can they taste soft after being soaked in water? The same goes for that idiot Zhu. I've heard a lot about him being dishonest, saying that we have to pack up the meat and vegetables in lunch boxes to take away. As the deputy director of logistics for the cafeteria, didn't you hear any rumors?"

Seeing Director Yang getting angry, Zhou Tao, who was in great pain, quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

"Well, Director Yang was teaching me about Sha Zhu's dishonest deeds. I did hear a little about that, but I heard that he seemed to be helping his neighbors who lived in the same courtyard. Besides, if a cook doesn't steal, he won't harvest the crops. These are common things, so I thought they shouldn't be a big deal, so I didn't investigate further..."

"If the cook doesn't steal, the crops won't be harvested? This is a heresy, how can we allow this?"

Director Yang raised his eyebrows, obviously not satisfied with this weak explanation. After a moment's silence, he waved his hand and said, "How about this? From now on, you let Liao Chengzheng be in charge of the canteen logistics, and you just stay in charge of the sanitation and sundry goods warehouse. As for Sha Zhu's position as the team leader of the kitchen team, I think he should be dismissed, so as to avoid doing some evil things all day long and bring shame to our factory."

Liao Chengzheng used to be Director Yang's secretary. Although he is not very old, he has gained a lot of experience because he has always been with Director Yang. Taking this opportunity to arrange a vacancy for him can be regarded as a reward for Liao Chengzheng's careful service over the years.

Director Yang's map of Yan State finally revealed the dagger. Although Zhou Tao lost his position as the deputy director of logistics of the canteen, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a good thing that Director Yang let Liao Chengzheng be in charge. This proves that Zhou Tao will not be targeted again, although he can no longer act arrogantly and make a lot of money like he did when Li Huaide was in power.

But over the years, Zhou Tao has indeed accumulated some wealth that is not easily visible. It may not be a bad thing if he can retire while he is still young and do an idle job without having to worry all day long.

The one who was hurt the most was Shazhu. As the squad leader of the canteen's logistics and cooking squad, although his hands and feet were not clean, he basically took some leftovers, eggs, vegetables and other not very valuable things.

Besides, even these things were basically taken away by Qin Huairu in various ways, so he really didn't get any benefit from them.

Director Yang has now temporarily replaced his generals and even plans to put Sha Zhu in the dark. Zhou Tao was not hurt, but for Sha Zhu it was a fatal blow. He lost his position as the leader of the kitchen squad and could no longer cook for the cadres. What was the difference between him and Ma Hua, who cooked for the big pot?

But he was helpless. A new emperor appoints new ministers. Director Yang is a man from southern Yunnan. He likes spicy and fresh food. He has always been dissatisfied with the Tan family cuisine made by Sha Zhu, and thinks that the bland soup is not tasty at all.

It's just because Li Huaide likes Tan's cuisine that he has been keeping it to himself. Now Li Huaide can't even protect himself. How can Sha Zhu, who is like Li Huaide's personal chef, continue to rest easy?

If Director Yang hadn't been concerned about Sha Zhu's status as a poor man and couldn't fire him at will, he would have even thought of asking Sha Zhu to pack up and get out of here as soon as possible, so that he wouldn't be around all day and become an annoyance.
