He Yuzhu liked Wang Qian in terms of her ideas and her attitude towards handling things. He admired her ability to show weakness at the right time. After breakfast, he left in a hurry without washing the dishes because Wang Qian was about to go to work.

They locked the door before leaving and pushed the bicycle out together. When He Yuzhu offered to take her to work, Wang Qian refused, considering his hard work. Therefore, today he arrived at the steel mill half an hour earlier than usual.

As soon as they entered the cafeteria, Zhou Hui was already waiting for them at the door and greeted them warmly. "How's the situation? Have you arranged the supply of potatoes?" Thinking of the task assigned to Zhou Hui, he immediately asked.

"Not yet, Director. I have contacted all the supply and marketing cooperatives, farms and food factories, but have not received a definite reply yet. I will reconfirm before the end of get off work today and make sure to report the results to you before the end of get off work." Zhou Hui explained quickly.

"This matter is urgent. It concerns the food supply of our cafeteria. Thank you for your hard work." He Yuzhu patted his shoulder and smiled, giving his support.

"Don't worry, Director. I'll keep it in mind." Zhou Hui responded firmly.

"Okay, keep busy and tell me if there is any progress." After saying that, He Yuzhu walked towards the kitchen to check.

Entering the kitchen, I saw Ma Hua hurriedly coming over with a teacup in hand. "Master, my mother asked me to come and thank you for the things I brought back yesterday. She invites you to have dinner and drink with us tonight."

Back at the steel mill, He Yuzhu politely declined Ma Hua's warm invitation: "Thank you for your kindness, but I am busy with work today and cannot keep the appointment. Please give my regards to your family."

First of all, He Yuzhu had already understood the value of connections before he traveled through time. Getting to know high-ranking leaders like big bosses was not to use their status to do things, but more to have a support system that he could rely on and ask for help when he needed it. If he encountered a problem in the future that he could not solve alone, such a helping hand would be particularly important.

Secondly, to reach the level of a big leader, one must have something extraordinary. Although He Yuzhu is confident that he has an extraordinary vision, he still thinks that he can learn a lot from this leader. He firmly believes that "there must be a teacher among three people", and the big leader is the role model of merit that he chooses to learn from.

Thirdly, he personally believed in the importance of credibility. Since he had promised the boss's wife that he would cook every Wednesday, he would stick to his promise unless the boss's wife took the initiative to say that he didn't need to go anymore.

On the side, Ma Hua knew that Master He's ** was very strong. As long as the master had something to do, he would not come to share lunch at home. "Then forget it, Master, you have official business to deal with, please feel free to do as you please, I will go back and explain the reason to my mother and others."

"Okay, we'll have dinner together again when we have a chance." He Yuzhu patted him on the shoulder, reminded him to work hard, and then prepared to take a short rest in the office.

Just as he stood up, the secretary of the factory director, Mr. Yang, came over. "Morning, Director He."

Seeing the person coming, He Yuzhu responded: "Good morning, Secretary Chen, are you here to inform me that the factory director has someone to invite at noon today?"

"It's not about that. It's not convenient to talk here. Shall we go to your office to discuss it in detail?" Secretary Chen looked around and suggested in a low voice.

"Okay, I have to go back to the office as well." He Yuzhu guessed that Secretary Chen might have some personal matters to deal with, so he gladly accepted the invitation.

Soon, in the office,

He Yuzhu handed over a cup of hot water and sat on the sofa with Secretary Chen. Noticing that the secretary was hesitant to speak, He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Secretary Chen, if you have something to say, please feel free to speak up. If I can help you, I will do my best. If I really can't help, that's fine too. Let's discuss a solution together."

Hearing this, Secretary Chen sighed softly and said with embarrassment, "Director He is right. I have no other options, so I came to you for advice. You know, I mentioned your pork source before, right? There are very few meat coupons allocated to our family, and our relatives can't find a chance to buy meat, so they have money but nowhere to spend it."

"As the New Year approaches, every family wants to improve their diet, so they all ask me to find a solution. But I can't do anything. Meat can't just appear out of thin air, right? I happened to overhear the conversation between Director Yang and other leaders that day, and then I learned that their pork came from you."

At this point, He Yuzhu understood that Secretary Chen had no worries about food because he had been with Director Yang for many years and must have been taken care of. It was probably because the relatives knew that he had a say around Director Yang, so they placed their hopes on him.

Secretary Chen, who was sitting opposite, saw that He Yuzhu didn't respond, and mistakenly thought that he was embarrassed, so he immediately added: "Director He, my family's needs are not high. There are more than ten relatives, and 20 to 30 kilograms per person is enough. If it is really inconvenient for you, I will just say no and won't embarrass you." In response, He Yuzhu smiled and shook his head, "It has come to this point, you have come to me, how can I bear to refuse?"

It's settled. My family originally had a pig left over. Now that Secretary Chen has mentioned it, I will handle this for you no matter how difficult it is.

Anyway, there are only my wife and I at home, and we can't finish all this, so I'll just give it to you. This whole pig, including the internal organs and the pig head, weighs about 380 kilograms. If you need it, I will sell it to you at the market price." He Yuzhu pretended to be a little embarrassed but slowly agreed.

"Oh, Director He, thank you so much, this really helped me a lot. You know, I was born in the countryside, and it was not easy to come to this city to study and work here. My wife treats me very well, but her family is not easy to deal with. A few days ago, she insisted that I find a way to get some meat home, and we were exhausted because of this." Secretary Chen paused and continued, "Director He, if you are willing to help with this matter, I naturally cannot let you lose money. It's no problem to calculate it according to the market price, but if there is no receipt, you will suffer a great loss.

How about this, I won't provide the receipt. I remember the total weight of the pig was about 420- kilograms, as you just said. How about I sell it for yuan? "This price is already quite high, which is about one yuan. You should know that parts such as pig offal and pig's trotters are often discounted a lot. The whole thing can be sold at to cents per kilogram plus a receipt. But after removing the receipt, the price is not low.

"Okay, but Secretary Chen, 400 yuan will be enough. After all, we can agree on something, and I'm not greedy for this little price difference. Tell me in advance when you want to pick it up, and I'll send it to the gate of the steel plant and you can arrange someone to take it back." Secretary Chen responded readily, and He Yuzhu also readily accepted his proposal.

Hearing this, Secretary Chen took out his wallet from his pocket, counted out forty hundred-yuan bills and put them on the table, then said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Director He. If it's convenient, I'll wait for you at the factory gate tomorrow morning, and I'll just ask a friend with more strength to help you carry the meat back in a sack."

"Tomorrow morning is fine. After all, this is what I agreed with my friend before." He Yuzhu thought about it and felt that tomorrow morning would not be a problem. Even in the afternoon would be fine since the meat was stored in the space he carried with him.

"Then it's solved. I feel relieved now." Secretary Chen looked relieved, which made He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile.

"Haha, it's normal. Who doesn't have a few relatives? Just treat it as a social interaction and deal with it." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Then it's settled. We'll have lunch together tomorrow at noon. I'll go do other things now. By the way, Director He may need to prepare some pork in advance. I heard that the New Year is coming soon and the supply in the factory may be tight. If the enthusiasm of the employees is not high, we have to use pork to motivate them and boost morale. I guess the factory director Mr. Yang will talk to you about this in the next few days." Secretary Chen said with a smile as he stood up.

"Thank you for your reminder. I have already made preparations on Director Yang's side. He can pick up the goods whenever he needs them." He Yuzhu responded with a smile on his face.

"That's good. Director He, you don't have to see me off. Let's meet in the cafeteria tomorrow." Secretary Chen waved his hand and left the office happily.

He Yuzhu sat down in the office of the steel plant. After seeing Secretary Chen off, he walked straight to the sofa and sat down. He glanced at the 400 yuan on the table, and then he had an idea and the money went directly into the space on his body.

"Punch the card."

"Ding Dong, you have successfully checked in. You have received 1000 gold coins and can participate in a lucky draw."

"The lottery begins."

The lucky draw is about to begin. Please wait for a moment... Congratulations to the host, you have drawn ten young turtles, which have now been put into the fish pond."

"Oh my, there are all kinds of weird things, but fortunately, turtles and other ingredients are delicious, and there will be new dishes to try in the future."

He Yuzhu ignored the turtle issue and instead thought about what kind of dishes to cook at his leader's house tonight. After all, his leader liked Sichuan cuisine, but his wife might not be able to stand the strong taste.

Moreover, even if the leaders of this era enjoy delicious food and fish occasionally, once a week would probably exceed their salary standards.

"Forget it, let's see what ingredients we have this afternoon and then we can make a combination based on what we have."

After thinking about it, he stood up and left the office. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Xu Damao rushing over angrily and roaring, "Silly Zhu, were you the one who poured laundry water on me last night? I'm ** you!"

He saw Xu Damao waving his fist, aiming directly at He Yuzhu, and it was obvious that he had used all his strength.

However, in He Yuzhu's view, everything happened too fast. When Xu Damao's fist was about to touch him, he suddenly crouched down and dodged, then turned his body slightly and faced away from the opponent.

"bump!"

The "Iron Shoulder" move, which was not fully performed, immediately knocked Xu Damao heavily against the wall of the corridor.

"Cough cough cough!"

Before Xu Damao could come to his senses, he was knocked flying. His back and chest were in severe pain. He hurriedly covered his chest and coughed.

He Yuzhu stood up, glanced at Xu Damao, and after confirming that he could not move immediately, he said coldly: "You are an ungrateful person. Although I accidentally spilled some water last night, if I hadn't found you drunk on the ground in time, you would have gone into the mountains this morning.
