"Master, you have given us so many gifts before. You don't have to prepare those specially for me. I am already very grateful to you in my heart." Ma Hua was moved and said a little embarrassedly.

Liu Lan next to him also quickly responded: "Teacher He, you really don't have to worry about it anymore. I am already very grateful for your help before. I would be embarrassed to take things now."

"Just do as I say. I have prepared everything, including some grains, vegetables, pork and fish. The New Year is coming soon. You can take them home and eat them tomorrow." He Yuzhu said straightforwardly in an irresistible tone.

7017k Steel Plant, in front of a canteen warehouse.

He Yuzhu walked out after he finished speaking, because he was afraid that any further words would be interpreted as relief or pity.

During this difficult time, every family was struggling, especially the Ma Hua family and Liu Lan's side, who had a large population and relied on only one person to earn a living. If he stood by and watched, he would feel guilty.

After He Yuzhu left, Ma Hua looked at Liu Lan with tears in his eyes and said, "Sister Lan, just listen to Master. When we are capable and Master needs us, we will definitely help him!" His tone was full of determination.

Liu Lan nodded, "Okay, let's go back and finish today's work, and we'll talk about other things later." After that, the two hurried to the workshop.

He Yuzhu left the warehouse and headed straight for his office, because he had asked someone to call Zhou Hui and Zhao Xigui over, and tomorrow was a holiday, so he had to give the remaining money from their shopping to Vice Premier Li.

Fifteen or sixteen minutes later, there was a knock on the office door:

"Dong dong!"

"Come in."

Zhou Hui and Zhao Xigui pushed the door open and walked in, closing the door behind them.

"Director, do you have something to talk to us about?" Zhou Hui asked with a smile.

"Yes, have you brought everything you brought yesterday?" He Yuzhu asked them to sit down, then stood up and walked to the sofa.

"I brought it. We will do our best to complete the task assigned by you, Director!" Zhao Xigui smiled brightly, took out an envelope from his pocket and carefully placed it on the table with both hands.

"This is your money. All the details are here. I have listed them clearly." Zhou Hui showed it while smiling.

The previous afternoon, He Yuzhu had asked them to bring money with them. Zhou Hui was thoughtful and recorded the daily balances of the past few days in detail, with every expenditure clearly recorded.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." After a casual word of praise, He Yuzhu opened the envelope, confirmed the amount and then looked at the list.

The entire envelope contained a total of 201 yuan, which were all cash back discounts from recent days. Sometimes they were just 1, 2 or 3 yuan in small amounts, but the maximum daily income could be around to yuan.

After confirming that everything was correct, He Yuzhu put away the documents he had sorted out, put the money back into the envelope, and said with a smile: "Very good, thank you for your hard work. By the way, did you take the 1 yuan every day?"

"Yes, Director, we follow your arrangement and each person receives 1 yuan per day. This has greatly improved the conditions at home. Thank you for your care." Zhou Hui replied with a smile.

Since He Yuzhu came to power, he and Zhao Xigui converted the money into physical goods. The supplies they brought back were of high quality and low price, which greatly improved the quality of life at home.

Zhao Xigui also hurriedly thanked him: "Director, your care has greatly improved our family's life."

He Yuzhu laughed and replied, "It goes without saying that if you do well, you will be rewarded. I have something to ask you two today. I have already dealt with one thing, and now for the second thing, I want to know if you know the person called 'Ma San of Pigeon City'?"

Zhou Hui and Zhao Xigui looked at each other when they heard this. They both felt that this name had some impression.

Suddenly, Zhou Hui remembered and asked quietly, "Is it Ma San who recently provided tens of thousands of kilograms of watermelons to the cooperative?"

Because watermelons can be bought in cooperatives all over the city, even in this cold weather, there are still people selling watermelons, so Zhou Hui asked the employees there with great interest, and it turned out that Ma San was one of the suppliers.

Zhao Xigui pondered and said, "I don't know if it was his watermelon supply, but I remember there was indeed a Ma San in Pigeon City who bought and sold all kinds of certificates. He has about 20 to 30 subordinates, and he controls most of the business there. It is said that in addition to bill transactions, he also collects gold and antique calligraphy and paintings, and the scale is quite large."

Zhao Xigui continued, "I have never had any friendship with this Ma San, so I don't know if he is the one you mentioned. I originally planned to transfer some business to him and let him take full responsibility, but it seems that I have to reconsider our cooperation plan."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu frowned. He didn't expect Ma San to be so prominent that even Zhou Hui and Zhao Xigui knew his name. He wanted to ask for their help, but now it seems that he may need to think again.

After confirming with a smile that the person Zhao Xigui was talking about was the same person, He Yuzhu asked, "The Ma San I mentioned seems to be the person Xiao Zhao mentioned. You often go to Pigeon City to purchase. Do you know anything about this Ma San?"

After a short silence, Zhao Xigui said, "Director, although I have not dealt with Ma San directly, I did have several transactions with his younger brother Liuzi. From Liuzi, I learned that Ma San follows the rules, has a strong backing, is well-known in the capital, and does business fairly. The Pigeon Market has been operating since the founding of the country, and I have never heard of anyone getting angry with Ma San because of a transaction. He has an excellent reputation and a wide range of business. Since I took over the canteen's procurement, Liuzi can always help me with anything that is hard to find on the market, which saves a lot of time."

Zhou Hui next to him echoed, "Director, if Ma San is the person Brother Zhao said, I have dealt with his men many times and they are indeed very reliable."

After hearing the two's answers, He Yuzhu relaxed his brows a little and asked, "So, neither of you has seen Ma San in person?"

"I've only heard of him, but I haven't met him in person." Zhao Xigui and Zhou Hui said almost in unison.

After a brief contemplation, He Yuzhu recalled his memories in Pigeon City, when Ma San said in person: You can find him by asking. Based on this, he may not be as mysterious as Zhao Xigui and the others said. He smiled faintly and continued: "Forget it, let's end this matter here. You can focus on your procurement work. If you have any problems, just come to me. This is for the benefit of the employees. As for the cooperation with Ma San, I think it is better for me to remain neutral for the time being."

He decided not to intervene in Ma San's affairs personally. After all, Zhou Hui and Zhao Xigui had already had some interactions with Ma San's men. If they needed help in the future, they would take the initiative to find Ma San to solve the problem. Then, Zhou Hui and Zhao Xigui smiled and nodded and left the office. He Yuzhu made a cup of tea by himself, and thought while sipping it slowly: "It seems that in the future, we can only contact Ma San as an 'old ghost'. They have never seen Ma San in person, but they are familiar with him, which means that this guy is definitely not unknown. If he is really found, he may be locked in at once. However, it is not ruled out that there are people supporting him behind the scenes. Well, let's observe for a while, and I hope he is safe. Otherwise, we may have to work hard to find another candidate."

After thinking about it, He Yuzhu slowly drank the tea in the jar, then picked up the envelope on the table, stood up and prepared to go to Deputy Factory Director Li.

At the steel plant, Director Li’s office.

As soon as He Yuzhu stepped in, Director Li's mouth immediately raised, "Deputy Director He, why did you come here suddenly? Is there something you want to do?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "How dare I disturb you, Director? I just came to serve you tea. Your hospitality last time was so great that I missed you for a long time!"

He did not say clearly what he came for, but from Director Li's smile, He Yuzhu felt that the other party had been looking forward to it for a long time, perhaps for that unspoken matter.

"Hehe, Director He rarely comes to visit, how can the tea not be good enough? Wait a minute, I will go and make you a pot of good tea myself." Director Li said happily.

However, at this moment, He Yuzhu took out the large teacup behind him and said casually, "That's right, see, I even brought the teacup with me, I hope you won't be stingy with the good tea leaves, hahaha."

Upon hearing this, Director Li turned around and saw that He Yuzhu was holding the large jar that he usually used to make tea. He was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Haha, Director He, you are really funny. Today's teacup will not be finished until it is filled with your tea."

"Hey, then your factory director's tea is naturally better. I'm here this time to sweep away the rich people, hehe." He Yuzhu said his intention with a smile without any hesitation.

"Okay, okay, wait a moment. I'll go to the office and find the best tea to make for you."

Director Li took the large teapot, opened the locker, took out a large amount of tea leaves and put them into the pot. He personally filled it with boiling water and then presented it with both hands.

After sitting down, He Yuzhu couldn't wait to grab the big pot and took a deep breath of the rich tea fragrance. Then he praised with satisfaction: "It's really worthy of your tea. It's much better than my bubble tea."

"Hahaha, anyone who loves tea can come anytime. This is my only pastime."

Then he said, "By the way, I recently got some precious tea leaves. When you leave later, I will bring you two kilograms to take back and taste."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu was very grateful. "That's great. I remember hearing someone say: In this world, we need to drink to relieve our sorrows; a great cause for generations can be achieved with just a pot of tea. The factory director loves tea, so he must have a bright future."

"Oh, the world is full of ups and downs, wine can dispel three thousand worries, and a thousand years of great achievements can be achieved in one cup. This is a wonderful saying, Director He, I wonder who said this to you?" Director Li was quite touched when he heard this and couldn't help but praise it.

Although the famous Chinese cultural sayings by Zhai Hongshen have long been well known, he was born in 1943 and was only in his twenties at the time, so it was impossible for him to say such a wise saying.

"I forgot. I am a chef. I occasionally hear these wise words when I cook for you." He Zhuyu explained with a smile and shook his head.

"Alas, although it would be nice to hear the source again, it is precious to hear this sentence now."

He sighed: "The world is full of ups and downs, wine can relieve worries, and tea can achieve great things. This is a great saying."
