Deputy Director Li greeted him with a smile on his face, like a close friend, but He Yuzhu thought in his heart that he might have something to ask for again.

“The factory director is looking for me, so of course I won’t refuse.

If you have anything to ask, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will do my best. "He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Haha, Master He is so straightforward! I just heard from Director Yang that you can get five or six thousand kilograms of pork. Is this true?"

Deputy Director Li asked comfortingly.

“There are indeed such situations, and it is also friends who help.

I'm just helping out. I'm just a small cook, how can I pull pork?" He Yuzhu smiled and answered modestly.

"It's good to get it anyway."

"To be honest, I am not hiding anything. Other factories have also contacted me and want my help in purchasing some pork. Master He, how do you think you can help me?" Director Li made this request with a smile.

Although it was a questioning tone, it was obvious from his tone that he had already determined that he would agree.

However, He Yuzhu didn't mind. The pigs in the space gained nearly 300 kilograms in weight every day. As long as there was enough time, supplying a large amount of pork was not a problem at all.

"How much do you want? If the demand is too great, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it." He Yuzhu asked in a low voice.

"The demand is not small, at least 8000 kilograms, and five factories have approached me. As you know, Director Yang accidentally leaked some information.

Everybody was anxious, meat was scarce, and I had no idea where to start.

Director Li smiled and said that he knew that it would be difficult for He Yuzhu to refuse these orders, and he also knew that Director Li himself had a strong background and considerable power resources.

Indeed, being able to emerge and take a senior position in the factory when Director Yang was in trouble would have been impossible without backstage support.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. I will contact a reliable friend. When do you need to pick up the goods?" He Yuzhu thought. Although he was reluctant to deal with this factory director, this guy would be promoted soon, so there was no need to offend him at this time.

"It will be fine as long as it is the same standard as our factory and we can settle the bill according to the market price?" Director Li continued to ask.

"No problem, I will provide it at the market price, and then I will send two vehicles to take it away directly."

"Very good, Master He is straightforward, so it's settled.

I have to attend the meeting soon, so I'm leaving now. Sorry to bother you, Master He! "

After the matter was settled, Director Li planned to leave as the meeting was still waiting for him.

“Be careful on the road.”

After the two separated, He Yuzhu returned to the kitchen. At this time, Ma Hua hurried over and asked with concern: "Master, did Director Li cause you any trouble?"

"It's no problem, he came to me for help with something, don't worry.

By the way, wait for me outside the factory when you get off work this afternoon, and I will bring you some food." He Yuzhu patted Ma Hua's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Understood, thank you, Master."

Time passed quickly throughout the morning. Apart from stewing a pot of delicious food, He Yuzhu spent most of the time resting. This job was quite easy.

It's lunch time and most of the workers are taking a nap.

At this time, Qin Huairu walked into the cafeteria.

"Ma Hua, is your master here?" he asked Ma Hua who was cleaning as soon as they met.

When he saw that it was Qin Huairu, Ma Hua's expression suddenly became a little cold, because he knew that his master no longer had any bad intentions towards Qin Huairu, so he deliberately answered with a stern face.

"Yes, what do you want to talk to my master about? Aren't you going to rest at this time?" There was displeasure in his tone. Ma Hua had never treated Qin Huairu like this before.

However, He Yuzhu did not back down from Ma Hua's plea. He smiled and replied, "Could you please ask your master to come over? I have something to talk to him about."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Then, Ma Hua put down the broom and turned back to the depths of the kitchen.

After a while, He Yuzhu stepped into the cafeteria hall.

"Zhu Zi, you are finally here!" Qin Huairu's face was immediately filled with smiles when she saw him.

"Sister Qin, just tell me what you want to say." He Yuzhu looked indifferent, almost a little cold in response to her.

"Zhu Zi, I was wrong yesterday. I talked to Bang Geng after I got home. He told me that you wanted the child to understand the importance of labor and asked him to pay back with eggs.

Now I understand your good intentions.

Thank you, Zhuzi. "Qin Huairu whispered an apology.

Hearing that it was just a misunderstanding, He Yuzhu became more and more annoyed.

He nodded, his tone calm: “If this is the case, I understand, and I accept your apology.

Sister Qin, you can go back now. "

However, at this moment, Qin Huairu suddenly grabbed He Yuzhu's hand and begged, "Zhuzi, I have another request. My family is really in trouble. Can you help me bring some meat and flour from the canteen back home? Yesterday, the last bit of flour at home was distributed to the children to fill their stomachs. There is no oil or water at home, and we haven't had meat for a long time.

The children were clamoring for meat and I really had no way to cope with their demands.

There are still some days until the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I have already emptied my pockets.

I'm really having a hard time raising money for New Year clothes for the kids and mother.

Please, help me, Zhuzi.

Just think of it as begging me, okay?

"Let me take the food home?" He Yuzhu asked calmly.

She continued to beg, as if she didn't hear the answer just now.

“Okay, I have no room for negotiation on this point.

I have made it clear before that I will no longer allow private goods.

Besides, Sister Qin, since our family is in financial difficulty, can't we be frugal? We have to buy new clothes for the New Year, can't we just make do with the clothes we have before? Look at my clothes, they are so old, how many years do I have to buy new ones?

You know the reason well, but my help to your family over the years has not been easy.

If you want help, you can't just ask me for help, right? "

Speaking of this, He Yuzhu was very unhappy. He felt that Qin Huairu was asking for too much. This kind of request made him feel sorry for himself.

Everyone has difficulties. Without his personal space, he doesn't know how to survive.

“Eat and drink for free”

There should be a limit, right? It's impossible to squeeze only one person dry, right?

Qin Huairu was furious when she heard this: "Zhu Zi, what do you mean? I thought you would understand, but I didn't expect..."

"It's clear what I mean. Competence dictates pay. There's no need to beat around the bush now that I've said it.

You say your family is having a hard time, but there are so many families in need. How can you ensure that others can survive while you cannot do without my support?

Is it fun to complain all the time? "He Yuzhu said bluntly without mercy.

Unconsciously blurting out something he shouldn't have said, he asked, "Back then, the family relied almost entirely on me to provide for their living needs, and most of my salary was spent by you, which was enough to support the family's expenses."

Then he asked coldly: "Where did your salary go?"

He Yuzhu's words were icy.

"Leave it all to Banggen..."

Her voice was a little anxious, and she felt she had lost her composure before she even finished speaking, but there was no need to say more, as He Yuzhu already understood her intention: to use it to marry a wife.

"Hmph, great, leave it to Banggeng... Then why don't you just pay me back? Have I become your free ATM again? Hey, Qin Huairu, you said I'm a 'blood cow' and a 'silly good person', right? Without my help, how would my family survive?"

He suppressed his anger, but still couldn't stand it. "Disappear! Say one more word, and I guarantee I'll smack your crow mouth until your ears are deafened!"

He Yuzhu was furious to an unprecedented degree. His original intention when he first came to this world was that even though Qin Huairu was plotting against him, he still had some humanity in his heart.

But now, this woman was only ruthless in his eyes.

She was nice to her family but was completely unkind to him.

"Zhu Zi, don't be like this..."

"roll!"

After shouting angrily, He Yuzhu turned and left without hesitation.

Thinking about meeting that woman again, he might have to report to the hypertension department.

Secretly, he was filled with indignation towards his original identity. It was so hateful that he had been exploited by this family all his life without realizing it.

In the cafeteria, Qin Huairu looked at He Yuzhu's receding figure with strong hatred in her eyes, and roared like a wild beast: "You!"

With just one roar, she ran out crying.

Chef Ma Hua noticed that He Yuzhu looked unwell, and cautiously stepped forward to serve tea: "Master, are you okay?"

He Yuzhu took a deep breath, took the tea, and said reluctantly: "It's okay, I just feel a little nauseous."

In the back kitchen of the steel plant canteen, He Yuzhu was in a bad mood the whole afternoon.

Although there was no outburst, no one wanted to anger this old man.

As it was almost time to get off work, they deliberately avoided him for fear of bringing bad luck.

There was no reception task in the evening, so He Yuzhu was naturally happy to have some free time. After finishing the work, he led Ma Hua off work on time.

Outside the factory gate, near the courtyard wall, he asked Ma Hua to wait as usual. Under a lush patch of vegetation, he took out the pig head and large intestine from the luggage bag and tied them with thread. He then added 30 kilograms of pig residue and put them in a bag before picking it up and leaving.

"Brother Hua, you can use these pig heads and large intestines to make soup to satisfy your craving.

In addition, there are 30 kilograms of rice slag in it. There are so many people in the family, so it may not be enough for them to eat. You can take these to deal with it for a few days. Remember to tell me when you are done. "He said with a smile.

Ma Hua was deeply moved, with tears in his eyes. He wanted to decline but thought of his elderly mother and many younger brothers and sisters at home, so the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.

Seeing his absent-minded look, He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Take it. You are not allowed to take the food from the cafeteria home. I guess there is not much food left at home."

"But you are my apprentice, and I don't want to see your family starve. Take it, no more words."

"Yes, Master, Ma Hua will definitely find an opportunity to repay your kindness in the future!" Ma Hua said firmly, patting his chest.

"Okay, go back, I'm leaving."

He Yuzhu handed the item to Ma Hua and turned away gracefully.

By the way, regarding the bicycle, the factory has issued a statement announcing that because He Yuzhu made outstanding contributions to the company, he was rewarded with a bicycle, a watch, a sewing machine and two hundred yuan in cash. The cash has not been received yet, and He Yuzhu plans to go to the Finance Department to get it tomorrow.
