"Director, you have never experienced this kind of purchase before, so it's normal that you don't understand it. This self-purchased supplies is not included in the public regulations. In fact, it's not just our factory. According to my understanding, almost all large companies with 3,000 employees will adopt similar methods. After all, there are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom, and the original intention of doing so is to better serve the workers and improve efficiency. The things purchased are beneficial to everyone in the company, and of course no one will object to this." Zhou Hui explained patiently and happily.

After listening to this, He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Very good, you explained it to me very clearly. Then, you continue to contact all the channels you can contact to see if you can make up for the lack of supplies before the New Year. If there is no result before the end of get off work, you can come to the kitchen to find me and I will see if there is any other way."

Zhou Hui stood up and said respectfully, "Okay, Director. I'll start contacting them right away. If it's not done before the end of the afternoon, I'll come and report on the progress."

After Zhou Hui left, He Yuzhu fell into deep thought in his office. The property was indeed eye-catching, and he himself loved it. If he could sell the potatoes to the steel mill, he would definitely make a small profit.

"Forget it, let Zhou Hui find a purchasing channel. We'll consider it again if he can't find one. There's still plenty of time anyway." He sighed, feeling that it was really not easy to make money in this era. Having precious resources but being unable to exchange them for money was the biggest problem.

After taking a deep breath, He Yuzhu suddenly remembered that he had not completed today's sign-in.

"Sign in."

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

"lottery."

"Ding, the lottery is in progress, please wait... The lottery is over, congratulations to the host, you won one RMB."

He looked at the mere one dollar in his hand in surprise, feeling a little disappointed. He knew that the prizes for the lottery were random, but this was indeed the lowest value he had ever received.

"Well, even if it's just one dollar, it's not a small amount. It's enough to pay half a day's salary." He sighed and put the money he took out into his pocket.

He glanced at his watch and saw that lunch time was approaching, so he walked to the kitchen to help cook and serve food to his colleagues. After serving food to more than 20 people, Qin Huairu came to him.

"Give me two bites of steamed buns, a portion of Chinese cabbage, and a serving of potato chips." Qin Huairu calmly handed over the money and meal ticket.

He Yuzhu took the money and put the food into Qin Huairu's lunch box. After she left, He Yuzhu thought to himself: "Oh, it seems that her mood has changed. This is the first time she hasn't smiled at me in so many days. But she looks tired. She must have been dragged down by Jia Zhang's matter."

He Yuzhu did not think deeply about the reasons, nor did he expect that his insomnia was caused by the stick stems. These were beyond his concern.

Soon after, it was almost 1:40 in the afternoon and all the workers had finished their lunch. Only then did He Yuzhu have a simple meal with Ma Hua and others.

To be honest, Ma Hua's cooking skills have improved during this period, but compared with the two senior chefs, there is still a long way to go.

After finishing his meal, He Yuzhu walked towards the office holding the tea that Ma Hua had just brewed, ready to take a break.

"Another boring day at work today." He Yuzhu leaned back in his office chair and couldn't help but sigh. For office workers, work is indeed boring.

Once upon a time, he thought that his friends' talk of quitting public office was just an act of showing off. After all, having a stable full-time job within the system - working from nine to five, with two days off a week - was indeed very tempting.

I never thought that when it was my turn to experience it myself, I would find this routine life so dull and boring.

As he thought about it, he recalled the dead man who used to drink with him and talk about life while drunk. ** His own dilemma now: Is his partner still complaining about the hard work and longing for relief?

At the same time, they worry about their parents. Are they okay? Will the body that carries all their love be sent to the crematorium? How sad they will be!

He Yuzhu was so emotional that he wanted to go home and take a look immediately.

Unfortunately, this is just an unattainable wish.

Before he knew it, he fell into a light sleep on the stool.

About an hour later, there was a knock on the office door.

Hearing the sound, He Yuzhu immediately woke up, rubbed his face, and responded: "Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Lan pushed open the door with a smile and looked around the layout of his office.

"Why are you here, Sister Liu? Is there anything wrong?" He Yuzhu asked with a smile.

Liu Lan shook her head gently and smiled, "It's nothing serious. I just learned from the elder sister in the first workshop that Qin Huairu was injured in her right hand by a flying part of the machine when she was working in the afternoon. The injury seems to be serious. She has been sent to the medical room of our factory. Do you want to go see her?"

After hearing this, He Yuzhu was shocked, but then his shock disappeared in an instant. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "No need to go. We finally escaped from that family circle. Meeting them at this time may cause her old illness to relapse."

"That's true, Master He. You've just gotten married, so there's no need to get entangled again. I'll go back first. I came to see you for this matter."

After saying that, Liu Lan waved her hand and prepared to leave. He Yuzhu also stood up and said with a smile, "How about I accompany you? I can go and ask the director if there are any leaders who need to accompany you tonight for dinner."

"Director He, you are such a joker. Let's go together." Liu Lan said jokingly.

"Oh, it's better to call the old lady Master He or Shazhu. I'm a little uncomfortable hearing Director He call me that." He said quickly.

The two of them walked towards the kitchen together.

On the way, Liu Lan turned her head and smiled at He Yuzhu: "I really envy your job. Being able to work in the kitchen and read newspapers and drink tea is simply a cadre-level enjoyment."

"Sister Liu, you're joking. I like to be busy and fulfilled every day. I feel that time goes by faster. Otherwise, if no one invites us to dinner, I would like to help out in the kitchen, but with so many capable people like you here, I really can't be of much use." He Yuzhu responded with a wry smile.

He was not lying. Before he traveled through time, the company offered him two positions to choose from: one was to work in the office as a manager, and the other was to work in the market as a salesperson. It was precisely because he did not want to be an idle office clerk and was fed up with the mechanical life of waiting for the clock to go off that he chose the sales path without hesitation. He gladly accepted the job even if it meant working in the rain or shine, just for the freedom of working without having to punch in from nine to five.

Liu Lan laughed out loud after hearing this, then rolled her eyes and said, "Don't be ungrateful for what you have. Before, you smelled the fumes in the kitchen every day, and your monthly salary was only 37 yuan. Now, you get the salary of a second-level cook every month. When the boss comes to the restaurant, you cook for him. When you have nothing to do, you rest in the office. This is a good job that many people envy. You have to believe that among the tens of thousands of people in the factory, if they can choose, most people will choose your current position."

At this point, Liu Lan felt a little sad. "I believe, of course I believe, not only for the current salary, but also for the position itself, there will be many people willing to choose." He Yuzhu understood that his statement was a manifestation of Versailles in Liu Lan's eyes.

"That's right, who doesn't want to relax?" Liu Lan rolled her eyes again and said. "That's right, Sister Lan is right." He Yuzhu agreed, "By the way, Mr. Li, the deputy director, is very powerful in the factory, why don't you try to change your position in front of him?" he asked.

As for her current position as an assistant, Liu Lan has no room for advancement. Apart from a fixed salary increase based on seniority every year, she sees no future. Even if she works until death, her salary is only around 38 yuan, which is not something she can look forward to. When He Yuzhu raised the question, a hint of hatred flashed across Liu Lan's eyes, and then she shook her head slightly and whispered, "Want to make him change? Wake up. I don't know which woman he has fallen for recently, and he is ignoring me. I guess it's because my dad was sick last time and I went to him to ask for money, which made him angry, or he wants to find a reason to replace me."

This surprised He Yuzhu, because these plots did not happen in the original work. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "If you are really unhappy, Sister Lan, you can consider learning to cook with me. If you follow me seriously, at most two or three years, you will be rated as a level 27 cook, and it is possible to get a monthly salary of 5 yuan like Ma Hua."

In the steel mill, Liu Lan was stunned for a moment when she heard He Yuzhu's suggestion, and then she was moved. She looked up and confirmed that He Yuzhu was not joking before nodding in response. "Forget it, don't learn cooking anymore. Forget it, being an assistant is not bad. My brother will be an adult next year, and then it will be his turn to bear the housework and pressure."

He Yuzhu sensed fatigue in her words. If he were his former self before the time travel, he would probably give her a comforting hug. "That's fine. If you have any learning needs, just tell me." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

According to the original text, Liu Lan did live well later and found a new partner, and her husband treated her well. While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the kitchen. After Liu Lan finished her work, He Yuzhu began to teach Ma Hua cooking skills. Every day, the most tired person was Ma Hua. Since he joined hands with He Yuzhu, except for lunch break, he spent most of his time working hard.

As the day passed, with no one ordering food, He Yuzhu was in a good mood. As the end of the get off work day approached, he planned to leave. Ten minutes before the end of the get off work day, Zhou Hui quickly rushed into the kitchen, looking a little disappointed, and complained to He Yuzhu: "Director, in order to buy potatoes, I have contacted all the cooperatives and even visited all the major markets in the city, but I still can't purchase enough stocks. I even visited the Pigeon Market, but I still need at least 8000 kilograms of potatoes to get through the Spring Festival."
