Siheyuan, a primordial wonderland

Deputy Director Li is indeed the Deputy Director Li that Chen Ping remembered...

He was very efficient and decisive in doing things. Before the steel factory closed for the day, Deputy Director Li called Chen Ping.

When the two arrived at the small cafeteria, there were already several people sitting there.

However, although there are several people sitting there, the identities of these people are very easy to distinguish!

Deputy Director Li said to Chen Ping...

"Come here, Chen Ping, let me introduce you to this man, Director Jiang of the glass factory, who is our steel mill's partner...

Don't underestimate Director Jiang!

Director Jiang was only 30 years old when he became the director of the glass factory. He must be very capable!"

When Chen Ping heard Deputy Director Li's words with a hint of meaning, he instantly knew what Deputy Director Li wanted to express...

Director Jiang has a strong backing!

The connections that allowed him to become the director of a factory at the age of 30 must be extremely strong, right?

"Haha, hello, Director Jiang, I am a purchaser in the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill. If you need any supplies in the future, you can come to me. I will definitely not let you down!"

Sitting next to him, the somewhat polite and bespectacled glass factory director Jiang was looking at Chen Ping with a slightly scrutinizing gaze...

If he and Deputy Director Li were not from the same faction, given his status, he would not come to meet with a buyer from the purchasing department.

Yes, Director Jiang and Deputy Director Li are from the same faction.

It is normal to have factions in this newly liberated country.

For example, conservatives and radicals are the most important components of a country.

"Haha, since Brother Li introduced me, you can call me Brother Jiang from now on!"

After hearing this, Chen naturally stopped putting on airs.

The first thing he said was a friendly, "Brother Jiang..."

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire private room was full of energy?

Deputy Director Li looked at the two men and felt that they were almost familiar with each other, so he turned his gaze to the other few people.

Then, he said to Chen Ping...

“Come on, you may not know these people here, but you must get to know them.

He is the president and management of your commune!"

Deputy Director Li did not introduce the names of the people. After all, today's dinner was said to be set up for Chen Ping, but it could also be said that Deputy Director Li was expressing a meaning to everyone...

The person standing behind Chen Ping is him. You need to cooperate with him if anything happens.

These people would naturally not be ungrateful, so the people from the commune also stood up hurriedly and greeted Chen Ping...

After everyone got to know each other, they all sat down...

At this time, Liu Lan, who was standing at the door and was somewhat shocked, saw this situation and hurried in, bent down and whispered in the ear of Deputy Director Li...

"Is it time to serve the food?"

Deputy Director Li did not say anything, but just smiled and nodded.

As Liu Lan has been hanging out with Deputy Director Li for many years, she naturally understands his intentions.

Then he turned around and left. After a while, Liu Lan and a little fat man came up with dishes...

As the two people brought in the dishes, a rich aroma immediately filled the entire private room.

Even Chen Ping, who was used to the taste of the 21st century, couldn't help but take a closer look at the dishes they brought...

A chicken stewed with mushrooms, a twice-cooked pork, a Maoxuewang, and something that looks like pork liver!

Don’t blame Chen Ping for being ignorant. You may have eaten many dishes before they were even cooked, but you still don’t recognize him!

"Haha, everyone, pick up your chopsticks. Don't be polite. This is made by our factory's chef, Sha Zhu. Please give us your opinions."

Hearing this, everyone naturally wouldn't be polite. I don't know if Chen Ping was envious or not, but everyone present, including Deputy Director Li and Director Jiang, were drooling!

Don’t blame them for not having eaten anything good. They haven’t had many good meals since the second half of this year.

In the past, I could live a luxurious life just by relying on my status!

But during this period of time, even if you have money, you can’t buy those good things.

As for the things on their desk, most of them were purchased by Chen Ping...

Everyone started to pick up their chopsticks. After Director Jiang tasted a bite, he also praised Deputy Director Li...

"Brother Li, the chef in your factory is really good. The taste is almost as good as that in a big restaurant."

"Haha, Brother Jiang, just for this point, I have to praise you. It seems that you are also a person who knows how to eat."

"Haha, Brother Li, you sound like you're not the same..."

Watching the two people joking there, Chen Ping also smiled.

He didn't feel nervous at all, but the commune staff next to him did look a little restrained at this moment!

Most of these commune personnel were promoted from rural areas. Although they were cadres, they were actually genuine farmers.

They are extremely unwilling to deal with these big factories.

But they couldn't just sit there and ignore Deputy Director Li's invitation, so they had no choice but to come here.

But the topic they were talking about was something they couldn't continue the conversation with, which made it a bit awkward.

As a veteran at the drinking table, Deputy Director Li would naturally not let the atmosphere on the scene cool down like this...

Deputy Director Li smiled and picked up the wine on the table, and said to the group of commune leaders and many members...

"Come on, President Zhang, I'll toast you a glass..."

Seeing that Deputy Factory Director Li actually toasted him, Zhang Weimin, the head of the Red Star Commune, was naturally flattered. He quickly picked up the wine on the table and stood up...

"Director Li, you are joking. How can I expect you to respect me?

I should be the one respecting you."

"Here, I'll drink this cup...

You are free to..."

After saying this, Zhang Weimin drank a glass of wine.

His face turned red instantly.

Seeing this, Deputy Director Li drank it all in one gulp.

"Well, as Deputy Director Li's younger brother, Director Jiang will naturally join in the fun..."

Chen Ping also clapped and praised.

As they ate and drank, more dishes were served. After a while, a dozen exquisite dishes were placed on the empty table...

After a while, when everyone had almost finished eating, Sha Zhu, the chef, came in personally carrying the last dish, which could be said to be a soup.

Liu Lan and the fat boy who were standing outside the door did not stop Sha Zhu.

Because we have been working together for so many years, I naturally know that this is Shazhu’s rule!

No matter what kind of banquet it is, Sha Zhu will personally serve the last dish on the table...

First, you can use it to get to know some people.

Second, you can see whether the dishes you cook are popular.

"Haha, did you guys enjoy your meal?"

Hearing these words, everyone turned their eyes to Sha Zhu.

You have to know that everyone in this small cafeteria today, except Chen Ping, is either a leader or a cadre. It can be said that this is a small network of relationships.

And Sha Zhu also learned about this information in advance, so he came to greet and make friends...

"Come here, everyone. There is one last soup to help you get rid of the greasy feeling."

Sha Zhu said as he placed the bowl of soup on the table.

"Silly Zhu, the dishes you cooked today taste better than before. Didn't you use your cooking skills well before?"

"Haha, Director Li, this is not my fault. The canteen has had a lot of food recently, so I practiced a little bit and my cooking skills have improved!"
