Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

Director Yang deliberately frowned and said, "Hey, you went to Lu and Lu's place, so you don't recognize our Red Star Factory, right?"

"Director Yang, you are too serious.

Our Red Star Factory has a lot of business, so we naturally have a lot of waste materials. What’s important is to use the good resources reasonably. We can’t just use force from the beginning, right?”

Director Yang laughed out loud and was very pleased with Ye Chuan's words.

"What an amazing child! No wonder Mr. Xu thinks highly of you, saying that you have ideas, aspirations, love of learning, and are a young man with a promising future.

"Ye Chuan replied modestly: "Mr. Xu, you are praising me too much. I am just a little clever.

"

Director Yang nodded slightly and said, "The last time I had dinner with Mr. Xu, he said he missed your company.

"

"I really want to visit Mr. Xu, but he is very busy and cannot be disturbed often.

"Ye Chuan expressed his apologies.

During their conversation, Fatty Han felt a little sleepy, but he forced himself not to yawn and could only sit there bored.

Director Yang was deeply impressed by Ye Chuan's neither humble nor arrogant attitude. He was able to remain calm in the director's office, so Mr. Xu naturally valued him very much.

"Xiao Ye, what do you think of the recycling company?" Director Yang asked in a soothing tone.

Ye Chuan replied: "The scale of the factory is beyond my previous expectations. The factory is well-organized and has indeed reached an excellent standard under your leadership.

But I am not here for the long term. With my ability and talent, it seems a bit underutilized to work in a recycling company."

Facing Director Yang's invitation, Ye Chuan hesitated and declined, "Director Yang's kindness is hard to refuse, I sincerely thank you.

But now that I have joined the recycling company, I must do my best from start to finish. No matter where I work, my goal is always to serve the people and contribute to the country.

When I have more success in my profession, maybe I will consider your suggestion again! "

Director Yang's proposal was not a sudden whim; he really wanted to retain talent.

I thought that after I said this, Ye Chuan would definitely agree immediately.

In his eyes, compared to the recycling company, Ye Chuan is obviously more suitable to go to the larger Red Star Steel Plant, and to work in a branch there instead of the head office, where the conditions are much worse.

Director Yang had never expected Ye Chuan to refuse.

Fatty Han was surprised. If it were him, he would definitely choose the steel plant without hesitation.

What on earth was this kid thinking? Staying here to collect scrap?

With a sigh, Director Yang laughed and said, "It seems that Mr. Xu's admiration is not without reason. I have begun to respect people like you!"

Ye Chuan smiled gently, knowing that if he went to work in a steel mill, his ability to repair systems would not be fully utilized.

In a recycling company, handling personal matters does not conflict with daily work.

But in a steel mill, even if you are officially employed, you will only receive a salary of a few dozen yuan per month, and your life still depends on the occasional sumptuous meal per month, and the system efficiency will be wasted invisibly.

His most ideal option at the moment is to develop in a material recycling company.

With his outstanding performance, Director Tang and the head office will sooner or later notice him.

The factory manager graciously gave up lobbying and the topic turned to small talk.

Seeing that Ye Chuan was thinking about going home, he took the initiative to persuade him to stay: "Xiao Ye, don't go back for lunch, just try the cooking of our factory chefs in the factory cafeteria.

"

Ye Chuan, who was in no hurry to leave, readily agreed.

Coincidentally, the office director Du Xiaotao came to report on his work and was stopped before leaving.

"Xiao Du, our loading team is in need of a captain. Go to the personnel department and inform them to let Old Ye take the position.

Director Yang ordered.

Du Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to come to his senses. There was indeed a worker named Ye Yongshun in the loading team.

Although he didn't understand the factory director's decision, how could he disobey the factory's instructions, so he nodded in response.

To arrange such a small matter, there was no need to formally notify the Human Resources Department. Du Xiaotao went to the assembly workshop and found the deputy director in charge of loading and unloading.

As soon as Deputy Director Gao saw Director Du, he came up to him and started complaining.

“Director Du, the daily workload of our loading and unloading team is really too heavy, and the vacancy of the team leader has seriously affected the efficiency.

It's just a team leader position, is the factory really unwilling to consider a new person in charge? " Du Xiaotao said with a smile.

“Oh? What did the factory say?” Deputy Manager Gao asked doubtfully.

"The factory has decided to let Ye Yongshun take the position!" Du Xiaotao replied and left the assembly workshop.

Looking at Du Xiaotao's receding figure, Deputy Manager Gao was full of doubts.

Ye Yongshun is just an inconspicuous team leader. How could he be the candidate chosen by the factory director himself?

He and Ye Yongshun have worked together for many years, and he has never heard of any special connection between the two, otherwise Ye Yongshun would not have been just an ordinary porter for more than ten years.

Although he didn't understand, he didn't dare to disobey Director Yang's orders and prepared to tell Lao Ma and Ye Yongshun the news.

In Director Yang's office, Ye Chuan sat with a smile on his face. It was exactly as he had guessed: the other party chose his father to be the captain in order to get closer to him.

"Director Yang, the Old Ye you mentioned just now is my father?" Ye Chuan asked for confirmation.

Director Yang said, "That's right.

I understand that your father has worked here for many years and has been very dedicated.

It just so happened that we needed a loading and unloading team captain, so we thought of arranging him to come in.

"

Ye Chuan smiled gratefully and thanked him: "Thank you for your concern, Director.

I will express my gratitude to you on behalf of my father."

The factory manager waved his hand to indicate that it was a trivial matter.

It didn't seem like much to him, but it meant a lot to everyone in the loading team.

There are dozens or even hundreds of porters, all of whom are front-line workers. Everyone wants to compete for the position of team leader, increase their subsidies and reduce their labor.

It was past noon when we walked into the rest area, and people were sitting around smoking and chatting.

Seeing the deputy manager coming, everyone stood up to greet him, but he waved his hand to ask everyone to stay, and announced with a smile: "I have something to tell you.

The position of captain has been vacant for a long time. From today on, Comrade Ye Yongshun will take over. "

Everyone was wondering in their hearts whether this was a joke.

Ye Yongshun had been working for a long time and was taciturn, so how did he suddenly become the team leader? They still remembered clearly that the security department had found out about Ye Yongshun some time ago. Although it turned out to be correct, it inevitably brought a negative impression.

Captain Ma, who had a good relationship with Ye Yongshun, was the first to applaud.

Ye Yongshun looked at the deputy manager blankly, unable to understand why he suddenly became the team leader. He was so nervous that he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time: "I... I will work hard and live up to the expectations of the leader..." His face was getting redder and redder.

Ye Chuan was invited to stay and have lunch with Director Yang and Fatty Han.

When the three of them walked into the factory cafeteria, someone in the crowd said in surprise, "Uncle, the young man who just entered the cafeteria with the factory director is Ye Chuan from our yard."

In Room 99, Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu as if she were a fool, with a look of disdain on his face: "How is it possible! Even I am not qualified to have dinner with Director Yang, how can Ye Chuan have this opportunity?"

Qin Huairu questioned: "But that person really looks like Ye Chuan!"

Yi Zhonghai said nonchalantly: "Ye Chuan doesn't work in the factory at all, it's impossible for him to appear here."

When the two of them were lining up for the cafeteria, they happened to catch a glimpse of Ye Yongshun in the queue, and he couldn't help but look at him with a bit of contempt.

A group of porters nearby cheered, "Captain Ye, you must treat us!"

They were looking forward to celebrating his success and the scene was lively.

Several people from the moving team urged Ye Yongshun loudly.

"Of course, I will treat everyone to a meal after the subsidy comes!" Ye Yongshun smiled heartily.

Hearing the title "Captain Ye", Yi Zhonghai was a little puzzled, wondering when Ye Yongshun was promoted to captain.

Another porter next to him took the initiative to answer: "This morning, Director Du came to the workshop in person to announce that Brother Ye will become the new captain of our porter team."

When it comes to "Director Yang's order", Yi Zhonghai feels mixed emotions. Although it is just an appointment as a moving team leader, it is somewhat ironic for Ye Yongshun who just talked back to him.

He thought that Director Yang might be using this opportunity to appease Ye Yongshun, but he didn't seem to have heard of any friendship between the two of them.

"This person is really incapable of accomplishing anything, and always causes trouble!" he thought to himself.

Everyone in the factory, including the three people in the cafeteria box - Director Yang, Qin Huairu, and Security Section Chief Yu Zeyi - they all realized that this appointment would inevitably cause a lot of speculation.

Director Yang knew this very well, but he did not take it seriously. He thought it was just a small position and it was unlikely to cause much trouble.

As the dishes came up one by one, Director Yang would proudly explain each new dish to Ye Chuan.

However, Ye Chuan keenly noticed that those dishes were cooked by Master Zhuzi.

The cooking skills of today's young people are still a little unfamiliar and slightly inferior to those in the past, but the taste still retains the Tan family flavor.

Although Zhuzi's skills are advanced, he has a fatal flaw - he curries favor with the powerful.

"Xiao Ye, how do you think the cooking skills compare to the Xu family's?" asked Director Yang.

Hearing this, Ye Chuan smiled and said, “The food is delicious and the cooking skills are just right. It is worthy of being a state-owned enterprise.

but……"

Director Yang listened attentively: "But what?"

Ye Chuan continued, "Although this chef has mastered many essentials, he is still childish.

My guess is correct, he is probably no more than twenty-five years old?"

This insight surprised Director Yang and was simply amazing.

He can accurately judge the chef's age by tasting a few chopsticks of food. He is worthy of being praised by Mr. Xu as a gourmet expert.

Yu Zeyi, a man who had always been satisfied with just having meat to celebrate the New Year, was even more shocked. Ye Chuan's knowledge was beyond his imagination and was unbelievable.

Facing the food in front of him, Director Yang tasted it himself but didn't find it "immature". He couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked, "How did you figure out so many things, Xiaoye?"

"Ye Chuan had a sly smile on his face, and then explained: 'Because... I am the neighbor and the silly pillar in the culinary world.

'“

This made Director Yang and Du Xiaotao sigh in their hearts, this guy is so bad!

Director Yang couldn't help but have a new question in his mind: "Are you two on good terms?"

"Not very good. Even though we live close to each other, there are some unpleasant pasts between us," Ye Chuan told the truth frankly.

"But how do you know that this dish was made by Sha Zhu? You know there are more than 20 chefs in our factory cafeteria," the factory manager continued to ask.

Ye Chuan lit a circle of cigarettes, then passed them to the two of them, lit one for himself, took a deep puff, and began to answer: "Although Sha Zhu is young, he is already the heir of Tan's cuisine, and he has inherited the teachings of his father He Da, and he became a master many years ago.

It’s no accident that he became the chief chef of our factory.

"

Hearing this, the factory manager nodded in agreement, but still couldn’t dispel his doubts: “It can be seen that you care about the food selection in the factory cafeteria. Usually your masterpieces are the standard.

As the only heir of Tan's cuisine, Sha Zhu's appearance immediately attracted people's attention and made the canteen's dishes unique. "

The distance between them became closer, and Director Yang couldn't help laughing.

Although Ye Chuan's joke was simple, he cleverly used humor to enhance understanding.

He admired the man in front of him who had meticulous analysis and clear thinking. He was truly a treasure among men!

For Yu Zeyi, he was even more amazed that Ye Yongshun, a simple and silent man, actually had a son with such a sharp mind.

Everyone had to go to work in the afternoon, so the factory manager did not drink, but made a pot of good tea instead.

After the meal, as a few people were walking and chatting in the private room, only a few people were left in the cafeteria.

When Ye Chuan was chatting with the factory manager, he inadvertently saw his father and several colleagues gathered in a corner.

Ye Yongshun used to go back to the rest area after dinner, but having just been promoted to team leader, he was now happily chatting with his acquaintances, forgetting all about time.

When they walked out of the box, they happened to meet Ye Yongshun and others' eyes, and they were extremely surprised: why did the young man who was talking loudly with the factory director look like their son?

"Captain Lao Ye, isn't that Chuan'er?" The captain surnamed Ma swallowed and asked Ye Yongshun.

"I think so too!" Ye Yongshun looked incredulous.

There were four men at the table. The other two did not know Ye Chuan and did not understand why they were staring at him so much.

"Director, I saw my dad. Please wait a moment, I'll go say hello," Ye Chuan said to Director Yang.

Director Yang smiled and said, “Well, go ahead.

"

He walked up to his father and said, "Dad, have you finished eating? Hello, Uncle Ma, it's been a long time.

"

"You are Chuan...is it really you?" Captain Ma asked in surprise. He is Ye Yongshun's friend and has met Ye Chuan several times.

"Absolutely right!" Ye Chuan replied with a warm smile.

"Kid, why... are you here?" Ye Yongshun was so shocked that his words were unclear.

"I came here for some business, and then the factory manager treated me to lunch, that's all," Ye Chuan explained.

Hearing this, Ye Yongshun nodded blankly, "Yeah." Then he said, "Chuan'er, you are busy, and we will talk about it in detail when we get home tonight."

After Ye Chuan left, Ye Yongshun looked at his son's back and seemed to understand something. He asked Captain Ma, "Captain, could that position be Chuan'er's network of connections?"

Captain Ma agreed: "It is very likely, yes."
