Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

The third canteen.

He Yuzhu was lying on a lazy chair, drinking tea and reading a book, feeling leisurely and comfortable.

"Deputy Director He, are you reading a book?"

A sudden voice suddenly sounded beside him, which frightened He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu looked up and saw that it was Director Yang's secretary Bai Feng.

He Yuzhu hurriedly stood up and greeted enthusiastically: "Secretary Bai, please take a seat!"

Bai Feng did not sit down, but looked at the book in He Yuzhu's hand with a smile.

He Yuzhu smiled and explained, "Secretary Bai, I'm attending night school, and this is the book the school gave me."

Bai Feng hurriedly explained: "Deputy Director He, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to laugh at you. On the contrary, I admire your pursuit of progress..."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Secretary Bai, you are too kind. By the way, do you have any guests to entertain today?"

Secretary Bai shook his head and said, "No, the factory director wants to see you for something!"

"The director wants to see me for something? Then let's go quickly and don't keep him waiting!" He Yuzhu said seriously.

Secretary Bai nodded slightly, then walked out of the cafeteria first, and He Yuzhu hurriedly followed.

A moment later, the two arrived at the factory director's office.

"Boom!"

"Please come in!"

He Yuzhu entered the room and found Yang Xinmin was reviewing documents.

Yang Xinmin looked up and saw that the person coming was He Yuzhu, and smiled and said, "Zhuzi, please sit down first and wait for me for a while. I will be ready soon."

He Yuzhu said respectfully: "Director, you are busy!"

"Xiao Feng, help me make a cup of tea for Zhuzi!"

"Okay, leader!"

About ten minutes later, Yang Xinmin signed all the documents and handed them to Bai Feng. Bai Feng took the documents, then left the room and closed the door considerately.

Yang Xinmin looked at He Yuzhu and said politely, "Zhuzi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

He Yuzhu said modestly: "Director, judging from what you said, you are busy with important matters. Isn't it reasonable for me to wait for you for a while?"

Yang Xinmin nodded slightly, and then said: "Zhu Zi, I asked you to come here today mainly because I want to trouble you with something."

He Yuzhu said in a slightly flattering tone, "It's no trouble at all. Director, if you have anything to say, please tell me as soon as possible."

Yang Xinmin nodded with satisfaction and said seriously: "Zhu Zi, I'm going to meet my old leader this afternoon. My old leader is from Sichuan Province. I know you are good at Sichuan cuisine, so I would like to trouble you to cook a meal."

He Yuzhu was overjoyed when he heard this, because the old leader Yang Xinmin mentioned was the big leader.

The big leader was his benefactor in his previous life, who had helped him a lot. It was also because of the gramophone he gave him that he and Lou Xiao'e had a brief romance.

Moreover, this big leader had a gentle personality and did not have any airs of a big leader, nor did he look down on him just because he was a cook.

In his previous life, he got along very well with the big boss and became chess friends with whom he could talk about anything.

Now that he could see his big boss again, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel excited.

He Yuzhu was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He said softly, "Hey, I thought it was something else. Isn't it just cooking a meal? No problem at all!"

Hearing this, Yang Xinmin raised his lips and said seriously, "Zhu Zi, I have to tell you something. My old leader is not ordinary. You just need to cook. Don't say too much or ask too many questions."

He Yuzhu said seriously, "Don't worry, Director. My master has taught me since I was a child that we cooks should only focus on making the meals well. We should not ask or say anything else."

Yang Xinmin was surprised, and then praised: "Zhu Zi, your master is definitely a chef with virtue and accomplishments!"

He Yuzhu showed admiration in his eyes and said proudly: "Director, you have a keen eye. My master is indeed a great chef. He not only taught me cooking skills, but also taught me a lot about life."

"Director, I would like to ask, how many tables of dishes do you need to prepare tonight?"

“One table is enough!”

"Do you need me to go shopping?"

"No need, the leader's house has ready-made ingredients, you can just follow me when the time comes."

"Okay, Director, you're busy, I'll go down first."

"Ok!"

After leaving the factory director's office, He Yuzhu pursed his lips and complained in his heart: "This Yang Xinmin is far worse than Li Huaide in dealing with people. After get off work, he went to help your old boss cook. This is fucking helping you do private things, but you didn't show any appreciation at all."

"Look at Li Huaide, he gave money and bills, unlike you who is so stingy."

"Following Li Huaide, I can eat meat, but following you, I can't even drink soup. Even a fool knows which choice to make. No wonder this guy can't beat Li Huaide."

"With this EQ, if it weren't for the old leader protecting him, he would have been driven out long ago."

In the blink of an eye, the bell for the end of get off work rang.

He Yuzhu didn't waste a moment. He took his textbooks and a bottle of sesame paste, got on his bicycle, and left the steel mill.

The reason why He Yuzhu brought a bottle of sesame paste was because he had memories of his past life and knew that the big leader’s family had no sesame paste, and that he would have an unpleasant argument with the leader’s wife because of the sesame paste.

This is the good thing about being reborn: all the losses and deceptions in the previous life can be avoided in this life.

As soon as He Yuzhu walked out of the steel rolling mill, Yang Xinmin stuck his head out of a green pickup truck and waved to him.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu immediately walked up.

Yang Xinmin smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, leave your bicycle at the factory and come with me."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Director, I'd better go by bike! If I take the bus with you, I'll have to walk home."

Yang Xinmin laughed and scolded: "Who told you to walk home? I can send a car to take you home!"

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "No, that would be too much trouble for you!"

"Besides, even if you take me home tonight, I still have to walk to work tomorrow, so I'd rather ride a bike."

Yang Xinmin smiled and said, "I can also ask the driver to pick you up for work tomorrow morning!"

He Yuzhu shook his head again and said, "Director, there's really no need to go through so much trouble. Just drive away, I can catch up with you."

Yang Xinmin did not insist any more and turned to the driver and said, "Xiao Wang, drive a little slower."

About fifteen minutes later, the pickup truck stopped in front of a detached courtyard house.

He Yuzhu also saw Xu Damao carrying a movie projector in front of the door.

Xu Damao also saw He Yuzhu and asked in surprise, "Silly Zhu, why are you here too?"

He Yuzhu said coldly: "If a big fool like you can come, why can't I come?"

Xu Damao's eyes flashed with anger when he heard this, and then he said, "Silly Zhu, I get it. You are here to serve people and cook for them."

He Yuzhu said calmly: "I am indeed here to cook, aren't you here to show people movies?"

"We both serve the leader, how can you be more noble than me?"
