Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month assessment day.

This time, there were six people from the cafeteria taking the assessment, three of whom were related to He Yuzhu.

The first one is He Yuzhu’s apprentice Ma Hua, who took part in the assessment for the eighth-level cook.

The other two are He Yuzhu's eighth junior brother Feng Zhuangfei and ninth junior brother Xiao Yichen. Both of them are taking the assessment for level seven cooks.

He Yuzhu was the only third-level cook in the factory and also the deputy director of the canteen, so he naturally became one of the examiners this time.

Other examiners include Li Huaide, Director of the Logistics Department, Ma Guangfu, Director of the Canteen, and Sun Daqiang, Monitor of the First Canteen.

Sun Daqiang is a level 6 cook and an old employee of the cafeteria, so he is indeed qualified to serve as an examiner.

Sun Daqiang has much more seniority in the canteen than He Yuzhu. He entered the steel rolling mill earlier than his father He Daqing. If He Yuzhu had not emerged as a third-level cook, the position of deputy director of the canteen would have been his.

Sun Daqiang did not have many complaints about the position of deputy director of the canteen being taken away. On the one hand, he was not very ambitious and was only interested in improving his cooking skills. On the other hand, he was convinced by He Yuzhu's cooking skills and kept clamoring to be his apprentice.

Sun Daqiang was over 50 years old, older than his father, so he naturally would not accept him as his apprentice. However, he often gave him guidance, so the other party respected him very much.

If he can be promoted to canteen director this time, the deputy canteen director will definitely be Sun Daqiang.

Sun Daqiang now listens to her and when they both get promoted, the steel mill canteen will become a place where He Yuzhu has the final say.

Not surprisingly, Ma Hua, Feng Zhuangfei and Xiao Yichen all passed the assessment and obtained their dream cook level.

In the afternoon, the Logistics Department held a meeting under the chairmanship of Li Huaide.

The Logistics Department has a total of eight departments: Procurement Department, Dormitory Management Department, Security Department, Vehicle Management Department, Environmental Management Department, Plumbing and Electrical Management Department, Real Estate Management Department, and Canteen Management Department.

The most lucrative department among them is naturally the Purchasing Department, which is mainly responsible for the purchase of office supplies and canteen ingredients. One can imagine how lucrative it is. The chief and deputy chief of the Purchasing Department are both Li Huaide's absolute confidants.

The Security and Protection Section should be the most powerful department in the Logistics Department, mainly responsible for the safety of the factory and workers and preventing enemy spies.

The security guards in the security department are all veterans who have retired from the battlefield. They all have guns in their hands. The security department fully investigates everyone in the factory, including the party secretary and the factory director.

The Dormitory Management Department is mainly responsible for the arrangement and management of factory dormitories. Although it sounds very impressive, it actually does not have much real power.

Because there is only one five-story dormitory for more than 20,000 workers in the steel rolling mill, many workers have local Beijing household registration and have their own residences in Beijing, and few people live in factory dormitories.

The Property Management Section is the department that manages the properties of the steel rolling mill. This department is very powerful because the steel rolling mill has a lot of properties. Most of the properties in the courtyard house No. 95 where He Yuzhu lives belong to the steel rolling mill. For this reason, the steel rolling mill can arrange for workers to live in courtyard house No. 95.

The Vehicle Management Department is mainly responsible for the use and maintenance of vehicles in the factory and is also a powerful department.

To put it simply, the Environmental Management Department is responsible for the cleanliness and sanitation of the factory, such as cleaning toilets, cleaning the factory area, etc.

The Plumbing and Electrical Management Section is mainly responsible for the normal supply of water, electricity and gas throughout the factory, as well as the daily maintenance, repair and renovation, and emergency repair of its equipment and facilities.

I won't go into detail about the Canteen Management Section, which is responsible for managing the 15 canteens in the factory and providing workers with three meals a day. He Yuzhu is the second-in-command of the Canteen Management Section and the deputy director of the Canteen.

A small conference room was filled with people. Those attending the meeting were the top leaders of each department. He Yuzhu and Ma Guangfu sat in the middle position on the right.

After Li Huaide finished his opening remarks, he asked the heads of each department to report on the situation of their department.

Soon it was the canteen management department's turn. Perhaps in order to train He Yuzhu, Ma Guangfu took the initiative to ask He Yuzhu to report on his work.

He Yuzhu did not delay and reported the situation in the cafeteria without haste. Then he said, "Director, there is a problem in the cafeteria that needs to be solved urgently. That is to select the monitors of the third and fifteenth cafeterias."

Li Huaide looked at He Yuzhu with a smile and said in a gentle voice, "Deputy Director He, do you have any recommendations for the two canteen monitors?"

"Cough cough!"

He Yuzhu coughed twice and said seriously, "Director, I recommend people who are worthy of their kinship. For the monitor of the third cafeteria, I recommend my apprentice Ma Hua."

"Ma Hua has been learning cooking from me for seven years. He now has 70% of my cooking skills. He is fully capable of serving as the monitor of the third canteen."

Li Huaide pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I know that young man Ma Hua. He is a level 8 cook. His cooking skills are really good and he is honest and hardworking. He will be the monitor of the third canteen."

He Yuzhu was delighted, "Thank you, Director!"

Li Huaide waved his hand and said, "Why thank me? I am just promoting talents according to the rules and regulations."

"The monitor of the third cafeteria has been solved. Who do you recommend for the monitor of the fifteenth cafeteria?"

He Yuzhu said calmly, "Director, I recommend Feng Zhuangfei and Xiao Yichen. They are both level 7 cooks. They are the talents that our canteen has finally found. If we don't pay attention to them, they are likely to become disloyal."

Li Huaide said calmly: "We should really value talents like this, but there are two of them, and there is only one vacant position for the canteen monitor. How should we choose?"

He Yuzhu pretended to be distressed and said, "Yes, if I choose Feng Zhuangfei, Xiao Yichen will have objections. If I choose Xiao Yichen, Feng Zhuangfei will have objections. It's impossible for them to draw lots, right?"

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, a burst of laughter was heard in the conference room.

Ma Guangfu suddenly said, "Director, I have an idea."

Li Huaide raised his eyebrows and asked, "What method?"

Ma Guangfu smiled and said, "Isn't the squad leader of the 8th canteen, Lao Qian, going to retire on the 5th of next month? We can let him retire five days early, so there will be a vacant squad leader position, right?"

"This is indeed a good idea. It's settled!" Li Huaide made the final decision.

He Yuzhu immediately flattered him, "Director, you are wise!"

"Director is wise!"

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, the others began to flatter him, and Li Huaide's old face was broken into laughter.

After the meeting, He Yuzhu couldn't wait to return to the third canteen.

Everyone knew that He Yuzhu had returned from a meeting and must have something important to announce, so they immediately surrounded him.

He Yuzhu looked at Ma Hua and said with a smile: "Ma Hua, congratulations, from today on, you are the monitor of the third cafeteria."

Hearing this, Ma Hua was extremely excited and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for your cultivation, Master!"

As Ma Hua spoke, he bowed respectfully to He Yuzhu.
