Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

This is a bit confusing.

But Li Huaide immediately understood what Director Yang meant.

The environment in this era was not as troublesome as in later generations. Most of the time, people just said what they wanted to say. The position of factory director is important, but it is also not important. The factory belongs to the workers.

For more ambitious people, the factory is just a stepping stone.

In fact, the so-called struggles have mostly followed one principle since ancient times.

That is fighting without breaking.

This law can be applied to any aspect of life.

From the trivial matters in the courtyard to the struggle between Li Huaide and Director Yang in the steel mill.

In the original novel, there is a scene where Xu Damao accompanied the leader to drink. After he got drunk, Sha Zhu tied Xu Damao up and lied that Xu Damao molested a female worker last night after getting drunk, and burned Xu Damao's pants. Later, Lou Xiao'e found out about this and wanted to make a fuss about it. As a result, the whole hospital held a meeting and it turned out that Xu Damao was sent to the security department.

At this time, Sha Zhu stood up and said that it was to take revenge on Xu Damao.

There was clearly an opportunity to kill Xu Damao in one go. Why did Sha Zhu suddenly stop when these two guys had been fighting for so many years?

You can think that this is the result of Shazhu's kind heart.

But the most fundamental reason is that the result of killing Xu Damao was not as good as imagined.

Lou Xiao'e may make a fuss, but she doesn't want Xu Damao to be convicted of hooliganism and shot. If Xu Damao really gets into trouble, Xu Damao's parents will only have one target, Sha Zhu. After all, these words came out of your mouth, so you have to be responsible for them.

The series of things that may happen afterwards are all consequences of "breaking".

You can fight, but you can't break.

Once it is broken, there will be no winners, only losers. Unless the situation has really reached a point where there is no way out, then this path of "killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of your own" will be chosen.

Li Huaide and Director Yang are in the same situation now.

The two of them can fight, and Li Huaide can find out through his own channels that the leader is coming, but he won't tell Director Yang.

But if Director Yang knew about this, then when the leader came, they would have to reach a temporary harmony.

Otherwise, the leader will be labeled as disunited, incompetent, etc. This label will be fatal to future promotions. Even if it can be erased, it will take a lot of time. This behavior is not cost-effective.

So, when Director Yang went directly to Li Huaide to confront him.

Li Huaide didn't intend to deny it either.

"Yes, I have prepared delicious food for the leader." Li Huaide smiled slightly, and with just one sentence, he wanted to set the dining location in his own territory.

"Director Li, this is not suitable." Director Yang said calmly, "Your third canteen has only been in operation for a few months. You have some experience but it is not enough. Don't neglect the leadership."

"Don't worry about that, Director Yang. How many months? Some things don't take months, a few days are enough." Li Huaide said with a hint of meaning: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Director Yang, for this matter."

When Director Yang heard this, he felt so angry that his heart was beating.

Originally, Li Huaide only had a certain status in this factory. After all, he was in charge of logistics and could get materials. Just this alone could earn him respect from many people. At this rate, he would be able to have his own say in the steel mill. But how long this would take was unknown. It would take at least one to two years.

Even though he became the deputy factory director, Director Yang had been working in the steel mill for so many years, but there were still only a minority of people who sided with him.

But the mysterious move of Director Yang not to entertain the director of the meat processing plant last time directly pushed some people to Li Huaide's side, and incidentally, the reputation of the company also declined. Of course, this was only circulated among the middle and senior management, and it did not spread far. But it was fatal enough.

He didn't think it was his own problem, he just thought it was Li Huaide's plan.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Li Huaide, if you insist on fighting with me, I will fight you to the end!"

Li Huaide: ...

He was a little speechless. This was not a pure young man.

However, he would not back down and said with a smile: "Okay, let's see how it goes."

Fighting without breaking is based on the premise that both parties have something to talk about. If there is no way to talk, or one party is even unwilling to pay anything and simply wants benefits, then there is no need to talk. Just break it directly.

Obviously, compared to Li Huaide.

The "breakage" incident caused a much greater loss to Director Yang.

"what on earth do you want!"

"Your cook is no good, come to my place for dinner."

"impossible!"

"Then there's nothing to discuss. Let the leader choose. It's no big deal." Li Huaide shrugged.

Director Yang's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Okay, okay, Li Huaide, you are great, I won't interfere in your affairs in a few days!"

"Heh." Li Huaide laughed: "Don't talk as if your intervention can change anything."

Li Huaide's words made Director Yang angry and helpless.

To some extent, what he said was right. What would happen if he intervened? He had no say in the appointment of the deputy director.

Seeing that Director Yang's cheeks were gradually turning red, Li Huaide decided to quit while he was ahead: "Let the chefs from the two canteens come to the third canteen. The scale is only four dishes and one soup, and each person has two dishes. It's not too much, right?"

"Okay, that's settled then." Director Yang didn't think much about it.

"It's settled then." Li Huaide was happy.

After all, Director Yang still lacks some foundation, or rather, he doesn't care what he eats at all.

As an old foodie, he had also eaten the dishes made by Sha Zhu in the Fifth Canteen. Compared with Cao Wei, it can only be said that they were at least two levels lower. The difference between them was obvious.

Director Yang didn't know the difference. He just thought that Li Huaide also wanted to show off.

He didn't care. After all, he was still the director of the steel mill. It didn't matter where they went to eat, but he couldn't be absent from the banquet. He was afraid that Li Huaide would take advantage of the meal to say bad things about him. That was all.

"Hmph, take care of yourself." After leaving behind these harsh words, Director Yang left.

"Ha. Director Yang, Director Yang." Li Huaide shook his head, turned around, put his hands behind his back, and went to arrange personnel.

As the saying goes, the boss has a big mouth and the subordinates have to work hard.

Fortunately, this matter was decided a few days ago, the materials in the warehouse were ready, and there were not too many people, so it only took a little effort to move them around.

But the problem will follow.
