Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

"Sister Yuru, where is my brother Zhuzi? I brought people over for dinner and wanted him to cook something delicious."

He Lai walked into the kitchen and asked, Qin Yuru looked confused and said she didn't know, Sha Zhu didn't return to the kitchen today.

"Well, Uncle Master, Master has gone with Grandmaster Li to look for Deputy Director Li, and they haven't come back yet. How about you wait in the lounge first?"

Ma Hua came up to answer the question. After all, he knew that He Lai was the person his master valued the most.

"Okay, I got it. You go and get busy." He Lai waved his hand and went out.

Back to the cafeteria dining table, he took Zhang Zhiwen to the lounge.

"What's wrong? Is the chef not here?" Zhang Zhiwen asked, seeing He Lai seemed to be thinking about something.

"Yes, I went to talk to the deputy factory director." He Lai answered and started thinking again.

He Daqing probably wants to return to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Given Deputy Director Li's personality, he should give him a good position. After all, who would want a good chef to join the factory? Only a lazy person like He Daqing would do that.

In this way, Shazhu's road to promotion is blocked.

Just when He Lai was lost in thought, Sha Zhu came over.

"Xiao Laizi, do you want me to cook for you?" Sha Zhu came over with a smile?

"Oh? Xiao Laizi?" Zhang Zhiwen said with a smile, just looking at He Lai.

He Lai was instantly embarrassed. He had forgotten about this. It was all his mother's fault for insisting on calling him that. Everyone in the hospital was used to calling him that. Damn it. I also want to change my nickname.

"Uh, Brother Zhuzi, has your father settled the job?"

He Lai changed the subject and asked.

"It's settled. I'll be the canteen director of the third canteen. The original director is about to retire."

Sha Zhu said happily.

"Oh, then I'll go to the third canteen to eat from now on. Uncle He will definitely make arrangements for me clearly."

He Lai smiled.

He Daqing has become the canteen director. It seems that he has taken back a lot of money from the White Widow. Otherwise, how could he have money to give to Deputy Director Li, who is a money-driven person.

"No, Xiao Laizi, whatever you want to eat, Brother Zhuzi will definitely make it for you. Besides, the third canteen is a bit far from us."

"Then I want to eat braised eggplant and shredded pork with fish flavor."

"Okay, wait."

……

"Xiao Laizi, you can do it. I noticed that everyone else calls you that. So you don't want me to call you that, right?"

Zhang Zhiwen laughed.

"Hey, they are all my neighbors. What can I say? Are you going to fall out with them just for a little name?"

He Lai was also embarrassed. He was 17 years old, but was still being called "Xiao Lai Zi, Xiao Lai Zi".

"Alright, alright, stop playing the victim. I'll just ask you to come over. It's a pretty easy phrase to use."

"Brother Zhiwen is still very particular. By the way, how long do you plan to stay in the steel mill?"

He Lai thought that Zhang Zhiwen and the others would not stay for long.

"Well, that's not necessarily the case. It mainly depends on how your production and maintenance plan is going. We were sent down to learn from you and see if there is a need to implement it in full."

"Are there any difficult people among the people who come with you? Tell me in advance. I can be on guard."

"Hey, you're all nerds, all wanting to come and learn the plan. I just saw you were here, otherwise I wouldn't come even if you invited me."

Zhang Zhiwen said with pride.

"Is that so? Fine, then you can come with me. I'll take you to the workshop this afternoon."

He Lai was glad to hear that there were no children of officials, otherwise there would probably be some trouble.

"Okay, since you're here, nothing will be a problem. Just go to the workshop, I'm just here to make some extra money."

For second-generation officials like Zhang Zhiwen, all he needs to do is accumulate experience; the path to promotion has already been paved.

Soon Ma Hua brought the dishes and steamed buns, and the two began to eat.

"Well, you are quite good as a chef. This dish tastes quite good."

After tasting it, Zhang Zhiwen gave his evaluation.

"Of course, my brother Zhuzi is the disciple of Master Fengzeyuan. How can he not be amazing?"

When Zhang Zhiwen heard it was Fengze Garden, he realized it was no wonder and immediately gave a thumbs up.

After dinner, He Lai took Zhang Zhiwen back to the technical department.

“Brother Zhiwen, please take a look at our production and maintenance plan first. We will go to the workshop after Brother Liu and the others come back.”

He Lai took out the plan from the drawer and handed it to Zhang Zhiwen.

"Row."

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen looked at the plan carefully, raised some questions from time to time, and He Lai answered them patiently.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally Brother Liu and the others came back.

"Wow, you two are so serious." Liu Mu and the others finally came back.

"You should learn about it first, otherwise you won't be confused when you see the specific process in the workshop."

Zhang Zhiwen replied.

"Okay, you are indeed someone from the Ministry of Industry, you are serious and responsible."

Liu Mu smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Okay, Brother Liu, stop being naughty. Let's go to the workshop and take a look. The sooner we leave, the sooner we'll finish it."

He Lai spoke up.

"Fuck, I just finished my meal. Okay, I'll listen to you. You won't be satisfied unless you tire me to death."

Yanagi joked.

When the group arrived at the workshop, Liu Mu took He Lai and the others to visit the workers' current work. Everything was clean and tidy, unlike before when they did things according to their own mood.

In the workshop, He Lai saw Yi Zhonghai was there too! Is he well? He Lai was still wondering whether he should go and say hello.

Yi Zhonghai called him first.

"Xiao Laizi, come over to check the machine?"

"Yes, uncle, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you feeling better?" He Lai saw that Yi Zhonghai had come to say hello, so he had to accept the call.

"It's completely healed. Doctor Feng's medical skills are very good. I have to thank you for this. Now that your aunt is pregnant, I can finally put down the heavy burden in my heart."

Yi Zhonghai said with a smile. He was sincerely grateful to He Lai. If it weren't for him, he didn't know what he would become.

When He Lai heard this, he realized it was no wonder that Yi Zhonghai returned to the workshop with a smile on his face. It turned out that an old lady was pregnant.

This smile makes people feel much more comfortable, unlike before when it was all forced.

"Then congratulations, sir." He Lai replied.

"Hey, Master Yi, you have to treat us. It's such a big deal."

"Yes, Master Yi, you must treat us."

……

When the people around Yi Zhonghai heard the news, they all came up to congratulate him. After all, Yi Zhonghai was a seventh-level master chef and everyone respected him.

Even Jia Dongxu kept congratulating him, and only then did he understand why Yi Zhonghai came back.

With this little episode, the workers were all beaming with joy. After all, Yi Zhonghai said he would give them candy tomorrow.

Liu Mu continued to take He Lai to fix some minor problems. He Lai also explained the operating procedures to the workers to avoid unnecessary problems.

Zhang Zhiwen listened and took notes, nodding his head from time to time to show his approval.

After the inspection, Zhang Zhiwen had a deeper understanding of the production maintenance plan.

He said to He: "Come on, you are amazing. With this maintenance plan and your insights, the worker's future grade will definitely be raised."

"What's wrong with this? The factory's production has increased, and the workers have worked so hard, so shouldn't they be paid more?"

He Lai said with a smile.

In fact, He Lai still thinks that if the workers can operate in a standardized manner, the risk of injury can be reduced.

After all, the death or injury of any worker will bring disaster to his family.
