Siheyuan: Cooking journey

The night passed quietly and passed by unknowingly.

He Yuzhu went to work as usual the next day.

The instant noodle factory hasn't started operating yet, so he can still be lazy for a few days.

But I don’t feel relaxed at all, I just want to be busy.

I had a meeting early in the morning and dealt with factory affairs, so I was busy the whole morning.

In the afternoon, I wanted to talk to Lao Guo about the construction.

As a result, I received an unexpected phone call.

"Director He, Wang Deqing is leading a team to support us..."

The phone is disconnected.

He Yuzhu pressed his temple with a sad face.

It turned out that Wang Deqing brought a transport team to help.

No need to think too much, when Zhou Zhennan came here to drink yesterday, Director Yang probably talked about building the factory.

For Lao Zhou, this is just a piece of cake.

But He Yuzhu was a little confused.

I know in my heart that ignoring this matter may be the best choice for everyone.

But it is also clear that his opinion was not sought for this decision, nor was he asked whether he really needed this so-called "good".

Even if you are unwilling, what can you do?

My mind is in a mess and I can't make sense of it.

He Yuzhu didn't delve into the issue any further. He went to find Lao Guo and visited Lou Xiao'e and Sisi on the way.

Came to the bulletin board of the steel mill.

A lot of people had gathered there and were talking about it.

"Our factory is planning to build a new instant noodle production plant. If workers are willing to work there, they can apply for it, and they will have the opportunity to be hired first..."

"Hey, does anyone know what instant noodles are? This is the first time I've heard of it."

"It's probably similar to dried noodles. Haha, our steel mill also opened a noodle factory. It sounds interesting..."

"Are you guys missing the point? I heard that Yu Li is going to be promoted to deputy general manager. What does this position entail?"

"Stupid, you don't know? In that newly built instant noodle factory, Director He is the general manager, so Yu Li is naturally the deputy general manager, which is equivalent to the position of deputy factory director..."

"Oh my god, this is too outrageous, right? When it comes to cooking skills, Yu Li is definitely good, but when it comes to administrative management, she was just a junior canteen supervisor. How could she be promoted directly to deputy factory director?"

"What do you know? Yu Li and Director He have been in contact for more than ten years. Before that, she was He Yushui's assistant. When He Yushui went to college, Yu Li naturally took over. The meaning of this is self-evident..."

"Everyone, be careful with your words. Think about how much Director He has taken care of us. Our wages have doubled, and you are still not satisfied? If anyone talks nonsense, I, Niu Tiehua, will be the first one to not let him go..."

The female inspection team appeared and said, "Disband, disperse quickly..."

"Good sister..."

Yu Haitang bit her lips slightly, her legs were so weak that she almost couldn't stand.

I never dreamed that my sister, who only had a junior high school diploma, would rise to the top and become a vice president.

If it is said that there is no He Yuzhu factor in this,

I guess no one would believe it.

Yu Haitang felt aggrieved and angry.

He was angry that his sister had kept it a secret from him, even though he had clearly said before that it had nothing to do with her;

He was also unwilling to be ignored in front of He Yuzhu.

Among the two sisters, the younger sister is obviously prettier than the older one, and has a fresh face without any experience of the world, but she is completely ignored, and instead the married elder sister becomes proud.

It's just a little bit higher, what's the big deal?

Isn't it more attractive to be a person who has never been married?

"What a scumbag! What a blind idiot..."

Yu Haitang, who was getting more and more annoyed the more she thought about it, originally decided to go all out and give her all to this ungrateful man;

However, several meetings were ruthlessly ignored.

With her proud and proud personality, she would never swallow this insult so easily, and she had already kicked He Yuzhu countless times in her heart.

I have already given up all my fantasies and put him on the list of people I never want to see again.

After hearing the news about her sister's relationship with He Yuzhu,

I became even more angry and wanted to ask him immediately if he had a problem with his brain. Why did he choose a married girl instead of an unmarried girl?

Compared to these,

What she could not accept the most was that the person she had admired for a long time did not get married as she wished, and in the end, he fell into her sister's hands quietly.

The self-confidence that had always made her think she was better than her sister in every aspect since she was a child completely collapsed.

How could one possibly bear such a huge gap?

Yu Haitang was so angry that her teeth were about to grind. She quickly set out to confront the person.

We searched almost the entire office area, including where the leadership was and the cafeteria management's office, but did not find the person we were looking for.

The anger of not being able to find someone further exacerbated the degree of emotional out-of-control.

I can only go home and wait.

Finally it was very late,

When I got home from get off work and opened the door, I found my sister standing at the door waiting for me with a cold face.

Yu Li was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"

As he pushed the door open, he was blocked by the woman who followed him into the room. "What's going on?"

He closed the door and carefully observed the changes in the other person's expression and said, "You should be very clear about what you did!"

Yu Li frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "What happened? Can you tell me the details?"

He snorted disdainfully and accused the other party bluntly: "Don't play dumb! There must be an extraordinary relationship between you and He Yuzhu; otherwise, how could you be transferred to a key position in the upcoming instant noodle processing factory?"

"What are you talking about..."

Although he refuted it verbally, he was still a little nervous inside. He took a breath and calmly responded to the question: "According to your logic, any woman can take up this position as long as she has close contact with him?"

"Ran Qiuye is He Yuzhu's wife. Why wasn't she chosen as the deputy general manager?"

Faced with this pointed question, Yu Haitang was speechless and had to fight back: "Stop quibbling and confusing the concepts here, okay? After all, she already has a considerable status and does not need to obtain recognition through professional channels; and you are obviously not the legal wife, but you do have some kind of ambiguity with her."

Hearing being called the mistress made Yu Li smile happily. She sat down and chatted casually, saying, "You really have a rich imagination. You've already portrayed me as a disloyal person before others have even discussed it. But even if he and I really have something going on, as his sister you should be happy about it. After all, I'm the one who promoted you!"

His expression became increasingly grim as he seized upon the other person's words and taunted him back, "You admit it, right? It's just as the rumors say; but I can't afford to enjoy the benefits of sacrificing my dignity."

Yu Li didn't care about this answer at all. She directly revealed the truth and stated her own views and attitude: "Yes, I am a person who doesn't care about face. I report many things to Director He all day long at work and always actively cooperate with his instructions. I believe it is difficult for you to imagine the feeling of physical exhaustion after each communication. But in my heart, I am both afraid and happy, because this proves his special feelings for me..."

After hearing this confession, Yu Haitang's face suddenly showed a mixture of shyness and anger. She couldn't help but burst out and cursed: "How shameless! I don't have a sister like you!"

"Perhaps you are too concerned about gains and losses and have become so unrecognizable. I don't want to have a sister like you..."

Yu Li's face darkened and she said coldly:

"As your biological sister, is this how you look upon your biological sister? What is the relationship between me and He Yuzhu? You don't believe anything I say. I told you that He Yuzhu would not have any influence on you and asked you not to give up, but you just didn't believe it and ran away to such a far place. You heard these bad words and slanders clearly."

"You have no brains. Don't you think about it? There are so many people coming and going in the office, and so many people are watching. What can happen between me and He Yuzhu? After get off work, he has his wife with him and never leaves his side. How can I have the chance to do anything with him?!"

At this point, Yu Li raised her voice: "If you say something like that, I'm too lazy to argue with you."

"We have known each other for more than ten years, and I do have some feelings for He Yuzhu. If he is willing, I am willing to give him everything, and I have always hoped that we can be together one day."

Yu Li sighed and said in a low voice: "But he didn't mean that at all. Isn't his wife Ran Qiuye beautiful? Isn't Lou Xiaoe pretty too? Lou Xiaoe came back and gave him a daughter, but he didn't rekindle his old relationship with them. How could he be interested in a married woman like me?"

"Don't mention anything else. I've been learning cooking from him these years and dealing with him every day, but good people won't take advantage of their acquaintances. He's a factory director and will be more careful about the impact. And I live in the same yard with him. If something really happens, the impact will be even greater, and my mother-in-law won't ignore it. Use your brain and think about it carefully. How could He Yuzhu and I have that kind of relationship?!"

Yu Haitang frowned, looking uncertain. After hesitating for a long time, she asked, "You really have nothing to do with him? Then how did you become the deputy general manager of the new factory? Isn't it because you are his woman?"

"It's that simple?"

"I won't tell you."

Yu Li was in a good mood, and stood up with pride and said, "This is because your sister is capable of being the deputy general manager. I have been cooking in the steel mill and in the city for so many years, and no one can match me except He Yuzhu. The instant noodle factory just needs someone with cooking skills to control the quality."

"Besides me, Ma Hua will also be there, and Liu Lan will also be working as He Yuzhu's secretary. The relationship between the two of them is even closer than mine. Why don't you question whether they have something going on?"

"You are really suspicious of me, your own sister. You are making up stories before anyone else says anything... That's because Liu Lan is trustworthy."

Yu Haitang muttered to himself and couldn't help but look at Yu Li again, feeling that it was a bit strange.

She inexplicably felt that her sister seemed to look much better and more feminine.

But on second thought, Yu Haitang felt that her sister made sense: when Lou Xiao'e came back, He Yuzhu ignored her;

Ran Qiuye still lives at home, so there is no way she could have anything to do with him.

The point is, there really was no chance of anything happening between the two of them.

As for secretly liking He Yuzhu, it is even more normal. After all, they have been together for so many years and he is not bad looking. Who can not like him?

Thinking of this, Yu Haitang was no longer angry, but just more confused.

Even if there really is something going on between my sister and He Yuzhu, that is their business. Why am I so angry?

Could it be that I like that stinky man and now I’m jealous?

Yu Haitang's heartbeat quickened and she quickly shook off the thought. It was impossible.

The man already had a wife and didn’t pay any special attention to her. He seemed to be indifferent to her every day.

You must be crazy to like a guy like this. If he wasn't the factory director and wasn't good looking, I wouldn't even give him a second glance.

Yes, that must be the case.

Yu Haitang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her sister with a guilty conscience and said, "Sister, I'm sorry, I heard the gossip from others, and I believed these rumors, don't be angry. In fact, the reason why I'm angry is because I care about you. You are the best sister in my heart, just like faith, so when I heard these rumors, I felt like my faith collapsed, so I was so angry. I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'I hate iron but I can't make it into steel'? That's how I feel now."

Yu Li laughed inwardly, but on the surface she sighed and said, "Okay, I won't say any more. I'm really tired. You go first. I need to rest for a while."

"sister……"

Yu Haitang looked at her anxiously and said tentatively, "You are the deputy general manager of the new factory. Does that mean you have a lot of power? It's a newly built factory over there, and many positions are still vacant. Can I be the head of the publicity department?"

"Well, let me think about it again..."

Yu Li said a few perfunctory words and sent Yu Haitang away, lamenting that people's hearts are always fickle.

In the past, I always thought that as long as I could deliver the steamed buns to the man I missed, I had no other extravagant hopes.

After it was really delivered to me, my expectations changed. I hoped that it could occupy a larger place in his heart.

If her sister is well-behaved and obedient, she would like to help her make progress together.

But the problem is that my sister is not only mediocre, but also too ambitious and vain. This kind of personality will only cause trouble, and I don't want to have a bad influence on men.

As for the so-called head of the publicity department, there is no need to mention it. The instant noodle factory does not have such a department at all.

The room fell silent.

Yu Li lay on her side on the bed with her eyes narrowed. She didn't report on her work today and didn't learn how to drive. She really wanted to see him and continue learning how to drive.

......

forecourt.

The third uncle was listening to the radio comfortably.

The three aunts ran in hurriedly.

There are more than 20 families living in this courtyard, and almost half of them work in the steel rolling mill.

Everyone has known for a long time that Yu Li has become the deputy general manager.

There is also a lot of discussion in private.

Why was Yu Li the vice president and not someone else?

There are many old employees in the steel rolling mill.

No matter how it is arranged, it will not be Yu Li's turn.

Who would believe that Yu Li and He Yuzhu have nothing to do with each other?

The third aunt heard a lot of these gossips, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was something fishy about it.
