Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

The next day, Liang Ladi and Ding Qiunan came to the canteen kitchen to look for Yang Ming. As soon as they walked in, they heard a burst of discussion.

"Have you heard? That kid Yang Ming actually became the factory director. He's so lucky!" said a chef sourly.

"Yeah, wasn't he just an ordinary worker before? How come he suddenly became so great?" another chef echoed...

Sha Zhu stood aside, listening to these discussions, with mixed feelings in his heart. He thought of the gap between himself and Yang Ming, and couldn't help but feel jealous. But then, he laughed at himself, thinking that he was really ridiculous, actually being jealous of someone who was better than himself.

In the small canteen of the steel rolling mill, Sha Zhu was waving a large spoon while muttering, "Who wants the position of canteen director? Even if the factory director comes to invite me personally, I may not agree." Although his voice was loud, his eyes flickered with a hint of desire for that position.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Liu Lan, the factory director wants to see you." Liu Lan tightened the rag in her hand and her heartbeat accelerated. She wiped her hands, took a deep breath, and walked towards the door leading to the factory director's office.

Yang Ming's office is simple and orderly, with a large desk, a comfortable chair, and a bookshelf filled with books next to it. In the corner, a pot of green plants is full of vitality, adding a bit of vitality to this serious space. The telephone lies quietly on the table, only for internal communication.

"Liu Lan, you're here." Yang Ming's voice was gentle and powerful. He pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down."

After Liu Lan sat down, Yang Ming went straight to the point and said, "There will be some adjustments within the cafeteria, and the position of director may be vacant." He paused and observed Liu Lan's reaction.

Liu Lan frowned slightly. She didn't expect the factory director to mention this matter so directly. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Director, I... I'm afraid I'm not qualified for such an important position."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Liu Lan, I know your ability. You have worked in the cafeteria for so many years, and you have always been conscientious and have never made a mistake. Moreover, you have a very good control over the ingredients, and the employees all praise your skills."

Liu Lan was somewhat happy when she heard this, but she was more worried. She knew that she only had a junior high school education, and compared with those highly educated directors, she was far behind.

"Director, I..." Liu Lan was about to refuse but was interrupted by Yang Ming.

"Liu Lan, don't rush to refuse." Yang Ming said, "I have a plan. You can first perform the duties of the director as a worker. When the conditions are ripe, I will officially appoint you. This will not only give you a period of adaptation, but also allow other employees to see your abilities."

Liu Lan was touched when she heard this. She knew that Yang Ming was giving her a chance, but also putting pressure on her. But she also knew that she couldn't let him down.

"Director, I..." Liu Lan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yang Ming.

"Liu Lan, I know what you are worried about." Yang Ming said, "But you have to believe in your own abilities. Besides, your husband Cai Quanwu has been silently working behind the scenes. He is in charge of the liaison work between the cafeteria and external procurement of ingredients, which is also a big advantage for you."

Liu Lan felt even more grateful after hearing this. She didn't expect Yang Ming even knew about this. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty when she thought of her husband going out early and coming back late every day to run around for the food in the canteen.

"Director, I understand." Liu Lan said, "I will work hard and will not let you down."

Yang Ming listened and nodded with satisfaction. He knew that Liu Lan was a responsible and motivated person, and as long as she was given a chance, she would be able to take on the position of canteen director.

"Liu Lan, I've seen everything you and Cai Quanwu have done in the cafeteria." Yang Ming's voice was steady and powerful, and his eyes revealed his admiration for Liu Lan. "You are diligent and conscientious, and you do your job conscientiously. I am very satisfied."

After hearing this, Liu Lan showed a grateful smile on her face, "It is because of your good teaching that I can do this job well." Her words were full of gratitude to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming nodded and continued, "The canteen belongs to everyone, so it needs to be managed fairly and justly. As an administrator, you should pay special attention to the supervision of material procurement and ensure that the accounts are clear and transparent. At the same time, you must be fair and just when distributing meals, and there must not be any favoritism."

Liu Lan listened carefully and admired Yang Ming's teachings. She knew that fairness and order in the cafeteria were not only related to everyone's dietary health, but also to the harmony and stability of the entire courtyard.

However, just as Liu Lan was trying to follow Yang Ming's teachings, she encountered a problem. One day, Yang Ming suddenly asked her: "Liu Lan, I heard that someone in the cafeteria took away food privately. Is this true?"

Liu Lan hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to answer truthfully: "Yes, Sha Zhu sometimes takes extra food home." Her voice trembled a little, and she was obviously worried about Yang Ming's reaction.

After hearing this, Yang Ming frowned and was silent for a moment before speaking: "Liu Lan, do you know why I emphasize fairness and order in the cafeteria? It is because this kind of 'special care' will undermine the rules of the entire cafeteria and make others feel unfair."

Liu Lan nodded to show her understanding. She knew very well that Yang Ming's decision was to maintain fairness and order in the cafeteria, not to target any particular person.

However, when Yang Ming announced that no one would be allowed to take food out of the cafeteria, Liu Lan felt a little worried. She knew that this decision might break the long-standing tacit understanding in the cafeteria and make some employees dissatisfied.

Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, the cafeteria was full of discussions. Sha Zhu even went straight to Liu Lan and asked her why she did this. Liu Lan looked at Sha Zhu's angry eyes, feeling helpless and guilty. She knew that she could not change Yang Ming's decision, nor could she hide the truth for Sha Zhu.

At this moment, Yang Ming walked into the cafeteria. He looked around and said loudly: "I know this decision may make everyone dissatisfied, but please understand my intention.

The canteen belongs to everyone, and we need to work together to maintain its fairness and order.

Of course, for those employees who have to work extra hours, I would consider increasing the allowance to compensate them for not being able to take food home.”

"Director Yang, what are you thinking about?" Liu Lan asked softly, her voice full of concern.

"I was wondering if we could do something to change some things here." Yang Ming turned around with a determined look.
