Siheyuan: I live next door to Xu Damao, my last name is Cao

Today, Sha Zhu naturally participated in the work-level assessment and passed it smoothly.

Sha Zhu was very happy. After today, he would be a level 7 cook with a salary of 41.5 yuan, plus a 2 yuan subsidy, which added up to 43.5 yuan.

"Master, your cooking skills are amazing. The two chefs praised you."

Ma Hua boasted on the side.

Sha Zhu chuckled and said very proudly: "Of course, once I take action, I can do the job of two people. It won't be a piece of cake for me to pass the work-level assessment."

"Ma Hua, you don't have to be anxious. Take your time to learn. One day, you will be able to be like me."

"Yes, master."

Ma Hua lowered his head and said amiably.

Sha Zhu sat on a chair and Ma Hua helped him massage his back. He put down the teacup and Ma Hua helped him get hot water. The service was very comfortable.

"Okay, it's time to prepare the meal. If you don't prepare the meal by dinner time, you'll be scolded. Go prepare the ingredients."

Sha Zhu ordered.

Now Sha Zhu no longer has to do odd jobs like washing vegetables, as those are done by apprentices.

"Yes."

After saying this, Ma Hua turned and left.

Sha Zhu sat here for a while. After Ma Hua and the others prepared the ingredients, he walked over leisurely to prepare cooking.

Sha Zhu’s cooking skills are pretty good, and with the help of a few people from Ma Hua, he quickly prepared several tables of meals.

But after the food was ready, Sha Zhu took two lunch boxes, took out some of the food and put it in his own lunch box.

Because some is taken out from each dish, each dish does not seem to have significantly less food.

But even so, Shazhu's lunch box was full.

Sha Zhu put the lunch box into a net bag, placed it on the table here, and then began to serve the leader.

What surprised Sha Zhu was that Xu Damao was also here.

Sha Zhu's face suddenly darkened, and Xu Damao was not in a good mood when he saw Sha Zhu.

The grudge between these two people is too great and they are disgusted with each other.

Xu Damao certainly didn't come here for free meal for no reason. He was specially kept by the factory director because a movie would be shown later.

Watching movies at this time is also a very good entertainment activity.

Just like in later generations, the one-stop service of foot washing and massage is to enrich one's spiritual world.

The two men cursed in a low voice, but the factory manager and others did not hear them.

After all, the factory director is treating us, and if they quarrel and attract attention, it will be a disaster.

If the factory director were to embarrass himself in front of so many leaders, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After Sha Zhu and his companions brought up the dishes one after another, they left. After delivering the meal, if the factory director didn't call him, it would be none of his business.

Before leaving, Sha Zhu noticed that there were several eyes staring at him and he didn't know what that meant.

After Xu Damao discovered it, he followed Sha Zhu out to take a look.

When he found that Sha Zhu returned to the kitchen to get his lunch box and was about to leave, he smiled sinisterly and went back to continue drinking. It seemed that Sha Zhu's good days were coming to an end.

The reason I say this has to do with Xu Damao’s preparations over the past few days.

These days, Xu Damao had been thinking about how to take revenge on Sha Zhu. After much thought, he remembered that on the day of the work-level assessment, there must be many factory leaders having dinner together.

When the leader goes to have a meal, Sha Zhu will definitely not miss the opportunity to bring food to Qin Huairu's family. Wouldn't Sha Zhu be making a mistake if he did that?

Although it is not uncommon for a cook to bring food to his boss, but making a mistake at this critical moment, and coincidentally being discovered by his bosses, wouldn't that be an insult to his bosses?

This matter may seem small, but if you look at it from a broader perspective, it can be considered as embezzlement of state property.

And with Xu Damao's instigation, this time, Sha Zhu will be in trouble if he doesn't die.

These days, Xu Damao shared the local specialties given by the fellow villagers when he went to the countryside with his good friends on duty in the Security Department. He also treated them to a meal and asked them to help him when the time comes.

These people from the Security Department were all very loyal (they had taken advantage of Xu Damao enough times), so they naturally patted their chests and said they would help Xu Damao vent his anger.

In addition, Xu Damao also secretly put a letter of complaint into the offices of Director Yang, Logistics Director Li Huaide and others, reporting Sha Zhu, and Xu Damao also heard with his own ears their orders to strictly investigate this act of embezzlement of state property.

Now all we have to do is wait and see.

......

Sha Zhu walked leisurely out of the steel mill carrying his lunch box.

When he walked to the door, Sha Zhu suddenly saw Jia Dongxu squatting at the door with his head down, looking like a miserable pug.

What is going on? Why is Jia Dongxu here? Why doesn’t he go home after the work-level assessment?

He thought about it and decided that he and Jia Dongxu didn't get along well anyway, so why should he care about him? So Sha Zhu didn't want to meddle in other people's business and prepared to walk out.

But he was stopped by a voice.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, what's in your lunch box? Please open it and take a look."

A security department member who was about thirty years old stopped Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu was originally from the kitchen, so they were naturally familiar with him. In addition, because of Xu Damao, they recognized Sha Zhu easily.

Shazhu didn't know the other person's name.

"Comrade, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Sha Zhu was not stupid enough to say that the food in it was his own food. He smiled and said, "This is my lunch box."

"It's a lunch box, right? Okay, please open it and let us have a look."

Sha Zhu frowned. In the past, when he brought lunch boxes back home, the security department members would not only not stop him, but would simply ignore him. So what was going on today?

"There's really nothing in it, just some leftovers from lunch."

Shazhu explained it again.

"Now you don't have to say anything, just give us the lunch box."

The member of the security department continued.

Several members of the Security Department looked at each other.

Nothing? Even if you have nothing, you have to have something today.

Otherwise they would just be scammers who eat and drink for free.

If you want to get involved in the underworld, you still have to abide by the code of conduct.

Xu Damao has so many things for free, so we must help him get things done.

Anyway, this is within their scope of responsibility.

They are on duty today, so that idiot Zhu can't take any oil back.

Sha Zhu was a little annoyed. Why did he feel like these people were targeting him today?

"Get out of the way, I'm off work, let me go home."

Sha Zhu tried to push away the security officer.

However, as a cook, he is still far behind the professional veterans in terms of strength.

Moreover, this member of the security department was half a head taller than Sha Zhu, so even if Sha Zhu pushed him hard, he only made him take a step back.
