Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

During this period, most of the countries that established diplomatic relations with China were African countries. At present, there is a boom in aid construction, and the country has sent many people to help with the construction of local civil engineering projects. This matter is almost known to everyone. The media widely spreads the aid projects in Africa. Some people even learned African languages ​​in order to go there so that they can better participate in the aid construction work.

However, upon hearing the news, Zhang Aimin seemed a little discouraged.

"African countries are notoriously short of water resources, so why do they need running water pipes?" The climate there is hot and water is scarce. Even plants that are adapted to drought will quickly wither without adequate watering.

This made Zhang Aimin worried that the water pipes they made might not work in the local area, and he did not realize the importance of Su Chen's special design for the water pipes. In his opinion, the water pipes were still a device for providing drinking water, so how could they have other uses?

It was simply a fantasy to sell such water pipes to places where there was a lack of water. Zhang Aimin did not express his doubts about this, and Su Chen was calm. He said to his assistant:

"You don't need to worry too much. There will always be a way." After saying that, he also instructed Zhang Aimin to call the rest of the workers back. At present, all the preparatory work has been completed and the trade fair has not yet started. It is also possible to let them relax a little.

It's a rare opportunity to travel far away, so in addition to attending the military exhibition, I also have to experience Guangzhou's nightlife.

Zhang Aimin wanted to say something else, but seeing Su Chen's nonchalant look, he had to take the order and go find the workers. The workers who came with Su Chen were strolling happily at this time, full of curiosity about all the novelties on the stalls. This time, they went out with Su Chen not only for fun, but also to get some inspiration from the products of the exhibitors. After all, the factory is currently undergoing reforms, and if they can invent some useful tools and sell them, they will also get a certain percentage of the profits.

Driven by this attractive benefit, the workers were full of ideas of making money and innovation. Zhang Aimin searched everywhere and finally gathered everyone together, and reluctantly led the workers back to the stall. Su Chen simply adjusted the layout of the stall. After all, what he was selling was tap water pipes, so as long as they looked similar, it would be fine. After seeing everyone return, Su Chen waved to them.

"Comrades, we have come to Guangzhou today. It's time for dinner. How about trying the local hotpot - hotpot?"

Su Chen was rubbing his hands together, looking impatient. Zhang Aimin was doubtful and had no appetite at all. Seeing that Su Chen was still enjoying himself and taking people to eat hot pot, he could only sigh. Since the factory director had no worries, he, as an assistant, didn't need to worry too much.

Therefore, Zhang Aimin decisively gave up the idea of ​​finding a solution through personal efforts, thinking that Su Chen would figure it out anyway. When the workers learned that they could try the local hot pot, they were very excited. "Does Director Su know where there is an authentic hot pot?"

"Before I left, my wife told me that I must try the hot pot here and asked me to tell her how it tasted when I came back."

Seeing that everyone was very interested, Su Chen took everyone to the most famous hot pot restaurant in the area without hesitation. "Comrades, eat whatever you want tonight. It's my treat."

Su Chen handed the menu to everyone. Compared with Beijing, Guangzhou was a little hot and humid. Those workers who were not used to the environment were sweating profusely and took off their coats.

Relatively speaking, Su Chen seemed to be more adaptable here. "I don't know these things, so you should order the dishes."

A worker stared at the menu for a long time but still couldn't figure out what "Diaolong" was. Finally, he handed the menu to his colleague next to him.

"It's just a hot pot, right? Just let them order whatever they want."

The worker also looked confused and randomly selected a few options. After taking turns, there were not many choices. Seeing this, Su Chen simply checked most of the items on the menu.

"Don't be so reserved, just eat as much as you can. Southern dishes are usually served in smaller portions, so they may not be enough later. You'll need to order more."

After that, he called the waiter over. At that time, there were not many waiters who could speak Mandarin. At first, the waiter communicated in authentic Yangcheng dialect, but Su Chen understood it quickly.

After half a day of fruitless communication, they finally made the waiter understand what they meant through gestures.

Soon, the hot pot was served, and the dishes ordered by Su Chen and his friends were also placed on the table. Seeing the extremely finely cut meat, the workers' eyes lit up.

Compared with the hotpot here, the hotpot in Beijing is indeed inferior in terms of sophistication.

Out of curiosity, everyone finished several plates in a short time.

"This hot pot tastes really good, but it's a little bland."

"I heard that people in Guangzhou don't like spicy food. Look at the hotpot. There's no chili at all. It's so bland."

"Can't you mix the seasoning yourself? Just go to the side and mix some." Several people chatted with each other and soon finished the whole table of dishes.

The meal was very enjoyable, but since everyone was from Beijing, they were not used to the local food style. Some workers ran to the seasoning area halfway through the meal and added a lot of garlic and chili peppers to feel satisfied.

Because the portion of each plate was not large, everyone was not satisfied with the meal, so Su Chen ordered another table, and finally filled their voracious appetites.

After eating and drinking, everyone prepared to leave the restaurant.

Seeing that they were about to return to the hotel, Su Chen waved his hand.

"Yangcheng's nightlife has just begun. Why go back so early? Let's go get a foot massage first to relax our bodies."

The workers had never experienced such a life before. When they heard the proposal, their eyes lit up and they immediately followed Su Chen.

Su Chen had already prepared a strategy, and he led everyone around in circles, and soon they arrived at the door of a shop emitting pink light.

"How can you not have a massage after having a good meal and a drink? This is the standard procedure for a night in Guangzhou." After saying that, he walked straight into the store.

The arrival of this group of people immediately filled up the entire store. They were lucky today, as they were the only customers in the store.

This saves the cost of booking a venue.

“Pick your own menu, any service is fine.”

"All expenses will be on my account. Relax tonight and don't worry about money. There are not many opportunities to bring you out to broaden your horizons. The company will reimburse you for this expense."

Hearing this, the workers became excited and each chose their favorite service staff to perform foot washing and massage.

Su Chen looked around and saw a waiter he liked and called him over to give him a massage.

The group went into their respective private rooms and enjoyed the foot washing and massage comfortably.

After the massage, Su Chen lay on the bed and continued to receive a full body massage.

After a long car journey, my body was indeed a little tired. After the massage, my body felt extremely relaxed.

Unfortunately, the masseuse spoke in pure Yangcheng dialect, and Su Chen didn't understand a word. If they wanted to communicate, they could only rely on simple gestures instead of language.

Fortunately, the woman was beautiful, which made Su Chen feel pleasing to the eye and he felt quite relaxed.

After enjoying himself, Su Chen stood up refreshed. But he knew in his heart that the real entertainment had just begun.

Su Chen heard the noises from the next few rooms and learned that the workers had finished the massage and entered the health care stage. He was not interested in this, but the girl in front of him was beautiful and charming, which made his heart beat. Although he didn't know what she said, Su Chen obeyed her instructions and lay down again. The girls in Guangzhou are more petite than those in Beijing.

The girl was a little shy, as she had never received a guest as handsome and strong as Su Chen, so her movements seemed a little unskilled.

Su Chen relaxed and let her take care of him. If the steel mill was not in the capital, he might have moved to Guangzhou to enjoy himself.

When it comes to entertainment and leisure, Beijing is far inferior to Guangzhou.

After enjoying the health care, Su Chen reluctantly got up. The room next door had been quiet for a long time, waiting for him to go out.

At the same time, in Beijing, the Chunfeng Hotel was bustling with activity.

Yu Xiaozhu had just finished his work for the day and took off his armband to leave. The Chunfeng Hotel was packed with guests today.

Guests flocked in one after another, making Yu Xiaozhu busy and flustered.

However, as a skilled chef, he was always able to handle it calmly and serve every dish on time. There were so many customers today that the kitchen had almost used up all the ingredients. He had originally planned to take some dishes away, but now it was too late to do anything.

When he opened the curtain and prepared to leave the kitchen, he saw Yan Jiefang walking towards him, "Xiaozhu, come with me."

Yan Jiefang looked around carefully, then led him to a secluded place. "I have something that is not convenient for my sister-in-law to tell you, so I have to come and explain it to you personally."

"Recently, the chefs in the surrounding restaurants have not earned more than a thousand yuan. What do you think..."

Yu Xiaozhu felt impatient and interrupted Yan Jiefang: "Wait, wait, do you want me to leave? We're even?"

Seeing that he understood, Yan Jiefang handed him about eighty yuan.

"Hey, this snack trick is exactly the same as mine."

Yu Xiaozhu looked at him and said, Yan Jiefang smiled foolishly and couldn't say anything. "Give it to me."

After accepting the eighty yuan, he looked up at Yan Jiefang and said, "I guess you have discussed it with my apprentice as well. If I leave, he will stay?"

"Everyone has their own choices, right?" Yan Jiefang was a little embarrassed. Yu Xiaozhu nodded in agreement.

"I understand. You will pay for the fat man's bill today." "Of course, no problem. I appreciate your decisiveness."

After resolving his biggest worry, Yan Jiefang spoke more directly. Yu Xiaozhu nodded. "Bye."

Even though he had lost his job at the factory, Yu Xiaozhu's stubborn character made him accept Yan Jiefang's advice directly. Because the other party had obviously reached a consensus with his apprentice, and the apprentice was also happy to take over the affairs, Xiaozhu's pride was aroused, so facing the situation of being fired, he also chose to break up decisively.

I didn't bring any food home today, so Sha Zhu thought about it, bought two bags of buns, and carried them back to the courtyard. When he stepped into the gate of the courtyard, he felt very nervous.

Not long ago, he boasted that Yan Jiecheng couldn't do without him, Sha Zhu. But before he could finish his words, he was fired.

It would have been fine if the job at the steel mill was still there, but now even the job there is gone, and Sha Zhu has to take care of a family.
