Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

After hearing Deputy Director Li's reminder, Wang Dong did not feel worried at all. Instead, he answered confidently: "Don't worry, leader..."

"According to statistics, a total of five people in the kitchen have obtained the ninth-level chef certificate in this assessment. They are all qualified to serve as kitchen squad leaders."

"But there are only two vacancies for kitchen squad leaders. Even if one squad leader applies for three spots, it won't be He Yuzhu's turn..."

"His cooking skills at the steel mill were indeed very good, but he had one very big disadvantage: his mouth was very smelly and he was very selfish, which made him particularly unpopular in the kitchen."

"And they especially follow the principle of teaching their apprentices to starve themselves to death."

"Although the factory leaders offered various rewards for teaching apprentices, He Yuzhu refused to teach others his real skills."

"I plan to have a fair election in the kitchen."

"Gather the two canteens with vacant squad leader positions together, and then let the chefs who are qualified to be squad leaders run for election in the two canteens, and all the kitchen assistants, chefs, and apprentices in the two canteens will vote."

"The person ranked first will be listed first in the list of candidates for class monitor."

"The person with the second highest number of votes will be listed as the second candidate for squad leader, and so on."

"Based on my understanding of He Yuzhu, he will definitely not get more than five votes in the two votes."

"When the time comes, He Yuzhu won't be on the list of candidates for squad leader, and Director Yang won't be able to support He Yuzhu even if he wants to."

“I haven’t found any reason to refute it yet.”

"After all, the candidate list provided by the kitchen staff was chosen by all the kitchen helpers and apprentices themselves, and has nothing to do with me, the deputy kitchen director."

"Now is the era when workers and farmers are in charge. The will of the workers in the steel mill represents everything. No matter how bold Director Yang is, he dare not overturn the decision made by dozens of workers together."

Deputy Director Li's expression changed when he looked at Wang Dong. He didn't expect that he was so good at taking advantage of the situation.

He directly blamed the reason why He Yuzhu was not on the alternative list on dozens of workers in the kitchen, and completely absolved himself of all responsibility.

Today's workers all have stable jobs.

As long as the other party does not break the law, even Director Yang can't do anything to them.

Faced with the alternative list without He Yuzhu's name, Director Yang had no choice but to accept it no matter how unhappy he was.

Otherwise, Director Yang would feel bad if he was accused of being disloyal to his workers.

He nodded immediately: "Let's do it..."

"Hurry up and don't give Director Yang and the others any time to prepare and react."

"By the time they realized something was wrong, the list of candidates for squad leader had already been brought to the factory leadership meeting."

"No matter how unwilling Old Yang is, he can only swallow his anger."

…………

The kitchen of a canteen in a steel rolling mill.

After leaving Director Yang's office, He Yuzhu was in a particularly good mood. When he had free time, he even imagined how glorious he would be as the kitchen team leader.

Ma Hua also had a smile on his face.

He Yuzhu was a man who could not keep things to himself, so when he returned to the kitchen, he told him that Director Yang had promised him to be the kitchen team leader, as a reassurance to him.

In the words of He Yuzhu.

When he becomes the kitchen team leader, Ma Hua, as his apprentice, will definitely follow him to the new canteen.

At that time, the entire cafeteria will be ruled by these two, master and disciple.

From now on, whether to shake the spoon when serving food to the workers, and whether to serve more food to the workers he knows, will all be decided by He Yuzhu. If there are leftovers in the kitchen, maybe he can take some home...

Just when Ma Hua was immersed in the big pie that He Yuzhu had painted for him, Wang Dong suddenly appeared in the kitchen.

"Everyone stop, I have something very important to announce to you..."

"The results of our canteen No. 1 were very good this time. A total of five comrades passed the ninth-level chef assessment, and six comrades passed the tenth-level chef assessment, officially becoming canteen chefs from apprentices."

"Two more comrades have passed the eighth-level chef assessment, and one comrade has passed the seventh-level chef assessment..."

"Before, we had too few chefs in the kitchen, so the two kitchen squad leaders were level 10 chefs."

"There are now more level nine chefs in the kitchen. According to the requirements of the factory leaders, from now on, all team leaders in the canteen must be chefs above level nine."

"This way, we will have two squad leader positions vacant in the kitchen."

"The five comrades who passed the ninth-level chef assessment this time are all qualified to serve as kitchen squad leaders."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's face was filled with joy, and he felt that he had already secured one of the squad leader positions.

After all, what he got was the promise from Director Yang of the steel rolling mill.

He is the undisputed boss of the steel rolling mill, and even Deputy Director Li, who is in charge of logistics, is his deputy.

In He Yuzhu's opinion, a lowly position like kitchen team leader was just a matter of a word for him.

Without waiting for Wang Dong to continue speaking, he interrupted: "Wang Dong..."

"Don't keep us in suspense. Just announce who will be the two cafeteria monitors..."

In the entire kitchen, He Yuzhu was the only one who still called Wang Dong by his name, but Wang Dong was not angry.

The higher He Yuzhu jumps now, the more handsome he will be next time. He might even embarrass himself again in the kitchen of the steel mill.

As for the other people in the kitchen, they looked at He Yuzhu with anger, dissatisfaction, and envy...

Those who are envious think that the position of squad leader must belong to He Yuzhu.

When he told Ma Hua that Director Yang had promised him the position of kitchen team leader, he wanted everyone in the kitchen to hear it, so he spoke very loudly and arrogantly.

Those who showed dissatisfaction and anger all had conflicts with He Yuzhu, especially Huang Longfei, Tang Dashan, and Fatty.

In their eyes, all the credit goes to Wang Dong for their current status.

Now Wang Dong is not only the canteen monitor and He Yuzhu's immediate superior, but also the deputy director of the kitchen, a true cadre in name only.

Even though everyone called Wang Dong the deputy director, He Yuzhu still called Wang Dong by his name, which clearly showed that he looked down on Wang Dong. It would be strange if he could treat him well.

He Yuzhu didn't care about the anger on these people's faces at all.

These people don't get along with me, and I don't get along with them either.

I even had the idea of ​​taking revenge on them after I became the squad leader, especially those people like Fatty who "betrayed their teachers and ancestors".

Wang Dong saw all the expressions on He Yuzhu's face and snorted coldly, "Comrade He Yuzhu..."

"Who told you that the two squad leaders for the kitchen have been decided..."

"We have two vacancies for squad leaders in the kitchen, but there are five comrades who are qualified to serve as these two squad leaders."

“No matter who the factory leaders appoint as the team leader, it will be unfair to the other level nine chefs.”

"With the efforts of Deputy Factory Director Li, the leadership decided to give all Level 9 chefs a fair chance to compete." (End of this chapter)
