Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Director Yang and Deputy Director Zhang have both been leaders and are well aware of their current situation.

Ever since he was sent down to the countryside for labor reform, all his so-called trusted subordinates have distanced themselves from him and avoided him as much as possible, fearing that they would have anything to do with him.

There were even people who betrayed him, wanted to step on him, and wanted to get to the top by suppressing him.

It’s already good enough that Xiangdong can take care of himself in the kitchen under pressure and recover his health.

If I continue to trouble them and let Wang Dong be punished, I would be so unfair to them.

He quickly answered: "Squad Leader Tang..."

"Our bodies have recovered..."

"I've been eating in the kitchen every day for the past few months. Because of you and Director Wang's care, I can still have some oily food from time to time."

"Although the two of us are not as good as the young guys, we can still do some physical work."

"Go back and tell Director Wang that we can adjust our positions at any time. Please also thank Director Wang for taking care of us during this period. We will definitely remember it in our hearts!"

After he finished speaking, Director Yang clearly noticed a fleeting look of hesitation on Tang Dashan's face, as if there was something he had not told them the truth about.

He quickly asked: "Team Leader Tang..."

"Are you hiding something from us?"

"Just say whatever you want to say. We're both like this now, there's nothing we can't handle."

Tang Dashan pretended to be embarrassed and answered: "Lao Yang, Lao Zhang..."

"What I want to say is that you two should be more accurate in judging people in the future, and don't trust everyone..."

"Do you know where the rumors that are spreading in the steel mill and the kitchen first came from?"

"One workshop, and there is an 80% chance that it was spread by Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng."

"They are the two people who suppressed you two in a workshop before and wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with Director Li and get promoted."

"I heard that Yi Zhonghai was your confidant before, and you took good care of him in the steel mill. But this old guy not only didn't repay you, but he stepped on you to get to the top. This is too shameful."

"Our Director Wang thinks you are too old, so he will take care of you in the kitchen."

"Not only did the old fellow Yi Zhonghai not appreciate it, he also spread the news in the steel mill that my master's position was problematic. On the surface, he was Director Li's man, but in fact, he was your man, Old Yang. He asked the factory leaders to punish my master?"

"I've never seen such a shameless person in my life."

"I don't know why you fell in love with this villain Yi Zhonghai..."

Although Tang Dashan did not directly scold Director Yang, his words implied that he had no vision and was not good at judging people.

Director Yang was also a man who cared about his reputation, and his face immediately turned red with shame.

However, Tang Dashan stopped there and did not continue speaking. To Director Yang, it seemed like just a complaint, so he just left after saying it.

But Director Yang's hatred for Yi Zhonghai has increased to the extreme, and it is engraved in his bones and he will never forget it for the rest of his life.

…………

Wang Dong is still very confident that he can keep his position as the head chef.

In the original drama, Sha Zhu was rewarded for his delicious cooking, even though he was previously Director Yang's man, and he also beat up Director Li because of Qin Huairu.

After Director Yang was demoted, he often sent him some food in private.

But after Director Li took over, he still held the position of deputy director and chef of the kitchen, and was not punished for it. He had been Director Li's man from the beginning, and had helped him do a lot of big things.

Although after Director Li became the head of the steel rolling mill, he no longer visited him every day, the relationship between the two seemed to have become much distant, and Director Li no longer valued him as much as before, but given Director Li's attitude towards He Yuzhu, and the fact that he was a sentimental person, even if he was really punished, it would not affect his position as the head chef.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to take this opportunity to bring him down, but he was obviously not yet ready.

After knocking on the door and walking into Director Li's office, he smiled and said, "Director... I'm here to report to you."

Seeing Wang Dong, Director Li also smiled: "Finally I meet you, kid..."

"I thought you had forgotten about me, the factory manager, after you became the head of the kitchen."

"No one comes here for no reason. You definitely didn't come here to see me... It should be because of the messages that just spread in the factory..."

Xiangdong smiled awkwardly and replied: "Director, you are wise..."

"I won't come to see you during this period..."

"The main reason is that you have been promoted to the position of factory director and have become the head of our steel mill. You have a lot of important things to do every day."

"I am just a small kitchen manager. I come to see you every day. Isn't that a waste of your precious time?"

"If it is because of me that you fail to complete your work at the steel mill, then wouldn't I be the sinner of the steel mill?"

Wang Dong still had something to say in his mind.

Although Director Li in front of him did not kill Director Yang, he still did a lot of bad things in order to amass wealth during his tenure as director.

If I hang around him every day, I might be forced to do something bad.

It would be a mistake to agree, and it would be a mistake to refuse...

The easiest way to solve this problem is to disappear in front of him and let Director Li forget your existence.

That way, when he needs someone to do something bad, he won't think of himself.

After listening to Wang Dong's explanation, Director Li felt much better.

Because what Wang Dong just explained hit the nail on the head.

Being a factory manager is good, but it is too tiring and there is always endless work to do every day.

If Wang Dong really came to hang around me often, I would not only not be happy, but would also think that he was ignorant, and would smile and reply: "You've got it..."

"As for the rumors about the steel mill, you don't have to worry too much."

"You are my man after all, and it was my intention to give Lao Yang and the others preferential treatment. I just didn't expect someone to target you."

"This incident should serve as a warning to you. Even if you want to take care of Lao Yang and the others in the future, you must be more secretive and not let others catch you..."

"But this matter is related to your personal stance after all. More than 10,000 workers in the steel mill are watching me, so I will definitely be punished..."

"But your position as the head chef will definitely not be affected... so you have to continue to keep an eye on the kitchen and make sure nothing goes wrong..."

Director Li is a man of his word. Since he says there is nothing wrong with him, then there must be nothing wrong with him.

He immediately patted his chest and assured Director Li: "Director, don't worry, I, Wang Dong, am just a cook."

"It is because of your trust and support that I became the head of the kitchen. I will definitely help you keep an eye on the kitchen, prepare meals for the workers, and ensure everyone's food supply."

"Besides this, I don't care about anything else..." (End of this chapter)
