Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 286 Li Huaide, a pillow for those who are sleepy

1955 was really a different year. Just as He Yuzhu was reading the newspaper and sighing, his office door was pushed open;
The only person who can enter the office without knocking is the leader, and this is how the leader inspects work;

He Yuzhu looked up and saw a smiling man. The man was wearing a black Zhongshan suit, had a slicked-back hair, and looked very imposing. Who else could it be but Li Huaide?
At this time, Li Huaide appeared in the steel mill and it was obvious that he was not here to inspect the workers. In other words, this guy came to the factory to take up a position;

When the Ministry of Industry comes to inspect, they usually give advance notice. But now we have just started work, so there is only one possibility: the troublemaker has arrived;

Now that this person has come to the factory, the steel rolling mill will no longer be peaceful. The prelude to forming cliques and fighting for power is about to begin!

"Brother Li, what are you doing?"

Even though he guessed it, he couldn't say it directly, otherwise it would be too bizarre.
Especially when facing the suspicious Li Huaide, we must be cautious. He can't predict the future, right?

If you want to have a good relationship with this person, you must not make him feel threatened, otherwise, he will become the first target of suppression;

If he wasn't surprised at all, did it mean that someone behind him had received the news in advance? It would be strange if Li Huaide didn't take precautions!

"Haha, Zhuzi, I'm here at the steel mill to take up a new position as the deputy director of logistics!"

Li Huaide was very satisfied with He Yuzhu's reaction, and was filled with emotion for a moment;

He won over He Yuzhu, and the original junior high school was used to satisfy his appetite and expand his network;

But he never expected that time was so unpredictable that he would end up working at the steel mill and become He Yuzhu's immediate superior.

He could have gotten the job last year, but his father-in-law thought that government work experience was also important;
The route planned for him by his father-in-law, Mr. Song, was: grassroots agencies, grassroots agencies, reincarnation to hone his abilities and clear obstacles for the road ahead;

Last year, I had the opportunity to work in a machinery factory, but it was rejected because the factory was in Hebei Province and it was rare for me to have the opportunity to return to Beijing.

Mr. Song didn't want his daughter to be too far away, nor did he want his daughter and son-in-law to live apart, so the move to the machinery factory didn't happen;

According to his mind, he would rather go to the Machinery Factory, which is a branch of the Steel Rolling Mill. He would be at least a deputy director there. The emperor is far away, and he comes from a government agency. He would be able to control others in a short time.

Once he becomes the factory director, he will be a high-ranking official, and he can do whatever he wants. He wants to be the boss and have the final say.

What a pity, he is Mr. Song’s son-in-law. Most of the time, he has to follow arrangements and cannot do whatever he wants. A son-in-law is not a son and has no right to be willful!

"Oh, then you can't call me Brother Li anymore, Deputy Director Comrade!"

He Yuzhu was very tactful. The relationship between the two had changed. Before, there was no superior-subordinate relationship and it was fine for them to call each other brothers. But now, the other person had suddenly become his superior, and if they continued to call each other brothers, it would be a violation of the rules!

"Look at you, we are still the same, we should treat each other as brothers!"

Li Huaide waved his hands and looked at He Yuzhu with dissatisfaction, as if to say that even if he was the factory director, they were still brothers;
He parachuted into the steel rolling mill, and had no confidants of his own, only knowing He Yuzhu; although He Yuzhu was only the canteen director, he was also the supervisor of logistics subordinates, so naturally he had to be won over!
His father-in-law told him to study hard. In two years, Zheng Kangzhan would definitely be promoted, whether as deputy director of the steel mill or to another position, and he would take over and become the director of the logistics department and a member of the factory committee.

Therefore, from now on, he has to cultivate his confidants so that he can take full control of the logistics department when he takes over as director!
"Director, we should maintain a superior-subordinate relationship in the factory. Otherwise, I don't care, but it will be bad for you!"

He Yuzhu complained in his heart, the leader just said that, if you take it seriously, you will really become a fool;
Many times, the leader's politeness is one thing, and your tactfulness is another, which is emotional intelligence;
He knows the cruelty of the workplace, and he knows how to get along with his superiors. Before Li Huaide took up his post at the steel mill, it was fine for him to be casual, but now it is not possible.
Li Huaide's intention to close the door was obvious. He could support him in work, but he didn't want to be labeled as Li Huaide;

Li Huaide was truly in control, but his ability in the factory was not very strong during this period. There were too many people who could hinder Li Huaide, and he would not do anything stupid that would lose money but gain publicity.

Others have a good father-in-law to protect them, but he doesn't. Look at Li Huaide, isn't he still doing very well?

From now on, he had to walk the fine line between leaders, not be a fence-sitter, and certainly not be labeled by anyone, and had to strike a good balance;
He is a neutral person. No matter who assigns him a task, he will complete it in a disciplined manner, not flattering the powerful and trampling on the weak, and not doing things perfunctorily.

Of course, the canteen must be under his own absolute control, and there can be no slackness in this regard;
Since it is a factory, no matter how the leaders are replaced, the key is still the workers. The emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. If it really comes to the last resort, it is not impossible to pull down a leader;

Of course, this is a very bad strategy and it should not be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary. Even if it makes his work go smoothly, he must keep the canteen firmly in his hands!
Neutrals are also at great risk. When two factions are deadlocked, neutrals may become targets of both parties.
Both sides are afraid that the neutral person will side with either side and affect the crucial battle situation, but he is just a cafeteria director and is not yet at the point where he can influence the outcome, so it is highly likely that there will not be much impact!
"You, okay, let's do as you say. In private, we can still call each other brothers!" Li Huaide's words brought He Yuzhu, whose thoughts were stranded, back to reality. Li Huaide was very happy that He Yuzhu was sensible. He was really ignorant and it would definitely affect his prestige.

Being able to win over others is one thing, but being tactful is another. How could he not know the importance of the concept of superiors and subordinates?

The government is the place where the concept of superiors and subordinates is most concerned. These years in the government have not been in vain!

"Director, do you have something to arrange? Just give me a call, no need to come in person?"

Seeing that Li Huaide was hesitant to speak, He Yuzhu took the initiative to ask, why does Li Huaide have this problem? If there is something, just say it directly. It's too unpleasant to be nagging!

"Zhu Zi, have you heard about the steel mill's expansion?"

Li Huaide was not polite. He took the boiled water handed over by He Yuzhu, took a sip, and said casually!
"I heard that rumors are spreading by the ton these days. It's hard not to hear them!"

He Yuzhu didn't know Li Huaide's purpose, so he could only talk and wait for the other party to speak!
"Our factory's canteen is going to be expanded to five more, and the director wants me to take charge of this.

The canteen expansion is not a big problem. The construction team has already started. It is estimated that it will be ready for use in about a week. The key is that it is difficult to find a chef!"

Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't ask, Li Huaide rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "You could at least ask a few more questions!"
"What does the Director mean?"

This is no secret. Although I don’t know if it is the canteen, there are indeed several vacant lots being built at the same time. It seems that the workshop and the canteen are being built at the same time!

"Zhu Zi, in two days, the factory will start recruiting workers from the society. By then, there will be more than 10,000 workers. With so many workers, food will be a problem.

The canteen is short of a chef, so we have to think about it in advance. I mean, ask your master if there is anyone who wants to work in the factory.
I know that many chefs want to work in restaurants, where they not only have more opportunities to practice, but also receive a good salary.

However, the demand for restaurants is limited after all, so I still hope you can mobilize some people to come to the factory to work, what do you think?"

At this time, Li Huaide was eager to prove his ability, and Zheng Kangzhan did not allow him to interfere in key matters such as procurement, finance, and barracks.
He was only asked to be in charge of the canteen and warehouse. In this case, he had to perform well in this ordinary position and demonstrate his ability.

Even if the results are not ideal, you cannot cause trouble. Otherwise, you will have to exit in disgrace and return to the office!

He was not worried. He Yuzhu was the only one in the cafeteria. First of all, he had a good relationship with He Yuzhu. If he needed He Yuzhu's support at work, he would naturally give him some convenience.

If He Yuzhu can't find so many chefs, he can recruit from the society, and He Yuzhu can't say anything;
Secondly, in his heart, the most important thing in the canteen is the small kitchen. The chef in the workers' canteen is just an ordinary worker, and the people he serves are different!

“Well, Director, let me give it a try. If we expand it to ten cafeterias, we only need four chefs;
The old man in the canteen, Ma, had long been able to handle things on his own, and he was also familiar with the operating rules of the kitchen, which came in handy;
I think like this, the existing chefs will go to the newly built canteen, and the new chefs will go to the current canteen;

The original chef is familiar with the operation procedures of the kitchen, and can arrange the work of the kitchen assistants, so there is no need to worry too much;

The new chef needs to learn our management rules for materials, consumption, safety, etc. The operation will definitely not be smooth at the beginning. The assistant chef can provide suggestions and mentor the new chef. What do you think?"

There will definitely be no problem with four chefs. The eldest brother is in Fengze Garden, and the other three brothers can come over, plus the eldest brother's apprentice, and we will be all set.
The kitchen helpers are originally old brothers, which helps the senior brothers and nephews to get started as soon as possible. There are fewer constraints and they won’t be in a rush. The canteen remains stable, which is very good!
"Haha, you are indeed thoughtful. I'll do as you say. The chef's matter is of great importance and must be implemented quickly!"

Li Huaide was overjoyed. Although He Yuzhu did not promise, he did not refuse either. That was enough!

"Okay, Director, make some side dishes for lunch, shall we sit down?"

After the matter was said, He Yuzhu knew it was time to change the topic. As the canteen director, he naturally wanted to express his feelings. If Li Huaide agreed, he would take action. If he disagreed, his goal would be achieved!

"Zhu Zi, there is a long way to go. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. You should keep a low profile since you have just taken up the position!"

Li Huaide was quite relaxed. Eating was the most important thing. If he couldn't eat, he would be the first to be beaten. Fortunately, He Yuzhu was "one of his own"!
